It’s the day of the wedding… I don’t know but Tabi seemed to be acting strange since yesterday… he was not as sweet as like the other day… but that made oppa happy… he even told me that he’ll take care of everything… As I saw myself in front of the mirror… it’s my first time to look this elegant… if only Jiyong’s the one who could see me like this… if only he’s the one who’ll be waiting for me at the end of the aisle…
“You look beautiful...Don’t frown… this is your day so be happy…” Mom said… Yes I look beautiful, but I couldn’t make myself happy about it… especially that I’m not marrying the man I love…
I haven’t seen oppa since this morning… I don’t know where he is… I feel nervous for what he’s planning to do… is he going to abandon me… and just let me marry Tabi…?
[Seunghyun’s POV]
Since yesterday… I’ve been thinking a lot of things… I couldn’t make myself to look and hug her after I knew that she loves her cousin… it’s wrong but I couldn’t make myself to tell her… and now that it’s our wedding day, I’m having second thoughts if I still have to continue this… I love her… so much that it really pains me to know that maybe she never love me back… but I don’t know what to do now… I’m confused…
“Seunghyun-ah…” someone called me… I’m at one of the church’s room getting myself ready… I turned back to see Jiyong
“What are you doing here…?” I can’t help but to sound mad then he began to kneel in front of me which surprised me.
“Wha… what are you doing…?” I said as tried to pull him up but he won’t budge
“Seunghyun… I love her… I love Dara and she loves me too… I’ve loved her since we’re still kids… I feel lost without her… when she left me, I almost died… please… I know that it’s wrong to love her but she’s my life… I won’t live without her… please don’t take her away from me… I lost her once and I don’t want to lose her forever… please Seunghyun-ah…” he said as he cried… he almost soaked my shoes with his tears… I can’t help but feel in pain too… pain that they’re both suffering because of a forbidden love and pain because I realized that Dara never loved me….
I bowed down to reach for him….
“I already know about you two…” I said… then he looked up to me
“I overheard you two a night before…. I ignored that Dara still love someone else because maybe I’ve been blinded by my love for her… maybe it’s really natural to people to feel selfish for once… I’ve been wanting her happiness since the beginning… and maybe if she will be tied with me, I’ll fail to give her that…” I tapped his shoulder and pull him up
“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… We’ve been through a lot before and I couldn’t just let her go like this…” he said…
“I know…” is all I could say… even though I felt my heart broke… If only I got to meet her first…I gathered all the strength I have left and told him that I’ll cancel the wedding...
I went to where Dara is and saw her sitting in front of the mirror… she looks more beautiful and I can’t believe that I almost got her in my arms… but it’s not the time for me to be selfish… she’s suffering more than I am right now…
“Dara…” I called to her… she stood up then faced me
“Tabi… what are you doing here…” she said but I didn’t answer her, instead I approached her and hugged her tight… I just want to feel her one last time before I let go…
“Dara-ah… I’m sorry if I added up to your sufferings… But I’m now letting you go….” I said as I felt a drop of tear escaped my eye…
“Tabi… I… I can’t understand you…” she said… I released her from the hug and hold her shoulders to face her
“I’m calling the wedding off… I can’t marry someone who loves someone else…” I tried to force a smile
“How…did…” she’s about to say something but I didn’t let her finish
“I just knew… now go… he’s waiting for you outside the church…” I said as I led her to the door.
“But what about the wedding…?” she asked
“Aisshh… Dara… I’ll take care of it… don’t worry…” I smiled… I opened the door but before she went out she came back to me and hugged me tight…
“Thank you Tabi-ah… I’ll never forget you…” she said as she kissed me on the cheeks… I could still feel myself flutter because of her kiss… I shrugged the thoughts off then led her outside… I let her go alone for I still need to take care of the wedding….
‘Farewell my love…’
[Dara’s POV]
I ran outside the church and looked for oppa… I saw him leaning on his car waiting…
“Oppa…!” I yelled… I was about to run to him but then someone pulled me by the wrist and stopped me…
“Mom…”
“Dara… are you crazy…! Get back there and you still have a wedding to attend to…! She said pulling me back… oppa ran to us and held mom’s hand over my wrist.
“Aunt… please let go of her…” he said… mom let go of me than approached oppa and slapped him hard… I went to them before mom could slap him more.
“Stop it mom…! Tabi’s the one who’ll call the wedding off…!” I said as I walked up to the side of oppa.
“It’s because of you isn’t it…! You really have guts to come here and ruin everything…!” she yelled… I saw two men wearing black clothes running towards us.
“I already knew this will happen… get her and bring her back in the church… I won’t allow this stupidity of yours to ruin everything…” she said to the men as they began to walk towards me but oppa stood in front of me.
“Run inside the car Dara…!” he said… I didn’t think twice and did what he say… before the men could get me, oppa beat them down… mom tried to follow me but oppa quickly ran inside the car and started the engine... I heard mom ordered the two men to chase us…
Everything’s so fast… I feel so scared… I don’t want to be apart with oppa again… We were driving fast that I clutched to my seat tight… the men are still chasing us while I could see oppa’s clenching his jaw… I held his arm and he looked at me.
“Don’t worry… I’ll protect you…” he said
The chasing continued until we reached a turning point… we were driving so fast and the next thing I knew is I heard a loud sound of horns… I glanced at oppa’s side and saw a truck coming on our way….
“Oppa…!” I screamed… I know it’ll be too late… oppa glanced to his side then he let go of the steering wheel then covered me with his body.
I heard screeching of tires and loud banging of metals… I closed my eyes as I felt our car turned over and hit some things before it landed on the ground…
[Jiyong’s POV]
‘I can’t die now… she still needs me…’
I tried to open my eyes with all the strength I have… I can’t see clearly because blood’s blocking my vision… I felt my whole body’s in pain and I couldn’t lift a finger because I feel so tired… the car went upside down as my body caught in between the crushed chair… I immediately looked at Dara and saw her bathing on her own blood… her eyes were closed as her face was full of wounds, even our seatbelts didn’t save us… I could hear something exploded from outside… and saw fires outside…
I lifted my hand with all my strength and reach for her face…
“Dara…” I said weakly… she needs to get out of the car before it explodes
“Dara wake up…” I tried again but she won’t wake.
“Please Dara… wake up….” Then I saw her eyes slowly opening up
“O…oppa….” She said as she chase breathe deeply
“Dara… you need to get out of the car now…” I said… it’s not the time for me to be weak… I need to protect her…
“Oppa… I’m so tired…” she said as her eyes were half opened
“No… don’t close your eyes Dara… you have to get out now… please…” I said… I saw the fire’s slowly coming towards us…
“How about you…?” she asked… it’s impossible for me to get out because I’m stuck…
“I… I can’t… now go…” I said as I forced out a smile
“No… I can’t go without you…” she said as she tried to reach my face but failed
“No Dara… listen to me and you need to get out…” before I could finish she interrupted me
“Oppa… we promised each other not to let go….” She said as she tried to reach me again… she grabbed my hands and held it tight
“I’ll never let go of you again Jiyong-ah….” She said… tears washed out the blood in my eyes… I tightened the hold of our hands…
“I’ll never let go Dara… Saranghae…” I said… we both smiled weakly and closed our eyes… maybe this is what God planned for us… if life wouldn’t give our love a chance, maybe death will… I could smell the burning fuel and until now I wish that she won’t suffer this slow death… I failed to protect her but I am happy that at least I spent the few remaining hours of my life with the woman I love the most….
