"Happy birthday to you,happy birthday  to our baby "

- My parents sang while holding a beautiful chocolate cake on their hands. Chocolate has always been my favorite.

" My baby's 19!! "- exclaimed my mother.

My eyes were sparkling looking at them... Having a wide smile,I closed my eyes to make a birthday wish.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the piercing sound of gun shots made their way to my ears.

Opening my eyes, I found my parents lying on the ground, covered in blood...

I gasped and fastly bent down, shaking them,

" Mom! Dad! Wake up! No!! "

Then, I felt someone standing by me.

Slowly turning my head towards the person, I saw a black hooded guy. He was fully covered in black, not even his eyes could be seen by me.

He had a gun in his hand and then he pointed the gun at me.

° SHOOT °

I jumped up from my sleep. Gosh this nightmare again..

My eyes gradually filled with tears and my face was sweating..

It has been a week after my parents's unexpected death on my special day... I'm still having the same nightmare..

I always wanted my birthday to be full of surprises.. But I never imagined to have this kind of  surprise...

Both of my parents were found shot at their house on my 19th birthday...

The police found the bullets and they've confirmed that it's region is a special kind of gun which is really rare these days.

They found some CCTV footages from the nearby convenience store, of a black hooded guy entering the house but no footages of him exiting.

The guy seemed to be a middle aged man, according to his body shape.

They're still investigating the murder case. Well, what are they actually good in?.. They can't even solve a single thing!..

I slowly turned my night lamp on and drank a glass of water before wiping off the tears.

There lied the letter which was found from my mother's purse. She wanted to put it in my parcel.

My dear baby,

I hope you've got my parcel.

You're finally 19! I'm so happy and sad at the same time ! Happy, because you're now really grown up. AND, sad because we can't make it to be with you.

Aish.. These annoying works on researchs !.. We can't celebrate with you this year, sweetie. Don't worry, I've  ordered the cake for you and got you your extra pocket money, hmm?..

See inside the parcel.

I know, you'll love it..

Always remember that we love you, Ji-hae. And yeah! Don't skip your meals!

Your loving
Mother.

Tears started to roll down from my eyes as I readed the letter once again. Oh god... Why did they had to be so caring to me that in their absence, I'm feeling like I'm gonna die.. ?

I cried my heart out and was really feeling their importance.. Gosh.. I never felt this bad before..

I just don't want to believe that they are gone, for eternal...

°°°

Since I skipped school these days, I decided to go today.. Maybe, it'll help me forget about it a bit..

So, I went to school still, with my gloomy face. Nothing could cheer me up.. Huh? How would even anything cheer me up?..

I headed to my classroom and  sat down on my seat with a blank face.

Then, to my annoyance, someone popped up in front of me.. And by the body, I can sense it to be Yeonjun..

Ugh this freaking asshole...

I took my eyes at him, not moving my head and glared at him.

He didn't have the regular smirk today.. Woah, that's something new..

His face was now like a normal, or I can say, a blank one since he didn't gave any special face reactions..

"Where were you these days? "

I looked away from him and pressed my lips together. Well, what should I say?... Is giving a reply important anyways?

"Mind your own business.. "- I coldly snapped.

I didn't look at him but by judging his silence, I can say he was kinda shocked.

He pulled a chair and sat in front of me resting both of his elbows on my table and leaning his face on his palms, trying to make an eye contact.

" Were you out of the town? I haven't seen you these days. "

"Do you usually stalk me or something?"- I asked in a raspy tone.

" it's not like that-"- he said while leaning backwards.

"Just leave me alone.. Please"- I spoke the last word while gathering my both palms together.

He remained silent and glanced at me before getting up and slowly walking away.

Soon, the class started...

°°°

After the long school hour, I was now in front of my locker, fixing up my books and other stuffs.

After I was done, I closed the locker's door and was about to walk but got interrupted by a male figure.

I looked at his face and he seemed to be familiar.

Well, if I'm right then, it is 'Su-hyuk', the boy who confessed that I'm his crush while playing truth or dare in the school trip.

Why is he here? ...

He spoke while pretending to pick something from the floor. Well, it was already in his hand before..

" Hey, you dropped this. "

I looked at the thing and saw that it was
   a red rose.
