Chapter 122 - Its ?ust at first sight (1/2)
Downstairs, Kyuri's mother wonders what is going on up there. She frowns once. She can't hear any noise. In the end, she lets the kids take care of their problems and decides to concentrate on the dinner. Ki Hoon will be coming soon from work. It looks like Kang Si An will be staying.
Young Hwa shakes his head and smiles at her. ”Have I told you that you think too much?”
”Not yet.” She raises her chin and looks at the light bulb. She might have said too much. She is embarrassed under his gaze. When it comes to Young Hwa, she always feels like she has a disadvantage.
”Finally, you are acting like a married woman” He grabs her chin and makes her meet his eyes. ”If I tell you that I fell for you the moment I saw you, would you believe me?”
”Love at first sight doesn't exist,” She replies firmly. ”It's ŀust at first sight.”
There's only one kind of her in this world. Yeon Seo or any woman can't match her. ”We will go along with your version then. It's ŀust at first sight. My heart reacted to you and signaled that I have a ton of ŀustful feelings for the woman I have just met. Is that okay?”
Anger flashes in her eyes, but she's also blushing. Young Hwa laughs and decides to become honest with her. ”Do you know what I was planning on doing when Little Hae found me?”
She pouts and asks, ”What were you gonna do?”
”I was thinking about drowning in the sea,” He tells her with a smile and a tinge of sadness in his eyes. She gasps in shock. He covers her mouth before she can say a word. He continues, ”I was tired. I didn't think that I could live without Yeon Seo anymore. I was going to make a stupid decision. I didn't think of my parents or my friends who care about me. I only cared about what I was going through. So, I was thinking of doing it after it got dark. Then, she came and called me Daddy. I was stunned, but I thought that I want to have a daughter whose eyes lit up like her when she called me Daddy.”
He will never forget that day. He received a second life. ”Then, you came running toward us. I saw how the rays of sunlight from the setting sun played with the light in your eyes. My heart skipped a beat. For the first time, I realized that I was capable of living again. You and your daughter became my light that day.”
Kyuri has forgotten to blink.
”Yeon Seo might affect me. She was a part of my past. She was my first love. That must be the reason why she affects me so hard even after long years. However, she's my past.” He lets out a tired sigh. ”She can never become you who came to my life like a paramedic in the last moment and electrocuted my heart awake. You, Kyuri, you are the one I love. Because of you and Little Hae, I am alive. Because of you and her, I still look forward to the next day of my life. All I can think of is how I want to make both of you smile every day.”
