Rating: G
Summary: Ep 21. He didn't understand. Every time the woman call out his name, he felt a strange feeling deep inside him.
-------------------
"Wol Ryung!"
Again... this woman's voice gave him such strange sensation that he could not understand. Who is this woman? Why the mere sight of her, the mere sound of her voice... sent shivers into his cold heart? Was this the woman the wretched human said was the one responsible to him being like this? What was the name again...?
In a blink of an eye, Wol Ryung advanced forward and grabbed on the woman's neck. He could see fear registered in her eyes and... why did she seemed like not wanting to struggle for her life? He could so easily crush her neck right now... why did he feel no compulsion to kill her? If he kill her now, perhaps his confusion would cease but...
She's crying...
Why did he feel hurt at seeing her cry? He was hurting her... but it seemed that the one more in pain was himself.
CLICK.
He could hear something, that human was aiming something towards them; no... her! That human was going to shoot her!
Somehow his body moved by itself, and he turned and shielded the woman from harm. Something small hit him from the back and it hurt. It hurt so much... why did he do this? This was almost similar with that other child, who did the same thing... shielding him from being hit by arrows. Saving him... who tried to kill the child. He still didn't understand, who was that child... who said that he'd stop him from killing. That child... who smelled like this woman; as well as himself.
They parted and the woman looked alarmed, she was hurt as well but not as badly as him. She gasped.
"Wol Ryung!"
The woman kept crying and calling his name... somehow, why did it move him so much? As if there was something he'd forgotten, yet his body still remembered. The woman's touch... for some reason it calmed him.
"WOL RYUNG!"
Somehow, there was something returning. There was a face, a familiar face. Someone important that he shouldn't ever forget... who...?
"S... Ssse..."
A name seemed to pop up inside his mind, but as he tried to grasp on it... it felt so far away! He kept staring at the woman in front of him, it seemed looking at her face could make him remember. Something...
Something important...!
Somehow the darkness start to ease away, it's like a part of his mind that was shrouded in darkness started to clear. How could this woman do this to him? How...?
...the name... it seemed to that he might be able to grasp it!
"Wol Ryung..."
There it was again! As if there was a long lost memory urging him to remember. A fond face... a greatly missed voice... that important person! How could... he even forget the memories of that person?
"Seo... Seo Hwa?"
"Yes..." Seo Hwa answered. "You remembered?"
Hearing that confirmation with his own ears made his heart burst into emotion. Just how badly his heart had been waiting to hear it.
"I missed you so much!"
Seo Hwa called out his name again and they embraced. He never realised how much he missed this, holding her close. Not caring about anyone else in this world. Just the two of them, together.
"Let's go back now..."
And that's... the only thing that matters now.

Seo Hwa passed out halfway before they reached Moonlight Garden. As he put her down inside the den, Wol Ryung frowned. It seemed as if he'd done something similar like this... before, but he could not recall if there were any such memory. Even though it was a very important memory.
In the end... it was just her face, her name that he remembered. Anymore than that, he could not recall. If this memory also disappeared, he might as well kill her for real. And a part of him that still remember her chilled at that notion. He would not be able to bear with that thought.
The only person who could stop him, Seo Hwa.
He barely remembered how she managed to stop him from hurting that child. And she did stopped him from killing any more people... earlier. If she was gone... no one else would be able to stop him. Perhaps.
That's why he asked her to leave him when she can. Because he didn't want to hurt her. But then she started apologising.
He knew something was wrong when she went quiet for a moment. He turned to see her showing him a knife, explaining to him how she kept it for so long. How would she turn things back to the way it used to be with that knife?
He didn't expect to see her stabbing herself instead.
"Seo Hwa!"
Why did she have to kill herself? Why... for him...
And then it all came back to him. Every little memory they had... and shared together. He could remember clearly how young Seo Hwa looked back then. How beautiful she was... that made his heart flutter ever so lightly. And now, that very same heart ached. He took a closer look at the wooden knife and realised what it truly was. A hawthorn knife.
"Please..."
"Please let it go!"
He couldn't let Seo Hwa die, not now. Not when they're finally together! They've been through a lot, they cannot be separated again so soon...
"Let go... please!"
"I love you..." Her voice was so weak. "...Wol Ryung."
It hurt. It felt as if the hawthorn knife had pierced his heart as well. Why did things have to end like this?
"And I'm sorry... that my love... only amounts to this,"
Seo Hwa placed a hand on his cheek as he held onto that hand caressing his cheeks. No, he wanted to say. This was not only the extent of her love. He knew. He knew it all along. Because not a moment during the brief time since their marriage... did Seo Hwa ever thought of returning to the villages and avenge her family. Not until that time. Back then, he knew that Seo Hwa had loved him back. But he always feared her rejection if she knew the truth about him. That she'd leave him if she knew. He was scared of that happening to him...
Seo Hwa smiled that beautiful smile of hers. The sweet smile that he dreadfully missed, as much as her voice calling out his name. There's so much that he wanted to say, there's still too much he wanted to tell her. She cannot go away, not now when they're finally together. She cannot!
Just then, Seo Hwa let out a pained sigh and he could hear her breathing becoming faint, her heartbeats becoming slow. Even as he was holding her hand he could feel her strength leaving her body.
"No, Seo Hwa!"
He kept on calling her name but there was no reply. Seo Hwa's body continue to grow cold, no matter how much he cried for her. Seo Hwa has died, she won't be opening her eyes to see him anymore.
His beloved wife has died, in order to turn him back from being a demon. There were still so many things he wanted to show her, to share with her. He wouldn't be able to do it anymore.
