Where in Choi Beomgyu wanted to drive far away and take a break from all of his problems but stumbled upon a women in the middle of the street looking tired and lost in thoughts
Beomgyu's Pov
"yeonjun hyung, can you cancel all my meetings for a week? I just wanna rest" I asked yeonjun hyung my secretary and best friend
"Sure, you really need it, besides these past few months a lot of clients are really coming in so a week break won't really affect that much" he said with a smile
"thank you hyung, I've been so tired lately I really need it."
"do you want me to book you a trip?"
"No no it's fine I just want to be alone for now"
"is it ok if I ask?"
"yeah, you're already asking" I said with a chuckle
"is it because of som-"
"please, let's not talk about anyone"
"ok, I understand gyu, I'll go now, have fun with your vacation" he said while walking towards the door in my office
"oh by the way, it would be great to hear you having a girlfriend when you comeba-"
"Oh hyung get out" I said then we both laughed

Beomgyu's Pov
"everything is set"
I am now on my way to the place I saw online
it's like a cliff with nature surrounding it, grass, tree's, flowers.
I prepared blankets, food, water, a small non electric cooker, pillows, clothes and a tent
yes, I won't be going to a hotel
it's better with nature
right?
take out the hungry wild animal part
I am now in the middle of a dessert like place
no houses, no buildings, no humans
=happiness
I was getting near my destination when a figure of a women made me stop
I looked at her for a great 10minutes then she suddenly fainted
I rushed out of my car approached her and checked her
she looks worn out, tired and pale, I checked her temperature and oh boy she's hot, burning hot
I took her to my car, wrapped my jacket around her, placed a damp cloth on her forehead and turned off the ac
How could a woman be in the middle of nowhere?
I-is she a g-ghost?
A soul?
A witch?
or even worse a s-serial killer?
worse thoughts evolved around my head when suddenly my phone dinged
Indicating that I arrived at my location
I looked at the girl still sleeping beside me when I saw her still asleep I then went out and prepared my tent and my things
all I wanted was alone time but I got a lady who is sick and I am not sure of what she is
don't blame me she could just be faking to be sick to kill me
what if she's a psychopath?
mom, dad please know that I love you, I might not say it but I do-
my thoughts got cut when she suddenly moved and made a sound indicating that she's in pain
I ran to check on her temperature again and her temperature got a little normal which made me relieved
when the girl felt my hand on her forehead she smiled
"I knew you still cared about me hyunjin" she mumbled
I furrowed my eyebrows and shook her body to wake her up
when I did that she slowly opened her eyes
when she saw me her eyes widened and looked at her body
"W-who are you and what did you do to me?"
she asked looking scared and angry
"Miss I-"
"W-where am I?
"we're-"
"you jer-"
"Miss listen to me first!" I said while raising my voice
bad idea
she looked like she was about to cry
I didn't know what to do because I was panicking so I just hugged her and said
"I am sorry for raising my voice, I am not a bad guy" she was quiet for a second but then she started to cry
oh my gosh
half day of my first stay is ruined
-------
Beomgyu's Pov
It's now afternoon we were both sitting on a foldable chair, looking at the sunset quietly while drinking hot chocolate
"I am sorry I didn't know and thank you by the way" she said still looking at the sun
I smiled and looked at her
"it's ok you were unconsious, I am sorry for shouting earlier-"
" no I am sorry I didn't listen-"
"ok let's stop saying sorry now, it's both our fault" I said then we both laughed
after what happened earlier when she calmed down I explained everything from the first time I saw her to her waking up inside my car
"oh by the way I hope you don't find it weird, but how did you get there? in the middle of nowhere I mean" I asked then her faced suddenly looked sad she hanged her head low
"I am sorry it's ok if you don't tell me-"
"No, it's ok" she said while looking at me trying to flash a smile when her eyes where doing the exact opposite and now being flood with tears
"me and my boyfriend planned a trip here too actually it was going great until he said he wanted to break up" she said trying to make her voice clear
"I asked why and he told me..."she was about to continue when her tears betrayed her
"h-he told me h-he was tired of u-us"
"I asked him where d-did us g-go w-wrong to come up with b-breaking up b-but he couldn't answer me"
I sat beside her and rubbed her back
she looks really hurt
she wiped her tears and tried to continue her story
"he said he was going to the bathroom first I asked to go back but he said this will be our last trip and meeting so I should be thankful to him...
while he was at the bathroom, his phone ringed, I am not the type of person who looks at others phones without permission but I was getting paranoid...
I checked it and... he was already seeing someone before he broke up with me" she said then burst out crying
"when I brought it up while in the middle of our way to go here he got really mad and made me ...go down the car and he went to go to the direction of the way home"
all I could do was comfort her
what a jerk
how can a guy do this?
