(Oneshot) Forever Friend

It was stupid.

How could this be happening to me?

I don’t want my life to be turned into a drama.

All I want is to lead a normal life.

Make friends with normal people and have fun with my friends and family.

That was all.

Is it too hard for that?

I just wish that he would send a reply e-mail saying that he was just kidding.

Saying that he was sorry for making me dead worried;

Saying that he would want to apologize for the false news…

And now…. I am waiting…

Still waiting…

=_=_=_=_=_=

You have received one e-mail!

It took me for a second to study the whole popped up that suddenly appeared on my laptop’s screen.

I stretched my fingers before moving the cursor to click on the link and check out my inbox.

Just a few seconds later, I saw it. The e-mail that always made my heart pounded so hard whenever I received it; the e-mail that would put a smile on my face; an e-mail from him…

Hey Rynna,

How have you been?
I am fine.
So long never send e-mail…kikiki
My English…bad…
Hope you understand…
I your reply wait…^^
Bye for now!




One short and simple e-mail that managed to make me smile widely

His name is Kim Jung Kee; a Korean pen pal of mine and he is also 17 years old-like me.

We met in this site for pen pals long time ago and our friendship has been lasted for almost 1 year long. I always read back to his previous e-mails and somehow, there is something in his e-mail that made my heart to flutter like a tiny butterfly.

Hey Rynna,

Cool…you like Korea? Come Korea…fast…
I want to meet you…this winter ^^

I like him… as my friend. In fact, he is a very good listener as well. I still remember the day when I was having a nerve racking day of stress of examinations that I had to sit for. I told him lots of things about anything that I would like to share and he took it very well.

Hey Rynna,

You must be strong! We must study! I must study!
I am busy as well…
But I will reply!^^

He once had told me about his family situation; that he no longer has a father and how he wanted to find a side job to manage his mom and his younger sister’s life. I did not know how far these e-mails of him were true because we should never believe to any strangers that we haven’t met before yeah; especially if we only know that certain somebody through the internet. It is very dangerous.

However, there is ‘something’ that made me to believe in him; Kim Jung Kee.

Things went absolutely okay between us two. I like him more and more and I sent him a few letters with my picture and some presents but he never replied. Not once.

He told me:

Hey Rynna,

I received your letter!
I am soooo happy!
I felt emotion ^^
My English bad…I am busy to reply…
I try…

Another e-mail:

Hey Rynna,
I wrote letter for you!
But letter missing!!!
I am so sad!!!
I reply again..later!
I try! ^^

That was my friend Kim Jung Kee.

His short e-mail messages were like his trademark.

But I like it for the way it was.

Not long after that, everything seemed different. Jung Kee seldom reply to my e-mails; very rarely…

Nearly the end of December, I received one e-mail from him:

Hey Rynna,

Sorry late…
I faced accident…I got hurt…
So I couldn’t reply to you…
I try reply…
I am happy to receive e-mail from you!!! ^^
C ya later!

Okay…an accident? Fine…I trusted him. Then again rarely replied to me and I was getting worried waiting for him to reply.

I know I shouldn’t be feeling like this towards a stranger that I only saw his face in the photos he sent me… but I could not help myself. He was a good guy to begin with.

I asked him… asked him whether he is okay? Or that he did not want to be my friend anymore?

Hey Rynna,
No no no…
You and I are forever friend!
I hurt. Accident.
I’m in pain… my internet at home…broken…
I could not send e-mail to you…
I am sorry…
C ya later my Forever friend!!! ^^

I highlighted the word ‘Forever Friend’

Without knowing what did he mean by that, I kept the words safe in my heart.
I was not worried anymore for that I knew he will read and will reply my e-mails no matter what. He is there. He is my Forever Friend. Until one day…

Dear Rynna,

I am Jung Kee’s mom. I am sorry to say this but my son is dead. He is gone and he could not send e-mails to you anymore. I am so sorry for this news. Jung Kee was a street accident. I am so sorry.

I laughed when I was done reading it. Dead? Jung Kee? Yeah right~…
Once again his e-mail managed to put another smile on my face. He can be really mysterious at a time. All I wanted to say at that point was: Stop playing around dear friend!

So I sent him a reply asking him seriously if he somehow did not want to be my friend for any reason. I can take it. Fine. But please…spreading false news about dead or
alive matter is absolutely not funny at all!

Dear Rynna,

I was shock as well. He was alive for the past two days and was in ‘vegetable’ state. I am sad. I am so sorry. Jung Kee said you and him are forever friend. Jung Kee likes you. Sorry.

I was left confused. I tried so many things to investigate this fact. How could he do this to me?

What about the meeting?
What about this winter?
What about me coming to Korea?
What about the days ahead without his e-mails?
What about the smile on my face?
What about our friendship?

What about ‘forever friend’…?
