If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

81 – Death of the Sun

Episode 81

Since then, Sun Taeyang has always been by Winter’s side.

He was by her side during the coronation ceremony, final greeting, ancestral rites, funeral, and transport.

There were times when people who appeared to be Taeyang’s co-workers or members of the girl group he managed came to visit, but he resolutely sent them away.

Even though he knows that Winter has already taken up a lot of his time her her her, he asks once again at the crematorium.

“Are you okay?”

“What?”

“… “That’s why you give me so much time.”

“I told you, right? “I have a lot of time.”

“… It’s a lie, I know you’re busy.”

Winter realized that he had been whining like a child.

She was inwardly shocked and surprised.

I was concerned that this kind of complaining might leave a negative impression on him.

That’s why Winter tried to apologize.

However, Taeyang carefully brushed her tangled hair and spoke as if that didn’t matter at all.

“No matter how busy you are, winter has a lot of time for you.”

“…”

He was too bright for winter.

It was so bright that when the light was covered by clouds or illuminated other places, the empty space felt too big.

But in winter, I wanted to continue to see that warm light like the sun shining clear in the sky.

Even if I go blind while looking.

That cold, dazzling kindness.

That consistent, dependable simplicity.

This was the reason why winter lost to the sun.

She loved him.

***

Grandpa Winter was enshrined in the shrine.

She wanted to bury him, but she said she would not make a fuss about building a grave.

Winter followed that will.

Looking at her grandfather’s urn placed in her tomb, she closed her eyes and bowed.

I cried so much during her funeral that I didn’t think I would shed any more tears, but as if I still had some strength left, the tears flowed again.

“Oh my, my pretty eyes are all swollen, what should I do?”

The sun said so and carefully wiped away winter’s tears.

Winter obediently accepted the hand

After her greeting her, when her tears stopped, Winter spoke to him.

“Teacher Taeyang.”

“Huh?”

“What can I do to repay this favor?”

“Well, you did something great. It’s okay if you don’t pay it back.”

Winter said, looking into his deep brown eyes with a hint of blue.

“No. You can’t do that. I received so much. And I just kept taking it. “This kind of relationship is not a normal relationship.”

“…”

What she wanted was a relationship that would not change and would not break off. And the current relationship was not like that.

“The moment Teacher Taeyang finds it annoying or inconvenient, it will just end. It’s okay for me to be considered that way. … If that happens, there’s nothing I can do.”

She spoke desperately and earnestly.

“… I want to change before it’s too late. I really, really want to protect my relationship with Teacher Taeyang. So please tell me anything. Anything I can do or give.”

Taeyang lightly scratched her head as if she was embarrassed.

And he looked at her with an expression of worry, asking, ‘What should I do about this?’

Winter was discouraged by the sun’s gaze and lowered her head.

Also, she seemed to have made him feel uncomfortable.

She was so disappointed in herself.

The sun spoke more seriously than ever as it looked at such a winter.

“What do you think a normal relationship is?”

Even as Winter watched him, she spoke her own thoughts.

“It is a relationship of equal giving and receiving.”

For Winter, a normal relationship was like that.

In the past, when I was maintaining a relationship with Yeji, or when forming a relationship with the members of Alcest, I had to give Winter something to get a soft response.

In that sense, the relationship with the sun was very unnatural.

Because she couldn’t give him anything.

“Hmm… , I will leave aside whether that thought is right or wrong. Winter. So, what is the deadline for giving and receiving in a normal relationship?”

“What is the deadline?”

“Yes, if that kind of indebtedness is the core of forming a relationship, then there shouldn’t be a deadline for returning something when the other person has given it to you.”

Winter was taken aback by the presentation of a perspective she had never imagined.

She just thought she had to pay it back quickly, so she was embarrassed when she was asked to set clear standards. So after winter’s hesitation, she said.

“I hadn’t thought about that. But I have to give it to you quickly.”

Looking at that winter, the sun slightly lowered its head and raised its eyes to the same level as it said.

