Let's Get Married

The plan for Harry's operation has been made, but Lily doesn't feel relaxed. Instead, she is tense. After dinner with Bree in the hospital at night, she goes to the rooftop of the hospital alone after her parents fall asleep.

In fact, she is not allowed to be there at this time. But she gets permission from Karl, and manages to get in after registering her fingerprint, closing the door again behind her. There is a fence around the rooftop. She walks to the edge and looks down at the city below, numerous lights gleaming against the dark night. Suddenly, a feeling of chilliness rushes from her soles to her entire body.

Above her is the immense inky sky, and she feels like a drop in the ocean. Harry is going to have surgery tomorrow. With Karl and Reynold operating on him, she shouldn't be worrying too much, but she just can't stop panicking....

Lily slightly straightens her back and takes half a step back to sit on the stairs. The breeze dries her eyes. Her disguise of being strong crumbles away in this secluded rooftop.

Too many unexpected things have happened recently, which agitates her even more than when she was in England years back. She can't control her thoughts. Tears keep welling up in her eyes. She has kept the fear and weakness deep inside. She hates herself like this, but she can't shake it off.

Bending down and staring at the ground, she hugs her knees with both hands and curls up in this corner. Lost in thought, she does not hear the door opening behind her. A black shadow makes the night even darker, and she petrifies with shock.

The shadow is elongated by the moonlight, covering her body and the concrete floor. Her heartbeat suddenly goes out of order. Just this silhouette has awakened all her senses.

It feels too familiar. She can sense his aura without looking up.

Holding her breath, she listens until a gravelly male voice comes from above her,

"Get up. Stop crying."

Lily seems to have been activated like a robot. Hastily looking up, she catches sight of the face that has been forever engraved in her heart, and it has appeared in her dreams countless times in the past six months....
