Go, My Brave

Peek Behind the Tainted cover

 

I always say that I'm fascinated by military thingies right? Well, now here's my product of my military-flavored musings, crossed with my failed sense of romance. This one is heavily inspired by my current addiction for playing Call of Duty 4 and listening continously to Medal of Honor soundtracks (though I haven't ever played it-_-). God, really, you should give a shot and try listening to MoH soundtracks! They're utterly beautiful...:")

Oh well, I shouldn't rambling too much. I hope you enjoy the oneshot!   

 

Go, My Brave

 

I slowly open my eyes, reluctantly let morning lights invade my vision. I squirm a little but my movement is restrained by a pair of arms encircle my waist. Wait, arms? Whose arms?

 

“Hngghh…” A head snuggles closer to my bare shoulder, pulling me tighter in a back hug. “Hyunnie…”  

 

What a fool of me. How could I forget my own husband? I turn around to face my beautiful soldier. Aigoo, even in sleep, she’s still gorgeous. “Yoong, wake up. It’s morning already.”

 

“Mmm, I’m too tired…” Yoona lazily opens her eyes, revealing glimmers of doe-like orbs of hers. ”I used all of my energy last night. That’s why you’re very loud last night, right?”

 

I blush madly at the memory of last night. And the fact I’m in her embrace with our body bare doesn’t help at all. Every of her touch from last night still lingers on my skin. Her soft skin collides to mine feels so heavenly, her touch and kisses are nothing but pure bliss. I know I’ve been married to Yoona for six months and this isn’t our first time, but it still give me the same shiver as our first time.

 

“Just admit it Hyunnie~” She grins too widely for my liking. “Or was last night too amazing for you to say anything?”

 

Yoona’s words successfully making my face blushes further. “Stop it, Yoong~!” I whine while playfully hit her shoulders.

 

“Ouch, Hyunnie it hurts!”

 

“Weakling~!”

 

Yoona frowns and I giggle, as I know how much she hates to be called weak. It hurts her pride as a soldier. But my moment of victory is short-lived, as she suddenly climbs on top on me and pins my hands down, right beside my head.

 

“Now, you still say I’m a weakling?” Yoona lowers her face, making her hot breath caresses me. “If you still think so, let me prove you’re wrong…” She dives in for a kiss, pressing her lips passionately against mine. I whimper as she glides her lips down my jawline to my neck, peppering it with soft kisses. My breath turn into moans as she starts my neck tenderly.

 

“Y-Yoong… ah…”

 

Growl~

 

Oh well, look who’s hungry here...

 

“Hyunnie, I’m hungry…” Yoona hangs her head low, but then she smirks at me. ”I think our last night’s ‘game’ really make me-hurgh!”

 

I hit her face with a pillow hard. “I know! Take a bath first! Or else, no breakfast for you!”

 

“Okay, General Seororo!” She playfully salutes me and get off from me and the bed. She lightly heads towards the bathroom… without bothering to wear any clothes.

 

I’m lost at the sight of her perfect uncovered body. Her skin has healthy milky hue, her lean but strong muscle encased her tall, slender figure. Under the morning light, she glows like a goddess of war, a beuty full of victorious glory aura surrounds her.

 

She catches me staring at her body and she wriggles her brows mischievously.

 

“Don’t you want to join me-hrrmh!”

 

I throw another pillow at her, squarely hitting her in the face.

 

-X-X

 

After finishing my shower, I head to the kitchen and find Yoona already in the dining table, eagerly waiting for her breakfast.

 

“Be patient Yoong, breakfast in on the way.” I kiss her temple and she pouts in response. ”Anyway, why don’t you check the mails?”

 

She cutely nods and rises to take the mails. Her trademark choding trait still hasn’t gone from her, but it’s one of things in her I love.

 

I decide to have American breakfast today. I put my apron and start coking some bacon when Yoona comes with many envelopes in her hand.

 

“Let’s see what we get today. Bills, bills, another bill…” Yoona shuffles through the mails, but she stops when she sees an envelope with army crest on it. She tears the envelope open and read the letter seriously. Her face hardened as she finishes reading it.

