I'm Sorry

                                    

                                          
"Yejinaa... Yej.. where are you.."
"Excuse me.. do you a girl, student, from the ship accident named Son Yejin??"
"Please...", Bin begging for the nurse's answer. 
                          
"I believe she was placed in the most right corner room, that way student..", said the nurse. 
                          
"Thank you.. thank you..", he bowed endlessly and directly rush to her room. 
                          
What he found was an empty bed, with a messy bed cover, indicating she must leave the room by herself. Bin crumbles his hair and left to find her presence. 
                          
————
                          
Bin didn't get to find her at that time, he met her for the first time after the accident was at school. He followed her.. He observed her.. with all the treatments she gets. 
                          
At cafeteria..
He saw her sitting at the most corner table alone. So, he approached her with the same tray of food in front of her. He kept glancing towards her, but none of his presence seems to be recognized by Yejin. They just left with other students' murmur saying Yejin is such a bitch, stealing Hana's crush, still able to get touchy with boys, flirting, and all of those things. 
                          
He knows she tried to ignore it. She didn't even finish half of her meal and left him alone at the table. After that, he never finds her sitting in the cafeteria or at least buying food from the canteen. He is worried, days by days he noticed her face get much paler and her body become skinnier than what she had before. 
                          
Then one day, he found her sitting on the rooftop staring emptily at the cloud. 
                          
"Hey.. what are you doing..", he takes a seat beside her and started the conversation. 
                          
She didn't reply and begin to stand and leave the rooftop. But before she raises her foot, a hand envelope her wrist. 
                          
"Gwenchana?", said Bin without looking at her face. 
                          
She still didn't reply and use her other hand to release his grip on her. 
                          
"Please stay..", said Bin with a whispering sound. 
                          
"No.."
"Please leave..", she replied for the first time. 
                          
"Yejinaa..."
                          
"Bin.. please.. I'm begging you.. don't search for me anymore, don't follow me, don't do anything related to me... please... do that for me will you...", she gets on her knee, begging Bin to leave her.  
                          
"Don't make it harder for me.. I don't want to make any mistakes.. especially with you..", then she left him again.

Today, exactly 1 month after the accident. The school has built a sort of memorial for the late students and teachers. The parents are all invited to pay a visit to the children's desk, locker, and all the other things related to them. 
                          
All of them gathered in the hall room and each of the parents speaks out their feeling about this event. 
                          
"Hello my name is Myeongja, Jooeun's mother, she was such a lovely child at home, she spends time playing with her brother and little sister. My daughter, eomma really sorry for not giving you much love when you are still here. Don't worry Jooeunaa, you have a lot of friends there, so don't feel lonely ok.. eomma miss you..", said Jooeun's eomma. 
                          
"Hello, I am Hana's mother.."
"I know Hana is much different from the other students, yes she didn't have many friends and an outsider here. At home, she never told her problems and all the bully things she experienced at her school. But I know, I saw her body getting bruised, her uniforms' smell, and many other things. Even, until the last of her life, I didn't get to call her properly.."
                          
"Ahjumma... she.. she.. bullied Hana..", one of the students pointing her hand at Yejin. 
                          
Once again, everyone starting murmurs, their eyes speak of hate, all the malicious thing strikes at Yejin. 
                          
"Is this true child?", asked Hana's mother. 
                          
Yejin who remained her face down even from the event starts, starting to bite her lips, she was scared to death. 
                          
"She bullied Hana.. She ruined Hana's phone at the ship..", added another student. 
                          
"Is.. that.. true.. child??", Hana's mother voice starting to shake. 
                          
She walks slowly approaching Yejin. She touches her hand and caress it. 

"Why did you do it??"
"WHY!!!", she moved her hand from Yejin's hand to her face, slapping her cheek with a full force. Yejin fall into the ground. 
                          
Everyone was shocked on what they are seeing, audible gasp can be heard every now and then. 
                          
"YEJIN.. A PRETTY NAME THOUGH.. DID YOUR PARENTS DIDN'T TEACH YOU HOW TO BEHAVE LIKE A PERSON?", said Hana's mother. 
                          
"WHY?? WHY HER?? SHE IS SUCH A GIFT TO ME.. ALTHOUGH, SHE IS NOT IMPORTANT TO YOU, SHE IS IMPORTANT TO ME.." 
                          
She gave Yejin one last slap before grabbing Yejin's hair and start to pull it all over the place. Yejin didn't stir, she just closes her eyes and pretend that this happens just between her and hana's mom. 
                          
"such a murderer.."
"you know a murderer always a murderer.."
"The moment you laid your hands on her body, you are already a murderer.."
"you kill her yejin.. you kill her.. your mouth.. your action.. kills her.."
                          
Everything is so funny to her. Regardless of everyone witnessing this, no one helps her.. NO ONE. 
                          
"Ahjumma.. I'm sorry..", her last word before she lost her consciousness. 
                          
Suddenly..
                          
"YEJINAAA!!"
"Wake up..", Bin hugs her helpless body away from all that evil stares. 
"Gwenchana.. everything will be ok..", said Bin. 
                          
The nurse begins to carry her body and bring her away from the hall room. 
                          
Bin who remained in the hall room become the next target for the audience. 
                          
"YOU ARE ALL SUCH AN HYPOCRITE.."
"I BULLIED HER, SHE BULLIED, YOU TOO.. YOU TOO..! EVERYONE HERE BULLIED HER! HOW DARE YOU!"
                          
"AHJUMMA JUST SO YOU KNOW.. YEJIN IS THE ONE WHO LENDS HER PHONE TO HANA, SHE GAVE THE CHANCE TO TALK TO YOU... AND HANA... IS THE ONE WHO MADE CHOICE TO SAVE YEJIN!! FUCK YOU ALL!!" Bin screamed his voice out loud, making sure every person in the hall know Yejin is not the one who should take the blame.
