Author's Pov:

Aera again went to the abandoned park, sitting on her favorite spot gazing at the stars. "What did I ever do to deserve such things?", she whispered leaning against the tree.

"Hello! Nice to meet you again", the same man said. Aera frowned, "Do you live here?".

He laughed and shook his head, "Nope but I love coming here. It gives me peace". He sat down beside her. Aera instantly moved away from him, a habit of hers.

"Are you still afraid of me? I am not a creep", He said, "Anyways, my name is Ming- Myungho", he introduced.

Aera squinted her eyes, "Ming Myungho? What kind of name is that?". He cleared his throat, "Umm no. I have two name, one is my original, Xu Minghao and the other one is my Korean name. Out of habit I was about to say Minghao".

"Minghao", she murmured. "Yep, you can call me that. Whatever you are comfortable with", he smiled, "I was born and brought up in China. I came here as I got a decent job". Aera nodded waiting for him to go away but he still sat there.

"So, what have you thought? Divorcing him or giving him a second a chance", he asked. "I know I might sound rude but can you please move and do you own work? It is my personal life and I don't like sharing my personal life", Aera said.

Minghao have an awkward smile, "Umm, sorry for disturbing your personal space. But he looked worried yesterday when he came here".

"He came here?", she asked and patted him to sit beside her. Minghao nodded, "Yeah, he was searching for you. He looked so worried, maybe giving him a second chance won't hurt".

Aera sighed, "I hate second chances and I also hate people who ask for second chance".

Minghao raised his eye brows, "You hate your husband?". Aera immediately shook her head, "I never said I hate him. I can never hate him, Minghao. If my life is the darkest night then he is the brightest moon light. He was the one who helped me come over my past. I can never hate him, not even my dreams. He was ready to do everything just to give me happiness".

"So, you love him?", he asked. She nodded without any hesitancy, "I am in problem, Minghao. My heart wants me to give him a second chance but my mind is asking him not to".

"What about him? Does he still love you?", Minghao was curious. "He does or maybe did. We could read eachother like an open book. You know, before I knew anything could happened like this, I saw he was guilty about something. Since that day he trying his best to talk to me and today we did". She smiled, "You know, even after knowing my past and how I was, he never gave up. I ignored him a lot of times, like a lot but still he never left my hand. He was ready to accept me despite my past and how I was. He helped me accept myself the way I was. Not like some others who always taunted and never believed me".

"So, what's wrong in giving a second chance? You love him, he loves you. Just give it a try", Minghao said. Aera's face hardened, "I just hate it, Minghao", her voice showing no intentions of talking more.

She hated talking to someone she didn't knew but with Minghao it was different. She wanted him to go away but at the same time she wanted him to stay. Maybe it was because of his aura which made her feel comfortable, the way he gave her advices helped her.

"So, you had a bad past?", he asked, "How did you get to know about this place?". Aera smiled sadly, "Umm, to cut it short, I had a really bad day and someone had told me about this garden saying no one else comes here. So, I came here. It became my favorite place. Everytime I had something bad, I'd come here. Let me tell you something, I have known this place for a long time. Something like 10 years".
