"KAIL!"
With her shout, something surprising occurred.
Kail's face, which had been clear up to this point, began to gradually change. At the point when he heard her call, it seemed as though he had been harmed, similar to he was cut. Pivoting gradually, he mumbled, "So I was correct. It's me. You and me."
The observers heard him and looked at one another intentionally.
Silje kept on shouting his name direly. When she began, she was unable to stop. The franticness and hurt in her voice were tormenting.
She shouted to him with everything that is in her. She was imploring him to help her.
"KAIL!"
The young ladies covered their ears and the young men glared awkwardly. Silje's shout was excessively strong and difficult to bear.
"KAIL!!"
One of the domineering jerks got her hair and shouted at her, "Shut up! Hush up."
It was a monstrous scene. Silje was shrouded in blood and the young men began to drag her away by her h
Silje tried to stay calm, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t. Her hands shook uncontrollably.Why did Kail have to endure this horrible pain? Why?‘It’s all because of me.’Suddenly, Silje couldn’t stop the voices in her head.‘It’s all because of me! It’s all me. If it wasn’t for me, Kail wouldn’t have to be beaten up like this. He would’ve been fine.’As she continued to watch Kail bleed, Silje knew she couldn’t leave him. It was funny how only a moment ago, she hated him with all her heart. They fought and hurt each other constantly, so why did she suddenly feel this way?Silje became breathless, and she blinked a few times.Until recently, all she wanted was to escape Kail, but a few minutes ago, she called out to him. She screamed his name as if her life depended on it. Why? It was the chance she was waiting for. She could’ve escaped h
How could something like this happen?The nasty fight was finally over, and suddenly, it was just Kail and Silje standing in front of the storage building. Silje stood in shock as she closed her eyes and wondered.Why did she call out to Kail so desperately?One thing she knew for sure was that as Kail walked away from her, she knew she couldn’t survive the loneliness and the pain she would feel without him. At that moment, she felt like she could do anything to avoid being alone again.That was why she screamed his name. And Kail came to her.Silje looked at his face which was covered in blood. She hated him for such a long time that it was strange to feel this way about him all of a sudden. It was confusing.When she didn’t say a word, Kail raised an eyebrow. He asked calmly, “What are you looking at so intently?”“It’s just… there is blood on your face.”She didn’t know
Silje chose to give in to his seduction. He was her other half. His eyes mirrored hers, and she didn’t regret her choice.As they became soaked in the shower, Kail stared at her hungrily and hugged her. His scent fascinated her and the feeling of his hair on her skin felt like a sweet caress. His hug was gentle and warm.Silje was surprised at how strong yet gentle Kail could be.She narrowed her eyes and teased him.“Was this your plan all along?”Kail smiled and mouthed his words against her neck.“What if it was?”Feeling his lips on her skin, she knew she was his. He hugged her tighter and after a long stare into her eyes, he kissed her again.It was an erotic and sensual experience for her. The unfamiliar sensation and strangeness of it caused her eyes to widen. His whole body against hers, his scent, and his soft yet rough lips on hers…His stubble against her sensitive skin fel
A secret place for the two of them.After a nap in the storage building, Silje returned home.She was a dutiful daughter and she would never forget her responsibilities to her family. Silje was determined to always remember to appreciate her adoptive parents.The time Silje and Kail spent together in the storage building was like a beautiful dream. The next day, however, she stored it away in her mind and acted as if nothing happened.Thankfully, it was the weekend the next day and things went on normally for her. Silje helped her adoptive mother Olga prepare the meals. She took her showers and followed her family to Sunday service at church.There were moments when the memory of that fateful day popped in her head, but she needed time to rest and process it all. Not having to go to school for the weekend was a blessing.It was especially needed because of the physical pain. Due to what Felicien and the gang did to her, Silje suffered severe
Kail looked at her with absolute concentration. He wasn’t acting like a cruel king anymore. There was no demand in his eyes, only love and patience. He wanted her to take her time and open up to him when she was ready.Silje’s heart ached for some reason, but she didn’t want Kail to know. She turned away and said to him, “Don’t do this. Why did you come all the way out here in the middle of the night? We can just see each other at school.”Kail continued to stare at her and replied, “Why? Because… I wanted to see you.”Silje blushed as she coughed in embarrassment.“Don’t say something like that…”Kail just looked at her with a mysterious smile like the north star.Where did the mad king go?Silje looked at him curiously as she still couldn’t believe this was happening. It all felt surreal.Kail was the cruel king. Piercing, crazy, and cold.
