All Of You

Chapter 6

We reached the hostel. The room was small and comfy. It was a two sharing room. I didn't meet the other person, her roommate. *Who cares. Wait! Sehun and Jongin cares* They were asking Seon Hye "noona! Introduce your roommate to us once you meet her." Jongin commented 'She must be pretty. This bed of her looks elegant. Obviously she is pretty." Seon Hye laughed at the remark.
   "Yaah! Stop, let's leave. We gotta go a long way back" I said stretching my leg.
    Seon Hye looked at us with teary eyes. "I am going to miss you all" she said hugging Sehun and Jongin. They patted her and Jongin said "we will call you often and nag you to introduce us to pretty girls. Don't worry". Her lips formed a smile.
   She came in front of me and held my hands "oppa, take care of uncle and aunt. Meet them often. I am going to miss them." Then she hugged me and continued, "miss you oppa". There was a sudden silence. I felt her tears on my t-shirt and the hug became tighter. I hugged her back, removed her from the hug and wiped her tears and assured "we are always there for you. Concentrate on your studies. Don't be clumsy."
    After good byes, we drove back home. I and Sehun took turns in driving. Jongin was sleeping all through the travel.
  I dropped those kids at their home and I reached mine. The house felt empty without her sound of laughter. The kitchen missed her mess. Her room was mourning in darkness.

     I refreshed and tried to sleep. But, I couldn't sleep the whole night thinking of how I could be in that home without Seonmulie. My memory dragged me into its world.

Flashback
   I heard my mom and dad conversing about a kid named Seon Hye who was going to stay in my house thereafter. I was excited to have a playmate in my house.
  I went to my terrace to play. I saw Heechul Hyung standing in his balcony. He was my neighbour. He was Three years elder than me, my personal advisor and a living juke box. He was a pro at relationship advise. When I excitedly told him about the new girl, he said "if you admit that she is a good or pretty girl, she won't recognize you as a cool person. So act like a cool person. "
    I heard the door bell. I ran down to the hall to see her. My mom and dad was taking to her father and she was sitting on her father' lap. She was so adorable in that lavender frock and white shoes. Her eyes was glittering like stars. My mom introduced her to me. " She is Seon Hye. Isn't she pretty?"
  I remembered Heechul hyung's words. So I answered " aani. she is an ugly duckling. She is a potato". That girl casted me a shocking and disappointed look. That look somewhat amused me. So I didn't even care my mom's hit on my head, I smirked at her and ran away.
   She started hating me. But I liked to tease her all the time. I made her believe that she is really ugly. But the truth was she was a cute kid growing up into beautiful girl. Her flaw was she was dumb to believe whatever I said. She didn't realise how beautiful she was. I was the main reason for her low self esteem.
     In the middle school, she was bullied by Kris and Tao. It was actually not exactly bullying. The boys in the middle school were betting Kris, the coolest guy of our school to ask Seon Hye out since she is the most beautiful girl in the school. As Kris  didn't want to lose the bet, he kept on pestering Seon Hye to go out with him. She was an introvert, so she was afraid of Kris and his brother Tao.
     I was bothered by Kris hitting on Seon Hye. I chose to become friends with those siblings, rather than getting into fights. Fortunately, it made them to ignore Seon Hye. *thanks to my Seonmul, I got two cool friends*
      One day, when I was crossing her room, I heard her sobbing. I peeped through the door. I saw her crying over phone. I heard her one side conversation with her father. She cried, " why are you doing this to me. Nobody likes me here. I am hanging in here because of you. Appa! I thought you were there for me. But you abandoned me. Why didn't you think of me when you get married again. For whom should I live? I'll better die." That "better die" hit me hard. I was the main reason for her to think that she was being hated.
   I wanted to apologize to her but ego made me to resist it. I asked my mom to console her. I couldn't sleep on that day. The next day I heard that Kris and Tao moving to China. Even though I was popular in school suddenly felt lonely.
        The guilt of hurting the girl I adorned was eating me alive. I was a sinner, I thought of making up all my mistake and show my true feelings towards her. I honestly liked her and enjoyed being around her.
     I didn't apologize in words but I showed my good side to her in action. At first she was cautious around me, later she enjoyed my company. Thanks to her, I got the company of Sehun and Jongin.

Happy Sehun Day.
