the sunshine

Erstwhile

"It's a good day, a good day to die."

Hanae nonchalantly whisper to herself as she removes the duvet out of her way to put on her bunny slippers to gets up and prepare for school. Same old, boring life routine. She just can't wait for highschool, or more like a bottomless pit abyss to end so she could leave her past behind, that's what she thought. 

It started several years ago when she was preparing for national exam in junior high, and she somehow managed to obtain astonishing results and putted a smile on the behalf of her family. "So proud of our little Hanae. You're always so good. You need to be doctor when you grow up. You need to make us proud." 

"It's not easy when you're not the one sitting for it. I don't even want to be a ing doctor who is stuck in hospital with the suffocating-smelling medicine and watch blood spills by every corner as the surgeon performs surgery to patient and sees death on daily basis." She added to herself and her family members congratulate her. Being an introvert is definitely not helping. For the sake of her family, Hanae took science major and she messed up, so bad.

"With that results, you're not going anywhere. There won't be any university that will accept it. Don't even dream to become a doctor with such attitude. Look at Juhyeon, who excelled her exam and got into school of medicine in Ireland. Well, isn't that wonderful!" Old man chatters

Pressure starts to kick in her mind, that she need not to embarass her family, she's a girl, it's vital or else she won't get married. 

Having troubles memorizing things that she isn't even interested in whilst trying to fit in with schoolmates that is totally vice versa to her attitude, is a severe pain. The hunk, the bimbo, the bully, the girl, and on the special species are like Hanae; alive but dead, happy but sad. 

She had enough of stupid puppy love romance too, she's too busy memorizing the blood circulatory system of human to be hanging with some fancy dudes. 

She was once a happy girl, a heart so pure that it glows on her face and also, a walking sunshine. Everything about her was a breath of fresh air; perfect family, perfect friends and the love of her life that she cherished so much.

As time passes, seasons change, family break, trust was shattered all over the place and feelings fade.

What is there to life for? 

What is the reason to wake up every morning? 

What is there hold tight when everything slip through your finger like water ran through a river, so fast, without a look spared behind?

She is another girl in the sea of people trying to save their life in vain. 

And jumping off from her school's bell tower also known as the highest building in her school seems like a good choice.

Until, she heard a scream on the other side of the tower,  a scream so intense it left a mark in her wounded soul. A scream that shook her. It was a loud and desirable scream, with a strong positive note. Which was totally opposite to the lonely pitch black world of Seo Hanae. 

She turned to face the silhouette, a tall skinny looking boy captured the look on her face with a big smile, so playfully it almost make Hanae forget her first intention.

"Trying to kill yourself?" The boy dropped the question casually. She was about to open when the boy let out his voice first. "Come on, you know it's going to be pretty ugly if you died from jumping off the building, right? Smashed face, distorted body, gushing blood. And then you will be the infamous ghost in no time. Cool actually now that you think about it." She realised that the boy wasn't looking forward to hear her answer. 

She met this guy for three seconds and she have three words for him.
