Bear My Heart A Little More

Oh boy, I am in my way to meet that girl Chaeyoung. She called me and asked to meet up in a bookstore.

To be honest, I want to run away right now. To vanished somewhere away from this country, somewhere far away were no one can reach me. To forget who I'm and what I did. To start a new page and new me. But who am I going to fool? That's just impossible to happen. I might be looking as a bad person or even pathetic. Letting people control me as they please without being able to fight them, is what's killing me the most.

When people find out about your weakness, it would be the end of you. My parents being always my biggest weakness. I wouldn't care about myself at all. All that I want is to live a normal life with my family with the little money that we make. But that loan is breaking me big time. Falling in the hands of such people only brought misery to my life.

I do want to blame them for what they did to me. I know that I can't do that and it won't change anything from our situation.

After I finish my education, I will make sure to find a job and work myself hard to pay that loan fully and then start taking car of my family. Then maybe, I will start looking for my own happiness.

I reached the bookstore and to my suprise, that girl was standing outside with another girl beside her. It didn't take her long to recognize my presence and then she waved to me.

"Hello Ms. Sana, it's nice to meet you again." She offered a handshake and I absolutely accepted it. "Hi," I simply said.

The girl beside her has a sharp eyes. She emits a strong aura around her. I think she's like a danger detector.

"This is my Unnie Jeongyeon, she lives together with me and Mina." Oh, so she's her friend I guess. "Unnie, this is Sana, one of Mina friends." I also did a handshake with this unnie here as well. So they all liv.... WAIT WHAT??? They all live together. Are they living in a dorm or something? Or maybe sharing a place together. But this girl dresses to cool for that. I would think all of them from a rich family like Mina. That's weird...

Also, this unnie aura really suppressing my soul right now. It kind of scaring me in a way.

"Let's head inside, so that we can begin our talk." This girl seems so innocent and free soul. But also sounds professional and has a tone of respect. It's been a while since I met such gentlemen behaviors. I had to deal with people whose no more than a pain to me. Except for Mina off course.

I followed their steps inside and I noticed that the girl called Jeongyeon was behind us. She seems like a bodyguards to me then an unnie.

There was a cafe inside so Chaeyoung picked a spot and we sat down together. I was looking around the place and then I saw a familiar figure on the counter. It's wasn't in the right angle for me to get a full picture of that person. Chaeyoung caught me staring and her next words shocked me. "I know what you're thinking and I will make it easy for you. Simply the girl right there is Mina. She's working here in this place most of the weeks."

I can't believe that Mina is working now. Why? Why in the world she would work when her parents can provide her with the money she need? And in top of that, she was offering to help me with expenses that day. There might be something happening that I don't know about yet. I mean, I haven't seen her in two years. Probably a lot of things changed, but I wonder how big those changes are?

"I am kind of shocked to see her working. But putting that aside for now, I am more curios to know what you're going to talk to me about today." She never mentioned what are we going to meet for. Even though I kind of know that maybe the topic is going to be about finding a place to stay for me when school starts.
