Kiss The Rain

• Chapter 7: Alone

Sachee's POV

"OHMYGOD! Savannah Cherry Shin, where have you been?! I've been dying of worry!" I've been welcomed by a shout, curtesy of Do Kyungsoo, and an oxygen preventing hug for him again. 

He broke the hug then grabbed my shoulders "Where have you been? HUH?! Were you hurt? Did something happen? You should've just waited for me here!" Yes. People, he beats my mother when it comes to scolding me.

"Do you know what time it is already? Do you know what danger a beatiful girl like you can encounter? Sachee you're not a kid an--" I grabbed his cheeks. Much better. Before when I was still..talking. I used to do this to calm him down.

He closed his eyes then sighed. There. Silence atlast. I removed my hand from his fluffy cheeks.

"You sure know how to make me worry Sach" I did nothing but smile. Maybe for the first time in almost two years...I was feeling less burdened.

"Do you have a comforter or something? I'll go sleep on the floor." He asked while peeping into the kitchen. I was doing the dishes. 

Closing the faucet and walking out the door I led him to the bedroom. I have a small apartmet with one bedroom, one bathroom, a small kitchen and a small living room to top it off.

I opened the closet and took out a single comforter. I pointed some pillows for him to use. He nodded with a faint smile.

I was about to walk away when he said something "Sach...can we talk after you finish the dishes? I need to ask things" I nod then went out.

***

Slowly, I walked into the room. Praying to everything that I could pray to that my dear bestfriend Soo is already fast asleep.

But as I expected. Life is really unfair to me. He was wide awake looking at something.

Really...when Kyungsoo says something...Kyungsoo means it. There will be nothing that can stop him.

"Sach!" He got up from his 'bed' on the floor. "Sit" He said then sat again. Crazy Soo. He never really changed a bit. Just a bit more mature and a bit more serious.

"Sooo...you need a paper? I've prepared one" He said then took a peice of paper and a pen. He gave that to me. "What do you wanna talk about?" He asked

I dont know. You were the one who wanted to talk to me

Author's POV

"I know. But you could start it off if you want"

No. I'll give you the honor.

"Fine. How did you manage to live Sach? What did you do? Money? School? How..."

I play piano for the church every sunday mass. They give me allowance which I only spend for food and some things. As for school, I have scholarship.

"You still haven't change." Kyungsoo whispered to himself. He sighed then proceeded to the next question "Why did you leave? Dont you know how worried your mother was?" 

I knew umma would be fine. Keru is there for her.

"But...Sach. Your sister was barely 18 when you left. Did you reall--" 

Are you trying to make me feel guilty about leaving my family? If you are...it's not working Soo. I know my own sister. She can handle things, perfectly.

"You dont know alot of things Sachee. Many things happened after you left"

What things?

Kyungso hesitated for a second before saying..."Now isn't the right time to tell it to you. And I'm not the right person to tell it to you either."

As much as he wants to scold his bestfriend because of everything that happened, as much as he wants to tell her...he didnt want to burden her more. 

Sachee eyed him. Kyungsoo looked back with a blank face. 

*Soon Sach. Soon*

Sachee's POV

Silence enveloped us, until Kyungsoo blurted something out of the blue.

"Sachee...how many years since Jong In died?" Cold and straight. How did the topic suddenly change?

I stopped breathing for a moment. I closed my eyes then write the digit '2/8' on the paper.

"Two years and Eight months Sachee. What happened?"

It was hell. And I dont even wanna remember it.

"If I ask you this next year, same date, would you answer 3 years and 8 months? When I ask what happed those 3 years will you still answer the same?"

I couldnt answer. If I ask myself that, likewise, the answer is a blur. 

If he had ask me this a few days earlier...I might have had said yes. I mean, what would change? Everything would be normal. And by normal, I mean...Me holding either a knife or a rope or a bottle of pills trying to kill myself.

If only a replica of my boyfriend didnt appear, I might as well be mourning still.

To be honest. I know that my life would change. I just know it.

I took the paper and wrote down my answer...

Things can change. One way, or another.

*** 

"Goodnight Sachee" Kyungsoo said before laying down. I nodded then swiched the light on the side table off.

Now the room was dark and is at peace.

I remembered Soo's word's about my family. All these years I havent thought about them. I was so much immersed in the sadness, I forgot about everyone.

 I hope everything is fine with them.

Never the less, today was a miracle. 

I've got a new friend. Onew. 

There's a replica of my boyfriend. Kai.

And now my bestfriend came all the way from province. Kyungsoo.

What's with today? Yesterday I was thinking that today will be like any other day but...no.

For the first time today I didnt try to be with Jong In. For the first time today I had a reason to atleast smile slyly.

For the first time ever since he left, things...changed.

I smiled. I smiled to myself while closing my eyes.

Today, today is probably the best day ever since. Atleast now...I'm not alone.
