Death...why is it's so cruel and undeniable? Why does it take from us our loved ones? Why??? God? Why?
'Are you ok there? Are afraid? Can you see me? You never deserve this painful death .'
I sighed as I felt my tears crawling down my cheeks. My eyes are burning as I am feeling so empty inside me.
I need you, Irene. I am fucking alone. I can't bear the pains anymore. Not anymore...
"Jin Oppa?" I heard Dahyun and quickly wiped my tears.
"Oppa...Why are you here? Everyone is asking for you ." Dahyun said as sat beside me on the bench.
"I don't want to go there," I said looking down on my feet.
"She wanted you to give her last goodbye. Please for her sake." Dahyun said softly and I looked at her. Suddenly I felt the urge to cry out of my lungs. I hugged her and tears found their way to come out.
"I know Oppa, everything became too much hard to bear. But you can't change your destiny. At least keep her last wish." Dahyun said while patting my back and I nodded.
I pulled back from the hug and she wiped my face with a tissue.
"Oppa, I am always with you," Dahyun said giving me a comforting squeeze on my hand and I gave an I know that look.
We stood up and went to her coffin.
Everyone is looking at me with sympathetic eyes and I looked at dad who gave me a sad smile. I roamed my eyes around and found some of our high schoolmates.
I stand in front of her coffin and took a deep breath before looking at her.
She is sleeping peacefully. Her beauty seems flawless and her hair are looking soft as flower petals. She is shining like the sunray.
With my shaking hands, I touched her face and choked on my tears.
"You don't deserve it. You don't...Why God was so cruel to you? Why do you only bear pain in your whole life? Why I couldn't be your side? You helped me but I couldn't help you back. I couldn't..." I mumbled under my breath and want to slap myself.
I felt a light grip on my shoulder and I looked at the person.
"Son, she is free from her pains now. Don't cry. Gave her a happy goodbye." Jisoo's grandpa said but his teary eyes are reflecting inside of him; broken, hurt, and bleeding...
I hugged him and stayed for a while. He never thought of me as an outsider. I remember when I was alone Jisoo and her family treat me as their child. They were the ideal family that I always dreamt of. But, now grandpa and grandma became alone, no one left to hold them. I can't even imagine how they are feeling right now.
I pulled back from the hug and Nodded. I took out a flower from my inner coat pocket and placed it on her chest.
In my funnel, please come and give a flower on my chest. At least I could die peacefully.
"You loved red tulip, don't you? Remember the day when I scratched a red tulip from the flower shop cuz you wanted one but we both run out of money? We had a lot of fun that day." I wiped my tears."You will always be alive in my memories, in the memories of us. I wouldn't say goodbye; let's see you again. ok?" I tried to control it but couldn't. So I stepped back and walk away.
.............
"Love, I need you. Today I attended Jisoo's funeral. I am feeling so messed up and heavy inside me. I want to talk to you. I ne-need to he-hear you." My voice cracked at the last while my tears dropped on Irene's hand.
It's been 3 weeks since she is in a coma. I am sitting beside her, holding her hands and staring at her emotionless face with my teary eyes.
Flashback of the accident
"Nurse!! Quickly arrange the operation room!!!"
I am hearing faintly a man is shouting and people are Hollering around me. I thought I am dead but suddenly I am hearing blurry sounds.
'Where is Irene?'
I want to ask but nothing coming out of my mouth. My head is heavy like rock, my throat is dry and it feels like I am caged in my body.
Timepass .....
"Wa-water," I said with my husky voice and now feeling quite good. But the pain in my head is still throbbing.
"Kookie! Dad! Jin Oppa got in a sense!!" Dahyun hollered as helped me to sit properly and handed me water.
Jungkook and dad rushed into the room and dad's eyes were teary. Jungkook and Dahyun hugged me and dad just shed his tears looking at us.
"I am okay guys. Stop getting clingy. And dad I am ok. Stop crying." I said smiling at them and they nodded.
"Where is Irene? I want to see her." I asked but their face turned blue. Stealing glances; but not answering or even looking at me.
"Dad, whe-where is Irene?" Dad said nothing just looked at me with sympathy but Jungkook said, "Irene unnie is in a coma."
Present Time
"Mr.Kim! Mr.Kim!" I felt a light tap on my shoulder as well as someone calling my name. I slowly opened my eyes; didn't realize when I fall asleep beside her.
"Oh! Doctor. Sry, I dozed off."
"No problem. You are caring care of your wife for a long time without resting. But I think you should take care of yourself also. You just got well." The doctor said concerned and I nodded.
"Doctor, how is she? Is there any progress?" I asked him curiosity but his expression become cold.
"Mr.Kim your wife lost a great amount of blood even got hurt on her back head. It's miracle that she survived but she is now in a coma and I can't say when she will gain consciousness. All you can just wait. But you can take her home. She is quite good now."
The doctor said as started his regular check-up.
'I should take her home. I can take care of her more and her environment will change.' I said myself as shook my head and told him," I want to take her home."
