Volume 2 2010 Chapter 377: Two Endings
“It turns out that the wind is so strong here.”
Yi Haoyan sat on the edge of the roof. His hair, which had not been cut for several months, was flying wildly in the wind like a raging black wildfire, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Hao Yan!"
Sun Enxi rushed over and walked hurriedly, trying hard to adjust her rapid breathing, as if she was afraid that louder breathing would affect the thin figure standing on the edge.
"You, what do you want to say?
Sister will always be here with you, we can handle anything, trust me!"
"Sister, there are too many people here. I don't want to see them."
Looking indifferently at the increasing number of people behind him, the boy waved his hand weakly, showing no interest.
"Okay! Okay! Wait a moment, I'll let them leave right away!" Sun Enxi responded in panic , then turned around and shouted, "Didn't you hear me?! Get out!!!"
There were soon only two people left on the rooftop, which was originally crowded with people.
"Don't inform my aunt and my brother, they can't help... and don't blame the people in the hospital..." Yi Haoyan paused, as if his thoughts were interrupted for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to react, "If I really want to do something, the people in the hospital can't stop me..."
Without waiting for Sun Enxi's response, he slapped his head frantically, "Ah... this useless brain... is becoming less and less useful..."
Sun Eun-hee was at a loss for words at the boy's sudden hysteria. She didn't know why or what to do, so she could only try to calm him down.
"Haoyan... why don't you come down first... I can help you... we can solve any problem you have..."
"No... no... Sister, you don't understand..."
Yi Haoyan stopped beating, lowered his head, covered his face with one hand, and his low voice was filled with unspeakable despair.
"You can't help me. Look, sister, I have everything I need. My family is rich and powerful, I'm smart, and I don't have any pressure in life. You all care about me. But..."
He suddenly let go of his hand and raised his head, staring at Sun Eun-hee who was standing opposite him, his eyes empty and helpless.
"I feel so miserable... I... I'm in so much pain... Sister, do you know? I'm in so much pain, but I can't figure out why. I have everything I need, so why am I still in so much pain?"
"..." Sun Enxi was speechless for a moment.
"Here..." The boy pointed to his head, "There's something wrong here..."
"It's okay, Haoyan, we can find the best doctor and use the best medicine! It can be cured!" Sun Enxi was still trying to comfort him.
"It's no use. I've been taking medication and receiving counseling for five years. During these five years, I haven't been exposed to anything stressful, and I haven't taken on any responsibilities as a family member. Yet, I still relapsed ... Do you know what this means?"
The boy laughed at himself, and that smile looked extremely cruel, cruel to himself.
"This means that I am a useless person. I will only become a drag and burden to you. I can't seem to do anything well..."
"No, you are excellent! We all need you--"
“Stop lying to me!!!”
Yi Haoyan suddenly roared, his voice hoarse due to the outburst of anger, like the howl of a ghost, shrill and piercing.
"You're lying!! I'm a loser!! A loser who can only talk nonsense!! If it wasn't like this, why did Enfei leave me? Why can't I keep her? Why can't I do such a small thing? What's the point of being rich and powerful!!!!!! I still can't keep her!!! Woohoo!"
At the end of the roar, tears poured down the boy's face like a dam breaking, carrying uncontrollable sadness and despair.
"It's not like that!"
An anxious voice came over, a little distorted due to nervousness, completely losing its previous calmness and dignity.
Bae Joo-hyun is here.
She came here from a trip with makeup on. Her face, recognized throughout Korea as a goddess, was still bright and dazzling, but now it was filled with uncontrollable worry and fear.
"It's not your fault that Eunbi left! You're not a loser! You're the smartest and kindest person I've ever met!"
"...Sister Zhuxuan..."
Bae Joo-hyun's arrival made Yi Haoyan a little dazed, but then he felt relieved.
"Those are just petty cleverness, totally unpresentable. Sister, you just don't know them. They are meaningless."
"It makes sense! It's very important to me!"
Bae Joo-hyun looked straight into the boy's eyes, her slightly red eyes filled with tears, eager to convey her sad and earnest feelings.
"Even if Enfei leaves, it doesn't mean you are useless."
The girl's voice trembled a little because of excitement and fear. She paused and used her hand to push her wind-blown hair behind her ears.
"You still have me, and you're important to me. I like you, I need you, and I want to be with you."
Although this is a fact that both the Sun family and the Pei family tacitly acknowledge, no one has ever pointed it out.
This was the first time Bae Joo Hyun confessed her feelings to Yi Haoyan. She looked at the tortured soul with heartache and wanted to give him salvation and warmth.
For a moment, it was as if the mute button was suddenly pressed, all sounds disappeared, even the wind seemed to stop suddenly, and the world was so quiet that one could hear Bae Joo-hyun's heartbeat.
…
(Ending 1)
"Haha." Yi Haoyan smiled slightly.
The dry voice sounded a bit harsh at this time.
"I know Sister Zhuxuan has always been really good to me, and I think you are really good, too! But——"
The boy met the girl's gaze, his eyes showing understanding and... emptiness...
"I'm a waste and a burden... You won't be happy with me... Such a good sister Zhu Xuan... You should live a happy life."
As he spoke, he stood up and stood barefoot on the narrow edge.
"I should disappear. This is the best arrangement for my sister."
Yi Haoyan had a relieved smile on his face, as if he had seen the other side of happiness. He stretched out his arms and closed his eyes, like a bird spreading its wings to fly.
"No! Don't!!!"
When Bae Joo-hyun saw the boy stand up, she realized something was wrong. She rushed over like crazy, muttering to herself.
However.
It's all in vain.
“No!!!!!”
With a heart-wrenching scream, the haunting figure jumped down from the roof.
Like a gust of wind, as if it had never been there...
Bae Joo-hyun's entire world disappeared.
…
(Second ending)
After a while.
Yi Haoyan has not responded, as if he doesn't know how to deal with Bae Joo-hyun's confession.
The girl approached slowly, step by step, keeping her eyes on the boy with every step, paying attention to his every reaction.
Finally, she came in front of him.
Yi Haoyan was still sitting on the edge of the roof, motionless like a statue.
Behind is a bottomless abyss.
The weather was bad, and the world seemed to be covered with a gloomy filter, losing all warmth and color, and everything was gray and cold.
"Give me your hand, please?"
Bae Joo-hyun spoke softly, her delicate voice with a slight cry, almost like a gentle plea.
"Come home with me."
She carefully stretched out her right hand, and the slender white little hand seemed to be glowing, with the only color and warmth in this gray world.
The boy lowered his head and did not move.
Bae Joo-hyun did not urge him, but just looked at him gently, holding out her hand stubbornly and waiting.
After a while.
Yi Haoyan finally moved. He raised his head hesitantly and looked at Pei Zhuxuan with trembling in his eyes.
Then, he slowly held Bae Joo-hyun's hand.
The girl suddenly pulled him into her arms, hugged him with all her strength, and finally burst into tears and spoke incoherently.
"Woohoo! You scared me to death!!! Uh-huh! You scared me to death!!!"
The boy who was hugged didn't react for a while, he just stood there passively, like a piece of dead wood.
The hysterical Bae Joo-hyun buried her head in his arms, tears pouring out and soaking her clothes on her chest.
Yi Haoyan finally reacted. He raised his arms stiffly and awkwardly hugged Bae Joo-hyun, who was crying and gasping for breath.
At this moment, a hole was torn in the thick clouds, and the sunlight shone directly out.
In the gray world, a beam of golden light enveloped the two people hugging each other, like a miracle.
