156 – Release (7)

The biggest reason why Seo Eun-woo made the movie Summer Without You was because of ‘dreams.’

Due to the aftermath of the Lee Da-hye stalker incident, he lost consciousness for more than 10 days, and during that time, he had a clear dream.

In some ways, it was closer to a nightmare than a dream.

In the dream, Lee Da-hye ended up dying, and Seo Eun-woo was so distressed by that fact that he died.

Just like the summer sky without you.

In her last moments of separation from her, she had convinced herself of something in her own heart, and in the end, it was not conveyed, and she faced a very sudden separation from someone dear to her.

Of course, there is no way to overcome that suffering easily.

There is no way the wound in the heart will heal easily.

However, there was a very grateful and precious person who continued to stay by Seo Eun-woo’s side.

Of course, she was still by Seo Eun-woo’s side, and that’s why Seo Eun-woo held that person’s hand tightly as the movie slowly came to an end.

Seol So-young… ….

Even in the dark auditorium, Seo Eun-woo could see her holding hands with him.

Seol So-young didn’t say anything about Seo Eun-woo’s sudden behavior and was just concentrating on the movie like it was the first time.

However, as always, she held Seo Eun-woo’s hand gently.

This was the same even in dreams.

There, Seol So-young did not offer any words of comfort to Seo Eun-woo.

She

Shared the same wound, and she knew that her words of comfort were poison to Seo Eun-woo, who was hurt more deeply than she was.

That’s why she gently held my hand like she did now, or just hugged me tightly without saying a word.

Continue until each other’s wounds heal.

It was literally a warm salvation for both of them, and if it weren’t for her, Seo Eun-woo might have become a completely different person than he is now.

Even though it was only in a dream, Seo Eun-woo felt grateful to Seol So-young.

At the same time, I hoped that Kang Ha-neul, who was feeling the same pain as himself in the movie ‘Summer Without You,’ would also receive salvation.

No one wants a bitter ending like this where Midsummer dies and only sadness remains.

In that sense, it doesn’t really matter whether salvation is trivial or not.

Any little thing can have a big impact on a person who has been hurt, and that can give them the strength to get back up again.

Seo Eun-woo followed Seol So-young’s gaze and focused his attention on the screen again.

The movie has now reached its ending.

An envelope containing Midreum’s will, which was given to her by Midreum’s mother.

Kang Ha-neul couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he saw that.

Why did she leave a will only to herself?

This may be because there is something I want to clearly convey, but inevitably, there is something I cannot convey to myself.

She told everything honestly and honestly to her parents and classmates…….

If it was jealousy, it was jealousy, and if it was regret, it was regret.

What on earth did she want to say to me?

And the answer to that question is probably here.

So, Kang Ha-neul carefully opened the envelope and slowly unfolded the neatly folded letter inside.

At the top of the letter.

In other words, at the beginning it was written like this.

TO. To Kang Ha-neul.

We were together until now, but writing a letter like this feels strange…….

But it’s a little strange.

When I was writing my will to my parents or friends, I had a hard time starting from the beginning, but somehow I wrote it while thinking of you, so it seemed like I was writing it smoothly.

Do you know why? I understand it correctly.

As Kang Ha-neul read it, he felt like he was hearing a familiar voice.

Of course, I thought it was definitely not my fault.

…… I hoped it wasn’t my fault.

At the same time, I felt a little fortunate.

Because there was still a lot of information written below.

Kang Ha-neul slowly read the text again.

From noble mtl dot com

Our beginning was accidental. But was it really a coincidence?

If you had read what I wrote in the notebook that day and I had denied that fact, I think our relationship would still have remained the same.

You are an ordinary classmate, and I am a chatty classmate who is a bit popular with my friends.

But for some reason, I didn’t want to lie to you when I knew all the facts.

Because, the fact that I am terminally ill didn’t seem to make any sense to you!

I wonder if, in good conscience, I felt a little bit of pity? This is a bad man.

Kang Ha-neul chuckled as he read the somewhat sincere text.

