Broken Hope
Seaside
As it was already late, we decided to go home. We walked until we reached the bus station. Sungmin’s house was near so I wanted to walk with him, but he insisted that I should go home and that my parents might get worried. We had a little argument, but I gave up when he gave me a peck on my cheeks. Sigh. The amazing power of love and kisses.
The bus finally arrived, and I started to climb aboard. When I looked back at him, he just waved and said goodbye. As the bus drove away, I clutched my chest tightly. I didn’t know the reason why, but it hurt. It hurt really bad that I wanted to cry. A lot of thoughts suddenly came to my mind. A lot of what ifs. I didn’t know where it came from, but I didn’t like it. An image of a man lying in the middle of the road flashed on my mind. Is that a vision? I felt stupid because of that thought because it was not even possible. Isn’t it?
Panic started to build up in my chest. Anxiety. Worry. Hope. Hope that everything was fine. That nothing was wrong. That that man I saw in my mind was not Sungmin.
I stopped the bus, not knowing what I was doing. I ran to his house even though getting a taxi was much faster. I did not realize what I was doing until I reached the road three blocks away from Sungmin’s house. And what I saw was something that will scar my heart for the rest of my life.
A body. A man’s body, to be exact, was lying on a pool of blood in the middle of the road. I was staring at the figure when it suddenly hit me.
That man wears the same shirt as my Minnie.
That man wears the same watch that I gave my Minnie on his birthday.
That man wears the same shoes that my Minnie loves to wear.
No.
It can’t be. That’s not him. I’m sure that’s not him. Right?
I’m begging you, God. Please don’t make that him.
I could not believe what I was seeing. It seemed impossible. My luck might not be that bad, but every hope that I felt left my body as I slowly walked to the man.
That man wears the same ring that I gave Sungmin for our anniversary.
Tears started to flow from my eyes. I kneeled down and touched the man’s face. With dread, the truth dawned upon me. It was Sungmin’s beautiful face in the middle of the pool of blood. I looked at his body and saw a stab on his stomach. Just by looking at it, I knew that there was only a slim chance of him surviving.
No, he still can! Sungmin was one of the strongest people I had met. He stayed by my side when my parents died and never left until he made sure that I wouldn’t kill myself from depression. He never cried when his grandmother died so as not to make his parents worried. He can still survive this.
I quickly reached for my phone, my hands trembling. I called for ambulance and urged it to come as fast as it could.
“Sungmin, please don’t leave me.”
“I’m begging you! Don’t leave me!”
“I love you, Sungmin! Do you hear me? I love you!”
I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but I saw a smile. So small, that I barely saw it.
I heard the siren of the ambulance. I held on to Sungmin’s hands tightly while the medics got out of the van and started coming to our direction. One medic pulled me out of the way while the others started doing their job.
I heard the medic talking to me, but nothing registered in my head. I could only think of Sungmin. The only man in the world that I fell head over heels for, and the man I couldn’t stand the idea of losing.
