Complex Simplicity

Description

Love is sweet even though sometimes it feels bitter.

Life is simple but you can't help it from being complicated.

Our hearts feel the bitterness and sweetness from time to time,
but then, here we are, still together.


When the complexity seeks us, should we deny the simplicity?



The last part of Sora's love tetralogy:

So Sweet, So Simple

Bitter Love, Complicated Life

Bittersweet Heart

Foreword

[Yoseob's POV]

"Another present from the fan?" Gikwang sits next to me, looking at the teddy bear I'm holding as he starts to tease me as usual. "I envy you, Yoseob, I really do."

"Yah, wait for your birthday. You will receive so much more that day," I laugh and stand up from the sofa, heading to my room to put the teddy bear on my bed.

It has been a week since my 24th birthday but some fans still send me birthday presents. I appreciate them, I really do. I'm glad my fans still support me even after these years; we just celebrated our 3rd year anniversary last October and we promised that we will be better than ever.

I check my phone but there is no new message. I'm waiting for a message from Sora. She has a meeting with our manager and President with Mina. I don't know what they are going to talk about but she promised to tell me as soon as possible. After all, we have a dinner date tonight.

It's almost a month since the night I proposed her. The night I put the engagement ring on her finger. She still wears it everyday proudly and it makes my heart to flutter whenever I see it.

Our engagement has yet to be announced to the public but I'm sure our fans have made their own assumptions due to the ring Sora always wears on her finger. You can say that she becomes quite more popular than before now, thanks to our relationship and her photography.

Ever since she returned back to Seoul, she concentrates with her photography only. Just like what she used to do when she started to work as our personal photographer. Sometimes she takes projects from clients but her focus is to work for our monthly photo book.

After everything we have been through, I'm sure our relationship is stronger than before. No matter what will happen in the future, I promise myself that I will protect Sora from everything. I will never break her heart again. I will cherish her with all my heart.

When I put down the teddy bear on my bed, I notice that there is a small note attached to the bow tie of the teddy bear. I take the note and read it, sitting on my bed. Looks like it's a fortune telling or something like that.

"January 5th.
Your life is going on with your expectations. Expect the unexpected. Before you are sure with the commitment from someone you trust, don't build the tower of confidence yet. Check everything. Preventing is better than cure."


I scoff. This note is ridiculous. I put it back on the bow tie. It's still a part of fan's present so I don't want just crumble it and throw it away.

But I can't help myself to be curious. It's not that I believe in horoscope or things like that, but I am curious. How could the note tell the things occur in my life nowadays?

My life is really good lately. BEAST is doing great and there is no bad news came across my life.

The commitment from someone I trust... Does it mean my engagement with Sora?

I shake my head quickly, shoving away the negative thoughts. I never believed in fortune telling and I'm not going to start believe in it now. It's a coincidence and I don't need to worry about it. Yes, I'm all good.

I try to distract my attention from the note and grab a random magazine on the table. I open the random page and my eyes widen when I read the title.

Obstacles of Marriage

Aish. I'm not in the mood to read this kind of stuff. I flip to another page and sigh when I read the title.

Love Life: Expectations, Demands, and Control Issues

I close the magazine with frustration and look at the cover. It's a magazine for wedding couple. It's Sohyun's magazine and she left it when she visited us on New Year with her husband and her son. Sora told me to keep it until Sohyun visits us again.

What is happening?

Silly horoscope and now this creepy article of love relationship.

Yang Yoseob, you are not that foolish to believe in such a thing... right?


[Sora's POV]

I'm just done with the meeting with President of CUBE Entertainment. He asked me to meet him with Mina last night for an important matter regarding about my contract with BEAST as their personal photographer.

There is a slight change in my newest contract since it's going to end in February. Mina will be the one who is responsible for daily activities of BEAST while I am the one who will be responsible to take pictures during their performances.

I am offered to work as a personal photographer for another idol group. I refused it but the President asked me to consider it, thinking about it as a new experience to enhance my photography skill. I have been working for BEAST for more than one year and he's sure that I would like try something new.

Being a professional photographer, I must admit that I want to challenge myself to work with new clients. Not that I'm bored with BEAST but I need to improve my skills with various clients. After all I still can meet BEAST, right? It's not like I stop working with them completely.

"I'm going to inform you about which group you will be working for tonight," the President smiles at me. "I think you will talk to Yoseob after this, don't you?"

"Ah, yes," I answer calmly. Mina just left the room because she wants to go to the restroom. "I will tell BEAST about my decision."

"Don't you think Yoseob will disagree with this decision?" he asks casually, frowning with curiosity. "It  means you can't see each other like you two used to do. You know that, don't you?"

"I'm sure both of us are professionals when it comes to work," I reply, feeling uneasy all of a sudden. There is no way we're going to fight because of this simple thing, right? After all, it's my work and he has his own work.

"Glad to hear that," the President leans to the back of his chair. "I will be looking forward for your photographs as usual then, Sora. Have a nice day."

I bow to him and leave his office room. I keep convincing myself that there is nothing bad will happen between me and Yoseob. We have passed through many obstacles and we're still together till this moment.

My sister and Junghwa are the best example of happy couple. Junghwa is really understanding while my sister doesn't demand much from Junghwa, making them a really lovable couple. I look up at them as an ideal couple. I hope me and Yoseob can be like them.

I take out my phone to text a message to Yoseob, to tell him that I will be on my way back soon. But then my phone rings.

My sister calls me.

"Ne," I pick up the call with my usual monotone.

"Sora ah...," she sobs. Is she crying? "Where are you?"

"What happened?" I ignore her question. "Why are you crying?"

"I want to talk to you about it, Sora," she mutters between her cries. "I had a fight with Junghwa. I don't know what to do anymore."

My heart sinks immediately.

Just when I convinced myself that I would be a happy couple with Yoseob like her and Junghwa, now she told me that she is fighting with Junghwa?

What is going on?

I love the Yora couple :) but I couldn't help hating Sora a lot during the last two books of this tetralogy. Whenever she had a problem with Yoseob she'd always go off and latch herself on the next available man who loved her. I mean really? She doesn't show a very good name for other women.
