So, the big day came. Se Ri is going home and, the last thing she says to Jeong Hyeok is «I will get going» but... was it really what she meant? And after the goodbye kiss, what could have happened between Se Ri and Jeong Hyeok, until the arriving of the SK Patrol?

My thoughts about that. I really hope you enjoy it...

- I will get going...

Jeong Hyeok just stood there, watching her leave slowly, as if she was disappearing from his life, second by second... she was going away and there was nothing he could do to stop her. This was supposed to happen that way. She had to leave, not because of him, his men or his family but because she couldn't, she wouldn't survive there, even if he'd protect her day and night. Her personality, so lively, so quick to answer, leaving him speechless, she would eventually witter and die, like a flower. He knew she was fragile. He knew she had already tried to stop from suffering by suicide and he had been there, with his music. But, what if he couldn't help her on a second time? How would he live with the pain, the guilt and the sorrow?

No. she had to leave. She couldn't stay. She belonged to SK. The price to pay to watch her leave was hard but, still, he'd rather see her leave but stay alive than have her around and lose her, one day, to depression...

He watched her pass over the fence and his heart pounded... he could see, by the movement of her back she was crying, as he was crying too, deep in his soul, his heart and his mind...

She couldn't leave like that... he had to tell her one more time...

As if someone had pulled a trigger on him, he started to walk towards her and slowly pushed her by the arm, turning her to himself, to face him. She was crying, her face was the mask of an infinite pain...

- A single step... should be ok.

Oh, he just wanted to take that pain away... if only things had been different, if only there wasn't a border and, most of all, a political conflict between their countries...

He let go of his helmet, looked into her eyes and did what his heart told him to do. He grabbed her and kissed her, a kiss of life, with all his being and will... a kiss like he had never given her before, seasoned with sadness, love and saudade... He was about to willingly let go of the only person that could make him happy, the only woman able to complete him, so had to say goodbye in a way they would never forget that moment, where they were physically bonded, as one heart, as one soul...

Yoo Se Ri couldn't stop crying. «I will get going». That was all she had managed to say. Her strength was at the limit, she wanted so badly to throw herself in his arms and say she didn't want to go, she wanted to be there with him and the rest of the world, her family and even her «Seri's Choice» could just disappear... but she couldn't ask him that. Even the evening before, when they had realized they had met twice in Switzerland and that, in both times, he had saved her life without even knowing, when he told her she would go home the next day, she was disappointed by the fact she had to leave. Leaving... to go back home, back to her empire, all the comfort and luxury she had missed do much and once had believed to be essential to her happiness. Oh... she was so wrong... what happiness could that bring if the man she loved, she desired more than life itself, would remain there, with no chance to keep in touch or see again, in her whole life?

So, «I will get going» was all she could say, that moment. She didn't even make a move to touch him, hold him, grab his hand. Tthat was the end of it. The end of their incredible story... there. She would cross the fence and all would be past.

So, afraid to brust into tears, she gather all her strength and left, hoping for him to stop her, grab her, force her to stay, or come up with a miraculous solution for them to be together, after all. But she walked one, two, three, four steps and nothing happened. And her heart, aching with the fact she would never see him, suffering with his absence, already...
