Our New Fate

Chapter 1: My Life Without You

This is an old story of mine, still ungoing, that I decided to bring to this site to check if anyone here is interested in reading it. You can check the trailer above, and if you didn't watch the drama, there's no need to - this fanfiction is an alternative universe, and the flashbacks brings back everything you need to know to understand the fanfic and meet the characters. Hope you enjoy it! :)

"Oh this is life without you

Learning how to miss you

I guess I need to know, how it feels like"

Autumn was still beginning, but the wind was already colder than it should be. Go Nam Soon wasn't wearing appropriate clothes for the weather, so he couldn't be more relieved when he finally reached home, bringing up the last box with his belongings.

He had just moved to his new apartment in the center of Seoul. It was a small place, but it was all he could afford. He would start his new life in this new city, and hoped things would get better now, as much as possible. It had been a month since his father passed away - he still wondered if he would have moved otherwise, but was sure he wouldn't. Go Nam Soon hadn't done much of his life. He lived the past ten years in a small town, barely graduated high school, and had never been into college. His grades were usually bad, not that he was a delinquent, but rather because he never paid much attention to school, sleeping in more than half of the classes. It was still a surprise that he managed to graduate.

And in the next three years after graduation he had a couple of part-time jobs in different places - a restaurant, a gas station, and a comic book store. He also completed his two years of mandatory military service, although this had never been a problem since he didn't have anyone waiting for him at home. He went because he had to, but it was never hard to leave - his father wasn't even there to say goodbye when he left, and neither to greet him when he came back. However, Nam Soon didn't bother about that anymore. It had always been like that since he was a child, so he was already used to it.

A year after he came back from the army his life just continued from where it had been left. Part-time job after part-time job. He lived his life just like that - without paying much attention to his future. He just lived and didn't care. And he wasn't even sure why he decided to move to the capital, because he still didn't care about what would be of his life. He just kept on living, without any aspirations or dreams, when, suddenly, his father suffered a car accident and stayed in coma for three months, until he passed away.

In ten years, he didn't have any friends - but Nam Soon didn't look for them either. People approached him, his classmates were usually nice to him, and sometimes he wouldn't feel totally alone. But those didn't leave a mark. They appeared and soon vanished, becoming only reminiscences in his memory of his days at school. People who made him favors, people he helped, people who hurt him. However, after six years, he barely remembered any of them.

"All I need is someone right here beside me

Oh now I can see"

There was only one person that never really left his mind. One person that was always there in his memories, in his thoughts. That person who, once, a long time ago, used to be the most important in his life. At that time where he still had dreams. But somehow those dreams also vanished long ago.
