Graduation & Goodbye...

I stared at myself long and hard in the full length mirror of my room.

The warm morning sunshine was already giving everything a yellow glow, it was welcoming and friendly for which I was grateful.

My last day here would be spent in warmth and happiness, thank you Daegu.

It was finally graduation day and only God knows how I've spent these two weeks.

After I told Krystal that I was leaving, she wouldn't leave my side and even had a quarrel with her manager because she wanted to stay with me in my family home.

I assured her that I'd be fine, there were always people coming around and Aunt Jeong never left me alone for too long, but she wouldn't have any of it.

If she couldn't stay with me in the day, she'd sleep over at night time and make sure I was doing okay.

We even had a night of watching horror films and eating ice cream in the lounge, until Halmeouni got woken up by our screams.

She came running into the lounge, thinking something terrible had happened, but just laughed when she saw our frightened faces and made us both hot chocolate with multicoloured marshmallows.

Everything seemed so normal and happy; it felt as though I had no worries in the world and I was the happiest teenager alive.

But then came the morning sickness and Krystal holding my hair up before she got a call and had to whizz off to Seoul again, leaving me alone and isolated with only the birds outside as my company.

The twins Seojun and Seoeon had come over for a while, but they too had now gone to live with their Nan and so the house was pretty quiet and lifeless without their innocent laughing and crying.

My isolation got replaced with laughter when Jackson came over to visit yesterday morning.

I hadn't seen him for ages and it turns out he only just found out about my moving in with Mum and his Dad.

He wasn't upset at me going, he was actually ecstatic that I was to live with them.

He said it was good for him because he could visit anytime without the press following him and stirring up rumours, it would just be a family gathering rather than some long lost foreign love.

I chuckled and let my brown hair fall down, Aunt Jeong straightened my hair for me last night and it looked shinier and felt softer than ever.

It was nearly 8 am and the graduation ceremony would start at 10 am.

Jackson told me to take bags of flour with me so that we could have a flour fight and get our uniforms all white and dirty, but when I asked Krystal she said that was banned this year and any student caught with flour wouldn't be allowed in the hall.

Our graduation uniforms were different to our everyday uniforms anyway, so getting flour on it wasn't on my bucket list.

It was a mustard yellow blazer with black edges and a cute black bow tie shaped as a flower over a mustard yellow fitted jumper alongside our school's emblem on the left breast.

I paired it with a short, black frilled skirt, sheer black tights and black and white platform sneakers.

My eyes darted to the door and for a split second I saw Eonni leaning against it with crossed arms and a cheeky, glowing smile before I blinked and saw nothing.

I pursed my lips and shook my head free from sadness, before I applied bb cream, concealer and red lip tint.

I decided to wear eyeliner around my hazel eyes, just so that my last day would be a pretty one before I flattened my graduation uniform out and turned to pick up my brown satchel.