In the darkest of the night, the stars and the snow shined like diamonds. The scene in front of Silje reminded her of a mystical fairy tale kingdom.Silje took a deep breath. Every time she breathed, the icy cold wind refreshed her body. Silje hadn’t realized how beautiful it was outside near her house.The night air was so piercingly clean that it felt like it reached her heart. It reminded her that she had never been out this late. Her adoptive parents usually went to bed early, so Silje rarely left her home after midnight.The cafeteria where she worked closed at 5 PM and reopened later as a bar. She had never seen such darkness and thanks to Kail, Silje was able to learn the beauty of the Oslo night in winter.When Silje became speechless, Kail smiled gloomily.“You’re so funny. I can’t believe how impressed you are with something so trivial like being out at night.”“Don’t make fun of me,”
Silje shivered in the cold and Kail turned on the heater. As the car became warmer, Silje started to relax. She felt sleepy in the comfortable seat.It was quiet inside and she closed her eyes. A voice inside her whispered an order not to run away from this. She didn’t want to refuse this warm wonderful moment.But her combative side wouldn’t let her rest. She turned to Kail.“Kail, from now on, please don’t surprise me like this. It is hard for me to accept. Such spontaneous acts make me feel small and out of control. Let’s respect each other’s space and time. If and when you want to do something, ask me first. Don’t just let me know. You need to give me proper notice and discuss it with me. I won’t be treated like a child.”At her steady words, Kail leaned back and smiled. Suddenly, the space felt so small that Silje became too aware of his presence beside her. His cologne was seductive and heady.
“Long time no see, Silje. Are you ok?”Silje met Irina in the hallway after her first class. In an adorable white rabbit fur coat and carrying a large fleece bag, Irina looked cute as usual. She was alone and not with her best friends Martina and Nina.Silje wanted to talk to Irina anyway, so she was glad about this coincidence. She replied, “Oh, Irina! Nice to see you again. Long time no see.”“I was worried about you. I heard something huge went down recently.”Irina looked around before whispering into Silje’s ear.“You have no idea how shocked I was when I heard about it. Nina came to me and told me she saw you being dragged away by Felicien and his goons. I thought about going to the teachers or maybe calling the cops.”Silje looked at her with a grave expression and asked Irina to go somewhere private to talk. They found a bench outside and sat down together.“Were you
Beep, beep.The street was busy with familiar yellow cabs and other cars. It was rush hour, and everyone was trying to get home while the restaurants and bars started to light up their neon signs.Beep, beep.The drivers honked in frustration, but Silje, who was on foot, was walking with a light heart. It was rush hour, but it didn’t mean anything to her.In an ivory trench coat, high heels, and a pink scarf, Silje looked like spring. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, she smiled happily as she hurriedly walked to her destination.It wasn’t that she was late, and she actually didn’t know where she would be going tonight. She was going to call him very soon to find out what he wanted to do.Waiting for the green light, she took a deep breath. The wind was still chilly, but it felt gentle, reminding her that the spring was finally coming to New York.“Could it really be almost spring already? It has been so cold this
Two years later at a TV studio for the show “One” Norway.“Hello, everyone. We are here today to interview the world-famous model Silje Kim. Oh, there she is, walking out. Do you see her? She has arrived right on time for her interview. The audience is turning around to get a glimpse of her. Yes, that’s right. Beautiful long black hair, calm black eyes, exotic features, and a gorgeous body. She was one of the top Asian models in New York until recently when she retired after getting married. She wrote an autobiography titled ‘The Swan’ which is receiving enormous attention from the public. In her book, Silje Kim talks about the terrible racism she experienced in her youth, going through an abortion as a teenager, and moving to New York to become a successful model. Her candidness has captured her audience’s attention and ‘The Swan’ is currently the number one bestseller in Norway. Her writing is considered to be excellent
Kail was in a coma for well over a week.After ten days of not waking up, the doctors didn’t seem to have much hope for him. Instead of becoming hysterical, Silje began to feel calmer as the uncertain time passed.She felt like she was ready to let him go now.With that thought, Silje visited the hospital again. Smelling the unpleasant disinfectant and walking into the VIP room, she stopped suddenly.“…”For some reason, there were more doctors and nurses inside the room than usual. Silje raised her eyebrows in confusion. Something felt different. These people weren’t here just for a routine round.One of the nurses noticed Silje and informed her, “The patient woke up a little while ago. You can visit him if you want, but only briefly.”Kail was awake.Just when she finally came to terms with his death, God sent her an unexpected gift. Walking slowly to his bed, Silje looked at him cal
