Can't we love ?
My eyes flutters open.
The lights blind my eyes, making I groan in my half sleep. I feels a hand under my head, and a cup of plain water in front of me. I drink it with some help and sigh in relief. I whisper a thank you and feels a hand sealed with mine. My eyes open completely as I turn to the owner of the hand, “Kihyun” I sigh. He softly smiles as his free hand run in between my hair, “Feeling better ?”
“Yeah” I breath. “I’m sorry.. you must be worried”
“It’s okay. I’m your brother afterall” He said, staring at me. His face written with worries and that breaks my heart. I held his hand tight and put on a smiles. “Hey, I’m okay”
“I’m sorry you have to faced this”
“Kihyun..”
“Are you hungry ? You have been sleeping for the whole day” He suddenly ask and I shook my head, “Don’t have appetite”
“Come on, the others are eating outside”
“The others are here ?”
“We are all here” He said, keep patting my head, “We already explained to the public.. and now they all know you are my sister”
I smiles toward his statement, “I don’t have to hide anymore ?”
“No” He giggled but it slowly faded, “But Mihyun-ah..”
“Uhm ?”
“It’s about Minhyuk” He said, obviously hesitating on his words. “What’s with him ?” I said, getting worried at the way he said his name. “He looks scared when he got your call. He have been blaming himself out there”, My eyes trembled, “Where.. is he now ?”
“Not sure. Maybe still in the car outside” He said and I take away the blanket from my body. “Where are you going-”
“I will talk to him”
“You need to rest, Mihyun”
“I can rest later-” “Yoo Mihyun” He grabs my hand tight as he said sternly, “Listen to me, please” He said, making me feels weak. It takes a moment when I finally take the blanket on me again, “Let’s talk to him later. Your health is more important”
“Okay” I said with my tiny voice. My eyes feels heavy for staying on bed and I ended up falling asleep all over again.
“Mihyun-ah”
I heard Kihyun’s broken voice from somewhere around. I look up to the sky and find it is raining, with a hint of thunder. These scenes makes me remember what have happen years ago. “Kihyun.. ?” I said, trying to find him in the scene. I keep turning around and around until my eyes set on the small me and him.
“I’m going to my friend’s house and play games. We will have a hot chocolate together. I promise I make you one, alright ?” His face was red, with a few scratches and a hint of old scratches. That was exactly what have happen before. Right before our long, painful farewell.
“P-Promise ?” The small me said. I slightly gasped as I know what will happen next. My small hand is there, holding onto his wet shirt. Don’t let go, Mi. I said to myself, hoping it won’t be the same as before.
“I promise. Get in and get warm, alright ? I will be back later” Kihyun said and I shook my head. Don’t leave. You are not going back if you do that. Stop it !
“Okay..”, He helps me stands on my feet and he hug the small me one last time. My eyes trembled at the sight as tears started to flow down on my cheeks. Kihyun.. don’t leave. Please..
“You won’t forget me, right ?” He ask.
Don’t ask that questions again !
“Of course. I love you the most”
I beg you. Don’t leave me again..
“How much ?”
“More than how I love Taro”
I burst into tears, under the rain as I watch the farewell all over again. I see him running through the rain, under the coldness. With all that thunders and lightning.. will he be okay ? Do I have to wait for another ten years to find him again.. ?
I stands there, feeling dead inside as tears keep falling like the rain.
“Mihyun-ah”
I turn to my back. Crying so hard as I look at my parents. I put my hands on my mouth, trying to stop myself from crying. “You’re so cruel..” I said under my hiccups. “You leaves me alone and threw Kihyun away from us.. Why do I have to faced all of this by myself ?”
They just smiles to me. Their hands are sealed as they walk away, as if I am not there. I extend my
