Traces
strawberry scentJiyong Drive his car until he reached the Han River…
He parked his car and started walking mindlessly. He sat down to the place where he was told that Dara jumped.
He touched the railing and thought of how tempting it was to jump, he wanted to feel what Dara felt when she jumped, he wanted to feel the pain that Dara felt while she was dying..But then he remembered what Bom told him. That he deserve to live a long miserable life.
“Jagiya, why did you have to do that? Did it hurt so much that you chose to end your life? Did I hurt you that much Jagiya? You should have just hurt me Jagiya, you should’ve hit me in the head until I understand what happen , I should’ve trusted you even without understanding, I’m sorry Dara”
I found myself crying again…
As the wind blow to my direction the fragrance of strawberry comes with it, the scent that’s been giving company these hardest days of my life…
“Mmmm…” I smelled the wind with eagerness
“Jagiya, you’re here, thank you Jagiya, even if it’s just your scent I know that you are here.”
“Jagiya tell me who’s that person that is trying to break us apart?”
Then Jiyong looked around he felt that someone is looking at him.. but He saw no one
He spends the night looking at the horizon…
Remembering the night that they fought…the night that he lost Dara forever
Flashback
Jiyong’s POV
I was waiting for Dara at our favorite restaurant when the waiter came
“Sir, someone asked me to hand you this.” The waiter said while giving me a enveloped letter
“Ok, thank you.” I told the waiter
My name was written on the envelope, I know its from Dara based from the handwriting…I was smiling while I open the letter, Dara always wanted to surprise me…I bet this is another surprise from her…
As I read the letter I was definitely surprised but not in a good way…
The letter reads….
Jiyong,
I know it might come as a shock to you,
but I want to end this Jiyong,
I want to be free from you, I found my happiness somewhere else
Please let me go…
Dara
How could Dara do this, we’re so happy together…Wasn’t I enough for her? Where did she found her happiness, I thought all along I was making her happy...is there a new guy?
I went out of the restaurant and I saw Dara running towards me…
As we’ve come face to face I notice her distressed expression, tears are falling down her cheeks… I don’t want to see her like this…If she found her happiness then I have to let her go, that’s how much I love her
I gathered all my strength to to say it to her…
“I’m letting you go Dara…” I said to her my head hanging low
“Is this what you want?” she answered anxiously
“No , this is not what I want!!! But this is what we have to do.” I’m shouting at her because I am now confused with her reaction
“Fine Jiyong, if this is how it’s supposed to be.” She answered
I was so angry at Dara I left her standing along in front of the restaurant.
I need time to think, her letter and her reaction doesn’t seem to fit.
I need time to think.
I found myself later inside a dirty old hostel; I know Dara won’t be able to find me here
As I lay down the bed my phone beeped alerting for a text message…
I took the phone, it’s from Dara…
“Jiyong,you know how much I love you, I’m sorry for what happen, but I think someone is trying to break us up.”
“Ahhh!!!! Dara you’re confusing me!!” I shouted out loud…
