Forty-seven
A place in time.Miami:
Bi lay on the hospital bed as she grabbed her pillow, tears streaming down her face as the doctors got her ready for her daily shots
“…Can’t we just skip my shots today?” she muttered in a weak voice
“It’s just gonna be a matter of seconds and we’ll be done” the doctor said reassuring her
*A matter of seconds*
Bi felt the syringe’s contact on her body as she closed her eyes, swallowing the pain
“Hanbin” she cried as Hanbin’s smile flashed in the back of her mind
“…Hanbin-ah” she cried tears rolling down her cheeks.
Bi sat on her bed as she swiped the photos in her gallery; it had been two weeks already since she left Seoul.
“How are you Bin-ah?” she smiled, tears welling up her eyes
*Do you miss me?*
“Bi-ah” her mom said entering her room as she put her phone away and looked at her mom
“Neh eomma” she said in a small voice
“Let’s have your medicines” her mom said lovingly her daughter’s hair
“Neh eomma” Bi said obediently as she took the pills from her mom and gulped in down with some water, grimacing at the fact that the medicines were bitter.
“Aigoo my daughter” her mom said in a sad tone sitting on her bed as Bi smiled reassuring her mom that she was okay
“You are just 18 and you have to go through all this” her mom said taking her daughter’s hand and looked down as drops of tears fell on Bi’s hand
“E-eomma, waegurae?” Bi muttered, taken aback by her mom sudden breakdown
“I’m sorry, mom could not protect you, I’m sorry I was so engrossed with my life that I didn’t notice that my baby was going through hell…I’m sorry you have to lay in bed with a broken heart…all because I didn’t pay attention to what you needed” her mom sobbed as Bi felt her eyes gets watery
“Eomma, jongmal kkeumanhae” Bi said awkwardly
“Jongmal mianhae” her mom cried as a tear escaped Bi’s eye
“It’s not your fault eomma” Bi cried as her mom hugged her
“Mianhae Bi-ah, mianhae there’s nothing I can do” her mom said as Bi sobbed, tears streaming down her face
“Saranghae Bi-ah” her mom cried
“Eomma, you’re making me cry” Bi sobbed as her mom just continued to cry
“Jongmal mianhae…I’m sorry…talk to eomma oh?” her mom said as Bi cried there, finally breaking down giving away everything that she had been hiding
“I miss him” she cried as her mom nodded her hair
“…I miss him so much that I don’t know what to do…I want to go to Seoul so bad but I really can’t. I just want to go to him and apologize to him, I want to be back to him again…but I can’t” Bi cried as her mom nodded patting her back
“I hate it when he’s not with me when I am taking shots…eomma, I don’t think I’ll be able to make it without him” Bi cried
“Everything will be alright my dear daughter…eomma is here” her mom hushed her.
Just like any other day, I sit here staring out of the window as the cherry blossoms fall reminding me of a romantic love story.
Is my love story with Hanbin really over?
Will we meet again? And if we do, will he still love me like we used to? Do you miss me sometimes??
Are you looking up at the same sky and missing me too?
Kim Hanbin…I miss you.
