The Accident
"Young Kang, are you sure you're really going to this place?" Mr. Lim asks as he stops the car.
"Yes," I replied and fixed myself. "This might help me though," I smiles. "Please wait for me here," I added before going out of the car.
I paused before I enter the restaurant's door even if the staff already opened it for me. What kind of people I'm going to meet today? They won't mock me for not remembering a thing about them, right? This is nerve wracking but still I hope Kim Woo Hyun is in here.
"Taehyun!"
It's Yun Oh. I smile and we bumped our fists. "Hey, I thought you're going to dumped us again," he laughs and leads the way to the table.
"Why would I even do that?" I chuckles.
"Because you always do that. You always ditch group celebrations like this or even group study. You are always with Woo Hyun," he complaints. "Here they are," he said as we reach the long table.
I look at them one by one. They are all familiar faces but I can't remember them all. This is our high school reunion after five years. Most are professionals now and some got married already.
"Everyone! Our very own Kang Taehyun!" Yun Oh introduced and I heard some claps and cheers.
"Whoa! Taehyun! So you're still alive?" the other guy jokes. "You might not remember me but you kicked me once in the head because I blocked your way," he added and they all laugh.
Me? Am I that violent? I just bitterly laugh at it.
"Have you been well, Taehyun?" it's a lady's voice and I look for it. Who was this again?
"Omo! There's no way you can forget Saejin!" one of them reacted.
Saejin? Kwon Saejin?
"She's your ex," I heard Yun Oh whispered and I quickly frown at him while pointing at myself. "Anyway, just sit beside her, that's the only space."
It was so awkward! Or maybe it's just me? This Saejin was my ex and I heard a lot of stories about us too. I started to regain some of my high school memories thanks to them. But why is he isn't here?
I raised my hand a little to grab their attention. "By the way, where is Kim Woo Hyun?"
The table went silent and some murmured. Why? What's the matter with Woo Hyun? I look at Yun Oh and he purse his lips.
"He died," Saejin answered and glance at me. "We just found out recently that he died a year ago," she answered.
No way. There's no way he's dead.
I nod, "I see... I hope he's in peace now..." I smile for a second before gulping beer.
The conversation continued and the laughter begins when some are already drunk. They started laughing at how they got disciplinary actions, how they ditch school, how they learn how to drink, and how they even have their crushes.
I walk out for a minute because I feel uneasy about hearing Woo Hyun's death but Saejin comes after me. We both leans on the wall, both of my hands are inside my coat's pocket and I saw her started lighting cigarette. I just let her do what she wants.
"Aren't you curious?" she asks. "Why Woo Hyun died?" she added and inhaled her vices.
"Why?" I just asked.
