"The Last Goodbye Leads To The Next Hello"
"The Last Goodbye Leads To The Next Hello"
A crash from the kitchen is heard. The noise travels throughout the house.
Kimchi whimpers after.
Catherine and Hyunseong rush to the kitchen immediately.
"What happened!" My unnie cries.
I looked up at her.
"Sorry, I accidently knocked over the glass." I dragged myself to go get the broom, but stepped on a piece in the process.
As I cried in pain for a brief moment, my sister rushes to get the first aid kit. Hyunseong starts panicking along with her, trying to help her find the first-aid kit first of all.
I still made my way to get the broom and clean up the mess. Kimchi comes towards me. I had no idea what he wanted.
"I'm sorry Kimchi, did I scare you?" I tried to bend down to pet him, while trying to not place my injured heel on the floor.
Kimchi shakes his head.
"What is it? Are you hungry?"
He shakes his head once again.
"Then---"
"LAYLA!! HOLD ON!!" My sister and Hyunseong comes charging at me.
Oppa suddenly picked me up, and we transferred over to the living room.
He placed me on the couch.
My sister grabs a hold of my right ankle.
"Hold on little sis! I'll save you!" She takes the gauze and wraps the heck out of it on my bottom heel, as if it was bleeding a lot.
When she was done, I couldn't help but be afraid.
"YAH! We did it baby!" My unnie and oppa just high five each other.
"You were so brave!" Oppa says to her.
"No, you were!"
"Oh no, but you, you were the life saver."
My sister blushes.
"We were both brave." She hugs and kisses him.
Sooner or later that kiss, will lead to a make-out session, thus, leading themselves into the bedroom.
As they continued to each others faces off, I quietly snuck away.
It was difficult walking up the stairs I can tell you that.
Each step I took going up the darn thing, I uttered "Ow" every step and then.
When I finally made it to the top, Jeongmin walks out.
"Oh, so the demon is returning to it's lair aye?" Jeongmin smirks.
"Shut up! I'm not in a good mood." I limped my way to my room.
Well, tried to.
I tripped on my own pants, and fell flat on my face.
Jeongmin couldn't help but chuckle a little bit.
"Oh be quiet you---" I started to say.
Jeongmin actually helped me up.
"What happened to your heel?" He asks, still holding me up straight.
"I stepped on some glass. It wasn't even that big of a deal. My sister just over did the bandage."
I released myself from his grasp.
"Thanks" I said and dragged my sorry to my "Lair."
Jeongmin looked like he wanted to say something, but no words would come out.
As Jeongmin was making his way downstairs, grabbed a snack, and went right back up.
While downstairs, the make out session between his brother and noona was disturbing.
He quickly went back upstairs, and shut the door behind him.
He scopes the room.
Trying to figure out what else to pack next.
==========================================================================
As I lay in my bed, I stare at the ceiling.
The blank space was like a theater wall to me.
My eyes would be the film that plays back moments I've encountered.
That's exactly what happened.
Moments with Jeongmin came rushing back.
I would laugh whenever he got mad.
He has such a dumb face. . . .but in a good way?
No no no! What am I saying?
The only good about him is. . . . is. . . .
He's cruel! That's all he is!
I did say that. I did think that. But I didn't think about his perspective.
What he's been through, was awful.
I my side and closed my eyes. My temporary skin blue eyes.
I say he's cruel, but it's only because of what happened back then.
The moment I found out about his ex girlfriend replayed in my head once again.
The moment he cried his heart out in front of me.
My chest felt numb, and I could feel my heart slowly sinking.
I suddenly felt angry. I couldn't do anything to help.
I was nothing.
I was useless.
At this point I didn't know what to do.
I couldn't make up my mind.
I had no idea what I wanted.
This pisses me off.
What heck do I want!
=======================================================================
The next morning came. It was a short day. Jeongmin was going to move out after school apparently.
Luckily the blue washed out and my face was back to normal as well.
While we all sat at the table for breakfast, for the last time, I couldn't even begin to describe the awkward tension between us.
My unnie looked like she was about to burst into tears.
"Jeongmin, do you really have to go! You can stay! We don't mind!..." She steps on my foot, and as I yelped in pain I hit my knee too.
Bonus pain points!
Jeongmin started to laugh his off.
I was going to say something, but I didn't have anything to say.
I just stopped myself, and resumed eating.
Jeongmin stopped laughing too. He was waiting to hear a comeback.
"Noona, she must be sick, because she didn't reply with an insult or threat."
My sister looks over at me worried.
I just didn't care. I wasn't all that happy for some reason.
As soon as breakfast was done, my sister hugged Jeongmin and said her farewell as if they would never meet again.
He smiled and hugged her back.
I was already out the door.
"Aigoo that girl." My sister hugged him one last time. "Be a good boy okay?"
