– Trusselle –
Message: How are you doing? Are you good? Want me to come over?
I sent a text message to Joon after getting a glass of water from the fridge.
He’s out of the house with my sister, they went out for shopping. Sandra needed him to go out.
I was insisting to join them but Sandra didn’t let me. I just hoped Aileen and Camille won’t eat him alive.
Message: Don’t worry we’re good, gonna get a haircut! 🙂
In few seconds I got a reply from him, I smiled at the thought of him getting a new haircut.
Message: Okay, take care! Don’t let anyone touch Sandra. I miss you 🙂
I replied back and gulped more water.
“Hey bro?”
I turned my head and saw Kirk coming in the kitchen.
“Yeah, good morning. Did you at least catch some sleep?” I greeted him, Joon told me earlier that Kirk was still up and stayed late.
Joon always felt sorry to everyone like everything were his responsibility, he’s worried that Kirk was sleepless all night.
“Yeah, 4 hours I guess?” he shook his head, he might be having a headache. “By the way, I was with Joon around 2 or 3 in the morning. You know, like sharing of thoughts. He’s good bro, no wonder.” he smiled and I knew what he’s talking about.
I smiled back, sharing the breakfast over the table.
“Yeah and he talked about your tattoos, he really likes them.” I told him and he raised his left arm showing it off.
“So now, would you like to get one or more?” he asked giving an interested smile, since we were in highschool he had been convincing me to get tattoos.
I had always refused, not a fan of tattoos.
“Well, if he would like me to.” I admitted and his jaw dropped, why did he need to have this gesture?
“S-seriously? Bro you must be kidding, you hate these right? I mean you don’t even want to have one.” he replied in disbelief.
I sighed. Well, love can drive us crazy right?
“I really want to do everything that will make him happy.” I provided an explanation, more than a statement.
“Well, he really must be a good guy.” he agreed, I nodded. “Anyway, where are they? I can’t see anyone.”
I smirked, yeah the house was so quiet.
“They went somewhere, Sandra wants to do some shopping. Then they brought my boyfriend with them.” I replied.
And we continued talking and decided to play some video games.
We spent an hour playing different games until we heard knocks from the door. Kirk said to let him do it and he walked to open the door.
I was still holding the controller while staring at them getting in, the last person came in was Joon and it made me literally smile.
I was smiling in awe. He waved at me when he saw me looking at him, he rushed to my place.
“Hey.” I greeted him, my eyes were in awe.
He knelt down looking at me with his sparkling eyes, his new haircut was really amazing.
“More korean, isn’t it?” he smiled when noticed that I was staring at his hair.
“Yeah, you look so good. Come on, I’m starving. I missed those lips.” I gave a small laugh and kissed him on the side of his lips.
“Oh my gosh!” someone shouted, it was Aileen covering her mouth.
Followed by Camille who had this dramatic reaction.
“Joon I told you, marry me instead.” she said that made my boyfriend laugh.
“You’re being abusive Trusselle do you know that? Joon is so cute for you just to kiss him whenever you want to.” Aileen added raising her eyebrows.
“Why not be? He’s my boyfriend and always makes me starve to kiss him.” I replied innocently that made them shake their heads.
“You know what, if Joon isn’t innocent and a kid then I would have stolen him from you. I’d definitely take him to America!” Camille squealed while placing the two boxes of pizza next to us. “Anyway let’s eat because you might end up eating your boyfriend.”
And we laughed, teens around our ages were really crazy. Right?
Sandra joined us and showed me the invitation for the wedding. It was a simple card that had a picture of Joon and me, smiling and I got my arms around him.

Point Of View
– Third Person –
6th day of March 2018
Tuesday, evening.
“Son venue is ready, everything is all set.”
Mr. Ellison informed his son once he got in his room. Trusselle was with his family, he’s a little nervous.
Nervous not because of the wedding but because of Joon’s nightmares. Ever since Joon got his sight back, they have never had a conversation about the nightmares.
“Thanks dad, I think I got all the pressures now. I’m excited though.” he shared a half smile, trying to ignore negative thoughts.
“Sandra just told me that they’re doing fine there. Ohh I can’t wait for this, I’m excited too!” his mom cheered.
The person that will bless their wedding ceremony was staying in a hotel for good, he just arrived from the other country.
All were ready, Trusselle was really excited. Marrying your love on will be more than anything else.
