Myeol Mang saw in her eyes that faint desire, she wants to understand. Sighing, he says, "But, well. As you wish." A sudden gust of wind blows in her face, soft brown hair covers her eyes, a chill in the air. Slowly opening her eyes, finds herself standing in back of his house, surrounded by blooming flowers and trees. He stands a good distance away, a large stretch of green grass separates them, staring, he says, "This is my world." Turning, facing away from her, steps forward, a small step but as he does, a frightening thing occurs.
Underneath his footstep, green grass dies, turns gray, dying before her eyes. Every foot step, a slow chain reaction occurs, spreads as a wildfire grows stronger, grass dies, sunflowers, leaves, flowers, all crumble, disintegrate into fine powder floats in the air. Nothing is left in the path of his footsteps. All the world surrounding him turns gray, lacking in color and sound of life.
She watches as his shoulders slump, the pain he must feel all the time. She thinks, "The reason for the disappearance of everything. The God of everything that disappears. To love things that will disappear when you touch them, must be lonely. So much so, that you never would want to love. I think I can understand a little from what you are, to running away." Dong Kyung processes all these thoughts as she watches him turn around, pain reflects in his dark eyes, a little shame. Looking across the way, she sees the vulnerability, this was difficult for him to show his weakness, and more than anything he is misunderstood she can sense that now.
Tentatively, she steps forward, one step, followed by a second, closer towards him, not realizing, her love brought all the life flooding back in his direction. All the death and destruction is footsteps wrought on the beautiful garden were nullified by the love of this one woman. Dong Kyung reached out to him, showing her love, compassion. He stared in wonderment as all around the garden colors became vivid and bright again, as her love brought forth all the life back into the world surrounding his existence. His black eyes glazed over in surprise, his heart pounded, when she reached out, grasped his hand, he flinched. Shocked, overwhelmed, jerked his hand out of her grasp. Dong Kyung awoke, jarred from her sleep by his abrupt action, worried, his reaction seems one of anger and shock. She feels the need to talk with him and clear the air.
