YE JOON'S POV
I was looking at the sky from the small window of my room. I was wondering about the words of Ayla and the fake press briefing. I don't know why but her worlds are roaming around my head. I looked at my legs, I tried to move them but I am unable to do that. What have you done to me Areum? Your love and everything, why suddenly they are feeling like a burden? Why suddenly your memories are hunting me, blaming me for everything? But what can I do? I just can't, just can't do anything. Not even back or today. Are we even meant to be? Or it's just me who is praying to find you again? Where are you Areum? Why did you leave me?
I looked down and tears made their way and suddenly I heard someone shouting from my next door. I moved my wheelchair and opened the door and looked at the door which was half-closed, and I saw Ayla was talking to someone on phone and her face was red. I know i shouldn't hear like this. But....
Ayla- I am saying one more time, please understand. I want you to treat him why can't you just give him just one hour of therapy?
is she talking about me?
Ayla- I don't know I don't even want to know why am I even asking you to treat him? I just want to help him, I want him to smile, I want him to be happy and shine like before.
Why is she so concerned about me? Is she in love with me or something?
Ayla- I just know one thing, something about him curious-me, his eyes seem like screaming for help, they are holding so much inside but he can't speak out. He is more like a man who neither wants to live nor wants to die. I know you can help me, please, I will pay you..
I heard her whole conversation and somehow that made me happy a bit, there is still someone who wants me to be myself.
Ayla- oka, if you don't want to, i don't need your help to treat him. I bet you, after 6 months world will listen to Kang Ye Joon once again but in the better version. And you know, how good I am in making half-dead, live the fullest. Maybe it was an accidental meeting, but I won't let him become an accident. 6 months, you will cry for not accepting my offer.
Woah, she is really confident about making me live my life fullest... Let's see. A chuckle left my mouth which caught her attention and her eyes widen and she throws her phone and runs toward me.
Ayla- were you hearing everything?
I just nodded and she closed her eyes and let out some rubbish which I don't really understand. She looked at me and was about to say something but I stopped her. Being honest after a very long time, with myself.
Ye Joon- Help me,
she looked at me confused
Ye Joon- help me to become the brightest star but for real, help me to forget my past and live my life for myself.
She smiled and bent down at my level.
Ayla- I will and that's my promise. I will help you Mr. half-dead weirdos. I don't know where my craziness will take me, but I know one thing, I won't regret investing in you.
I looked at her eyes, they were holding so many emotions, hope, happiness, and determination. Her eyes were the best thing about her, they were honest. And I will be honest. I am tired of living like this, I am tired of living on sleeping pills. Maybe it's time to shine once again but for real this time.
AREUM'S POV
I sighed and looked at Soojin who was making me feed some soup as I didn't eat anything for a long time.
Areum- Soojin- ahh, I am full
Soojin- you are not,
Areum- How do you know?
He looked at me put another spoon and I just ate
Soojin- I know you better than anyone else and you know that.
Areum- Why are you wasting your time on me?
Soojin- I don't know, i just have too much free time for you, you know.
I just looked at him and looked down in guilt. I know he has some feelings for me. He stayed with me at my breaking point, he helped me at my worst, he became a father figure for Yuna, a shoulder to lean on for me. Why this man is so selfless? I wonder why i can't accept him?
Soojin- areum ahh, don't look at me with those eyes.
He put the empty bowl of soup beside the bed and looked into my eyes.
Areum- w-what d-do you mean?
Soojin- I know you told me not to fall for you. But you can't just hold my feeling back.
Areum- I am sorry but Soojin ahh, I-i j-just can't accept your feelings for me. Please forget me and find someone better for you.
Soojin just smiled soft and cherished my left cheek with his thumb softly. I could feel my heart was beatings, He just looked at me lovingly.
Soojin- Areum ahh, I won't ask you to love me right here, right now. But don't stop me from loving you and Yuna, don't stop me from wanting you, don't stop me from falling for you.
Areum- what benefit do you get being so selfless?
I said while looking down and tears started to fall from my eyes.
Areum- I know the feeling of loving someone who doesn't love you. i got fed up in 3 years, how come you are feeling this for 8 years?
Soojin- I am in love with your soul, I am in love with your smile and I don't know but something inside me always tell me, one day you will be mine, Yuna will be my daughter for real and I will be able to show you, you deserve to be happy.
[8 years of winter, 8 years of coldness, 8 years of suffering, will they end this time? Will Ye Joon be able to be happy? Will Ayla be able to change him for good? Will Areum be able to find her happiness? Will Soojin be able to get his love of life? Will the final song of 4 seasons can be finished this time?]
