Reality
In the Limelight-10 July 2012-
I walked with Suzy down the hallway.
The hallway was buzzing with excited chatters as friends catch up with each other after the long term holiday.
“Over there Suzy, let’s sit over there.” I pointed to a table randomly as I tugged Suzy gently towards it.
“Save it, I’ll go get the food.” Suzy offered. I nodded appreciatively.
I picked a seat that has me facing the LCD TV hanging on the wall opposite. Entertainment while I eat, great.
I let my gaze wander around the cafeteria for awhile, hoping to catch sight of Jinki, Jinri and Jia before falling on the television screen.
There was some commercial and then newsbreak. Hmmm…not really my kind of entertainment but…oh well.
“Here are the headlines for today…” The female broadcaster appeared on screen and started reporting about major and minor things happening around Seoul.
It was starting to bore me right after the starting (Yeah, that’s how boring it is) when something caught my attention.
A small picture, namely Jia, appeared at the right corner of the screen.
“A 19-year-old teenage girl was found dead this morning……”
My senses went numb. The female broadcaster was probably reporting about her death and the possibilities behind it but right now, I couldn’t give a . Suddenly, the lively chatter of the cafeteria turned distant, everything felt far, far away. I felt like I was falling, falling, fallin
