Sacrificing oneself

23

Exactly one year had passed since the death of Sarang and Lieutenant Chan. After General Lee found them, he and his team of soldiers took the group to a base that was three times larger than the previous one. They took Sarang and Bang Chan's body with them. The soldiers buried the bodies of her friends in a special cemetery that was next to the base. The soldiers also found the bodies of Kai, Gyuri, pulled out the body of Juwon, Sujeong and Taehyung from the rubble, and they were all buried next to each other. The empty coffin of Captain Jackson Wang and the bodies of Jeungun's parents were also buried.

Jungeun stood over Saran's tombstone. The girl often visited Ryu and sat on the dirty ground, talking for hours about nothing. And now, Choi just stared at the cold stone with the name "Ryu Sarang" for about five minutes.

- Hello, friend - she finally spoke - I'm probably boring you with my frequent visits - smiling slightly, Jungeun sat down on the damp earth.

Raising her head to the cloudy sky, Choi said:

- It looks like it's going to rain - after a pause, she continued - How interesting, today is the day of your death and the weather is the same as it was that day.

A year, it's not much, but a lot has changed in this time

Taking some damp earth in her hands, Jungeun thought deeply.

Not only has everything changed, but people have changed too. The world has become completely different, the planet got rid of most of the people and thus punished humanity for their deeds. As if God was teaching them a lesson.

Shifting her gaze to the neighboring grave, Jungeun said with a note of pain:

- I hope that you and Jimin have found each other in your world, that you are finally happy...

"Ban Jeemin," was written on the neighboring stone.

- Hi Jeemin - Choi smiled painfully, wiping the cold stone with her sleeve.

No matter how much time had passed, the pain of losing her friends was still there.

- Jiyoon still blames herself for not saving you in time

Three months after Sarang's death, Jeemin died too. Bang suffered from severe depression, Jiyoon was almost always there for the girl, comforting her, encouraging her. But one day, Yoon came to Jeemin as always and instead of a living girl, she saw a corpse lying in a pool of blood in the bathroom. Jimin cut her veins, leaving a small piece of paper with the inscription for last

"Thank you for trying to save me Jiyoon-ah, but I was not as strong as you.., Goodbye and don't worry, I will take care of Sarang there."

There were traces of dried tears on the sheet of paper, Jeemin had been crying while writing a short farewell letter.

- Yesterday, Koko and Saebi flew to Japan, I think the girls want to forget about the nightmare they experienced and start everything from scratch

Standing up, Jeun picked up the bag that contained daisies. Sarang loved daisies and Jungeun had a hard time finding them.

- It was very difficult, but I found them for you - putting flowers on Ryu's grave, Choi went to Jeemin's grave and also put flowers there.

- I don't know what kind of flowers you liked, Jeemin-ah, but I think you won't mind daisies.

Straightening up, Jeun raised her head again to the dark clouds that were gathering in the sky.

- Fuko's radio show is about to start, I think she'll mention the weather

A month ago, Hayali became a TV presenter on a famous radio channel. She was good at it since school and the girl decided to devote herself to her favorite business.
