The Final Chapter:
true love in heart never fade away
---
The world seemed to have shifted, as Chalee stood bewildered. Snow, once a beacon of mutual love, now looked at him with distant eyes. Her hands fell away from his grasp, and she turned to Miso, confusion painted across her face.
"Who is he? Do I know him?"
The words hit Chalee like a tidal wave, his heart momentarily ceasing its rhythmic dance. His world spun, and for a heartbeat, he felt as if the ground had been ripped from beneath his feet.
She spoke of him as if he were a stranger, her words piercing through his soul. Chalee's heart shattered with each syllable, collapsing under the weight of her oblivion.
Snow had lost their shared memories, the fragments of time spent as lovers evaporating like mist. She could not recall who Chalee was, nor the essence of their union. Yet, Chalee clung to hope, a lifeline in a turbulent sea.
Gently, he cupped her face, his eyes boring into hers with unwavering resolve.
"Snow, it's me, Chalee. Don't say such things. Please, come home with me, my love."
Snow wrestled with doubt, her silent contemplation a testament to her inner turmoil. Tears slipped from Chalee's eyes, flowing unbidden from the depths of his torn soul. He could not bear this estrangement, so he bridged the gap with a kiss, a desperate plea in physical form. Snow resisted at first but then succumbed, as fragments of familiarity flickered in her mind.
Their lips parted, and a single word escaped her—"Seonbae."
Unbeknownst to her, it was a fragment of her lost self.
Confusion clouded her mind, yet curiosity burned brighter.
"I don't know who you are, but I'll come with you. However, if my memories don't return in 24 hours, you must let me go."
Chalee nodded, a mixture of hope and apprehension swirling within him. When they arrived at their home, everything seemed like a déjà vu to Snow, yet the memories remained elusive, merely shadows on the edge of her consciousness.
As they entered, her gaze drifted to the photographs adorning the living room. Each image was a breadcrumb leading her back to their shared past. Step by step, memories surfaced, gaining clarity with each familiar sight. Her heart warmed, and her lost moments began to flood back.
Finally, she came upon their wedding photo, and a deluge of recollections overwhelmed her. Tears streamed down her face as she turned to find Chalee standing before her.
He pulled her into a tight embrace, his voice trembling with relief.
"I thought I lost you forever. How could you say you don't know me? I am your husband. Do you remember me now?"
Through her tears, she clung to him.
"Seonbae, I'm so sorry. It was my fault for trusting them and leaving with them. I suffered post-traumatic amnesia after the accident. When I woke up, I was in a hospital, and they took advantage of my condition."
Chalee's eyes softened, regret mingling with his love.
"I'm sorry too. I didn't understand what had happened to you."
They spent the night rekindling their bond, slowly piecing together the fragments of their torn lives.
As Snow's memories came rushing back, she smiled up at Chalee, her eyes shining with tears. He pulled her close, his face filled with joy, his heart overflowing with love.
"I thought I lost you,"
he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion, his eyes scanning her face as if to reassure himself that she was really back.
Snow's voice was barely audible,
"I'm back, Seonbae."
Chalee's heart skipped a beat as he leaned in, their lips meeting in a soft, sweet kiss. It was like the whole world had come to a standstill, leaving only the two of them, lost in their love. Time seemed to melt away, and all that mattered was the present moment, the feel of each other's lips, the warmth of each other's embrace.
They stood there for a long moment, savoring the taste of each other's lips, the warmth of each other's bodies. Chalee's hands cradled her face, his fingers tracing the curves of her cheeks, his thumbs brushing away her tears. Snow's arms wrapped around his waist, holding him close as if she'd never let him go again, her fingers tangling in his hair.
As they pulled back, Chalee's eyes locked onto hers, filled with adoration, his gaze burning with intensity.
"I promise, never again,"
he whispered, his voice filled with conviction, his words echoing deep within her soul. Snow's smile faltered for a moment, before she nodded, her eyes shining with tears, her heart overflowing with love.
Their lips met again, this time with a deeper passion, a hunger that had been building for so long. It was a kiss that spoke of missed moments, of lost time, of a love that had only grown stronger in the face of adversity. They kissed like they were drowning in each other, like they were breathing each other in, like they would never let each other go again.
As they broke apart, gasping for air, Chalee's eyes never left hers.
"I love you, Snow,"
he whispered, his voice filled with emotion, his heart beating only for her.
"I love you too, Seonbae," she replied,
her voice barely above a whisper, her heart beating in perfect harmony with his.
They stood there for a long moment, lost in each other's eyes, their hearts beating as one, their love shining brighter than ever before.
In the following days, life resumed its course. Chalee returned to his office, and Snow prepared for her final semester exams.
A week passed, and Snow felt an unfamiliar nausea. A pregnancy test confirmed their suspicions—she was expecting. The news brought them immense joy as they anticipated welcoming a new member into their family.
Together, hand in hand, they faced every challenge, their love a beacon guiding them through life's storms. And so, they lived happily, forever entwined, cherishing every moment.
