Seraphine Hale, a genius musician, announces her return to the country. When a reporter asks whether she's back for her first love, she smiles icily. "Are you talking about that trash? It wouldn't be any of my business even if he were to drop dead tomorrow." What she doesn't know is that I've already been dead for close to a decade.
View MoreIn the end, my voice still couldn't reach Rose."I'm really tired, Leo." Rose stood up, looking as if she was going to jump.In my panic, I felt like I had finally broken free of the chains that had been binding me all along.An eerily strong gust of wind blew into Rose's face, causing her to stumble back to a safe spot.Before my soul disappeared, I heard her voice cracking with joy as she asked, "It's you, isn't it, Leo?"…Seraphine's Point of ViewRose came to me and told me that Leo had never left us. It was an absurd theory, but I surprisingly believed it. I didn't dare to believe otherwise. Perhaps both she and I needed a reason to keep living.That night, Rose and I talked a lot.For the first time ever, I calmed down and listened to her explanations. The more she spoke, the more pain I felt. Still, I stubbornly told her to give me the whole truth.Then, Rose accidentally let something slip."What surgery fees?" I was stunned.Rose looked away, reluctant to say an
Seraphine arrived at the graveyard to the north of the city. On her way there, she even stopped at the florist and bought a bouquet of white roses there.She still remembered that I loved roses. However, she didn't know that I had grown to like roses because of her.The graveyard was huge, so Seraphine took quite some time to locate my grave.However, when she took just a single glance at the gravestone, the exquisitely wrapped bouquet fell out of her hands.Seraphine's usually proud and upright posture instantly crumbled. The calm and indifference she was working so hard to maintain had vanished in an instant. She sobbed so hard that she couldn't make a sound.I had died at the young age of 20, in the year I loved Seraphine the most, and also the day before Seraphine went abroad.Seraphine kneeled in front of my grave, seemingly in disbelief. Reaching out, she gently traced the words on the gravestone. Tears surged and splashed on the ground."How… How could this be…" she murmu
As Seraphine drew the curtains, the whole room was shrouded in darkness.I sat next to her on the couch.Seraphine probably felt cold, for she kept curling up.Suddenly, she frowned a little. Without any warning, she took off the ring on her right hand and flung it away.She seemed to cherish this ring in public, but at that moment, she tossed it away as if it were trash.The ring rolled into an unknown corner of the room.Seraphine seemed to have thought of something. Getting up, she retrieved a small wooden box from her bedroom. It was locked.I watched as she struggled to open the lock because she couldn't find the key. She was almost breaking down in anxiety, and she choked back a sob as she said, "I can't find it… Where is it…"She even tried to pry it open with her fingers and teeth.As a result, her lips were torn, and she almost broke her nails, but she appeared oblivious to the pain. I had a vague idea about the contents of the box, but I hoped that I was wrong.In
When Seraphine had found out about it, her heart had ached for me as she hugged me. "You didn't have to go so far, Leo."I had caressed her head, taking in the scent of the rose essential oil in her hair. I knew that brand. It was expensive, and it smelled wonderful. She was very fond of it, and I liked it, too.I hadn't wanted to make her worry, so I had continued working part-time jobs without her knowledge.However, Seraphine had still found me out in the end. She had said that I was working too hard to earn money alone, so she wanted to keep me company.Since then, Seraphine had stopped going out with her roommates. She had stopped buying new clothes and cosmetics, and she had saved up all the allowance she had left.She had called it our "love fund" and said that the money would be used for our wedding. I had put everything I had—all my scholarship money and part-time job salary—into the fund.I had told her not to force herself, and that she could use the money to buy thing
