What?... But his brother... He was the boy I saved a day ago...
I stared at him with stinging eyes, speechless. There was no way in heck I.. saved him. He was deceased as his brother was saying, so who had I actually saved?
I quickly said my goodbyes to Taeyong before taking off to my locker. None of this was making sense and the little spark of hope that I had for myself was slowly dimming with every step I took. What now? Am I going insane myself? Was I trapped in a world of lies? What was going on?
"W-what?.. but how?."
Taeyong popped out of nowhere and began unlocking the locker next to me. From what I had known, that locker had been vacant for a while now... I watched him as he placed his things back where they belonged rather quietly and well organized.
"He was in a train accident. That was a two and a half years ago..."
I shivered violently, stopping everything that I was doing completely. Okay, that was most definitely impossible. I remember seeing him with my own eyes! Trying to save him with my own eyes! So what, now I was going crazy too?
"O-oh.. okay. Well, thank you for all your help here. I'll be going now. My mom is waiting for me."
I bowed and thanked him for his help before leaving.
When I arrived home, it was about six in the afternoon. Mom had gotten dinner ready, so I felt sick, distant even when I walked into her finishing up.
"Eomma.. I'm so sorry.. I really didn't mean to leave you all the work. I promise I won't do anything like this ever again."
Eomma only smiled at me, her kind aura calming me as she pulled me in for a hug.
"Honey, you are my daughter. I'm the mother here. As long as you stay close to me and support me with the small things, you're okay. You don't need to have so much weight on your back. Leave that to me, your mother."
But I refused. I didn't want her to have all the weight in her back. I wanted to take half of it for myself and support her. I felt like it was the right thing to do. After all, it was only me and her in this battle. And we were winning it.
