7 years ago…
"Lukas!"
A teenager, with his jet black hair. And gray eyes. Wearing a black shirt. His hand waving, right at another person.
"Over here!"
The other teenager, wearing a white shirt. His dark-brownish hair, flowing through the air. Slowly approaching the other teenager.
"I'm not too late right, Jerry?"
Lukas looked at the other teenager.
"Not at all. Let's go you punk!"
Jerry wrapped his arm around Lukas's shoulder, his smile shone brightly. As they both walked together, side by side.
"Ahjussi… the other person is…"
Na-Hee's eyes twitched, looking right at me. Her expression changed. As if she was in disbelief.
"Don't worry about that. It's all in the past."
I let out a slight smile, Looking at her expression. I looked at the ceiling. If only, i can rewind time back then… i let out a sigh.
Back then, i was fully aware. My friendship with Jerry, was slowly cracking apart. I was slowly being left out. It was during when we became high schoolers.
When we first entered high school. We were still close back then.
"Hey Lukas, let's hang out!"
"Sorry man, still gotta take care of my sister at home."
"Oh i see. Well, see you tommorow then."
"You too man."
But as time goes by, I began to notice his behavior changing. The way he talk to me, the way he act with me. He looked no longer like the Jerry i knew.
"Lukas! You're free right? How about come with us to the club?"
"Lukas, don't you want to smoke, it's really good man."
"My man, can I borrow some money? I really need it. Help a buddy yeah?"
As his behavior slowly change, I started to feel the distance between us. At that point, our relationship slowly changing. And he started harrasing me.
Ordering me on what to do, calling me with a curse words. He did that everyday, while i was in high school. I held it in, hoping one day he will stop doing this. Hoping he will change back to what he used to be.
And finally, one day. I snapped, My patience ran out.
"Oi, fucker, give me your money. I need to use it for something today."
I could feel the slap of his hand on my back.
"I… Don't have money."
"What was that?"
He held my face.
"I don't have money."
"You fuckers. Bring me my money after school. You're dead if you don't bring it."
He let go of my head and turned around. Yeah, I can't no longer hold it in. I opened my bag and grabbed a cutter within. I ran toward him. Jerry quickly fell to the ground.
"Oi! What are you doing, you fuckers?!"
I looked at him with. The patience that i held finally exploded.
"Fucker this, fucker that. Fuck yourself."
I carved his mouth straight with my cutter. As he screamed in pain. His mouth slowly bleeding. I threw my cutter to the side. I punched his face several times. His friend quickly tried to get me off him.
After that i got expelled from my school. I decided to lock myself inside my room. My parent were furious. Their shouting voice crept through my ear, everyday. Eventually they got tired of it.
Now, I only got one person left by my side.
"Brother, you okay?"
"i'm fine… Adelia."
My sister, the only one who supported me through all of this. I was so sure she would hate me. I mean if her friend knew about what i had done.
Wouldn't she have no friend? Wouldn't they distanced themselves from her? That's what i thought.
"Hate you? How can i possibly do that? You always supported me ever since we were child. Believe in your sister more will you?"
Ah… I see.
3 years passed by…
Eventually, 3 years passed by. I was already 20 years old now. Ever since that incident, i just stayed on my room, doing streaming.
"Brother, i'm going out. Food's on the table if you're hungry." Adelia said. " if there's anything call me.
I didn't answer her, since i was still streaming at that time. After some time i ended my stream. I left my room, i sat on the dining table and ate the food.
After eating the food, i went back to my room. Turned on my pc, and played some games on it. After a while, i looked at the clock with in my room. It was already late.
I went out of my room and checked on Adelia's room.
"She hasn't come home?"
She usually wouldn't stay out till this late.
'Maybe she is still having fun with her friend.'
I had that thought within my mind. I went back to my room and went to sleep.
Morning came, i woke up. I quickly took a bath and get dressed up. I was about to start my daily stream, until i got a call.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mr, Lukas Weiss?"
Who's this?
"Yes, who is this?" I asked.
"Mr. Lukas Weiss, i'm really sorry."
Hold on, what's happening? Why is he apologizing now?
"Your sister. Adelia Weiss have passed away."
I stood still. I instinctively dropped my phone. My hands were shaking. As tears streamed down from my face.
Adelia, passed away? No, that can't be true… she was just hanging out with her friend right?
My thoughts were in shamble. I couldn't accept the truth.
'I… haven't even… said anything to her…'
I fell on my knees. Sobbing on the ground.
'I should've talked with her more, i should've… answered her back then.'
Ring!
My phone rang once again. I picked it up. It was a message from unknown number. I widened my eyes, seeing the message on the screen.
[How was it, my man?]
Under the message, was a picture. I looked at it. I was enraged, i screamed looking at that picture. Another message popped up.
[This is my gift to you… :)]
"And that's the story of a really pathetic person."
I looked at Lee Na-Hee. Her expression looks like she was about to burst tears out of her eyes.
"Ahjussi…"
"But anyway, that pathetic person eventually reached his goal."
I smiled and looked at her.
She was about to say something, until she decided to close her mouth. Her eye flickering left to right.
"You should rest now, good night."
After a while, Lee Na-Hee had fallen asleep. I smiled and turned my body to the campfire. The voice of fire's crackling hummed in my ear. As i was thinking something.
Yeah, i had finished my goals. I had avenged Adelia, and yet… even after all that. I clenched my fist and placed it upon my left chest.
'Why does my heart still feel empty?'
I stood up and walked to the cave's wall. I sat down, leaning to the cave's wall. I closed my eyes and quickly, went to the land of dreams.