 

“What is it, Yoong?”

 

“Ah, it’s nothing…” She shakes her head softly. But I shoot her a glare and she sighs. ”Okay, but let’s talk about it later, okay? I don’t want to ruin our Sunday morning.”

 

I sigh and only nod. I know sometimes Yoona doesn’t like to talk about her army affairs. It seems like she doesn’t want me to worry about it, but what thing I should worry about military matters? Sometimes I have no idea how Yoona really thinks. I continue cooking the breakfast and I’m startled by a pair of arms snake around my waist.

 

“What are you cooking for breakfast?” She tucks her chin on my shoulder. I can feel her taking a whiff of the bacon I fry. ”Hmm, American breakfast? Tasty, but not as tasty as your-hmph!”

 

I stuff a loaf of bread before she can finish.

 

-X-X

 

After having our breakfast, Yoona and I spend the entire cuddling on the couch. I’m losing my mood to do anything, feeling her warmth beside me is more than enough at the moment. As my vision wanders at our wedding photo, I realize how lucky I am having such a wonderful soldier in my life.

 

In white wedding dress, I stood beside Yoona who proudly donned her army uniform. I just wanted a normal wedding, but Yoona insisted to hold our wedding in military ceremony. She said only commissioned officers who could held military ceremony wedding, and it was a symbol of her struggle to get my hand in marriage.

 

Even though Yoona and I have been together since high school, my parents didn’t agree me dating a soldier, let alone a cadet. So, after graduated from military academy as Second Lieutenant, Yoona fought her way to get compromising position in the army. I still remember how Yoona turned up in my house, all well groomed with her army uniform on. And she even knelt before my parents and begged for their blessing, which my parents reluctantly gave.  

 

However, I know my parents didn’t regret letting my hand taken by Yoona, as they smiled proudly beside me in our wedding, grateful that I’m in good hand. And my parents are indeed true, this warrior of my heart never gives me nothing but happiness.

 

However, I got some bad feelings about her. Is it because that letter from the army?

 

“So, what was the letter about? You seem so uneasy about it,” I ask breaking the comfortable silence between us.

 

Yoona shifts on the couch, uneasily fidgeting in her sit. Her relaxed face becomes tense. “Hyunnie…I’m assigned to lead a combat engineer team in a conflict-potential army post. I’ll be stationed to support frontline soldiers under a company of sappers.”

 

My eyes widen in horror. I’m too shocked to say anything. I’m well aware current military condition in Korea isn’t in very good state. I just don’t want anything bad happens to her.

 

Yoona seems understand what I think and quickly continues, “Hey, it’s not that bad! I’m a sapper, and not like infantryman, I’m not likely to engage directly in the battle. Maybe the worst thing is just cleaning the minefield! Or repairing broken stuffs in the middle of battle!”

 

“But it’s still dangerous!” I exclaim and hug her tightly. I can’t understand why she can take dangerous things like that easily? What if she…

 

I quickly push terrible thoughts that start invading my mind, but my eyes start tearing. Mindlessly I bury my face to her shoulder and cry. I can feel her long fingers raking my hair softly. Her affectionate gesture successfully lightens up my sobs.

 

“When will you leave?” I manage between my sobs.

 

“In Tuesday.”

 

“I see…”

 

“Don’t worry, it’s gonna be okay,” Yoona reassures me and gives me a loving kiss on my temple.

 

For a brief moment, my troubled heart is eased a bit. But only a bit.

 

-X-X

 

Time sure flies. It’s Tuesday already, the day Yoona will be going for her military duty. I can’t help feeling anxious. Yoona woke up earlier than me, which an unusual thing, already dressing herself in her camouflage suit. I was almost broke in tears, scared she will leave me, if she didn’t kiss me to calm me down.

 

She’s so strangely silent today. Whenever she catches me staring at her, she only gives me an apologetic smile.

 

I silently watch her tying her black combat boots when I hear the doorbell rings. “I’ll get it.”

 

I open the door and found a young woman in army camouflage uniform. Her sleeve badge showing army infantry division emblem.  The visitor flashes a familiar smile to me.

