"Cheol-so, Cheol-so......" Kim Soon-yi shouted his name over and over again, tears streaming down his face.

Her appearance was so excited that Xu Minjing was frightened, and she didn't know what to do.

Yim Hong-sik and Cha Eun-joo stood up and gave up their position in front of the bed, then brought a chair and asked Kim Cheol-so to sit down.

Kim Cheol-so stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears on Kim Soon-yi's face, and said, "Don't cry, are you happy to see me?" ”

Kim Soon-yi closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to...... Let you see...... The way I am now. ”

Kim Chol-so said in a slow voice: "You look very beautiful now, exactly the same as before, your hands, mouth, and eyes have not changed. ”

Two years ago, Kim Cheol-so said almost exactly the same thing to her.

"I really, really miss you." Kim Cheol-so continued, "So, I'm coming to see you. ”

Jin Shunyi raised his hand, wiped away his tears tremblingly, and said, "You still have that guitar, but unfortunately I can't play it now." ”

"This time, I'll play it to you."

After speaking, Kim Cheol-so adjusted his posture, plucked the strings, played the tune in his memory, and sang the familiar song.

Carrying the song, he and her seemed to travel back in time, back to fifty years ago, the best years of his life, she was bathed in the golden sun, and sang this song to him, he stared at her with the purest eyes in the world, as if there was only her in his world.

It was she who was wrong.

It was she who forgot her agreement with him.

It was she who left him in time.

She is now so miserable waiting for the call of death, it is the punishment of heaven.

A song.

"Cheol-so, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Jin Shunyi said with tears in his eyes: "If I can do it all over again, I will definitely abide by the agreement, go back to you, and hold your hand tightly." ”

"Don't say you're sorry." Kim Cheol-so said: "One qiē, all of them are willing. I've waited for you at the end, haven't I? Then, all my waiting will be worthwhile, and all my time will not be wasted. I am blessed from the moment I met you. I hope you are also happy, with me or not. So, don't cry, don't say you're sorry, you didn't do anything wrong. ”

Kim Chol-so's words shocked Im Hong-sik.

He thought that Kim Cheol-so didn't understand, but in fact, Kim Cheol-so understood better than anyone else and saw through better than anyone else.

Yan Hongsik has been unhappy for Kim Cheol-so's stupidity many times, and feels that all the time has been wrongly paid, but in Kim Cheol-so's opinion, even waiting is happy, just because of the final reunion. The longer you wait, the happier you will be when you meet again.

As long as he feels happy himself, that's enough.

"I brought that book with me." Kim Cheol-so said, "You fell asleep when you didn't finish reading it last time, so you must finish it this time." ”

Yan Hong-sik heard him mention the book, and hurriedly took out the "Snowman" from his bag and handed it to Kim Cheol-so.

Kim Cheol-so opened the book and slowly read in a deep and gentle voice: "Winter is coming, and the sky is snowing. The boy rushed out of the house and built a snowman twice as tall as him. At night, the snowman suddenly came to life...... The snowman pricked up his ears to listen to the dog, and suddenly felt that his chest became very hot and hot. It became as black as coal, its body turned bronze, it put wood in its mouth and began to breathe fire and burn......"

Kim Soon-yi still didn't finish listening after all.

She fell into a deep sleep again, and this time she slept and never woke up.

On the seventh day of Yim Hong-sik's arrival in Los Angeles, Kim Soon-yi died.

She left in her sleep, walking peacefully.

Kim Cheol-so didn't show a very sad look, he stayed quietly in the corner, stubbornly accompanying Kim Soon-yi.

On the day of Kim Soon-yi's burial, it snowed for the first time in a century in Los Angeles.

Kim Cheol-so wore a black suit and stood straight in front of her grave.

When the mourners dispersed, he still stood there motionless.

His body was covered with snow, like a tall snowman.

That night, Yan Hong-sik received a call from Yoo Si-jin.

"How are you?" Liu Shizhen's deep voice came from the phone, gently stirring his eardrums.

At that moment, I don't know why, Yan Hongzhi suddenly burst into tears.

He hurriedly covered his mouth to keep himself from making a sound.

Liu Shizhen seemed to laugh, and didn't ask Yan Hongzhi if he was listening, and said to himself: "I'm here in the morning, the sun has just risen, and I suddenly missed you, so I called you." You should be there at night, right? You...... Did you miss me? ”

Yan Hongzhi did not answer.

Liu Shi waited quietly for a moment, and when he saw that there was no response, he continued, "Zhexiu should be with you, right?" Because he looked so much like me, I called my dad and asked him if I had any long-lost brothers or something. My dad scolded me for being nervous, but he later told me that my grandfather had a twin brother who had gone missing at the outbreak of the Korean War, and I wondered if Cheol-so would be a descendant of my second grandfather, otherwise we wouldn't have looked that alike. ”

Yan Hongzhi finally stopped his tears, coughed in disguise, and before he could speak, Liu Shizhen suddenly said nervously, "Are you sick?" What's uncomfortable? Have you seen a doctor? Have you taken your medicine? ”

Yan Hongzhi was moved again in his heart, and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, it's just that my throat is a little itchy." ”

Liu Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said with a smile: "You must think I'm very stupid, right?" Talking on the phone across the ocean, but talking nonsense all the time. ”

Yan Hongzhi didn't answer him, but said in a very light voice: "Mr. Liu Shizhen, I suddenly started thinking about you. ”

Liu Shizhen was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "Did you hear the sound of my heartbeat?" ”

Yan Hongzhi didn't hear him, but he heard his own heartbeat.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

***

Kim Chol-so stood in front of Kim Soon-yi's tomb for three days, without eating, drinking, or sleeping.

In the past three days, he has never cried or laughed.

Yan Hongzhi didn't persuade him, but he would come every day to stand quietly with him for a while.

On the morning of the fourth day, Kim Chol-so returned.

He lay down beside Yan Hongzhi with a body of wind and frost, and cried bitterly for the first time, like a fragile child.

Yan Hongzhi reached out and took him into his arms, patted him gently on the back, and comforted him silently.

At such a moment, nothing is said to be weak and pale.

Kim Cheol-so was tired of crying and gradually fell asleep.

This sleep is a day and a night.

The next day, Kim Chol-so woke up and said, "Let's go home." ”

Yan Hongzhi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go home." ”

That evening, Yim Hong-sik and Kim Chol-so flew back to South Korea.

Kim Cheol-so left his guitar and books at Kim Soon-yi's grave, and all he brought back was himself, a new self who said goodbye to the past.
