Our Love Story | Kim Seokjin

his point of view

       Standing on stage as eyes were on me while waiting for the bride. Everyone was anticipating for the wedding, except someone.

I saw her sitting next to a friend of mine—she looked so beautiful with her adorable hairstyle.

I wanted to look at her face and tell her how I missed her—but it was my wedding day with a different woman.

As soon the bride entered, the crowds squealed, cameras were flashing and the wedding music was played.

I smiled, at least I tried to smile like an excited proud man. Sometimes I asked myself; are you sure about this?

knowing how ruined my life would be if the wedding ever happen; why are you always the nice man?

If I didn't go to school early that day, I wouldn't have met her. If I didn't meet her that day, she wouldn't have call me for help and I wouldn't have to say yes just because I hated when woman cries.

Just because of the sound of my phone ringing in the midnight, unfortunately caused myself to wake up.

her voice was loud and clear and then she cried her heart out. “Mr. Kim, please help me...”

“W-why, did something happened?”

At that moment, my heart began to race and of course, I got up from bed as I was fully awake. Then quickly, I took my jacket and car keys while still holding the phone.

As soon she gave me the address, I drove to where she was with loads of question in my head.

and when I arrived, I understood and that was when my stupidity came.

she was crying on the floor, covering her half naked body with her hands. she was raped by her own boyfriend.

I gave her my jacket and let her wore it as then I hugged her before carrying her to my car.

“It's okay, you're fine now,” I kept telling her.

I thought I was only going to be her comforter, unfortunately as weeks passed, she told me that she was pregnant.

she told me that her parents were strict and she was scared of telling her boyfriend. And because I was a nice man, I stupidly decided to be the father of her child.

Did I have other choice? She was living alone in her small flat, lost and miserable. She needed a support, love and care—as I was the only person who knew about her pregnancy.

I was there to buy her complete meals, to held her and to accompany her for every check up. even though I was at New York, I was still there to give her support.

If only I felt something to her, I might be excited with the wedding. no one knew how regretted I was every time I looked into Wendy's eyes.

her eyes were filled with undiscovered constellation—to which I had fallen for every each of them.

As Yoonha was beside me, I saw her standing up from her seat and leave the hall. It broke me when she was out of sight.

watching her leave was the real ending of our friendship—it was as if she given up her feelings toward me.

and I couldn't take it anymore. I released Yoonha's hand and spoke- “I'm sorry but I don't think we can continue—”

“Taehyung-ah,”

I thought I was ruining the wedding, but her boyfriend appeared with fear on his face. everyone was looking at him in surprised, as Yoonha was in tears.

“I'm sorry,” he said. “I'm sorry for being a bad person but you know how much I love you,” then there were tears in his eyes.

he was, good looking. however, he looked reckless—leather jacket, ripped jeans and worn out timberland. his lips were dark as his eyes were red. he was sobered after drunk, and he smoked all the way to the hall.

“That baby...is ours,” he said softly while pointing at her stomach. “Yoonha, I-I promise to come home and start working, please believe me. I will not hurt you anymore!”

in the end, the wedding was cancelled.

so after that day, I went to Brooklyn every month, just to find Wendy. but she wasn't there, not even one day.

I wanted to tell her that the wedding was cancelled, that I wanted to be with her that I didn't want her to leave.

but a year, one complete year, I waited for her at Brooklyn with various of ideas in my mind for her, different places and any gifts for her.

until today, I met her at a flower shop that was beside her flat. she was wearing her usual blue jacket while admiring a daisy.

she was really beautiful; long hair, rosy lips and she was beside me.

it's good to see you, Wendy, my darling.
