The Better Days With You

CHAPTER 15

HANA
"are you okay now?" I saw Yoojung was resting on my bed with her phone in her hands. And she doesn't seem to notice me. So I walk up to her. "hey, are you okay?" I asked again.

She seems snapped from her thoughts and look at me with her puffy eyes. "I-I'm sorry, what is it?"

I smiled assuringly to her. "never mind. The dinner will be ready." I said and pull her out from the bedroom to the kitchen counter. I don't have the dining table because I live alone and my mother rarely visit me because of her works.

We were eating in silence, which is seriously making me uncomfortable. I wanted to break the silence, but I don't know how to start a conversation. That's one of my weaknesses. "so..." I heard Yoojung's voice cracked.

"this is your house?" I put my utensils on the counter and take a big gulp of water. "yes... Well, technically it's my mom's because she's the one who really wanted to bought it for me." I chuckled when the memories of my mom excitedly decorated this apartment.

Yoojung also put down her utensils before asking me another question. "who are you really, Hana?" she eyed me from her seat.

Exhaling, I look up straight into her eyes. "but promise me, you won't tell anyone." Yoojung nodded. "I'm believing in you, Yoojung," I heard her sigh. "but, before that. Are you done already?" I ask gesturing to the plate in front of her. "oh yeah. Thanks, Hana." I waved my hand in front of her and took her plate to the sink.

After cleaning the counter, we sat on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate in each our hands. "so....." I started.

"I'm actually.... How am I suppose to say this?" I scratched my head. Taking a deep breath, I told her my secret.

"I moved her because I want to move on from what happened to my family few months ago." I said as I felt my heart squeezed.

"what happened?" I saw Yoojung move closer to me in the corner of my eyes and I released a shaky breath. "my father died," the Yoojung gasped. She quickly embraced me with her warm hug, which is I really need it. I lose to my own feelings and broke down. "I'm so sorry, Hana."

I shook my head. "n-no. It's not your fault. You don't know about it." I managed to say. People always says that they are sorry about what happened to somebody. Even it's not their fault. I don't even know why.

"but, may I know who was your father?"

YOOJUNG
"Lee Jaejong." I gasped. She's the late Lee Jaejong's daughter? How come I don't know?!

"after he died, I was so devastated. My mom said I didn't come out from my room or eat for two weeks. I still don't know how can I survived from that depression." my breath hitched.

What a strong girl you are, Hana.

"I love him so much, Yoojung. He's not like other rich man who abandon his family for his work-"

"you don't have to-"

"no. I want you to know. You need to know. Someone has to know. I couldn't bare keeping this on my own. I wanted to let out what I've bottled inside me. I feel so heavy." she said, demanding. It's really breaking my heart seeing her like this.

All this time she acted tough, but inside her... I've never seen Hana looking so fragile.

"my dad always trying to find some space and time to spend with us. There is a day, we decided to make barbeque at our house. So it's just our family and the workers in our house. It is an amazing day for me. But then, all of sudden, my father collapsed. In front of my eyes." Hana sobs.

"I was too scared that time, but fortunately, our personal doctor said he's just tired. Lack of rest. But I felt that time our doctor seemed lying to us. Until one day, I found out that my dad suffered the brain cancer." she paused again. I already felt my both cheeks cold and wet.

Lee Hana. I thought she's like an ordinary girl with bubbly personality and always having great day and life.

Some people said every person has their own story and background.

The first time I looked at Hana, I knew she's a good girl who has this attitude that people wants to befriend with her. She saved me from those bad girls in the toilet. I am really thankful to her that day.

She's brave. I'm really surprised that Hana be able to shut Shinyoung and her friends with her comebacks. To be honest, Hana was the first girl who brave enough to face the witch. Meanwhile me, I am one of those weaklings that letting themselves to get bullied by those witches.

I noticed Jimin and his friends are really fond with her. She's easy to blend in. I also sense that there are something happened between her and one of them. Kim Taehyung.

Hana suddenly shut her mouth when she saw or meet him.

Now, I understand why is she avoided the questions about her family. Since I also lost my mother.

But she fortunate, because she still have a mom that still love and care for her. Meanwhile me, living with my abusive father.

But, to be honest, I don't even blame my father in how is he acting right now. He became like that when we lost my mother.

But again, I can't endure living with him. I'm done with him. I'm done with crying every night. I'm done with having bruises all over my body every night. I'm done working just to give him my money. I'm done with curses he spat to me. I'm done with everything about him.

It's really hurt inside.

Why I didn't get parents like Hana?

What I know next, I'm also breaking down into tears. This time, Hana was the one who gave me her warm hug.
