Tainted Heart

Chapter 17

Moon sat up properly wrapping the blanket around her body. It was already cold outside and on the top of that, she was sick. So, she was feeling extra cold.

"Although they didn’t blame me, but I think because of my guilt, we got separated. Do I regret it? Yes. Yes, I do. I wish things were not like this. I wish anyhow we could.....we could save her. I wish these 9 years were different. Sun-hi was a beautiful chapter of our life with an incomplete ending." she said and paused.

She nodded biting her lips controlling her overwhelmed emotions.

"Whenever we used to feel happy, sad, exhausted or any kind of feelings or any kind of occasions, we would just go to nana's restaurant back then. It was a comfort place for us which was introduced by Sun-hi. And now, both Sun-hi and nana left us. Isn’t it weird? And somehow it is connected to me. Yeah I feel bad. An old lady who was supposed to live, was abandoned by her son years ago, died saving me. Why the people I love leave me eventually?" she paused.

"I wish I didn’t go to her that day. I wish I didn’t make friendship with Sun-hi in the first place. It feels like destiny proving that how unlucky I am for people." She chuckled in pain.

The others listened to her words. Yoongi also listened to her. By his experiences, he knew how it felt when someone close to one is in pain. So he only wished to be able to console her. But of course, he couldn’t do that, not at that time of course.

Haejin took a deep breathe and said, "Eonnie, it was not your fault. Yes, you might feel lots of emotions now. Your feeling of guilt is also justified. But it's high time you moved on. Move on from these. Smile when you think about Sun-hi eonnie and nana. No more crying."

Yerin nod. "Haejin eonnie is right. No more crying."

Bora, Aerum, Soul and Yunhee nodded. Yoongi smiled at himself admiring the fact they consoled and encouraged her. He suddenly remembered of his BTS brothers and the beautiful moments with them.

"Eonnie, mianhae." Soul said in a low tone.

"It's okay. I know you didn’t mean it. I know where you come from." Moon smiled.

"You know what we badly in need of right now?" Aerum asked.

Everyone looked at her pausing their movements for her to continue.

"A tight Twilight hug." Aerum said and they laughed.

"Virtual hug?" Moon asked and hugged her phone.

Moon then got up from bed trying to find some warm clothes or hoodie typa something.

Yoongi looked at Yunhee and gestured her to ask her if she was doing okay.

"Eonnie, you look really sick. Where are you, now? You should visit doctor. Yunhee said. Her concern was genuine even though she was asking her that on behalf of her lovesick brother.

"I am better than before trust me. Damn the cold outside. It's literally so cold outside. But do not worry. I am having medicines. I am looking homeless right now because of the allergies." she coughed and not getting her stuffs, she just wrapped the blanket around her body and took her phone in her hand and got out of the room. She laughed. "I am looking like a penguin right now."

"And I am at my uncle's house. Beom Seok's parents house." she forced the last words in a teasing manner. "Beom and Ahjussi went to company and I am with my aunt for now. Let me show you around, wait." she showed the house a bit then asked, "Isn’t it pretty, Haejin-ah?"

The other girls looked down to control their laugh. Haejin said in a low tone, "Yeah. Why are you asking me?" she was trying hard not to blush.

"Just like that." Moon said normally but then smirked. "You know I am older than you. A year but still older than you and I am more older than Beom Seok."