 

“Oh, hello, Yuri unnie.” I bow slightly at the tan soldier.

 

“Hyunnie, who’s there? Oh, hi Yul unnie.”  Yoona greets her fellow soldier.

 

“Morning Yoong, Seohyun.”

 

“You’re called for a duty too, unnie?” Yoona asks, while slinging her backpack to her shoulder.

 

“Yep, I’m assigned to the same post like you. By the way, I come here to fetch you because I think you might freak out for your first urgent call of duty.  So, are you ready?”

 

“Yeah, I’m ready and no, I won’t freak out!”

 

Yuri unnie only grins sheepishly while Yoona playfully glared at her.

 

Yoona gives me a sad smile. “So... I think should go then...” She embraces me and kisses me lovingly. Unconsciously I tangle my arms around her neck and deepen the kiss. I don’t know, my body just moves on its own, as if relishing the last kiss from Yoona.

 

No, I wish this is not our last kiss.

 

“Don’t make out in front of me! You guys make me cringe.” Yuri unnie interrupts us and faking a shudder.

 

I blush and Yoona only scoffs at her. “Like Jessica unnie and you didn’t do it…”

 

Yuri unnie sticks her tongue out in response. “Yo come on Yoong, time’s running out!”

 

Yoona gives me an unsure look and I reply it with a a peck in the lips. “Be safe Yoona,” I nod to the older soldier. ”and you too, Yuri unnie”

 

As I watch them leaving, my chest start to tighten. It’s alright, I reassure myself, Yoona can do this. She will come back to me soon after this ends. Yes, I’m sure she will.

 

Or am I?

 

-X-X

 

It’s been a week since Yoona’s departure for her duty. Every day I go through with growing uneasiness in me. And truthfully, boredom starts to appear, as my house become awfully silent without the cheekiness of my choding deer.

 

It’s just another silent evening with nothing to do, when the doorbell rings. Oh, a visitor! A company will be a very nice thing for now. I eagerly open the door and squeals at the sight of my guest.

 

“Jessica unnie!”

 

“No, Sica isn’t alone Seohyun.” A petite blonde figure emerges from Jessica unnie’s back.

 

“Sunny unnie!” I exclaim and hug them in joy. “Please come in unnies!”

 

I welcome them in and we settle at the couch. It’s a nice surprise to see my unnies after a long time.

 

“It’s been awhile Sunny unnie!” I smile at Sunny unnie. She moved to States a year ago and we become hardly seeing each other, but we’re still good friends.

 

“Yeah, it’s always nice seeing old friends, besides I bet Jessica is bored being home alone without her Kwon Seobang!”

 

“Yah! You’re the one who tag along Soonkyu!” Jessica unnie nonchalantly remarks, making Sunny unnie pouts at the mention of her real name

 

“By the way, where’s Tiffany unnie? She’s not coming with you?”

 

“Well, Tiffany is busy preparing her wedding with Taeyeon in States,” explains Sunny unnie.

 

I’m surprised by the news. “Taeyeon unnie has proposed to Tiffany unnie?”

 

“Yes, finally that dork proposed to Fany!”

 

“Hey! It’s not her fault! My cousin is a shy person to begin with!”

 

“Anyway, how do you feel after Yoona went for her duty?”asks Jessica unnie to me.

 

I purse my lips together and smiled thinly. “It’s hard at first, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it slowly.”

 

“You’ll get used to it for sure. I know what you feel Seo, it’s not Yuri’s first call of duty after all, so I’ve gone through that phase too. I just hope she isn’t stupid enough to get shot!”

 

We laugh at Jessica unnie’s joke. But I know, behind those laughters, there is a hint of anxiety in it. I understand it though, Yuri unnie is an infantryman and more like to be put in the frontline and the risk is way higher compared to a sapper like Yoona. Yet Jessica unnie can keep her calm and trust Yuri unie all this time. Perhaps... I just don’t put enough faith on Yoona?

