I have a dream
Tourner dans le videMimi P.O.V
It is another day that I have to spend inside. I turn on the TV and the familiar film is playing. It is my favorite DVD, which shows the best moments of YooA's career as a ballet dancer for the national ballet.
My heart is warming up, as she is dancing gracefully. I've actually memmorised every single step and I would love to dance myself just for once.
However, since I am paralyzed since birth and sit in a wheelchair this dream sadly will forever stay a dream for me. But I won't give up and I still have the hope to one day meet my rolemodel YooA personally.
My motto is: 'Never stop dreaming and fight for your dreams.' I totally live up to this motto. When YooA ended her career two years ago without saying goodbye, my heart broke and it was the saddest day of my life.
However, I still believe that she will come back one day when the time is right for her. Because if you are as talented as YooA you have to live those talents and share them with the world.
Actually, I am worried for her, since I haven't heard anything from her at all in these past few years. Just what has happened that she ended her career from one day to the other?
Many speculations were made about her reasons for ending her career by the media. Those reasons include her being pregnant, her having gotten married in secret and now living a life as a housewife, or that something tragical has happened.
I honestly don't think that the first two reasons are very convincing so I most likely think that something really tragical must have happened to her, which caused her to react this way and end her career.
Once the DVD has finished I decide to leave my apartment and get some fresh air. I inhale deeply, as I am finally outside. The cold evening air is hitting my face, but honestly I don't mind that at all.
Actually, I think that it is rather refreshing. On my way I pass by many shops and I look in through the windows. I love windowshopping, since it always gives me new ideas about what I could be, if I had the money for it.
Even though I am poor, I am not unhappy. No, actually I am a very happy and optimistic person. I don't need a lot of things to be happy, since I am not a material person at all.
The things that make me happy mostly are the little things. Simple and honest gestures by people are what warms my heart. Or like at this moment.
A little puppy is running my way and looks at me curiously. I his furr softly and whisper:
"Who are you?"
At this very moment I see a woman running down the way, looking around, as if she is searching for something. Once she has spotted the puppy that apparently belongs to her, she sighs in relief.
She takes up the puppy and my heart nearly stops, once our eyes meet. I would recognize that face out of a thousand others. It is my rolemodel, YooA!
I whisper out in disbelief:
"YooA?"
She turns her gaze down and turns to leave, as I take all my courage together and exclaim:
"I am your biggest fan, YooA. I have each and every one of your performances on DVD and I've always dreamt of becoming a ballet dancer like you one day, since you are my rolemodel."
She stops in her tracks and turns around again. Once she is standing next to me, she gestures me to follow her. This whole time she hasn't said a thing, which makes me really confused somehow.
We continue to stroll through the park, as she leads me to her car. Another woman gets out of the car who is seemingly around our age and says:
"Yeon Ju-ah, you're back again. Who is this young woman?"
I introduce myself to the woman, as I say:
"Good evening, unnie. My name is Kim Mi Hyun and I am a very big fan of YooA. Her puppy ran over to me and so YooA and I met. She gestured me to follow her here. I hope that that's okay for you. I don't want to be a burden, or anything."
The woman smiles and answers me:
"It is very nice to meet you, Mi Hyun-ah. My name is HyoJung and I am YooA's manager and friend. You aren't a burden at all to us. Actually Yeon Ju could use some company once in a while. Be our guest, Mi Hyun-ah."
I feel very honored at this, as we then get in the car and drive to YooA's home. After a relatively long drive we arrive before a beautiful mansion.
HyoJung unnie helps me get out of the car and once I sit in my wheelchair again we all make our way to the house. Once we're inside HyoJung says:
"Welcome to YooA's home, Mi Hyun-ah. You can follow YooA over to the livingroom. I will just prepare tea and some snacks, okay?"
I nod my head and do as she told me to. YooA and I sit next to each other in silence and I speak up:
"Unnie, is it really okay that I am here? If I am being a burden, or you don't feel comfortable around me I can go home again."
She takes a piece of paper and a pencil and writes down something. Once she is finished she shows it to me and smiles at me:
"I don't mind you being here and actually I like your company. I'm sorry, if I appear like this to you, because I don't speak. But I am actually mute, Mi Hyun-ah."
My heart drops down at this. She is mute?
