The redness hidden deep in the heart of KMHM

When I received the call from Director Amuro, I was wrapped in a thin blanket, holding a glass of orange juice and standing outside the small balcony of the hotel room looking at the Eiffel Tower not far away in a daze.

During the day, this "Paris landmark" steel structure building looks very tall and majestic, but when the night completely envelopes the city of Paris at ten o'clock in the afternoon, it turns into a dreamlike fiery tree and silver flowers.

Ten o'clock, a time with special meaning to me.

I still remember that year in the United States, I held Shin Se-ki's hand and said to him, "At ten o'clock in the afternoon on January 2007, 1, the time when I fell in love with you."

At that time, I thought that the momentary stiff expression on his face was due to my sudden confession, but I didn't know until I returned to Korea that ten o'clock was the time he had agreed with Wu Lizhen when he was a child.

In the middle of the night, the city of Paris is a bit cold, a gust of wind blows, and the coolness that strikes me relentlessly interrupts my thoughts.

I wrapped the thin blanket around my body tighter, and as soon as I opened the sliding door and returned to the room, the mobile phone placed on the bed rang Greeeen's "Love Song".

After locking the latch on the sliding door, I strode over to pick up the phone.

"Hello, hello."

"Sullixi, it's me, Chief Amuro." The tone over there seemed a little anxious.

"Master Anshi?" I took the phone away and glanced at the number displayed on the screen, "Ah, Nai, what can I do for you?"

"Sulli, the era is out."

"Crack." The glass in his hand fell to the floor.

"Sullixi?"

"Nai, I'm here."

His voice trembled unconsciously. It has been almost three months since he came to Paris, plus the time he had waited before.

One year and nine months, Shen Shiqi, are you finally willing to come out?

I still remember the first day I came here, I went straight to the Eiffel Tower after checking in at the hotel.I stayed on the observation deck on the third floor all afternoon, and I didn't leave in a hurry until the staff came over politely to remind me that the venue was about to close.

The same goes for the next day.

I have been looking forward to being there for a week, watching the tourists around me come in wave after wave, and I have heard the languages ​​of different countries many times.In the end, I even became a free photographer for Asian travelers.

I watched the city of Paris from dawn to sunset, from sunset to starry sky.

"Sullixi, did you hear what I said?!" Seeing that I hadn't responded for a long time, Mr. Anshi's tone became more and more anxious.

"Na... Mr. Amuro, you just said that a person named Alex came to find the vice president, right?"

"Yes, that's right, so I want to ask you, who is this person?"

I frowned, thought for a moment, told Mr. Anshi that I would send him the specific information of this person by email in 5 minutes, and then hung up the phone hastily.

Alex...Alex?

That bastard who threatened to blackmail Cha Do Hyun after he knew his secret, that bastard who I went to negotiate with him but failed and was almost forced by him, is... still alive? !

Holding the phone and anxiously waiting for Mr. Amuro's reply, thinking about bothering Alex and Shin Seki who finally appeared.I thought about it and decided to pack my bags and go home.

But before I could pack it up, a message from Mr. Anshi came.

"Alex was subdued by Shiqi, and Shiqi fell into a deep sleep again. The situation here is still under control. Thank you for your information... I also hope that you will be well in a foreign country, and I look forward to your coming back full of energy. By our side. ——Master Amuro"

"Whoo~"

I threw the phone aside, sat cross-legged beside the suitcase for a while, and then took out the luggage one by one.

I think I should be sane and calm now, but a warm, crystal-clear, slightly bitter-tasting drop of water dripped from my eye socket, and hit the back of my hand, forming a splash.

It has been three years since I returned to South Korea. In these three years, I have been to 100 countries, large and small, and seen the starry sky and night scenes of more than [-] cities.

But I still can't find the picture buried deep in my heart.

So, with such a mood, I returned to the United States a year ago, and returned to the city where I studied.

I contacted the landlord at that time, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the previous tenant of the house moved out a week ago. I paid her a year's rent, and she also generously offered to lend me one of her cars. .

So, I drove that red car to the top of the mountain where I first dated Shin Se-ki, to the beach where I talked about my love life with him for the first time, and to all the streets, restaurants, PUB and movie theaters and other places.

Even the Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong, China, can't compare to the heartbeat that the night view of this city has given me;

Even the golden sands of the Maldives can't compare to the touch of this humble little seaside.

Gradually, I became more and more dependent on this city, and I also became more and more greedy to retrieve all the memories between me and Shin Shiqi.But I know that I still have to go back after all, to the place that made me so desperate that I chose to escape.

