▪︎《MY PURPOSE 》▪︎

You know…

~

Everyone comes to this world for a reason..

~

Yes..

~

Every second of every minute a person is brought to this world..

~

And that person has been born for a reason..

~

At least that’s what they tell you..

~

“Don’t worry.. I’m pretty sure you’ll figure it out someday..” was what my mom always used to say to me..

~

And she still does..

~

But what if I don’t?

~

What if I don’t get to discover my purpose?

~

What if I’m too late?

~

Sarang opened her eyes as her mind was being sucked by all of these thoughts..

~

Exhaling a deep breath, she managed to get out of bed..

~

Without her mother’s help this time..

~

One step at a time she got herself to exit the room and make her way to the kitchen..

~

“ Sweetie!! I told you to call me when you want to get up!” , her mother said to her making her way near her..

~

“I’m not a child mom..” , Sarang answered back at her calmly..

~

“ What if you..” , she tried to say, but was cut of by her daughter’s words..

~

“I won’t..” , she said bluntly..

~

“ Okay then.. How about some breakfast..? “, she asked kindly..

~

“ I’m not hungry..”

~

“ But you have to eat something! “ , her mother argued..

~

“ I don’t want to..” , she said once again..

~

“ Sarangah… Please eat something.. Even if it’s that much.. You need to put food in your system, otherwise..”, she was cut off once again..

~

“ Otherwise what?”, she answered fiercily startling her mom..

~

“ I’m dying anyways..”

~

" Sarangah.. Sweetie please don’t say that.. The doctor said…”

~

”  I want to go out..” , Sarang said looking into her eyes..

~

“What..? “

~

“ I want to go out.. “ , she repeated her words one by one..

~

“ But honey the doctor said…”

~

“ I don’t care what the doctor said mom! “ , she said as tears threatened to escape from her eyes..

~

“ Sarangah..”

~

“ I can’t stay in here any longer! I only have some time left.. Why should I spend it being locked in between four walls? “ , she continued as her mother was faithfully listening to her..

~

“ Mom please.. I want to go out.. I- I want to feel the fresh air on my face.. I want to see the world outside of my window.. Please.. “ , she said and awaited for her mother’s response..

~

“ Okay.. Okay you can go out.. But I’m coming with you! “ , she told her daughter lighting up her face as if she was a little child who just convinced her mom to buy her the ice cream she yearned for..

~

Sometime after Sarang was fully dressed, ready to step out of her fortress for the very first time after she found out about her ilness..

~

Brain cancer..

~

Brain cancer was what she had..

[C]~

They found it in a very late state, so there was nothing they could do..

~

“ You can’t have a surgery.. It won’t work..” , she still remembers the doctor’s words as if he was telling all over again at that very moment..

~

She tried to be strong..

~

She tried to fight it..

~

But at some point things kept getting worse..

~

Up until..

~

Up until she didn’t open her eyes on morning..

~

She got lucky though..

~

The doctors got her heart beating again..

~

But after that incident she wasn’t allowed to live her house ever again..

~

And that she hated..

~

She was a girl full of passion for life and keeping her locked inside a room felt like a prison..

~

And she wasn’t wrong..

~

Even your own home, your own room can become your most fearsome prison..

~

But now..

~

She was finally free..

~

Grabbing her mother by her arm, they left the house..

~

“ So where do you want to go? “ , her mom asked her..

~

“ Anywhere.. Everywhere.. “ , she answered..

~

She didn’t have a specific place in mind..

~

Even a walk on the street would be fine..

~

So they walked and walked and walked until their legs could no longer stand..

~

“ Mom? “

~

“ Hmm?”

~

“ Can you go now? “

~

“What? “

~

“ Please.. I want to be left alone.. Just for a little bit.. I promise I’ll be home before midnight..” , she begged her mother..

~

“ Okay sweetie.. But please! Be careful! “ , her mother said and made her way towards home..

