Back then: again

13 | Each person's circumstances

김태형

....ha

Kim Taehyung, sitting on the edge of the bed, clutched his head. With a look on his face like he was about to cry, he softly called Kim Yeoju's name.

김태형

I wonder if I'm home...

Shouldn't he be here by now? With that thought, I kicked the door open and left. To clear up any misunderstandings.

김여주

Haa, haa..

I got the call and ran like crazy. Since I had no money, I ran all the way to the hospital. After a while, the hospital came into view.

The traffic light changed and I crossed the pedestrian crossing. I was in such a hurry that I didn't even look to the side. At that moment, a car approached me.

김여주

Whoa!!!

Squeak - I closed my eyes tightly and stood still. Then, not long after, I heard the loud sound of a car stopping in my ears.

+

Miss, are you okay?! I told you to be careful!

김여주

Ugh... sigh...

+

Can you come to your senses?! Let's go to the hospital ahead, Miss.

김여주

Yeah, no.. I'm fine..

As the tension eased, the strength in my legs went away. My heart pounded like crazy and I broke out in a cold sweat.

An inexplicable pain spread deep through my chest. It felt like I'd been hit, and various parts of my body ached.

I barely managed to get up and run away. It was strange. Whenever I saw something, I felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Footsteps echoed through the previously quiet hallway. Then, the footsteps gradually slowed and then stopped.

김여주

mom..!!

+

No, you can't go any further.

Choi Su-won. My mother, reflected in the hospital room window, had lost a lot of weight since I'd last seen her. As I reached for the doorknob, a police officer standing nearby blocked my path.

김여주

What are you doing..? Get out of the way..!!

+

No, it won't work.

김여주

Then why are you acting like that now..? Aren't you going to have surgery..?

+

.......

+

It will be of no use.

Thud - my heart sank. For a moment, my vision dimmed and my body staggered. I fell backwards, unable to keep my balance.

Percussion - .

민윤기

Hey, be careful

김여주

shine..?

At that moment, someone grabbed my arm and I turned my head upwards to see a very familiar face.

I was so shocked that I froze in place. The unexpected appearance of an unexpected person in an unexpected place. It wasn't very pleasant.

In case someone sees mom _

민윤기

Do you have the strength to get up?

김여주

Oh.., oh..! Thank you..

How long had it been? Min Yoongi, who had been staring at himself, lifted himself up from his arms.

After leaving Yoongi's embrace, I hung my head in embarrassment. How long had I been in that position?

민윤기

........

민윤기

....has changed

김여주

what..?

민윤기

Yeah? No, I'll see you at school, Yeoju.

김여주

Uh uh..

After exchanging brief greetings, Yoongi left the room. "Changed." He muttered only that.

Long time no see.. Hehe..

I'm sorry for being so late in writing.

I guess I'm about to start taking the exam, and I'm really worried about it.

I'm really nervous about my first test since starting middle school..😓 (TMI: The author is 14 years old..)

And I thought about erasing this piece

Still, I chose to write until the end!🙌🏻

Well then, good night everyone👋🏻❤️
