Yuri's POV

It's been a week since the accident that kill my parents. It killed them and yet somehow I managed to survive. I was able to go home after a week of observation in hospital. The doctors said I was lucky. I suffered a few broken ribs, a mild concussions and bruises. I had to have a few a stitches for some deep cuts aswell. I'm very surprised that I was seriously hurt, I had no other broken bones. After being discharged, I went home and just laid on my bed. 

"Why did I surive?" I asked myself, tears falling down my cheek. The accident kept replaying in my mind and I couldn't get rid of it. No matter how many times I tried to get it out of my mind, it wouldn't go away. Perhaps it's time to leave and start a new life. "There's nothing left for me anymore" I whispered.

When I was younger, my parents took me to Seoul. It was such a beautiful place from what I remember so i decided from then on that when I was older, I would live there. Well I guess it's time to go. Even though I was only 20, I knew how to take of myself as my parents taught me well and they gave me the freedom to do things on my own. I grabbed my laptop, searching for apartments in Seoul. I found some really nice ones but they weren't for me. I soon came across a perfect appartment, it was in a building to SM. It had a balcony and it was really pretty. Suddenly my phone started ringing, I looked at it and saw that it was Taemin calling. He was my cousin.

-----------------Phone convo-------------------

"Hello?" I answered

"Yul!" exclaimed Taemin

"Hey Taemin"

"Yul, why haven't you answered my calls?" 

"I'm sorry. I've just been out of it"

"Aww Yul. Are you okay?" 

"I'm hanging in there. I'm starting to come to terms with everything"

"You shouldn't be by yourself at a time like this. I'll catch the next flight over" 

"No No It's okay. I'm....fine. I'm not staying here anyway" 

"What? Where are you going?"

"I'm moving to Seoul" 

"That's a big step. Are you sure you're ready?" 

"Oppa there's nothing left for me here. I need to get away" 

"Okay I'll be waiting for you. I'll pick you up at the airport. Text me the details, arrasso?" 

"I will oppa. I'll be there within the week" 

"Okay Yul. Take care and don't hestiate to call me, anytime, anywhere, Arrasso?" 

"Ne oppa. I love you, I'll see you soon" 

"I love you too. Yes I'll be waiting" 

------------end of convo---------------

We said our goodbyes before ending the call. I then took another look at the apartment I was looking at, I called up the manager of the building and arranged the details then I bought it. Everything had worked out and I payed for the shipping of my belongings. I then looked at flights to Seoul, I finally found one that suited my time. I'll be flying out on Tuesday more, I guess I should pack now.