He whines."Ah noonaaaa don't treat me like some little kid! I'm a man!" He bows, thanks her, and leaves.
My sister sat down, and looked at Kimchi.
"I'm going to miss you guys so much." She picks Kimchi up and hugs him.
=======================================================================
Jeongmin walks, following me, slowly catching up.
I stopped suddenly. This urge or this feeling overwhelmed and took over my body.
"Jeongmin!" I turned around to face him.
He just gives me his stink face. "What do you want?"
I gulped, and stuck out my hand.
"Since you won't be living with us anymore, we should try starting over and becoming friends."
He looked at my hand, and then at my face.
Then......
he laughed.
"Whatever." He walks by smiling, smirking, grinning, whatever the expression was he was the opposite of mad.
As he gently placed his hand on my head and said "Just get your injured to school, shorty." then walked on ahead.
I stood there. Once again, blushing. Every skin contact we make I get all warm inside.
It's just with him mostly. Why?
=====================================================================
'The heck is she talking about? Becoming friends? With her? Not in this lifetime!'
Jeongmin kept on walking, pace getting faster with every step.
He wasn't paying attention, he almost walked passed the school!
As he entered, to him, it felt like the last day of school. The last day of something.
He told himself that this feeling was nothing, that he must have drunk some alcohol at some point yesterday and that the effects are still in.
He shook his head trying to erase the thought, but it remained.
He felt like he was going to miss something.
What was it?
He thought of several, but he didn't want it to be true.
'I AM NOT GOING TO MISS HER!!' He yelled inside his mind.
Poor boy, because Layla was thinking the same.
====================================================================
"Whatever! I didn't want him to be my friend anyway!" I crossed my arms and kept on walking, er limping.
My heart raced as the tingle from Jeongmin's touch on my head lingered. I could feel my skin get warm and my body get weak.
I tried to forget but my body wouldn't allow it.
I know what my body was telling me.
'I'M NOT GOING TO MISS HIM DAMN IT!' Then, I ran to school like an idiot.
Making my injury worse.
===================================================================
As I walked in, I saw Jeongmin.
We saw each other, but he turned away as soon as eye contact was made.
I looked the other way too, then I sat down next to him.
As the bell rung for class to start.
It was nothing but lessons,
and an awkward atmosphere.
===================================================================
As soon as I got home it felt empty. Nobody was home yet.
I was super tired.
I sat on the couch and started to doze off.
Before you know it I hear someone opening the door.
"WOO HOO! I LEAVE TODAY!"
I open my eyes and threw a pillow at him.
"Aish just hurry up and get out of here!"
"Awww is Layla going to miss me?"
I got mad.
"HECK NO! I'm GLAD you're leaving"
He frowns.
"Same here. I can't wait to leave!"
I stay silent.
He looks over at me, and didn't say anything.
Next thing you hear, is him storming up the stairs.
Several minutes later his stuff is all down and ready to be put into his car.
I peak over behind the couch to see.
Man did he have a lot of crap.
I cooled down and started to help him load the stuff into the car.
"What are you doing?" He asks.
"Helping." I sarcastically replied.
"You don't have too."
"It's fine."
I carry the small stuff, he handles the big stuff, eventually, he was ready to leave.
When the car was done, he came back inside to grab a soymilk.
I looked up at him, and he looked at me.
Then we avoided eye contact.
Suddenly, he stuck out his hand.
"Let's be friends" He says.
I felt like was hearing wrong.
I looked at his hand.
"Well?" He asks.
I smiled finally and shook his hand.
"Friends" I said.
With that I bent down to say goodbye to Kimchi.
He really did not want to leave.
"Can I keep him instead" I whined.
"No!" Jeongmin shouts.
I chuckled, and in the corner of my eye, I could see a small smile appear on his face.
With that, Jeongmin left.
I waved goodbye and that was that.
Now I was alone in the house.
Alone. . .
Waiting for my sister to come home.
============================================
2 months has passed. Jeongmin and I barely talk, The only time we talked was during first period in school.
Just on stuff about the lesson, nothing more. It was better than fighting all the time tho.
Him moving out was for the best for everyone.
Elaine and Youngmin were doing great too. Her grades have improved and Elaine's dad is started to like Youngmin more.
Jenny and Kwangmin were as cute and cheesy and ever. Goofy couple is how I describe them.
KwangJenDorks is what I call them. Anita and Minwoo are always cute. Minwoo is so nice. The perfect couple.
I'm still single.
Oppa and Unnie are going on strong too.
Things have gotten good in the past two months.
Until...

Present day.
November TH 2012.
I'm here with my sister. With whatever was left of our things.
In front of a mansion, waiting for someone to answer the door.
The door opens..
"Ah come in, come in!" Hyunseong says.
My sister bows and I did as well.
Well, goodbye house.
