Hwayugi fanfic (Korean odyssey) : Guardian

Mermaid's tear part 1

For the past few days, he's always sleeping.

Although he still likes to tease her and act like a bully, but whenever she looks at his sleeping face, her heart is filled with love and slight sorrow.

She knew, her returning from the underworld did not come without costs.

Although she doesn't know how scary the underworld was. Back then, all that was occupying her fading soul was.......his sadness.

He's straightforward and powerful. Someone like him has cried for her. Shed tears, was in pain and even chased after her deceased soul into the underworld disregarding all the unknown obstacles.

She used to ask him about it but he always brushed it aside nonchalantly. However, whenever he falls asleep, those faint scars on his face and body silently says it all.

In this world, normal things couldn't hurt him.

However, on the day when she was killed by that evil person, her soul entered the underworld. Everyone knows, to take a soul from the underworld, or to break any rules and rhythm of life and death must pay for the price. Doesn't matter who it is.

Even if it's The great sage Son Oh Gong.

Back then, she thought to herself that she would be able to reincarnate.

Yet, the lord of the underworld explained to her with a smile, that every generation of Samjang does not have the chance to reincarnate.

The body of Samjang is purely made to contain evil. When they fulfil their mission. All will rest forever on the wheel of reincarnation.

The lord seems to notice something off with her right eye, but he said nothing.

Then, she finally realized, why Baek Lo died.

Because Baek Lo......was always waiting for someone, to reborn into the world.

Yet, unfortunately, she arrived infront of Baek Lo.

From the day when Jin Seon Mi was born, Baek Lo knew that her lover will never come back. Therefore when the sword appeared, she.....broke the promise with that person.

When Baek Lo died, he still lied to her. If she didn't find out at the end, then, the person who would have died.....would be him.

She feels selfish.

She knows, to be the person who is left behind will be in excruciating pain. But back then, she thought, maybe, if they can remove the GGG, he would forgot about love, and forget about her.

She........cannot allow him to die.

Because, she, loves him. Therefore, she made a very selfish decision.

But she didn't know. He has won over the GGG long ago. His love puts him in pain and makes him go crazy. Because he's frank, honest and straightforward. If he's set to do something, he would never hesitate of waver. Maybe that's why....a personality like that, is more vulnerable to pain than a human would.

For her, he would chase her into the underworld.

But, it seems like she hasn't done much for him.

The proud and strong fairy-nim, The great sage Son Oh Gong, the love he bestow upon her is as wide as the world. Gazing intensely into his face. She wants to become closer to him.....just a bit more.
