Fiction: Group 4
“Jun? But…Didn’t you die?”I questioned again as Hak spoke out “Sei, thanks to you, I have finally returned
to Jun. And now I have no more regrets.” I stared at the lovers blankly, “Are you leaving me…now?” Hak
chuckled as he looked at his shoes, when he gazed back up he simply said “Yes.”
I smiled, I guess I helped them out. “Well then… I guess it’s good bye. You’re probably going onto another
journey again.”
The two smiled at me gratefully as they turned their back towards me. Hand in hand, they started to fade to
the never ending blankness of the white room. I felt myself slowly regaining my consciousness as I heard the
last words of Hak.
“Thank you, I can never thank you enough…”
I woke up to someone shaking my body, “sei…Sei…Sei! SEI!” I opened my eyes and the familiar scenery of
Jun’s room flew into my room. I was still holding Jun’s hand, with tears in my eyes. I smiled staring at her
body, while thinking of the two’s long waited reunion. I let go of her hand as I slowly left the room.
Time to continue the photo taking.
…
It has been 60 years since then, I’ve married a wonderful woman I fell in love at first sight at and I have
grandchildren now. Thanks to my job, I’ve been to lots of places, beautiful cities like Paris, London,
Dubai… But nothing beats the first trip, the short trip to Shen Zhen and the adventure that led me to see
the beauty of China through The Pearl River Delta.
The moment Hak had left my body, I could never see anything strange, but photography never looked any
better, everything was peaceful. I had the adventure of my life already.
Here I am, on my bed…as my life flashes through my eyes… The world is getting dimmer… But I could
still hear the sobbing of my children as they sob next to my bed. My love has gone, but I’m going to meet
her soon, along with my old friends. I breathed out my last breath as I heard the warm and familiar voice of
Hak calling out to me…
“Welcome, Sei.”
Another adventure awaits me as I stepped into the white room of infinite, slowly fading into the pureness.