~

She was walking near the Han river, when her body could no longer move..

~

She sat down for a little bit..

~

Just for a little bit..

~

Gazing through the night over at the river, she couldn’t help but think..

~

She still didn’t get to find her purpose..

~

They say that if you find yours, your life is full..

~

But she didn’t find hers yet..

~

So maybe..

~

That was an excuse..

~

An excuse to live a little longer..

~

“ I WANT TO FIND MY PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD “, she screamed through her lungs..

~

“ So let me live..” , she said with no voice..

~

“ I haven’t found mine either..”, a voice came from near her..

~

“ I still haven’t found my purpose on this world either..” , a tall guy with black hair said as he sat down next to her..

~

“ That’s sad..” , Sarang answered sadly, but somehow felt relieved by his words..

~

She wasn’t the only one..

~

“ I’m Seunghwa..” , said the boy looking into her eyes smiling..

~

“ I’m Sarang..” , asnwered the girl staring back to him..

~

From this moment and on, this goes on as all the typical love stories do..

~

The boy falls in love with the girl..

~

The girl falls inlove with the boy..

~

They tell each other everything about themeselves..

[C]~

From what colour they like to their most dreadfull desires..

~

They find their happiness together and they live happily ever after..

~

But there is no happily ever after in this story..

~

Because Sarang forgot to tell him the most importand thing..

~

That she wasn’t going to be with him till the end..

~

That she would leave him mid way..

~

One evening..

~

One frightful evening..

~

Seunghwa woke up having this weird feeling on his chest..

~

Like someone was tearing his heart apart..

~

Deciding to ignore it, he got up from bed and went on to get ready..

[C]~

Sarang was waiting for him..

~

“ Hey.. “ , he whispered calmly into her ear as he hugged her from behind..

~

“ Sorry I’m late..” , he continued..

~

“ At least you’re here.. “ , she answered back smiling..

~

“ Come on! Let’s go! “ , he said excitedly grabbing by her hand..

~

“ Where are we going? “

~

“ You’ll see..” , he said smiling..

~

As the night laid its veil upon the now darkened sky, Sarang found herself in front of the mosth wonderful sight she had ever seen..

~

All around her laid thousands of rose petals accompanied by lighted candles which showed the way to a beautiful tent..

~

“ This.. It’s amazing.. “ , Sarang lost her  words..

~

“ I wanted it to be beautiful.. Like you.. “ , he said looking for her face..

~

Taking her hand into his, he calmly brought her face close to his..

~

Looking in each others eyes, they finally knew that now..

~

They could be one..

~

Seunghwa softly embraced her lips into his..

~

Trying not to rush things, he awaited for her sign of approval..

~

Sarang looked up to his face giving him the warmest smile..

~

That’s when he knew..

~

Locking his lips with hers once again, he made their way into the tent, where their lives were about to take a major turn..

~

Their bodies became one..

~

Their souls became one..

~

Such a wonderful night..

~

Right?

~

The next morning Seunghwa woke up finding the space beside him empty..

~

“ Sarang? “, he called for her..

~

“ Sarang? “ , he called again stepping out from the tent..

~

A small figure could be seen kneeled down on the ground..

~

It was her..

~

“ Sarang? “ , he rushed towards her..

~

“ No.. Don’t.. I don’t you to see this.. “, she said sobbing.

~

“ What’s wrong baby? “ , Seunghwa tried to lift her up gently..

~

“ I’m sorry..” , she sobbed trying to cover the sight of vomit behind her, but failing..

~

“ B-baby are you okay? Do you need anything? “

~

“ I-I’m sorry..” , she kept repeating..

~

“ What are you sorry about.. It’s okay.. Anyone can have an upset stomach..”

~

“ No.. It’s not that.. “

~

“ What do you mean? “ , he was confused..

~

“ I’m sick.. “ , she finally managed to say..

~

“ Do you want me to drive you to the hospital? “, he asked ..

