||10|| Paradox

||T A E H Y U N G||

As I sat in Lisa's office, my gaze wandered across the opulent surroundings, leaving me in awe. The lavish setting begged the question of why someone like Lisa,

who could easily attract affluent suitors and many good men, was drawn to someone like me. The thought lingered, a paradox of emotions stirring within.

It was impossible not to feel a sense of significance, a peculiar awareness of being chosen, but I couldn't let myself dwell on such an idea.

Deep down, a conflict brewed, questioning my desires and what I truly wanted. I couldn't deny the magnetic pull of Lisa's presence-an inexplicable connection that made her special to me.

Yet, reality casts a shadow on our potential future. Our lives were worlds apart-she, a woman of luxury, and I, a struggling middle-class man navigating the complexities of life and family.

I once had everything under my feet, but I sacrificed it for Jennie and Binna.

Despite this disparity, Lisa became a beacon of inspiration. In her, I found a source of motivation that reignited dreams long forgotten.

Her influence spurred me to work relentlessly, earning enough to own the heavy bike I once dreamed of. Beyond that, a newfound ambition took root-the prospect of establishing my workshop.

Lisa wasn't just a fleeting desire; she became a catalyst for change, propelling me toward aspirations I had long neglected.

In the delicate dance between conflicting emotions, I found myself on a journey of self-discovery, fueled by the enigmatic presence of Lisa in my life.

In the contemplative moments of my life, I find myself driven by a desire to become something significant-not just for my daughter but also for my sense of fulfillment.

The complexity of my relationship with Jennie looms, and I am uncertain about whether she truly wants to be a part of my life.

I've matured enough to acknowledge that forcing her presence wouldn't be fair; respect takes precedence over any lingering teenage attraction.

As life unfolds, I've come to grasp its essence-it's not solely about fleeting desires or physical connections.

Comfort, or a sense of solace, has become paramount. In Lisa, I've discovered a source of that comfort-an inexplicable bond that goes beyond the superficial. Yet, a shadow of doubt looms as I grapple with the reality of our disparate worlds.

Lisa, a free spirit capable of soaring beyond constraints, stands in stark contrast to my familial obligations, chaining me to responsibilities.

It's a paradox-like water and sun, inherently beautiful together yet destined to remain apart. These moments, where our worlds briefly intertwine, feel like fleeting perfection.

Despite the connection, I'm plagued by the uncertainty of Lisa's permanence in my life. I acknowledge the potential transience-the fact that she might fly away while I remain tethered.

As these thoughts weigh on my mind, I find solace in the hope that these beautiful moments can persist, allowing me to appreciate the ephemeral beauty of our shared experiences.

The question lingers, unspoken and unanswered, as to whether Lisa will ever become a permanent fixture in my life.

In the complex tapestry of my life, amidst the presence of Jennie and Leila, Lisa stands as a unique thread, weaving a relationship fraught with complications.
