Episode 2

( Rings door bell)

' Who's at the door?' a voice came from inside.

A lady opened the door. I thought it'd be her but....

' Who are you? ' she asked me politely.

' I...Hello , I'm Kang Yu Jin. I'm from Seoul. I'm here to meet Choi Eun Joo. Does she lives here? ' I replied.

' You're Eun joo's School friend, right? Please come in. I'm her aunt.' she said.

'This way. Sit here. Would you like to have some tea? ' she asked.

' No thanks...I'm here to meet Eun Joo. actually today was our reunion. she didn't came. Is she alright? ' I asked.

This was my first time at her home. Back then she used to live in Seoul. Also I wasn't that close to her to ask her these things.

' Don't you know about her?' she asked.

' What bout her? What are you talkin bout ? Please tell me clearly.' I asked.

' She is no more around us. I'm glad that you still remember her. But I'm...s..sor..ry .' she said while sobbing.

I can't believe....she is dead. I completely shocked after hearing this. I don't want to believe this. I wish it was a dream. The girl I loved for so long is dead now. I freezed at that time. It was impossible for me to believe this. The girl who always used to smile, who was a lively person, How could she die?

' What!!! This isn't true,right? ' I asked her.

' This is true. She died 9 years ago in an accident. she said while crying.

On the way back to Seoul I kept thinking about it.

I stopped my car in the middle of the way and started crying loudly. I was getting very angry with myself. I couldn't save you. I'm sorry...I couldn't understand your pain.

I almost cried for whole night. I didn't sleep. I didn't eat. Next day I visited her grave with my friends.

Everyone was shocked about her death. It seems like a bad dream. And I wanna wake up.  We all drink for almost whole day.

At night I came back to home. But I was curious about your death. So I decided to go back to Busan to find out the reason why you died.

Next day I packed my stuff and left for busan. Where I again went to your aunties home and asked her about your death.

' Although she was a very nice person who always help others. She never told us about her problems. Always smiles in front of us but who knew she was actually in pain. She hanged herself in her room. It was a cold day of December. I noticed her when she didn't came out for the whole day. I thought she must be tired and fall asleep. But.... ' she answered.

' But why she did that ?' I asked.

' After her mother's death she was all alone and depressed. I told her to come and live with me but she said she's fine. I merely visit her on weekends.

Although she would never tell but I know she was  suffering. She always blames herself for her mother's death. I thought she would heal with time but I never thought she would do something like that. It's all my fault. she died cuz of me.' she said.

'Her mother....when did she died?' I asked her.

' During her high school. she was a heart patient. She was caught by a sudden cardiac arrest.' she answered.

She didn't told any of us about her mother's death.I think that's the reason why she started acting weird. No matter how much I think about it but I don't think this is the only reason why she died.

While thinking about this I reached at the lake where she always used to visit after school. I sat there on the bench  and closed my eyes. The only person came to mind is you whenever I close my eyes. Some of your memories hit my mind. Then I completely lost in your memories and fall asleep.

After some time, when I wake up , I was lying on the bed in my room. I got out of bed and I was shocked. I found myself in my old house. For a moment It seems like a dream. I watched myself in the mirror , I was actually back in time.
