8 Years Of Waiting, Broken Vow

Synopsis

It was the eighth year Aurora was stuck on the island when she was diagnosed with cancer. The organization finally allowed her to return to Biration for treatment. During those eight years, she applied seven times to go back, but her spot was always taken by someone else. She always blamed it on bad luck, so she worked harder. It wasn't until she worked herself into leukemia after years of exhaustion that she finally got a chance to go back for treatment. Back at Biration Hospital, as she had completed her admission paperwork, her eyes drifted past the registration desk, and she suddenly spotted a familiar figure. There, at the registration desk, stood a man in a military uniform. It was Owen, her childhood sweetheart and fiancé. Eight years ago, she was exiled to the island because of her family's status. When the ship was about to set sail, Owen stood on the dock, his eyes red with emotion, and promised her, "No matter how long, I'll wait for you." She believed him. For eight years, Owen made the trip to the island every single month to see her. The overnight sea voyage from Sourthan to the island was a trip he never missed; he came every single month. Even if they only had a few hurried minutes together, Owen treasured the briefest moments. But now, with his back to her, Owen was holding a little girl who looked about six or seven years old in his arms. The little girl was listlessly resting her head on his shoulder, her cheeks flushed red. As Aurora was about to step forward, the little girl in Owen's arms stirred awake. She lifted her head from his shoulder and happened to glance right at Aurora. "Daddy, that lady over there has been staring at you."
