124: Can the hearts be healed?

"Where are you?" Lina asked someone on phone.

"Why?" she got a reply from the other side.

"Let's meet." She said again.

"Why?" she got a reply again.

"To clear something," Lina answered.

"Okay. I am free," he replied. He was feeling down and he didn't want to meet her right then. But she was asking him to meet her as she was giving him an order.

After some time, they meet each other in a desolate place.

"Why you ask me to meet?" Yeon Hoon asked.

Lina wanted to ask him the truth but suddenly her mouth stopped and no sounds were coming from her throat.

"Seems like you were busy. But I won't take much time. I want to ask you something...." saying this she stopped. Yeon Hoon was feeling angry with her but he was sad too.

"Why you hide that?" he asked acting cold.

"What?" Lina asked.

"That you are married." Yeon Hoon said without any expression.

"I didn't hide from you. I didn't want to." Lina replied and suddenly she was feeling guilty.

"You didn't ask." saying this she looked down.

"You should've told me sooner! I could stop liking you if you tell me about him earlier," he said with hurtful eyes.

"Are you really saying this? Did you really attempting to kiss me?" Now she increased her voice and asked. In reply, he couldn't say anything because it was true but if he says it was true she will hate him more.

"But, you tell me before that you like me." he was complaining against her.

"I didn't tell you I like you as a man which you are not! I just like you because I think you are my younger brother! Sorry, my mistake!" Lina got teary eyes and said. There was nobody else except for the two of them. It was warm weather but not that hot. The sun was shining happily. The wind also didn't give up and blow with his power. After all, it was nice weather.

"I thought you tell that.....If you warn me sooner I could have stop liking you and won't get that hurt. But now, I am feeling like I have been betrayed! You are the betrayer! I....." he was saying loudly but he stopped.

"I know! But, I never thought you will go that far!.....

Why you can't just stay as a brother?" Lina cried out. Seeing her tears he also couldn't control his tears. It started falling and his cheeks got wet.

"Noona! How can I live now? You were my everything!" he was crying. He couldn't stand up like that. He sat down on the ground in front of her.

"Again! How can you say that again! Look at me! I am just an old lady! How can you even see me like that?" Lina shouted.

"I still can't see the old lady. I can just see an angel." he looked at her and said.

"I just came here because I wanted to know if he was saying the truth or not. I didn't believe him though he told me several times! But now I can see he was right! I am the wrong one. Why I am always wrong? Every step I made was wrong! Everything I did was wrong? Why I am always like that?" While saying this she looked up and screamed.

"Okay, I am betrayer! I betrayed you! I betrayed my parents! I betrayed him! I betrayed myself! So, please! please don't come to me again! Don't!" she looked at Yeon Hoon and shouted while dropping her tears.

"No! I didn't say that!" he was seeing her like this for the first time. So, he got afraid and stood up. He wanted to go close to her. But she was moving backward and didn't let him go to her.

"Hoon-ah! You are a good boy! You have a very pure heart. So, please forgive me. I broke your pure heart. I didn't know but if I know about it, I still break your heart. You have a bright and shining future. So, don't stuck in one place or one person. Go ahead and shine those stars who never lost. I am sorry. I am really very sorry." saying this she turned around while shedding her tears. It's not like she broke two hearts. Her heart was also shattered into pieces. She wanted to be close with Dae Ju but she doesn't think after today's incident, he will come to her anymore. It's time to go one side. She can't stay in the middle of two boats anymore. She has to decide if she should go to this boat in which the boatman is Dae Ju and or that in which she has to be the boatman and stay alone. She doesn't feel like going to her work. She was too upset that she couldn't stay there either. Yeon Hoon wanted to stop her but he couldn't say anything in return for her words. He can understand that she will never meet him again. And he can't see her face again. He was standing like a statue and looked at her leaving.

Lina came home and sat on the couch. She has a lot of work but today she couldn't do anything. She was sitting on the couch like she was a statue. She was thinking about her life and regretting her every life decision. Some people don't have a good destiny. Bad luck always chase them and they just can't escape from it. Though they spent a very decent life they just can't escape from their true destiny. Lina was one of those people. She wanted to lead a happy life but happiness doesn't suit her. She kept sitting on the couch and after some time, she leaned on it and continued thinking about her life. Nobody knows how much time she spent like that. She falls asleep while thinking about these things and when she woke up, she saw it was near evening. Usually, she doesn't sleep for that long but she doesn't know how she slept this much. She stood up and noticed her back was hurting. But she went to upstairs and started to get the tub ready. After the tub filled with water, she slowly went inside the water and tried to dunk fully. She dunks her face but she couldn't stay as she couldn't take a breath. She took her face out from the water. She was lying in the bathtub and making some decisions. Both of them are unhappy. It's all because of her. If she wasn't here, Rumi's life would be full of happiness. He is a good person now so he deserves a happy life which she can't give him. So, she was thinking of a divorce. Though she has nobody else, she will deal with it. She will find a place to go though she knows it was not that easy. She sighed and closed her eyes. Though she felt relaxed her inner mind wasn't calm.

