End of Summer, Beginning of Solitude
Part 6
Jimin's mom walked across the emergency room towards the bed.
She checked the name tag on the foot of the bed and the dangling IVs above it and removed a dried blade of grass from JiMin's shoulder.
I hesitantly walked towards her and bowed.
I felt I had to tell her why JiMin ended up in the emergency room and how he had a seizure at the bus stop.
JiMin's mom seemed to realize I was there for the first time. But she immediately turned her eyes away after saying a quick thank-you without waiting for me to explain.
It wasn't until the doctors and nurses began to move his bed and I was about to follow that JiMin's mom glanced at me again.
She thanked me once again and pushed my shoulder.
On second thought, she didn't actually push me.
She just placed her hand on my shoulder and quickly removed it.
In that fleeting moment, a line was drawn between us.
That line was firm and solid.
It was cold and undeletable.
I'd never be able to cross over that line.
I lived at an orphanage for more than ten years
. I could recognize lines like that with all my senses,
see it in people's eyes, and feel it in the atmosphere.
I stepped back disconcertedly and fell backwards.
JiMin's mom just gazed at me blankly.
She was small and beautiful, but her shadow was large and chilly.
That large shadow cast over me as I sat crumpled on the emergency room floor.
When I looked up, JiMin's bed was gone.
