The Dahlia

Longing

The drizzle falling beautifully in the city of Jeonju accompanies the lonely woman who is sitting with a languid face at a cafe. She just stirred the warm coffee which gradually cooled down. Her face was slightly thinner than before due to fatigue. Her empty eyes were thinking about something or someone. She only wore a black dress with barefaced. She seemed like did not give a shit what anyone thinks about her looks this time. Someone opened the door and sit opposite her. She looked up.

'How? did you find him? ' the woman asked, still stirring the cold coffee. The man sighed.

'Miss Ko Mun Yeong, He disappeared without a trace. my men still can't find him. '

She looked back at the coffee being stirred.

'Find him no matter what, you promised to help me. is the money lacking? I'll give you more so you can find him faster. '

'It's not about money, Miss Ko Mun Yeong. But he seems to bury himself deep so you can't find him. '

Ko Mun Yeong could feel a grip in her heart that seemed to break it and hope for the umpteenth time. She tried to be strong and tough, even then all of this because of her. A waiter came closer to their table.

'Sir, do you want to order something?'

He shook his head and suggested not to interfere with his conversation with Ko Mun Yeong, He looked back at Ko Mun Yeong's face. He looked closely at Ko Mun Yeong's face and physical form. Since he worked for Ko Mun Yeong's father, he knew quite well what Ko Mun Yeong is like. He tapped his finger on the table and couldn't bear to see Ko Mun Yeong's condition which was getting worse every day.

'Don't you really know where he's going, miss?' he asked.

Ko Mun Yeong was lost in thought. She recalled their good times together, She recalled how that man loved her sincerely, spoiled her with so much love but she was only playing with his feelings. She felt something hit her heart as she remembered how it hurt him after he found out the truth. His handsome face turned into disappointment. That face, that expression had been bothering Ko Mun Yeong ever since he left her.

'Miss Ko Mun Yeong? Ko Mun Yeong...'

He tried to call her back to reality and waved his hand. Ko Mun Yeong snapped out of her reverie, she adjusted her hair to make it look stronger and listened to the man in front of her. She smiled bitterly, picked up his cold-warm coffee, and drank a little.

'Sang in, I really don't know where he is. That's why I asked your help to find him. Really didn't you find him anywhere? any clue or anything? like please... oh god.'

Ko Mun Yeong said that in a tone that seemed desperate. She knew she was so stupid enough to play with the feelings of a man who was already silently present in her heart, filling her soul empty of affection, longing, and love. How stupid she was. It has been months, she has been trying to find him for months but he is like the wind that blows and leaves without a trace. 

She missed him very much. like so much. She doesn't know what to do, She tried the best she guessed but she still can't find him. She shed tears. She felt the pain. She's too late to love him. She wanted a second chance, she will atone for her sins by putting a lot of love for him but she thought with what she has done, it looked like even God is angry with her too.

Sang In sighed heavily, he couldn't see Ko Mun Yeong like this. He had considered Ko Mun Yeong like his own younger sister. 

'Don't cry, Ko Mun Yeong. I will try to trace her friends, can you give me the address of his late mother's florist? I want to see something.'
