Chapter 16
The next day, Eunhi wakes up to sputtering and tapping sounds outside her room.
Holidays had started, so she didn't set an alarm for the day. Checking the time in her phone, she sees it's 10:30 already.
Wobbly, she first walks out of the room, followed by the noises. Clicking the door open, she comes out to see Hyemi with another girl, packing up her stuff in cardboard boxes.
"Hey, good morning unnie." She rubs her eyes and smile.
"Good morning Eunhi." Hyemi said, "I'm packing up. This is my friend, Kyung Hee. She's here to help me." She gestures to the girl sitting beside her, who was busy taping the boxes. She slightly smiles at Eunhi and Eunhi bows. "Nice to meet you!"
"Same here." She says as she bows too.
"I'll go fresh up and then I'll make something to eat." Eunhi says as Hyemi nods. She turns around to go back to the bathroom.
-------
In the evening, it's finally time for Hyemi to leave. Eunhi hadn't lived much with her, but she felt a strong bond between them. She liked her as a sister and was now sad because she was leaving and Eunhi would be alone now.
Hyemi sighs heavily as she rolls her bag to the outside of the building, followed by Eunhi and Kyung Hee. A frown appears on Eunhi's face as she finally glance at Hyemi, who was ready to go.
"I- I'll miss you unnie." She says as her voice cracks. Hyemi hesitantly puts a hand around her neck and hugs her. Eunhi hugs her tightly too, and Kyung Hee smiles emotionally, seeing the two girls being sorrowful.
"Well, I enjoyed this time. Even though it was only for a week, but I loved living together with you Eunhi." Hyemi smiles "hope there is a chance that we could meet in future."
"Sure." The corners of Eunhi's lips curve into a small smile. "After you'll become a great doctor. I'll surely come to see you."
Hyemi blushes as she looks as Kyung Hee. "Yes, we both are planning to work together in the future."
"Really? That would be great!" Eunhi chimes as she looks at Kyung Hee, who was biting her lower lip.
"Yes, there is a chance. Hope we'll meet soon, Hyemi." She steps forward and embeaces her with a tight hug.
"I'll miss you so much." Hyemi whispers in her ear and pecks her cheek.
"Good luck. We'll meet as soon as possible." Kyung Hee pats her on her back. A cab arrives in front of their dorm and Hyemi sighs before turning around.
"Goodbye. Take care of yourselves." She finally says with a smile on her face as she gets in.
"You too! We'll miss you!" Kyung Hee and Eunhi say in union as Hyemi chuckles. Then the cab goes by, and they keep waving at her until the car finally disappears at the sharp turn.
"It was nice meeting you too, unnie." Eunhi turns to face Kyung Hee, who was biting her lower lip, lost in her deep thoughts.
"Y-yeah, same here Eunhi. Hope we can make good friends." She shook hands with her as Eunhi flashed a smile. "Sure."
"I'll be going now. I live a few blocks away, you already know. If you ever need me, don't hesitate. Think of me as your sister." Kyung Hee keeps a hand on Eunhi's shoulder as she gives her a reassuring smile.
"Of course! Take care unnie." Eunhi said and Kyung Hee sighed as she took a step forward.
"Take care too." She said.
Eunhi watched her walking giddily and she admired how beautiful hers and Hyemi's friendship is. It is just so pure.
Zipping up her jacket, Eunhi too turns around and enters into the dorm once again.
She reaches for her room as she turns the doorknob, but this time, no sweet voice welcomes her.
She silently puts her sneakers aside as she takes more steps to the front. As she look around, she glance at Hyemi's room.
Feeling perplexed, she pushes the door open only to find a completely empty room. There is no sign of the gleaming saga that once remained in this room when Hyemi was there. It just seems so...dead.
"I feel so empty and alone now." Eunhi said, feeling a lump in her throat. She was really emotional and when someone close to her leaves, it takes too long for her to forget them. She remembers them and the memories that she makes with them, remains in her mind forever.
She closes the door as she heads to the kitchen, putting herself together to make something for dinner.
