The First Step (1)

"Have you finish packing?" Hyesun's mother was at the door as Hyesun zipped the luggage bag.

She nodded. "Yes mother. Don't worry. I'll call you whenever I can, okay?" Hyesun said with a smile.

"You take care." Her mother didn't say much. Her daughter is going to another district to continue her studies. Yes, it was just a 5 hour drive away. But as a mother, who wouldn't worry about their child?

"Bye mother!" Hyesun waved and stepped into her car. Starting the engine, she sighed at the 5 hour drive. That long, boring 5 hour drive through forests and talking to yourself experience...

"Do you think she'll be okay?" Hyesun's mother asked after she was in the living room.

"She'll be fine. You saw how she was at the rock climbing activity. She's tough enough, well, maybe except her driving skills and cooking..." Her father said and continued changing the TV channel, looking for something nice to watch.

"O dear... her cooking... Hope she doesn't burn the kitchen or the dorm..." Her mother chuckled.

Hyesun was humming while driving. In front of her was a long windy and hilly road. Suddenly the silver car in front of her braked. Hyesun realized the brake lights and hit the brake pedal as hard as she could, holding tightly onto the steering. The distance between the two cars became shorter and Hyesun knew it was a bad thing.

The brakes screeched for a long time before it came to a halt.

Hyesun's heart was beating crazily. She felt her numb hands shiver.

Did she stop safely? Did she hit a car? Was she alive?!
