Dear Aunt Lia,
I knocked on her door.
"The only reason you're having this fight right now is because you've never been honest to each other about your feelings. Talk to each other and understand each other" Yoongi's words echoed in my head.
"Come in" I heard a soft voice say. I entered the room which was dimly lit as unnie sat at her desk under a lamp typing away on her laptop.
"Unnie.." I mumbled.
"Hee Young" she said as she kept away her work and turned toward me.
"I have to say something" we both said at the same time.
She smiled.
"Can I got first?" She asked.
I nodded as I sat down at the edge of her bed. She sat beside me.
"I know you're mad at me and you have every right to be. Mother and I never apologized to you for leaving you. Even though you were with Aunt Lia, you were young, you needed mom. But at that time, we were in such a condition, we were so poor Hee Young we couldn't have raised you the way you are now..." She paused.
"Mother didn't want that. We were so stuck on giving you a good life that we didn't realize that you wanted to be with us, to spend your time as a normal kid. I didn't have normal childhood full of fun memories, and somehow I didn't let you have one either"
"Just as you were settled with Aunt, I dragged you back here. I've never thought about you. I thought I could help you. Now that Aunt Lia is.." she stopped abruptly.
"Please forgive me" she said as a tear rolled down her eyes.
"Unnie" I said as I hugged her.
"I'm sorry I never tried to understand what you and Mom went through. I acted like such a spoiled kid, I'm so so sorry" I said as I cried.
"You were never a spoiled kid Hee Young. You're so strong" she said.
This is the closest I've ever felt to unnie.
Maybe we finally found our bond again.
We can finally be good sisters now.
And spend time creating memories.
I have this new found hope in me now. That everything will get better after this.
So I decided that now that this important chapter in my life had been closed,
There were several others that I needed to close.
~yours truly
Hee Young.

Fanfiction"Tell me Hee Young. Tell me what's wrong" he said. "I'm fine" I told him. "Quit lying. To me and to yourself" I looked at him straight in his eyes and in that moment I knew he wanted to know. That he cared.
