"Wait For Me" (1/1)

~Donghae's POV~ After breathing in, I let out a happy smile... Finally... After six long years, I'm back in Mokpo!I'm gonna see my family again... I'm gonna see her again... I smiled to myself, seeing her beautiful face on my mind.For the past six years, I barely saw my family. I'll only see them when they come to visit me in Seoul. But her, never did I had contact with her in that six years. Even a single "hello", I haven't heard from her, and she hadn't heard from me. But as I promised her, here I am, coming back for her.. Still having her in my heart... I don't know if she kept her promise... I don't know if she waited for me... But... I still love her... And here I am to prove that to her... I know that after this, I'm gonna leave her again to go back to Seoul. But at least, I came back for her. I rode a cab to go to my family's house and as I arrived, no one was there, probably still at their jobs. Good thing I have a key. But, I can't deny the fact that I feel disappointed and sad to see nobody around... Well, they didn't know that I'll be coming home today..I went upstairs to go to my room and put my things there.. As I entered my room, my lips crept up into a smile... I missed this... I approached my bed and sat at it. "It didn't change..." I mumbled. Didn't they touch my room? Maybe they did... Its not dusty.. But nothing really changed. It still looked the same as how it looked when I left. Looking around my room, a picture resting on my table caught my eye. I stood up from my bed and approached it. I took it and stared at it.. I smiled and touched the face of the smiling girl on the picture... Choi Kyung Mi... The girl I love the most... ~FLASHBACK~ "Yah..." I called her.. She seems to be not in herself today. She looked at me, going back to reality."Are you okay?" I asked, worried. She nodded and I sighed. "Why are you like that? Its our 100th Day.. We're supposed to be happy and celebrating.." Now, its her turn to let out a sigh. She sadly looked at my present for her. "Don't you like it?" I asked."No... I mean yes.. I mean... Of course I like it.. I love it.. But, me.... Your gift... I..." she sighed again. "Is it because you don't have a gift for me?" I asked and she nodded in response, still frowning. I smiled and softly patted her head. "You know its okay.." "No.. Its not okay.. Because I forgot that today is our 100th Day.." she confessed and looked down on her hands, maybe feeling ashamed. "Its really okay... Kyung Mi-yah.." I held her chin and made her look up at me... "Give me a gift.. I want your smile..""H-huh?""Your smile will be enough.. I don't care if you forgot, just celebrate it with me today... I don't care if you don't have a present.. Just smile.. That will be a nice gift from you.." she smiled at what I said. "Okay.." she mumbled and let out an eyesmile. Seeing her smile made me smile.. I really love her smile.I ruffled her hair then hugged her. "Thank you, Donghae.." ~END OF FLASHBACK~ I decided to go see her already since my family isn't home yet. I just walked to her house since it's just nearby. I looked around Mokpo as I made my way to her house.. I missed this place.. So many good memories.. I smiled to myself remembering the memories I had with Kyung Mi.. The day I first met her.. I'll never forget that. She was a timid girl.. I really don't like timid girls. But when she smiled at me, it felt like I saw an angel.. Really... Until we got closer and closer.. I found out that she wasn't really a shy girl.. Only at first.. But she really is kind and soft-hearted... Which made me fall for her.. I took a deep breath as I arrived in front of their house.. I'm so excited to see her.. I smiled and went near their door. I raised my hand and was just about to knock when the door flew open, revealing Kyung Mi's mom. "Omonim.." I greeted and bowed, to show respect. It was obvious that she was surprised to see me.."Omo.. Donghae-yah!" she exclaimed and hugged me. I hugged back, smiling at her reaction. "How have you been?" she asked after breaking the hug."I'm fine omonim.. The training was very tiring but I managed.." I answered with a smile. "How 'bout you omonim?" "Well...  I guess I'm fine.. But its really lonely.." I stared at her."Lonely? Isn't Kyung Mi living with you?" She didn't answer, but instead, she frowned. But immediately let out a small smile. "Where is she?" I asked."Let me take you somewhere.." she said and closed the door behind her.We walked to somewhere. I don't really know where we're going.. We just walked in silence. "Where are we going omonim? Where's Kyung Mi?" I asked, breaking the silence,"You'll find out.." she simply answered, and after that, silence followed. After walking for not longer than ten minutes, We arrived somewhere.. We arrived in... in a.. cemetery....? Are we going to visit Kyung Mi's father? Instead of asking omonim, I just stayed silent and followed her. She stopped on her tracks and put the flower she was holding on the grave stone. I stared at her as she kept silent, staring at the grave stone.. I turned my eyes to the grave stone and looked at intently. Slowly, I read the name written in it.. My heart dropped... My world stopped... My eyes widened... My breathing paused...  