Chapter 52 Reunion
Night had fallen down, Da Oh came back to the park near her house to wait for the supermoon to come. The woman stood upright near the big tree in front of her. She lifted her head for a moment to the sky and saw the moonlight starting to appear brighter and bigger.
"Woon..... Did you know?" said the woman talking alone with no one around.
"Today, I saw you.... I don't know how to feel about that, I'm very happy because I can see you again, but you don't even recognize me.... It feels like there's a big and hard thing which hit in my heart." said Dan Oh quietly remembering what happened to her at that evening. She lowered her head for a moment and staring blankly on the ground around her feet.
"Actually that guy... Is he really you or is he just someone else who looks like you, hm?" asked Dan Oh raising her head and looking at the large tree trunk in front of her again.
"Can't I see you again, hm? I.... Really miss you Woon...." Dan Oh said softly.
The supermoon lasted for half an hour and during that state, Dan Oh just stood there, staring intently at the old tree that stood tall and sturdy.
"Will today not going to work again?" Dan Oh muttered quietly watching the moon return to its normal position.
The woman took a deep breath. With a limp body and a lost spirit Dan Oh turned around to return home, she was starting to get very frustrated with holding on to her hopes. Every time a supermoon comes, every time she hopes that the connecting door between the two dimensions will open again. But even though eleven years had passed, her hopes seemed endless. Dan Oh felt that every time she started to hope she would disappointed again. She starts to think back to what Kyung had said to her this afternoon, maybe he was right. She had to start forgetting and letting go of her fantasies.
Dan Oh walked unsteadily while looking down at the ground. Suddenly she saw a pair of feet wearing black leather sandals appear and pointed toward her. The woman raised her head and saw a man who was looking at her. The man was wearing a casual shirt with a gray t-shirt inside that showed some of his white cloth basketball jacket. He wore white pants to match his jacket with neatly arranged hair.
Dan Oh's breath suddenly stopped when she looked at the figure of the man who is standing in front of her. She couldn't believe that that face would reappear and stand right in front of her now. Slowly Dan Oh began to catch her breath. She raised her right hand and grabbed the man's left cheek with some hesitation. Dan Oh gently touched the man's cheek while tilting her head, she couldn't tell if this was just her imagination or the reality in front of her.
"Eun Dan Oh...." Woon called her softly, the man showed his warm smile to the petite woman in front of him. Dan Oh blinked when she heard Woon call her name. She sighed softly and without realizing it, a tear had just trickled down her right cheek.
"You... Are you really Woon? Hwon Woon? The man who I know?" asked Dan Oh doubtful Woon blinked his eyes while still smiling and looked closely at the face of the woman he missed so much.
"That's right.... It's me, Eun Dan Oh..." Woon replied her softly. Dan Oh bit her bottom lip and started to crying.
"Are you really Woon?" asked Dan Oh again in a quivering voice. She wanted to make sure that she didn't hear it wrong and prove that this wasn't just a dream.
"Yes, it's me.... Eun Dan Oh..." Woon answered her patiently.
The woman looked at Woon's face with her teary eyes. Then leaned her head on the king's chest with both of her hands holding on to his shirt tightly. Dan Oh looked down and pull out all of her tears, her shoulders were seen up and down as her sobs filled the garden atmosphere that night. Woon touched the back of Dan Oh's head with his right hand and pull Dan Oh's body closer with his other hand. He let the woman cry in his arms. Woon is also able to feel the longing and sadness that overflows from his heart. The man was crying silently to express his feelings.
"I miss you, Dan Oh...." Woon mumbled softly then kissed the forehead of the tiny woman in his arms.
"What happened? How did you get here?" asked Dan Oh curiously as she lifted her head and looked at Woon's face from the position in their embrace.
"I came here one year ago, when the door between our two dimensions opened," Woon explained her.
He told all the things he talked to Elmo about the state of the parallel moon that could open the door between their two dimensional worlds. For one year after his arrival to the Earth, Woon has been trying to adapt to the surrounding community and become a martial arts trainer for middle and high school children around the city. Woon had been trying to find Dan Oh everywhere for a year, but finding someone in a big and bustling city like Seoul wasn't easy at all.
"So... the door between our dimensions will open within sixty-four years of Mirac's reckoning and ten years of Earth's reckoning?" asked Dan Oh after listening to the explanation from the inhabitants of the planet Mirac.
"I think so, at least that's the initial conclusion that Elmo knows for now" Woon replied then.
"What about your wound, Woon? Are you okay?" asked Dan Oh suddenly after remembering Woon's last state at their last meeting. She brought her hand to Woon's stomach and stroked it gently. The woman looked at Woon with a great concern.
