13 - Wish you were here when I need you

Yeri pov*

I finished writing the letter, I tried my best not to cry because this was my first job I had in a while. I'm just scared that no other company would take me in then I will have to depend on my unnies and I don't want to go back to the past where my unnies supporting me financially. It even took a while for me to convince Irene unnie that I want to pay myself for my part of the rent. 

As soon as I finish writing the letter, I went straight to bed to take a nap. But I couldn't sleep, after trying for about 20 minutes, I gave up. I got out of bed and looked outside my bedroom window. It stopped raining but the sky was still gloomy and dark.

I grabbed my jacket, earphones and phone and left the house. I plugged the wire into my phone and put the ear piece in my ear. I played "Lonely" by 2ne1 since I was not in the mood to listen to any upbeat songs. 

I'm walking down the street, putting my hands in my jacket while listening to music. I headed towards a park that I usually go to make myself cheer up since the place has happy memories with my unnies.

When I reached the playground in the park, I sat down on a swing. I suddenly miss him, everytime something sad happens to me, he would usually be there. Wish you were here when I need you.

I spent the whole morning going to different auditions for a job. Out of the five audition, none took me in, they think I'm too young for the job because age means irresponsibility . I know I am 17 but I was really smart in school so I graduated college at the age of 16. (A/N: I know this doesn't make sense in real life but it does in this book)

I arrived at my share-home to see my unnies packing their clothes. We auditioned to become k-idols weeks ago for fun and we all made it but I had to wait for another year since I was too young. There going to leave this not shared-home anymore and move into a dorm. 

"Yeri-ah, how did all the auditions go?!?" Wendy unnie asked

"It didn't go well, none accepted me ... because of my age" I mumble the last part but they apparently were able to hear it. I almost teared up while saying it.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and rush towards. We were all now hugging and crying together.

"U-unn-ies, pr-promis to vis-vist me when y-your free" I said while crying my tears out, I'm going to be alone again.

They felt guilty for moving away, leaving me alone, today was the last day they could spend our time together. Irene and Wendy unnie cooked food while Joy and Seulgi cleaned the house. They told me to sit down but I insisted to help.

We spent the whole night together, smiling, laughing, hugging and crying.

This morning, I woke up to see the room, kitchen, living room and even the toilet is empty. They already left, now it's only me. I went to the kitchen counter and saw a sticky-note.

"Dear Yeri-ah,

We are so sorry for leaving you alone but don't worry, we will come visit you when we're free. Don't forget to eat everyday and sleep enough because we know how hard your working to find a job. So try your best and don't give up, we won't always be there to laugh with you, smile with you and hug you when you cry but doesn't mean you can't text or call us. 

Again we're so sorry for leaving you alone and stay strong for one more year before you can train with us too. 

- Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy unnie :) "

Tears started to fall down, landing on the piece of paper. I quickly wiped away the tears because I knew I had to be strong for myself and them. To also never give up and endure one more year before I could see them again.

Another day, another numerous failed attempts of getting a job. I felt like crying again but I knew my unnies would not want to see me in sadness. I miss them already. 

I grab my phone out of my pocket but someone bumped into my shoulders which made me drop my phone. I grabbed my phone to check if anything was broken since this was my last gift from my unnies before they left. I examined the phone to see any scratches but I relaxed as there weren't none.

I quickly apologize to the stranger without making eye-contact. As I start to walk away, I felt someone grab my wrist, I turn around to look at the physical contact and lifted my eyes.

"Jun-Jungkook?!"
