Memory Lane 19
MEMORIESI opened my eyes and looked everywhere, I'm back again in a familiar white room.
"How many times do I have to end up here?" I said and smiled bitterly.
I tried to get up when I saw a familiar figure beside me.
"Chorong-Unnie?" I uttered and she slowly stretch her arms and rubbed her eyes.
When she heard me, she went closer and grabbed my hand.
"Eunji-ah, Gwaenchana?" she asked with her worried eyes.
I nod at her then composed myself before responding.
"What are you doing here Unnie?" I asked her coldly.
She stood shock a bit about my response then sighed.
"The director called me" she calmly said.
I sneared at her, acting cold infront of her.
"Of course you'll be here, but I don't need your help Unnie" I said to her still in the same tone.
She put her hands back and hang her head low.
"Why are you acting like this Eunji-ah?" she said trying to calm her temper.
'I don't want you to see me like this Unnie' I thought but instead of responding to her I stayed quiet.
She sighed and looked at me in the eyes.
"You don't need to act though here Eunji-ah" she said.
I hang my head low while thoughts ran through my head.
"I know you overworked yourself to pay some debts but please don't throw your health away" she said.
I bit my lower lip holding my tears and looked at her.
"Why Unnie? Did I want this?" I said raising my voice at her.
"I don't want this Unnie!" I said and covered my face in frustration.
She looked at me challenging me to continue.
"Unnie, Why?" I continued "Why?" I whispered while the second wave of tears come.
To my suprise she came closer and hugged me.
"Unnie I did everything that I can, but why isn't enough?" I said while letting all out.
"Unnie, I'm tired already can I give up?" for the second time I asked her.
"Eunji-ah, be strong" She whispered to my ear while she cried with me.
"I'm tired Unnie" I said and sobbed.
"I'm tired of acting though
I'm tired of working
I'm tired of trying
I'm tired of always ending up in an hospital bed
I'm tired of everything
I'm tired of this life"
She touched my shoulders and made me looked at her.
"Jung Eunji" she uttered.
"No one asked you to be tough" she started while smiling softly at me.
"No one asked you not to rest when you're tired" she said.
