MEMOIRS

CHAPTER - 12 : GARDEN

"Hello? Hee unnie! How- Wait-Are you crying?!"

"Bo Young..." Seul Hee sobbed.

"Why are you crying? Tell me, you are making me worried."

"These days the hospital is full of patients, so I have become really busy. But, my husband has been misunderstanding and scolding for last few days. I can't take it."

"What? He is not understanding you? Don't cry now unnie. It will all become alright soon. Don't cry now.

"Alright, how is school?"

"It's normal I guess?"

"You don't seem too happy."

"No, you're absolutely wrong. I got two friends. They have been really nice to me."

"Oh- Bo Young he is back, I will call you tomorrow good night."

"Oh alright. Bye."

They ended the call. "Strange, He is late and why is he scolding Hee unnie? Alright, let's go to bed." She said and fell asleep. The next morning, she woke up earlier than she expected. "Arghh, my head is paining. Why is this happening every year? Previous years when I was in Miami it was even worse, that caused a whole drama in the school. I don't want it to happen this year too. I hope I will be able to bear it." She said and woke up with a whole set of headache. She started leaving for school. She was about to lock the doors but one thing crossed her mind. She thought: "Wait- after getting the ornament from Yeon Joon did I put it back on my bag? Let's check." She checked and was right. She didn't put it back. She went and got it and then put it back on her bag. "I somehow feel lonely without this." She said and went down the stairs. As soon as she got down the stairs she saw Hyun Wook standing there. "Oh sunbae! Why are you here? I can go by myself though." She said. "I know but if I don't give you support then Ji Ae will grill me." He said. "Ji Ae told you? I will tell her so you don't have to do that exactly. Let's go." She said. She kept massaging her head. The pain was a bother to her. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Yeah. Sunbae, and I request you to not tell anyone that I'm working in part time job." She said. "But, Ha Sang and Yeon Joon already know it." He said. "Oh Yeah, then it's alright. But why are you working in a part time job? All those studying in this school are from rich families I suppose." She asked. "It's true that I'm rich but my parents wanted me to experience a normal student life. They don't like me to live all luxurious." He said. "Wow, that's a lot." She said. They reached school. The weather was nice. But her headache was the same. She was looking around. She saw the garden in the side. She thought: "Oh! How come I forgot? I was going to water those plants. I guess it's normal for someone to not start a new habit. Argh, this headache is killing me." "Sunbae, I have to go somewhere. Thanks for keeping me company. See you later!" she waved and walked towards the garden. Hyun Wook nodded and left too.

She went to the garden. She thought: "Woah, these are really beautiful. Have any students seen these scenario? I swear that I won't even be able to see these in any part of the country." She started walking further. She stepped into something. "A cold drink can? Sigh, these students can't even keep a beautiful place-" She was cut off. "What are you doing here?" Someone asked. She thought: "Whaat? I thought I was the only one here." She turned to take a look at the person. It was Ha Sang. She thought: "Why is he there at every place I go? First at the auditorium, then the store, then here." "Same question goes to you. What are YOU doing here?" She asked. "I asked you first." He said. "I came here for something. Now tell me why you are here." She said. "I come here regularly." He said. "It isn't a store yet you come her regularly." She said. "If you have a problem with that then leave! Nobody forced you to stay here." He said. "Why should I leave? I have some work to do here." She said. "Then do it and leave." He said. She glared at him and took out her water bottle. She went towards the flowers arranged on the walls. She poured the water gently. Then sat down to water the plants arranged down along the line. The cool breeze made it even better. Her hair was in the way, she then tucked it behind her ear. Ha Sang was watching the scene like watching a movie. She was confused on which plant to water next. She saw a very pretty lavender and Mimi pink* coloured  petals alternatively. She thought: "Woah, am I seeing right? This looks so pretty. This flower is Devopré**. And this flower seems so familiar. I don't think I have seen this anywhere. This one is so magnificent." She slowly went towards the flower. "Stop!" Ha Sang yelled. Bo Young got startled and looked at him tilting her head. "Don't go near her." Ha Sang said firmly. "Alright. But her?" She asked. "She is lavami." Ha Sang said. "But isn't this flower's name devopré?" She asked. "Yeah, It is but I named her differently. It's mine so I don't let anyone touch it." He said. "Oh okay." She said and sighed in relief. She thought: "Sigh, I feel somehow good now. I think coming here relieves my stress. I should get going now." She started leaving but then saw the soft drink can down. "Try not to throw the trash in this place." She said. "That wasn't thrown by me." He said back. "Oh then throw it when you see any lying on the floor anywhere." She said and picked it up and started walking. "Hey! What about the medicine that I gave?" He asked. "Oh, that, it reduced the pain. Thanks." She said and left. Ha Sang smiled and left soon after.