 

Suddenly I feel nauseous. I try to hold on but the churning sensation in my stomach but it’s too much. I quickly go to the bathroom and throw up. My body feels very weak so sudden that I have to lean to the wall to support my body.

 

“Seohyun, are you alright?” Jessica unnie rubs my back to help me easing the pain.

 

“I-I’m fine unnie. I think I just ate something bad.”

 

“Seohyun! What happened to you?”

 

“It’s nothing Sunny unnie. My stomach isn’t in well condition lately.”

 

Sunny unnie looks unconvinced, but she only sighs. “Have you had your dinner?” she asks me and I shake my head weakly. ”Don’t worry. I’ll make the dinner for you. And Jessica, don’t you dare step into Seo’s kitchen and burn it down!”

 

“Hey, I’m not that horrible!” Jessica unnie protests, which making Sunny unnie and me giggle.

 

With help from Jessica unnie and Sunny unnie, we go to the kitchen. Sunny unnie cooks the meals and Jessica unnie helps with the utensils, while I just sit down, holding the pain in my abdomen. I’ve been feeling this since Yoona went for her duty and it got worse lately. Actually, what’s happened to me?

 

We enjoy the dinner and chat heartily. After we finish our meal, Jessica unnie and Sunny unnie have to go home. I thank them for the wonderful company, although it was short. I guess I have to spend the rest of the day alone again.

 

However, instead of feelig alone, I feel someone actually is with me. Or maybe, someone is inside me.   

 

-X-X

 

My cousin Hyoyeon unnie comes over to accompany me for sometime. I really miss my cheeky cousin and it’s great to have somebody helps me with my daily chores, especially when I’m strangely getting exhausted easily lately.

 

I’ve just finished cleaning the utensils when I suddenly become dizzy and feel nauseous. My consciousness slowly fade way and I can feel my body collapse. But before I hit the floor, Hyoyeon unnie swiftly catches me.

 

“Joohyun! Are you okay?” I nod but Hyoeyeon unnie frown disapprovingly. ”No, you’re not okay at all. Let’s go to the hospital.”

 

I meekly nod and follow her lead to the hospital.

 

We wait on the waiting room while Hyoyeon unnie occasionally glances at me warily. When I’m called in, Hyoyeon unnie offers to accompany me but I tell her I can do this on my own.  

 

I enter the room and welcomed by a midle-aged doctor. I tell him the unknown symptoms I’ve been feeling since Yoona’s departure for a call of duty. He nods and runs some small examination on me.

 

I pay my whole attention to the doctor, listening intently every word he says. In the end, everything I’ve heard renders me speechless. He also gives me some supplements for me to maintain my condition.

 

I exit the doctor’s room with a sigh. Hyoyeon unnie approachs me with a worried look. “How’s the result? What’s the doctor said?”

 

I tell Hyoyeon unnie what the doctor told me and she squeals and hugs me. “Congratulations, Joohyun-ah! Have you told Yoona about this?”

 

“Not yet. I’ll tell her as soon as she back to home.”

 

“You’d better do it! Aigoo, soon I’ll have a nephew or a niece! I feel so old so sudden…”

 

Hyoyeon unnie and I laugh at her remarks. I feel very happy yet so scared at the same time.

 

But why?

 

-X-X

 

Now I’m alone again in my house. Hyoyeon unnie has gone back to Incheon two weeks ago. I sigh, feeling the loneliness barge again inside the house and me. Actually, I’m not all alone; I’ve got a little one inside me, but I barely feel its presence.

 

Since I got nothing to do, I decide to re-read the letters Yoona sent to me. Her duty doesn’t allow her send mails too often, but she always writes to me whenever she can. I start from her letter on her birthday, which always make me chuckle reading it.

 

30 May 2013

 

Worst. Birthday. Ever! Forget presents or yummy birthday cake. What I got here were broken bridges and power plants to be repaired, while enemies are raging like mad dogs outside! Thank god no bullets fly near my head! What is more, the condition become more hostile that the soldiers and I couldn’t sleep and have to stay vigilant for next four days, I think. Ugh, so much for my birthday…

I want nothing for my birthday but only you! Hyunnie~ I miss you!:”(

 

One miserable birthday girl

Im Yoona

 

Aww, my poor deer. How I wish I were on her side on her birthday! And here’s come my favorite letter from her, dated on my birthday.

