amandapandaa: You gave me so much confident ^^ Ah yes... you need to be careful answering Seven ~ ^^; which bad ending did you got? O:
AshidaAkane : *wipes your tears* please bear with the feels ; ;
I heard it.
The sounds of desperate wails from behind the door.
I still remember the flashback from the first time I said that her feelings was useless. I often imagine her dazzling smiles from behind the phone whenever we jokes around in messenger and I would love to witness it with my own eyes. But the only expression I've seen from her the moment we met is hurt. I sliced her heart back then, and I pierce a stake through it just now. How am I supposed to face her after this?
It shattered my heart even worse if it's possible. My only wish is to keep her safe. But why won't she understand? Those attempts to get close to me will all go to waste when I'm gone. I can only bring her harm, she can't be with me. It's not possible for both of us. She's a bright, wise and a good girl. She can get any man she wants. Maybe Zen is good for her, he's handsome, hardworking and charming, he will take good care of her.
Clench
God...don't give in to your petty jealousy.
As much as I want her to smile brightly again, deep down I want it to be just for me.
You and me let's get married at the space station...
I shook my head and let out a snort. Space station my ass. I can't even get her out from this crap safely, what were I thinking when I said that? Her life and welfare is my responsibility and I will do everything to keep her safe and sound.
The wailing stops eventually. Is she alright?
I remember when she's calling her mother, saying that she'll promise that she will not forget to eat properly and take her medicine. Is she sick? I read that stress will make someone got weaker.
Right when my thought run wild about her health, my phone rung.
"Seven?" a hoarse voice came from the other side. Her voice has changed to due to all the crying she did just now, and she still call me anyway? This girl impossible!
"... Why are you calling me again? I almost just ignore it," I said, "I told you not to talk to me, but now you're calling me? I guess you don't think I was serious?"
I had enough hurting you for tonight. Please leave me alone.
"It's time to sleep. Just go to bed." I snapped at her, "I'm going to push you the more you try to come into my life. I don't care if you get hurt."
Please give up.
I chanted same pray over and over again. But her answer came after long pause, with same hoarse voice but firm.
"I don't care even if you keep pushing me away."
This woman will be the death of me. Why won't any rejection get through her? Is she programmed like RoboCat?
"What do you mean you don't care? You can't change my feelings with that!" I said, "Are you a robot? You will get hurt. Stop hurting yourself and stop interfering with my life! Why are you so interested with me, I'm nothing."
"You're persistent and ridiculous."
I'll make sure this is the last for tonight. Please don't let me hear your wails again.
"Never mind..." I said, "I don't want to talk anymore. Do whatever you want if you want to get hurt. I warned you."
Please listen to me. Be afraid of getting hurt, please.
"And I'm not going to take your calls so don't bother."
It's cold tonight. I shouldn't have sit in the outdoor area of the cafe. I honestly hate to sit here doing nothing. It made me think about many things.
Saeran, my other half...
I remember years ago, when I was twelve. I've met V and Rika, my saviors, who's also made me convert to Catholic. I recall the moments I sold myself to the devil.
They said that they will make sure that I can't be traced by my father, the soon to be elected Prime Minister, by becoming a secret agent. And they will keep Saeran safe in my place. It doesn't make sense when I think about it now. They could've just take both of us with them, we will try hard not to be noticed by anyone. I don't need school and neither did Saeran. I will teach him whatever he needs to know. If only I wasn't so blinded by trust...
To hell with this absurd charity crap.
I let out a groan. And glanced to my phone screen.
2:46 A.M
...and this girl is still online.
I was thinking to reveal everything to RFA soon. So i guess I will just leave the message in a chat room. I typed everything that I know about V and also my brother. They need to know that I'm no longer give a damn about this party thing, Saeran is my top priority. I need to save him from the filthy hacking field I'm working on.
Calmly convince Luna to sleep in the end, she finally listen with her last wish for me to take care of myself too.
4:10 A.M
She should be asleep now, right?
I quietly open the door, trying not to disturb her slumber. I saw her body in the bed, curling up hugging a pillow, covered by warm bed cover. I saw some pills on top of the drawer along with a note filled with a food list titled with, 'Prohibited Food'.
Acute stomach ulcer? Oh, God...
Her face is pale and I noticed eye bags under her eyes. It's tempting to touch her cheek. But I'm worried that she will wake up. So I just stand next to her while propping my hands in the bed, carefully observing your face.
"Luna...," I whispered, "You're asleep."
"You've been talking all day but you're so quiet when you're sleeping,"
These lips...which won't stop saying that you like me...
"You're so weird you know that?" I kneel next to her bed and softly stroked her hair careful not to touch her head, "I must have hurt you by saying all those things, but you still managed to be bright... You can get angry at me... but seeing you reminds me of the 707 I am in the messenger. You're really like 707. But I suppose you and Saeyoung are nothing alike. Saeyoung is so dark and pessimistic that he cannot be with you... I want you to know that."
Yes, this is who I am.
"I can no longer wear the mask of the happy-go-lucky 707. This complicated and icy person is me. I want you to realize that and be disappointed. So please don't waste your feelings on me. I'm not a fun cool person...I can put you in danger."
I let out a snort, "But you're a strange person, so you won't understand what I say. So I think I'll end up hurting you again tomorrow morning."
"No, you're not a strange person... The one who's strange is me. You're actually so warm and nice."
Like the sun.
"So I sometimes dream about you some day accepting the real me," I shook my head, " Of course it's a ridiculous dream...but thank you for letting me dream at least."
"Lunalea..," I whispered, "Please remember in your dreams. Don't trust V ...and even me. Don't give your feelings to anyone in the RFA. Please be less nice to me...so that you won't be hurt when I disappear. Don't trust anyone and stay safe. And forget about me and be happy. Letting me to protect you...is much more than I deserve. That is enough for Saeyoung."
I gathered all the courage I have left and lowered my lips to her forehead, slowly closed the gap between us.
Dear God... at least let her have happy dreams in her sleep.
Author Notes
Seven... I'm speechless T_T This is the VN where I finally head over heels to him.
I added some stuff about MC's condition, but it's not going to bring a twist on the plot, don't worry. Stomach ulcer is really dangerous and can come anytime, so please be careful! I have that list too lol. I'm at that point where I shouldn't eat food with too much seasonings because my entire stomach and bowel can't cake it anymore. Stay positive and don't let disease come to you!
Anyway, aside from adding some backstory about MC, I also want to talk about... forcing yourself. Sometimes people will get too carried away and tried to be cheerful, even it's not necessarily trying to show off that they're 'okay'. But during the times your force yourself, your body will say otherwise. MC is definitely forcing her way into Seven, even though she's only being true to herself. She did it because Seven and her are similar: they're both nuts. They don't care for each other's feelings as long as their loved ones are happy. That's just how crazy in love they are. And current situation also will trigger stress as well.
So, cry if you have to, talk if you need encouragement, take a break and don't shut yourself tight. The only way to let go is to literally let it go. Don't forget to be awesome!
