Best Of Me

That Night

"So....what happened to me? All I could remember that night was my vision blurring and my head falling unconsciously..." I said as I sat down on the couch, while Wheein's parents' friend sat on the chair next to me.

"Well, you already took part of the words out of my mouth...but little did you know, her mother and Wheein brought you to the hospital." "W-wait....so Wheein was still with me that time and I didn't know?" "It seemed like it....her mother even tagged me along to call an ambulance for you..." "But...what about her dad? And that time her mother didn't have any pity for me..." "Her mother felt pity for you, she just didn't show it when Wheein's father let out his frustation out on you. I was even mad at her father for doing that to you... "

"Well....what happened next?" I asked. "Like I said, Wheein and her mother called an ambulance for you, her mom even told her to go with you on the way to the hospital." "And her mom?" "She followed after Wheein's dad. She also told me to go and accompany you and Wheein on the way."

"As we arrived at the hospital, Wheein's tears continuously flowed because she got so worried about you...she even used your phone to call your siblings. When we got to the emergency room, the nurses treated your wounds while Wheein stood in the corner. I remember her saying "This is all my fault..." multiple times, though I told her not to blame herself." "Wheein-ah..." I thought to myself. "But wait, how long did I stay in that hospital?" "You stayed there for about 2 days as of what I could remember." "And how was Wheein that time?" "She never left your side until you were brought to a room where you could recover and when your siblings came to look after you." 

"But on the last day you were there, she asked permission from your siblings to go inside to look at you for the last time before she left for Jeonju. In fact, she left this with me to give to you when I got the chance to see you." She said as she handed me a handwritten letter from Wheein.

 "Dear Taehyung-ah,

I'm writing this letter to you because I want you to know how much I'll miss you before I leave for Jeonju today. The past night left you severely injured and I know you'll tell me not to blame myself for it, I just couldn't handle seeing you suffering so I begged my mom to bring you to the hospital. It's hard to put into words what I could've done to not let this happen to you but I'll always remember what you told me "This what my parents want for me, for my own benefit."

Taehyung-ah, if I had the chance to rewind everything, I would go back to the time you and I professed our love for each other.

I'll always remember your smile every time you look at me, the warmth of your hug when I'm feeling down, your voice whispering in my ear a good night or how much you love me.

As I end this letter before I leave, just know that I'll never forget you and that I'll wait for the day I see you again, if ever the time comes. And no matter what happens, I will always love you til the end of the world.

I'll be leaving this with my mom's friend, so allow me to kiss your forehead for one last time though I don't know if you'll feel it since you're still unconscious.

By the time you're reading this, you might have achieved your dreams and the hopes you had for me and for yourself came true.

Until we meet again love...

Signed, Wheein" 

As I finished reading the letter, I felt my tears rush out and I kneeled on the floor. "T-Taehyung-ah, are you okay?" She said as she helped me stand up and sit back down on the couch. "I-I didn't know...all of this happened." I said as I inhaled heavily and let out more of my tears I've been holding back.

"It's okay...because you know what, I have a feeling that you and Wheein are going to meet."

Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. "Hang on...I'll be right back." She said as she got up and answered the door. I then kept the letter from Wheein in my journal and put it back in my bag. "T-Taehyung! Can you help me with this for a moment?" She said as she tried to carry a box given to her by a delivery guy. "Oh, okay, don't worry I got it." I said as I lifted the box to the living room. "Hang on, I'll get scissors to cut the tape open."

"Hm, I wonder what this could be..." I thought to myself. As we opened the box, I noticed another letter,  "Auntie~ I'll be visiting Daegu in 2 days so in the meantime, here are some things I bought for you in Seoul~ From. Wheein-nie"

"Wheein! She's coming to Daegu!" I said out loud. "Well, Taehyung, why don't you stay here first and stay the night that way when Wheein comes, you'll be a surprise for her. A homecoming gift." "I-is it alright?", "Of course, and besides I really wanted to see you two reunite, it's been a long time since I've seen her so happy in your company. "O-okay, thank you~" I said as I hugged her. "It's no problem, you can stay in the room upstairs near the guest room, but you stay here first while I prepare it for a moment." She said as she went upstairs,  "Alright!" I said as I had a big smile on my face. 

Wheein-ah, we'll be together again, I'll be waiting for you when you come.
