(October 20, 2023 Words: 547)

It has been 3 hours since Hyunjin has been walking around the city, she couldn't feel anything but pain. It has been a year yet it felt like everything that happened a year ago just happened yesterday. She has never stepped foot on the hospital, she refuses to do so, she would probably break down even just by the thought of her seeing Jinsoul in whatever situation she's in right now. She has distanced herself from everyone else. She has been MIA from everyone's radar.

She has been avoiding the girl who she hoped is beside her to comfort her but she could only dream.

She needed help but she doesn't want anyone else to pity or be sad for her.

Sitting on the bench she watches the sun setting. "You can't keep avoiding everyone else you know?" To her surprise Heejin is now seated beside her, she was unable to say anything but just stare at the girl that her heart has been longing for, "You need comfort...you can't deal all these by your own..." Heejin continued and looked away before standing up,

She grabbed Hyunjin's hand, "Let's get you something to eat."

Hyunjin stared at Heejin who was eating quietly, she brought her to a small restaurant but comfortable and welcoming. She hasn't touched her food yet, she was busy watching the girl and still trying to process everything. Jeon Heejin is now in front of her, how did she even know where Hyunjin was?

"Your phone. You still have my Apple account." Hyunjin was confuse but then she realized she's still using Heejin's Apple account. She must've tracked Hyunjin through find my iPhone. "Why?" Her first word. Boy her voice was rusty and weak,

She hasn't spoken to anyone nor to herself it was like she couldn't speak.

Heejin stopped from eating and looked at Hyunjin, "I can't see you being all like this. As much as I don't want to talk to you or be near you, what you're doing for the past year is killing me." She replied with a hint of annoyance yet gentle trying to not stress the girl more. A small smile appeared on Hyunjin's face. For the first time since that day she finally cracked up a smile.

Of course Heejin would make her smile, just being with her gives her a little happiness.

She finally started eating her food without uttering another word.

Both finished eating and sat there quietly.

"You have been missing class but I'm surprise you still managed to keep your grades up high."

"Jinsoul unnie would not like to see me fail. So I'm trying my best." She trailed off realizing she mentioned her name again. She had been thinking about Jinsoul for so long, not a single minute she haven't thought about her. Heejin frown and sigh.

"Have hope. She'll wake up soon." She hesitated but did it anyway, placing her hand on top of Hyunjin's and gave her a comforting smile. This made the other girl's heart beat fast. The soft warm feeling of her hand made her feel comforted and relieved that she's not alone. She hasn't lost her..

You still have the chance to make it right

That's right..she still have hope..if she does it right.
