Chapter 86

ps: Thank you to those who supported me, "Running and Melting" and "Forgetting the End of the Drama." Today feels like the sky is falling. I received a recommendation from a professional push, which means this book has received the worst, or even an abandoned, recommendation. On top of that, the weather suddenly turned cold, and my colitis flared up again. But it's not bad enough to go to the hospital; the pain isn't too severe. So my mood is terrible, filled with fear, panic, and confusion. But even so, I must update. As long as I'm not dead, I won't stop updating or break my word! Next week, there will be two updates because of the professional push. Actually, I don't update much, so I'm sorry! Thank you for the recommendations and favorites.

In the sunset, the evening light shines on the beautiful mountains. Today, in the ordinary yet extraordinary village of Sacheon, Chungcheong Province, a pair of siblings who had been separated for six years and couldn't recognize each other finally reunited and returned to their childhood memories. In the camera's lens, Park Ji-ho carries Park Ji-yeon, their silhouettes bathed in the sunset, and their warm smiles are so beautiful that it's almost unbearable to look at!

The two of them seem to be part of a beautiful landscape painting, perfectly blending with the moment, inseparable!

Suddenly, a beautiful English song begins to play!

I'm used to calling your name from outside the window.

I won't see you tonight, I don't want to fall into madness again.

But I don't know why, today feels so listless.

I once held you close, but now we are worlds apart.

My future is bleak, and I don't want to drag you down.

But I don't quite understand why, today feels so listless.

Because losing you in my life is a torment.

Only time will tell, and I will understand.

Baby, we can be together, we can move forward.

Losing you in my life is a torment.

You are abandoned on the street, about to be destroyed.

Baby, we will change everything, start anew.

.................................

Park Ji-ho slowly sang this beautiful English song. Those who heard it felt that Park Ji-ho was like a poet who had been "on the road" for a long time, or a passerby who brushed past you in the subway station. You don't need to pity him for his worries; he is happy, like a sensitive and easygoing poet recording everything he sees, living with a firm and grateful heart.

The lyrics, melody, and voice of the song have a unique resonance and contrast. In this song, you can find your own reflection. It's like a water lily quietly growing in a corner of your heart, and Park Ji-ho, with his gentle voice, guides you to see your inner self. So, listening to his song feels like standing on the other side of life, watching your real self reveal unintentional sadness.

Even the two photographers, who usually don't listen to music, couldn't help but praise it. Although there was no accompaniment in the beautiful mountains, the scene and Park Ji-ho's captivating voice were enough. The song completely drew the four people on the scene into it, making them listen to the magic of Park Ji-ho's voice, unable to stop!

Actually, this song was written by Park Ji-ho during his two years in prison, out of deep longing for Park Ji-yeon, and also because his teacher was forcing him to learn composition. His teacher had heard the song and simply said, "Not bad," before leaving. That "not bad" was the best praise Park Ji-ho had ever received from his teacher!

However, Park Ji-ho didn't care about his teacher's evaluation. He only cared about his longing for his sister. He believed that he and his sister would change everything and start anew!

"Oppa, what song was that? It was so beautiful!" Park Ji-yeon exclaimed with surprise on Park Ji-ho's back. The other two VJs also nodded in agreement.

Park Ji-ho smiled and said, "It's called 'Freedom Loop,' and it will belong only to you."

"Really...?" Park Ji-yeon asked excitedly, "So, this is a song you wrote just for me?"

"Sort of. I suddenly thought of it and started singing, so you gave me the inspiration. Therefore, this song will belong only to you," Park Ji-ho said with a smile, though he was telling a small lie because he had written the song four years ago for his sister!

But Park Ji-yeon, unaware of the truth, laughed and said, "That's great, that's great! I really want the other girls to hear this song that belongs only to me and be envious. Oppa, the song is so beautiful. Can I listen to it again?"

"I said it belongs only to you. You can listen to it anytime you want," Park Ji-ho said, and then he started singing "Freedom Loop" again, his beautiful voice echoing through the mountains!

.................................

After singing "Freedom Loop" a second time, Park Ji-ho and Park Ji-yeon finally arrived at the huangqi field on the mountain. Seeing Park Ji-ho sweating from carrying her, Park Ji-yeon gently wiped his sweat with a tissue, and Park Ji-ho felt that everything he did was worth it.

After wiping the sweat, Park Ji-yeon looked at the yellow branches and said, "Oppa, where are the huangqi? All I see are weeds!"

Seeing Park Ji-yeon's confusion, Park Ji-ho laughed and pointed to the withered yellow branches, "These are all huangqi, but they grow underground, so we need to...!" He then inserted the tool he brought to dig up the huangqi into the soil, "First, we need to insert it and step on it, then...!" Park Ji-ho tried to dig, but it didn't move, which made him feel embarrassed in front of his sister. So he tried again, even letting out a small "ah"!

Hearing Park Ji-ho's "ah," Park Ji-yeon asked softly, "Oppa, are you okay?"

"I'm fine...!" Park Ji-ho, out of breath, finally managed to dig up a clump of soil, "Ji-yeon, this is huangqi!"

"Oh!" Park Ji-yeon was about to look closely when one of the VJs said, "You dug in the wrong place, Ji-ho. The huangqi is in front of you!"

"What...!" Park Ji-ho laughed awkwardly, "Ah... I see, I only read about it in books!" He then looked at Park Ji-yeon, who was trying not to laugh, and smiled, "Actually, Oppa has learned a lot from books. Today's mistake taught Oppa that any theoretical knowledge must be supported by practice. Do you understand?"

Park Ji-yeon nodded with a smile, "I understand, Oppa!"

"That's good, that's good!" To maintain his dignity, Park Ji-ho pretended nothing was wrong, "That's great. Let's dig up the huangqi!"

"Yes, Oppa!" The mischievous Park Ji-yeon unexpectedly cooperated with Park Ji-ho!

...........................................

The sky slowly darkened, and Park Ji-ho tightly held Park Ji-yeon's hand as they started down the mountain. The path down was steep, and Park Ji-ho was fully focused on taking care of Park Ji-yeon. It's best not to carry someone down a mountain at night because it's easy to fall. If he fell, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he couldn't let Park Ji-yeon fall.

Fortunately, they made it down the mountain smoothly. When they got home, a strong, delicious smell greeted Park Ji-ho and Park Ji-yeon's noses!

"Wow... it smells so good, I'm so hungry!" Park Ji-yeon pouted.

"Hungry...?" Park Ji-ho chuckled and took a bag of chips from his backpack, "Then let's eat this first before going in!"

"Chips...!" Park Ji-yeon exclaimed, "Oppa, how do you have everything in your bag?"
