Foreword

Fan fiction on Descendants of the Sun

It was 2 AM and it had only been a month, a month which felt like a year, days which felt like a season and nights which felt like forever. Before big boss left to field, their relationship was only a year old, but no span of time was long enough for both of them. Today Big Boss didn’t texted Beauty. She was lying in bed struggling to sleep since midnight but couldn’t find peace at all, she wondered why hasn’t he texted me?  What could go wrong? Is he okay? Is he trying to fool around? Am I over thinking? She was suffering through the pangs of separation, her pillow was almost wet with a cauldron of emotions she was going through when a beep came, this sound, she could tell is what she had been waiting for!

“Did I wake you up?” Little did he know he didn’t let her sleep. “What do you think? Your text is all I have from you. Promise me, you won’t sleep until I call it a night!” They both really missed each other and they had one thing in common, they were in love. Certain summers are indifferent to trials of budding love and pure romance, and without a shadow of doubt they gave an extraordinary portrayal of a girl and a boy truly in Love travelling down a tough road with full regard to their shortcomings yet indifferent to it. “You know, I will be back until the season change. We will go for a coffee when it will begin to snow.” She could now sleep. She wakes up with a new apprehension every day, wish for his safe day and healthy comeback. She promises to herself how she will not worry about him too much and that remind herself how brave he is to overcome any hurdle any trouble. “I ate sandwich for lunch today and I was reminded about the noodles you cooked for me and I thought to myself that now I am going to eat noodles again only when you’ll cook it for me.” It took him long 23 hours to reply, “That is a lot of pressure.” She grinned and thought to herself that this pressure works, this remaining one month was getting most difficult. On the other side big boss fought a new battle every day, sometimes it was the memories and sometimes the distance. He blamed himself every time Beauty got upset, he blamed himself if he was asking too much from her in this relationship, he, however, couldn’t let her go. 

Days were passing, season finally changed, it began to snow. She looked outside her window and didn’t want to believe the sight. Big Boss’ face came to her mind, the coffee was due. She hurried towards her phone, Why aren’t you here yet??? She knew it was a long wait to read back from him. You know you are losing him when the text hasn’t been read and you are desperately hooked to your phone, you look at things which remind you of him, you think hard upon the times spent together. Beauty was scared to death, she cannot come to terms with the reality that he is not coming back, she unlocks her phone for the last time before giving up to this harsh reality. So far her sadness had ecstasy, hope and transience but now it was turning into never-ending trauma, the messages never delivered. She spent days looking outside her window, looking at snowfall, eyes glared to the gate hoping that he will show up. Season once again changed but not really for beauty, she still could feel the ache in her stomach, she wanted to eat noodles, she wanted to visit cafe, she wanted him to come back. It had been two months and she was miserable but even now she somewhere in her hearts of hearts hopes that he will return. But he was gone, gone forever; all she had now was his memories and time spent together, the time which had more love than people would know in a lifetime. 

ONE YEAR LATER

She visited the same cafe where she once dumped Big Boss, it had been a year now and she came to this cafe whenever she was overflowing with his memories. Time passed, just like it does whether good or bad but what stayed was love. It was improbable romance, he was a soldier she was a doctor, he used to get wounded and she used to heal them. Not all love has to last forever she thought sitting in the cafe sipping her coffee and feeling his presence next to her soaking every minute, reminiscing about their date here. She smelled the aroma of the cafe and that marked the end of a running trail of thoughts and coffee too. She was prepared to take a long walk home so that she can be with herself and her thoughts for a little while, suddenly there comes a charming young man, “Would you mind if I join you?”. Beauty was startled; she didn’t know what to say. Turning towards him she looked at the familiar warm black eyes smiling down at her and for once she didn’t think of anything else and said a resounding “YES.”

“I am Lee Min Ho, I am new to the city and spending lot of time alone, thank you for letting me join you” he was clearly trying to make a small talk and Beauty could sense it and don't mind at all. They both talked for an hour about the city and cafes and places to visit, Lee Min Ho at last asked for her number so that he could contact her if he feels lost in the new city. Surprisingly enough she gave her number, which might have marked new beginnings or wanted to realise that this is a good beginning. She went back home and was feeling thankful for this day which was somewhat less depressed, she snuggled herself into the mountain of pillows trying hard not to think of Big Boss for tonight when a beep sound from her phone came. She closed her eyes willing to sleep only to open them again and see a elating “Hey” from Lee Min ho!