~

“ No Seunghwa.. “ , she said grabbing his hand..

~

“ I’m sick.. “ , she said once again making it more clear for him..

~

“ N-no you’re not.. You’re perfect..” , he said with his voice cracking..

~

“ I’m not perfect.. “

~

“I’m broken.. “

~

Seunghwa couldn’t process what was happenig clearly..

~

“ Why are you saying this to me? D-didn’t you like last night? Did I do something? Is it me? “ , he kept asking..

~

“ No baby.. It’s me.. I’m sick.. I have brain cancer..”

~

“ W-what…” , his heart broke..

~

“ A-and you’re telling me now? After you slept with me?

~

“ I know I shoud have told you sooner.. But I couldn’t.. You.. You were so happy.. I couldn’t.. “

~

“ H-how could you? “, he said with tears streaming down his face..

~

“ I’m sorry.. “

~

“ That’s not good enough.. “

~

Those were his last words..

~

Grabbing his things, he left..

~

Leaving her behind..

~

Everything was crashing down..

~

Why would she hide something like this..

~

Why would she made him so madly in love with her and then tear his heart apart..

~

When he got back home, he destroyed everything in his way..

~

He did everything that could ease his soul even for a little bit..

~

After some time everything went black..

~

The bazzing of his phone woke him up..

~

“ Hello? “ , he answered..

~

“ S-seunghwa.. “ , he heard a crying voice coming from the other side of the line..

~

Not minding living the house unlocked, he bursted into his car and drove..

~

Drove to her..

~

Sarang’s mother was as always by her side..

~

Caressing her daughter’s hair..

~

The sudden knocking on the door dragged her out of her thoughts..

~

Opening the door, she came upon a frightful sight..

~

“ W-where is she? “ , he asked immediately..

~

“ S-seunghwa your hands.. “ , she said taking his blood stained hands into hers..

~

“ I-is she okay? “ , he asked again, but received silence as an answer..

~

Going past her, he made his way into Sarang’s room..

~

The sight in front him made him weak..

~

Sarang with cables connecting to her nose and mouth..

~

The once cheerful Sarang, now laying half dead on an all white dressed bed..

~

“ W-why isn’t she in the hospital? She should be in the hospitale! “ , Seunghwa demanded..

~

“ There is nothing that can be done.. It’s over.. “

~

“ No.. “ ,  he fell down on his knees..

~

“ H-how.. how is this possible… “ , he asked himself covering his face with his hands..

~

“ S-seunghwa..? “ , a fragile, low voice asked making him rush to her side..

~

“ Sarangah..”

~

“My baby..” , he said kissing her hand and sobbing..

~

“ Will you do s-something f-for m-me? “ , she asked him..

~

“ Anything baby.. I’ll do anything you want me to.. “

~

“ Take me t-there.. T-to the f-first place we m-met.. “ , she begged him..

~

“ But you’re..”

~

“ Please.. “

~

“ Okay.. “ , he said kissing her hand once more..

~

Afraid not to break her, he took her lightly into his arms and took her to Han river..

~

The place they first met..

~

Carefully he sat her down, settling her in between his arms..

~

“ I’m sorry.. “ , he whispered to her..

~

“ It’s okay.. I love you..“ , she answered back, making his tears return to his eyes..

~

“ D-do you remember ? “

~

“ What baby? “ , he asked..

~

“ D-do you remember w-what I screamed that night..?”

~

“ Yes.. “ , he said holding her even tighter..

~

“ U-up until I met you, I had nothing.. “

~

“ Shh baby.. It’s okay.. “

~

“ I think.. I-I think I know now.. “ , she said and turned her weak body towards him..

~

“ Baby don’t.. Please don’t.. “

~

Caressing his cheek with her hand, she lood deep into his blurry from tears eyes..

~

“ Y-you were my purpose.. “

~

“And I lived long enough to have you..”
