Jae-Hwa's Point of View
"Ya! Geseki! We're not done with you yet!" I heard a voice yell from behind me.
My head was pounding and I wasn't sure of where I was. I stumbled as I tried lifting myself off the ground. Before I could get up someone kicked me in my back. More and more people began jumping in, kicking me all over. I kept my arms over my face and tucked my head in my knees trying to block them.
"Next time you come here, you better have my money!" the same voice yelled.
I helped myself up after I heard the men leave. I could hardly see anything and the fact that it was night time it didn't help. I shrugged and limped down the sidewalk back to my apartment.
It had been 5 months since I'd started working for Seung Tae. I did drug deals for him to raise money so I could go find Yoona in America. I'd hardly raised enough money for a ticket, not to mention I lived alone in an abandoned apartment building so I had to buy food. Occasionally I would take portions out of Seung Tae's money and keep it for my ticket. In the beginning I'd applied for so many other jobs and got turned down so this was my last resort. No one knows that I'm affiliated with Seung Tae and his gang, but if they found out it wouldn't matter. As long as I gory to Yoona.
As of now, my chances of seeing her are slim to none. I was sure to lose my position under Seung Tae if I didn't have his money; and by lose my position I mean killed. I bit my lip and hissed at the pain. There was a huge gash from my upper lip to the corner of my lower lip. I guess someone had cut me while I was knocked out.
I walked into my room and collapsed flat on my makeshift cot. It wasn't much but it was enough to keep me alive. I flicked on the little overhead light and rolled over onto my back. I'd wondered if Yoona had gotten my letters. I'd wondered if she still felt the same way she did when she left. If she still loved me.
"Saranghae..Yoona." I whispered into the silence.
I could hear her now, saying she loved me too. I could hear her saying she'd missed me so much, and that she never went a day without thinking about me. She never lost any affection for me and tried keeping in touch but couldn't find a number to call. That's what I wanted her to say.
For all I know she could be happier in America. She could have a new boyfriend; well on her way to college. She would be telling him she loved him, not me. She'd be spending entire days with him; making memories with him. It hurt so much to think about it. I sighed and closed my eyes. If I really loved her I had to keep fighting. I'd keep at regardless of the stupid thoughts I was having.
My life was so much better with her around. I was in school, I had a loving family, a house, friends, everything. Now, I'd dropped out, my family threw me out and pretend I don't exist, and my friends had abandoned me. I needed her back. I know that'd change me back to the old Jae-Hwa. The one that she loved.
Yoona's Point of View
"Okay, we've been all around town and we haven't been able to find Paradise anywhere!" I fussed.
Cyrus slammed on the breaks, "Tori, you've got to relax! We have all tomorrow to find it. It's 12:30, let's go back to the hotel and go to sleep." he huffed.
I smashed my head into the headrest and sighed, "Fine." I looked out the window.
I couldn't go another day without seeing Jae-Hwa. I needed to see him and tell him how much I had missed him; how much I loved him.
When we got back Cyrus went to sleep without saying another word to me. I guess I shouldn't have flipped on him like that earlier. I crawled into bed and pulled out another one of Jae-Hwa's letters:
My sweetest Yoona,
It's been a month already since I last wrote you. How are you? How's America been? I hope it's nice there. I miss you even more now. I still haven't eaten or slept much. Umma and appa wish you good health here. They wish for you to do well in school too. I have to go now, stay well. Please come back soon, or reply when you can. Saranghae.
Jae-Hwa.
Reading these letters are torture. He's probably given up on me; lost all hope that I'm ever coming back. That's why I have to find him soon . To prove to him that I never stopped loving him.
