CHAPTER 12: WINDSTRUCK (and other information concerning the real "Windstruck")

She went back to her apartment after five days. She closed the door and stared at the pinwheels she made. "I must be crazy," she said to herself, smiling crazily. She was about to take the first one off and place it in a garbage bag she was holding when it turned slowly. She felt that all pinwheels around her turned around though all the windows were shut. Slowly, all of them gained speed. It was a creepy sight, the pinwheels turning like crazy, the curtains flying with the wind as it broke its way through the closed windows, causing them to sound and open up. Fuuko looked around her and she saw that book with the ripped page tore open and the torn page flew through the air. Because of that, Fuuko looked at her calendar and saw the marked date. "The 49th day…"

The torn page flew around the room with the wind until it reached something behind a curtain. It was Tokiya, now holding the said piece of paper, folding it once again to a paper plane.

"Tokiya!" Fuuko shouted happily.

"You know that you're my goddess, Fuuko. What makes you think that I will leave you?"

"You'll leave after this day," Fuuko pouted.

Tokiya nodded in agreement. "Yes and no," he said. "I'll leave that you will never see a trace of my soul again but I won't leave because I'll always guide you." Fuuko threw an embrace and held Tokiya tight. A silvery light started to glow above. "I have to go now, Fuuko."

"You don't need to leave. If you'll leave, I'll go with you!" Fuuko said stubbornly, holding Tokiya tighter as he tried to get out.

"I told you before, in that dream… you cannot…" Tokiya tried to say.

Fuuko started to cry. "Please…"

Tokiya shook his head as he slowly started to fade from his feet. "I like to be with you but I cannot. Please understand that. No matter what happens, you will always know that I love you."

"If you love me, you won't leave me!" Fuuko insisted.

"Try to find another one that will love you. Maybe that man will love you more than I have loved you, Fuuko," he said as though he hadn't heard Fuuko's words.

The wind started to be a little stronger, from breeze to gale. "I won't love anybody anymore! I will only love you…"

"You'll forget me if you mourn for me more. Get a new life now. I love you…" the last words of Tokiya were spoken faintly as he disappeared, as well as the light. Slowly, the wind started to calm.

Two years after that, I always remembered everything about him. I never forgot him. I decided to study once again and get a new life though I know that Tokiya will always be a part of my life.

He'll always be a part of my life. Will I say that after the next fateful meeting of another stranger I will chase wrongly?

a/n: that's is the end of the pointless story that tells us of a dead guy and a mourning girl. Am I really that sarcastic that I manage to insult my own stories?

Anyway, I promised, in the first chapter, that I will tell of the origin of Windstruck.

Windstruck is the prequel of the hit Asian movie, "My Sassy Girl" and also the prequel of the story written by Sassy Girl's boyfriend (MSG is based on a true story). It is also starred by the girl who got the leading role in MSG. Anyway; this is a story of a police woman who chased an ordinary citizen (not a prosecutor) wrongly. Well, the handcuff and the son of the king of the nightclubs were really from there but others sprouted from my imagination.

In MSG, Gyung Woo and Kyung Jin (but remember that the girl was unnamed in the movie) celebrated their 100th day with Gyung Woo giving flowers to Kyung Jin. Though in the real Windstruck, the guy didn't give any flowers (or I cannot remember if there was a part like that), I placed it to add a romantic effect. I also removed the fact that the girl had a twin sister who died in a car accident, thus making her live her sister's dream and become a police rather than a pianist (not confirmed, haven't watched it lately). The princess story was told detail by detail in the movie, as well as the reenactment, and became their sign.

The scene where Tokiya showed up with the wind is also a part of the story, not my imagination. Duh! That's the reason why it was entitled "Windstruck."

We'll connect the following. Gyung Woo is the cousin of Kyung Jin's ex-boyfriend, Myong-Woo. At the last part of MSG, the mother of Myung-Woo introduced her to Gyung Woo as his cousin and that he resembled striking similarities with the late guy. It's like matchmaking someone who have met each other before.

So it means after her boyfriend died, Kyung Jin went back to study again. She had Gyung Woo as a classmate, of course. I think the reason that she was always drunk is because of her depression that "my boyfriend died two (?) years ago."

If you have watched the movie, Sassy Girl ordered Gyung Woo things to do that she often did to her former boyfriend. That's true because you'll see some of those errands done by her dead lover in Windstruck.

My last "Fuuko POV" paragraph tells us of Kyung Jin's initial reaction when she first met Gyung Woo in a subway. That's the point where "My Sassy Girl" starts.

a/n: I guess I have to leave the responsibility for you to watch the film because it's greater than my cheap rip-off. Do enjoy watching. Mind you, watch "My Sassy Girl" first before "Windstruck" because you will be confused if you try to cheat yourself and watch the prequel.

Dedication: As usual, I dedicate this story to "Emitted from Altered Navigation (mind you, Navigation is having a hard time helping me in this story. I kill him everytime he doesn't send his weekly 'fiction' report. He's immortal, you know)." Also to the whole "Mango Bar Club and "GH Maco" yeah!
