24 Why Is Life So Hard? (1/2)

Tears fell from her eyes; pillows completely soaked.

Due to the excruciating pain, she couldn't even move. Yoona was physically and mentally broken.

Even within the comforts of her bed, Yoona did not feel safe. In fact, she was shaking, completely scared for her sanity. Scared of the future hards.h.i.+ps she will face. Her heart was too fragile to handle anymore pain. She was at the edge of a cliff, hanging for her life.

To think that her two most precious friends would betray her. To think all the happy memories that they shared were fake. It was absolutely heartbreaking.

As an emotional person, this situation hurt Yoona more than she wanted for it to. Like those strong female leads, she didn't want to be bothered by the pain. She wanted to be a cold and vengeful. Who would want to cry over a bunch of betrayers? But her body did not respond accordingly. It betrayed her as well.

The funny thing was, was that no matter what people said, she stuck by the Moon Siblings because she believed in them. She saw the light in their hearts. There were a few people who warned her about their friends.h.i.+p, but she always brushed it off. Everyone deserved a second chance. Some people had the ability to change.

Oh, how she learned her lesson. She was humiliated and stabbed in the back.

Yoona never skipped school, but she wanted to stay home tomorrow. Seeing the mocking expressions on the Moon sibling's faces would only hurt her further. Plus, as someone who stuck by Jaeun and Jaemin's side for three years, she knew what they were capable of. With their power, they had the ability to make her life complete h.e.l.l.

Her breathe got stuck in her throat.

Why did this always happen to her? Why was life so s.h.i.+t?

No matter how hard she tried to smile and stay positive, life always found a way to push her into a dark abyss, drowning her in desperation. Ever since she was young, she was put in these terrible situations.

It all started with her parent's divorce.

When she was born, her parents filed an immediate separation. They couldn't stand each other. In fact, Yoona had never seen them talk in a civil manner. They always screamed across the phone.

One of her youngest memories was juggling back and forth between the two houses. She always felt different. Everyone had two parents living in the same place, yet she was the only one who never seen her parents in the same room. Since Korea had a small divorce rate, there was no friends who were in similar circ.u.mstances as her. n.o.body to relate to.

When she was a toddler, her parents finally decided that she should stay at the father's house. He was the only one financially stable. The mother, using this opportunity, decided to work as a housemaid to earn money.

Despite all her troubles, Yoona continuously smiled and went through kindergarten smoothly. She tried her best to do well in academics to make father smile. When father came back late from work, she would cheer him up by reciting the songs she learned at school.

Everything started to brighten up again.

But then he died. A drunk driver took his life.

One day he was there, and the next he had disappeared. There were no goodbyes. No last smiles. No more hugs. He was gone forever.

Perhaps fate took pity on her. Shortly after her father's death, in the midst of all her sadness, she found another light source.

Minhyun. The boy she met at her mother's workplace.
