"Pfft! Mwahahaha I saw your password!"
I looked down at my hand, covering the atm keypad then at the lady behind my back.
My heart suddenly ached.
The same old crazy lady I loved. Long time no see, Jisoo.
I am about to speak when a glimpse of the grim reaper appeared.
After enunciating 50 words, you'll rest in peace again.
I shook my head, sighed and pulled my things since I'm already done.
"Yah, we ran out of cash, Jin. Lemme withdraw 50,000 won!"
"Ani, stay here. I'll withdraw."
I felt tears running down on my cheeks as I turned my back from the atm to see the road. Fuck those flashbacks.
"Jiiin-ah! Did you withdraw 50,000 won!?"
"Hey! Just wait for me there!"
"Hey mister broad! You okay?" then she walked around me, inspecting my body if I have an injury. "You have no injury. What is your--aaah! Is it because I peeked for your password while you're pressing it? Omo, mian, mian," she bowed continuously as she kept on saying mian.
"It's--"
I mentally cursed multiple times. Part of my chest suddenly ached as a hologram of the grim reaper appeared in front of me, at the back of bowing Jisoo.
"49 left," then he laughed like an evil and disappeared. I held my chest. It's giving me pain like crazy.
Not to mention that she's still bowing and asking for an apology, I started to walk away with a heavy breathing and my hand tightly pressing my chest.
Don't be bothered if you'll feel a lot of pain as you enunciate your first 5 words. Don't worry, the usual pain after a word will be gone totally after the first 10.
"Hey!" I heard her shout so I walked faster. But before I can make it to the bus station, my knees collapsed and I fell to the ground. "Hyung!" is all I heard before everything went black.
"Happy birthday, Jin!" then she kissed my cheek.
"Kamsahamnida," then I closed my eyes and pouted. "Kiss my lips too, come on."
I just felt her hand slap my arm. "Nah! Just wait for the wedding kiss!"
I opened my eyes and pretended that I'm irritated. "You're so old-cultured, jagiya. Aish, why can't I just peck your lips and steal your first kiss?" I whispered, scratching my nape.
She slapped my arm again. "Do it and I'll back out from the wedding!"
I hugged her and snaked my arms around her waist. "I'm just kidding, you know how much I love and respect you," then I kissed the top of her head.
She hugged me back for a second and pulled away. "I never knew you want some drama," she laughed and held my hand. "Come on, let's have a date!"
