'the pain of the past' (2)

Hee-young P.O.V

"Hey, Seowoon.." I tried to hide my shyness.

"Oh, Hi. You're Hwa-young's sister right?" He smiled so charmingly..

"I-I am.." I smiled back.

"Hey.. Um your face is red, are you okay? Are you having a fever?" he concernly asked.

"O-oh, No! O-of course not! I'm perfectly fine."

I blushed even more because he was concerned.

"Is it hot here? Do you need a glass of water?"

"No it's okay-"

"Yo, Seowoon!" Unnie shouted and waved from a far.

"Oh! Hey, Hwa-young!" He shouted back.

Unnie ran towards us or rather.. Towards him.

The way she looked at him.. I could tell, he wasn't just a friend is in her eyes.

"Hee-young?"

I snapped out of my thoughts.

"You okay? Seowoon just told me about how your face was so red.. I'm starting to worry because you kind of daydreamed.."

"Ah.. I'll just go back inside and rest till I get better." I smiled.

I walked towards my room feeling bitter.

I sat in front of window, where I could see Seowoon and Unnie giggling and laughing away.

They would make a great couple.. But it hurts to see my crush and my sister having a great time while I'm stuck here pretending to be sick.

Why am I such a pussycat?

I can't even stand in front of my crush without blushing so hard.

Not only am I a pussycat I'm pathetic..

Useless, utter trash..

I can't even reach my father's expectations..

"Hee-young.."

Eomma came in to my room and sat beside me, she looked outside and sighed.

"Don't be too sad darling.. Think for what's best for your sister and you. I know you'll find the right guy when you grow older."

"B-but how did you know.?" I asked in utter shock.

I never knew anyone could decipher my emotions.. I guess Eomma is an exception.

"I was once like you. But he was never the one, I picked your father in the end despite his bad temper and high expectations." She sort of joked.

"It's 11.. We should tell the guest to go back home. You're all still in high school anyway."

My mother suddenly shouted through the window.

"Kids! You better get out of my house and get home safely, okay? Go home before 11. 15 or I'LL tell all of your parents you've been hanging out at my house for far too long! "

Eomma always said threats that seem scary and funny at the same time.

"Oh- It's 11. 14! I'm serious I'll tell your parents!"

Everyone started to scram as they knew that my mom has all connections to their relatives and parents.

She's a pretty sociable person.

"Eomma.. Since Appa is away on a business trip, can I sleep with you today? " I asked as if I was a 8 year old kid.

"Aww..  You're still a baby aren't you." She chuckled and pinched my cheeks.

"Yesh I am."

"Of course, Does Hwa-young wants to sleep over in my room too? "

"Nah, she's fast asleep."

"Let's go then."

~

"Eomma.." I called.

"Yes, my dear?" She asked in concern.

"What will I do if you're not here with me?"

"well... I won't be able to stay on this earth forever, I have to die one day just like everyone else."

"When I turn 20 will you still be here?" I asked as tears flowed down my cheeks.

"If god wants me to then, yes." She chuckled and creased my hair and wiped off the tears on my cheeks with her hand.

"Just go to sleep, okay?"

She hugged me and we fell asleep.
