Chapter 31

"Sharon."  Sharon turned around and found Elizabeth right behind her.

"Hi Elizabeth," Sharon said slowly.  Elizabeth smiled.

"How are you, dear?" Elizabeth asked.  Sharon had went out by herself to the marketplace that morning.  Sharon felt a chill go up her spine when she listened to the tone that Elizabeth was talking to her in.  Usually, she would be calling her some obscenities.  This was the first time that she actually called her dear and it caused her to feel uncomfortable.

"I'm fine.  And you?" Sharon asked.  Elizabeth smiled again.

"Not that well since Theodore doesn't feel that well," Elizabeth said.  "You know that he misses you, Sharon."  Sharon felt another chill go up her spine.

"How's Frederick?" Sharon asked.  The husband of Elizabeth and the father of Theodore.  He was always nice to her, even before Theodore declared to be her fianc�.  Elizabeth smiled gently.

"He's fine.  He's actually happy that you left Theodore," Elizabeth said.  She looked back at Sharon.  "I want you to return to Theodore, Sharon."  Sharon shook her head.

"It's my life, Elizabeth.  I can't let people control my life with just a lie that they had made up when I lost my memory.  That's taking advantage of me," Sharon said.  Elizabeth took a step closer to Sharon.

"Don't make me do something that would make Theodore upset, Sharon," Elizabeth said in a voice close to a whisper.  Sharon took a step back.

"I don't know what you are saying but I decided that I'm going to do what I want to do and not follow what people tell me to do blindly," Sharon answered.  She then turned around and walked away as fast as she could but Elizabeth caught up with her and grab hold of her shoulder.  A cry of pain escaped from Sharon as she cringed in pain.

"You're going back with me, Sharon," Elizabeth said.  Suddenly, someone attacked her and she was forced to let go of Sharon.

"She's not going anywhere that she doesn't want to go," Hye Sung said.  Jae Won was standing next to him and Kang Ta helped Sharon up.

"Kang Ta?  Why are you people here?" Sharon asked out of surprise.

"We heard that you came out by yourself so we came to look for you," Kang Ta said.  "Don't go out by yourself in a time like this."  Sharon nodded.

"You think that it's a big deal that you know how to fight, don�t you?" Elizabeth said.  "So nice of young men to bully an old lady like me."  Jae Won let out a cold laugh.

"You?  Old lady?  I don't think that a normal old lady would know how to fight.  Not to mention that you attacked our friend first," Jae Won said.  Elizabeth stared at him.

"Let me just get a point straight," Hye Sung said with a cold expression on his face.  "If you touch Sharon again, I won't let you off so easily."

"You think that you could easily attack me?" Elizabeth asked with a smirk.

"I don't think that it would be easy but I'll fight till the end for my dongseng," Hye Sung said.

"We know that you're not like other normal people.  But we are not going to let that affect our determination," Jae Won said.  "We are protecting the people that we care about."  Elizabeth gave them a chilling smile.

"I think that we would meet again soon enough," she said.  She then turned around and walked away.

"Are you ok, Sharon?" Jae Won asked.  Sharon nodded.

"She knows different kinds of martial arts," Sharon explained.  Hye Sung nodded.

"I noticed that.  She was able to react that quickly when Jae Won and I attacked her.  She's not a regular opponent, let alone a normal OLD lady," Hye Sung said as he rolled his eyes.  "Old lady.  I don't think that I could use that term on her."  Sharon nodded.

"She's very violent, even back at the Island," Sharon said.  Kang Ta nodded.

"That's why I don't want you to go out alone by yourself," Kang Ta said.  Sharon nodded and smiled at him.

"I think that I said this before right?  As long as you're beside me, I'm not afraid of anything," Sharon said.  Kang Ta smiled.

"I could see that your memory is returning," Kang Ta commented.  Sharon nodded.

"I seem to remember more things these days," Sharon said.

"That's good news," Jae Won said with a smile.

***********************************************

"Did you do it on purpose, Mother?" Theodore asked in an annoyed manner.  Elizabeth glared at him.

"What kind of attitude are you giving me, Theodore?  I went out and attempted to get the girl back for you and this is attitude that you give me?" Elizabeth said.  Theodore rolled his eyes.

"Everyone knows that you hate Sharon.  Who knows if you just went to warn her to never see me again," Theodore said.  Elizabeth let out a cold laugh.

"That's how you think of me, Theodore?  You know that I love you.  You're my son.  As long as you like the girl, I'll let you two be together," Elizabeth said.  She then glanced at him.  "But you're not the kind of guy to lock yourself to one girl.  I could almost guarantee that if you get married to her, within two months, you're going to divorce her and then get another woman."  Theodore laughed.

