The warm curse: Sacrifice for love

A warmful hug

The sun hasn't risen up yet.
Cha young woke up from her uncomfortable sleep.
She was sitting on the floor, with her head leaning on the sofa and supporting it with her hand.

She woke up startled... All she could remember was blurred voices echoing in her head. She didn't remember much.
Vincenzo is coming to her
He is leaving her
She is falling asleep

It was still dark outside, Cha young saw... She wanted to sleep, but her head was pounding like crazy.
Was she drinking again...? Nope, she didn't remember that she did.

So since Cha young couldn't sleep, she thought to make a tea for herself, and just when she stood up she was the flowers on the floor.

She remembered
He found out
They argued
She yelled at him to leave her
He left
She cried herself out and passed out

Cha young got closer to the broken vase and those flowers. Thoughts were observing her head, and she didn't know what was right to think and what was wrong.
So she kneeled down and started cleaning up the mess when a tear slid from her face. She immediately wiped it, but another one felt.
Cha young again felt hopeless. She sat down thinking or maybe just trying to think cause her head felt so empty right now...

The only thing that was sure was that she wanted so bad to go to him, but he is probably still sleeping, and it's just 4 am.
But who cares. She needs him, and she doesn't care about anything else.

So, without thinking much, she got out of her home and drove to Geumga Plaza.

Outside, it was pouring, but still, Cha young managed to come fast to the Plaza.
And just when she got there she immediately went to Vincenzo's apartment.
She was knocking like she was going to break the door, but no one answered... She even called him but he didn't answer the phone.

Cha young didn't know what to do. She went to Jipuragi hoping he'll be there but no... So now what... To go home or to wait for him here...? She lost all hopes at finding him so decided to wait in front of his apartment.

And she did, she sat in front of his door, with her head leaning an the wall.
She waited... Waited and waited... Maybe half an hour, maybe one hour, or maybe even more.

But then someone's footsteps started echoing in the hall.
Vincenzo saw Cha young who was leaning on the door and sleeping in coldness.
Cha young was wet from head to toes from the rain outside since she didn't think of bringing an umbrella with her.
He ran to her and kneeled down.

"Cha young... Cha young, please wake up."
Vincenzo was only thinking what she was doing here at this hour

But Cha young was too tired even to open her eyes, she heard the voice and smiled a little.

Vincenzo didn't have other choices, so he picked Cha young in bridal style and went into his apartment. He placed Cha young on the sofa and went to get a blanket so at least Cha young won't tremble from cold.
He did, and when he got back into the room, Cha young was already sitting, a little bit out of sense, but still looking at him sweetly.

"You're here..."
She said, her voice suddenly fading

Vincenzo didn't wait and put the blanket on her, and she hugged it cause not to lie. It was really cold outside.

"What are you doing here at this hour?"

Vincenzo sat across her, while Cha young was feeling much better now, even though her hair was still wet and drops were falling from it.

"What do you think... Probably not because I wanted to see you at 4 am."

Cha young may regret what she said and wanted to apologise. Her pride didn't let her fall in front of Vincenzo

"Where were you? I was waiting in the cold for you! What if now I become sick?!"
She was angry, annoyed, furious, tired... Or maybe just wanted a hug from Vincenzo that she wasn't going to get it easily as it looks

"How is it my fault that you came here at this hour... Also, you have a spare key so you can easily get in."
Vincenzo didn't back off also

"I forgot it at home!"
Cha young spontaneously answered

"Hah.. Unbelievable!"
Vincenzo stood up and went to the kitchen doing something, but still ready to fight with Hong Cha young

"Yaa! You were the one who left me home like that! If you didn't-"
She was rudely interrupted

"As if I did it on my will! You said it for me to leave..."
Vincenzo answered with a cold tone

"Yeah... Like you didn't always leave me behind!"
Cha young yelled back at him

"I didn't even have a choice!"
He yelled back while going back to his seat across Cha young with two cups of tea for them

"Here drink this... I don't plan for you to be sick again"
Vincenzo put her cup on the table close to her

Cha young just looked at the cup with ann an yed look and looked outside the windows

"I don't want it! Thank you..."
She said with a more calm voice but still angry

"Hong cha young sto,  being so childish! Drink that it will help you and stop getting angry when it's you yourlt. You hide it from me!"

Cha younyoung startled by Vincenzo words. She obeyed like a little kid and got the cup from the table.

"Why...?"
Vincenzo was now calm and still staring in Cha young

"What, why?"
Cha young didn't even dare to look at him

"Why didn't you tell me anything?"

"Let's not talk about it once again..."
She felt her sight a little blury causcausetears

"I know you came here to talk so , tart talking... Say something... Anything is better than seeing you suffer alone."
Vincenzo didn't turn his look of her even though she was turned to the other side

But when she heard Vincenzo's words she, let herself look at him

"I couldn't looslose, so I only thought of finding a way to save you, and... Now... Everything was going as planned but, you found out-out-What was going as planned? You Are youing your life for me??"
Vincenzo said this with heavy voice. He couldn't even think about it

"Let me ask you... Won't you do the same for me..?"
Cha younyounge him a little hurtful smile

"Of course I WOULD... But-"
Vincenzo sat next to Cha young and rubbed her shoulder

"Then why can't I do that for you? I can't looslose, I can't see you leaving my side again... Not again..."

Vincenzo could see how hurt was Cha young. Her little sincere smile and the tears in her eyes spoke enough for Vincenzo to understand how much she suffered.
And so he didn't have words, anything to say, so he hugged her.

Cha young could only feel the warm body that close to her. She placed her hands on his back and sobbed quietly.

"Let's fight this like the old times... No one is leaving, and we will win together, okay?
Vincenzo reassured her while caressing her hair

"I wasn't planning on giving up anyway"

They chuckled both with bittersweet emotions.

"I am sorry for everything..."
Cha young said while closing her eyes and enjoying their warmful hug

"I am sorry too..."

They were still sitting in their tight embrace, no one daring to break the peace.
So that way, while hugging and leaning on each other's shoulder, sitting on the sofa... They fall asleep.
