Third person's POV
After 63 years...
"...I walked away" Jieun whispered and closed her eyes
A tears escaped from Hyun-ji's eyes "G-Grandma, why does your story always have to make me cry?" she asked and wiped her tears
Jieun smiled at her granddaughter "It's because you're imagining everything that I tell you"
"You really didn't saw him after that?" Hyun-ji asked while sobbing
"I stayed at home for the whole week trying to make myself busy. Then, my Father wants me and Jisung to study in states. Before we finally leave Korea for good. I went to Aersha trying to see him one more time. There's no traces of them even Yoojin, Heize, everyone. I never saw them after that-" Jieun
"Even him? Jaehyun?" Hyun-ji asked hoping that the same answer that her grandmother always tell her will change
Jieun shook her head and smiled "But I know he is fine. He is doing fine"
"Hyun-ji stop asking your grandmother about it, okay? You heard the story for a thousand times. Aren't you getting tired of it?" Jihoon said, Jieun's only son with Kun
She met Kun in states and ended up marrying him. They have one son which is Jihoon who got married to a Chinese woman and ended up having Hyun-ji their only daughter. It's been 63 years but the memory is still fresh on her mind. She's 83 years old and she's getting weaker as the time goes by.
"No, I just love the story so much. Can't you believe it, Dad? You're supposed to be a dhampir if only Grandma ended up with Jaehyun" Hyun-ji said and smiled so wide while imagining how will the story goes if Jieun only ended up with Jaehyun
"You're wrong. Your Father won't be alive if Mom ended up with Jaehyun. You're also not here if that happens and you won't hear the love story" Hyun-ji's Mom said
She pouted and looked at her Grandma "Grandma, aren't you going to drink your medicine?"
Jieun shook her head "I'm fine. I'll drink it later"
They went to Korea because Jieun wants to see Aersha for the last time. Jihoon never want her to go on a trip since she's getting old. He wants her to gain her strength at home instead. But Jieun begged him to go to Korea just to see the place for the last time since she's getting older.
She knows her time to leave is approaching. She knows anytime soon that she will leave them. She wants to see Aersha for the last time. Her last wish is to see Jaehyun before she finally say good bye but she knows how impossible it is.
Jihoon parked the car "We're here. Is this the place?" he asked
A smile curved on her lips as she looked at the place. It looks really old but the people who stayed there still remains fresh on her mind. She opened the door and got out of the car like she's not that old to ask for help.
"Mom, can I go with Grandma?" Hyun-ji asked her Mom
"Of course, honey. Go on" her Mom answered and smiled at her
Hyun-ji excitedly got out of the car and held her Grandma to help her "Shall we go inside?" she asked
Jieun smiled and nodded. She doesn't have the strength to talk. She just wants to enter the place again and wants the memory to flashback.
They both entered the old house. To ordinary people it looks like a haunted house but to Jieun, it's a place where the vampires where living. The vampires whom she is close with and will remain in her heart.
Hyun-ji is guiding her Grandma as they go upstairs to see all the room at the second floor. There's nothing special but old things that was never touched for a long time "O-Oh, Grandma. I'll just look upstairs, maybe they left some pictures or something important we can bring. That's where Leeteuk's room is, right?"
Jieun nodded as answer and watched Hyun-ji ran upstairs. She adores her granddaughter so much. She eyed at the whole place, memories kept flashing back. The feeling of wanting to go back to the past...
"J-Jung Jaehyun..." she whispered as she closed her eyes hoping he will appear for the last time
"Park Jieun" a familiar voice whispered behind her
She was froze as she heard the voice, she opened her eyes and turned around. A tear escaped from her eyes when she saw his face.
"J-Jaehyun..." she called while tears kept flowing through her cheeks
Jaehyun smiled at her "Shall we talk? It's been a long time"
Jieun nodded slowly and still staring at his face.
He guided Jieun to the balcony of Aersha slowly and carefully. As they reached the balcony, they both sat on the bench while looking at the sky "You're still beautiful"
She can't help but cry. She can't believe what she sees right now. The guy she left before and she's been waiting for, for 63 years is beside her. She leaner her head on Jaehyun's shoulder while he wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
"It's been 63 years but you're still beautiful, wife. I saw your son and he looks like Kun-" Jaehyun
"H-Huh? How did you know that Kun is his Father?" Jieun asked
"I told you, I will watch you walk your path. I've been watching you for 63 years. I saw how happy you were when you got married, you had your son and now how you spent your remaining time with your granddaughter. I also know that you are meeting the doctor in secret..." he whispered while caressing her shoulder
"T-Then, you know that I don't have much time?" Jieun asked while struggling to breath properly
Jaehyun nodded "I-I know" and his tears fell
"I just want to ask you a favor before I finally go" she whispered
"Hmm" he answered
"Can you protect Hyun-ji for me? I treasure her so much. Her parents were getting older and I don't want her to feel alone. She's too precious to be left. I-I just can't leave because of her..." she said trying to breath properly, her hands were shaking and she closed her eyes
"J-Jieun..." Jaehyun called
"C-Can you do t-that for me?" she asked once again
Jaehyun started crying quietly...
Hyun-ji is still looking some important things they can bring from Leeteuk's office. She never saw their faces even Jaehyun. She kept looking around the room when the closet suddenly opened, there a lot of pictures fell. She was about to pick up the photos when she saw more albums in the closet and a folder full of list of students who studied in Aersha. The school of vampires.
"Finally" she said and carried the pictures and folders with her as she ran downstairs. She looked around but her Grandma wasn't there. Until she saw a figure of a man and woman sitting on a bench. She started walking to them slowly...
"You can rest now..." he whispered to Jieun
Jieun slowly closed her eyes as she finally left the world...
"G-Grandma..." Hyun-ji whispered as she kneeled in front of her and trying to shake her body "N-No, G-Grandma. Please, wake up"
Jaehyun looked at Hyun-ji "Let her rest. She suffered a lot. It's time for her to go"
Hyun-ji cried quietly while holding her Grandma's hand tight.
"I will protect her like how you protected me" he whispered and held Jieun as tight as he can "Fly high, Park Jieun"
