"Found the way"

The Way

https://youtu.be/8Dpa1wzUxwQ

 

Umji sees the world through her own eyes. Sometimes, she understands it. Sometimes, no one understands her. Sometimes, she doesn't understand the world at all.

 

People come and go, and Umji gains and lose friends. Would they even be counted as friends? Her family. She loves them, but she doesn't understand them. Umji likes to keep herself in her own world, because no one understands anyway and she feels better off alone. 

 

Umji has dreams. She wants to fly and spread her wings to chase her dreams, but she can't. The world is stopping her. They are too many expectations tying her down, with chains that she cannot break. She doesn't know how to go on in the future. Where should she go, where is she supposed to go? 

 

She has no clue. She's lost. Times like these, all she does is stay alone in the bedroom, hugging her knees as she sits on her bed. 

 

"Umji yah~" she hears ShinB sweetly calling for her. The girl walks in and switches the light on, eradicating all darkness that once has filled the room. 

 

Umji blinks, and tears uncontrollably fall. Somehow, the sorrow in her heart has been eradicated as well, but is instead refilled with warmth and love. 

 

"Why are you crying?" ShinB immediately runs over and climbs onto the bed. She wraps her arms tightly around Umji. 

 

Umji feels a gush of feelings enter her heart as the pair of warm arms surround her. She chokes, and begins sobbing. 

 

Umji pauses when she hears ShinB sobbing as well. "Why are you crying?" she asks, worried. 

 

"Because you're crying!" ShinB answers, her face turning red. "I can't believe you made me cry like that," Umji begins laughing amidst her tears due to ShinB's unexpected bashfulness. 

 

ShinB sees the tiny girl before her laugh and starts laughing as well. The two of them wipe each others tears amongst their laughter. 

 

ShinB seems to be glowing before Umji. She's a source of warmth, and a source of light. She gives Umji care, and also love. She's all Umji ever needs. Looking at ShinB acting this way, it makes her heart warm and instantly makes her happy. 

 

"Ne ShinB yah," she calls out, halting the sobs.

 

"Hmm?" ShinB too, stops crying. 

 

"Saranghae," Umji honestly says. 

 

"Nado," ShinB smiles brightly and replies immediately. "I love you more," she says to incite laughter in them once again. ShinB pulls Umji into a hug once again. 

 

Umji smiles and returns the hug. 

 

She's found the way.
