I never thought this would happen

At least not now

Not here.

  At a young age I’ve always had been terrified of death, the thought of my soul leaving my body as it stop functioning had always made me shiver. I always imagined my death would be a somewhat 70-80 year old version of me lying on my death bed surrounded by my grandchildren all grown up and married. Okay I understand that is a bit too cliché but at least I would die a reasonable death rather than being stabbed in the stomach. My name is Lee Min-hee and this is the story of how I died.

Chapter one:

Time, time is limitless, time itself is the very reason why humanity and all it’s being exist. Time is the reason why we get up in the morning and come back home from our everyday chores. Time is precious and a pain in the ass. It’s an hour before 7 pm and I already regretted not taking that offer to spend 8 years in medical school while I still had the chance. Even if I did take that offer up I doubt I can remember the lessons I took from year one. I rather work in a boring ass job than living my life knowing I failed. I work in a literature department which pays well and is able to provide myself with my needs. I live in a one floor apartment with two bedrooms, one bathroom and a kitchen connected to the living room. It is my first month living in Seoul and I have gotten used to the busy streets. When I first arrived here I thought I would have a heart attack. Being raised in a small town of Gangjin-eup I wasn’t accustomed to busy streets and yelling bus drivers. But it isn’t so bad, besides the fact I still don’t have any friends.

I sighed, rubbed my weary eyes and check my watch to see it has already reached 7:20. I let a sigh of relief and got up leaving my cubical. As I entered the elevator I noticed I was going to spend a couple of minutes with Kim Ae Cha a girl who acts like she owns the department. As I entered I patiently stood beside her as she gave me look and scoffed. I raised one eyebrow wondering what the hell is up with this chick. “So, I see everything is going well for you” I stayed quiet giving her a slight nod “You know with the permission of the manager I think you would do well moving to another department” I stared at her with wide eyes and opened my mouth but she cut in “Please don’t be offended by me darling I know how it’s like moving to a new city and I saw you looking rather upset for the past few weeks so I thought maybe moving to another department will make you fit in” she smiled showing her pearl like teeth “ I’m just trying to help a colleague” the elevator door rang and she once again smiled “Think about it sweetie” and with that she existed. I stood there trying to process what just happened. Did she just…I felt the anger started flaring within me. I was angry, angry because she thinks she can just go on bashing at other people but most of all I was angry because I didn’t do anything to defend myself.

I felt the tears starting to form in my eyes and I rapidly blinked away. No I will not cry not over this idiot. I existed the building and started to walk down the pavement. I could see the white puffs of air exist my mouth and I knew I should start preparing myself for winter. I passed by an alley and before I could take another step I suddenly heard a groan and the sound of knuckles hitting against something. I heard a sickening crack and a high pitched scream erupted. My eyes widened and my breath got stuck in my throat. I silently peeked inside the alley. A broad figure layed on top of a person giving deathly punches as the body lay unconscious. I felt the adernaline kick in and I did something I never thought I could do.

“STOP!” I ran and with all my might pushed the figure off and ran to the unconscious body “oh my god, oh my god.” I took a closure look and saw that the victim face was covered with blood and bruises making him look unrecognizable. By my now tears streamed down my cold numb cheeks and I turned to look at that villain. “Why?” The figure face was covered by a hood. He stuck his bloody knuckles inside his pocket and turned to leave. I got up grabbing him by the back of the arm and pulled “Hey!” I yelled and he turned around grabbing me by my neck and shoved me to the wall. Dark menacing eyes glared at me and growled. I started to shake and resisted the urge to scream. “You will mention this to no one” the sound of his voice made my body shake and shiver. I swallowed and nodded. The figure unwrapped his fingers around my neck and walked away.

I stood there and sobbed while I was punching the dial numbers with shaky hands. The line beeped “This is 119 what is your emergency” I swallowed “A person was just beaten in front of me, hurry please”

Two Hours Later

I entered my apartment after talking with the investigator I was tired and broken. The victim lived but ended up having to spend almost two weeks in the hospital. How could someone so heartless just beat up a person and walk away? If that person was capable to beat up someone and walk away than that person was also able to kill me in order to keep my mouth shut. My eyes widened and I realized what I just did. I ended up letting that person escape I could have just called the police and he would be in jail right now But I let him escape. I covered my mouth and chocked a sob. I am such an idiot it’s all my fault. Without bothering to shower or change I switched off my bedroom lights and lay under my covers snuggling closure to my pillow. I hummed a lullaby and before I knew it I was fast asleep
