Story Title: Five Times
Story: AU: We Are
Summary: Five times Na Ji Sung meets Sara
Author's Note: Sara is Ling'er. This is apart of the AU where Chan-wook never went looking for his children, because Takara never died. Ling'er was adopted by a rich woman and raised in South Korea.





The first time Na Ji Sung meets her, he is sixteen and she is fourteen. Her name’s Sara and she’s adopted, like him. She smiles brightly, leans close to him and whispers deep dark secrets in his ear: My mother procured me from China when I was three. She was jealous of my half-sister; my father’s mistress’ daughter, Yuri. His eyes widen; he’s not quite sure how to answer that. She laughs; her laugh reminds him of a bell.



The second time he meets her, he is eighteen and she is sixteen. She’s beautiful; she’s going blind. She leans in to him and whispers deep dark secrets: I’ve got tumors in my brain. They’re going to cut me open soon. I may die. She asks him to kiss her – she must be kissed, just once, before she dies. He kisses her. She smiles; she looks like perfection personified.



The third time he meets her, she’s in the hospital. The first of several operations has gone well. She looks drained; scared . . . she doesn’t look as bright and shining as before. Yet, when she sees him . . . she smiles. He forgets everything. He leans close to her and whispers: You’re beautiful. She kisses his cheek; he knows she’s perfect.



The fourth time he meets her, she’s home from the hospital. The first round of treatment over. Her father’s gone off on a vacation with his Mistress; her mother out shopping for new clothing to dull the pain. Her brothers are off running the business; her half-sister is secretly dating some dark, street-wise, artist. She’s alone. He visits – he tells himself – just to keep her company. He stays for the whole day. He leans close to her and whispers: I think you’re going to be here forever.



The fifth time he meets her, she shows up at his school. She stands outside his classroom and waves at him. She has a hoodie covering her head; she’s still rather gaunt. He excuses himself and joins her. She leans close and whispers: I like you. He smiles; she kisses him. For a moment – she isn’t ill, he isn’t unsure – they are perfect.
