Incomplete Libretto (1/2)

**NO ONE’S POV**Your mom went inside your room together with your father. They hugged you as they see you sitting on your hospital bed. You laughed. “Mom, dad, I am okay now” They let go of you and looked at you worriedly. Your mom rolled her eyes away from you and you were smiling. It’s been a while now since you last saw them.“Auntie, uncle” Hyun Su bowed before your mom and dad.

“Hyun Su-ah! I thought you’re in Japan?” Your dad asked.

“I went back yesterday after I heard what happened to ________”

“I see but where is Geun Seuk-sshi?” Your dad asked you. You did not answer but your smile fades after hearing his name.“Anyway... Dad, mom, ________ wants to go with you back in America.” You saw your mom and dad turned to you. Waiting for an explanation on your wish, you smiled widely.

“I think it’s about time that we give Geun Seuk-ah a break. I’ll finish my studies in America. Mom, dad, please.” You pleaded. There was a silence between all of you as you wait for their response.

“But why all of a sudden? Did you think about it hard, ________?” Your dad asked you. You nod.

“And dad, I think it’s better for _________ to be in your side” Jung Su told your parents.

“Okay then. I guess Jung Su’s right” Your dad agreed while your mom only smiled at the decision.You looked at your brother, as if thanking him for supporting your decision. “I want to go first thing tomorrow” You bluntly said.

“What?!” Your mom shrieked. “We can’t do that!”

“I already had the doctor signed my papers so that I could leave this hospital today” You told them continuously.

“__________!?!” Your father shouted.

“Please... I cannot stay another minute in this hospital. If we’re going tomorrow, bring me to Seoul now and I’ll rest there. First thing tomorrow, I’ll go to Seung Ho-oppa’s grave”

“Jung Su! What is happening here?”

“Dad, just listen to her.”You’re mom and dad looked at you. You do not want them to worry more so you just keep other things from them. They looked at you and smiled weakly.“Okay then. Just be sure you are going to be okay” Your mom told you. You nod and smiled.

“Thanks, you guys!”**JANG GEUN SEUK’S POV**I was waiting for Jung Su-hyung’s call by the time I woke up. But he did not call me. I was wondering if they are ok. If _________’s okay now. If her memories already came back.I grab my phone and dialed Hyung’s number. It was busy. Maybe he was losing all his signal on that hospital. I sighed. I was planning to go to the hospital again but whenever I remember ________’s situation I end up backing off. I was lying on my bed. Thinking about her. Then, I stood up, sitting at the foot of my bed. I rest my arms over my legs and covered my face with my hands.*Darn! ________! Why did you do that?!* I keep on shouting at myself. I could not believe that I let her did that for me. If I have all my control at that time, I should’ve protected her. I closed my right fist and punched my bed. Shaking my head back and forth. Then, I remembered the song I let her hear. The song I am working on. It was for her. That special someone is her. I made that song for her but she was so dense that she did not notice that. And I was so stubborn that I did not let my feelings known if I had the chance. I went downstairs and to my mom’s room and then inside the piano room. The song is still on the stand. I sat in front of the piano and started playing the keys.Hajimalgul geuraessuh

LISTEN TO: Without Words – Jang Geun Seuk

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Then, as I sing the song. I remembered why I came up with these lyrics on these first stanzas. As I recall why, ________’s face keeps on coming back to my memories. Why do I learn to love her? Is it because she’s beautiful? No, because she understood the real me. Hong Ki told me those sentences, the words that moved me. “She wished that you could find someone to love you the way you are.”Those words, Yeah, those words that I did not expect coming from someone as childish as her. I smiled at the memory. It was Park ________. The kind and real _________. Just like Seung Ho. I did not love her because of her looks. I love her because she brought back the real me. She taught me how face those ugly past. She showed me that love must not hurt that much.Until I realized, I shouldn’t have loved her. I should have pretended that it was just nothing but friendship. If I know we’ll end up like this. If I should have known that I have been loving her too much to make Hae Yoon hate her even more. But I want to love her. I want to love her forever. But how could I do that now. If... the girl I care for cannot remember me...

I grabbed the incomplete lyrics out of the stand, grab a pen from my mom’s desk and went back to in front of the piano again. The sad lyrics I have written on the first stanzas were now being continued with more sadness.I should have run away,

I should have pretended I wasnt listening

like I didnt hear it, like I couldnt hear it

I shouldnt have heard your love in the first place

Without a word you made me know love
