"What?! Am I dreaming right now?" I asked. "Baekhyun pinch me. Please." He pinched me hard.
"OUCH! I never said pinch me hard." I spank him in the back.
"Where is her father right now sir?" Baekhyun asked the Chief Policeman.
"He's in the Seoul xxxxxx right now, Mr. Byun" the Chief said. I was crying. I wanted to meet him and see his face one last time. I cried and cried on Baekhyun's shoulder. He was making calls with the other guys and asking for their help. When he was done, there were cars coming to my house. I saw all of them coming out of their cars wearing black and white suits. They were all so handsome that I forgot that I was crying so badly. I stood up and greeted them.
"He... Hello... Eve... Every...one..." I say shivering.
"Cho Rin~ah, please stop crying, I hate girls crying. It hurts me." Sehun said. I just cried more.
"You should change Cho Rin." somebody in my back said. I turn around. Luhan looking handsome as always. I nodded and went inside my house. While climbing the stairs and walking in the hallway to my room, I see the pictures of my Umma and Appa together. There is also a picture of me and my Appa. I cried and sat down below the photo of me and my Appa and cried. When I finally regained my strength, I stood up and went inside my room. When I entered, I saw my assignment papers scattered on the floor. I pick them up and looked for a paper clip. I looked around again and saw three more papers on the floor. I walk to it and grabbed one. When I grabbed the second one, I touched a hand. I looked up and saw Chanyeol. He smiled. I smiled back.
"What are you doing here Chanyeol?" I asked.
"You took so long so the guys were worried. I volunteered to go here." he replied. I nodded.
"I need to change so may you please go out?" I asked him kindly. He nodded and departed outside. I close and locked the door. I sank down on the door and cried. after weeping for ten minutes, I stood up and opened my closet. I scan through my clothes and pick out the white dress my Umma gave me before she left me and Dad. I got my dress out and wore it. I tied the ribbon and got a black sweater to go on top of it to look like a top with a skirt. I got a bag and placed my things inside and brought my book for studying. I got a har tie and placed it on my right wrist. I went out with my things and went down the stairs. When I went down, I saw the boys situated in the couches and Xiumin on the chair talking softly. When they heard my steps, they stood up and smiled at me.
"Cho Rin~ah, do you want to go with me to the funeral parlor?" Suho asked. I looked at the others and they didn't say anything so I just nodded. They all went their ways to their cars and I go with Suho to his car.
"Suho, thank you for volunteering to go with me." I smiled and he nodded.
"Cho Rin~ah, don't be sad okay? Your dad is now happy to be in heaven and is watching over you okay?" he said and looked at me with a worried look. I nodded and leaned over the window. The view outside was so beautiful when I realized we arrived. It only took a 15 minute drive to the funeral parlor. Me and Suho got out of the car and went inside the funeral parlor. When I saw the coffin, I ran to it and saw my Appa's face. I cried so hard when somebody patted me at my back. I looked up and saw it was Dyo.
"Stop crying Cho Rin~ah." he said. "Sit for a while." I nodded and went to the nearest seat possible. I sat down and got my hanker chief and cried more. Dyo patted on my back and slowly, I stop crying.
"Dyo, where are the others?" I asked.
"Oh, they are in the nearest Bubble Tea shop since Sehun was thirsty." he said.
"You?"
"Just stayed here so you won't feel lonely." he smiled. I smiled back. We just sat there silent when the other boys came.
"Hey Dyo." Kris said. "Hey Cho Rin~ah" he smiled. I thought he hated me?
"Hi Kris." I say. "Does anyone of you have water?" I asked to all of them. After 1.47 seconds, Chen and Chanyeol gave me bottles of water and the guys were chuckling.
"Thank you Chen and Chanyeol." I smiled and got one from each of their arms. I drank the first bottle in two gulps and the second one with three gulps. When I looked at them, they were staring at me like I was a monster.
"YAH! Stop it! You guys are creeping me out." When I said that, they looked away and went to the nearest seat they find. I was there reading my textbook and the boys were playing with the phones.
"Cho Rin~ah?" Somebody called. It wasn't one of the boys voice. It was a girl's voice. I turned around to see Umma and a young boy.
"Umma?"
"Yes, it's me, dear." my mom said. I went nearer her and she did, too. When we were close enough, we hugged and cried on our shoulders.
"I'm so sorry Cho Rin~ah."
"I'm so sorry Umma." We parted and sat down.
"Who are these young lads?" Umma asked. They stood up right away and did a greeting together. They introduced theirselves and sat down.
"I don't need to explain more now." I smiled. She laughed. "Umma, who's this cute guy?" I asked.
"He's your brother Cho Rin~ah." she said.
"My brother?"
