I did as Hayul's mom said, walking straight to the hill. The more I walked, the more the houses and shops started to disappear. I was getting closer to green zone with almost no people around, just the road for the cars that pass by.
That's when I realized. A few steps later, I got to the biggest sunflower field, all the sunflowers looking to the sun. Of course, and as her mother stated, there she was, sitting on the grass just before the sunflowers.
I slowly walked to where she was, peacefully sitting down beside her. She probably knew I was coming, as she didn't even react.
"Are you here to take me back?"
"I am here to take you back, so your mom can show me how to paint, you're running me late"
"So you're here for you"
"Is that what you want me to say?"
"Tch... that question again" she rolled her eyes, "say what you want"
"I just said something you wouldn't know beforehand" I giggled.
"Why do you always go the opposite to what I say?"
"Because it's fun" I shrugged, she turned to look at me, serious. She's too cute. She started to stand up.
"What are you doing?"
"Let's go back so you can talk to mom"
"Sit down, idiot" I held her wrist and pulled her down. "You keep telling me to rely on you whenever I'm uneasy, and look at you doing the opposite of that."
"Why would you care.."
"Why would I care? Hmmm" I looked to the beautiful view of the flowers. "You're always taking care of me, why can't I take care of you?"
"You won't even be here for ever I guess" she followed me to look at the fields.
"So? That's got nothing to do with it."
"Aaahhhhhhh" she sighed heavily. "I know, I'm just talking nonsense, I'm sorry, I'm frustrated"
"I know you're frustrated, I want you to let it out"
"It's so ironic you're telling me this when you can't do that yourself whenever I tell you."
"Trust me, my reasons are different, that's all." I said.
She pouted annoyed, eyeing me. "Fine" she started.
"I told you before, but all my worries are my mom right now, I just want her to be happy"
"Don't you think she'd be happy to see you happy?"
"You don't get it! I don't want her to be alone all the time doing nothing or struggling with life, I just can't allow that!"
"Hayul, I understand that. But how are you going to take care of her if you don't take care of yourself first?"
She looked completely at me, resting her face over her hand. "I know, I know.. I'm just struggling a bit, I get it. I appreciate you're "worried" about me."
"Why do you say "worried" like I'm really not?"
"I'm just joking around"
"I'm sure you joke to ease the pressure." I untied my hair, it was getting cold. I guess the cold weather slowly came from the cabins.
"Look at you all wise"
"I guess I learned it from you" I smiled. She smiled wider, but immediately sighed, turning again her face the other way.
