Arranged Marriage to Mr. Nam Woohyun

⤜Chapter Forty-One: Answers ⤛

"Woohyun?"

You waited for him to turn around. Your heart quickly paced. Chills ran down your body. Your eyes watered.
The man turned around and looked at you. He was confused.
You released his arm, when you realized that man wasn't Woohyun. You bowed to him, apologetically.
"I'm sorry." You said in Japanese. The man accepted your gesture and walked away. You covered your face and harshly wiped your tears away.
You sighed and looked around. You felt like you were going crazy.
His figure resembled so much like Woohyun. You looked at the man disappear in the crowd. You wanted to get off of the bridge walkway, so that's what you did.

You sat on the couch with the TV playing. You stared at the show that was playing, but you didn't understand what was happening. Your mind was only on Woohyun.
"I'm thinking too much. He's not here. It's only my imagination."
You said as you closed your eyes.
You covered your face with your hands and tried to not cry.
Your phone rang, distracting you from your thoughts.

"Hello?" You answered.
No one answered. You looked at the caller ID, but it was unknown. You placed your phone back on your ear.
"Hello?" You greeted again, but still no reply came through.
You ended to call after no one replied. You threw your phone next to you then grabbed the pillow behind you and hugged it tightly.
That night, you fell asleep on the couch with the TV playing.
➽─────────❥
You looked at your reflection in the bathroom.
"Today's going to be a good day!" You motivated yourself. You gave yourself a hwaiting sign and a smile to feel confident.
You decided to go hiking on that same mountain you once hiked with Woohyun. You had hoped it would bring some closure for you. This time though, you were going to hike on the other side of the mountain. You clipped on your simple backpack. You wore a light jacket and slipped on your tennis shoes.
"You got this!" You told yourself again.

"I will park on the other side, Ms. ----- shi. Please call me when you're ready to leave." Your driver notified.
"Thank you!" You said and closed the door. You looked at the hiking trail. You took a deep breath and began your walk into the woods. You took out your polaroid camera and snapped pictures of the calming yet beautiful landscape.
You didn't know, but it brought you peace since Woohyun's disappearance. Without realizing, you did not think of him once during your walk. You were determined to make it to some of the higher elevations to see the sunrise.
The sound of the wood eased your depression. It felt like you were in your own world with no worries or regrets. You would check the time on your watch here and there, making sure you would make it in time for the sunrise. Surprisingly, you were on track. The higher you hiked the steeper the terrain got, making it a difficult for you to continue.
"Come on! Almost there!" You tried motivating yourself.
"I can't miss this!"
Your determination to see the sunrise was real.
➽─────────❥
Just as you were near the one of the higher elevations, your phone slipped out of your jacket pocket.
"Omo, why?"
You complained. The fact was that you saw the sun rising. You quickly turned around and looked at where your phone slid down to. You took a few steps back down the steep terrain to retrieve your phone.
Just as you were about pick up your phone, someone had picked your phone before you did.
You looked at your phone that was in the other person's hand. You took it and bowed down a little as a gesture of "thank you."

You lifted your head to see the person.
Your heart dropped, and your eyes widened. All of those feelings that you once felt before came back. Your body paralyzed at that moment.
Is it really you?
You questioned in your mind.
His eyes locked in with your eyes.

Woohyun broke the eye contact and turned away from you. He walked back down.
You did exactly what your instinct told you. You dropped your phone and followed him. Your legs grew weak, making you fall to the ground.
Woohyun turned around and saw you on the ground. He quickly ran up the slope and kneeled down in front of you, grabbing your arm. You lifted your head and looked at him again. You couldn't believe it was him. You weren't dreaming or hallucinating.
"Are you okay?"
He asked.
You missed his voice.
