Collision of Fates

"I don't understand what you're saying," Sushi said, feeling shy as she walked away and sat down quietly.

June took his seat behind the wheel and said, "It's okay if you don't understand now. I hope you'll reply me the next time we meet." He started the car.

Sushi felt both shy and happy, trying to maintain her composure so that June wouldn't notice her excitement.

"Was that a proposal to me back then?" Sushi asked, reflecting on the memory.

"Sorry? To you?" June replied, confused.

"Sir, the food is ready," the cook announced and then left.

"I'm hungry. Let's eat," Sushi said, attempting to get up from the couch. But she felt a sharp pain and fell forward, landing directly on June's lips. They both froze for a moment before pulling back to avoid further embarrassment. As Sushi tried to move away, June quickly pulled her closer and asked, "A proposal to you? What do you mean?"

"I mean my sister. Was that the moment you started liking her?" she asked.

"Huh?" June hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "If I say yes, will she feel bad? After all, it's her sister. Even though she knows, since she's my wife now, talking about another girl might hurt her."

"Why aren't you answering?" Sushi pressed, expecting a confirmation.

"No, no way," June said loudly, almost shouting the denial.

"No?" Sushi asked, surprised.

"I mean, she was childish and immature at that time, even though she was fully grown. Do you know, she cried like a kid that day just because I didn't pay attention to her? She was such a spoiled kid," June said, bad-mouthing Chloe, thinking it would please Sushi. He had no idea it was about to backfire.

"Immature?" Sushi repeated, feeling offended since she was the one who had cried in that scene.

"Let's eat," June suggested, trying to change the subject as he got up.

"No, you eat. I'm not hungry," Sushi said, trying to get up from the couch.

"What? You just said you were hungry. What happened suddenly?" June asked, surprised.

"I lost my appetite," Sushi replied, attempting to walk but almost falling. When June tried to help her, she pulled away, keeping her distance.

"I'm okay," she said, moving toward the stairs.

"What happened suddenly? Did I say something wrong?" June shouted, but there was no reply from Sushi. She was too focused on walking forward, taking each step with difficulty, and almost made it to the top.

June got frustrated at her lack of response and said, "Why are you behaving so childishly now? How should I deal with both of you sisters? You're both so immature."

Sushi got upset at being called immature and yelled back, "Yes, I am immature. If you don't like immature people, then leave me alone."

June quickly went upstairs and shouted back, "I've been trying so hard to be nice and make up with you. But what's wrong with you? I don't understand."

"That's the problem, June. You don't understand. You're just trying. When you truly want to be with someone, you shouldn't try hard, things will go easy," she yelled in anger. She continued, "If you see me as a burden, you shouldn't have agreed to go on a honeymoon."

June couldn't understand her sudden change in behavior, and her last sentence made him even angrier.

"I never saw you as a burden. It's you who never considered my feelings and did whatever you want. And now you're blaming me even though I accepted you and forgave all your betrayals.

Fine, then. If you never wanted to go on the honeymoon or be with me, I won't force you. I'll cancel all the plans. Take some rest," June said and stormed off in anger.

He stormed outside, furious and conflicted about whether she didn't want to be with him or was just yelling out of anger. He started his car angrily and drove off at high speed.

Hearing the roar of his engine, Sushi came to her senses, thinking, "What have I done? Why did I get so angry? He wasn't at fault. I shouldn't have said those words."

She quickly ignored the pain in her foot and searched for him, but he was already gone.

Panicking, she spotted another car in the garage. She rushed inside, found the keys, and jumped into the car to follow him. "I can do this," she thought, starting the engine.

After a while, she spotted his car speeding down the road. "Why is he driving so fast? Does he want to get into an accident or what?" she muttered, dialing his number.

"Now she is calling me after saying all that nonsense? I'm not picking up. Do whatever you want," June thought, ignoring her call.

Determined, Sushi called again, increasing her speed and repeatedly trying to reach him.

After a few calls, June finally picked up. "What? Do you still have something left to say to me?" he shouted.

"June, are you mad? Stop your car immediately," Sushi shouted back.

"What is that sound? Where are you? Are you following me?" he quickly noticed that she was in a car and checked his mirror for her.

"June, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those words. I was just mad at you for calling me immature, that's all," Sushi explained, trying to convey her perspective.

"Why did you follow me?" June saw her driving at high speed and became tense.

"Sushi, listen to me. That car has problems. Why are you driving it? The brakes are broken! Don't panic, just reduce your speed. I'll stop your car," June said urgently, turning his car around to head towards her.

"What?" Sushi panicked and tried to press the brakes, but they didn't work, and the speed didn't decrease.

"June, it's not working! It's not slowing down!" Sushi's nervousness spiked, and within moments, her vehicle became uncontrollable.

"Sushi, I'm coming! Don't be afraid!" June sped towards her. Just as he almost reached her car, a huge truck came into the intersection, causing a collision. Sushi's car tilted and crashed violently onto the road while June's car hit a pole.

The accident created a chaotic scene, with other vehicles stopping abruptly. Blood streamed from Sushi's head and hands, and her body was trapped in the car, her face scratched and bruised.

Bystanders quickly called for an ambulance. June, with blood flowing from his forehead, managed to get out of his car. Despite his blurry vision, he staggered towards Sushi's car, shouting, "Sushi!"

When he reached her car, he saw her in dire condition. Overwhelmed, he ran to the car, kneeled on the road, and tried to hold Sushi's hand, crying out, "Sushi! Sushi!"

He managed to grasp her hand but couldn't pull her out. Desperately, he tried to break the window to reach her, but Sushi held his hand tightly. With a faint smile, she whispered, "June..."

June was devastated. "Don't talk, don't! Please!!! I will save you! Help!" He was trying everything, shouting, crying, and pleading for help.

"June, listen!" Sushi was slowly losing consciousness.

"June, I don't know who you loved in your past. But, I was there, June. I was there with you in your life. Half of your Chloe was me..." Sushi said, thinking these might be her last moments.

"Don't talk!!", June crying helplessly.

"June....", she looked at him, tear drops are coming from her eyes, "I love you... I loved you all my life...", and drifted into unconsciousness.
