I Want to Feel Your Warmth
All her life shes been living in the cold zone. All she ever wanted was to feel warm. But shes long forgotten that feeling; the feeling of warmth. At least she thought so until a random stranger, someone named Kim Jiwon, came into her life and made her feel things shes never felt before. Will she finally understand the meaning of warmth? ForewordAt the age of 10 I saw my dad beat my mother.At the age of 12 my dad started beating me. At the age of 13 I ran away from home. From that time onwards I lived on the streets, in abandoned cars and buildings, until I came upon an old unused factory. This is now my home, the only home Ill ever know.I dont need my loving mother. I dont need an abusive father. I dont need anyone. Just me... "Youre freezing!""Leave me alone.""Why should I leave you alone when youre freezing half to death?!""Just leave me alone Jiwon! You dont know anything!""Then why dont you tell me?!" I bit my lip. "Thats why Ive been bothering you; because I want to know everything. I want to know everything about you Eunae-ah. Why cant you just let me..."I waited for Jiwon to continue. "What do you want from me...""Why cant you just let me love you?" I stopped walking and fighting him off as I replayed that line in my head over and over again for several minutes. For the last 6 years of my life I was depleted of such words of adoration, and endearment. Today I heard the words love you again, and the feeling it gave me was not something that I could put into words. My heart throbbed. A salty substance escaped the corners of my eyes. I felt strong arms wrapped around my body, and it felt oddly... comfortable. Is this what it feels like to be warm?