"Before I left, I didn't know I was pregnant. So when I went, I felt I had like a morning sickness. So I stayed in your Aunt Sha Lee's home until I gave birth to your brother." she explained. I nodded. "Hong Min, say hi to your sister." Umma said.
"Hi Noona! I'm Lim Hong Min. Call me Homin. Where's Appa?" he asked.
"Homin, he's there." my Umma pointed at the coffin. They both went near it and Umma carried Homin to her arms. "There's your father." she said.
"Why is he there? Why is he closing his eyes, Umma." he asked.
"You'll know when you will begin to grow up."
"Umma, just tell him." I argue.
"No Cho Rin." she said firmly. She gave me the meanest glare she had and I shiver.
"Fine." I put my hands up in surrender. I walked to my chair when someone poked me at my back. I turned around and saw Tao with his big death glare.
"We're going somewhere loser. Don't look for us." he said with a hoarse voice. He walked out and joined Kris in his car. I just rolled my eyes and sat down.
"Homin, sit with your Noona." My Umma said. Homin nodded and sat on the seat beside me.
"Hi Noona! How are you?" Homin said.
"I'm fine. How old are you already, Homin~ah?" I asked.
"Six noona." I smiled. I never experienced having a younger cousin beside me, but now a real brother. Umma started calling me.
"Cho Rin~ah." she called. I stood up and walked to her. She started crying and I got my hanker chief from my pocket. I gave it to her and starts sobbing on it.
"I'm so sorry Cho Rin~ah for leaving you. I regret doing that. You and your dad suffered because of me." she mumbled her words. I pat her in the back and say it's okay. Umma and I went and sat down on the chairs. When we reached to the seats, Homin was already fast asleep and snoring loudly. Me and Umma talked the whole afternoon when we realized it was already 5:45 p.m. Homin at that time woke up and was asking both of us for food.
"Umma, you just go eat first, I'll stay here and study." I said and smiled.
"How about you, what will you eat?" she asked
"Mrs. Lim we brought food for her." someone said. We three turned around and saw Dyo and Baekhyun with a lunchbox in their hands. They smiled at me and I did the same.
"Okay then, we'll go ahead Cho rin~ah, see you tomorrow." Umma said.
"Do you have a place to sleep in?" I asked. She nodded and carried Homin on her arms.
"Bye Noona! Bye Hyungs!" he said to me, Baekhyun and Dyo. We smiled together and waved them both goodbye. They headed out and I was stuck with these two lads.
"Cho Rin~ah, we have some Kimchi Spaghetti for you!" Baekhyun exclaimed. I smiled and got the lunchbox they prepared for me.
"Dig in, Cho Rin~ah." Dyo said. I nodded and ate the Spaghetti. I didn't savor it like the last time maybe because it wasn't a nice day for me. I finish my spaghetti and went to the comfort room to wash the lunch packs. When I finished, I went out to see the rest of the boys there. They were playing with their phones so they didn't notice me going out. I tiptoed out and grabbed my book and sat down quietly. When I sat down, in made a small creaking noise that made them all look at my way. I smile a not so nice smile so they chuckled. I rolled my eyes and went back to reading my book. I read it for like thirty minutes when I start to get sleepy.
"I need to go home now. It's like." I look at my watch to see it's already 9:56. "It's like 9:56 now. We still have school tomorrow." I say and they nodded.
"I'll take you home." Chen, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Dyo, and Suho offered.
"You already brought her here hyung, your out." Chen said. Suho pouted like a cute puppy dog and I giggled.
"Choose from the four of us." Baekhyun said.
"Since Baekhyun brought me home and Dyo make me food. It's now either The Two C's." I say. Baekhyun and Dyo looked like they had bullets in their head. So Chen and Chanyeol were laughing.
"Tonight, I'll choose Chen. Sorry Chanyeol." I say. Chen yelled his victory shout.
"SHHHHH!" we all shouted.
"Yah, sorry." he said in a whisper voice. We all laughed. Before we departed, I went to the altar and prayed. The boys followed.
"Why Appa, did you die so soon. I wish you were still with me here and met all my new friends who cared for me. Well not all. I wish you were here now to see how happ ymy life is right now. I wish I saw you alive one last time so that I could have hugged you, kissed you, and say my last words to you. I wish I was with you and I wish I never had this accident so that I could meet you. Appa, Umma visited you and apologized to both of us. You have a child and you didn't even meet him. I wish that you may rest in peace and that you will guide me, guard me and always support me. I love you so much Appa. I miss you so much." I say an start to cry. Chen gave me his hanker chief and I wiped my tears on them.
"Let's go Cho Rin~ah?" he said. I nodded and we departed. Why Appa. Why. I thought. I started to cry while going in Chen's car.
