THREE SECONDS.
Tuesday, October 15, 2013
This is just an entry for a short story writing contest from my English course, because my teacher HAPPENED TO READ my It Hurts' draft on my laptop... and she simply asked me to make a short English version out of It Hurts or maybe change the story a bit.
And I won 1st place. I. Fucking. Won. Like what, seriously? You will understand why I'm doubting their judgement after reading the whole story, I bet. So yea, it happened. I took a scene where Hyomi was about to got hit by Jaejoong's car, lol.

“Does
anyone see where Min is?” Ryan asked the cheerleader team, with whom Min’s
usually at.
Ryan, a
multi-talented boy who plays guitar and basketball. The only boy who won the
mathematics contest, among other girls. A boy who is ‘the best of the best’
friend Min has ever Had. The school’s flower boy, he has his own fanclub.
“She is
at the laboratory, finishing her experiment. Why?” one of the cheerleader team
replied.
“Ehm-
No, I just want to talk to her. Thank you for your information!”
Ryan ran
as soon as he knew where Min was. As he saw that girl, “Min! Tama want to talk
to you.” He shouted, “At the café you guys always gather, he said.”
“Eh? Did he
tell you why? I’m actually a bit busy right now.” Min replied.
Min, a
17-year-old girl who is majoring in science, and is in her graduation year. She
has long dark brown hair, with dark brown eyes. Min, who is always cheerful on
the outside, but she hides her problems. A girl who has more smiles than tears.
She is a strong-brave girl, who always speaks her mind.
“Eh,
I’m not sure, he told me that this was urgent. I don’t know.” Answered Ryan, he
really doesn’t know how urgent their problem is. Problem? Might be problem…
“Ok
then, I’ll go. But could you please help me to re-write all this document,
please? I have to finish this by 9.00 P.M.” Min said as she packed her things
and grabbed her bag.
“Sure,
I’ll help.” Ryan began to handle her documents and helped her to pack her
things.
“He
really didn’t tell you what he wanted to talk about?” Min asked again. Sure, she
is feeling something wrong…
“He
real didn’t,” Ryan answered again. Well, Tama only called him to tell Min,
right? As a ‘best of the best’ friend Min has ever had, he said straight to the
point.
"Okay, I'm going Ryan. Thank you and Bye!"
"Yea sure!"
Min arrived at the café and there he is. She see Tama. Her Boyfriend. "Hey, why do you want to see me? Why so-"
"We end up here." Tama said.
Min got
shocked. They are already together for 2 years, and why did he want to break
up? “Tama?
Did I do something wrong? I could fix – “
“No.
You didn’t do anything wrong. It is just me. we break up, Min.”
In
three seconds, you realize life is cruel.
God, this isn’t fair. I just can’t understand.
Everyone does have their happiness. Where’s my happiness? You took my parents
and my brother. Now you let him go. I have nothing left. I just want to be
happy with my family.
Min
walked down the street that night. In three seconds, she hated how life went.
She didn’t know where to go. She didn’t even want to go back to her
cold-empty-house. It was cloudy.
“It will rain,” She
said. she let herself got wet by the rain. She kept walking down the street,
although it rained heavily. She crossed the street perfunctorily, until a
high-speed car came towards her.
“I’m
grateful you answer my prayer, dear God.” She told herself. She dropped her bag
and closed her eyes deeply. But, the car screeched loudly – it stopped. A boy
got out from the car. In three seconds, she thought she would got hit.
She
opened her eyes slowly, wondering why the car didn’t hit her. The boy ran
towards her. He reached Min’s hand. Min’s cold hand.
“Min!
Is this you?” the boy asked. “Min answer me! what happened to you? You got
really wet seriously – Min? I’m here please answer me!”
She
can’t even see the boy’s face clearly – she was dizzy and everything was blurry. But she heard his husky voice,
she know who that is. That is Ryan.
In
three seconds, she felt comfortable. “Ryan…” but she weakened and weakened. She wanted to
cry. She needed someone to listen to her problems; and she know ken will.
“Why
are you here? Come in to my car, let’s talk. I know you’ve got some problems.”
He stared directly to Min’s eyes, and he saw pain and depression.
“Why
don’t you just hit me?” Min asked frustratedly.
“What
are you saying?” Ryan grabbed Min’s hand but she stayed on her ground.
“I’m
not going anywhere. Leave. Me. Alone.”
In
three seconds, she stayed still. She needs Ryan but no – she can’t tell him
about what’s going on.
“Did
you break up with Tama?”
And
that’s it – just in three seconds, she forgot everything and started to cry
loudly on Ryan’s shoulder. She can’t hold it in. she can’t hold her pain alone.
“I
know. I know this is hard. But I’m standing still here for you.” He hugged her
for awhile, the don’t care if they’re in the middle of the street.
“Min,”
He suddenly called out her name.
“Hmm?” Ryan heard her trembling voice. The fact that Min was still crying broke a piece
inside him.
“Do you
know who I love the most?” Ryan smiled.
“I-I
don’t know.”
“That
person, is definitely hugging me right now and still crying. I want her to be
happy and smile again like usual. Can you please tell her to smile again?”
In
three seconds, they ended up with their hands around each other.
In
three seconds you choose your way.
In
three seconds you begin to cry.
In
three seconds your hands are around each other.
In
three seconds you find your destiny.
Your
fate begin with a three seconds.

Making it is as cringe as reading it all over again. It's like, I actually know I can't make it into a good love story AND I BLAME the maximum amount of words I got.
First, what a useless introduction I had in the beginning.
Second, what the fuck - Ryan suddenly confess his love in the middle of the rain AFTER SHE BROKE UP, HELLO, WHERE'S THE MANNER?
Third, there's no reason why I used this kinda 'Three Second' theme.
I BLAME THE TIME LIMIT - Because who can fucking write a make-sense story in 1 week with assignment papers and exams. I mean, I'm a beginner so never compare me [self-helping] with a professional author out there - also I know this is a very short story but still - I DO NEED INSPIRATION.
[p/s: the Min I used here is not Min from Alvin's Online Diary. hehehe.]
I don't understand why I did win BUT OF COURSE I'M GRATEFUL. I got a supermarket voucher and will spend it on ice cream and snacks~