I opened my mouth to speak... but nothing came out.. I slowly shook my head, not believing what I read, as tears formed in my eyes.. Ch-choi Kyung Mi... Did I read it right? N-no.. This can't be... "O-omonim... What... w-what's this?" I asked, still got my eyes stock on the name written on the stone. "My daughter... Kyung Mi,.. She had left us already." she sadly said. My heart broke into pieces... No way.... NO.. "Today's her First Death Anniversary.. She died a year ago.." she continued.. I fell on my knees, not able to take this pain anymore... One by one, the tears fell from my eyes. "Wh-why?"Why did she die?? What's the reason?? She's supposed to wait for me! "She's sick... Heart disease.. One night, when I arrived home, I saw her on her room, lying on the floor, lifeless.." I broke down... I started sobbing.. Why didn't I know? Why did nobody tell me?! WHY??!! I was supposed to be there for her! Omonim kneeled beside me, handing me something.. I took it and saw that it was a picture... A picture of us...I stared at her face.. I stared at her smile... I looked at how happy we were before... What happened now? I wish I didn't leave... I really wish that I didn't... I wasn't there when she needed me to be by her side... I wasn't... "Look at the back.." Omonim said, and I did so.. On the back of the photo, there's a short letter written, probably by her.. 'Lee Donghae... Mianada... Jeongmal Saranghaeyo...' "I think she wrote it just before she died.. The way I saw her told me so.." I bit my lower lip, staring at the message... 'Mianada...' Why? Why is she sorry? Is she sorry because she's not able to wait for me anymore? Is that it?? I cried harder, and screamed my heart out... "Kyung Mi...." I called... "KYUNG MI-YAH!!! I'M HERE ALREADY!!! I KEPT MY PROMISE!! KYUNG MI-YAH!!!!" I screamed as omonim hugged me, trying to comfort me... But no, nothing can make me feel better right now... I'm broken.. The girl I love.. Choi Kyung Mi... She died without me knowing... She suffered without me being there for her...  Kyung Mi-yah..... Where are you? ~~ One... Two... Three... I counted on my mind as I watched her tap her foot on the ground.. She always does that when she's sad. Four... Five... Six... I sighed.. "Kyung Mi-yah.. I'm really sorry.." I apologized, looking at her sadlly. "Why are you sorry? Its really okay Donghae... I just.. I just can't stop being sad.." I held her chin and lift her face up, making her look at me... "Please... smile.." she shook her head."I can't.." she mumbled and bit her lower lip. I sighed and hugged her tightly. "You know I'll miss you.." I whispered as I caressed her hair. I felt her hand on my back. "Don't forget me, please.." she said, making me break the hug."Of course I won't..." I said and raised my right hand. "I, Lee Donghae, promises to love Choi Kyung Mi forever and never ever forget her. I promise that I'll be coming back for her, to prove my love for her." she smiled at my pledge. She raised her right hand, imitating me, "I, Choi Kyung Mi, promises to love Lee Donghae forever and never ever forget him. I promise to wait for him until he comes back for me.. And that is to prove my love for him.." and this time, its my turn to smile at what she said. "Come here..." I said and hugged her again. I really love this girl... I believe her, and I won't break my promise to her. After a while, I broke the hug... "I have to go now.." I said and let out a sad smile. She frowned.. I ruffled her hair and leaned forward to her. I placed a kiss on her lips.. I kissed her as she kissed back.. Our first kiss... "Saranghae..." We both mumbled after we broke the kiss. "Nan gidaryeo..." I uttered. "Gidarilge..." she replied and with that, I left... ~~ "I'll wait.." Those were the last words she told me... But, she didn't make it... Kyung Mi-yah... I know you still wanted to wait for me... I'm sorry for making you wait for so long... I'm really sorry...  Being apart from you.... I thought it was just going to be a short while.. But no... It became a long forever.. And it breaks my heart.. Kyung Mi-yah... Wherever you are... Wait for me... -END- -- That's it! ^^ Thanks for reading.. :D Sorry for the typos and wrong grammars if there are any.. Hope u like it!
