Chapter 7: TOO LATE

I look my surrounding. I am standing by the bridge overlooking the Han River. Due to the heavy rain, there is not a single person in sight. Just few cars passing by. I looked down to the water that is singing and passing in waves ignorant to what is happening above it. My legs have already decided for me and brought me here. What is left is taking action. There is no doubt this is the right choice to make. Actually no, there are no other options. I don't have the luxury to make choices. I have to end this misery. I am already dead inside anyways.

I jumped over the little fence. Now I am standing on the edge. My life flashing through my eyes.

His picture being the dominant one. His face, smile everything. I wonder if the baby would have taken after him or me? I smile to myself knowing that I am taking his first child with me. The sound of my phone interrupted me again. This time I picked it up instantly without seeing the caller. Hoping it is my Doctor to tell me he was mistaken. However, the sound I heard on the other line was the voice that once soothed me, the voice that I once would kill for to hear. I looked at my phone to make sure I was not crazy. It reads "Kookie❤️". It really is him. Are heaven and earth colliding?

"Hello" he said. I remained silent.

"Listen I am so sorry. I was tired and drunk. I did not mean anything I said." An apology is the last thing I expected to hear.

"Stay where you are. I am coming to you." He continued.

"How do you know where I am?"

"I have your location." Ughhhh this damn phone I should have left it too.

"Why are you coming? What do you want?"

"The doctor called me. He was worried when you went MIA on him. He told me that, you know that you are pregnant."

"So?"

"I know I messed things up but we can work it out. I promise you."

"No, there is nothing to work up about."

"Don't say that. I will never hurt you again give me a second chance."

"I am done. There is no going back now."

"I am here. Let's talk." I turned around carefully grabbing the metal fence. He is running towards me only few feets between us.

"Jeon you can't change my mind stop it."

"I promise I will be good to you again. We can get married like you always wanted. I will be a great dad too. Just listen to me please."

"You are doing this to ease your guilt. You don't care about me at all."

"I do care about you. I love you; I swear I love you so much. I am so sorry it took me to lose you to realize how important you are. I will never let it happen again." He is right in front of me now.

He is drenched in the rain, his lovely hair damp and sticking to his face.

"Babe please come here. Let us go home." He extended his hand for me. He sound so genuine, he knows I go weak when he calls me that.

"I took your hand before, Jeon, and you smothered me with it. I'd rather die now than to live that sadistic life again."

"I told you that I'll be good. I promise I'll give you what you want. I love you La-Ra. Please my love come here." He reaches out to grab me. Before he could, I slipped backwards and let the wind take me down.

"You are too late." I whispered into the phone and closed my eyes. I can hear him screaming as the cold water hugs my body into the deep filling my lungs and swallowing my tears.

I can finally rest in peace.
