We're heading deep inside lives a voice, a voice so quiet
But I can't hear that voice when your heart beats next to mine

☆ ☆ ☆Heiryung sat next to Meirong on a school bench in the courtyard, both had a small box of food in their laps.
"So am I allowed to go to the trial," Meirong finally said in a hushed voice, her feet playing with her navy blue skate board while she ate.
"That's what you say," Heiryung asked in surprise.
To be honest, she had expected something like 'I'll kill him,' or 'you're telling me this now,' or maybe even 'I'm so sorry Ryung.'
"Yes," she said, "I'm not going to say sorry because I know how that feels. It feels empty worded and so commonly said that it's hard to believe. And me saying I'll kill him isn't the best decision as well since Jisung boy already tried that and look where it landed him."
Heiryung glanced at Meirong in confusion.
"You know... how it... feels?"
"Yeah," she said, "my dad cheated on my mom when I was eight."
Heiryung inhaled while look at her friend chewed the remaining bits of her food.
"They had a really nasty divorce and my mom won legal guardianship over me and my sister. I never saw him, once when I was twelve, and a little before I moved from China."
"Both times my mom got immensely drunk, yelled at me, nearly disowned me, and my dad? He turned into a vape god, drug addict, alcoholic. Neither were abusive, but..."
"You don't have to carry on," Heiryung said looking at her friend.
"I've been going to therapy since I was thirteen let's just say," Meirong finished before flashing Heiryung a smile.
Heiryung nodded and took another bite of her lunch.
"Meirong," she said, "you said you got your soulmate dream...?"
Meirong smiled.
"Yeah," she said, "he's Chinese. And he seems really sweet. We meet on a beach ya know? I'm not sure if I'll ever meet him though because he lived in Shanghai."
"Isn't that where your dad lives," Heiryung asked.
Meirong inhaled.
"Last time I visited him his meth addict friend tried to drown me," she said with a small laugh, "and I searched for him, but..."
Meirong trailed off again.
Heiryung nodded as Meirong shoved the lunch box into the bottom of her backpack and stand.
"Well what's next," she asked before reaching out a hand.
"Uhm I have," Heiryung paused before picking up her bag.
"English with Jisung."
Meirong smiled before Heiryung took her hand.
"Well," she shrugged, "good luck at the trial tomorrow."
Heiryung smiled as the two girls walked back inside the school, Heiryung now reenergized for class, and the upcoming trial that lay ahead her.
