Strangers

Cry Out With My Heart and Soul

My red convertible sped down the open road. To my left was ocean and to my right was prairie. The wind felt good in my hair as I on the bubble gum dum dum I'd gotten at the gas station, twirling it in my mouth as I drove. Suddenly, I found myself having to slam on the breaks. Some guy with black hair planted himself in front of my car from his spot on the side of the road.

"Gee thanks for stopping!! I really appreciate it!" The guy began to put his bag in the back and picked up a dog I hadn't noticed before.

"What the do you think you're doing?" Shocked, the guy looked up.

"W-well…you stopped…so I thought…"

"You caught me in the middle of a friggin bad mood."

"Oh…um… I'm sorry. I'll just…" He began to remove his bag from the back of my car and then sat again by the side of the road. His dog yapped and began his face, which made him smile. He was pretty handsome, after all.

I sighed. "Look. I'm sorry. Just get back in the car. No one's coming for miles and you'll probably end up staying here overnight."

"No, no. I don't want to interfere with your bad mood."

Rolling my eyes, I unbuckled my seatbelt and opened my door, then walked around the car and stood in front of him. "Get in the damn car."

"Not if you're in a bad mood."

I laughed slightly and put my hands on my hips. Could you believe this guy? "Fine then. Would you please get in the car so I could not feel bad later on when I'm in a better mood?"

The black-haired guy stared up at me. "I should say no, because you really are still in a bad mood, but you're right. You're probably the last person I'll see on this road, not that I saw anyone before. So then, I'll take you up on your offer. Here, could you hold Ewok for a second while I put my bag in your car?"

"Ewok?" I said taking the dog. "You mean like the thing from Star Wars?" He did look like an Ewok, after all…

"Yup. I adopted him from an animal rescue place a few years ago. I'm Yesung, by the way. And you are…?"

"Uh… Ryeowook. My friends call me Wookie."

"How funny! That's Ewok's nickname!" Ewok barked and my arm right at my elbow – a weak point of mine and a secret whilst in the midst of a tickle fight. I laughed as Yesung took him from me. "Hey. I got you to smile!"

"No you didn't! That was Wookie!" Yesung smiled from inside the car and I walked around to my side. I drove down the road in silence – mainly because Yesung was doing all the talking – until Yesung told me to stop the car.

Chapter 25: With all the roller-coaster emotions in the entire story the ending was pretty perfect. I liked it that Yewook just had a wonderful, relaxing day and could looking forward to a future together where they will be at each other's side, loving and supporting each other. They fought long and Wookie deserves a partner who treasures him with all he has to give. A beautiful ending. Thank you for sharing and keeping this story here for so long ❤️❤️

Chapter 24: I'm confused about Henry now. I mean I'm glad he's finally ready to let Wookie go, but if he wanted him to be happy why he didn't let him go way sooner? With all his psycho acts and maniac behavior, it comes to his mind that he only wants Wookie to be happy, now? This guy is insane. I'm happy Wookie is free for Yesung now, but I really wanted Henry to regret what he did to him and almost destroyed him. If Henry didn't get a proper punishment then he should give Ryeowook a proper apologize. Wookie deserves it. At least this nightmare will be over and we know Yeye will treat Ryeonggu way better than Henry ever did. Thank you for sharing this ❤️

Chapter 23: I was really hoping for Wookie to open up to Yesung about his true feelings himself. But obviously Yeye was fed up of waiting and thought now or never. But it's sad that Henry already destroyed Wookie self confidence that much, that he never imagined he himself could have a chance with Yesung and is the person of his heart. Wookie needs someone who will shower him with love and Yesung is just perfect for this. Thank you for writing ❤️

Chapter 22: Poor Wookie. Get well soon and then tell Yeye about all your feelings inside. This kind of horror ride must end so Wookie can live his life happy and with people around who will do good to him. Thanks again ❤️

Chapter 21: I can imagine that this is how Wookie must feel inside. Running out of battery. Totally exhausted and his entire world falling down. Hope he will feel better soon, and with Henry staying away from him. Thank you ❤️

Chapter 20: A pity Wookie gives up that easy. He should go out and fight for Yesung. It's sad he has so low self confidence, but I blame Henry for this. Anyway, thank you for this ❤️

Chapter 19: Oh Wookie, stop being a coward and open up to Yeye. Maybe you will get a nice surprise He never imagined why Yesung gave him his number? Or why Sungie was searching for him during the months? There is a reason, Wookie. You just need to listen. Thank you as always ❤️

Chapter 18: Henry is a psycho. Wookie should call the police and close the chapter of his past with him. Yesung is in so much ways on a different level than that jerk. Think wise Wookie. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Chapter 17: Great, Henry is going to ruin the mood again >_>
I was about to say what a lucky child Wookie is because getting his car fixed for free. But obviously he needs such good moments in life, because in a blink of an eye Henry is back to destroy everything. It's time for Wookie to cut the lines with him. Thank you again ❤️

Chapter 16: I can't understand why, Wookie is doing this to himself. This wasn't the first time Henry treated him like but he wanted to be back to this jerk just because he wanted to forget about Yesung. Worse forget Yesung so the older wouldn't get hurt anymore. Wookie definitely needs help to get away from this toxic person. And goddammit Henry needs to get punished for all his wrong doings in the past. Hope Wookie finally can realize that Yesung can be a, safe place, a safe home for him. Thank you for this longer chapter ❤️
