SILENCE LOVE'S

Chapter 33

This summer was really exciting. The bright sunlight shone on the trees. The buildings look more shiny. If you see that flash, your eyes will instantly squint and it will feel very hot. The temperature here could reach forty degrees centigrade! It's hot enough!

But at this time, the real holiday begins. Many people go to the beach to just blacken their skin. To them, blacks look sexy.

For the first time in two years, I set foot in London again. Helena invited me to stay at her house this time, still the same address, which is Stainford Housing.

"I'm miss you so much, Sarah!" helena said hugged me when I got to the international airport, "How did you travel yesterday from Switzerland?"

I nodded my head and smiled cheerfully, "What a pleasure! I can write my book again."

We walked to Helena's car.

"Your book hasn't been around for two years?" said the girl. I just smiled and nodded.

Helena sighed. There was a doubtful stroke on his face.

"What's wrong?" my many.

Helena looked surprised and she shook her head, "Ah, it's okay. Let's go to my house, and then we'll take a walk in accordance with the destination you want."

There was a lot that changed when I entered that house. Some of the buildings have been renovated and designed to make them look more attractive and modern. There was no longer a haunted impression when I first set foot here. I smiled back to remember those memories.

We finally arrived in front of Helena's house. Still the same shape, only the house paint has been replaced.

"Welcome back to Stainford, Sarah!" helena said as she opened the fence and the door of her house. While waiting for him, I just laughed when he said that. I also spread my eyes, looking for my old house at that time. I smiled when I found that the house had been painted new and there was already an owner who lived in the house.

My eyes fell on the house across. As I recall, the house used to have a grayish brown color with a palm tree in front of it. I still remember the doorposts of the house used to be cream-colored whitish. Now everything has changed.

"Wells the past, huh?" helena asked to see me staring at the house.

I smiled again at her reprimand, "Well, I haven't been here in a long time. That's why I'm looking around."

"By the way... Are you still in touch with Baekhyun?" ask Helena. I think this is what he had in mind since then because this girl asked very carefully.

"Not anymore. I lost contact, so I couldn't reach him anymore. But I still communicate with his friends."

Helena sighed, "Why don't you try to contact the man again?"

I still maintained my smile, "I'm just busy with my activities. Not having time to just ask her contacts."

Helena was smiling. Maybe he was aware of my attitude of not wanting to talk about it. He then invited me into the house.

"Rest, Sarah. Tomorrow we're going to Edensor." Helena smiled at me. I just nodded and thanked him. The girl left me in one of the rooms in her house.

I opened my body and closed my eyes. Well, the trip this time is quite fun and tiring of course. I pulled out my phone and checked the messages. It's from Mr. Kelly, office friends, as well as Kyungsoo, Lay, Sehun, and Chanyeol. I'm still communicating with them. Pretty good, because they always send me messages, and sometimes some information about Baekhyun.

I opened my social media, and I saw Kyungsoo post a photo there. The photo that made my heart beat was quite unfazed. Well, it's just a regular selfie, but for me it's still thrilling because I haven't seen it in a long time.

I sighed and closed it not long after, threw the phone in my bed and closed my eyes again. Information about Baekhyun's departure from the agency and entertainment world was quite stirring two years ago not only in Korea, but also around the world. All the fans were heartbroken, and Baekhyun's whereabouts just disappeared.

Information about Baekhyun can only be known from a few posts of Baekhyun's friends, be it Chanyeol, Sehun, and Kyungsoo. Thus, the number of followers of the three of them increased many times. Lay also posted, just not too visible. Only I know about it because the man told me directly what happened to Baekhyun. Of course because he did not want to be bothered by the fans who still love Baekhyun. But I don't know what Baekhyun's activities are now. They don't want to tell me.

All those memories came back to my head. It's all about Baekhyun. How we met the first time, all the journey that has been passed, the togetherness that even if only briefly. I can't believe everything is still beautifully stored in my memory.

I got up from my position, took my bag and pulled out a book.

Make Your Dream With Your Passion.

Ah, because of this book, I am right so I cannot forget Baekhyun. I open each book. On every page with photos of those places, I stick a note there. All the activities, all the feelings that I experienced, I wrote there. I started my traveling journey in mid-winter, January 2018.

