Chapter 20
My Christmas Eve Love StoryBomi rushes to the light at the end of the tunnel. When he reaches the place, he sees the street is empty now. Bomi turns to look at the clock at the city square.
“It’s 11 now” He thought
“1 hour left before I meet Chorong again.” He mumbles and rushes to the tree.
On his way, Bomi sees the familiar figure walking in front of him. She uses her staff to find a way to walk through the snowy street.
“Chorong-ah” Bomi stops realizing that person is Chorong
He only met her at the Christmas tree. He never knows how she gets there all by herself. Bomi follows after her to the Christmas tree. Suddenly Chorong trips and falls on the ground because of the snow
“Chorong!” Bomi rushes to help her, but he can't
After all this is the past, he can't do anything. Bomi stands there looking at Chorong. He sees her looking down and didn't move
“Chorong-ah” He thought and comes in front of her
His heart tightens seeing Chorong’s tear drops down on the snowy road.
“You are useless, Chorong. You can't even see anything. How, how can you get there to meet him?” Chorong said in shaky tone
“Bom-ah, I miss you so much” She looks up to the sky and whispers
“Chorong-ah” Bomi calls her in tear
He wants to hugs her in his arms tightly, seeing her in pain like this hurt him a lot.
“You are useless, Bomi. You can't do anything for the girl you love. You always say you love her. Yet in the past, you didn't notice her sickness. Now you always focus on work and left her all alone. Still, she is always waiting for you. Bomi, how can you say you love her?” He slaps his face angrily and said in tear
Then he hears Chorong’s determined voice
“Get up, Chorong. You have to come there. You have to come there no matter what”
Then she slowly stands up using her staff to support her. Bomi stands there looking at Chorong. He wants to give her his arms and support, but he can't
“Chorong-ah, I will definitely bring you back to life. I will definitely do that my love” Bomi said seriously while raising his hand to touch the necklace.
While following Chorong, he sees an older woman walking toward her
“Young girl, what are you doing here?” The old woman asks her
“I want to go to the Christmas tree in City Square” Chorong said
“I see” the old woman said
“Uhm, can you show me the way there? I...I can pay you for that” She calls the woman and asks in hopeful tone
“Of course, I will show you the way, and you don’t have to pay me. I just want to know why you wanted to go there all alone in this condition” The old woman asks
“I want to meet my lover. I want to know if he finally moves on. I really hope I can see him there, but part of it I want him to move on. I made him wait for me 7 years. It is so unfair for him, right?” Chorong said
“Then why did you come there? If you want him to move on?” The old woman asks
“Because I still hope I can hear his voice again. I still hope I can meet him. I want to know how his life is all these years.” Chorong said while tear rolling on her cheeks
“I see. Let's go, I will take you there” The old woman said
Bomi smiles happily when seeing the old woman help her. Suddenly he notices that the old woman smiles at him.
“No, it can’t be. I’m only a soul now. How can she see me” He shakes his head and thought
The old woman leads Chorong to the Christmas tree and said
“Just go straight and you will reach the tree”
“Thank you” Chorong bows and said in happy tone
After saying goodbye to the old lady, Bomi sees Chorong quickly walks toward the tree and bumps into Bomi.
At that time, Bomi sees a white bird with yellow fur on top of its head flies toward him and lands on his shoulder
“Chorong’s third soul” He thought happily while looking at the bird
Yet Bomi feels something weird. The shadow didn't appear
“Why?” He thought
Suddenly he hears the old man voice
“Quickly come to the last place if you want to save your wife. You only have 3 hours left”
“Right, I don't have time to think of other stuff” Bomi thought
3 hours
Then he quickly rushes back to the time tunnel. He rushes through and shouts
“Seoul Square, Christmas present”
He runs toward the light, but he can't reach it.
“What's wrong?” Bomi thought
Then suddenly around him turns dark. He is slowing down and slowing down until all he sees is darkness
“Chorong” is the last thing he calls
~In a big Greenfield~
Bomi opens his eyes and shouts while sitting up
“Chorong-ah!”
He looks around and sees a very strange place
“Where am I?” He thought
All of sudden, someone hugs him from behind and said
“My husband is awake huh?”
Then a little kid rushes to hug his neck tightly
“Daddy”
