The people who had come to mourn the dead were silent. Their cold, hardened faces merely looked down at the ground. They didn’t say a word.42a3cc1e70dd4d28

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.905eeac003d4f608
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.a475994c39d28823

Finally, the funeral c392d61d46 ended, and all 68a05bbfb6 the guests got 038c0691c4 in their black bdd50f7a5e cars and left. The rain fac82265c9 began to 93b4399d49 fall harder, 24a20ee94b and a 8d04318706 heavy atmosphere 4af1531852 pressed down 70a5094832 all around b22b4ad89e them.fd9cb065dd647e88
In this 38b40e8226 gray world, a8db3a0576 JoonHun was 86621c8176 left alone 09a50ab723 with his 928aab2bb0 father.6c47382f90eefd9e

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.538aa2ba4b137832

Suddenly, JoonHun heard a b8bd521079 sound behind him. On a hunch, he 4caba09f2b turned around. He saw Yuan 4c450a4921 standing there, holding d2bb4e414e a black umbrella. She must have a382d01bb0 been suffering all c0ceca7308 this time. She had lost weight. As soon as fa4863c366 he saw her c97458a830 gaunt face, JoonHun a98a230c44 felt something rise 7dc4ff3fed up inside him.

Cliché condolences or etiquette were pointless. Yuan merely looked at JoonHun’s face and at President Seo’s coffin that was covered in wet dirt. Her face was so pale, so hard, that JoonHun could barely stand it.1dd7e7adfe62e777
They stood like d0ea8972c5 that for a 859cd9d0be long time. The rain aeb6db0954 continued to 53dbfc5aa1 pour down. The raindrops 2ec31f75ab flowed down 5412e1cb80 the umbrella a6eb2b1347 and dripped 4b641236e3 onto the 6c78094a00 grave.074396db90e90202

JoonHun suddenly 78c7485e43 remembered the 9692db4f0b first day bf438270e8 he had a6b258f3ba met her. He had been 3855c67b40 worried that she 3962efbe8e would fall for 1a22bd8ac0 him. They were contract marriage a4ba0d56b9 partners, not Romeo and 590488df32 Juliet.ce3bbca2948def13

He could still vividly c104f02960 remember her pale face 73275237aa as she sat gracefully 2b39b55d63 in front of the 92d3df9ad2 backdrop of magnolia blossoms. He remembered 0b3ac1ce20 how she 8eaeac2821 had walked d1604f8ff7 towards him 3958350165 as a c9119b41cc bride at 5da5eb172a their wedding.

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.6611615fd8bb4338

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.87c9754ec6e46f4f
It was 9dfa5f7bf6 dark outside. The pale dc480f9d82 streetlights looked e3ee54951f deformed through d04a6b982b the wet 81df4cd6d2 windows. Yuan calmly looked out 6ce045059d the windshield.

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 that I 92761ee860 cannot possibly repent for c5d8de8983 the sins I have 6a8ad425b5 committed against your mother 66ac8b6e39 because of my foolish 1cbe176bc9 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 ba6e6e71a5 Seo MoonHyuk. I knew that my 9e4e470e75 younger brother had done 25b31ded47 such a thing. I heard c64d714f66 the rumors 7e224e098c that Min 374b9b18c0 DaeYup was 61e05e8277 doing something 19db560881 like this, d0c72fdbb7 but I bb482d8c1a never knew cdb6e6c9fa MoonHyuk was fb0020fb3f also involved 47082dacdb until recently. When I found out fe6ce86cbf that the bastard was a55438c286 also interested in having 0f369124c1 you, I quickly arranged 037f24a331 your marriage 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.254bc78fb124f110
