Guardian Angel
Recalling the PastI'm at Jeongmin's funeral with Daniel, Krystal, Minho, Onew, Jonghyun, Key and Taemin. There were a lot of people wearing
black. Today is the last day that we'll be seeing Jeongmin's face. I'm going to miss seeing his cute eyes and smile. His
parents were crying. I thought to myself, I must be the one who's lying at the coffin right now, not Jeongmin. Before we will
bury Jeongmin's body. His close friends gave him message. Minho and I were one of them. We will describe Jeongmin
in front of the people. Minho stood up next to Jeongmin's coffin and said
"I know I'm only given a few time to know him better but in that few time, I can see how good Jeongmin is. He was the one
who took home Jeisy if I can't take her home. He's the guy who doesn't know how to get mad or jealous. He's a very good
friend to me. I will never forget him. Lee Jeongmin, I will miss you"
I'm the next. I stood up and walked. I stood up next to Jeongmin's coffin
"He met an accident because he saved me. If he wasn't there to save me, I'll be the one who's lying down in the coffin right now.
Before Jeongmin died, he said to me that he's happy that he saved me from the accident. He really did not regret it. Jeongmin's
my friend when we I was still in grade school and we met in Konkuk University. I was happy that we saw each other again. He
always asks for my help in his studies and I helped him. He's a genius guy. He even worked as a waiter in a cafe as his part-
time job because he wants to experience how to work as a waiter. Jeongmin will always remain here in my heart. I'll never
forget him. Jeongmin, if you're listening right now keep this in mind, Noona really loves you" I said as tears fall down from
my eyes. We went to the cemetery. We buried Jeongmin's body. His parents were crying. His mom was calling his name.
They love Jeogmin so much. After the funeral, people went home. Minho and I were left alone. I stood up where Jeongmin's
body was buried. I kept on crying. I can't imagine my life without him.
"Let's go" Minho said as he put his hands on my shoulders
I turned around and hugged him. He rubbed my back. When I was hugging Minho, I saw a girl standing beside the tree. She
was wearing a black shirt and jeans. She was also wearing a cap and a sunglasses. I can't recognize her face. I let go of Minho.
She hid beside the tree and walked away. I've been wondering if who was that girl.
"Are you okay?" Minho asked
"Le..let's go" I said as I was looking at the girl walking away
---FEW DAYS LATER---
When I went inside the classroom, I feel sleepy so I decided to take a rest first. After how many minutes, someone shouted at
my ear. It was my teacher! I sat up straight not even looking at her face. My classmates were looking at me. I bowed down
shyly.
"Jeisy Gu? Sleeping at my class? As far as I know, you're a genius girl. It doesn't mean that you're already genius you can do
what you want in your seat" my teacher said
"Mianhe" I said still bowing down
She walked away and she continued to discuss the lesson. I looked at the chair beside me. Jeongmin was seated at that chair.
If Jeongmin is still alive. He would be the one to wake me up so our teacher couldn't recognize that I was sleeping during her
discussion. The bell rang and it's time for our lunch. I stood up and went outside. Minho was waiting for me. If Jeongmin
is still alive, he would call my name and asked if I can help him with our new lesson. But now, there's no Jeongmin who
would like to ask me to help him with our new lesson. We sat at the chair. I was eating silently. If Jeongmin is still here.
He would be seating beside me. I miss him. I miss Lee Jeongmin.
"Are you okay?" Minho asked
I didn't respond to his question. I was staring at the food.
"Yah. Are you okay?" he asked again
I blinked my eyes and looked at him "Hmm?"
"I know you're not okay. You can't still accept the truth that Jeongmin's already dead"
I bowed down and nodded "I miss him"
"I know. I miss him too. I miss the times when we always eat our lunch with him. And those times that I will go to the cafe just
to visit the two of you. I miss those times. I miss hanging with him around"
"Minho, I should be the one who's dead right now and not him" I looked at him
"But he sacrificed his self just to saved you from that accident"
"If he was not there, I'm the one who's dead right now"
Minho stood up and sat beside me "Yah. Don't say like that. Let's just be happy for him knowing that he's living
peacefully with God right now. Before he died, he told you that he did not regret in saving you from that accident, right?
So, it means he really cares for you"
"Minho, I should be..." Minho cut my sentence off
"Shh.. don't say like that. Let's think he's your guardian angel who saved you" he said as he put his arms on my shoulders
"Gomawo, Minho" I bowed down shyly
"Let's just pray for him" Minho said
Lee Jeongmin, my guardian angel, thanks for saving me. Kamsahamnida, my guardian angel.
