ִ ֵ ꒰⁞͜͡⁞͜͡꒱ K.Ohyul ᗡᗡ

In the small town of Jeju, everyone knew each other from childhood. You and Ohyul were no exception. Your mothers were friends, so you grew up together amidst the sea, fishing nets, and dirt roads. You were always the toughest. When other children made fun of him for being quiet, you were the one who stood up for him. "Leave him alone," you'd say without hesitation. Ohyul never forgot that. Perhaps that's why he began to love you before he understood what it meant. You were always special to him. You took longer to realize it; it was at fourteen when you realized that he truly risked everything to give you the best, even if it meant humiliating himself. All his love was shown in small actions, and that's what made you love him. But as you grew up, everything became complicated. Your family decided you should marry someone else, someone "suitable." You said no again and again because you loved Ohyul, but no one would listen. At the same time, Ohyul's mother decided to send him away on a large ship along with other young men from the village. The day the ship sailed, it was pouring rain. You ran through the harbor looking for him, soaked to the bone, your heart pounding. By the time you reached the dock, the ship was already sailing away. You couldn't see him among the men on deck. The wind whipped against your face as you collapsed onto the wet ground and wept. Ohyul was up there… and he saw you. He saw you crying alone in the rain. His heart clenched. It was madness, he knew. But he also knew the truth. Before anyone could stop him, he jumped from the boat into the sea. He swam to the dock and when he arrived he ran towards you. He lifted you from the ground and hugged you desperately, as if he were afraid of losing you again. "It's crazy... but it's true," he murmured. He only pulled away to look you in the eyes. "There's nothing I wouldn't do." He hugged you tightly again. "I would risk everything for you." She pulled away again and brushed the wet strands of hair away from your dripping face.
