Confusion and anxiety clawed at Iseul's mind as she watched Hyun, his once gentle demeanor replaced by aggression and a guarded silence. The boy who had saved her, the one who had shown her a glimmer of hope, now seemed to be slipping away, retreating into a fortress of his own making. Desperate to understand, Iseul mustered the courage to confront him, to peel back the layers of his mystery.
"Hyun, what's happening? Why won't you open up to me?" Iseul's voice trembled with both fear and longing, her eyes searching his face for a trace of the boy she had fallen in love with.
In response, Hyun's expression twisted with anger, his voice sharp and cutting. "Be grateful, Iseul. I saved your life, risked everything to do so. You should count yourself lucky."
Confusion turned to hurt, and hurt ignited a spark of anger within Iseul. "How did you risk your life, Hyun? What are you hiding from me?" she demanded, her voice shaking with a mixture of frustration and betrayal.
But Hyun's silence only fueled the flames of her anger. The tension between them hung heavy in the air, threatening to shatter the fragile bond they had forged. And then, in a moment that felt both heartbreaking and unexpected, Hyun pulled Iseul into a tight embrace, his face etched with a profound sadness.
Unable to process the conflicting emotions swirling within her, Iseul's anger dissolved into a torrent of tears. She clung to Hyun, her heart breaking as the realization of their impending separation sank in. With a heavy sigh, Hyun whispered, "Maybe we should part ways, Iseul. It's for the best."
And in that moment, they both agreed, their voices carrying the weight of sorrow and shattered dreams. Their love, once a beacon of hope, now seemed destined to fade into a distant memory. Iseul retreated to her room, the walls closing in around her as she mourned the loss of the one person who had brought light to her darkness
Days turned into nights, and nights into days, each passing moment a reminder of the void left by Hyun's absence. Iseul's tears became her constant companion as she navigated the world, her heart heavy with sorrow and confusion.
Three days later, Iseul found herself drawn once again to the very cliff that had almost claimed her life before. The memories of her time with Hyun consumed her thoughts, as did the question of what had gone wrong. Sitting at the edge, her mind reeling, Iseul questioned every decision she had made, every word left unsaid.
Lost in her own thoughts, Iseul's gaze shifted, catching a glimpse of movement at the corner of her eye. And there he was, Hyun, sitting beside her with an emotionless face. Their eyes met, the unspoken words echoing in the silent space between them.
Their hands, on the verge of touching, were suddenly severed by a dark, slicing blade. Panic gripped Iseul's heart as another knife plunged into Hyun's chest. Time seemed to freeze as her eyes widened in horror.
"Stay away from that foul creature, Iseul!" An angry voice echoed through the air, reaching her ears. Iseul's gaze darted toward the source, locking onto a tall man with white hair standing some distance away. His eyes blazed with a mixture of anger and determination.
Tears mingled with shock as Iseul realized that there was more to Hyun's secret than she could have ever imagined. In the chaos of the moment, as darkness threatened to claim her, she clung to the sliver of hope that had sustained her through her darkest days. She reached out, her hand trembling, wanting to touch Hyun, to assure herself that he was real.
But fate had other plans. The mysterious man, his identity still unknown, had intervened, severing their connection and leaving Iseul stranded in a whirlwind of confusion and fear. The night air carried the weight of her sobs as she wept for the loss of her love, the shattered pieces of their bond scattered around her.
'Why?Just why? could the world not see me happy and find purpose in my life? I guess i was supposed to die after all!" Iseul screamed inside her mind while having the sharpest and the hollowest feeling in her chest she ever had in her entire life as she saw the the man smiling at the lifeless body of her lover.