"Don't say that Mother," Theodore said.

"It's true," Elizabeth said.  She then looked outside.  "Is your father coming?"

"Not that I know of," Theodore said.  Elizabeth nodded.

"That's probably better for you and me," Elizabeth said.  Theodore frowned.

"You know Father.  He likes Sharon as if she was his daughter.  He would never let us do this if he knew what happened," Theodore said.  Elizabeth nodded.

"That's why I'm worried about if he's coming or not," Elizabeth said.  Theodore nodded.

***********************************************

"I hate his whole family!" Lami yelled when she saw the injury that Sharon got from Elizabeth.  Although Elizabeth just attacked her shoulder, the bruise spread to more than half of the arm.  Sharon winced as Miya rubbed the bruise with the medicine.

"It's going to be quick, dongseng," Miya said with a frown.  "She's pretty brutal on you."  Sharon looked at the bruise again.  Kang Ta and Woo Hyuk got up from their seats at the same time.

"Where are you going?" Yae Ji asked.

"Going to find that ogress," Kang Ta said through gritted teeth.

"I don't think that we should though," Hye Sung said as he shook his head.  "She's not just any ogress.  She's one that could fight pretty well."

"Then what do we do?  Do we just sit here and wait for her to attack us?" Woo Hyuk asked.

"I still think that it's better that we don't go look for her," Hye Sung said as he shook his head.  The rest of the people nodded.

"Oppa�Kang Ta�don't you two go look for her.  I spent some time with her.  I know how she is.  Don't go," Sharon said.  Kang Ta then sat down beside her.

"But she hurt you," Woo Hyuk said.  Kang Ta nodded.  Sharon shook her head.

"It doesn't matter.  Just let it be some kind of compensation for the time that the people at the Island had spent on me," Sharon said.

"At least you don't owe them anything anymore," Miya said.  "Does it still hurt?  The bruise seems to be going away a little now."  Sharon nodded.

"It doesn't have that throbbing pain that much anymore.  Thanks, unnie," Sharon said.  Miya smiled back at her.

"What are you talking about?  You're my dongseng.  Of course, I'll take care of you," Miya said.  Sharon smiled.

"I'm glad that I found you people again and that my memory is increasing each day," Sharon said.  "I'm pretty sure that I'll remember everything by the end of the week."  The people all let out a cheer of happiness.

"I guess it's all good that you actually went to the Island because you got to learn about medicines that you can't learn anywhere else," Fany said.  Sharon nodded.  She then looked at Kang Ta.

"And I got to learn about the cure to the thing that was bothering you people," Sharon said.  The rest of the people nodded.  She then looked at Lami.  "And about his whole family, seriously saying, I can't say anything about Frederick, Theodore's father.  He was nice to me throughout the whole time that I was at the Island."

"You sure that there was no scheme behind it, Sharonie?" Yae Ji asked.  Sharon nodded.

"I'm sure about it.  He was nice to me before Theodore told me that he was my fianc�," Sharon said.  The rest of the people nodded.

***********************************************

"I heard that your father would be coming," Elizabeth said.  Theodore turned and looked at her in shock and disbelief.

"Wait.  Are you sure that it's not a joke?" Theodore asked.  She nodded.  "But first of all, he doesn't like to get out of the Island.  Second of all, what are we going to do if he really tries to stop us and how are we going to continue?"  Elizabeth sighed.

"It was what I was worrying about the most.  I guess we would have to make the plans earlier," Elizabeth said.

"How are we going to get Sharon alone?" Theodore asked.  Elizabeth thought for a while.

"It's easier to get her alone than to get the rest of the people following her," Elizabeth said.  She then smiled.  "The heal to the Tears of Angels."

***********************************************



Chapter 32

"You're going out again?" Ji Hye asked.  Sharon nodded.

"I'm running out of leaves of the Tears of Angels because Kang Ta is not just using the regular amount.  If he used the regular amount, I didn't have to go out for the next six months!" Sharon said with a smile.  Kang Ta walked out from the elevator.

"Talking about me?" Kang Ta asked as he walked up to Sharon.  Sharon smiled again.

"I'm just talking about how I have to use so much more leaves of the Tears of Angels on you," Sharon said as Kang Ta held on to her hand.

"Well then I'll help you go out and look for it today," Kang Ta said.  Sharon smiled.

"Fine," Sharon said.

