The Star In The Midnight Rain - Chapter 15 Dont Ever

After the flower field incident, I had started to see the ghost of my parents, everywhere. It was as if the butterflies had cursed me.

No matter how many times, I hit myself, or hurt myself I wouldn’t feel anything. I would just see them again, with no eyes, all covered in blood, and they would tell me “I love you, my daughter,” and smile, a creepy smile.

It got so bad to the point where, I didn’t go home, and worked overtime. If I went home, I would be all alone and, they would just be there looking at me.

But that day I had a day off, all my work, I can’t go back home though. I don’t want to see that thing again.

So after school, I walked to the school’s pool. It had a diving board that was very high. I climbed it and, told myself I can finally end it.

But I was scared, for the first time, while trying to hurt myself. I started to cry and told myself, it will only scare me for just a second.

I was about to jump, but Min-Gyu came in and screamed “SORA GET DOWN FROM THERE.”

I couldn’t process anything so I just cried and said “Let’s go.”

He ran toward me but I jumped.

Before I knew it I was drowning. I smiled, and thought to myself “Dying is peaceful, I can finally be free.” Until I remembered what Chae-young had told me “Don’t forget that I will always love you and, always be here to support you.”

I didn’t want to die yet, I want to tell her before dying.

I tried to swim but I couldn’t my body had pressured on me and, I wasn’t breathing.

Could it really end like this? Without me telling her the truth? I guess this is the payback for my sins.

Then I felt myself being pulled out of the water and someone was kissing me. I was able to open my eyes and see Min-Gyu. I hugged him.

“Are you that stupid,” He said.

“I guess I am,” I said.

Then I realized I couldn’t tell her. It wasn’t in me. I would break her to pieces.

I pushed him away and, ran away from him. I then looked straight at him and said, “I Love You, but somehow I can’t trust you when you are carrying around a pocket knife.”

Then I was about to stab myself with it, when someone back hugged me and held my hand to, stop me.

“Is this what Jen taught you?” said the guy.

“No, but unnie…” I said.

“Exactly, now let go,” He said.

I had realized who it was.

“Ji-Wook Oppa,” I said.

I was confused but, he threw his jacket to me. I will tell you just follow me.

I nodded, and Min-Gyu caught up to me and, asked: “Who is he?” then I said “My sister’s boyfriend.”

We went to a Korean BBQ place, and he told us “Your sister told me to look out for you.”

“But how did you know I was there?” I asked, and he said, “I just knew.”

“We found the real culprit who killed your parents.” He said in a cheerful way.

I faked a smile and said, “Really who is it?”

“I am not really sure, but he confessed,” He said.

I felt shocked but I was happy at the same time.

This isn’t right though.

“It wasn’t h…” I was saying when a girl spilled water on Min-Gyu.

“I am so sorry,” She said and winked. She got a few towels and was trying to clean it herself, but he said “No worries, I can do it by myself.”

I was trying not to laugh, while Ji-Wook looked salty because he was trying to say something and, the girl interrupted.

After she left, he asked me what I was saying, but Min-Gyu stopped and said “I have to get home, it getting late,” Ji-Wook nodded, and asked, “How will you get home?” Min-Gyu said “Bus,” and left.

“Who is that kid, your boyfriend?” he asked, I was blushing but I said, “N-no we are just f-friends.”

“So what were you said earlier?” He asked and I said, “I was trying to tell Min-Gyu something.” He nodded.

“When will she be out of jail then?” I asked, and he said, “Probably in the next two weeks.”

We were done eating and he was walking me home.

“Thank you for the food,” I said, and he answered by saying, “Anytime, and good night,” I bowed and he left.

I took the elevator, and then I got off. I was walked over to my apartment, scared that I would have to be there alone when I saw Min-Gyu waiting.

I was surprised, and he said “Sorry if I scared you, but you gave me your phone, and you never took your bag.”

“Ahh thank you,” I said.

“Do you wanna come in?” I asked but he said he was fine and, he had to head home.

He left and I opened the door. I got chills right away. I decided to try and sleep with the lights on. It would have worked, but I had a lot of homework to do, which made me glad.

…

2 weeks had passed and, in those two weeks, the trial took place and, he was found guilty.

It was July 24, and my sister would come out of jail.

I was waiting for her, when she came out I ran to her and hugged her.

“Finally I can hug you,” She said.

“Let’s go home then,” I said, and she nodded.

“Oh and Ji-Wook had something to do, so he will meet you later,” I told her and she nodded.

After a long day, I was sleeping next to her again. She and I would work hard and, start fresh.

The flowers would bloom again, but I would still stay the same, because of my crimes.

Know though I would have someone I love next to me at all times now. God had sent me an angle and it was her.