"I'm fine...." Woon said with a meaningful smile.
"The wound has been healed for a long time, Elmo healed it" Woon explained later, recalling the help Elmo had given him. Woon's injuries were quite severe and it took him almost a month to fully recover with Elmo's treatment.
"Elmo? How did you come to see him when you are badly injured?" asked Dan Oh curiously. Woon patiently told all the things that happened after the war with Binju was over.
"Ah by the way, this is yours..." The man then took out Dan Oh's cellphone from his pocket and handed it to the owner.
"This thing was with you? I looked for it everywhere" said Dan Oh while holding her dead cell phone.
"But I already have a new one, I will give this for you, keep it as a memento," said the girl as she put the cell phone into Woon's pocket and gave him a light pat.
"Wait a minute...." Dan Oh said as she reached into her pocket and then pulled out the cellphone she currently has.
"Let's take a picture together now, don't forget to smile, okay?..." said Dan Oh, emphasizing that the man should show his best smile. Woon just obeyed the woman's words well and smiled broadly.
"one two three" Dan Oh took her first photo with Woon using the newest camera fiture on her cellphone.
"Waah ... the results are very good, I really like it ..." said Dan Oh looking at her photo with Woon while showing a happy smile. Woon also smiled seeing the happy expression on the woman's face, it felt like he had not seen the beauty of the woman's smile for a long time. The man then grabbed Dan Oh's tiny body and hugged her tightly again, expressing his longing that he had harbored for a long time.
"That's right... where did you show up?" Dan Oh asked in Woon's arms while leaning on the king's chest.
"Here, near the tree," replied Woon, pointing to the tree behind Dan Oh.
"I see... You must just showed up when I didn't come to this place a year ago, how unlucky" Dan Oh muttered quietly.
"But... why are you only showing up now?" the woman then asked again.
"I tried to look for you everywhere, but I didn't know how to find you, until finally two days ago I saw an announcement near the bus terminal telling that you were going to hold a book review event, about your novel that tells the story of my planet ..." said Woon explaining the way he finally found to meet the woman.
"You came to the event?" asked Dan Oh curiously. Woon was silent for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
"I saw you with that guy, Baek Kyung," Woon said quietly, barely audible.
"So... the person who was observing me at that time was you Woon?" asked Dan Oh increasingly curious. The man nodded slowly.
"Then what about the man I saw this evening? The man who is riding the bicycle, is he also you?" asked Dan Oh again.
"Yes... that's me...." Woon replied then.
Suddenly Dan Oh let go of Woon's arms and kicked the man's leg hardly. Woon immediately get hurt and fell down then held his leg which suddenly feel numb.
"Hey! It hurts!" Woon said while stroking his aching leg. Dan Oh just looked at the man who was kneeling in pain with a cynical look. Woon then straightened his body and looked at Dan Oh in silence.
"You evil bastard!!" Dan Oh is dumbfounded while hitting Woon's body with her fist. For a moment the man only allowed Dan Oh to continue on beating him, then held the woman's hand tightly.
"Why did you do it? Why do you pretend that you don't recognize me? You don't know how much your behavior hurts me?" asked Dan Oh annoyed. It was clear that a sad expression appeared on her face. The woman almost cried because she felt sad and upset at the same time.
"I'm sorry...." Woon said quietly, the man began to feel guilty when he saw the woman seemed hurt by his actions.
"Why did you do it?" asked Dan Oh again sarcastically.
"I saw you with him.... you two looks really happy, my purpose in coming here is to see you, to know how you are now. When I see you seem happy with him, then what else can I do? I don't want to be selfish and greedy" replied Woon with gently, there was a look of sadness and loneliness implied on his face.
"Why do you have to be selfish and greedy for that?" Dan Oh asked confusely, this time the woman was no longer annoyed when she found out about the reason behind Woon's behavior at that afternoon.
" My main goal is just to see you Dan Oh.... when my goal is achieved then I have to go and return to where I belong, I shouldn't have more desire to meet you and interfere with your happy life here. You have your own story and life here, that's why I decided to go quietly" said Woon with a low voice, he looked at Dan Oh with teary eyes.
"Then what about me? I also want to see you. Why don't you ask me first, you should have come and ask me about it. Why do you think that meeting me is selfish? You should have met me!!" said Dan Oh in a rising voice at the end of her sentence.
"I love you Dan Oh... I love you..." Woon whispered softly as he looked at Dan Oh and showed his handsome smile.
