Yoo ma’s POV......

It was that very moment that I regretted everything I have done, I lost my one true friend because of my childishness. A year already passed but I couldn’t forget about her, how she asked for my help, how she cried, how she suffered.

“Yoo ma, wake up. You’re gonna be late for school.” I heard my dad’s voice downstairs, snapping me from my trance.

I stood up from my bed, leaning over my dresser, I looked closely at my reflection in the mirror. Seeing that my eyes were dead inside, I looked away and began preparing for school.

“Dad, I baked cupcakes for you and your coworkers, its in the fridge.” I said as I walk pass them and went through the front door.

“Ah thanks, I’ll make sure to give it to them!” I heard him yell from inside, and I continued walking without stopping.

I can see some students that were also on their way to school, but I turned around and walked to the other direction, plucking a white rose from someone else’s garden as I walk pass it and soon reached the cemetery.

I searched for her, and saw the words Park Young Ji engraved on the stone. Placing the white rose on top of it, I stood quietly.

“Sorry.” I mumbled, closing my eyes before walking away.

For some unfortunate events, I happen to be in the same class with those people who made fun of Young Ji. Fei, Irene, Joon and everyone else. It’s like God is trying to see what I would do to them, but I am too self centered to even waste a breath to speak to those people.

As I entered the familiar classroom, their chaotic and noisy scenario never change. They were all talking to their own circle of friends, others were teasing someone who happens to be their new target and some were even plotting to pour a bucket of water on the teacher today.

“How foolish…” I said under my breath as I calmly walk through them and head for my seat.

I sat quietly, putting my bag under the desk and pulling out the textbook I’ve been reading. Flipping through the pages, I tried to block out all the noises they’re making and was about to read the paragraphs in the book but someone yelled, taking my attention.

“Oh! That’s right! It’s Young ji’s Death Day!” Fei reminded everyone, clapping her hands as she look around trying to see their reactions but everyone looked clueless at her statement.

“Young Ji?”

“Who’s that?”

“Never heard of her.”

Everyone was showering Fei with questions, they seriously forgot about her. I predicted that already, but why do I feel like they’re disrespecting her.

“Gosh! You forgot? She’s the one who miserably took away her life in the restroom. How idiotic of her.” She answered, giggling and everyone remembered her.

“Oh yeah! I remember now, she’s one of my ex girlfriends” Joon interjected, snapping his fingers at the memory he had with Young Ji.

Seriously, I’m pissed right now. This pathetic people should shut their mouth.

“Can you all please quiet down? I’m trying to read here.” I abruptly stood up from my seat and yelled in a somewhat harsh tone.

“Ah, I remembered that you were her bestfriend.” Hye mi butted in, staring at me with eyes like she’s evaluating my whole appearance. “The bestfriend who didn’t try to help her.” She added, even making me angrier…….