It's almost the whole place in this book, I visited. Lastly, I went to Switzerland and followed the travel package there, of course while writing my blog, and my book.

I smiled as I read every note I gave the book. And on the last two pages, I found a picture of a village. One of them, no stranger to me. Edensor will be my next destination and I will be tomorrow.

Well, I'm still in love.

Falling in love with Byun's man. I know I fell in love alone. It'll take a long time to forget, when, I don't know either.

Suddenly I got a notification in my e-mail.

To: Kimchilovers

Message : 

Hi, Sohyun. You're in London now?

I smiled reading the message. I don't know who it is, obviously, this guy is a fan who always comments first on the blog I write. About my travels, he always asked. So finally, he asked for an e-mail contact through the blog and I happily gave it. And be our friends through that e-mail. It's been over a year that this guy and I have been in touch by e-mail. The only thing that pisses me off is that he doesn't want to tell me his identity. He just said that he was one of the fans and liked my writing.

Kimsh

Well, that's how it is...

Kimchilovers

I'm looking forward to the update of your blog! I really like her.

Kimsh

Sure oes. Thank you for waiting and loving my writing!

Kimchilovers

Yup! 

I breathe and smile. Well, at least here's a little entertainment for me. I don't care if a Kimchilovers is a boy or a girl. It's just nice to be able to talk to people who like my work.

***

Edensor is not like a fairy tale to me. The place is still the same, still beautiful. Every place in the village makes me spin a little memory of Baekhyun.

Ah, goddamn.

I miss that guy.

"I think you still remember the way well, Sarah?"

I turned to Helena, thanking her for letting out my daydreams of Baekhyun.

"Well, I still remember it. This place is beautiful, nothing has changed. How did I forget it?" my word.

We arrived at a house with a stone courtyard in front of it. This place was a festival place. Now there is no festival held in this village. This place is a little bit quieter. I circulated my back when Helena took a photo of the scenery here. Still I remember at the end of that rocky path, I stared at a sorrowful Baekhyun, staring at the grassy expanse in front of him.

I still remember the black net that looked hopeful to me at the time. Letting myself examine his wounds.

I breathe, again.

"Come, Sarah! We're going around again!"

We both walked up a hill. From the top, we can see a view of the village of Edensor, complete with the Tower of St. church. That peter. Still as magnificent as before.

I subconsciously smiled faintly remembering this place. Of course, again about Baekhyun.

Aish, this place makes me always think of Baekhyun.

"Helena, I want to go home" I told the girl when I finished taking pictures. I can't afford to think about that guy all the time.

The caucasian girl was quite sentient and she understood what I was thinking now. But he appreciates my feeling of not talking about it.

"Alright, we're going home now!"

"London, August 20, 2019.

Today I revisit a place that is no stranger to me with my friend. In accordance with my travel journal, Edensor again greeted me after two years I did not go there.

It all looks the same. Only the season sets it apart.

Edensor in summer looks bright, but still cool because of the grove of trees that still adorn the place.

I always felt like I was in a fairyland when I saw that place.

As if, it evokes the wonderful memories I once had.

That place reminds me of what it's like to be in love.

But unfortunately, I would love to forget that feeling because loving someone is exhausting.

Maybe my explanation for my trip was today. The photos of the trip and the explanation I will post in a few days! 

Greetings, greetings,

I let go of my glasses when I finished writing on my blog. Not long after uploading, a message entered through my phone.

Kimchilovers

Why haven't you sent the picture? I was waiting for that!

I snorted a little reading a message from this guy.

Kimsh

I'm too tired. In a few days, I'll be running my last trip. I need a break tonight. I promise I'll soon upload the picture.

Kimchilovers

Oh, well. I waited for you...

If you may know, what is your last travel destination?

I smiled, apparently curious too.

Kimsh

I'm not gonna tell you. You'll know after I post on my blog.

Kimchilovers

Wow, that's not fair! You cheater! Usually you tell me your next destination......

I laughed again reading his message. Well, I guess she's a girl. There are so many emoticons in the message.

Kimsh

All right, I'll tell you. But on one condition.

Kimchilovers

Whahuh?

