Every steps she takes will take her to the finish line, where she knows her new life wait for her, new hope, new strength and courage to overcome the pain she’s been dealing in the past six months. The steps she’s taking aren’t the easy ones. Many people go for it but not many finished and she wishes—deep inside she wishes—she can pull this off today. Because this is a promise she made to herself, if she conquers the distance within the time limit in front of her, then she can move on. She’s not doing it for him, nor for the hope they had to let go six months ago, but she’s doing it for herself.

To seek forgiveness from herself, to redeem herself for a precious thing she lost.

Author’s note:

This will be a short (probably one shot or two maximum) story that I dedicate to my friend that inspired me to write this. This is not a fiction. All things I’m going to write here happened to my friend—every little thing. She and I wanted people to know her story, because some other woman out there might experience what she had to deal with and she wanted them to know that it’s okay, it’s okay if such thing happened because life goes on and things eventually got better.

And as for you, dear friend, I want you to know that you’re an awesome woman! You’re not the weak one but you’re allowed to cry when it’s too hard to bear every now and then. You have become an inspiration and you’d better keep doing the great things you do, because one day, when the time is right, it’ll will happen to you. But if it doesn’t, please know that there are many people around you that love you and we’ll still be here for you.

I also write this for HyoLoveRona (she’s the one that created many posters for my fics, check her out), since I promised her a fic about Kyuhyun and Hyoyeon. Hyo’s character somehow fits my friend’s active and energetic personality and I hope you’ll like it, Rana.. :)