Joon was staying in one of their units with Sandra, Aileen, Camille and Kirk.
“I’m also excited to see the snowfall tomorrow, of course it will definitely happen since Joon would be very happy.” mrs. Ellison added, rubbing her son’s back.
On the other hand, employees were also excited for the wedding. Especially the Coffee Bazaar team, they all can’t wait for it. They also brought some presents.
..
“Joon! I can’t wait, aside from the wedding I’m also expecting the snowfall. Come on that would be sweet!”
Sandra cheered while checking their gowns and suits for the wedding.
“Are you guys really serious? I mean I knew this since last month but I haven’t witnessed it yet.” Kirk joined the topic because of his curiosity.
Of course as a part of the family, they knew what was special about Joon.
“Watch out for yourself, tomorrow.” Sandra assured.
But they were convinced by the news, that the snow happened in the Philippines for already 3 times. Which all because of Joon.
Sandra had thought of it, hoping to see the snowfall again tomorrow.
Aileen and Camille were busy checking news online, the wedding was famous since it’s all about Trusselle and Joon.
“Most of the people are excited and happy for them. Whoaa you guys got the headlines huh?” Camille said in awe.
“Comments are really in favor about it. How come reporters aren’t making any negative stuff about this?” Aileen asked.
Sandra chuckled remembering the incident happened when they were invited for an event.
“Trusselle told them to, I guess they realized that he wasn’t kidding about taking their jobs away from them.” Joon provided an explanation.
Kirk shook his head smiling, he knew how terror his cousin Trusselle could be.
“Okay guys, I think we need to sleep now. A beauty rest I guess.” Sandra suggested and they all agreed.
“Goodnight Oppa!”
“Have a good sleep, our korean!”
Aileen and Camille cheered.
As the lights were turned off, Joon laid himself in the bed feeling a little uncomfortable.
It was all because of his nightmares, since he got his sight back he didn’t have any of it at all.
He’s hoping that it wouldn’t happen again and his nightmares won’t happen for real.
But he’s 70 percent more afraid because he’s sure it will happen, he will feel numb, lose his heartbeat and fade in the process.
His bed was placed next to the wall, the room already fell in silence.
He turned his back and faced the wall, pulling his sheet slowly.
He can’t help but to feel emotional, praying to God not to let his nightmares happen on the 7th day of March 2018 as it was supposed to.
Until he got a teary eyes, feeling so down and scared about what can happen tomorrow.
Wiping his tears as it came out of his eyes, he hated himself so much for doubting that everything will be fine tomorrow. He knew it, he’s really going to fade like bubble but still praying to God not to let it happen.
No one knew how excited he was for their wedding day, to marry Trusselle.
He flinched a little when his phone vibrated, he took it and saw Trusselle’s name on the screen.
Message: Hi? Are you okay? It’s raining, I’m bothered.
He bit his lip after reading the text message from his boyfriend. He loved him so much and can’t just see himself without him.
He knew he shouldn’t be lying but he wanted him to have a good sleep.
Message: Yeah, don’t worry I’m not crying. I’m already missing you so much.
He replied, half of it was a fact. He really wanted to be with him, kiss him, be in his arms until he fall asleep.
His phone vibrated again.
Message: Good to know that, I can’t stand knowing that you’re crying and I’m not with you. Anyway, I miss you more. I don’t think I’ll be able to fall asleep without your scent and neck. Haha :*
He chuckled because of the reply, silently making himself calm from the small sobs.
Message: Just imagine my presence, I’m doing the same thing. Hahaha. I love you so much Trusselle, I really do. Good night 🙂
He replied and focused on stopping himself from crying, in order to end the rain. Trusselle was always bothered when it’s raining.
Message: I would love to have you personally. Well, let’s have a good sleep then. See you tomorrow! I love you more! Goodnight my Korean!
And that ended their conversation, Joon focused on thinking about good things and Trusselle.
Closing his eyes and picturing the beautiful day that will happen tomorrow.
Once again, he prayed to God and wished for himself, for Trusselle, for Ellison family and for the wedding.
He smiled at the thought of seeing Trusselle in a good suit, kissing him in front of everyone and getting married with him.
Deepening the thoughts and avoiding the negative ones, he fell asleep.

7th day of March 2018
Wednesday, morning.
“Guys! Wake up! Time check, 7 o’clock in the morning. Let’s get ready!”
Cindy screamed even if all of her colleagues were already awake, all of them were excited for the wedding.
