Sentinel of Illumination
{Jeong Haeun}{Kim Seonwoo}

She fell to his knees as she saw the arrow shot by piercing through her lover , her hands loosing it's strength as she lifts it from her father's foot , trying to touch the cold body of Seon , lying on the cold imperial ground with a smile on his face , the moment when their life flashed through her mind , Haeun's hands reached to grap the sword from the guard near her as she placed it on her neck , tears streaming down on her face as she held the cold hand of her love , she couldn't hear anything, world was silent and ignorant of her suffering, she took her last breath as the sword in her hands took her life .

As the world was going black , the feeling of the familiar warmth on her face , telling it was ok , everything was going to be fine , but the bright smile was fading away longer she saw it , her scream did not matter , her life was fading away to never return.

"Please God , would you give me a chance , just one so I can touch him once and make him smile , tell him back it was going going to be alright ...... Please." She begged every god , as she walked through the void feeling desolated, embracing the shadow she let herself fall through the darkness.

she opened her eyes , she blinked away the darkness as his face exhibited a visage of sorrow and pain, where tear stain contoured her face . Her eyes diverted to the ring on her finger , the dried tears started trickling from her eyes again as her heart clenched with agony. She wanted to throw it away, but she couldn't, it was the last thing that said it was true , he was with you , close to you at least in your memories and heart maybe .

In cascade of her memories, she found herself transported back , to her happiness, to the time where she could be held in his arms as long she wanted , where her gentle hands caressed the calloused hand of a warrior, trying to sooth the pain hoping to remove the pain in his heart too , feeling safe as he stood close , not diverting his eyes from her even for a moment, the pure bliss never fading which makes her at his eyes for eternity to capture every emotion swirling in that tiny whorl of abyss .

she could never get tried of stealing glaces at him, as she watched her stonic face , a cover up that he shows to everyone expect her , just this memory could sooth pain of the current memories that she has , she might be the same person or not she doesn't know who she is anymore, or whether she was even needed in his existence neither.

As Seon's hands grabbed her waist , pulling her close to his torso staring at her lips , closing their distance with a sweet kiss , sweeter than any honey she have ever known . As she remembers his touch . she traced her fingers up to her lips . wanting to feel that sensation again.

But all in vain as she could only hold on the hope that one day that glace filled with love would come back , she didn't have the will power to hold on to the string of that single hope any longer , she know he might be the same person but at the same time not , her love died long ago , she watched his life fade away without doing anything, it was punishment.

As the labyrinth of her memories began to weave a tapestry of her sorrows again , she took a long breath feeling the fresh air , just a gesture to make sure this all isn't her dream or something she is making up in her mind while walking down the void .

she stepped her soles on the floor feeling the sensation of the cold air , she took a step forward towards the big mirror in her room , she felt her features, touching it slowly , she felt like she was not suppose to be here , she didn't belong here , she was stealing someones chance at life , the guilt was eating her up , maybe if he was gone it would be all prefect, everyone would be happy.

Her eyes lingered on the dress that was hanged by the closet , she graced her fingers through the fabrics of the dress , not wanting to wear it , not wanting to feel her dream and heart shattering like glass shards , but her desire to see him won over her resilience , as she stepped out of her house in her dress in to the wedding venue .

She hoped seeing him would ease her pain , maybe she could forget and be forgotten at the same time , she locked her eyes with Seonwoo , her love , his smile was the most beautiful thing but this time it was not directed at her , as he smiled the brightest smile and took the wedding ring from her , she turned back a single tear feel from her eyes , her fingers lingering on the ring on her fingers caressing it , accepting life it not always what you dream of , at that time she decided to walk away from her dream and nightmares, maybe it was meant to be like this
