A lot of times we don't get what we want.
We wait, but that dream never comes true.
We may have in mind that this is not possible.
Still we wait.
Why?
Because behind the wait, these little hopes help us survive.
A small hope in the corner of the mind, keeps us alive all the time.
But the reality is that not all hopes and expectations are true.
Some hopes and expectations remain unfulfilled.
Byul,
Many years later I am trying to contact you. I hope you are well. But I'm not well.
I have just come home from the doctor and writing you a letter. The doctor said my brain tumor turned into cancer, I might forget everything before I die. He told me, I have about a month left.
I want to tell you something, I don't know how you will react. I've never been married, I've only loved you in my life. Miso is our child. I lied to you that day. His father is not a captain, it's you. You never accepted my love, so I thought you wouldn't accept our child either. But when Miso was six months old, I wanted to tell you. But you said in an interview that day, the one you love is married now. So I never called you again. But the last time I met you, I realized that your love was for me but it was too late for me to understand.
I want to make a wish to you out of that love. Miso! He is only 14 now. He grew up with me from a young age, you weren't there for him. He misses you so much, he's in so much pain. But now his pain will increase. Because now I'll not be with him.I'm very worried about him, what will happen to him? How will he stay? Victor and Jessi are there, I know they take good care of him but no one else can fill the place of parents. If you came and met him once, I would die in peace. Otherwise my soul would not be able to live in peace, because while I was alive, my son could not meet his father.
And I want to see you once before I die. Will you come? Will you fulfill my wish?
I beg you. Please, come for once. I'll wait.
Enna.
"Your wait never ended! You just waited for everything. And I! I never went to you. Please forgive me, Enna." "I'll never forgive myself."
After 7 years
Byul was sitting in his studio looking at the old picture of Enna, who was about 23 years old. He is now about 61 years old. But his love for her is still the same as before.
"If you were alive you might still be so beautiful. I miss you in every moment of my life. I love you so much. I talk to Miso sometimes, he calls me Dad, I like hear it from him . Don't worry, he's fine. Victor and Jessi didn't take any children of their own to raise him. Miso loves them very much. They live with Miso. Miso married one of his friends because she's as good as you. They have a daughter, he calls me Grandpa, I think my life has been successful. I talk to her sometimes. Do you know what's her name? Kim Enna. They named her after you. You've gotten a lot better in life, not just me. I promise, I'll be better. I love you." Byul's eyes filled with tears. He embraced Enna's picture and fell asleep.
19 years old Enna sitting in the park. She is glowing. Her smile, eyes all are looking so beautiful. She suddenly looked behind and was surprised. "Byul?" She got up and ran, stopped at one point. "You are finally here? Don't you think you've made me wait too long?" A drop of tear fell from her eyes. "I'm sorry, Enna. Will you forgive me?" Byul embraced her tightly. "I forgave you long ago."
"Enna!" "Yes?" Aiden pressed a kiss on her temple. "I love you so much, Enna." Enna broke down in tears. "I love you too. I love you so much, Byul." The warmth of spring was blowing in the wind. "Enna raised her hand and showed Byul, "See, the sunset is coming." They enjoyed the sunset together.
Enna looked at Byul.
"My wait is over. See, the spring is here."
~footsteps~Miso came with two red Roses in his hand . He placed a rose on his mother's grave and a rose in the grave next to her. Where it was written, Byul Kim.
"Finally you both are together. Your love was so pure mamma. Eventually you both are able to be together. I missed you, Dad. I miss you, mamma. I love you so much. I hope you two are well. But you promise me, in the next life you will be my parents and we will be very happy together." Miso was wearing Enna's necklace. He hold the necklace and broke down in tears. He put his head on Enna's grave.
"Come back, mamma. I miss you so much. I need you both. Dad, come back. I love you."
After an unbearable winter, spring came. But he was too late to come. The cherry blossomed on the tree. The flowers were falling on their graves. Although spring was late, it was proving that it had arrived.