“Here we come Joon!!”
John shouted followed by everyone, cheering in unison.
All of them were in Cindy’s apartment, this was for preparation for Joon’s wedding. They were all happy and excited about it.
They all stood up and reached the kitchen for breakfast. Their gowns and suits were all hanging over the wall. Each of them had a gift for Joon, especially his friend John.
—
Trusselle was smiling the whole time, people at home were getting ready. The ceremony will start at 10 morning.
It’s already 9 o’clock and he’s readying himself. So excited.
He walked and faced the mirror, seeing himself.
“All yours, my korean.” he smiled to himself.
Once done he made his way out of his room, finding his dad in a suit and tie followed by her mom in white.
His mom approached him and her hands were placed against each side of his cheeks.
“Remember son, I’m always proud of you. Getting married isn’t just a simple thing or title. It’s your heart’s decision, so I want you to enjoy with Joon for the rest of your life.”
He gave a simple nod and his mom planted a kiss over his forehead.
“Son.” his dad. “I’m having the same feeling right now as what I had felt during our wedding day of your mom. May God bless this wedding, we love you son.” and he nodded again.
Until he gave a small smile, holding his emotions.
“Mom, dad, I don’t wanna cry.” he told them. “Thank you so much for this, I am really happy because of the support I’m getting. I love you both, thank you.” and they shared a warm hug.
—
The venue was really quiet.
Almost thousand of chairs were placed properly facing the two chairs which where Trusselle and Joon will exchange their vows.
The sky was bright, it was not sunny. The atmosphere was so light and comforting. The simple decorations were so inviting as if there will be a fairytale wedding.
Until people started approaching the venue, taking their seats in excitement. Some were taking pictures.
Everyone were all waiting for Trusselle and Joon.
—
The car of the Ellison family had just arrived to the venue, reporters were ready to use their cameras.
Some reporters were having live coverage and some were already taking pictures.
Mr. and Mrs. Ellison started making their way, greeting invitees and some investors who wholeheartedly accepted the invitation.
Sandra to be escorted by Kirk, smiling at everyone meeting her eyes.
Aileen and Camille with their wreaths, whose smiles were sparkling in excitement to see Trusselle and Joon together in front of them, doing their vows.
The place was really simple, but what made it special were the warm hearts of people. Ellison’s family members were smiling but deep inside they were very emotional because they can see the crowd, the big numbers of people in the venue.
Sandra and her mom can’t help but to walk with teary eyes, happy that Trusselle was about to get married.
The background music coming from the violin that brought everyone in deep thoughts.
They were all full of romantic feelings.
Until all of the eyes landed on one person, it was Trusselle who was about to make his way.
The moment Trusselle made his first step brought him in an emotional feeling. Smiling to everyone, holding his emotions, not letting his tears flow down his face.
He can’t wait to see Joon, to kiss him, to tell everyone how much he loves him and to share his heart to him through their vows.
Once he reached the end point, he turned around and faced the crowd. Seeing each everyone’s smile made him grateful.
He kissed his mom and sister, gave his dad a big hug. Things for him were just perfect.
“Sandra told us that Joon requested to go here by himself, so they left him at the unit.” he was informed by his mom and he nodded.
Deep inside his feelings, he was alarmed by that information. But he shoved those thoughts away.
He stood still, waiting for Joon to show up and make his way to him.
Until few minutes had passed, still there was no Joon anywhere.
People started whispering, trying to find an update. Curiosity were all over the place.
Trusselle tried to stay still, waiting for Joon and not minding them.
His family started feeling worried, remembering what made their dinner before in tears.
Their cousins were confused but concerned, they didn’t have an idea.
Sandra became more worried when she saw her brother not showing any expression.
“Trusselle?”
She tried to call his attention, but Trusselle didn’t make a response and still focused on the direction where Joon will show up to make his way.
Couple minutes had passed and still no Joon at all.
Until each and everyone slowly raised their heads as if it happened automatically.
The very first small drop of a water went to Trusselle which made him close his eyes as he felt heat inside his body.
Heat that it actually touched his heart.
It was drizzling, it seemed that it made the atmosphere emotional in a way that it hurts. But it was harmless, it was so soft, it was light that it can make you feel sad
It was raining, falling lightly as if it was meant to fall to carefully touch each one’s heart.
Trusselle stood still, having his eyes closed, not letting his tears fall and holding himself to break down.
