The Better Days With You

CHAPTER 1

HANA

"I'm leaving!!" I yelled as I walk out from the house to the car. "be careful, dear!" I heard my mom yelled back. Entering the car, my driver drove me to the school that Tuesday morning

But then, the uneasiness feeling suddenly rushed in me. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the feeling away and I hope today will be a better day.

Suddenly the picture of my dad smiling greeted my mind. So, I decided to call him. I fished my phone out from the pocket and dialed his number.

"Hana?" I smiled upon hearing his voice. "hey dad, are you feeling well today?" I heard him coughing over there and the uneasiness feeling suddenly came back and it's growing bigger.

"I'm okay. Why did you call me? Are you in the school?" I smiled again. My father is still worried about me when he's the one who is sick.

"yeah. I just got off from the car." I bowed to my driver, after saying 'have a nice day' to me as usual, then he drove away.

"nothing. I just miss you very, very much." I heard my dad giggle. He's already making my day bright today. I love you, dad. "but you always see me everyday."
"I know, but I still miss u."
"I miss you too, my daughter."
"I know." I giggled.
"oh, I have to go now. The first period is going to start."
"okay. Study well, honey."
"don't cha worreeh, dad. Haha! Take care of yourself, okay?"
"Hmm... I will.."
"I love you, dad. Very, very, very much."
"I love you too, my daughter."

But Hana didn't know, that was the last time she spoke to her father.

It was the second period of that day and Hana is still trying to focus on the teacher. But something is bothering your feelings that time.

Hana tried to shook put the bad thoughts from her head and tried again to focus on her studies. Is he going to be okay?, I hope he's okay... That was keep playing in her head.

Suddenly someone burst into the class making the students jumped in their seat. The student who barged in slowly walk to the teacher in front with an apologetic face.

He whispered something to the teacher making she surprised. Her eyes then darted to Hana.

Cold sweat forming on Hana's forehead and her palms.

Her sweat and her tears already mixed in her face, but she doesn't care at all. Reaching the knob on the white door, she slowly open the familiar door.

The first thing she saw is her mother was sobbing near the her father's bed.  Along with the people in the room.

Hana make her way to the bed, slowly. She was enduring herself not to cry in front of her father. But eventually, her vision become blurry and her eyes were hot because of the tears.

Yes. She's crying. But it's only tears that came out. "dad..." her voice crooked. She grasped the bed sheet tightly and called her father again, slowly. More like whisper.

Mrs. Lee cried even more looking at her daughter like that. Her heart clenched and it's really hurt for her.

"dad.... Dad!" Hana cried. Her legs are giving up, making she dropped to the floor, crying loudly.

But she know, no matter how loud she cried, she will never bring back her father alive.

That day, the news of Lee Jeongjae's death, the owner of the biggest tourism company in Korea spread all over the country. Even to another country.
