A week has pass since Nichkhun mom died, Nichkhun have not been in school nor at his work. Kahi become very concern to what had happen to him, so she went to the office and ask the attendance about Nichkhun.
“He call in four days ago and withdraw from school.” Say the attendance.
“Withdraw? Do you know why?” Kahi ask surprisingly.
“He say it was personal problem.” Say the attendance.
“Can you hold off the withdrawal?” Kahi ask.
“I can but he have to come back in a week or else I have to put him down as drop out.” The attendance lady say.
“Thank you.” Kahi say before she walk off.
She head to the restaurant and ask the manager about Nichkhun.
“Had Nichkhun came to work?” Kahi ask
“No not at all. He call in four days ago, wanting to quit. I ask him what wrong? He won’t say anything, but his voice sound different so I suggest he take a couple weeks off.” Say the manager; “At first he disagree but he soon agree to it.”
“Thank you.” Kahi bow before she walks away.
Kahi went to his apartment, knocking on his front door a couple time. She call him many time but he did not answer. She went home and pack a couple clothes into her bag and head Gwacheon. Kahi arrive in front of his mom house, she sees the open door and the house with full of lights. She sees cans of beer at the porch into the room, She walk in and close the door behind her. She continue to go into the house, the room was a mess, beer cans were smash and thrown everywhere. She sees a white jar on top of the TV next to a letter. She heard a can being squish, she turn around and see Nichkhun rest against the wall with beer cans around him.
Kahi walk to him quickly, “Nichkhun oppa, what happen?” She ask concernly as she grab his arms.
Nichkhun turn his head to look at her but then turn away quickly and drink his beer, Kahi grab it back and place it on the floor.
“What happen? Where is aunty?” Kahi ask. “Why did you withdraw from school?” she ask worriedly.
“She is gone.” Nichkhun say hopelessly. “My mom is no longer here.”
“Go—gone?” Kahi in shock. “What happen to you?” Kahi ask.
“Why are you here?” Nichkhun say coldly as he swing his arm away from her. “Go back to your fiancé.” He push her away, and tries to stand up on his own but fall on his knees.
“Oppa…oppa.” Kahi tries to hold him still, “Tell me what happen? Why are you like this? What do you mean aunty is gone?”
“She’s dead.” Nichkhun say in anger as he looks at her fiercely. “She left me a week ago. I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to her. I didn’t get a chance to see her for the last time, I didn’t get a chance to repay her back for all the things she had done for me. I didn’t get a chance to give her a good life. I didn’t get a chance to do anything for her.” Nichkhun kneel on his knee as he cries. “I didn’t….”
