[1]Phantasm (1/1)

YOUR P.O.V.Hi! I am HyeRyung, and I’m 16 years old this year! My life is like a sweet and bitter fairytale. I’m born in a rich family; I always get things my way. My parents are always busy, but will always find time to spend with me. As a single child, everyone treats me like a princess. But, I prefer to lead a humble lifestyle rather than a materialistic one. I love my life, as everything is so perfect till the point that I thought it would never end. Life in school is even better, everyone treats me well especially, my friend/crush, Suho. He is a good friend and a brother to me but I always harbor hope that we can be more than just friends. If you get what I mean. He will always stand up for me whenever I’m bullied by other kids that were jealous of me. I remembered once when I flunked my mid-year maths exam. I was always acing in all subjects and this was a major setback. I was really depressed at that moment. I was afraid that my parents would be disappointed with my terrible results. He noticed my puffy eyes and comforted me with his soothing words, which ease the fear I had. I went back home crestfallen, and I showed my parents my exam papers. They were obviously extremely disappointed and expected more from me. This also made it into the list of why I love him. One day, my entire family to Paris for a vacation. I didn’t followed them as I went to America for an Immersion trip with my schoolmates and teachers. I had lots of fun and created lots of happy memories there.  But soon I had to return back to Korea. As soon as I opened the door, hoping to be greeted by my bubbly parents, a twist happened instead. It was a nightmare. The sight of my butler and maids sobbing and weeping greeted me. I was in extreme shock.  My butler then came up to me and explained. My maids were whispering some incoherent words. My parents were involved in a car accident in Paris. And the most drastic thing- they did not make it. I couldn’t take everything at once and when realization hit me, I immediately feel on my knees and started wailing. I couldn’t believe what I heard.  I needed someone to talk to and comfort me. My legs immediately reacted, running towards suho oppa’s house. It was like an adrenaline rush gushing throughout my body. My butler instantly shouted out for me, but I told him I would alright. People obviously gave me the looks. I looked like a mad woman that has ran out of they asylum. But I couldnt care less, I needed Suho oppa's comfort and his warmth. I want to be embraced by him during my weakest point. Memories filled my head with every step I took. Memories of me when I was younger, when I was playing with my parents, gligging at the slightest things. Soon, I reached Suho oppa's house. His car was outside, indicating he just reached home after sending me back. I took dainty steps while approaching his door. There was a pair of heels, but Suho oppa lives alone. That puzzled me. I hesitated for a moment. Still, I braved a step forward and i was greeted by a familiar waft of scent. It felt so comfortable. I slowly placed my hand on the door knob and gently twist it. Till, a horredous sight appeared in my face. Yes, right infront of my face. Some things just don't last I guess.Suho was kissing a girl. Seems more like they were ravishing each other. I felt my heart crumble into a million pieces. Tears trickling, knees wobbling. I stood rooted to the ground. My world has just fall apart. I've lost my parents and my crush is making out in front of me. Suho and the girl, continued to do their little thing, oblivious. I gulped down my saliva nervously and attempted to walk out of the room before he notices my presence. As much as I want to take a second look, my head denied it, but my heart was urging for it. "HyeRyung?" Suho asks breathlessly.I immediately ran out of the house and slipped on my shoes as tears fell down my hot cheeks. I couldn't face him anymore. My impression of him changed. But again, it isn't his fault. He has the decision of choosing whom to love. But still, I wanted him to love me only. Not as a sister but rather a woman. I ended up in front of an ice cream store. Memories of my parents, Suho I started to flow in.-5 years ago-"HyeRyung! Come here! Let's cut the ice-cream cake before it melts!" My mom called out for me while grinning from ear to ear.I gradually made my way towards the cake. We sang my birthday song whilst clapping. It was one of my best birthdays as Suho was there. He was beside me, smiling, revealing his perfect eye smiles. My heart fluttered. "Let's cut your cake and start to open your presents!" My dad announced.My mom sliced the cake for each of us. My dad handed me the present, which he and mom got for me. I was awe struck by its size. It was humongous. I started unwrapping as Suho sat beside me, equally curious of its content. It was a two story Barbie house. I hugged my parents in glee. I loved it! Next was Suho. He was awkwardly scratching the back of his neck with a weird façade.“What’s wrong Suho Oppa?” I asked chuckling.He ended up smiling again “Nothing… Its just that.. My present isn’t as grand as your parents… Sorry! Oppa will buy something bigger and nicer for you next time, I promise” he took out his pinky and he promised me. I was blessed. I felt very happy.-Flashback over-My heart ached once more. Thinking about my parents. I love them. Losing them is as good as having part of me dead. I decided to take the next flight the next day to Hawaii.I gradually made my way into the store and ordered a cup of mint-flavored ice cream. They were my favorite. Not to sweet and a hint of mint to compliment the whole taste. I took out my phone to inform my butler about my decision. Instead, I found a ton of missed call and texts from Suho. That totally spoilt my mood. I immediately got up from my seat and walked home to pack my luggage for the flight.Still, deep down, I do not want to believe this. I hoped for this to be some Shenanigan planned by my parents to fright me. It’d be better if all this were fake. An illusion.
