He Was Never Mine [JJK X Reader] 💜

39. Spring Day 💜

Present:

"Hello? Who is this?", I asked soon after lifting the call and my eyes went wider than a football when I realised the voice.

"Hyejin-a, I am your uncle, how have you been? I am really sorry for not reaching out to you all this time. I am calling you to inform you that Halmoni is no more. You have to come and say the final goodbye to her.

Her lawyer said that her will says you must be there at her funeral and be the chief mourner. I know I am being shameless but if you don't come we may not be able to get to know the division of her assets.

Please come as soon as possible. Halmoni is waiting for you", my uncle, my mother's own brother said.

I couldn't sense any sort of sadness in his voice as he is all concerned about Halmoni's assets.

I couldn't say anything for a while because it's really hard for me to process what he just said.

"Ne (Okay)", I said to him as a response which came out as a whimper because I can no longer hold my emotions.

He disconnected the call and I collapsed on the chair, staring at nothing, while tears continuously flowing on my cheeks.

"Hyejin-a, what happened? Who was on the line? What made you collapse like this?" Misoo asked me and is panicking as I am still.

"Please try to say something or else you might end up having another panic attack and I may end up calling him again.

I think that's the last thing you wanted to happen so please say something, sweetheart", Misoo said, clearing my tears, trying to be as sweet as possible and I cried out a lot when she mentioned 'him'.

"It's....uncle.....he said.... Halmoni is no more", I sobbed hard and hugged her.

"I will go to her Misoo-a, I want to see her at least once. I have to be there so that she can rest in peace. I think she and I have only each other as a family.

I lost the only family I have now. What should I do now? I think I can't live anymore. For whom I have to live?

I can't be a burden to you, Mom and Dad too. You are not in any relationship so far because of me", I said after clearing my throat and I couldn't waste any time crying.

I need to leave as soon as possible.

"Hyejin-a, I can totally understand your situation. You are not in the right state of mind to make any decision. You are not even processing anything before you speak. Let's discuss everything later, once things get better.

She is not only your Halmoni, mine too. Don't you dare forget that even if you are facing a hard time. You know very well how I used to be close with her when she was in Korea while running the cafe. I missed her a lot, at least you got a chance to talk with her but I didn't.

Now let's leave. We can't make her wait", Misoo said and she is also crying now, making it hard for me to stay calm.

Misoo and I informed that we are going to be on leave for at least 2 weeks from now to our Professors and they immediately accepted our leaves after looking at my condition.

Thanks to Dad, being the biggest business man in South Korea, he arranged a private plane for us to leave for Canada.

How stupid of me, when I thought I lost my only family I have because, Misoo, mom and Dad, without thinking twice started along with me when they heard the news from me.

This is what family does.

I am not alone. I have to be strong so that Halmoni can leave happily. Even though I will be like this for a while. I will definitely try to be happy soon.