***********************************************

"You know that it would be easier if you ate the Tears of Angels and then get it over and done with," Kang Ta said.  Sharon stopped and looked at Kang Ta.

"Are you getting tired about this?" Sharon asked.  Kang Ta shook his head.

"I just don't want to see you so tired every single day," Kang Ta said.  "You have to run around looking for the leaves and the fruit and then look for things that you could try the medicine on."  He sighed.  "I feel like a burden to you."  Sharon shook her head.

"You're not a burden to me," Sharon said.  She then walked a little closer to him.  "You know how I'm remembering things from the past these few days?  I remember the times that we spent together.  I had never been so happy in my life.  And another thing is that I remember�how much I was in love with you."  She blushed.  Kang Ta smiled and touched her face gently.

"I love you too Sharon," Kang Ta said softly and then kissed her gently on her lips.  "That's why I don't want you to be so tired because of me."  Sharon smiled.

"It's worth it.  At least when it works out, we would have the future waiting for us," Sharon said.  Kang Ta nodded.

***********************************************

"You could have gotten Sharon at that time," Theodore said as they walked back to the place that they were staying in.

"That guy is still immortal," Elizabeth answered.  "He still has the ability to live forever.  I, on the other hand, can die."

"All you care about is yourself," Theodore muttered.  Elizabeth glared at him.

"And what do you care about?  If you're sexually satisfied or not?" Elizabeth demanded.  Theodore looked around them.

"Don't talk that loud," Theodore said.  Elizabeth smiled coldly.

"You actually care about how people look upon you.  Try to show some of that trait back at the Island," Elizabeth said.

"Back at the Island, nobody could do anything to me," Theodore said.  Elizabeth shook her head.

"I told you that it was a bad idea to come back here and make a medical center.  You wouldn't listen to me," she said.

"It was Sharon's idea," Theodore said.  "I'm starting to wonder if she really forgot her past or was she just acting it out so that we could send her back here."

***********************************************

"Sharon?  Why are you going out again?" Ji Hye asked.

"I ran out of the leaves of Tears of Angels," Sharon said.

"I thought that you just got it yesterday," Ji Hye said.

"I didn't get enough," Sharon explained.

"But Kang Ta's not here right now," Ji Hye said with a frown.  "I don't like the idea of you going out by yourself."  Sharon smiled.

"It's ok.  I'm not going to go to far out.  Just around the forest in the front of the hotel.  I saw a lot of Tears of Angels there yesterday," Sharon said.  "Oh yeah!  Be careful about that fact also.  I don�t want you people to suffer from it."

"Ok!" Ji Hye answered with a smile.

***********************************************

"This is weird," Sharon said as she looked at the layer on the stem of the Tears of Angels.  "How come I never notice that there's another layer there?"  She then took out a knife and took off some of the layer of the stem.

"Long time no see, Sharon," a voice said behind her.  Sharon turned around and found Theodore and Elizabeth standing behind her.  Sharon immediately stood up straight.

"What do you want?" Sharon asked.

"What do you think that we want, Sharon?" Elizabeth asked with a smile on her face.

"We've been waiting for you to be alone for so long.  You didn't let us down, Sharon," Theodore said with a satisfied smile.

"Well I'll have to say that you'll be let down in the fact that I'm never going to marry you," Sharon said.

"Do you think that you'll be able to run away from the two of us today, Sharon?  There's no one around to help you, Sharon," Elizabeth said.  "It's not like the other day with three young men protecting you.  You're all alone."

"If I get captured, the way that I'm going to protect myself is by death," Sharon said bravely.  "I can guarantee you that after so many things, I'm not afraid of death."  Elizabeth smiled again.

"What if we don�t let you die?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don�t think that you'll have the choice of letting me die or not.  You might know medications but you won't know heals to immediate death," Sharon said.  She then took up the knife and placed it right before her neck.

"What are you doing, Sharon?" Theodore asked immediately.  Her movement shocked him.  Sharon let out a smile.

"If you make me do something against my will," Sharon said in a voice just a little above a whisper so that it's definite that Theodore and Elizabeth could hear her, "I will commit suicide right here.  There's no way that you'll ever get me when I'm alive."

"We could talk about this, Sharon," Elizabeth said calmly.

"There's nothing to talk about.  I remember more than ninety percent of what happened before I woke up at the Island.  I know who I love and who's my fianc�," Sharon said as she stared at Theodore.  He took a step back because of her glare.

"You're jumping into conclusions a little too quickly," Elizabeth said.  "Are you sure that what you're remembering is not something that they planted into you."