The woman averted her gaze from Woon while biting the inside of her lips. Her heart beats so fast after hearing Woon's confession. Woon's smile at that time made her blood flow faster, her chest felt tight and her body temperature rose drastically. Dan Oh let go of Woon and walked past the man without saying anything. The woman didn't know what to say in response to Woon's words. All she knew at that moment was that she wanted to go and hide from Woon so she could get her heart rate back to normal, which felt like it wasn't working like it used to be.
Woon looked confused at Dan Oh's attitude, the man immediately turned his body and walked after Dan Oh's to catch up her footsteps and immediately follow her.
"Eun Dan Oh, why are you leaving?" Woon asked after catching up with the woman and walking side by side with her. The man still looked confused because he couldn't understand Dan Oh's sudden change in attitude.
"Go away...You're embarrassing me..." Dan Oh said without turning around. The woman's shy attitude made Woon smile in amusement after hearing her answer.
"Why did I embarrass you?" Woon teased her and showing his nosy as he brought his face closer to Dan Oh's with a slight bow.
"Just Go ..." Dan Oh said while pushing Woon's face away from her. The man laughed loudly at the petite woman's behaviour.
"I don't want to.... I'll stay here" Woon grabbed Dan Oh's right hand and gripped it tightly with his left hand. Dan Oh turned to Woon for a moment, then smiling shyly. Woon grabbed the woman's hand and made the two of them walk hand in hand. Dan Oh slowly grabbed Woon's arm which was holding her hand and made the man smile happily.
"Are you going to be on Earth for ten years then come back to Mirac?" Dan Oh asked while leaning her head on the side of Woon's arm. She tried to lean on the man's shoulder, but the difference in their heights allowed the tiny woman to catch only on Woon's upper arm with her head.
"If you ask me to stay, then I will stay here. If you don't want it, then I will go" Woon said lightly in response to Dan Oh's question. The woman stopped her footsteps and raised her head, looking at Woon's face.
"Don't go then... But if you arenstaying here, what about your kingdom?" asked Dan Oh curiously.
"You don't need to worry about it, my sister and Gwi have become the new leaders who will guard the Hwon kingdom, after all there are Ryu and Key too. They no longer need my presence, so... do you still want me to be here?" Woon asked then while looking at the woman closely. Dan Oh seemed to be silent for a moment before finally nodding slowly and hesitantly, she flashed a smile while blushing.
"Okay.... I'll stay here..." Woon said then made Dan Oh smile even more. The gleam of her face that was very cheerful and shining again appeared in her expression, something that Woon had really missed for those decades.
"How are the four of them?" asked Dan Oh, she is curious to know about her traveling partner condition now, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"My Sister and Gwi are married, while Ryu and Key... I think they must be married by now," said Woon.
"Is commander Gwi finally able to be with Princess Siera? Wow, that's great! Hmm... Ryu and Key are also married? Hopefully Key doesn't have a hard time because she have to face Ryu's very nosy behavior everyday," said Dan Oh while imagining the fourth life now.
"Should we be like them too? Should we create a new link for our world? The mixed ancestry from the Hwon and Yeon kingdoms?" Woon asked enthusiastically.
"Why should we do that?" asked Dan Oh casually. Woon's expression immediately changed in an instant. His enthusiasm immediately vanished away.
"Why not? Why else? Of course because I love you. Didn't you know? Do I have to keep saying it over again?" Won asked then. He really didn't understand why Dan Oh was so relaxed about his proposal to get married.
"So.... because you love me, then we have to get married? Is that so?" asked Dan Oh again, still being so relaxed. She was actually trying to make fun of the man in front of her deliberately.
"Don't you have the same feelings as me? Don't you love me?" asked Woon probingly. Dan Oh just shrugged her shoulders with an even expression in response to the question.
"Really?" Won asked surprised. He began to feel angry, disappointed and hurt. Dan Oh immediately laughed when she saw Woon's behavior which she thought was very cute and sweet. She had just succeeded in playing the guy around.
"I love you too Woon, love you so much, sincerely ..." said Dan Oh then smiled warmly. Woon was silent for a moment, this time Dan Oh managed to make him blush.
"I already knew," Woon said flatly as he walked past Dan Oh, acting like a sulking child.
Dan Oh smiled amusedly at the childish side of the king of the strongest kingdom on the Mirac planet. She immediately ran after Woon then jumped highly and hugged Woon's shoulder from the side. Woon had to lower his posture so that she could freely hug his shoulders. The man smiled sincerely as he looked at Dan Oh from the side. Woon then turned his body and Dan Oh so the two could face each other. The man brought his face closer to Dan Oh and kissed her forehead with a great love and longing. This is the new beginning of the emergence of another link between the Earth dimension and the Mirac dimension.