--------
Beomgyu's Pov
Night time came and I was out here with my blanket because I insisted her to take the tent
she's been through so much with that guy I swear if I saw him I am going to-
well it's kinda nice to have company during a vacation
I hope only the best would come for the both of us
-------
2nd day
Beomgyu's Pov
I was still sleeping when I suddenly smelled a scent of good tteok-bokki,
wow what a good scent for a dream
after a few minutes someone shook my shoulders that made me wake up
wow
Am I in heaven?
good food prepared at a table near by
a very pretty angel who woke me up
"beomgyu?"
wow she even knows my name
"hey wake up" I came back to my not so sleepy senses when I felt a slap on my head
"oh r-ryujin sorry I was ...dreaming"
she chuckled
"why? am I that pretty for you to daydream about me?" she said while laughing
I pouted at her but her laugh got even louder
"if you want food there's food at the table" she said trying to stop herself from laughing again
I snorted and went to the table
"wow how can a jerk cheat on you when you are a wife material!" I said then she smiled lightly while blushing
"let's eat" I said and we both ate
---------
3rd day
Beomgyu's Pov
I am really enjoying her company these past days we just kept talking about our lives
how she and her ex jerk boyfriend bought and lived in one apartment, how my parents want me to get married and get have a kid, how she was studying to be a surgeon, how both our love life's somehow messed up
she's like...
home
"so you liked this girl named Somi but she has a boyfriend already and-" she was about to continue asking about Somi when my phone rang
"oh someone's calling... is it ok if I pick it up? I mean I could deny the call if you want-"
"why are you asking for my permission? of course it depends to you" ryujin said
yeah
it's my phone, why would I need to ask her if I could pick it up?
I nodded then went a little far away from her
"hi, may I know who this is?"
"Beom it's me"
"oh...hey Somi what's the sudden call for?"
"haechan and I broke up can you pick me up in my apartment?"
"I am sorry, I am far away from the city"
"I broke up with him, beom...
I realized just now that... you're the one I like"
"..."
"Beomgyu, do you still like me?"
do I?
before whenever Somi calls and tells me she broke up with her boyfriend I would feel excitement
how she asks me to pick her up I would be happy
I would rush to her immediately even if I am far away
but now?
I don't feel anything anymore
the excitement is gone
the happiness is gone
me rushing for her even if I am cities or countries away is also gone
"Beomgyu-"
"Somi, I have a girlfriend"
"you're just saying that right? shouldn't you be happy I liked you back after so many years?"
"you don't like me back Somi, I am just your last option, you know I am always there for you but things are different now"
"Beom don't do this-"
"Beomgyu are you done?" ryujin suddenly asked while tapping my shoulder
"oh almost Ryu, I'll just say goodbye to my friend"
"oh sorry"
"it's ok"
"I'll go now, I hope you find someone you really love, bye"
"beom wait-"
I hang up the phone
I am not angry at her, just disappointed
she's just using me at this point to forget about her exes
and I really am over her
I didn't think of her when I spend my time with... ryujin
what...
what have you done to me Shin Ryujin?
-------
4th day
Beomgyu's Pov
Time flies so fast when I am with her
"so you told her I was your girlfriend?" she asked looking confused
"yeah she won't shut up" I said chuckling
"oh..." her face dropped
"why? do you like already?" I asked her teasingly
she didn't look back at me and just continued to blush more
does she?
"I feel comfortable with you" she said slowly lifting her gaze to my eyes
we looked at each other while our heart beats are getting louder and faster
"I do too" I said breaking the silence
she smiled while looking at me but suddenly frowned
"it's getting darker we should sleep now" she said awkwardly while walking towards the tent
before she could go inside she shouted
"I saw a lot of insects...if you want we can both stay in here"
w-what?
"are you sure?" I asked, she nodded her head confirming so that's what I did
We both faced the opposite of each other to not get awkward
I can't sleep!!!
----------
5th day
Beomgyu's Pov
I woke up looking at the girl Infront of me
I am hugging her!
oxygen please!
she suddenly opened her eyes then both of us were awkwardly looking at each other
she suddenly stood up and left the tent
------
we are now sitting on a log Infront of a bonfire
that's what we've been doing talking about our lives, eating, joking around and watching the sun set
"ryujin" I called her and she hummed in response
"I want to be honest...I think... I am... falling... in love... with...you"
I said which shocked her but then turned into a smile
"to be honest I haven't forgot about hyunjin...but I don't think of him when I am with you" she said and smiled at me again
"I understand...can we try and take things... slow?" I asked uneasy
she then looked at me again and nodded while smiling
I immediately hugged her due to excitement and kissed her head many times that made her giggle
maybe yeonjun hyung is right I would go back home with a girlfriend
--------
6th day
Beomgyu's Pov
"Ryujin, it's second to the last day we're staying here... please stay at my house and don't go back to that jerk"
she laughed "sure, I would rather stay with you than him" she said which made me laugh
we're here again
Infront of a bonfire watching the sunset while cuddling
"Thank you beomgyu, I am really lucky you're the one that found me in the middle of nowhere"
"Thank you too, I think I could give my mother a daughter in law, a grandson or granddaughter while still making myself feel happy and not forced" I said which she returned with a blush and a slap on the arm
"hehe I know take things slowly"
I said
we then turned quiet, but this time a comfortable one
watching the sunset, being with the person you love and make you feel at home, no problems, planning our future
everything feels just right
it's like this one week was made for us to find love we can only find with each other
like a key missing it's locket and a locket missing it's key
and we found the perfect key and locket that fits perfectly with each other
with us
everything feels so perfect it's so unreal
maybe destiny really brought us together
I don't want this to end, and hopefully we could create our family in the future
yes I am that advanced
"The sunset is beautiful isn't it?" she asked which made me turn around to her
"yeah, it is" I said while giggling
"but do you know what's more beautiful?" I asked which made her look at me
"you" I said which made her hide her face on her hands
"beomgyu"
"yes?"
