sure they'd be proud of him too. Minwoo told me that his parents are really nice. They care a lot about him. His dad started out as a very poor child from a very poor family. He went to school and got a lot of education. His dad got married to his mom and they worked their business until today. Minwoo is a very rich, and lucky person, unlike me. My chest was burning. I couldn't hold it in anymore. Water started to work its way down my cheeks. "Why are you crying, Sakura?" He wiped the tears with his hands. "Nothing.It's just that I missed my old family times" "What's wrong with your current family?" "Oh my god.le-let's just say, I don't wanna talk about it." "Ok.but I'll be here for you."
After that I went back to sleep and just didn't care what was going on. Minwoo was still holding onto my hands. I couldn't figure out why. I can't say that he cared for me. When I woke up, Minwoo was cutting fruits and preparing lunch. He seemed like my mom before. He looked up at me every 2 minutes to check if I was awake. "You're awake. It's lunchtime. Do you wanna eat? I have everything ready for you." "You seem like my mom!" "I'll take that as a compliment! But do you wanna eat?" "Sure!" It took me 30 minutes to eat. My jaws were hurting so badly. I couldn't move it. My hands were all numb. Luckily, Minwoo fed me the lunch. It was really nice. At least his hands weren't shaky like Jun Jin's. Minwoo is really nice. I complained that he was acting like I'm a sped. He didn't say anything. He just laughed. I couldn't help it but laugh with him. That day, I felt so much better. In spite of all the pain, I actually had the energy to laugh. ************************************************ That night. Minwoo didn't leave yet. It was already 8:30 PM. "Aren't you gonna leave, Minwoo?" "No.I'm gonna stay here until you fall asleep!" "Ok.whatever." For the next 30 minutes, there was an awkward silence in the room. Then I looked out the window, and there it was. "Look at the moon.I've never seen it that bright! Have you?" "No!" "It's so beautiful." "Yeah." Then I just fell asleep.It was like the moon lullabies me to sleep. Chapter 6 I was let out of the hospital last week. Minwoo helped me all the way. He even paid for the hospital. I think he just did all that because he felt guilty. Anyways. I told Minwoo that I didn't wanna go home yet. So, Minwoo brought me to the beach. He has a vacation house there. We spent, like, a week there. I had a lot of fun. Minwoo was still acting like my mom. He still asks if I'm ok, or if I need anything. It was kind of sweet of him, but I still think he's doing this because he feels guilty, or that he's afraid I'm gonna get him into trouble. Sometimes, I would walk on the breezy beach. My feet would soak into the sand. Then I would sit down on the water. I'd soak it up and go for a swim. My hands would be so pruny, I would look like an old woman. But I still loved the water. ************************************************ The next day. Like always, I'm walking on the beach. The cool air is passing through me. "Sakura!" "Huh!" That was Minwoo. He caught up to me. He started to walk along the sandy beaches with me. "Sakura." "Yea?" "Do you like it here?" "Yea! Why?" "When do you wanna go back home?" "You don't want me here?!" "No, I mean, aren't your parents gonna be worried about you?" That word (worried) really reminded me of my past that I wanted to forget. I tried not to remember! I tried not to cry. I tried not to let out my real feelings inside of me. Everyday, I would try to look like I'm a really tough person. But, inside, I'm still a weak, soft person who needs SOMEONE. Tears started to flow down my cheeks again. And, like always, Minwoo wiped it off. But this time it was different. After he wiped my tears off, he put his arms around my head and drew my head towards his shoulders. It was so comforting. I've always wanted someone to cry on, someone to tell everything about. But I didn't have to tell Minwoo anything. It's like the minute I cry, he knows what's going on right away. "Sakura." "Yea?" "You know, you have to go home, someday. You can't just run away from your problem forever. You're gonna have to face it sometime" "I don't know." Chapter 7 Today, I'm going back to my house. Minwoo was right! I have to go back and face my problem. So, today I'm going back. Minwoo helped me pack. Ring.ring.ring.Minwoo and I just stood there waiting for the door to open. We looked at each other as if we weren't gonna see each other again. I had to say something. "Are you gonna go back to Korea now? Minwoo?" "Not yet. I still have to do something before I leave." Some one opened the door. It was Minlee. She had that face again. I know that face. She's about to get me into trouble again. Minlee couldn't help it to see me with a guy or happy. She started looking at Minwoo. Her eyes rolled from top to bottom. She was staring at Minwoo and checking him out. "Who are you?" "I'm Minwoo!" "Are you another one of Sakura's boyfriend?" "I don't know." I couldn't let them talk anymore. I ease dropped on them. "Minlee! Why don't you just let us in. I'm too tired to talk!" "You're gonna have to talk with your mom about that!"
