Unexpected Farewell
881 Words
I gradually opened my eyes to see that I was in a white room. I toured my eyes and I guess, I was in the hospital. I could smell the iodoform, the disinfectant they used was strong. I didn't like it.
Then I realized how much my body was awfully hurt. The pain was all over my body and I could barely move.
I slightly turned to my side and saw Hyoyeon was sleeping, her head was resting on my bed.
I tried to check the room again but there was no sign of Tiffany. Hyoyeon was alone here with me.
It hit me again and my heart was aching, just thinking that I will lose Tiffany makes me frighten and anxious.
I can't live without her, she completes me and I only want her in my life.
I have to talk to her and make things clear so I forced myself to sit up, I need to get out of here.
Hyoyeon maybe felt my movement and she woke up. She stood up and support me "Taeyeon, what are you doing? You should rest."
I shook my head frantically "I need to see Tiffany, I need to explain to her. Where is she?"
Hyoyeon held me still "She's not here, please Taeyeon, lie down and rest," she said but she wasn't looking at me. She was hiding something, I know her.
"I don't want to! I need to talk to her! Where's Tiffany?" I raised my voice, I was scared because I could sense something was wrong.
"Just stay here and rest, you can talk to her some other time," Hyoyeon commanded but her eyes never met mine.
"I want to see her now. What's wrong with you?" I asked in incredulity.
Hyoyeon didn't answer, I knew it! She's hiding something.
"Tell me the truth Hyo, where is she?" I asked firmly.
"Taeyeon please," she held my arm and squeezed it.
"Where is Tiffany?" I asked again, this time my voice was broken.
"She... she's gone Taeyeon," she reluctantly answered.
"What do you mean she's gone?" My heart was beating erratically, I'm terrified.
"Tiffany is gone! She left us and went abroad with Minho. She will continue her Master's Degree there. You were sleeping for a week now," Hyoyeon finally explained.
My heart started to skip beats, I was suffocating.
"H-how about her job here? She's my professor!"
"She resigned. I told you Taeyeon, she's already gone," Hyoyeon painfully said.
A single tear slid down from my eyes, followed by another one and so on, then a steady flow of briny tears poured down my cheeks, releasing the misery and grief that has been held inside of me for all this time.
"No!" I yelled as the tears continue to spill, not a cascade but a trickle. "She can't do this to me! It's just a f*****g kiss! She can't just leave me!"
"Please Taeyeon just calm down!" Hyoyeon tried to calm me but I couldn't.
My eyes felt burning and my chest felt heavy as if it was filled with burden. The stifled sobs wracked against my chest. The world turned into a blur, I couldn't see clearly.
Hyoyeon hugged me tightly and also cried "I'm sorry Taeyeon."
"Hyo, she can't just leave me. Why you allowed her to leave? She can't do this... no..." I mumbled as I sobbed. I held Hyoyeon's arm as if my life depends on it.
My walls that hold and protect me, just collapsed. Bit by bit, my walls came tumbling down. It became vulnerable as it fell down.
This painful emotion slammed against my chest. Everything darkened into emptiness. I'm hopeless.
"No Hyoyeon! She can't just leave! I will follow her!" I couldn't control my emotion. Tears kept running down, it was despair and hysterical crying.
"Yoona, Seolhyun!" Hyoyeon called out. I was fighting to her as she secured me with a tight hug.
Yoona and Seolhyun came in, they looked worried to me.
"Please call the doctor!" Hyoyeon quickly requested.
Then Seolhyun swiftly rushed outside.
Yoona covered her mouth as she watched me out of control, tears began to fall from her eyes.
"Taeyeon! Please, calm down," Hyoyeon pleaded and her voice cracked.
I just wanted to scream but my voice was melted by the pain which was dominating me.
Seolhyun came back rushing with the doctor and nurses. The doctor didn't waste time as he injected me something. It suddenly calmed me down.
They laid me down back to bed, I felt like I was laying in the water. I was drowning, I couldn't move and I became sleepy.
All sounds around me disappeared but I could hear my heartbeat.
My eyes were closing slowly as the darkness replaced the light.
Tiffany left me without saying anything to me. She left even if I'm still here in the hospital. She didn't care about my condition and just left with her fiance.
That's what it means when people are hard. It's like they steal your courage and happiness; it's a wound that no one can see, raw from the inside.
This couldn't be how it was going to end and I let my sadness overwhelm me.
All I knew was she's gone, out of my life for possibly forever.