An idea flashed through my head. I quickly sent him a message.

Kimsh

Show me your identity. It's not fair that you're the only one who knows my identity.

I waited for his answer impatiently. The message reached him, but there was no reply. I waited for ten minutes, and a message came in.

Kimchilovers

Alright. I'll show you my identity.

I nodded my head and smiled winning. I was very curious about the figure of kimchi lovers. Well, I'd better sleep because my eyes are heavy. The wind tonight is blowing pretty hard. Reportedly, hot temperatures began to fall to welcome the fall that will occur in a few days.

***

Welcome, Autumn!

It's an inscription on a banner that advertises a tourist spot. By following the instructions for traveling on the internet, I finally set my foot in a beautiful village in a country called Austria.

Hallstatts.

A beautiful village with mountains and lakes that become the center of its beauty. Amazingly, the blue lake seemed to combine with the golden color of the trees here. Well, autumn has just arrived with some pretty significant changes.

The Alps are clearly visible, spoiling my eyes when I see them. Lake Hallstattersee also seemed to welcome me with joy because it was so beautiful! The countryside is like a fairyland with beautiful wood ornaments and rocks, making me fascinated and not blink at all. There was a tour guide when me and a few troupes arrived at this village. I set up my camera and started walking around while taking pictures of the scenery of this village.

I took a selfie and posted it on social media. Many commented and were surprised that I had reached Hallstatt village.

And so do my friends. They are very happy to know the latest information from me.

I looked at the sight for a moment.

This is my last destination.

I thought back to what Baekhyun said two years ago, in his letter.

If we are a match, we will meet again in the last destination of this book. Is it really going to happen? It doesn't feel possible.

Maybe I was the only one expecting that to happen. But I'm not sure of him. I'm sure he's forgotten about me, and lived another life. Again, our relationship is not very special. It was only me who enjoyed the relationship so much that I ended up being hurt alone for loving a Baekhyun.

I'm still the stupid girl I was two years ago.

I headed to a cafe after I finished shooting the view. The time is 15:00 GMT. Ah, I'm glad that I went around this village, I forgot to book an inn here.

After I take a sip of my coffee, I will immediately look for lodging. While sipping my favorite moccacino, I got a message.

Kimchilovers

Where are you now? Why not tell me the destination?

Ah yes, I forgot.

Kimsh

I'm at Hallstatt. Come on, said you want to show me your identity?

Not long after, the message came back in.

Kimchilovers

Coincidentally, I was also in Hallstatt! Want to meet now?!

I raised my eyes reading that message. Well, meet my fans in person? This is enough to make me excited at once!

Kimsh

Really true?! All righty! We met by the lake, how?

Kimchilovers

Okay....

I got out of the cafe after paying for it without spending that coffee. My pleasure and curiosity outweighs my craving for caffeine.

I also walked to the edge of Lake Hallstattersee, while looking for people who are about to hold a cellphone and have the same behavior as me. After waiting for quite a while, I tried to send another message to that person.

Kimsh

Where are you? I've been waiting here!

He did not return my message, did he deceive me?!

Not long after, I felt the message coming in.

Kimchilovers

Turn around, I'm behind you.

Ah, she must be a beautiful girl, who is also a traveler! I wish I could meet him.

I quickly turned around to find the mysterious figure of the owner of this account. I had a big smile to meet my fans. But when I turned around, I felt that time stopped for a moment and my smile suddenly faded. All slowed down for some reason, all looking faint. My eyes are locked at one point. 100 Meters from me, I can recognize the figure in the hooddie blue jacket. He was holding a cell phone, and he smiled at me.

Nope, no.

Two years of not meeting her, not making me forget her so easily let alone that smile of hers!

With a slow motion, I felt him walking closer, still with a smile on his face. Inversely with me, I just silently stared. Really, I can't breathe because I'm holding it. Trying to control my sudden abnormal heartbeat and blood rippling rapidly. Some hormones stimulate the tear glands to secrete them and collect them in my eyes.

Now, he's in front of me, and I'm still frozen. The wind and a sound finally dawned on me. The voice I missed for two years.

"For a long time no see, Kim Sohyun."

"Baekhyun.." I muttered slowly.