[On the other side]

Yeon Hoon came to his lab(a room where he used to write songs, works on musical instruments, and experiment with various kinds of music). He has a bag in his hand. He sat down near his computer table. He got an idea about a song's lyrics. But if anyone looks at the lyrics, they can understand that the lyrics have been written with a heavy and broken heart. He forgot to lock the door so when he was writing on his computer another teammate came to his room. Though he didn't want to disturb him, he was curious where he was for all day and what was he doing. It's dark outside and he left the dorm in the morning and since then nobody knows where he was and what he was doing.

"Hyung! What are you doing?" he asked and came inside.

"Lock the door." Yeon Hoon said. He was the eldest member of his team so everyone called him hyung and he was used to it. This guy was really close to him and he was the only one with whom Yeon Hoon shares his everything. But he didn't tell him about Lina yet. He thought if he tells him about her, he will forbid him to meet with her though he was younger than Yeon Hoon, he had to listen to him. So, he was acting as nothing happened but this boy can tell everything by just looking at his face.

"Are you sad?" he asked.

"No! Why you are thinking like this?" Yeon Hoon asked.

"What are you doing?" his friend asks him again.

"Working on a new song," he replied without looking at him. His friend can understand something must go wrong. But he didn't ask him anything more about it as he knows he will not tell him until he got a mood.

"What is this?" he looked at the bag which Yeon Hoon bought a while ago and opened the bag.

"Whoah! Beers? And this much? You buy them?" he looked at his friend with surprising eyes. Yeon Hoon acted like he was too much concerned about his work so he couldn't give him any reply but it was not like that. He didn't want to reply to him as he remembered his sorrowful memories.

"What are you writing?" saying this his friend came to his chair and looked at the computer screen.

"Ummm.....*when you left me you didn't think about me.....you always care for the other.... your smile was always fake.....*

What? Seems like you are deceived!" his friend laughed after reading the lyrics. He looked at Yeon Hoon but he continued typing the keyboard without looking another way.

"Hyung! Have you eaten? Let's go for dinner." his member said.

"I am not in the mood. You can take others." he was acting cold. And that's why he was more suspicious. He was aggressive but he never acts like that.

"Then, I should sit here and order something. What do you want to eat?" he asked.

"Poison!" Yeon Hoon answered coldly again.

"What? Why you are acting like this? Do you want me to send jail?" he laughed again and came to him and make Yeon Hoon look at him. But his cute dimple smile couldn't melt his heart because his heart has been shattered into pieces and it can't be melt. After some time, he finished writing and stood up. He went to the couch but he sat down on the floor. He took the bag and took out a can of beer. He opened the lid and took a sip. His friend sat beside him silently.

"Wanna drink?" Yeon Hoon asked his friend.

"We don't have any schedule tomorrow. So I can." aster thinking for a while he replied. He took another can and take a sip from it. The two friends were drinking silently. Yeon Hoon remembers about himself and regretting his choices. If he didn't go to the fair that night, maybe they can't meet each other and this would never happen. He remembered when he took Lina to his home. She was injured badly. She was sick. Why did she say that she has no one on this earth? If she gave him some clue that day, he would try to forget about her. Why did she say that? She makes him fall for her more after that day. He was worried about her because he thought she has nobody else to take care of her. And today, she easily said that she betrayed him! How can she? Yeon Hoon's eyes can't hold tears anymore. Seeing him shedding tears, his friend understands something must be wrong so he came closer to him and lean his head on his shoulder. Yeon Hoon was sitting on the floor and he folds his legs while holding them with his arms. He has a can of beer in his hand. His brother-like member leaned his head on his shoulder and tried to look at his face. Yeon Hoon finished the can of beer in one sip and threw the can away. Tears were dropping from his eyes. His shirt was getting wet by his tears but he didn't stop. He let them fall and took another can.
