6. The Return

The surgery and rehabilitation went really well, because I chose the decision to travel abroad around the time I rose up to stage 3 leukemia was really helpful and lucky according to some doctors. It's been three in a half years, since I flew out here, I looked really different from my fourteen year old self. I've matured and gotten better eyesight, due to the healthy diet I had, at the Rehabilitation Center. Even though I was still a little nearsighted, I didn't really need my glasses anymore. My hair grew longer reaching the lower part of my back as my airy bangs grew out making me seem more older and mature. It seemed my voice slightly changed and I grew TWO INCHES TALLER making me officially 5'4!

I stayed in contact with Seo-Yeon, Soo-Ah, and my family. Staying in contact with Jung-Kook was very difficult as he was constantly traveling all over the country to promote their groups' comebacks and tours.

Ji-Soo went to America with me and continued her career as a physicist, however because she stayed with me in the center sometimes, she expanded her knowledge, not only receiving her doctorate degree, but her MED and PhD my family was so proud she returned back to Korea a few months before all the rehabilitation and check-ups were done.

In a way I wasn't ready to return back, back to the very place I began my journey. Although I missed everyone so dearly I felt overwhelmed about returning home. Should I go back after leaving just like that?I did leave everyone and didn't listen to them when they tried convincing me otherwise, but I'm better now. What about my dream? I never accomplished it, only a few steps of getting there. I was so close, but cancer ruined everything.I mean who could I blame. Myself? Jung-Kook? Seo-Yeon? No one... Should I give up my dream, and just join college and get a degree in education like Ji-Soo? Or should I not do anything but wait out where the wind would blow next?

A thousand thoughts ran through my head one stood out against the others somehow connecting all the doubt I had. When I go back, will everything be the same? Would Seo-Yeon, Soo-Ah and I be like sisters again? Would we have the same relationship we had before? What about Jung-Kook, I loved him more than anything. Does he still feel the same?

Once reinhabitation is over I'd be able to make a flight straight back to Korea or stay here for a few years and build a life where nobody knew my past, my sickness, my story... The option was tempting, to start a brand new life, or fix and continue an old one. I was torn between these two decisions. I made many decisions that affected my life in positive and negative ways but, what do I choose now? I needed advice some-one who doesn't know my story as well. Suddenly that person popped into my head. Hee-Young. She and I were friends during training sessions, but not close enough to show or tell anything personal. I yanked my phone from the white bedside table I had in my cool color room (blue,green, purple) and quickly found her contacts and facetimed her.

"Eun-Hye? Is that you?" Hee-Young asked, very confused.

"Yes," I replied. "I need your help,"

"What? My help? Where have you been I haven't seen you in like half a decade," Hee-Young exaggerated.

"Hey, it's only been about four years only! I'll explain everything to you when I tell you what I need help with." I added. Then explained to her what happened the past four years of why I was gone and the reason behind it.

"Wow! Just WOW! That's a lot to take in at once, give me a minute or so to process this... To get this straight the reason you left Korea was because you needed to go into surgery and rehabilitation in America and the drama leading up to the departure was because of ...?" Hee-Young clarified.

"Yes. Now my question from before should I stay or should I go?" I questioned curiously.

"Based on what you're telling me, I think you should come back. You should stop overthinking the situation and just follow your heart. Your heart did bring your dream a few steps closer anyway, there are people here missing you, like Seo-Yeon and Soo-Ah although they still act happy there's a hint of sadness deep down. Imagine that feeling, in all your other friends, family, and Jung-Kook. How do you think it will affect them?" Hee-Young advised.