--------
The next day, her alarm beeps and she wakes up. Like everyday, after taking a warm shower, she steps outside.
Once she was greeted by Hyemi's cheerful voice and a plate of appetite for her ready on the dining table. But now, there's nothing. Eunhi feels alone, and scared.
"Will I get a new roommate or not? I'm scared to be here alone.." she mutters as she fixes her hair and just fries an egg with two toasts, and a cup of coffee.
After the breakfast, she goes back to her room as she lays on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She then looks at her hand. The small diamond twinkling on her ring, but she didn't reacted to it at all.
She thinks of Ji Hoon. How he would've been? Did he missed her? Is he busy with his.... personal work? Is he gaining more enemies?
She turned and glanced at the new member in her room. "Hey Mini!" She exclaims as she waves at him.
Mini is the name of her new friend, her big, brown, fluffy teddy bear. Hyemi had gifted this to her when she was leaving. Although this name doesn't suit this a-little-too-big-guy, Eunhi still named it Mini Because she thought it was cute.
She gets up and walks to the fluffy toy, and hugs it tightly. "I'm feeling so alone! But I'm happy that I have you, Mini." She giggles as she roams her hand around the soft fur.
"What do I do now?" She mutters as she stare at the bear.
In mean time, her phone rings. She picks it up from the bed and look at the screen. The call was from an unknown number.
She picks up and puts the phone to her ear. "Hello?"
"I know you." A voice exclaims from the other line and Eunhi goes completely still.
"W-what? Who are you?" She stutters as she looks around confusedly.
"Don't you remember me?" He asks. Eunhi thinks hard as she tries to recognise this voice.
"Huh? I don't know..do I?" She says as she suddenly remembers who the owner of this voice is.
"Stop playing.. I know you already guessed it. Hm?"
"N-no! Tell me who are you?"
"Your saviour."
"My saviour?" She tries to hold her laughter as she lays back on the bed again.
"You really did forget me so easily? I can't believe this." He fake cries and Eunhi cringes.
"Okay fine! Ji Hoon ssi! How are you?" She finally bursts into laughter.
"Woah, don't laugh! I'm good, how are you?" He asks.
"Me too..so finally you got my number huh?" She now gets serious.
"Yes I did. I thought it would be weird if we would just become strangers again. I got only one chance to impress you but it got ruined.." he whispers.
"It's okay, I'm glad you tried to maintain the contact with me." She says.
"Okay, I'll be hanging up now. Have some important meeting. Take care, Eunhi ssi!" Ji Hoon suddenly stutters.
"You too Ji Hoon ssi." Eunhi said and hung up.
She sighed as she kept the phone on the bed, and recalled those incidents once again in her mind.
"Can superheroes be real?" She wonders.
Just thinking about it, she thought how she didn't even felt excited or happy even after talking to Ji Hoon. There was just something that kept bothering her. She didn't felt any kind of affection or connection with Ji Hoon.
Just after that, she got another call, this one too from an unknown number.
"Why do I always get calls from unknown numbers?" She said as she picked up.
"Hello?" She said. There were some loud sounds coming from the other line, like shouting and laughing.
"Hello? Eunhi? Jungkook here!" A voice came and Eunhi realised it was Jungkook.
"Yes Jungkook, what's up?" She asked him, a small smile creeping upon her face.
"I'm cool! We are at the park! Wanna come?" He asks and Eunhi's face lits up. "Sure. But where?"
"I'll send you the address- hey Tae don't feed those ducks doritos!" He suddenly shouted making Eunhi giggle.
"Yah, Namjoon! You broke my glasses!"
"Jin, why do you always bring that mirror with you!?"
"So that I can admire my handsome face, you idiot!"
"Tae, look at this meme, it reminded me of you!"
"Yah, shut up!!!"
A lot of muffled and shouting voices were coming from there and Eunhi asked Jungkook, "what is that?"
"Those are my friends... come here soon!" Jungkook said hurriedly as he hung up.
"What the hell?!" Eunhi laughed as she got up and wore her overcoat and got out of the room to see Jungkook and his 'weird' friends.
