Wheein didn't know what to feel...

She played all these scenarios in her head on their way here but not this; she didn't expect to face a...a cemetery.

It doesn't take a genius to know why they were there, in the middle of the night.

Wheein was waiting for Byul to lead her to her wife's grave but she just leaned on the bumper of her car.

"We're not going in?" Wheein inquires.

"Can we just..." she didn't know how to say she wasn't ready to bring another woman in front of Yong's grave. "...stay here for now?" Byul suggests.

And Wheein nods her head, because how could she possibly say no?

It's the softest voice she has ever heard.

She then walks beside Byul.

"I'm sorry." Wheein was inclined to say. She didn't know what for exactly, all she knew was that she felt sorry.

She's sorry for Byul, of course. Wheein could clearly see and feel how much she still loves her wife...and maybe that's why Wheein also feels sorry for herself.

It's painfully obvious how she can never compete with the memory of Byul's wife- not that she's compelled to do so, but still. Something about it made her heart feel heavy, and not in a jealous kind of way, but more like, she has her own issues and she doesn't know if she's ready to take Byul's baggage.

"I am too." Byul said after a while, hanging her head low. Her expression alone, spoke volumes of how much she meant it.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Wheein asked; not that Byul has an obligation to tell her that, but she would've understood her better. She wouldn't have felt petty for being so heartbroken that Byul bought her wife some flowers. But she knew better to not make it about her. She knows too well that it wasn't really about her.

"I couldn't." Byul replied, "It was just something that I couldn't put into words." she explained, her voice wavering at the end.

Wheein nods in understanding.

She wanted to just pull Byul into a warm hug, but something tells her that it would only make Byul feel awkward, so she restrains herself.

"You know...I never really asked you what her name is." Wheein states, testing if Byul was willing to tell her her name.

"Yongsun..." Byul utters, and Wheein couldn't help but feel jealous of how the name felt so safe in Byul's mouth, and how saying her name easily made Byul smile. She couldn't help but wonder if she can ever have that much of an effect on Byul someday.

But she shrugs the feeling off, because tonight isn't about her.

"Moon Yongsun." Wheein recites, guessing that they share the same family name. "Her full name resembles an eclipse." Wheein notes, her mind couldn't help but put Moon and her first name together to see if it fits. She smiles, thinking that it has a nice ring to it.

"Yeah." Byul smiles, reminiscing how Yong would always tell her how she wanted to have Byul's family name so they'd each have a first and last name connected with the sky. "We both have a thing with the sky." she remarks.

An awkward silence passed.

Wheein clears when she couldn't handle the silence anymore; sensing that Byul wouldn't take the initiative to speak any time sooner.

"Thank you." Wheein started.

"For what?" Byul asks with confusion evident on her face. She has not been exactly good to her. Byul acknowledges how badly she handled the situation, yet this girl in front of her is thanking her ever so sincerely.

"For bringing me here." Wheein answers as if its the most obvious thing in the world, "for making me feel like I'm important enough for you to bring me here." she elaborates.

Byul suddenly felt guilty for not being willing enough to formally introduce Wheein to Yongsun. She shakes her head at how silly that sounded

Chapter 23: Quite an emotional ending. The other week I was reading about how, infrequently, organ transplant recipients seem to take on traits of the donor, read through this with that idea in mind.

Chapter 23: When I found your story, I read it all in one night, till ch. 22, and I can hear the crash sound of my heart when its ended with, "...maybe this won't work". I thought really that was the finale like, "we will not getting all in our life", I hold on it.

But then, after awhile, I check my subscription page, and your story was on top. I remembered the title tho. And like a flashback, I remember all the plot. And I checked, just to make sure its really another chapter, the closure, not only an update from author, and, and I feel soo overwhelming now. I didn't know I am too invest with this story.

I'm not a writer I really don't know how I can write, more to my ramblings, this long. But author-nim, thank you. Thank you for all the emotions you manage to wake inside me. I really really love your writing. Not only the plot, but the emotions in your writing that you put. Ah I don't know what its call, but I really admire your writing style. So, thank you and keep going and have a nice day!

Chapter 23: Reading this chapter brought me a lot of emotions. It feels like I am at the edge of mountain while reading the next sentences. It catches reader's attention. At first I thought that Wheein is already dead but its not. From that point, my trust issues on you authornim heightens and made me overthink on what's next to come but kudos to you author for giving us a wonderful story and giving us heart attack. This story is so good. Congratulations, author for this well written fic. More to come pleaseeeee.

Chapter 22: My heart clenched just reading this story especially the time I read about Wheein's father and how the accident happened. Wheein and Moonbyul's feelings are valid. They both experienced different kind of pain from their lost loved one. I love the conflict but it hurts like hell. The father of Wheein is one of the reasons why Yongsun died. Fate had been terrible for the two. They were meant to meet but not meant to be together. They can't push aside each others struggle and pain. It will be a never ending conflict to the two of them if they will push through their relationship

Chapter 22: Aaaaahhhhhhhh MY HEART
Istg if wheebyul doesn’t end up together im gonna throw hands 😭😭😭 I love this story and truthfully like I get both sides. Neither side is wrong for feeling how they feel. The guilt that wheein has is so heavy like I get why she would be uncomfortable and want to break it off despite the fact that she loves her. This story hurts. Even if they part I feel like it will take forever for byul to recover from losing. Not only ONE (not by choice) lover but her SECOND.as well and walking away (their choice). Like how is she gonna find someone else. Like I won’t be surprised if she s traumatized because everyone she loved left her both willingly and unwillingly. Wheein too like ughhhhhh she also deserves so much happiness and peace. I hope that they just take a long long break, byul learns to forgive wheezing father and wheein learns to be okay and at peace with her fathers passing. I hope both heal and come back together. Authornim you can’t just let them part like that PLEASEDE
