Before I Let Go 소설 & 이야기

I announce before leaving the room leaving everyone in shock. I sigh audibly while trudging towards my room, this day is getting crazier by the minute I can't wait for tomorrow's note sarcastic term there'.

We stared at each other for a moment—and the silence filled with all the things we'd never say. Finally, I broke it. “You should go before I start acting like the brother you remember. And know this, I'll be watching you. Don't try anything funny.” He let out a slow breath. “That sounds like a threat.” “Yes, it is.” He gave a soft chuckle, almost fond, before turning toward the door. “You'll see her again soon,” he said without looking back. “And when you do… you'll know what your pride really made you lose.”

Levi reluctantly let go of my hand, opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could speak, I hurried away. Like avoiding a plague, I was avoiding him. What I didn't see was Levi watching my retreating figure, his chest heaving noticeably. His restrained emotions were slowly crumbling, and this time, he would never let me go of his hand. But I was far from as calm as I appeared on the surface. I was letting go of my past with Levi, but the thought of the pain he had caused me still made me resentful.

"You fret in your own grease, and I won't forgive you. Never." He looked at me in despair, trembling as he pulled out the diamond ring he had thrown under the bed. "I regret it so much," he stammered. "I'm sorry. Please, give me another chance." Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, snowflakes began to fall again, just like the day we first met. I looked away and slowly stood up. "Let go. While I still remember the good parts about you, let go." His hand drooped, and his shoulders slumped.

But Seth didn't budge. Just as she felt her consciousness slipping, he let go. "Letting you die… would be too easy." He picked up his phone and dialed. "Hey. Do they still need people in the desert? I've got someone for you."

“You came to my office for a deal to save me and have Hailey, right? You sent those flowers..I am glad that everything went well.” Smith closed his eyes trying to calm his nerves. Malia’s gut? It's so much and it's giving him a lot of headache. He turned to face Hailey. “Please release Jayden, you know he handles most of my business.” Hailey sighed, she wished she could explain everything to Smith but she can't risk that. She walked closer to him slowly. “Jayden will be released tomorrow, I can't tell you the time but he will be released tomorrow.” *****

He knew Hazel didn't care, yet he refused to lose his grip on her. "Fine," he finally said, his voice returning to a flat tone. "Don't wait up." "I won't," Hazel replied lightly, patting the unwrinkled shoulder of his suit jacket. "Good luck, Diego." She turned and walked inside, leaving Diego standing alone at the door. He watched her retreating back, a strange sensation gnawing at his chest. This departure felt... wrong. Usually, he was the one leaving Hazel in an emotional state—angry, hurt, or weak. This time, Hazel was the one calmly "releasing" him.

Growth and letting go. All of it. All at once. Forever.

Nothing left to hold onto. And for the first time since all of this began— I let him go.

"Let go!" "I won't let go unless you promise not to hit me!"
