Maybe Next Time

Chapter 8

It felt like torture for Minji.

Having the same scene playing over and over again in her head.

She just cannot help but want to know more. She wants to know what would have happened that day if Hanni had not pushed her away. She wants to know what would have happened if she did not say anything.

Who would have known that Minji's biggest what ifs were this? The experience that she and Hanni had from a few weeks ago.

Where the Kang's seemed to visited them.

How the figure just stood there and watched them, as if they were studying their every move.

Minji felt that same presence every day after that incident. It was like they were haunting her, like a spirit following her around.

It felt like Minji was an animal in a zoo, being watched at every second.

She asked Hanni about this, if she had also experience this eery presence watching her. But just to her luck, Hanni thought she was joking. Laughing it off and said that she needed to go to a mental asylum. Minji would have agreed with Hanni if she was not so freaked out.

Just what is the Kang's capable of?

She really was walking or wheeling her wheelchair here, thinking that her family would never be in danger. However she was proven wrong when something had happened just a few days ago, which had left her shaken to the core.

Just a few days ago, maybe just a week, Minji would be seen wheeling her wheelchair to the garden yet again. The hallways, unusually silent as her best friend, Hanni, was not at her side this time.

It was not a sight that Minji would want people to see, her in her disheveled state, her clothes messy and her hair looking like she just got put of bed, so she tried her best to be sneaky; however, it was almost impossible for her since she was in a giant wheelchair, squeaking occasionally as she pushed the wheels.

Minji sighed, the silence being broken by the soft noise she had let out. She rolled her wheelchair closer to the exit, the grand door becoming bigger every second.

There was a soft metal clinking sound behind Minji making her jump, did she get caught? She turned around, expecting someone behind her, like her parents, one of the staffs or maybe one of the knights.

But to her surprise, no one was there. Maybe it was just her imagination, right? Minji closed her eyes and crossed her fingers, praying that nothing bad would happen to her. She already got into this mess, she does not want to get into more.

She paused, listening out for any movements.

Nothing.

Maybe it was her imagination. Well, who would be fine after falling down a long ass tree? There has to be some hallucinations here and there, that was what Minji was guessing.

Convinced that it was her imagination, Minji continued her journey to the garden. Her arms becoming tired from the continuous rowing of the wheels. She really regrets not getting Hanni to join her, it is really tiring having to do this all by herself.

While she made her way over to the grand door, something fell right in front of her. Falling down at a fast, rapid pace. Not really, she just said that to exaggerate.
