i can't take it anymore.
the pain is too much.
i can't get my mind off of him.
i'm broken.
so i lift up the almost done soju bottle and bring it to my lips, downing it.
the liquor flows down my throat while i sit in my college dorm room and stare blankly at my laptop in front of me.
it burns the back of my throat for only a little then goes away. i place the now empty bottle down and lay back on my office chair.
the door to my shared dorm room opens and i don't even bother to look to see who it is.
"eun you need to stop doing this!!" my best friend and roommate nari says.
i don't answer. i just continue to stare at my laptop.
i feel a small buzz helping me feel loose but i need more.
i slowly stand up and walk out of the door, not even caring about my appearance.
nari
she looks horrible.
everyday i come back to our dorm to see her even worse than before.
at school she holds up well but once we enter the dorm it's all downhill.
i have to do something.
nari: hey mingi!
mingi: hi nari it's so late over there what are you doing up.
nari: i just need to tell you something.
mingi: what is it?
nari: eun is not doing to well.
mingi: is she ok?
eun: ever since you left she eats but not much. she eats so she can survive not because she is hungry. she turned to alcohol. after school she sits in bed and cries. it's physically hurting her.
mingi: thank you for telling me. i'll talk to her.
