- Episode 135 (Conclusion of the main story)
It was late winter, with spring just around the corner.
As usual, Jeong Hee-seo woke up before the sun rose, exercised, and started preparing to take care of her family.
I checked the cleanly sterilized baby bottles, boiled the water, and cooled it. As I was gathering clothes and diapers to change into for the baby, I also took out several gauze handkerchiefs nearby.
Finally, I soaked a towel in warm water and wiped Jian’s face, who was sleeping as if dead on the bed, and everything was ready for breakfast.
“Jian.”
He thought Jian was hearing his voice. He called my name countless times every day.
“… … Seo Ji-an.”
The look on his face whenever his name was called was mesmerizing.
Three months have passed since Jian suddenly fell asleep without warning or any sign. In the meantime, Pogeul was born, and the two spent the entire winter without Jian.
He didn’t think that Jian was wrong. As always, I just said good morning and took good care of him. Then he thought he would wake up suddenly like he usually did when he fell asleep.
The butler opened the door with a knock. A small yawning and whining sound from the butler’s arms called out to Jeong Hee-seo.
“There was a pout.”
“It’s a human alarm clock, really.”
Jeong Hee-seo looked at the clock and smiled. She is just like everyone else, opening her eyes at the same time and looking for food.
As I spent the day breathlessly following the baby’s rhythm, waiting for Jian was quite bearable. So I decided to take charge of the daytime routine.
“It gets prettier and prettier. Look how hungry you are and your lips are pursing. The Chairman also wants to see us a lot… … .”
Jeong Hee-seo’s expression hardened as she accepted the kiss.
“If only it were a little bigger… … .”
It’s been quite a while since I stopped having guests in my house under the pretext of having a newborn.
“Seven days have already passed, Director.”
“I will ask my grandmother to prepare the 100-day banquet.”
The butler, who had been watching Jeong Hee-seo for a long time since her parents’ home, consoled her with a warm smile.
“I guess I said something meaningless again. Take heart… … . Don’t worry about it, just feed it formula. “I’ll see the doctor later and then I’ll get off work.”
“Was today Jian’s checkup day?”
“No, it’s baby vaccination day. Did you forget? “It’s no big deal.”
Jeong Hee-seo was about to make an excuse, but the butler smiled and turned away. As if she didn’t really care, she picked up her gauze handkerchief from the floor and walked out of the bedroom. Jeong Hee-seo glanced at her rounded back and then glanced back at her.
“… … .”
In his arms, where he was standing like a pumice stone, Poggeul rolled over and made saliva. Jeong Hee-seo suddenly began to move at the gesture of appeasing Mamma. Unbeknownst to her, she was losing herself more and more, but thanks to the child in her arms, she would come back to her senses, repeating the days.
The bedroom was filled with bustling and warm sounds. Suddenly, the sound of the blinds being opened, a weak whining, the sound of a paper diaper rustling and slapping, the sound of a baby bottle being shaken, and the sound of bubbles rising rang in my ears.
Occasional quiet laughter and soft whispers aroused curiosity. When that happens, the weight is placed on the mattress and the body tilts. What comes next is the tickling moisture that touches your cheek. The softness that falls away. His hair used to tickle my forehead.
My mind floated in the sunlight as if I was floating on water. I can feel the sparkling dust falling on the bridge of my nose.
‘Are you going to stop waking up now? ‘How long will I sleep?’
It was as if someone was yelling loudly in my ear. When I opened my eyes, it felt like light was pouring in, and I frowned again.
Jian stood up as if he was jumping.
“… … her.”
Soft white bedding and a familiar bed welcomed Jian. The bedroom was just as Jian remembered, from the direction the morning sun came in and the shape of the shadows.
Jian was trying to brush his hair as was his habit when he found a string attached to the back of his hand. It was connected to IV fluids hanging from a long IV pole standing next to the head of the bed.
It is noticeable that there is a ring on the ring finger of the left hand. The ring he had carefully chosen for me missed the beautiful timing and ended up on my finger. It was hard to imagine how he felt when he put this on my hand, which was sleeping as if I were dead.
“… … iced coffee-“
A cracking sound comes from my skinny throat. Jian picked up the water cup at his bedside and drank water, then carefully pulled out the needle stuck in the back of his hand. As I stepped out of bed, my whole body trembled.
Now that I think about it, my body felt awkward.
‘Pogeul…’ … .’
At the moment when I felt a terrible sense of anxiety in my empty stomach, I faintly heard the sound of a baby crying.
How much time has passed? A few days or a few weeks? one month? How was Jeong Hee-seo doing while protecting me while I was lying down?
Jian took a step forward, following a small, beautiful sound that resembled the sound of a bird crying. I walked slowly, one step at a time, leaning against the wall, enjoying the feel of my own home against my bare feet, and set out to find Jeong Hee-seo.
As I quietly open the door and step out into the hallway, I hear the crying sound getting louder. Jian walked down the stairs carefully, one step at a time, holding on to the railing tightly.
“pee… … “He’s nice.”