 

28 June 2013

 

Happy Birthday Seororo~!^^ I’m sorry we couldn’t celebrate your first birthday as a married couple. Maybe when this letter arrives in your hand, it’ll be days after your birthday. Wow, this is must be a magic of yours because today is very great! The condition was stable, no jobs for me so I could slack off the entire day!

For your present… how about I get you one of the rifles from the barracks when I’m home? You know, so you can be like Keroro, shooting rifle randomly all the time and conquer Pekopon*! Kekeke, just kidding!:P

 

Your choding Deer

Im Yoona

 

Her last line never fails to make me giggle. As much as I love Keroro, I won’t be a rifle-armed nuts who dreams to take over the Earth! Then I read her last letter she sent to me.

 

31 July 2013

 

I’m sorry I couldn’t send you mail often. The condition here become much worse and the commander decide to not allow soldiers to send mails often. To keep our concentration from distraction he said, but it makes me missing you more! And the condition here isn’t too bad actually! Just some broken power plants and damaged vehicles due enemies’ surprise attack. Well… okay that’s actually dangerous, I know…Oh, and there’s information that North Korea may launch another ballistic. That put us to high alert state and it means much less resting time...

Really, I just want to go home and hug you, but I think it couldn’t happen for now…:(

 

Your homesick and lovesick soldier

Im Yoona

 

I smile after reading the last letter she sent. It’s been about a month since the latest letter she sent, and I start feeling worried. But I try to be optimist. She said she wasn’t allowed to send letters too often right?

 

My trance is suddenly broken by the ringing doorbell. I open the door, but no one’s there. I shrug my shoulder and go back inside.

 

But before I even walk couple steps away, the doorbell rings again. I open the door again only to find empty air. Annoyed, I close the door rather hard.

 

But suddenly the doorbell rings again and it’s got my nerve already. I yank the door open and shout to whatever or whoever in there.

 

“Please stop playing-“

 

“Mrs. Im-Seo Joohyun, do you really shout at this special guest of yours?”

 

I’m frozen at the soothing familiar voice. I stand agape at the olive green uniform cladded guest before I envelop her in my embrace.

 

Yes, it’s her. My Yoona.

 

“I miss you too.” Yoona answers my unspoken words, my hair tenderly. God, how I miss this soft touch of her.

 

“Seobaby, I think we should come in now...” she starts to squirm as she becomes uncomfortable from standing and holding my weight, but I don’t care. Instead I bury myself deeper to her arms, unwilling to move.

 

I squeal when Yoona picks me up and carries me bridal style. “Yoongie! Please put me down!”

 

She snickers before putting me down carefully on the couch. I pout at her and cross my arms. She laughs at my antics and ruffles my hair. “Aww, don’t you miss this awesome husband of yours?”

 

My eyes soften and I lean on her shoulder. “It’s a nice surprise to see you.”

 

“Well, the condition there is going better and the commander decided to give the soldiers some rest. We’re given a break until the day after tomorrow.”

 

“Yoong… there’s something I have to tell you.””I…I’m pregnant…”

 

“Oh, well you’re preg-WHAT? YOU’RE PREGNANT?”

 

“Y-yes... for about three months…”

 

“Three months?” Her jaw drops lower and she facepalms herself when she mutters, “Aigoo… don’t tell me that it was because that night…”

 

My cheeks flush at the memory of our last intimate night together. Why she should remind me of that? But I have to admit, I really enjoyed that night.

 

Yoona seems enjoying looking at my reddened face. I clear my throat and say, “Anyway, I’m going to go for a check-up tomorrow. Will you come with me?”

 

She hugs me and pecks my cheek. “Of course.”

 

-X-X

 

I fidget slightly on the examination table while Yoona sits beside me. It’s not my first check-up, but with her it fels different, I feel happier and slightly more nervous.

