"I wonder how you're doing now.." I softly smiled as I looked up at the picture of Soojung, my first love, who promised me that she'd come back from the States... but she never did.
(3 years ago)
"Amber, " Soojung said as she cups my face making me looking up at her, "I'm leaving to the States for my studies." she said with tears in her eyes. It took me a moment for it to soak in.
"H-how long are you staying there?" I asked her as a stream of tear fell down my face.
"Just until I finished high school." she said quietly as she wiped away my tear. We spent the last days together laughing and, sometimes, crying. On the last day, she promised she'd come back. She told me she would and sealed it with a kiss, but she lied.

I got up from my bed and rubbed my eyes lazily as I picked up my phone. Answering it without checking the calling ID, "Hello?"
"Amber.. it's Jessica, I wanted to tell you.. that, " she paused and sniffles, sounded like she was crying. I furrowed my eyebrows as she cried. "I wanted to tell you that.. Soojung.. " she paused once again and broke down, "sh-she passed away." with just that, everything around me felt like it shattered just like my heart. I felt a lump in my throat just as if my heart's up there. I tried to swallow but choked up tears. I broke everything in my room out of anger as to why I couldn't have done anything. After trashing everything I laid down on my bed. Reenacting what Jessica told me, "a drunk driver hit her.. when she was walking home from school." I stared blankly at the ceiling wondering what I would do with my life as I laid there lifelessly while slowly closing my eyes. Sleeping it away hoping it'd be just a terrible nightmare.
