Chapter 21
My Christmas Eve Love StoryBeing taken in surprised, as reflex, Bomi takes out her hand, then pushes the little kid out and moves away. He turns around and sees a strange woman looking at him with pouting face while hugging a little boy in her arms
“Who are you?” Bomi asks the strange woman in front of him
“What are you saying, Bomi? I'm your wife, and this is your son” The woman said
“My wife? My son?” Bomi asks in surprised
“No, my wife is Park Chorong, and we don’t have any children yet” Bomi shakes his head and said
“Who is she, Bomi? I guess you are still dreaming, right?” She said
“Dreaming?” Bomi thought
“Daddy, don’t you remember me? We just played moment ago here. Then you fell asleep” the little boy said
Bomi looks at the little boy in confusion
“Son, go out there and play. Mommy will talk to daddy.” The woman said
The little boy nods and run to another place to play
Then the woman walks to him. She leans her head on his chest and hugs him again. When Bomi is about to pushes her away, she hugs him tighter
“I forgive you this time for thinking about other girl because you just woken from your nap. Let me remind you. You are Yoon Bomi, my husband. We married 5 years ago, and we have a son together. The mansion over there is our house. There is no Park Chorong. Just you and me here with our son, love” The girl said
Her tone slowly turn from normal to seductive tone while her hand tracing Bomi’s shirt.
“She is my wife? That boy is my son? Everything is just a dream” Bomi thought
“You are my wife?” Bomi said in confused tone
“Yes, we also have our wedding picture and family picture” She said and raises the pictures in front of Bomi
“Everything is just a dream” Bomi said
“Yes, everything is just a dream. There is no one named Park Chorong. You only have me” The woman said while looking at Bomi seductively
“Didn’t you forget that you told me this is your dream, to live a peaceful life in a big field, right?” She continues
The image of Chorong in his head slowly disappeared. The woman's words keep echoing in his head.
“So, everything is just a dream” Bomi whispers while slowly raising his hand to hug her
“Yes, Bomi, you only love me” The woman said
Suddenly Chorong’s weak voice appears in his head
“I….I love...you… Bom-ah”
Bomi quickly pushes her away from him again. The woman looks at him and pouts
“I will be mad if you push me away again, Bomi. What is wrong with you today? You changed all of a sudden. You don't even recognize me and our son. Bomi pabo” She said and sobs
Seeing that Bomi quickly sits down and said
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Please don't cry”
“Why do I feel so confuse?” Bomi thought
The woman smiles at Bomi and said
“It's ok. I will forgive you if you give me a kiss”
Once again, Chorong’s weak voice flashes back in his head
“Bom... Bom-ah… I... want… y...your kiss”
Then he hears a sound of something dropping on the ground. Bomi looks down and sees the necklace. He quickly picks it up. On the locket, he sees two names Park Chorong and Yoon Bomi that are engraved on it
“Chorong-ah”
“Released her”
“Then die in front of me”
“Don't do that, Bom-ah”
“Bom-ah”
*bang*
“Chorong-ah”
All the memories flood back to him. He can still hear the cold sound of the gunshot that took away his love, his life. He is certain now. Everything is so clear to him now
Then Bomi stands up and said in cold tone
“Who are you? Why did you take me here?”
“What are you saying, Bomi? I'm you--”
“Shut up! You aren't my wife. My one and only one wife, the girl I love more than anything, she is my world and my happiness, her name is Park Chorong. I'm on my way to save her life. Get out of my way” Bomi shouts
“Also Chorong calls me Bom-ah not Bomi” He thought and smile
Then a sword appears in his hand.
“Chorong, I will save you no matter what” He shouts loudly and attacks the woman
When the sword is about to hit her, she smirks and disappears. The illusion is breaking in pieces. Bomi opens his eyes and realizes that he is still in the tunnel of time
“Good job, Yoon Bomi. You were able to escape that illusion.” The old man said
“What is that?” Bomi asks
“The grim reaper traps you in that with the illusion. If you fell on the trap and kissed that fake woman, your soul will be trapped in that place. You will die and your wife too” The old man said
“I see” Bomi said
“You should go and find her main soul now. You only have 2 hours left” The old man said
