Wearing a black suit, JoonHun looked pale. He stood at the very front and looked down. Behind him, Seo MoonHyuk looked anxious for some reason. The heavy monsoon rains drenched everyone’s expensive shoes, but nobody outwardly complained.6d081623066ca200
Time passed. JoonHun calmly performed his duties. No matter what storm was brewing inside, right now, he was HyunJin’s successor. The guests approached him and gave him the typical words of comfort, but he continued to solemnly listen attentively.7f0dc1f157682870

The dead didn’t speak. It was better that way. Suffering and chaos was a burden left for the living. Having dumped all of his responsibilities onto those left behind, his father had broken free of the chains that bound him and escaped.021c09811e90c292

Suddenly, JoonHun heard a 6615d6952f sound behind him. On a hunch, c14f1cdc57 he turned around. He saw Yuan standing cc0b139d0d there, holding a black 8a21c16758 umbrella. She must have been b30b99aa2a suffering all this time. She had 86847559dc lost weight. As soon as ea70178afa he saw her ec405e1d6c gaunt face, JoonHun d9222e2a0e felt something rise 822add7f8f up inside him.

They stood like 4f168483fe that for a 872e5fdc4b long time. The rain 2ec4f8e735 continued to b0d030faa0 pour down. The raindrops flowed down e9baf6b5df the umbrella and dripped a1ba5cfc4c onto the grave.6c3d887a5706966c

JoonHun suddenly a4d3e75d1c remembered the 1a84423b42 first day 52a5483d33 he had 7486456ef2 met her. He had been 2e35dfe64d worried that she 11645f2e38 would fall for 4f60bad200 him.

He could still vividly a94e92f0a8 remember her pale face f8fec31e8a as she sat gracefully 95f486786f in front of the 68ab153d6c backdrop of magnolia blossoms.

How she had a9dae5f0fa been sitting in 3b9967c30a front of the 15b9769839 wisteria flowers that acaf15eeda night as if a29c1c3152 she were an f04d04ed8e illusion.d182d67b102c175a

Seo JoonHun’s sin was that he was Seo JoonHun. Min Yuan’s sin was that she was Min Yuan. Their crime was being born as who they were. Yuan tightly closed her eyes. The raindrops kept flowing down her face along with her tears.45661281a17a955a

Yuan didn’t know how she got in the car. JoonHun had dragged her by the hand and got them both inside. The raindrops hit the roof of the car before trickling down the windows. Yuan heard the engine start. They began to race towards an unknown destination.1625372a5e06fbb9

Dear Yuan,
By the time you’re reading this, I’ll have already left this world. I don’t know what I can say to you. But please listen to my final words that are accompanied by my death.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything.
I know 4b13bca809 that I 15f06bc8e2 cannot possibly b0a4ea2fb4 repent for 220c8f56c2 the sins 3aff2d1ff4 I have 85e387d4a0 committed against d1225fd0f5 your mother 07e138677c because of 73f8e55a98 my foolish e9d2872c2f selfishness.
The sin of revealing your mother’s whereabouts to Min DaeYup, the sin of bringing all this misfortune upon you. For those sins, I will ask for your forgiveness through death.
But, Yuan. I never dirtied your mother. I swear to you, that wasn’t me. How could I have done such a disgusting thing to her?
It was ed2a575c89 Seo MoonHyuk. I knew that my d1afb97202 younger brother had done 98e5d5b2e2 such a thing. I heard the rumors 058f86df74 that Min DaeYup was d8ebf93a9f doing something like this, ad5915b97d but I never knew 8fdf39da0c MoonHyuk was also involved cb056f0112 until recently. When I found 2e4ab51717 out that the c67a90213f bastard was also 35e6e70242 interested in having 44b3dd3733 you, I quickly 9e536bffcc arranged your marriage c3d7bea533 to JoonHun.
Please believe me. It’s the truth. I know that this is a pathetic excuse. I understand that this is only the first of my sins. But I never dirtied your mother. How could I possibly carry that sin with me as I made you my daughter-in-law?
I sincerely ask for your forgiveness for not kicking out my younger brother for what he had done. I was punishing him, pushing him down step by step, but I don’t think I can hold on any longer. I will leave the rest to JoonHun.
This letter, this truth, and this misfortune… I plan on leaving it all to you as I leave this world. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I know that I will never be able to repay you even in death, but all I can say is that I’m so sorry.
Seo JaeHyuk.6a117e5529eb92c9

She was confused. She thought she had definitely seen Seo JaeHyuk… But it did happen 13 years ago, and she had only caught a glimpse through the closet door.
