Hi! Hello! [BOOK 3] || BAE JINYOUNG

#23

The beep sounds from the vital machine wakes me up. I blink my eyes twice, looking at the ceiling with a few thoughts. Am I still alive?

I take a glance at my brother and mom who sit next to my bed. Both of them are holding my hands tightly while dozing off. I'm surprised to see Jinyoung's back leans on the door outside of my ward.

I move my hands a bit, trying to wake both my brother and mom up. They look so shocked when they felt my body moves. My mom quickly calls the doctor to check me up.

A few nurses and doctor come to me, checking my health. They take out the oxygen mask from my mouth, letting me inhale the world's air that I think I will leave.

"She is recovering very well.. Don't overpressure her. She still needs a few more chemotherapies and checkups for her health improvements." The doctor advises my mom, smiling at me brightly.

My mom hugs me as soon as I called her. My shoulder slightly wets due to her tears. I wipe her tears, cupping her face. "Eomma.. Don't cry. I'm still here.. Your daughter still alive."

"You have been in comma for 2 days after the surgery. We worried so much that you won't make it. Fortunately, God have help you to be strong." My mom tells me, shedding her tears that wetted her cheeks.

"Eomma.. Does Jinyoung.. Bae Jinyoung came here?" I ask her, hesitated at first.

My mom face turns to disgust expression. "Don't ever said his name anymore. He always came here trying to look for you but I told him to stay away from you. Look at what he did to you. He dumped you and a player. I shouldn't think that he was a good boy." She complains.

"He's outside, right? Can.. Can I talk with him for a while?" I ask my mom and brother cautiously.

Both of them look at each other, nodding in sync. They leave my wardroom, calling Jinyoung to come in. I take out the letter that I wrote a few weeks ago when I knew about his lies.

"Seorin.. You.. You already awake! I miss you so much!" He hugs me all of sudden.

I break the hug, trying to remind him that we already broke up. I give him the letter right away. He looks at me confusedly, opening the letter but I stopped him

"What's this Seorin..? I mean, you just woke up. Don't give me surprises." He chuckles.

".. Open it when you leave my room. I know you can't be trusted because of that article. But.. I still believe your trust." I tell him.

"I hope you will understand everything that I wrote on the letter soon. Well.. it's better for you to leave now. I don't want my mom to be mad at you." I gesture him to leave although I feel so bad.

"Can I.. Can I peck your cheeks? I miss our skin ship." He confesses.

"I'm sorry.. Remember that we have broken up. I'm just fine if.. If you're back being my friend only.." I bow to him, pushing him away from approaching my face.

"Let's just be friend." Those words come out from my mouth after a few months.

I sit on my desk, looking at Jinyoung's pictures that were posted online. Mostly of them are with beautiful girls. My heart aches as I take a look at the pictures where he hugs the girl.

I take out a piece of paper and decided to write a farewell letter for Jinyoung as I can't handle with his lies anymore.

Dear Bae Jinyoung,

Yes. This is Seo Seorin. The girl that you hated but you dated. I'm feeling grateful enough to know you. I know I will be hurt like this when I accepted your offer to be your girlfriend.

But don't worry, I'm fine with all of that. Although there's tons of hateful comments on my Instagram that told me to break up with you. And... I will grant their wishes.

You must be shocked when you know that I have cancer at last. I should tell you but I know you wouldn't treat me the same as how you always treat me like when we're still at high school. You will only treat me with pity, not love. I'm sometimes envy of our memories a few years ago. I'm sorry if you're the last person to know that I have diagnosed with cancer.

When you read this, we truly have nothing at all. Memories only remains memories. I wish you could find someone better than me. I hope you would get a girlfriend as fast as you could. Replace me, that's the best. Most importantly that you have to remember.. Don't hurt her, don't mistreat her and don't ever play with her feelings. I don't want your next girlfriend heartbroken.

If I'm still alive, let's just be friends. But if I've already leave this world, don't waste your time visiting my grave.

Stay healthy and be shining forever.

From, Seo Seorin
