[JK FF/ENG] He's the fire, and she's the water

➖PROLOGUE ➖

It was raining....
It was raining again.

I looked out of the window and watched how the raindrops were running down the glass of the window. The melodic sound of the rain that was hitting our roof had something calming about it. My breath became more steady and the tears of mine started to dry. It was useless to keep crying. It wouldn't change anything. Nothing.
I couldn't get her back to life and knowing that my heart started to hurt painfully. She was already away. She was finally free. Free from the pain she had gone through all this years.

"It's over.", I whispered to myself while closing my eyes. "She can live peacefully now..."

I took a deep breath before I putted the sheet over myself properly. The coldness that was slowly coming through the the walls made me shake a little. And the fact that I was sitting on the floor in a corner of my room made it even worse. But I didn't care...
I didn't care about getting a cold. Why should I? There was no reason for me to be worried about myself. I had never been worried about myself.
All I was caring about was my mum. I loved her more than I would ever love myself. She was always first while I putted me second.

She was everything to me.

She was so dear to me...
I closed my eyes and leaned against the cold wall. The sadness that was overwhelming my body made me cry again. Not only my sadness but also...
The knowledge that everyone was gone now. The knowledge that was telling me that I had no one anymore.
With that feeling I started to doze off and glide into a dreamless sleep.

On the next morning I woke up earlier than I had to. So I walked out of my room and got dressed. It was a Monday morning which meant that I needed to go to university. It was good to wake up this early because I had enough time to get ready and eat breakfast before I would leave the house.
I walked down the stairs to go to the kitchen and was greeted by Luna, my dog. She looked excited to see me so I went on my knees and started to carries her.
I smiled.
She was the only thing that could light up my life.
"How are you, Luna?", I asked her while she was running around in circles around me. "You're seem to be in a quite good mood today."
Luna followed me into the kitchen and observed what I was doing. I went to my fridge to see what I could eat this morning. Usually I didn't have enough time to spare in the morning to eat a proper breakfast since mum passed away. Honestly, I didn't feel the need to eat at all. It was hard for me to force myself to eat but I needed to.
"Something easy...", I mumbled to myself. "That should be okay."
After deciding what to eat I took out some yogurt and fruits and putted them down on the kitchen table. Luna started to run around when I sat down at the table and started to chop the fruits into small pieces. She seemed so excited that she actually made me laugh slightly.

"Stop that, Luna. Sit down now!", I said in a nearly strict voice. Luna stopped walking around and looked up to me with big round eyes.

"What is it?", I asked. Making her walking towards to the front door but before she went around the corner she looked back to me again. I sighed before I got up from my chair and followed her to the front door of this building where she stopped to look up to me again.
I didn't get what she wanted from me. She had never been like that. So why was she acting like that out of the blue?
But there seemed to be something that was bothering her so I opened the door to find a bouquet lying there on the floor. It had a little card on it. So I picked it up and went back into the house.
The flowers of the bouquet were the flowers that mother loved all her life long because they were like a memory from the area she came from. She had missed her hometown so much after she moved to the city because of her marriage with the man who made me. And even after their divorce she didn't go back. No matter how hard she missed to be with her family. Just because she was thinking about me. Mum always wanted me to graduate from university. She always wanted the best for me.
Since I was two years old we had lived alone after my 'producer' left her for another woman.
That bastard already had a family. A woman that loved him that left everything behind because she was drunk of her love to him. A woman that even carried his child. But it wasn't enough for him...
He had affairs. Many of them. But my mum was so naive to believe and stay with  him until she found him in their bedroom with another woman. The woman who even got pregnant from him while he was still married with my mother.
That opened my mum's eyes and she decided to leave him.
She chose to be there to only for me. The kid that belonged to that bastard that betrayed her over and over again.
But she loved me. She raised me with all of her heart and I was grateful for it. She did everything for me and I couldn't give it back to her because she got sick. Really sick.
And the only thing that I could do back then was watching how she was slowly dying in front of my eyes. I couldn't do anything about it. I was useless.
She gave her anything to me and I? I just watched how she disappeared day by day without being able to help her.

I gulped my tears down and shook my head lightly. Feeling how Luna was  whimpering next to me to wake me up from my day dream.
"It's okay, Luna. I'm fine."
After I said this I went back into the kitchen and laid the flower bouquet on the table. I opened the card to read what was written in the inside. My eyes widened when I saw who it belonged to and I felt how my hand became a fist.

"Dear Sohee,

I'm very sad about your lost. I know what she meant to you. She was your mother after all.

You'll be mad when you'll read that because you think I never cared about you. But I really care about you, Sohee. She was your mother but here I am. Your father that has never been able to meet you because Jisook didn't wanted me to.
She told me to stay away from you.

But I love you, Sohee.
I really want to help you. You're so young and I really want you to come back to me. To live with my family and me. To do the things that daughters do with their fathers.

Please contact me as soon as possible,
Your father"

I read the sentences over and over again until I felt how I got angrier with every time.
He was blaming my mum because that bastard didn't cared about me? Giving a woman who can't defense herself because she wasn't able to do it anymore. He was disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting.

Suddenly I saw a paragraph written on the back of the card that I didn't see before. I turned the card to read it.

"And just so that you know... I know that you're an adult know, Sohee. But I still pay your university fees so maybe you should think twice before turning down my offers...

Dad."