 

“I’m sorry for the wait,” the doctor arrives and readies the machine.  “Shall we start now?”

 

I nod at him. He applies some gel on my abdomen and scans it with the ultrasound device. On the monochrome monitor, I can see a small figure with soft heartbeat. I feel my chest is filled by with happiness at the wondrous view.

 

“It’s our child,” Yoona whispers, brushing my hair tenderly. I can feel her lone tear of joy drips to my cheeks. She must be very happy and proud ti becme  a soon-to-be appa of our child.

 

“May I know it’s a boy or girl?” I ask the doctor.

 

“I’m sorry but the gender isn’t able to be determined yet.”

 

“That’s good,” Yoona grins. ”I want it to be a surprise when I come back from my military duty.”

 

“You’re in the army, aren’t you? Well, I hope good luck always with you.” The doctor smiles warmly.

 

The doctor finishes the examination and Yoona helps me getting down from the examination table. The doctor informs my baby and I are in good condition. He prescribes me some supplements and vitamins for me.

 

After taking the prescription on the pharmacy, we leave the hospital. Yoona can’t stop hugging me from behind, rubbing her hands affectiontely on my stomach.

 

“I can’t wait to meet our little one.”

 

“Me too, Yoong.”

 

-X-X

 

As much I hate it, everything good always has it end. This morning, Yoona has to come back to her post. I try to sleep again, drowning myself again to the dreamland, avoiding the reality. But I’m pulled back to the real world as Yoona wrap her arms around my waist, kissing my nape.  She rubs my abdomen tentatively against my nightgown, as if saying her morning greetings to our little one.

 

“Good morning Seobaby,” Yoona murmurs against my skin. “Good morning, my little one.”

 

I turn around to see beautiful doe eyes of my soulmate. Those sparkles in her eyes never fail to give me peace. I peck her lips and she giggles softly.

 

“Care to join me for a bath?”

 

“I’d love to.”

 

We slowly strip down our clothes and dipping ourselves to the lukewarm bath. She carefully bathes me, gently dousing me with the scented water. Fusion of water warmth and her velvet touch across my skin give me an ethereal bliss. I notice her hands are still soft yet becomes a bit more calloused, but I don’t mind. It’s the hands of a skillful patriot. The hands dedicated for our country.  

 

This time I don’t miss my chance to dress her in her uniform. As I button her shirt, I marvel the sight of my brave patriot in her might. I feel a pang of grief as she is ready to go, neatly dressed in her army suit.

 

As she opens the door, ready to leave, my chest tightens with sadness. We’ve just met again for a short time, yet she have to depart again. But we both know we have to go through this.

 

Yoona stares at me with a heavy heart. She put her hands on the back of her neck, pulling off a silvery accesories of her. “Here, please take this.” Yoona hands me her dog tag necklace.  

 

My eyes widen upon receiving her necklace and I look at him questioningly. She smiles and said, “Don’t worry, I still have another one.”

 

“Why… why do you give me this?” I whisper, tears b on my eyes. ”Yoona, please don’t tell me you won’t make it alive!”

 

“No, it’s not like that. I just… want to give it to our child a little remembrance of me,” She tries to explain, but it’s only making sob harder on her shoulder. ”Well, if I give it now, our child can brag ‘my appa gave this before a battle!’ right?”

 

I pull back, staring deeply at Yoona’s brownish doe-eyes. Clouds of emotions were filling her eyes. I know it’s hard for her too but she tries to stay strong. Why couldn’t I be strong like her?

 

“But… If things turn into the worst, promise me… You’ll keep living on.”

 

“I-I don’t know... If I can...”

 

“Be strong, Seohyun, I beg you…” She kisses my tears away and runs her fingers on m stomach. ”For me, for our child...”

 

My mouth suddenly becomes stiff, unable to utter any words. I do nothing but gripping her dog tag necklace tightly.

 

“Geez, I make this sounds like a cheesy romantic military drama movie…” She scratches her neck awkwardly. “So...I-mmmh”

 

I shut her with my lips. Gently I relish the warmth of Yoona’s lips with my trembling own. I break our kiss and run my finger accross her beautiful facial feature. “Yes, I know. Go, my brave soldier.”

