[Myah]
"No... no no... YOU'RE TOO YOUNG! IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!"
"What do you mean, unnie?"
"Kids her age should be getting Cherry Blossoms! 7 years left to live! It's in the books!" Nurse Kwon stands up abruptly, her chair falling on its back with a slight thud
"Unless..."
"Unless what?" Yeseo unnie asks, standing up to comfort her sister-in-law "Unless a parent of hers experienced it" Nurse Kwon looks at me, begging for an answer "But mom and dad never experienced it though..."
"And yet, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, MYAH! One of thems has had to have experienced it!" Nurse Kwon grips onto my shoulders, shaking me as a sign of distress
"Okay! Okay! I'll ask them! Just please stop shaking me, I'm getting dizzy-" She removes her hands in a hurry and apologizes "Thank you, please do tell me about your conversation" I nod
[The next day]
So they really did experience it....
"Mom? Dad? Did any of you ever get the Hanahaki..?" I speak up making everyone stop eating
"What are you taking about, My? They obviously haven't" Hyeju unnie gives a snarky remark, earning a slap to the head from Chaeyoung unnie "Hyeju" Unnie then apologizes
I look back up at Mom and Dad, waiting for an answer "Well..." Dad looks at Mom, she nods "You see, sweetie... I got the Hanahaki years ago during college" Mom pauses, Dad takes her hand in his
"I started liking your dad then after a while, the flowers came in..." We stay quiet "Mine were Daisies... but somehow, in a miracle, your father fell in love with me 3 days before my last breath..." She smiles softly, looking at Dad, caressing his hand with her thumb
"I'm sorry we kept it from you all..."
"It's alright Mom, we understand" Chaeyoung unnie smiles at the both of them
"So that's a 'yes'..."
"Why did you ask, Myah?" I stay quiet, pushing my food around the plate "Myah... answer Mom's question" Hyeju unnie demands
She figured that out quite quickly
"Myah..." I hear Mom's voice shaking "Tell me who it is, Myah. I'll fucking beat the--"
"Hyeju!" Chaeyoung unnie scolds "Myah... tell us about this, please..." And so, we spent the rest of the night talking about my situation
"Yah! Son Myah!" I stop in my tracks
Yujin unnie
"How have you been, kid? It's been a while" I look up at the tall puppy-like girl who stands in front of me "I've been doing great, unnie. Algebra just hurts to look at" I chuckle, earning a big heartily laugh from her "Sucks for you~"
"Not my fault you decided to drop out! Besides, I wanna make Mom and Dad proud" She pats my head "That's great, kid. Tho, I gotta run, see ya later, My!" To that, she runs off
"Mm!" That unnie's such a pup
Huh? Mao unnie? Why is she running?
I decide to run after her I hate how tall she is, she's too fast with those legs of hers
After a minute or so of trying to figure out as to where she dashed off to, I finally saw her. Standing in front of the faucet, panting and breathing heavily. Something I'm all too familiar with and I hope I'm wrong
I approach her and unfortunately... I was right. Mao unnie has it...
"Mao unnie" I pat her arm, earning a very high-pitched scream from the tall girl "Geez, I know I'm small but you have no rights to get scared like that!"
"Sorry" She chuckles lightly but her eyes widen in realization a few seconds after "Myah- It's not what it looks like-"
"Don't even lie. I know it is what it looks like, unnie" I cut her off, my words coming off as rude "Besides..." I soften my tone "I'm keeping the same secret..." I smile, in an attempt to comfort her, to which, I failed miserably
"YOU'RE WHAT?!" She yells out in a flurry of panic and worry "WHAT FLOWER AND WHEN DID IT STA-- Mmph!" I shut her up by putting a hand over her mouth
"Shhh, lower your voice will you?" I furrow my eyebrows at the older girl, earning a muffled sorry. I remove my hand "I'll tell about mine once you tell me yours. Who is it?"
"Well... It's uh..."
"It's...?"
"It's.. mmnn.." I tilt my head to the side "Huh?"
"It's Yeseo..." She looks left and right, her eyes shaking "Oh..."
Right. Yeseo unnie's with Xingqiao unnie...
"The flowers?" I add "White Roses... Now tell me yours" Her eyes shifted from embarrassed to demanding "Alright, I'll tell you. Just chill" She raises her brow, signaling me to continue
"It's Hiyyih unnie and the flowers ar--"
"HIYYIH?!" Oh for fuck's sake- "Shush! And as I was saying..." I trail off, glaring at her as a warning "I got Daisies"
"WHA-- Mmph!!" Why can't she just shut up-
"Yes, I got Daisies so shut u-"
"So you two have it too?" A voice suddenly sounds
"JTGSKGYRH AHHH-- Mm-" I feel a hand on my mouth. I look down at it. Looks familiar
"Chill. It's me. Chaehyun" To this, both Mao unnie and I let out a sigh of relief before we both look at each other, eyes wide once more
Mao unnie raises her hand, five fingers up, signaling a countdown. She glances at the gym doors, I nod as she starts putting a finger down
4... 3... 2... 1... RUN!
"HEY!" We both escape Chaehyun unnie's grasp and run straight into the gym. I look back at the shorter unnie and notice that she's just standing there, dumbfounded
Instead of pondering her actions any further, I take a turn, running towards the Junior High School building
What did she mean by that...
