Chapter 4: Graveyard Tears
written in kang hyeseul's pov
As the sky gets darker, my feelings became heavier. For almost half an hour, I've been crying my heart out, telling every pain and heartaches of mine to Younmi.
"Should I just end my life? It seems peaceful up there. My father's probably waiting for me too." I said, letting a bitter chuckle out, which made Younmi slap my arm lightly.
"Kang Hyeseul!" She sternly said.
"Why would you say that, huh?" Younmi pulled me into an embrace, holding me tightly in her arms as if I'll disappear.
"I don't even understand what's happening with my life these days, Youn. It's so messed up."
"Do you think your father will be happy to see you up there knowing that you took your own life away?" Younmi asked, making me cry harder as I shook my head no.
She heaved a loud sigh, stroking my back as I cry in her arms.
"I know you're having a hard time, but it's not a reason for you to give up. Pain, failures, and heartaches? Those events in your life won't happen without a specific reason. It may be confusing, frustrating, and even depressing right now, but trust me. It will soon make sense."
Younmi said in the most comforting voice I've ever heard, pausing for a few seconds before continuing to speak.
"Everything will eventually fall into its right places. Just wait for that time to come, and I'm telling you, all the pain you're experiencing now will turn into great happiness later on."
Younmi then broke the hug and flashed a faint smile at me as she wipes my tears. "Endure a little longer, Hyeseul-ah."
Endure a little longer?
How long should I?
I've been enduring so much ever since I was a kid.
How long should I put up with this miserable life?
I badly want to ask those things, but I chose not to. Instead, I took a deep breath and left all those questions caged inside my chest.
How suffocating.
Just then, my head started to ache, making me close my eyes only to see myself with an unfamiliar man.
He was smiling warmly at me, holding my hand gently as he tuck some hair behind my ear.
I wanted to see him, but I couldn't manage to picture his actual face because it was blurry.
That's when he suddenly spoke;
"You don't have to be alone too. Let's face all our pains and heartaches together from now on. We can endure longer, Hyeseul. We can endure longer for our dreams."
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Younmi asked.
"My head hurts, Youn. I'm getting dizzy." I said, leaning my head on her shoulder as I try to ignore the scene that played in my mind.
"Tsk tsk tsk. This is why you have to quit drinking for good. I'm super close to calling your ex just so you would come to your senses."
