Dear JournalDear Journal,
I was at the airport and my parents started crying. My mom was sad to see me go, she took it the hardest that my Dad had to hold her and soothe her. My sister wished me luck and gave me a kiss on my forehead. She told me to study well and be myself there. I did as she told dont worry.
I hugged Mom one last time before I entered the doors. I went past the immigration and I can still see my parents from inside. On the other side of the glass windows, I saw my sister smiling and waving at me. I smiled back and then someone popped out of nowhere.
Seungcheol ran up against the glass and banged it. I can read his lips.
Yoon...
Jeonghan...
He kept on saying my name as the immigration officer asked for my passport. I glanced at the windows and he was still there. My Dad held him and tried to pull him away but he was unstoppable.
Seungcheol cried..
He cried from the other side of the window and my heart broke. Seungcheol only cries when hes completely defeated and weak. He hardly cries. He had this deep wound back in 7th grade and he didnt shed a tear. Hes that strong, but looking back that day. He looked the weakest. Powerless even.
Why was he weak that day?
Why was he defeated?
Seungcheol's round eyes was filled with tears. He wont stop crying, I wanted to run back and hold him. Make him calm down because im the only person who can do that. Not
