Goodbye Soule

-----------------------Hyunrin POV-----------------------

Hyunrin was moving from her home city Soule. She loved her house so much. So many memories were made there and now she had to say goodbye to it all.

"Yo, cheer up Rin. We'll have a better place." Johwa, her older brother, tried to get her mind off things as they drove away in the truck. Maybe it was for the best.

Hyunrin sat in the back of the truck, putting in earbuds as she looked outside of the window with a frown. She sighed, knowing that she wouldn't know anybody at her new school. Hyunrin looked down at her phone, trying to ignore her two older brothers fighting on the seats next to her. Hyunrin eventually closed her eyes, trying to sleep.

But it was impossible to do so. She opened her eyes again, sitting up in her seat.

"How far away is our new house?." Hyunrin questioned, to which her father didn't reply. She frowned, slouching down in her seat and looking back at her phone with a gloomy expression. She eventually found a song, putting on 사회적 경로.

Hyunrin leaned her head against the window, staring out into the dark night outside as the truck rumbled down the highway. Her brothers' relentless fighting and squabbles in the seat behind her were driving her up the wall, but she tried her best to ignore them, hoping desperately that it was all just a dream. The soothing melodies of her favorite songs played quietly through her headphones, offering her a small respite from the chaos that threatened to overwhelm her.

As the truck continued down the highway, Hyunrin's mind began to wander. She thought about her life back home, the stress of her studies, and her friends and family. The music playing in her headphones seemed to lull her into a deep state of contemplation, as if the world around her was slowly fading away.

But then, suddenly, her reverie was interrupted by a particularly loud fight between her brothers, their shouts echoing through the cabin of the truck. Hyunrin groaned, silently cursing them under her breath. She considered telling them to shut up, but knew from experience that it would only make things worse. Instead, she pulled the volume dial on her headphones, cranking it up another notch. The music grew louder, drowning out the sound of her brothers' fighting and replacing it with a pleasant, comforting drone. Hyunrin closed her eyes, trying to lose herself in the music and escape the world outside.

She could feel the tension slowly ebbing away, replaced by a sense of peace and tranquility. Hyunrin felt herself starting to drift off, the soft hum of the engine and the steady rhythm of the music lulling her into a state of semi-consciousness. The sound of her brothers' arguing faded into the background, just a distant echo of the outside world.

She snuggled deeper into her seat, pulling her jacket tighter around her in a vain attempt to get comfortable. The road was still bumpy under the weight of the truck, and every so often, a pothole would send them bumping and jolting. Despite the discomfort, Hyunrin felt herself being pulled further and further into a peaceful sleep. The music continued to play in her ears, its soft melody a soothing balm to her tired mind. She felt like she was floating in a sea of calm, blissfully unaware of the chaos going on around her.

Gradually, the truck's speed began to slow, and Hyunrin felt the vehicle start to turn onto a rougher road. The sudden change in pace jostled her awake, her eyes fluttering open as she glanced out the window. The dark shadows of trees loomed like giant sentinels in the night, their branches like silent, skeletal hands reaching out towards the stars.Hyunrin let out a frustrated sigh, her brief moment of peace slipping away.

She could feel the tension building in her shoulders again, the fight of her brothers only making her more frustrated. She closed her eyes once more, trying to block out the noise and find that state of tranquility she'd experienced earlier, but the damage had been done. She was wide awake now, and there was no going back to sleep with the constant noise and jostling.

Hyunrin resigned herself to her fate and opened her eyes, staring out into the night once more. The music still played in her ears, but it no longer offered her the same comfort it had before. Instead, it just felt like a faint, background noise, unable to drown out the sounds of her brothers' fight and the relentless jostling of the truck.