 

Insecurities on her face fade away, replaced by a thin, warm smile. I give her a playful salute and she laughs softly and salute me back. She turn around and let her footsteps leading her farther from the door. She takes a last glance over her shoulder and I struggle to give her a goodbye smile.

 

Unconsciously, my tears start falling freely as I watch her walks away.

 

-X-X

 

I finish my glass of water and sigh. It’s the third glass of water I’ve drunken for these last minutes. I hold her dog tag necklace, which I always keep close to me.

 

After Yoona went back for her duty, I grow even more restless.  I always dream something bad about her and wake up with tears running down my face. Oh God, I pray to You, please keep her safe or me.

 

Th doorbell rings, sognaling a visitor is coming. I open the door and find a man in army suit, forlorn look etched on his face.

 

“Mrs. Im Joohyun?”

 

“Yes, I am. May I help you?”

 

“I’m here to inform you,” He pauses for a while, bitterly gulps down. “…that Second Lieutenant Im Yoona has deceased in action.”

 

I feel the time is stopped and my world shatters so sudden. My strength sapped out from my body, unable to upport my own weight. I should’ve collapsed if he didn’t catch me on time.

 

“Mrs. Im? Are you alright?” He asked woriedly, while holding my body by my shoulder. I weakly nod while trying to keep my legs steady.

 

“My deepest condolences to your spouse. Second Lieutenant Im was a brave and valuable comrade, and it’s a great loss for us to lose her.” He says, expressing his grief. I can sense sincerity in his voice.

 

“I’m sorry, I have to go. Good afternoon Mrs. Im.” With that, he bows and leaves.

 

I nod at him and close the door. My tears broke at instant. I lean to the door, still sobbing. My legs gradually lose their power and my body slowly slides down to the floor. I can’t believe that she’s gone. How I suppose to live without her? My life will be nothing but hollow...-

 

I wince at the sudden stinging pain on my stomach Throbbing sensation in my midsection knocks some sense back to my head. My sobs suddenly stops as I run my finger upon my stomach. For a moment I let my sorrow make me forget that I’m carrying Yoona’s child, the last thing she left for me.

 

How foolish I am, I can’t let my grief let our child and me die. Because if I did, I’ll fail Yoona’s last favor.

 

If Yoona was brave enough to face her last moment, I should be able to face my life, the thing that she’ll willingly sacifice herself for.

 

I’m sorry for letting my foolishness make my heart weak. Yoona, I promise I’ll be strong for you and for our child.

 

Goodbye, my Brave.

Chapter 10: :o ... Geez Draco, I don't even know what to say...
Why was Yoona being so mean?!?!? How could she hurt Seohyun, the wife she is supposed to love and treassure!?!? D: inconceivable!! T.T
Well, but at least Seohyun escaped with the good Yoona... in her fantasies at least...
But why did it have to be Yoonsic!? :(
Geez Draco, this comeback of yourswas too cruel on my Yoonhyun heart D: but oh well, I'm glad to have you back, writing Yoonhyun... sobsobsob

Chapter 10: Ok...

HOW DAREST YOU PUT YOONSIC IN TO REPLACE YOONHYUN! DEATH, DEATH I SAY!!!!!

Now on to the actual story lol...

Seohyun, poor Seobb :((( How can anyone not love Seohyun!? How can anyone not protect her!? Goddamnit Draco's story's Yoona, you're a douche!! DEATH TO ANYONE WHO DARES HURT SEOHYUN!!!!

Will pass on all comments on Jessica in this story >V<

I don't know if this is right... But what I'm getting is that Seohyun, as the writer, created/wrote a fantasy for herself where there is the real Yoona, the perfect Yoona for her. Sadly, reality is reality. BUT, she joins her real Yoona, who has actually died (I'm not sure when, probably sometime into the marriage, or maybe even before the marriage since I suspect whether or not Yoona was really quite the charming perfect woman she presented herself to be) with her own death. I dunno. Too many feels.

STAHP. WITH. THE. ANGST.