My legs almost gave out from the soft voice. Her heart was pounding and her face was flushed. It felt like her chest was going to break open at any moment, so I grabbed my front bumper and ran down the stairs.
He was standing in the light with his back to me. He lowered his head and moved his body slowly to console and soothe the precious thing in his arms.
“… … .”
I had to sing, but my mouth wouldn’t fall. Jian reluctantly grabbed the hem of her pajamas.
I was just standing there looking at him, and my big shoulders flinched and bounced. To my surprise, Jeong Hee-seo slowly turned around. She opened her eyes wide, her face white with surprise. Her face was contorted in an expression he had never seen before.
“brother!”
The next moment, Jian’s voice burst out as Jeong Hee-seo slumped down. His body, which had been lying there for a long time, I asked loudly where such strength came from and ran to embrace him.
Jeong Hee-seo and Pogeul were held together in two wide-open arms. The startled baby blushed bright red and cried. I can feel the scent of her baby and Jeong Hee-seo’s body. Realizing that she had finally returned, Jian sobbed, rubbing her cheek in his arms.
“… … Bro bro.”
He didn’t say anything. He held Pogeul with one arm and hugged Jian tightly with his other arm. Even though he had crossed the world, the cold that he had never forgotten melted away in my warm embrace as if it had never happened before.
Jian felt with his whole body the feeling of being alive again.
“… … sorry. “I waited a long time.”
“… … .”
When he felt his arms shaking and raised his head, Jeong Hee-seo was crying. Her dark eyebrows were furrowed, her face contorted into an expression I had never seen before, and her tears were streaming down her face silently.
“… … brother.”
When Jian raised his hand and touched his cheek, he leaned his face into his hand and closed his eyes. Hot tears pooled in her palms and ran down his arms. Jian wiped his face with both hands.
Jeong Hee-seo buried her forehead on Jian’s shoulder.
“… … “Jian.”
It was a name that I whispered countless times into the ear of someone who was sleeping in fear, fearing that if I didn’t call and hold on to him, he would never wake up like this.
“Seo Ji-an.”
I enjoyed the heartbeat of our bodies touching each other and inhaled the pheromones flowing towards me. I couldn’t even think of hiding my wet face.
As I faced it with blurred vision, wondering if I would miss it even for a moment, my young lover diligently wiped away my tears with his hands.
I can see glass-like brown eyes looking at me through the gap between my hands. The corners of his eyes quickly turned red and his pupils became wet, probably because he was crying like a fool.
Jeong Hee-seo was afraid that Ji-an would close her eyes again, so she raised her hand and touched her cheek and pressed her lips to him. Jian also hugged his neck with both arms and pressed his body close to him without leaving any space.
Their breaths mingled as if checking on each other. I was thirsty like people who came back to life.
“Hurry—I ran so hard to get there, but it was too late. “I’m sorry for making you worry so much.”
Jeong Hee-seo hugged Ji-an, who was shaking, preciously. He continued to let out incomprehensible sighs.
“My brother told me to sleep quietly… … .”
While talking gibberish, Pogeul’s small hand reached out to Ji-an. The bright child felt Jian’s presence and stopped crying on his own. He was an extraordinary child who protected Jeong Hee-seo while Ji-an slept like death.
“Say hello. “I don’t have a name yet, so this is just a post.”
Jeong Hee-seo spoke in a deep voice. Although he managed to suppress a smile, his eyes were still trembling with anxiety as he looked at Ji-an. He whispered to me that he was a child that I almost gave up because I thought it was wrong, and that I should praise myself for protecting him.
“Because my brother always protected me, I thought he would protect Pogeul too.”
That moment of running in the light, crossing the world, truly felt like an eternity. Jian cried, saying that it was his brother who became the guide in every moment when he felt anxious and nervous.
“I’m sorry I’m late, Pogeul.”
The baby gently grabbed the finger that Jian held out. I squeezed and pulled my fingertips so hard that my fingernails, which were as thin as paper, turned white.
Jian felt that those hands would tie me tightly to this place. Additionally, this embrace that holds me is my nest.
“Don’t be anxious now. “Because I live here now.”
Jeong Hee-seo looked into Jian’s eyes. This was someone she had in her heart from the moment she first saw him. Even when she was asleep and even when her heart was broken, there was never a moment when I doubted that she would come back to me.
“Don’t go anywhere now.”
“I’m not going. No, I never left. “This is where I belong.”
Jeong Hee-seo held Ji-an in her arms and kissed her forehead.
Every time Jian trembled with joy, the scent she had longed for flowed over her. It was a scent that would pass by her forehead like the wind when she fell asleep at dawn while staying by her side, or when she walked around an empty house holding Poggeul.
I thought I was hallucinating, but it seemed like he was by my side the whole time.
We had a child as soon as we met, and the time we developed feelings was short-lived. At that moment, when some people might laugh at me, I felt fate. It may seem absurd, but I even had the strange thought that it was my other half that I had finally found after going through a long, long journey and going through dozens of failures.
By holding you in my arms, my drama finally has a happy ending.
When the two people finally met each other, bright smiles spread across their faces.
