ONE WISH - [성훈]

27 | dying self

Hanee sat on the cradle, the playground was unoccupied because it was late at night .

Hanee looked up to the dark sky , there were only two stars accompanying the moon that night .

Her lips curved up a bit ,
"Is that you ... Mum ? Haru ?"

"Are you watching me upside there ?"

"My life is so pathetic , i just got rejected by my own crush"
Hanee chuckled at her own words .

"Shame on me , I always considered my place special to him but it turned out to be I was hoping for something that didn't make sense"

"Why don't you take me with you two ?"

"Do I really deserve to be marginalized and suffer like this ?"

Hanee sniffed, she cried too much today.  Hanee stopped swinging the cradle and got up from it .

When she stood up, her head suddenly felt heavy.  It felt like the  gravity was pulling her down .

Her eyesight became blurred, she slowly lost her balance to walk .

When Hanee was about to fall, someone caught her "Are you alright, Hanee?"

"Heeseung ?"
Hanee uttered .

Heeseung immediately helps Hanee to sit on a nearby bench.  He took a bottle of water out of his bag and handed it to Hanee .

"Drink this"

Hanee nodded and gulped down the water without hesitation , she rubbed her sore throat .

"You look so pale , are you sick? "
Even though they were only illuminated by the dim moonlight, Heeseung could still see the change in Hanee's face .

She looked pale and very tired, even her white sclera turned yellowish .

"I'm fine , i'm just didn't get enough rest . I just finished my exam"
Hanee uttered .

"Are you sure ? You look so sick . We can go to the hospital together if you want"

Hanee shook her head , she handed the bottle back to Heeseung and bowed politely at the older .

"Thank you and i'm sorry"

"I'm sorry for yelling at you that time , i'm too carried away by my feelings"

Heeseung gave her a warm smile , he patted Hanee's shoulder .
"It's okay , i understood you . It's a painful past and you must be traumatized a lot"

"If you want anything, you can call me.  I will take care of you like my own little sister" Heeseung beamed happily as Hanee chuckled .

"I will"
Hanee said before waved her hands to Heeseung . The girl then stood up from the bench to walk to her apartment .
