16 I just like you

"Even though if you decide to waste your energy on me it will still be my choice to accept it or not" Nari replied coldly. "And I don't know why the fuck you want me to live. Why are you doing this?" "Because life is fucking beautiful, don't you realize it? It is so damned gorgeous that it makes me want to live so badly and the second reason is I like you." Nari had a slightly suprised face not because Yon said that he liked her but because it was the first time he had sweared. "Are you confessing to me right now?" "Aniyo." "Then why are you saying that you like me?" "I don't like-like you in that way but I-I..." "Would you just stop stuttering for christs sake and finish your damned sentence." "What I mean is that I don't like you in a romantic way but instead in a....in a...Okay I also don't know in what ways I like you but I just....I just....I just like you okay?" Nari just looked away because she was crying now and it was the second time she cried infront of him. It was nari's first time to cry infront of someone other than herself. "Are you crying?" Yon asked carefully thinking that he hurt her feelings. "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry. Did I say something hurtful." "Yeah. You said that life was beautiful and that is the truth but why don't I get to see its beauty. Why do I only see its flaws and ugliness? Why do I have to be a fucking sunflower in its garden full of roses? Why? Why is life so unfair to me!" Nari choked on her tears while saying this. "Why are you acting like you are the only person to not be treated fairly by life? There are people who are in much worser condition than yours." "I KNOW THAT! I know that I am being really selfish right now but let me tell you this. Life shows pity on them and so he makes them understand the beauty of life but whenever I try to see beauty in it, it just scares me away. I also wanted to be pitied by life but it instead kicks me and beats me up like how my m-" "Why did you stop?" "I came here to jump not to explain myself to anyone." Nari rubbed away her tears and was about to jump when Yon caught her by her arms. "If you jump right now, I will also follow you and then there will be two people vanishing from this planet." Yon warned her but nari just pulled her hand and replied coldly. "Do whatever you want. I don't care." And after saying that she jumped into the water.

"He didn't follow me. I knew that he was just bluffing but he set my hopes really high back then. I hate him. He said those words without thinking twice and I don't blame him but he shouldn't have made me feel like he really cared for me and wanted me to be alive. He shouldn't have made me feel like I was worth someone's love. Well now, life won't be able to bother me anymore and keep making me feel worthless. Oppa I am coming to you. Your dongsaeng is coming to meet you. Now we both of us will be together again. Oppa wait for me a little more. I am almost- ani. Your nana is almost there."

Nari smiled because she finally felt that a burden was getting lifted from her.

splash

Someone jumped in the water and Nari saw that he was struggling so nari swam up to that boy and pulled him to the surface with all her strength. After she took him to a shore, she sat down and started cursing. "What the fuck. I was supposed to fucking die and not save someone else's life. Fucking hell. Why the fuck did I do it. Why the fuck? What the fucking hell is wrong with me?" She looked at the boy who had jumped and found out it was Yon. She was surprised because she had only just now seen the boy's face clearly. Yon was unconscious so nari pumped his chest to let out the water and right after nari did this he woke up coughing. "So it was you who jumped into the water and I thought who it was. If I had known that it was you I shouldn't have bothered to save you." Yon took a deep breath while glaring and then started. "What do you mean by 'so it was you'. Of course it was me, didn't you see my face when we were inside the water?" "You idiot. Did you think we were in some drama scene where I'll recognize your face and that to inside the water. It is already hard to see when you are inside the water without any goggles so stop dreaming about recognizing people's faces." "But still then you should've known because I already told you." "And about that thing. When you said that you would follow me I thought that you would save me and not vice versa." "But I don't know swimming and that is why I said that two people will vanish from this earth but I didn't know that you were such a great swimmer. Thanks for saving me,if you weren't there then I would have been dead and become the headline of every news." Nari started laughing. "Why are you laughing?" Yon asked somewhat irritated. "Because it is funny."
