"Dr Saeng, Dr Saeng, Dr Saeng"
I felt a had on my shoulder which bolted me back to reality.
"Oh yes Dr Sang"
"Oh thank God, I've been tryna get your attention for minutes"
"Sorry I zoned out, what were you saying"
"Ah, now you expect me to say it again"
"Sorry" I simply said.
She was probably gossiping someone to me again.
"I said Yoon-Ah from college is getting married next week"
"What! With who"
"Jae-Hyun, that guy you were crushing on"
"Hmm"
"God! I know its a sore topic for you but at least show some excitement"
"Yay!"
I said with fake enthusiasm as I clapped my hands
"Happy now"
"Hmph"
"Honestly speaking tho I thought you'll know already, like weren't you and Yoon-Ah best freinds until like the incident"
She said while painting her nails as she made herself comfortable on my desk.
"Yeah, we were...."
"Though I don't know if you can even call us freinds at the moment"
"Hah, sure sucks to be you"
She said with a smug expression.
"I'll call her"
"Will you also get me an invitation, I heard its gonna be epic and its by invitation only"
"Fuck off"
I said waving her off
"Hey"
She said with a distressed face but she complied anyway.
The reason why Sang-Hwan knew about what happened in college at that time, was because she was my roommate and the only one I had close enough to call a freind after Chloe.
She came back that day to meet me curled on the floor crying
She immediately hugged me and asked me what happened.
I ended up telling her everything.
Right now my like is abnormal.
I have no family to take care of, no goals, no one I love, so all I do I wake up, work, wake up then work.
It's been a routine since I graduated college.
I sighed as I picked up my phone to call Yoon-Ah, let's just hope that her old number still works.
One ring, two rings, three ring,
Clack
She picked
"Hello Yoon-Ah speaking how may I help you"
Her soft voice came through the phone.
"Hello Yoon-Ah it's me Gwa-Saeng"
"Oh my God, Sowel I've been looking and asking around for your number, but no one seemed to have it, how have you been"
Typical Yoon-Ah telling me about my no social life.
"I've been great and you"
"I've been fine, though recently I've been busy with wedding preparations"
"I heard that's why I called, I'm happy for you"
It came out more forced than I wanted.
"Yeah I'll send you the invitation card shortly"
"Oh, also send one for Sang-Hwan she's been chewing my ear off about it"
"No problem, see you at the wedding"
"Yeah, see you"
Well that was short.
The two weeks went by a blur and before I knew it the day for the wedding arrived.
__________________________________________________________
Yikes I'm late like really late, like super late.
Ughh my shift went longer than originally planned and with the intention of resting my head for a couple minutes to get myself, I dozed off....
For three whole hours, now I'm three hours late to the wedding.
I immediately hailed a taxi and got in.
All through the ride I kept tapping my leg impatiently.
God what if I barged in and shouted I'm here the moment they asked for who opposes the marriage.
That'll be so comical and embarrassing.
The moment I got off the taxi, without looking I intended to cross the road.
I have no recollection of what happened after that, i felt was a sharp pain as I tumbled on the ground due to the impact of the car, the sound of Siren was all I heard before everything went black.
_______________________________________________________
I felt myself floating in darkness, utter darkness, they always told me if you know how to swim you'll know how to fly but unlucky me,
I couldn't swim but at that moment it's like my limbs knew what to do, like some utter muscle memory took over,
I felt myself floating, hovering in a field of reflectionless black, I felt like both nothing at everything
And then i heard something else, something other than me, someone was crying.
The person was me, holding a book, I was never an emotional person but I kept crying because of the villainess.
She suffered way too much for acts that I believe she was framed for I couldn't relate to her physical pain, but I could relate to the pain of having your freind still the guy you like.
I kept crying because of her death, the whole kingdom celebrated it even her elder brother took part in it.
So at least I wanted to be someone that mourned her
At that moment I remember me thinking in the spree of the moment
'If I can just reach out to her, and help her and hold her, comfort her, I'll do it even if it means abandoning everything'
_____________________________________________________
I slowly opened my eyes only to immediately close them back due to the sharp brightness of the room, all I remembered was the accident, but how an I still alive,
I slowly sat up but only that small movement was enough to put my whole body in pain and my head kept throbbing
Staring at my unfamiliar sorounding in shock, well this definitely does not look like an hospital room, where am I!
I was greeted with a loud bang as the door was burst open and a girl dressed in a maid clothing came in.
Upon seeing me she gasped in shock before turning around and bolting out of the door shouting
"My Lady is awake!!"
Eh, who the fuck is 'my lady'
