"I can't believe this!" I exclaimed.Right there on the camera is a whole new face staring back at me.I pinched myself hard,this is not a dream.It's a shocking reality.
The most shocking thing is that I knew the owner of the body.
Kim Mi Yeon.Her wealthy parents lived in the house besides mine.She was beautiful and overly loved by everyone.We went to the same highschool,that was until she dropped out to join a talent agency and train as an idol.There are a lot of questions floating in my brain right now.But the main one is.....
"Why am I in this body?"
"Mi yeonna....." The woman cried.She was right! She is Mi Yeon's mother.What was I,Park Yu na doing in the body of my neighbor?
"Sit down first okay? You have been through a lot.I called your dad he will be here soon.Sit down okay" Mi Yeon's mother made me sit back on the bed.
My life has always been a dramatic one but this, is the height of it all.
I didn't hear what the doctors said anymore.I blocked it all out.Memories that weren't mine filled my brain.Of people bullying and yelling at someone.
Kim mi Yeon,she ended her life just like I did.But since I was now in her body.Where is she? Is she alive in another body? I had watched and read about transmigration in movies and books.I didn't know it was so real.Soon,it was just me and Mi Yeon's mom left in the ward that seemed too large and fancy to be a regular ward.
"Mi Yeonna...." She called taking both my hands in her slightly wrinkled ones. "You don't need to chase after a dream that hurts you.Yun Seo told me everything.Why did you keep it a secret from us huh?"
"I-- "if you really want to become an idol,I'II find you another agency and sue Nam Kang moo that jerk!" She sounded so pissed.Like she should because Mi Yeon Went through shit at the hands of her fellow trainees and coordinators but kept it all to herself.She was falling behind and was about to get laid off by the company as her training contract was nearing it's end and there was no hope for her to debut as an idol and just felt like ending it all by jumping off the company's building.
"Omma..." I called.It sounded strange to me.I hadn't called anyone that in my entire life.My stepmom made it clear from day one that she isn't my mom.Just then the door opened revealing someone,the least person I had hoped to see.
Dressed luxuriously in designer clothes and handbag.Always making it glaringly obvious that she is rich.Her expensive Chanel perfume couldn't hide the stench of her evil heart. What is my stepmom doing here? Is she friends with Mi Yeon's mom?
"Omo! I couldn't believe it when you told me on the phone.Mi Yeon are you okay now?" Every cell in me wanted to slap that pretentious face of hers.The universe is amazing.It probably gave me this new life and body to compensate for the shitty life I had had before in the hands of this woman,my father and their daughter. "Yes" I replied perfunctorily "I am tired I need to rest" I wanted her out of the ward. "Sure,rest up as much as you want."
"Of course jagiya... let us take this outside.Our Mi Yeon is very sensitive now, please understand."
"Wait! Your daughter what happened to her?"
She gave me a puzzled look. "Seo Jin is doing fine"
"Ani (no) not Seo Jin,the eldest one" I probed further.I wanted to know if she's in my body as well.
"Were you too close?" My former stepmom asked raising her eyebrow. "A little.I got curious. I wanted to know if she's doing okay"
Graveyard silence filled the room.My former stepmom cleared her throat and wore a sad look "Yu na is dead.She died two months ago"
"What..? Why?" If she is not in my body that means... She died.Kim Mi Yeon died?