Silje took the shiny scissors to Kail’s wrist.“…”She cut his pale skin, making the shockingly red blood drip from it.Next, it was her turn. Silje did the same on her delicate wrist.She dripped her own blood into Kail’s wound, as if this act could make them one.“I can’t let you go yet, so this is what I am going to do. You are not allowed to leave me. I’m sure there will be plenty of people in the world who would be pleased to have you die, but I am not ready for you to leave yet.”Kail still wouldn’t move, and Silje looked down at him coldly.“You are not allowed to die without my permission, Kail. You made me the way I am now, so don’t even think about leaving me without my permission. I will never forgive you if you die on me like this. You always do whatever you want, causing me so much pain, but this time, I will not let you get what you want. You can&rs
Pale face covered in wounds.Tubes going into his mouth to hook him to a ventilator.Kail was barely breathing, but despite the desperate situation, he still looked like a beautiful deity underneath the blue moon.Silje stared at him. She looked calm on the outside, but she felt her heart breaking on the inside.The noises from the medical devices were disturbing, making her frown.“Are you happy now? You made me into this weak woman. You made me feel such strong emotions… Fine, I will admit it. Looking at you like this is killing me. You once told me that I drove you to madness. You are doing the same to me… You flew halfway across the world to chase me and you have caused me so much pain. Are you happy now? Answer me! Kail!”Silence.It felt like she was standing in a cold graveyard. Watching him looking helpless, Silje put her hand on her chest and said to him slowly, “You won. You have ruined me, so
This was the first time Christian told her his true feelings. Silje didn’t know what to say at first. She thought for a second before asking him slowly, “If you get to come with me to the hospital now, do you think it will make you feel better? Would it be enough to make you feel like you no longer owe me anything?”“Probably.”Christian nodded and continued, “This will be the last time. I will take you to the hospital. You look like you are in shock so I don’t think you will be able to get there on your own anyway in your current state.”He was right. Silje was pretending to be calm, but her legs were shaking. She looked up at him and replied quietly, “Alright. Then could you drive me to the hospital, Christian? I need to see him.”“Of course.”She had to see him.On the phone, Silje was told that Kail was in a terrible accident and he was dying.The man she hate
The phone rang in the middle of the night.The woman swore in annoyance as she took a sip of her whiskey. Putting down her cigarette, she picked up the phone with her perfectly manicured hand.“Hello?”Messy blond hair, clad in black slip wet with sweat.A naked man watched her as she answered the phone. Ingrid was with a young man in a hotel room when the phone rang. Breathlessly, she answered, “What? Seriously! You finally got rid of him! Perfect. Good job. I knew you could do it. It was worth the money. Good. So now, you need to cross the border to go to Mexico and then take the boat to the Caribbean island like we planned. I will take care of the costs, so don’t worry. Make sure to destroy your cellphone as well. Rolf can never find out about this. Gosh!!! Finally! Finally, the day has come!”Ingrid laughed hysterically at the news. She took another sip of her whiskey as if to celebrate.The blond young man
When she came out wrapped in a white towel, Tasha was talking to her boyfriend on the phone. Anna was away in Saint Petersburg doing a photoshoot for Russian Vogue, so the dorm was quieter than usual.A siren was heard from outside but Silje was used to it by now. Drying her hair with the towel, Silje looked out the window with a bitter expression.She was used to this life now. When she first came to New York, she felt lost in this giant city.However, she no longer felt lonely. She used to be completely alone, but now, she had friends, including Jung Yun. After work, Silje often chatted with her friends.Jung Yun, especially, became a close friend. Jung Yun, a fellow model and the daughter of Silje’s favorite Korean restaurant owner, often gave Silje helpful advice regarding modeling.And of course, Silje sometimes talked to Niels and Tran in Oslo. She also contacted Irina from time to time. These were people who were happy for Silje’
After returning home from dinner with Christian, Silje changed into more comfortable clothes. She still lived in the agency dorm with the other models. Since she didn’t live alone, it wasn’t perfectly private, but Silje still felt like she belonged here.“Hello, Silje.”Tasha greeted her. She was a model from Eastern Europe with a long ponytail. She was wearing a yoga shirt and black hot pants. They lived with another model named Anna who was from Russia. The three got along well and they often went for meals together. Their favorite place was in Chinatown.Silje also had a wide network of acquaintances. She was often invited to parties where she was able to enjoy good jazz music and wine. Silje liked these parties sometimes, but she still couldn’t get used to them like many other New York models.What mattered the most to her was her work, but still, Silje recently opened up her heart and worked on her social life as well.
