Parting and this parting
59


It's Thursday

It's the anniversary of Yewon's death and the day she became a star...

The day has come

The day I wished would never come

I came here anyway

Eunbi got out of bed and got ready for school.


황은비
hmm....


황은비
There's nothing more to take care of, right?

Eunbi looked around the room and saw something on the desk.


황은비
Huh...? What is this?


황은비
... letter?

Eunbi looked at the letter.

In the letter

[TO. Hwang Eun-bi, Who I Want to See, FROM. Kim Ye-won, Who Will Become a Star]

It was written as


황은비
...Kim Ye-won?

Eunbi quickly took out the box and took out the letter.


황은비
I have to take it....

Eunbi left the house with a letter in her hand.

Eunbi stopped by a stationery store to buy some stationery, then went to class.

As soon as I sat down on the chair, I took off my bag and opened the letter.


정예린
Eunbi~

As she was looking through the letters, her friends approached Eunbi.


정은비
What are you doing?


황은비
Oh... you're here?


최예원
Yeah, but why the letter?


황은비
When I woke up this morning, it was on my desk...


김예림
Who sent it?


황은비
.... Kim Ye-won....


최예원
.. what?

Eunbi showed the letter

The letter clearly states

[TO. Hwang Eun-bi, Who I Want to See, FROM. Kim Ye-won, Who Will Become a Star]

It was written as


김소혜
Did Yewon really send this?


황은비
... I don't know.....


정은비
How about reading it...?


황은비
I tried to read it....


황은비
after.....

Eunbi began to read the letter carefully.

[Hello, Eunbi?]

[I'm Yewon]

[That's the Kim Ye-won you know]

[That's right, Kim Ye-won, who you've been with since 5th grade.]

[Are you surprised when I suddenly disappeared?]

[I'm really sorry]

[I wanted to meet you and talk, but the circumstances and reality that faced me didn't allow me to do so.]

[I live freely, but soon I will become a star...]

[No, by the time you read this letter, you will have become a star]

[I'm leaving you with only regrets]

[I'm sorry that I could only say sorry until the end]

[I still don't think you can believe it...]

[We really can't meet again...]

[But I will be your star and shine brightly]

[When you are tired and worn out, I will comfort and soothe you from a place you cannot see]

[You are truly my best friend]

[I am the first to leave this world, and although my appearance will no longer be there, my heart will always be by your side.]

[Eunbi, thank you, I'm sorry, I love you♡]

[Let's meet again after a very long time!]


황은비
.....

Eunbi finished reading the letter and folded it up, placing it on her desk.

And soon after, tears flowed down Eunbi's cheeks.


정은비
........


정예린
..........


최예원
.....


김소혜
......


김예림
....

The five people who saw Eunbi's tears just quietly left the place.

After a long time, Eunbi finally stopped crying and looked at Yewon's folded letter before taking out a new one.

A blank piece of paper with nothing written on it...

Eunbi looked at the letter paper and began to write.

*

Six people gathered after school

Eunbi thought of Yewon and remembered the box she had left at home.


황은비
Oh right


황은비
I left something behind.


황은비
I'll be back soon!


황은비
Teachers, please contact me when you arrive!!

Eunbi started running in a hurry

To bring back memories with Yewon...

59 The end-