After all... People can't always avoid one thing, they have to learn to face it bravely.

When the plane landed at Incheon Airport, I called Jang Geum.

After telling her that I was back in Korea, I put the phone away from my ear.

Sure enough, all kinds of excited screams came from her phone.

After a few simple greetings with her, I raised my hand and glanced at the time on the wrist watch.

October 2019, 10, 09:[-]pm.

Pushing the luggage trolley and the passengers on the same flight out of the exit, I saw my parents who came to pick me up at a glance.

My father stepped forward to take my luggage cart and continued to push it for me, while my mother's eyes were already wet, and she pulled me to observe and size up.

"I'm sure I haven't had a good time, you see, I've lost weight."

"The skin is also darker than before."

"Oh, what can I do with this?"

"Before going abroad, she could be regarded as a delicate and pleasant beauty, but now she is completely skinny monkey, skinny monkey."

"No, I have to ask your aunt to introduce you to some blind dates."

"You have to go to the beauty salon to take care of yourself these few days."

"Oh mom..." I felt a little helpless, and hurriedly interrupted my mother's words.

Why is this building getting more and more crooked? !Didn't you welcome me back! !Why do you talk more and more like trying to persuade me to go on a blind date and get married quickly? ! !

mom!You tell me the truth!Are you jealous that your friend has a grandson and you don't? !

Or, have you started to dislike me for being an old girl? ! !

Although my mood was very complicated, I still held my father's arm in one arm and my mother in the other, and went to the parking lot with all kinds of joy and joy.

I didn't go back to the apartment last night, but went home with my parents.

After eating the long-lost home-cooked food and chatting with my mother for a while, I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, I received a text message from Wu Lizhen.

"I heard that you are back, Sulli? Let's meet, I have something very important for you. - Wu Lizhen"

"Okay, let's make an appointment today. When is Oh Ni free?"

2019年10月10日上午08:30。

Wu Lizhen and I made an appointment at a coffee shop next to Nanshan Tower.

"Here." She returned a paper bag to me.

"what is this?"

"Open it and you'll know." She said with a mysterious face.

Curious and cautiously took out the contents of the paper bag...Huh?Why does it seem like there is more than one piece?

"Yao La asked me to pass these on to you, and she said thank you for treating her as a friend." Wu Lizhen explained to me pointing to the pile of bowknot hair accessories of different styles.

"This book belongs to Yao Xie. He wrote poems and drew a few pictures in it. He said thank you for saving him and thank you for taking care of his sister."

"And this." Wu Lizhen took out a velvet brocade box from her bag, "This is what Shen Jun asked me to give you for him, your 23-year-old gift."

I froze for a moment, then reached out and took the box.

Under Wu Lizhen's expectant eyes, I gently opened the box --- a necklace lay quietly inside, and under the light, the diamonds on the star pendant shone brightly.

"Stinky boy." I raised my hand to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, "It's really a black card that won't let Cha Duxianxi go..."

After saying goodbye to Wu Lizhen, I walked in Nanshan Park with a paper bag.

Look at the couples around you who hang the love lock on the lock wall, and then look at each other and smile.

I was also infected by this sweet atmosphere, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of my lips.

I was bored looking at the message on the love lock beside me. Suddenly, a crimson lock caught my attention.

"Shen Shiqi? An Shirley."

When did this hang up? ?I don't remember ever coming here with Shin Seki.

Or... just the same name?

It should be... just the same name.

Putting down the lock, I lowered my head and raised my feet and walked forward.

"Play with me." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from my ear.

I suddenly stopped, and stood there stiffly, carefully distinguishing the authenticity of the voice.

After all... Such auditory hallucinations don't happen once or twice.Although this time is more vivid and three-dimensional than usual.

"I already bought you a lock, so play with me."

The voice sounded again, and at the same time, I was embraced by a pair of arms from behind, and a warm body leaned against me.

A familiar feeling swept over my whole body like an electric shock. I even felt a little scared, and my body trembled involuntarily.

Feeling my tension, those arms held me tighter, and the lips next to my ears spit out warm air again "Remember, at ten o'clock in the morning on October 2019, 10, the time when I met you again .”

"Crack." A tear rolled down from my eyes and hit the back of the man's left hand.

"Shen...Shen Shiqi?" I asked softly with some disbelief, fearing that this was just an illusion.

He didn't hear his answer, and when he was feeling uneasy, he held my shoulders and turned me around, then raised the corners of his mouth and showed me a wicked and wild smile.

"What do you say?"