"I want to take this time and tell you... I love you" she said which made my heart go crazy
"wait don't talk yet" she suddenly said
"In a span of six days I never really thought anyone could fall in love, but you made me believe in it,
you made me comfortable, happy, and safe,
you made me felt loved, appreciated and many more things a girl would want to feel,
I hope you don't loose your happy spirit, your smile, and your self,
I want you to keep going on even if unexpected things happen on your way, don't stop and go on,
even if things don't go your way keep walking,
experience new things, and don't be stuck with the past understood?" she asked teary eyed
"yes Ryu, I won't promise instead I will do it" I said also with tears
"yahh why are you making me cry" I asked, which she returned with a smile
I won't loose you ryu,
even if everyone is against us,
even if challenges come our way,
I will fight for you, I will fight with you
even if it's us against the world, I will do everything to keep you safe, happy, and loved
We will be happy

7th day (last day)
Beomgyu's Pov
A ray of light coming from outside made me wake up
I can just stare at her face all day
she's so beautiful
I chuckled and remembered her blushing and slapping my arm when I say cheesy things like that to her
I shook her body for her to wake up but she didn't move
wow she's a heavy sleeper huh? just because it's our last day here...
"Ryu wake up" I sad and shook her body
"Ryu?" I asked sounding concerned because she looks so pale
I checked her temperature and she was so cold
I checked her wrist to check her heart beat
but...
I didn't feel or hear anything
No right?
I tried waking her up more but just like the first attempts
I carried her towards the car not caring about the things we'll leave
I started the engine and hurried to the nearest hospital which was 2hours away from here
I was panicking
crying
and trying to call anyone but no one is picking up
-----------
Beomgyu's Pov
"Dead on arrival"
"doc no, we were just talking last night she was completely fine" I protested the nurses and the doctors just looked at me with potty while I was already on the verge of crying
"sir I guess by now she didn't tell you, based on our tests when we checked her she had breast cancer and it was her last day yesterday"
No...
why now?
why Ryu?
Ryu we...planned our future last night
why did you suddenly go?
-------
20 years later
Beomgyu's Pov
"Dad can I ask who the woman in the picture is?" Kai asked
"She's my first and only love son"
"what about mommy somi? you never loved her?" Kai, my 17year old son asked
"Kai we've been through this conversation since you were a kid"
"me and your mommy married each other not out of love, but out of request 18years ago when your grandma was in her death bed she requested that she wanted to see me get married and have a kid."
"I am sorry for asking again dad, it's just that...can't it really work?" Kai asked sadly
"I am sorry kai"
"It's ok dad" the atmosphere suddenly felt sad so I decided to change the topic
"what about you? are you courting anyone?" I asked teasingly
I know he likes someone but I don't know who among the two
"yes...you already know her ...Yuna"
I knew it-
HUH?
"I thought it was wonyoung?"
"actually wonyoung agreed to me trying to make yuna jealous and it worked, we will have our first date tomorrow"
"wow, you are good at those huh?...
but seriously if you love a girl make her feel loved, make her feel safe and make her happy"
"yeah of course dad, oh by the way I gotta go, I still need to find a suit for tomorrow"
"ok, bye" I said while chuckling
----------
Beomgyu's Pov
I am now standing Infront of her tombstone while placing the flowers I bought
"Hi Ryu, did you miss me?" I asked tears running down my face
"Kai is getting older, he's about to go on his first date"
"what if you were alive hmm? what would our kids look like? how many would they be? a boy or a girl?" I asked stopping myself from crying louder
"but if it did happen we won't have kai now"
"you know Ryu? Kai is still asking about you,
asking why I can't forget about you,
well, how can I move on? when I'm still in love with you" I can't stop it anymore
I cried loudly
"It's hard having no one to talk to about what I feel about you about your death" I now just let my tears fall
"I am sorry for being selfish, but I just can't unlove you that easily"
"It's so hard to hard to live and wake up knowing that the person you love is gone" I wiped my tears and looked at the sky
"I hope to see you again Ryu" I said while rain started to drop
And I cried with it...again
how do you forget someone you don't want to forget?
how do you unlove someone you don't want to unlove?
and how can you live when your reason to live is gone?
