You taught me to be strong,
now here I am dedicating these words for you.
You deserve to witness the best that I’ll ever become as a person.

/ SC 1 / You are Enough

[ U M J I ]

I can’t help but notice the sadness in Sowon unnie's eyes, her faded smiles, and her anxious thoughts...

...but I admire her. If someone will ask me who is my role model, I will surely say Sowon unnie's name. There is nothing braver than a warrior who fights every day just to survive. And I never met someone who's braver than her.

She taught me many things. She stayed with me when everyone else didn’t, and she made me believe that I can get through anything. I failed and broke down so many times that I lost count, but she helped me until I can find myself again. I couldn't be more grateful that I have Sowon unnie by my side.

I glanced at her. She's silently watching us like she's saving all these moments on her head. She never forgets to put a smile on her face despite the things happening around her. And I couldn't help but smile too.

I guess there is still hope amidst the situation.

"Did you already read my letter?" Sowon unnie asked me as I fix the flowers on the vase near her bed. I looked at her, hesitant on what should I answer. I don't want her to know that I never touched the letter after she gave it to me. I avoided her stares for a while. How can I tell her?

I put the last flower on the vase and turned to her. I am thankful that others are too busy with their own world. I don't want them to hear our little conversation.

Sowon unnie reached for my hand and put it on hers. I tried so hard not to show any sadness on my face. She stared right through my soul like she always does whenever she wants to read me.

"I knew you wouldn't dare to read that." She gave me a small smile. "But there's still a part of me that hoped that you'll do."

"U-unnie..." I struggled. How can I tell her? How can I tell her that I can't still accept the fact that I might lose her any moment? That I badly want to read the letter but I just couldn't. How can I tell her that I'm too afraid to read it, too weak to accept the fact that it might be the last letter I will read from her?

"It's okay." She smiled at me before I could even utter another word. "Read it when you're ready."

I bit back my lame excuses and look at her in the eyes. "I'm sorry, unnie... I just couldn't."

She hummed an answer and motioned me to sit on her side. She gave me a warm smile. I don't know what to do so I just sat still on her side. When I'm about to say a thing, she put her hand on my head and mess my hair. My eyes went wide, surprised by her actions, but I couldn't help but be affected by her laughs. So I let my self loosen up and giggled with her.

"Unnie no..." I whined, but she still looked at me with eyes full of warmth and love.

"My little munchkin grew up so well. I'm proud of you." She said, looking straight into my eyes. I became speechless again. What is she thinking? Why is she doing this?

"Look for your unnies when I'm gone, okay?" She poked my nose playfully and smiled like what she said was just a normal thing.

"Unnie, don't say that li
