Next day
"Y/n, I'm leaving early today. Take care of the store and close it on time."
"Yes peter"
Bookstore. My workplace since 18 months. It doesn't pay much but atleast here I can escape my reality for a little while. I hope no university accepts me. I know I said I will move on but it seems impossible.
Ting
I come back to my senses as someone enters the store.
"Well, hello there daydreamer!"
"Joanna! Hey" I smile.
"Here's the book I issued last week. And now imma hunt for a new one" she chirps.
"Thank you. I have a new thriller novel for you. Do you want me to show you?" I suggest.
"Oh no no. I'm taking a break from all that thrill. Where's the romance section though?"
Romance?
"Don't look at me like that. I'm a girl after all, I need my regular dose of fantasies" she says jokingly.
"Sure you do. Its last row from the left."
"You should smile more. You are really pretty y/n. I still can't understand why you are single!" She winks at me before looking for her book.
After a few moments
"FOUND IT". I hear her shout. She really loves to read.
He did too.
She brings the book to me and while I was writing the details of issue, I hear her say
'I will look for you in every lifetime
Until we finally stay.'
My fingers stop typing on the computer. I looked at her wide eyed.
"Aww man, this is the most Romantic shit I've ever read" she says looking at me.
I smile and complete filling out details and she leaves the store after thanking me.
It was time to close the store. I lock it and make my way back home. Night was setting slowly. A few stars were visible.
"Calm down love"
"Calm down? You don't understand Namjoon, he broke her heart." I fires back.
"Its just a TV show y/n. And you know the plot, they will have their happy ending. " he tries to reason with me.
" you are right. They will have a happy ending."
"Namjoon?"
"Yes love?"
" I know its a show but how can he give up on her like that? He loves her. Then why not wait for her to come back to him? She's lost but she still loves him."
"He's an asshole for giving up" he smiles at me.
"What if I got lost someday? Would you give up on me too?" The question slips out of me without even myself realizing it.
He looked taken aback. But I can still feel his words that he spoke next.
" I will look for you in every lifetime until you finally stay, love"
He lied. He lied. I wish I knew he was lying at that time. I wish I knew he was the one who will get lost and not me.
I kept my promise. I waited for him. Still standing where he left me. But he never came back.
Tears, pain, longing, him. That's what my life has become now. He had the kindest heart, couldn't even hurt tiniest of beings. He loved everyone and everything around him. Then why not me? Was i that unlovable?
I stop and dry my tearstained face with my shirt sleeves. Good thing this darkness won't let anyone see my miserable state.
........................
"I'm home aunt jane" I shout to let her know.
"Welcome back sweetie. Freshen up,I have a very good news for you."
What? Good news? Do i still have something good in my life?
Mindlessly i came back after showering and see her sitting on the couch talking to someone on phone. She gestures me to come towards her. She cuts the call and chirps
"Y/n, my daughter, you got admission in a university. They accepted you. I'm so happy for you"
What? How? But-
Before I could process this information she shoots some more.
" pack your bags, the semester had already begun and you will be leaving tomorrow evening for Seoul."
"S-Seoul? Korea? But I didn't applied there aunt."
"I did. And see they accepted you."
"But I don't want to go to Korea. Maybe we should wait? I'm sure some other university will want me" I say on the verge of crying.
"Y/n you are in no position to chose. You will take this opportunity and go. No more discussion."
She leaves me there and goes to her room.
Seoul? She wants me to forget him then why send me where it all began? Why? He will be there. How can I move on when I know he will be in the same city as me? So close. How will I not want to run into his arms and beg him to take me back.
They said God gives you what you can handle. Does he think so highly of me that he won't stop making my life more miserable.
What was my fault in all this? I just loved him. Then why do I suffer?
