New Life, New Start

Chapter 2: Time To Go

Monday

Yuri's POV

I had an appointment at the hospital, it was a check up on my injuries and I need to pass it to be able to fly to Seoul tomorrow. The doctor had just finished taking an X-ray of my ribs and I was waiting in a private for the doctor to come back. I looked around the room, cringing at the sight. I really hated hospitals. they creeped me out. The doctor came back into the room and he put the picture of my ribs against the light board to get a good look. "Have you been lifting anything heavy?" He asked. I nodded my head. "I'm in the process of moving" I informed him. He nodded at me. "There is still a bit of swelling around your ribs and there's still bruising" He said to me. I nodded along at his words. "Do you have to anymore packing to do?" He asked me. I shook my head. "No everything is done" I replied. He nodded taking notes. "Well you need to take it easy or you won't heel properly. I'll give you some painkillers and we'll take your stitches now" He explained. I nodded again then he left to get the equipment to take my take my stitches out. I couldn't wait to get out of here, I needed to finish sorting out my stuff aswell. The doctor came back in and took my stitches out. "You are free go now. These are your painkillers, take twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I'll arrange an appointment at Seoul Hospital so they can get your injuries" He said. "Okay thank you" I said, bowing before leaving. I headed straight home to prepare for tomorrow. I only had to worry about my hand luggage, my passport and my plane ticket. I spent the rest of the day relaxing like the doctor told me to do then I prepare my clothes for tomorrow. 

Tuesday

I had a 5am wake up call, I was still tired as I hadn't slept much last night. I quickly jumped into the shower and did what I had to do to get ready. I then changed into my clothes: A white printed t-shirt, black panel ripped skinny jeans, denim jacket and black & white sneaker wedges. I double checked that I had everything, adding my last minute belongings. I quickly packed up my laptop away along with my phone charger, phone, toothbrush, hairbrush, remaining makeup, song book and pen. I then took my bag out of my room before locking windows and various doors around the house. I switched off the power before taking one last look, taking everything in. My eyes landed on a certain door, it was my Appa's study. I slowly opening the door and peeked in. I guess I was expecting my Appa to be there, sitting at his desk reading the paper. I sighed, he wasn't there and he never will be. I walked over to his desk, I slowly sat down in his chair, taking in my surroundings. I opened his desk drawer, casually looking through it. I came across a white envelope, it had my name on it so I opened it, finding a piece of paper. I realised it was a letter, I unfolded it and began to read it. 

"Dear My Darling Daughter,

                                              Today is your 21st Birthday, Happy Birthday my love. Your mother and I are so proud of you.

Love, 

           Your umma & Appa xxx

Tears slid down my cheeks as I finished reading the letter. How I miss them so much. There came a sudden a knock at the door which knocked me out of my thoughts. I carefully put the letter back into the envelope and put into my bag before standing up. Suddenly there was a thump, I looked down on the floor and saw something shining in the light. I knelt down, picking it up and holding in the palm of my hand. It was a gold locket, it was open and I saw two pictures inside. My Mother & Father. I smiled upon seeing their faces. There was another knock at the door, I quickly put the locket in my pocket before closing the drawer and rushing out of the door. I grabbed all the house keys before opening the door, revealing a young man. "Annyeonghaseyo" He said bowing. I greeted him and bowed back. "Are you Miss Kwon?" He asked. "Ne. I am" I replied. "Do you need any help with your bags?" He asked. "No thank you. I only have one. I'll be ready in a minute" I exclaimed. He nodded his head before bowing and walking down the path. I looked around one last time before leaving and locking the door behind me. I'll be back again one day. I left the house and ended to the driver's car and he took me to the airport. I got checked in and headed towards customs, I was hungry so I went to get something to eat. 

********2 Hours Later********

My plane was ready to leave, they were currently boarding passengers and I was sitting in the middle of the plane. I was called up to board the plane and soon it was pretty much flilled. I quickly sent a text to Taemin, telling him I'm on the plane and I'll be arriving soon. I closed my eyes to relax myself but someone tapped my shoulder. I opened my eyes and I looked at whoever it was. He smiled down at me, he was quite handsome and I blushed. "Can I get through to my seat please?" He asked. I slowly nodded my head and moved my legs so that he could get past. He settled down in the seat next to me. "My name is Choi Minho" He said extending his hand. "My name is Kwon Yuri" I said while shaking his hand. He smiled at me again so I smiled back at him.

"Do you live in Seoul?" He asked. "No. I'm moving there" I replied. He nodded at me. "That's a big step. What made you decide that?" He asked. "Life. It's time for me to move on, I won't go into details" I said, looking at him. "Oh I see. I've been visiting my parents" He said. "That's nice" I replied, sending him a small smile. The plane took off and we were in the air, it wasn't a very long flight, it was only about two hours. "Have you found a place to live?" He asked. "Ne. I've just bought a nice apartment" I said smiling a little. "I live in an apartment to, They're really nice. What building are you in?" He said smiling at me. "Oh SM building. My cousin lives in an apartment there to" I informed him. "Oh jinja? I live in that building, maybe I know your cousin" He said, chuckling. I laughed a little. "Maybe you do. He said he knows most of the people who live in the building" I exclaimed. "Yeah most of them are really friendly. You'll make really good friends there" He said. I chuckled in response. "That's good to hear" I replied. It was silent for a few minutes. "Do you want to get a lift with me? I mean we'll be going to the same building and it'll save on money" He offered. "That's sweet of you but my cousin is picking me up. You can come with us...if you like" I said shyly. "Your cousin won't mind?" He asked. "He's really nice and I'm sure he'll be happy to give you a lift" I replied. "Okay then Kwon Yuri, I'll be happy to get a lift with you" He exclaimed. I blushed and smiled.

Minho and I talked all the way through the flight and we walked together off the plane. We went to the baggage claim and he picked up his suitcase then we headed out of the airport. "Do you know where he's picking you up?" asked Minho. Just as I was about to answer him, someone shouted my name. "Yuri-ah" said a voice. I turned to see Taemin standing there, smiling at me. "Annyeong oppa" I said. "Annyeong Yul" He said, pulling me into a hug. I looked at Minho, Taemin also did and it looked like they knew each other. "Nice to see you again Min. How's the family?"" exclaimed Taemin, greeting his friend. "So you do know each other?" I asked, smirking. "Yes we're good buddies" exclaimed Taemin, bumping fists with Minho. I rolled my eyes and giggled at them both. "How do you know each other?" asked Taemin, a little confused. "Oh we were sat together. Funny coincidence huh?" said Minho. He nodded at him. "I didn't know you were flying today. You want a lift? It'll save you money" said Taemin. "Told you he wouldn't mind" I said smirking. We headed to the car, Minho put his suitcase and bag in the boot. "Do you want to sit in the front, Yuri?" asked Minho. "No it's okay. I'll sit in the back, I think I'll be comfier but thank you for the offer" I said to him. I gave him a quick peck on the cheek before getting into the car. Taemin then drove us to the SM building which was a hour away from the airport.
