WARNING: Accident scene present in this chapter. Please read with caution. 

-

It’s been 1 week since that incident, and I haven’t talked to Johnny since. I’ve been staying at one of the hotels owned by my company and I had simply moved my essentials from the house to the hotel room but I had someone else do it for me. I know I’d eventually have to go back but for now, I’d like to keep my distance for as long as I can. He’d attempted to drop by my office, presumably to continue the fight but I simply turned him away; my refusal to meet him was still strong. I kept myself occupied with work as the snow fell harder around Seoul. This year’s snowfall in Seoul had been one of the country’s greatest in decades, the snow piling up along sidewalks and highways. All over the news, news of increased car accidents was present and daily reminders to drive safely were issued. To your surprise, and relief, Johnny stopped appearing on the news during the period of time you spent separated from him and you hope it meant good things, that he was slowly unlearning his bad ways. But you knew how hard it was for someone to change, and you told yourself to get your hopes up too high, else you would end up sorely disappointed.

Turning your thoughts away from Johnny and back towards your work, you began to work on the next pile of documents waiting to be signed until you were interrupted by a knock on your door.

“Come in.”

A familiar head of black hair popped in and Taeyong’s voice ran calmly through your silent big office.

“Lydia, your parents are here and they said they would be waiting for you downstairs.”

“Noted. Thanks Taeyong.”

He simply nodded and left as silently as he had come. Taeyong was a trusted secretary and dear friend of yours. When you first entered the company at 18 to learn the ropes from your father, Taeyong had also joined the company, working as a part time clerk during his high school summer break. Back then with his huge round rimmed glasses and mop of black hair that hung down his face, he looked like a coun

Chapter 31: I BINGED. Oh damn wow. This was really good, I can see why you're proud of it. You know how much I love slice of life and the message you're putting across in this could not be more true - our past wounds may heal over time but the scars never fade away. And sometimes we have to come to terms with that, even if it's a painful reality to accept. Really enjoyed this one, Del! Hit me in the feelz

Chapter 31: I absolutely love this story and this is definitely one of the most well written fanfic i have ever read. I do really like the plot twist and the ending. At first i do hope that they would end up together but i guess it just isnt right for lydia to live on with the fear and the doubt she felt. This fanfic really get me thinking about life and i hope you will continue writing such beautiful fanfics.

*ill continue here :))
At first, I didn't like the fact that she decided to leave him after the precious time they had in HK. But slowly a thought came to my mind saying it's not right as well for her to be in a relationship where she doesn't feel right. And partially, it's really not fair for him as well to be in a relationship where his love is doubted, when he's obviously giving his all to her. Its funny how my thoughts immediately went to reality, wondering if someone, somewhere out there living a life exactly like this, did they choose to leave like she did? Or stay and break herself more and his heart along the away? I'll never know. But if I was to be her, I'd do the exact same. Because if two souls are meant to be together, they will always find their way back to each other no matter what. If not, you just have to learn to let go. No matter how hard it gets. If not for the other person, do it for yourself. The void in your soul doesn't always has to be filled with someone else's presence. Sometimes the void can only be filled with your own self. Someone wise once said, you can only love someone else fully, if you learn to love yourself first. Thank you for sticking to your original storyline. If it wasn't for the fact that you went along with this ending, I would've sworn, I'd forget that our feelings- what feels right to the heart and soul- matters the most if happiness is what you seek for in this often mistaken world.

Hai author-nim.
First of all I want to applaud your awesome writing. The way you write your story was really different from the fanfics that are available these days. It almost felt like I was back in my teenage days where I was awake in the middle of the night in my bedroom reading fics that would make me feel like someone was gripping my heart so tight, almost breaking it to pieces. And i didn't mind it at all. These type of fics were always my fav. It's was really an eyeopener and to be honest, just what this tired soul of mine longs for. I'm really glad I found Smudge. I haven't read something that made me look back in life for quite awhile now. Your story made me think alot.
