The Departure
The Blonde Hair Guy
I sighed and packed my luggage. I threw my clothes inside the luggage, unwillingly. I wan't ready to go back to Korea. After what had happened to me, I never wanted to go back to that place. NEVER. Why can't I just stay here and be like any other ordinary teenager? It felt so unfair. I know Dad had a hard time but why can't I just live with my Aunt in America? Sigh, this is just great.
Not only I'm going back to my homeland, Korea but I'm going to transfer to a new school too. Well, that which means having another hard time finding a friend. I shed a tear while looking at my room for the last time. I will miss this place. I'll miss everyone for sure. I dragged my luggage down the stairs and saw Aunt Mary and Krystal sitting on the couch, weeping.
I walked towards Krystal and gave her an enouraging hug, "Hey, I'll be fine alright. Take good care of yourself and I'll come back here during the holidays" I said while faking a smile. I couldn't conrol my tears as they started to fall one by one, uncontrollably. I hugged Krystal tightly an state to sob. She was my only cousin, more like a sister to me. I wasn't ready to go yet.
Then, Dad patted my shoulder telling me that it's time to go. I stood upand looked at Aunt Mary and Krystal before hugging them both while taking my luggage into the car.
During the whole journey to the airport, I didn't say a word but to just blankly stare outside the window. I didn't want to talk to anyone. When I reached the airport, my jaw dropped seeing Luna and Kwon Bin together waiting for me at the entrance of the airport. Holy , don't cry Kwon Yoora. Don't cry, I told myself.
They wanted to bid their last goodbye to me. I ran towards them and hugged them tightly. Luna and Kwon Bin were my bestfriends when I was studying in America. To me, they were more than that. They were just like my siblings. I've never thought I would be leaving them. I reluctantly loosen my grip on the hug when I heard the announcement that we had to go to the waiting area.
I sighed and Luna said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Just don't forget about us alright?" Kwon Bin carressed my cheek. I bid my last goodbye and went off to the waiting area. I bit my lip when I saw them going further and futher away from me. I couldn't let myself to talk to Dad in the plane. I never wante to hurt his feelings but I just felt so sad and upset.
When we reach Korea, I felt so burdened and those painful memories came flashing in my mind again. Everything seemed so real and I put my hand onto my chest. I breathed in deeply and went into my Uncle's car. "Oh, annyeong Yoora! It's been a long time since I've seen you. How have you been?" I faked a smile and nodded.
Dad looked at me worriedly but I just looked away. I threw myself on the bed as soon as I reached my Aunt's house. I couldn't think anymore. What's better is that Dad told me I'llbe starting school tomorrow and I just need to fill up the enrolment form. I couldn't think straight anymore. I took all my clothes out of my luggage and plopped onto the bed. Right afte dinner, I didn't have the mood and went straight up to bed.
