Dear Cruel World 2 || Park Jisung

~5~

"I...like...you...I like you since the first day, not just the first day I met you but when I got to know you better, I started liking you and... Would you be my girlfriend?"

I looked at him. Without knowing what to say, I just let a word come out of my mouth. "I...can't..." I finally said. To be honest, I was actually surprised about my answer. I wasn't expecting a no to come out of my mouth. Well...maybe I was...?

We both looked down. "It's ok... I understand that you like someone..." he said.

I look back up at him and waved my hands a no. "No no no! It's not because I like someone. It's because you're my only friend and I just want it to be that way. I don't want to ruin our friendship just for love relationships..." I told him.

He looked at me with a smile. "It's ok..." He ruffled my hair.

Once again... Another scene popped up in my head. Still with me in the picture with a boy in the car.

"YOU PROMISED ME!! YOU SHOULD'VE JUST TOLD ME INSTEAD OF KEEPING IT A SECRET!! YOU ARE SUCH A STUBBORN GIRL! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ANY OF THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?! WHY DID YOU-"

"JISUNG!!!! I can do this... I can handle this cancer..."

"You can't... The effect just keeps getting stronger each day."

Just as those other scenes... I can only see myself. I can hear him but I can't see him. His face is always blurred in those scenes that keep appearing in my head.

The scene was cut off by a loud sound. As I opened my eyes, I found myself on my desk, with my head laid down and noticed that everyone was getting out of the classroom, meaning, time to go home. I packed up all my things in my backpack and walked outside the school, going into Mr. Kang's car, taking Chanhee and I back home.

As we were in the car, I drifted off to sleep, with another image, acting upon my head as I am sleeping.

"Look, the stars are shining brightly."

"Jiyeon... I know it's Christmas and there's no one there for you so why don't I be that special someone for you. Not just today but everyday of your life. I'll be someone special to you." He smiled and pulled something out from his pockets. "To you... To me. Together."

It was infinity bracelets. One gold and one silver.

"I'm sorry if it looks crappy. This is all I can give you for Christmas. When I grow up and have the money, I can give you more..."

"Jisung... It's ok. This is the best present I could ever receive this year. Thank you..."

"Jiyeon! Wake up!!"

The scene stopped, as I heard Chanhee's voice calling me to wake up, since we were home. I froze there for a while but came back to reality and made my way inside the house. "I'm back..." I said in a tired voice and started walking my steps, upstairs, to where my room was.

I twisted the door holder and opened it, feeling the breeze and the smell of... My own room :P

I closed the doors and threw my backpack on the ground, taking off my clothes, ready to take a shower so I can go to sleep, although it's only 3pm. As I turned the water on, the voice that sounded familiar to my scenes whispered in my head.

"You'll always have me. No matter what happens, I will be there for you, even if it's worth risking my life... Just for you..."

I closed my eyes and shook my head, telling the voice to go away. When it was gone, I opened my eyes once again and jumped in the shower, feeling the warmness of the water, hitting my body.

After taking a shower, I laid on my bed, doing nothing but just staring at the blank ceiling. "This is boring..." I said to myself and got up, walking to the window and opened it so I could see the world. The busy roads, the birds chirping, adults going to work or jogging around the neighborhood to stay fit, old people at the park who's walking/stretching to kill those back muscles, and little children, who were playing on the streets with their friends or whatsoever they were doing. The wind was not too cold or too hot, just perfect, like how I wanted it to be.

I looked at my silver infinity bracelet. "Was that you? Who I just imagined about? Who appeared in my head?" I asked my bracelet, stupidly. "If so... Who gave me this? Is it that one boy who I would always see?" Yea... I'm talking to the bracelet right now, being a crazy fool but who could I talk to that relates to this... "Why am I always having these pictures and scenes in my head...? Are they even part of my memory or just my imagination that I just did everything by myself...?"

Again, his voice appeared in my head.

"I LIKE YOU!!" "Noona..." "I'll protect you to the end. I can promise you that..."

I stopped looking at my bracelet and faced my head towards the sky, with my palm on my chin. "...Jisung...Park...Jisung..." I said, not knowing the name but it just appeared that my mouth was saying that person's name. "Park Jisung..."

Once again, I looked at my silver infinity bracelet that was on my right wrist. "Who are you...?...Jisung..." I whispered quietly.
