YEARS OF WAITING

PAST:CHAPTER 4

As the conversation turned to ending the meeting, Yeon seemed to be paying special attention to me. He looked directly at me, and I could feel his gaze. After a few minutes, the meeting ended. I am not sure why, but whenever Qiao saw Yeon he seemed furious but I always felt that he believed Yeon.

Following our meet-up, we stepped out of the palace. A group of people started to attack us. As we all took our swords out and began slaying each other. But we both groups couldn't identify anyone. After two people began attacking me instantly, I began running into the woods. I saw many men coming out of the woods to attack me and started attacking them as well. But suddenly I spotted Yeon appearing out of nowhere and he started to help me out. As we both began to fight, I saw Yeon got injured suddenly, so I went to help him
and started fighting again. But they
seemed to be coming more, so Yeon
grabbed my hands and ran.

We ran as fast as we could and escaped.We arrived at the particular area of Wruya that few people know and stopped to catch our breath. When he got me here, I was really surprised.
"How do you know this place?" - I asked, and he replied, "Do you know this place?".

I nodded while gasping for breath9. I had been here before at least a few times. After a few minutes I made myself comfortable in the grass and drifted to sleep and he walked around.

While Qiao and others finished fighting and started looking for me, I was nowhere to be found. But one of us said that Yeon went that direction furiously but Qiao seemed calm and said-"fine, she will be safe"
"But....."
"There's no but... let's go back."

I slept well and when I woke up it was
night time. Then, I searched for Yeon but couldn't't find him. But after sometime I found Yeon in the peaceful atmosphere of the night. He was captivated by the stars twinkling in the sky, the reflection of the moonlight on the lake, and the
serenity of the surroundings. I sat beside him and asked him -" the moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

He suddenly looked at me in surprise and looked back to the sky-"I don't know," he said jokingly, "I'm more
of a sun person."

"so you know why the sun and moon can't be together"
he scrunched his eyes and looked at me and I continued with a smile-" because the sun dies as it sets on
the moon to live on. Maybe if they both get together there will be a huge
chaos. However, they are really
passionate lovers, right helping each
other to live and wait to be one."

"You seem to be a really different person when we meet in person"

"But they are not meant to be together. They are different, and their paths will eventually diverge. No matter how much they care for each other, their fates are not intertwined."

"Did they hit your head? You seemed
lost."

"No, I just got lost in my thoughts."

"Well, don't worry! I'll help you find your way back!"

I looked like I am done with you.

At an instant he asked me -" why did you become a soldier?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Nothing, just curious...I didn't
see women interested this field... that's why"

"Maybe to make a change or in search of someone"

"What...."

"Nothing..."

After one hour of silence, he took me
away and helped me reach camp. I
bowed to him and we departed our ways .
