Goodbye First Love

chapter20

"May i ask who this is?"

"Ah, my bad. I am calling from the Seoul Plane team."

"We want to inform you, that Kim Sooguk and Kim Yeonhwa got into a plane crash on their way to Hawaii. We are sorry to inform you, that they passed away. Since you are still a minor, our side will bare the burial cost."

Those words keeps on playing in my head. I still can't believe, nor do i want to believe it. But i know that i am in denial. I know since yesterday that there is a possibility of them being in that accident, but i denied it and keep on feeding lies to my self.

Tomorrow will be my parent's burial day. I didn't tell anyone. Not even my friends.

From tomorrow on, i will live with my grandparents. Well, actually they will come over and live here. Tho they will go back to their home town once in a while.

I am now laying in my bed looking like a lifeless person. I don't even know what else i should do at this time. My whole world feel like it just collapsed.

I was still not in the mood to do anything, when suddenly my phone ranged. I look at the dialer and saw jennie's name.

I was about to reject the call, but then again, i don't want to make anyone worry. So i picked up.

"Dahyun! Quickly come to the Flower Hospital!" Jennie shout from the other side.

"Wae?" I say. My voice has no energy at all.

"Tae's mother was found passed out when he got home. And he is now panicking. Kai is here too. So can you come?" Jennie say. In the background i could hear some people shouting and yelling.

I close my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Okay. I'll be there in five minutes." I say weakly, then hang up.

I took my jacket and went out. I call a cab and it quickly arrived. I didn't even bother to fix my hair.

....

Once i am in the hospital, i went straight to the room jennie texted me to go to. I knock on the door and jennie was the one who open it.

"You are finally here. And-whoa, what happened to you. Did you cry?" Jennie say.

"Never mind me. What happened here?" I say.

"Oh, just when kai and me just arrived at kai's house, tae called kai and asked for help. He was crying then. So kai and me quickly went to his house. I thought you are already there, but it seems like you are not." She say.

"So where is tae?" I asked.

Jennie drag me inside. And i saw a totally messed up tae.

"Tae. I'm here." I say as i hug him.

But he just keep on crying.

To be honest, i am not in a mood to comfort anyone when i can't even comfort my self. But he is my friend. I don't want to see any of my friend crying.

"It's okay. She's gonna be okay." I say as i shushed him.

He faintly nods. But his tears still won't stop. Then i saw kai being called by the doctor. They seems to be talking about something. Kai nodded and came back to us.

"What did he say?" Jennie asked.

"He says that she is in a coma. And also, she has to be transfered to the hospital abroad because they don't have the tools needed to treat her." Kai say.

"What is her disease?" I asked.

"Brain tumor."

My eyes widened. It is a serious issue. I turn my head back to tae. And he is just helplessly sobbing.

"Tae. Do you have any other family member?" Jennie asked.

"I know where my dad is." Tae say between his sobs.

"Do you have his number?" Kai say.

"Yes. He gave it to me when he left me and mom." Tae say.

"I think this time you should tell him what happened and ask for his help." Jennie say.

Tae nodded and wipe away his tears. Then he faintly smile towards the three of us.

"I got it. It is already late now. You should go home. I am sorry for causing you trouble." Tae say.

"You are not causing any trouble. You are our friend." Kai say.

He smiled and nodded.

"Okay then. If you say you're fine, then we'll go home first. Bye tae." Jennie say as she leaves with kai.

"I'll be going too. Take care, tae." I say.

He nodded and said goodbye.

....

I am now alone again, at this empty home. I sighed and went to my bed room and soon drift to sleep.

In the next morning, i get out of bed and get ready for my parent funeral. My grandparents will be there and they will start to live here. Since yesterday, i have been thinking. Should i just drop school and look for a job? Since my parents are not here anymore, there will be no one who can pay my school fees. My parents have lots of savings, but that won't last forever. I also can't ask money from my grandparents.

I sighed and just went to the funeral location. Before heading out, i called the school asking for a leave. I only say that i have some family business.

....

At the funeral location, i can only stare at my parent's grave. They say that they couldn't find their dead bodies, or their bodies might be destroyed in the crash.

Though now i am standing here, in front of their graves, i can no longer cry. I am out of my tears.

My parent's close friends came and tried to comfort me. But i just say that i am okay. I can accept the reality that they are gone. Besides, i know that they will be happier up there.

Just when i was about to go home, i saw my grandparents. They came to me and hug me. They said lots of comforting words to me. And i just return them with a faint smile.

"I think we should go home now. It's getting late." My grandpa say.

My grandma agree, so we went home.

....

As soon as we got home, i took a quick shower and went to bed. My grandparents also did the same.

I really don't want to go to school tomorrow, but i have to. Tomorrow will be the last day that i will go to school. After tomorrow, there will be graduation day.

I have discussed this with my grandparents. About me dropping school and look for a job. My grandparents said that it is my choice so they will agree to whatever i choose.

So i have decided that i will not continue to the third grade and drop out.

It is a hard decision, but i have to.

I close my eyes and soon drift to dream land.

To be continue.......