People started reacting and the whisperings grew a little louder. Some decorations were getting wet just like the people who were slithering to find a place to cover themselves from the raindrops.
“Son.”
Mrs. Ellison said approaching her son, she’s worried and tried her best to stand for her son.
“Don’t think of that, he’s coming.” Sandra told them.
“What’s happening?” Kirk asked out of his curiosity.
Mr. Ellison just watched them, he didn’t want to admit but he’s already about to cry. Seeing his son in this situation made him to.
Until they were left standing at the venue, near the seats where Trusselle and Joon were supposed to do their vows.
Trusselle’s cousins were worried and tried to know what was happening.
“Mom?”
Finally Trusselle spoke, his voice was like a kid who’s about to cry.
“Can you guys leave me for a moment, please?” he pleaded, looking at them helpless.
Without any doubts and words, they left him. They knew what Trusselle needed, a time, time for himself.
“Uhh..” until he broke down to his knees, crying along with the drops of the rain.
Crying noisily, sobbing in pain. Feeling completely hopeless.
“Joon, J-Joon..” he kept on mumbling, trying to call him.
He was completely hopeless. His heart was beating so fast, he can feel it inside his chest.

Point Of View
– Joon –
The world was great, the sky was welcoming but I ruined the bright day.
I was walking slowly, tears were flowing down my face. I was shaking. I was completely broken.
I can see people leaving, not anyone dared to stay. Everyone were getting out of sight, this brought me pain.
Until I reached Trusselle, I was an inch away from him. He was crying, Trusselle was sobbing. This was all because of me.
I wasn’t able to go to our wedding, my nightmare was really meant to happen.
Earlier I was seeing myself taking my suit and excited to go to the venue until I felt weak, numb and literally lost my heartbeat.
And now I was here, just like an air that Trusselle will never be able to see. I was kneeling down in front of him, crying silently.
I was a soul. I thought being a soul was great.
“Joon this can’t be, I need you.. I want you in my life… Joon please.”
I had closed my eyes as I shook my head after hearing him, I can’t do anything. I was sorry. Trusselle, sorry.
It’s breaking me little by little.. hearing his sobs, louder and getting louder. His cries were in pain, his tears were running down his face.
I raised my right hand, reaching his right cheeks.
I hoped he could feel me.
I hoped my soul can touch him.
“I’m sorry, I am sorry..” I whispered.
I raised my head, it was raining so hard. It was getting dark, I can hear thunder.
Trusselle was now crying noisily, he’s shouting for my name. I can’t help but to cry harder.
This was already killing me. I was completely helpless, can’t even touch him.
Until I noticed something that made me shake badly.
“No.. no..” I panicked.
I looked at Trusselle, at the sky, at my hands.
I was fading. No please..
“I don’t wanna go, Trusselle I don’t wanna go.. Please help. Oh God please help me!”
I tried to shout for a help but still, my soul was like becoming an ash.. floating and fading.
“No! No I don’t wanna go! No!” I tried to ask for a help again.
I was getting hopeless.
Until I realized that nothing will stop it.
I raised my head and saw Trusselle, still crying, shaking, trembling, sobbing. He was so helpless. We were both helpless.
I rushed to hug him tight.
“I don’t wanna go, please please.. Trusselle help…” I pleaded under my voice.
The rain was becoming more harder just like my tears, they were flowing aggressively. I raised my head, looking up at the sky, asking God, did we deserve this?
Did we really deserve to experience this and feel the pain? Did we need to feel hurt when all we wanted was to love? Were we supposed to feel broken when to love is just our intention?
I was losing hope. I was fading.
God, this can’t be. I love Trusselle.
Until I was completely nothing, disappearing from the place I thought I would live for the rest of my life.
..
In life, maybe we just need to accept that people come and go. Even if it’s meant to leave us broken.
We love, we get hurt. We get hurt, we learn to love. We normally hear the phrase, “give and take”. But it is not necessary to ask for something in return when giving something, because love is all about giving.
When in love, don’t think of not giving your everything. When you love, make sure to give everything about you because love should be about providing.
We give love, we make love, we provide love, we do love, we seek love, we fight for love, we stay for love, we work for love and we live for love. All because love is unconditional.
Start each day by loving one another because that’s how we make fairytale, that’s how we make life.
Entertain your heart, because it’s us who can help them feel the love.
Never give up, fight for your heart because love is more than anything else.
The End