“It hasn’t been clearly decided, right?”

“… Yes.”

He said with a grin and a smile.

“Then, let’s make our deadline 100 years.”

“… 100 years?”

“Yes, 100 years. Don’t let it end until we grow old and die.”

It was a distant time.

“Winter. Right now, I may feel like an adult who can do more than you, and this relationship may feel like I owe you nothing, but this relationship will change again.”

Her nose became sore as she looked at Sun Tae-yang talking for such a long time as if it were natural.

“You will definitely become a wonderful adult someday. And I will grow old and become a worthless old man. Then I might just have to rely on your good will to get by.”

I thought it wouldn’t be like that in winter.

No matter how much time passes or how much her appearance changes, she will always be cool and reassuring.

“As you live, something may happen and you may be opposed, and you may be opposed again. What is certain is that you will one day become a better person than me. “Because you are still a really cool, pretty, kind, and smart kid.”

Winter asked carefully.

“Will that day ever come for me?”

“Yes, he will come. “Obviously.”

“What if you don’t come?”

“Then I will stay by your side until you come.”

When she heard his answer, she seemed to be out of breath.

She was sobbing and felt like her heart was going to explode.

Winter spoke, suppressing the sound that rose to the tip of her chin as much as she could.

“… “If you say that, I hope that such a day will never come.”

No, actually I couldn’t press it.

The overflowing emotions made him hold on to words.

Taeyang heard her overflowing emotions and spoke differently.

“Same as me? I don’t want that day to come either. That way, you’ll be able to keep seeing this cute face, right?”

“…”

There was a sun that rose from a dark, low, and damp life.

She wanted to be equal to him.

Not a child who is weak and must be protected, who only receives from him and depends on him.

This is someone who can hug him, comfort him in his sadness, and give him strength when he is having a hard time.

And when that time comes, winter expresses its true feelings, affection, love, and all emotions.

I will tell him that I love him with all my love.

Winter desperately hoped that such a day would come someday.

“… Thank you Please continue to take good care of me.”

“Please take care of me. “Winter.”

But that day never came.

-Trot. A large truck and a van collided on the Yangyang Expressway in Seoul, and three people were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

-Among the three people taken to the hospital in the so-called celebrity van that collided with a truck in the Yangyang Expressway accident in Seoul, two active girl group members Dajeong and Ray were seriously injured, and one manager, who was the driver, died. The police stated that the reason was the truck driver’s drowsy driving. As netizens continue to post condolence…

***

It snowed that day too.

Boom boom.

So that the whole world is covered in white.

Boom boom.

Winter walked in the snow.

Pout.

This white world where I walked aimlessly felt like a dream.

But this was reality.

Always taking away what little precious things she had as if it were a given.

As if they were waiting for love, they turn small happiness into a waste.

It was a cruel and cruel reality.

“What is he?”

“Aren’t you a reporter?”

“Ai, you poisonous b*stards. Hey. It’s a private funeral here. The sun is only friends… “

“Stop.”

“Please comfort me, sister? “Do you know someone?”

“Yes, I know someone. So just leave it alone.”

Winter just walked forward, unable to pay attention to the noisy surroundings.

“… Because that child will be in enough pain.”

I kept walking.

“Isn’t that the middle of winter?”

“Midwinter? Of that Alcest?… That’s right, my appearance was so messed up that I didn’t recognize him for a moment.”

“I know. But why are you taking your shoes off? … “Your feet are bleeding for a moment, right?”

Winter walked toward her destination, ignoring everyone who spoke to her.

And she found a picture of a familiar face in a place full of white flowers.

The sun was there.

“… Ah.”

No, actually there was no sun anywhere.

“… Ah.”

The hand that carefully stroked her hair so as not to damage it.

His eyes looked at her at the same level as her relatively small height.

Her warm voice that comforted her.

“… “Ahh.”

It wasn’t there anymore.

“Ahhh!”

Forever.