Benjamin didn't seem to mind Seraphine's icy tone as he continued, "I might start to miss you, Seraphine. Come back as soon as you're done with your business, okay?""Who said that I'm planning to go back?" Seraphine retorted."Why would you stay there, anyway?" Benjamin asked. I could just see him smiling. "Is there anything still holding you back, Seraphine?"Seraphine stood on the steps in front of the hospital, her long hair tousled by the wind."I could go and see Leo," she said in an indifferent tone.Benjamin couldn't stand it anymore. "What's wrong with you, Seraphine? After what Leo did to you back then, why do you still care about him? It has been ten years! Fine, go and see him, then. Go and see him in hell!"Seraphine tightened her grip on her phone, her voice suddenly turning low. "What do you mean by that, Benjamin?"Fully aware that he had let the cat out of the bag, Benjamin didn't seem intent on covering up.He laughed out loud, sounding like he was in a good m
Fortunately, a nurse noticed the situation in time. She hurried over and calmed Rose down.Seraphine was asked to leave the ward. She stood in the corridor, looking haggard and uneasy. Her nails dug into her palms as she bit her lip. Her eyelashes were quivering."What happened, Seraphine?" her assistant asked.Seraphine looked up in bewilderment. Then, she gripped her assistant's hands. "Do you think that woman looks like she's out of her mind?"Her assistant looked troubled. "I don't know, Seraphine."She didn't dare speak the truth.Rose might be emotionally unstable, but her behavior was clearly normal. Seraphine didn't receive the answer she was waiting for. Letting go of her assistant, she began to rummage through her bag.Her trinkets fell onto the floor as she did so.There was lipstick and foundation for her to fix her makeup with, and also a bunch of keys with a rabbit plushie attached to it.She bent over to pick her things up, but then, her phone slid out of her
Seraphine's reaction was a surprise to both me and Rose.More accurately, there was no reaction from her at all.She remained indifferent as she said, "Oh. So what? He can die for all I care."Rose's eyes reddened as she forcefully held back her tears. Fiery rage consumed her as she shouted, "How could you say something like that?"Seraphine curled her lips into a smirk and retorted mockingly, "What do you want me to say, then? Rose, are you making up crude lies because you're worried that I might take Leo from you, now that I'm back? You just said that he's dead so that I can give up on him, right?"Overwhelmed by anger, Rose shoved Seraphine slightly.Staggering several steps backward, Seraphine sneered. "You're mad because I just exposed your lies! You so-called siblings are each more infuriating than the last."Rose tried to lunge forward, but amidst the pushing and shoving, she lost her balance and fell instead.Leaning against a tree, Seraphine couldn't help cursing. "You
Rose was trembling and close to tears. "You're finally back. Did you know that Leo—""Enough, Rose." Seraphine coldly cut her off. "After such a long time of not seeing you, I can't believe you'd end up selling junk like this."Seraphine didn't even bother to hide the malice in her words. She picked up a random plastic hair clip in Rose's stall. Then, as if disgusted by its filth, she tossed it away.In contrast to the cheap items at the stall, Seraphine looked even more gorgeous and noble than usual.It was a world of difference, and it reflected the contrast between Seraphine and Rose as well. Seraphine was radiant and beautiful, and she could proudly hold her head high. On the other hand, Rose was plain-looking, and the hardships of life had humbled her.My soul hovered between them, feeling extremely sorrowful."You did everything you could to seduce Leo back then. Had you ever thought that you'd end up like this someday?" Seraphine was clearly ridiculing Rose and gloating
Seraphine had been living abroad all this while. Perhaps because I had hurt her too deeply, she had cut off all ties with everyone in the country.It was reasonable that she didn't know I had died a long time ago.However, our other former classmates had attended my funeral before.Everyone looked at each other and exchanged glances. They seemed to be debating whether they should tell Seraphine the truth or not.In the end, Ivan spoke up. "Seraphine, there might have been a misunderstanding back then.""What misunderstandings can there possibly be?" Seraphine took a deep breath as she retorted, "Are you speaking up for that wretch, Ivan?"Ivan tried to calm her down. "I mean, Leo was—""He abandoned me at our engagement party!" Seraphine cut him off. "Thanks to him, I have to put up with ridicule and scorn even to this day!"Seraphine was obviously enraged by the mention of the incident back then, her breathing grew fast and unsteady.Grabbing a glass from the table, she proce
