Unspoken Sarang

Chapter 7: How to Stop Love?

Slowly, Donghae oppa’s face became visible in my mind.

I can hear his voice so cold echoing in my ears and his smile.

I opened my eyes and he’s not there.

Then I remember that small box he gave me. I wonder what’s inside, but I can’t open it.

I can’t open it because I feel like I betrayed him.

That gift is for his dongsaeng, his used-to-be little sister, Yoona and not this Yoona who’s falling for him. I love him in secrecy. I will only open that box when time came when this feeling I have for him will fade.

But, when will it be?

I can’t make this feeling stop just like that. I wish I could turn back the time.

I regret joining the choir, I regret the time when I became close to him. I regret every song we sang together. But even though I regret those things, I did not regret that time I know him – which he came into my life.

May my letter can show my love for him; may reach him. I know I can’t open that small box anymore. I can only open it when I will be reborn and will forget this feeling I have for him. It is my fault for falling for him. There’s only one solution to make my love for him, not to grow deeply inside me.

This night will be a memorable day for me to stop this love I have. I know loving is not a sin but betraying someone because of love isn’t love at all. I am already selfish. As I close my eyes, I want Donghae oppa’s face to appear in my mind, to be my guide, to be my light…

Red lights flickered and the sound of sirens echoed outside the dormitory that night. The dormitorians were in rage and so much shocked of the scenery.
