Children part 16

The rain's heavy today.

She walked alone for a long time.

Today, she visited a lot of place by herself.

She followed the path in the city. She went to her old school, she went to the river that changed her fate. She stood outside her uncle's door, watching her aged families who didn't acknowledge her as one. She saw Mi-Joo and her child. She watched the people that abandoned her, she doesn't feel anything in her heart anymore.

There's no more love, and no more hate.

She also went to the Sacred Heart orphanage, the burnt remnant is still surrounded by journalist and news reporters.

She went back into the burnt hallway, went to the room with the closet that she used to hide in. Those placed.....it contains awful memories, but at the same time, also contains the person who protected and loved her with tears and blood.

Only till really late at night, she finally realizes that she has to go home.

When she got back to the house, he cooked fried fish.

The smell of oil is everywhere in the house.

He didn't say anything. He passed her a pair of chopsticks and said Jin Seon Mi, time to eat.

And that is all.

She sits there silently and didn't exchange any conversation with him.

She didn't pay too much attention to the food he worked hard to prepare for her.

He's no longer acting short-tempered. These days, he's never expressed any signs of annoyance, giving her all the right to do whatever she wants.

But that night after dinner, she walked into the closet, accidentally feeling the wetness on his wind coat.

Just for an instance, but that instance, she understood a lot.

Why, he didn't ask where she went.....

It's because where ever she is, he will follow and be there for her.

In her life, it's not just Yun-He who was there for her. She's so selfish, she only thought about herself and lost sight of the people around her.

He is always there for her.

Almost without any complaint.

She holds onto his clothes, hot tears drop into the rain-drenched wind coat.

That night, he went to sleep really late.

To be honest, for the past few days, he was also suffering.

He would always wait for her to fall asleep, as if it's a way to punish himself.......

The rain falls loudly outside the window. Ever since Yun-He died, the rain has never stopped, as if it's mimicking her heart.

But that night, he's lying on the pillow, he can feel that her gently pressing herself against his back.

That moment, he feels that his breathing has stopped. Her body heat is gently passing onto his body.

"Just listen to me like this quietly......"

".......For the past few days, I'm sorry........."

Her voice speaks up.

"Son Oh Gong, although she became a demon, Jin Seon Mi's heart is not as strong and brave as you think........If you knew that she had such a horrible past and she's not as kind as you think. And her sanity was also been reaped by monsters......and her heart was once filled with darkness, would you ever doubt........that you have chosen the wrong person?"
