One Step Closer, Two Steps Further

TWO STEPS FURTHER

TWO STEPS FURTHER

Jul 05, 2025

Sora enters a private ward in a popular hospital, the room filled with tons of flower bouquets, gifts and letters. Sora tries to control her anxiety mixed with anger and fear. All though the storm inside her fades away when she sees the patient sending warm smiles towards her like a small puppy who just received some treats. But his this behaviour irritates her, she feels betrayed to get the news in the last place. Tears start flowing on her cheeks as she slightly yells, "Why on earth you didn't bother to tell me this?" Her voice trembles making her unable to deliver more words so she hugs Taeho instead. Taeho finds it silly to hear these words coming from her mouth. "It's all fine. I'm okay" his voice soft and confident. Without breaking the hug Sora says, "Why you have to be sick when I just started to live!" Taeho pulls out to have a good look at her not knowing how long he'll be able to look at his girl. It's a mess for both of them but Taeho is now in no position to speak anything on anyone's behalf. His silence trembles Sora even more, "It's supposed to be me. I'm living because of you. Taeho! You have to come back to me" even though she has better sense of reality, she decides to have faith on Taeho's positive will. If he can make her live then why not for himself? She was losing it when Taeho speaks, "I've made you live. It's enough for me to go." Taeho wants to live but he doesn't really can do so. He has longed a future with Sora, the future that he's crumbling himself. He's willing and hoping just like Sora but the pain in his heart makes him pour it all in front of her. The air around them feels so heavy by the running of time, wanting it to stop for the eternal. But all the weight of span won't let any of them see the light that is waiting ahead of them. But at least it won't be able to stop Sora this time.

Sora organises a sunflower vase as Taeho sits on the hospital bed, admiring every move of Sora. "You should take some rest too!" Taeho speaks, his voice soft and airy. Sora chuckles without looking at him and replies, "Your fans are sending so many gifts. I need to take care of them." A small smile appears on her lips as she feels proud of him.

Days pass by like this. As Taeho sits looking out of the window, Sora enters with her both hands behind her. She pulls a sunflower and hands it to Taeho. She makes a pout face and asks, "Wanna go out?" The cute vision in front of Taeho makes him laugh to brush his shyness off. He nods and accepts her offer since they exchange a heartfelt smile.

Days pass by like this. Sora stands under a shining sky, her surrounding keeps moving fast, but hers seem to stop at a point. The gravestone says, "KANG TAEHO (2000-2024)"

Sora rests a sunflower bouquet onto the grave. She lets out a soft breath. Her lips curve as she says, "Hey Taeho! You seem to have a good rest" her eyes get watery as she continues to speak, "Look I'm still living for you. But I'm counting on to join you soon."

"Maybe only this is how we can be closer to each other."