As Midreum said, Kang Ha-neul did not particularly care about her death at first.

In the first place, I thought that feeling comforted or saddened by that fact itself was disrespectful to Midsummer.

And at that time, I never dreamed that we would become this close to each other.

But I might have been relieved to see you like that.

I didn’t think you would be that sad even if I died.

Hmm… But now that I’m dead and reading this will, does it feel a little different? Then I think I would feel a little sorry. Lol.

Anyway, after seeing your unfazed appearance, I thought of spending the rest of my life with you.

In the end, I think we did really well in becoming friends. We made a lot of memories and got along well with each other.

Wait a minute, isn’t it just me who thought that?

If you do that, even heaven will be angry, so please think carefully.

Oh, and the person I ended up joining through my recklessness was very different from what I had imagined.

It was darker, harsher, and tactless than I thought.

But this one fact of kindness was exactly what I first thought.

What is clear is that

I was truly happy to be with you.

To the point where I feel like it’s a sweet dream that I never want to wake up from.

Thanks to you, every day has become more precious.

I want to be with you just a little longer, even just for one day.

Gradually.

The letter Kang Ha-neul was holding began to tremble.

And at the same time, the accompaniment of a song begins to play in the auditorium.

The ending song of the summer without you, sung by Lee Da-hye herself.

Golden Time.

Soon, the audience in the auditorium also becomes aware of the ending song.

The end of the letter left behind by Midsummer is slowly approaching.

The fireworks we saw together on the Ferris wheel at the amusement park in the middle of the night were really pretty, right? (Sorry. To be honest, I could only see you)

The night sky we looked up at together in Jeju Island is still vivid in my memory. (Yes. It felt like stars were falling from the sky)

If there is a moment in the near future when I muster up the courage to kiss you, I will definitely smile brightly. (I smiled brightly. So much so that I couldn’t help but stare blankly)

Next, Kang Ha-neul responded with a monologue to the voice of Midsummer, which was heard implicitly.

What kind of person am I to you? (Definitely a precious person)

When I die, will you think of me at all? (Certainly)

It may be a little selfish, but I hope you don’t forget me. (Even though you know it can’t be possible)

So please don’t forget. (Okay)

Did you really promise? (Even though I promised)

Thank you.

I’m glad you’re so kind.

But I think I’ve conveyed my feelings to you at this level. Even if you don’t notice it, you probably noticed it now, right?

Of course, you may not like this,

I also want you……

I like it.

I really like it.

Even as I write this, I miss you so much.

Do you remember my last bucket list?

I wrote as a joke, “Try true love before you die.”

I thought it would never come true…….

Heaven, thanks to you, it has now come true?

So.

Thank you.

…… Until the end.

With words truly reminiscent of midsummer, Kang Haneul read her will in its entirety.

At the same time.

Tuk- Tuk-

Along with the tears of the river and sky, the words written on her letterhead slowly began to color.

They were not artificial tears, they were literally real.

Seo Eun-woo is talented at acting, but he cannot completely control his tears.

This was proof that Seo Eun-woo was truly immersed as if he were Kang Ha-neul, and it was the best result created based on deep emotions as if he had actually experienced it.

So, how do the audiences who are directly facing it feel?

Empathy.

Perhaps he deeply sympathizes with the emotions Kang Ha-neul is currently feeling and the emotions he felt in his dream?

Seo Eun-woo was thinking that he would like it to happen.

Soon, the movie ‘Summer Without You’ finally came to an end with the next scene of Midreum’s will, a scene from a few months later that lasted about 15 seconds.

The lights in the auditorium slowly began to turn on, and Seo Eun-woo slowly looked around to see the audience’s reactions.

Someone had a blank expression as if they had lost their soul, and someone, like Kang Ha-neul, was shedding tears.

A variety of emotions were crossing the auditorium, and no one could open their mouth or move.

And the person who created that heavy atmosphere.

Seo Eun-woo slowly closed his eyes and thought in that atmosphere.

It’s not that bad of a silence.