"It can't be.  I remember things that none of them would ever know," Sharon said.  Elizabeth let out a cold laugh again.

"I don't believe that you'll do anything like committing suicide.  You're just trying to fool us," Elizabeth said as she took a step forward.

"What are you doing, Mother?" Theodore called out in disbelief.

"You take another step and I'll immediately die in front of you because I know that with myself, I could never beat you in martial arts," Sharon warned.  Elizabeth let out a smile.

"Of course.  We spent some time together.  I'm pretty sure that you won't die before you marry the person that you love," Elizabeth said.  She then took another step forward.

***********************************************



Chapter 33

"Where did she go?" Kang Ta said with a frown as he looked out the front door.  It's been about five hours since she had gone out.

"Didn't we all agree that we weren't going to let her out by herself?" Woo Hyuk demanded of Ji Hye.

"Woo Hyuk, I know that Ji Hye wasn't right but you can't really put all the blame on her," Eric said as he stepped between Woo Hyuk and Ji Hye.

"It was my fault," Ji Hye said with a whisper.  "I should have convinced her not to go.  I was�a little bit too easy on the subject."

"What could you do if I lose my sister!?  I finally found her and now I'm facing the news that I might lose her again!" Woo Hyuk yelled.

"Woo Hyuk�We're not going to lose her.  I know that we're not going to," Kang Ta said in a whisper.  He then got up.

"Where are you going, Kang Ta?" Linna asked.

"I'm going to look for Sharon."

"Where are you going to look for her?  This place is huge.  It's impossible to search every corner that there is," Ko Mi said.

"I'm not going to sit around and wait for her to show up.  What if�what if she doesn't appear and she loses her memory again like last time?" Kang Ta asked.  The rest of the people remained quiet.

"I'm going to look for her with you," Brian said.

"Me too!"  The rest of the people all then stood up and wanted to go out to look for Sharon with Kang Ta.

"I think that we better leave someone here to look out just in case Sharon comes back," Tony said.  He looked at Cindi.

"Do you mind staying here?" Tony asked her.  Cindi shook her head.

"Except I would have a nervous breakdown if you don't bring her back soon enough," Cindi said.  Tony smiled.

"I promise that we'll bring her back," Tony said.  "We�just don't know when."  Cindi nodded.

"Stay here and look out with Cindi, Lami," Hye Sung said.

"Why?" Lami demanded.  "She's my dongseng!"

"That's why you have to stay here.  She'll probably come back by herself but we're just going out to look for her just in case something happened to her," Hye Sung said.

"But�"

"Just listen to him, Lami," Miya said.  Lami looked at her.

"You have to bring her back, Miya," Lami said.  Miya nodded.

***********************************************

"Kang Ta," Jae Won said as he caught up with him.  "Don't be so hyper yet."

"What if Elizabeth got hold of her?" Kang Ta said.  Jae Won shook his head.

"I know how you feel but if you get hurt on the process, we would lose a chance of beating Elizabeth and Theodore," Min Woo said.  The rest of the people nodded.  Kang Ta looked in front of him.  He looked back at the rest of the people.

"Let's go," Kang Ta said.

***********************************************

"Lami yah.  Sit down already," Cindi said.  Lami was walking around for the last half an hour already without resting.

"I'm worried about Sharon," Lami said with a frown.

"I know.  I'm worried about her also," Cindi said with a nod.  Lami sighed.

"Why does this have to happen to her?" Lami said.

"I guess it's her life.  It would happen one day if it's destined to happen in her life.  Maybe after all of these things happen, she would lead a happier life and she would get to spend all her time with Kang Ta happily," Cindi said.

"I hope so.  It seems as if Kang Ta and her�" Lami said.  She then sighed.  "So many things are stopping them from being together that it's unfair for them."  Cindi nodded.

"I'm sure that everything would come out to be ok.  Don't worry about it.  Let's just wish that Sharon would come back earlier," Cindi said.  Lami nodded.

***********************************************

"I wish that it doesn't happen again," Yae Ji said as they looked for Sharon.  She and Miya were near the end of the group.  Miya nodded.

"I don't think that it would though.  How many times could this actually happen to a pair?" Miya asked.  Yae Ji shrugged and sighed.

"It's unfair.  What did Sharon and Kang Ta do to deserve this?" Yae Ji commented.

"I know," Miya said.

"What's the matter Kang Ta?" Hee Jun asked from the front.  Yae Ji and Miya ran up and looked at what Kang Ta had found on the floor.

"It's a knife," Kang Ta answered.  "There's blood on it.  It's almost dried."

"Isn't that the one that Sharon uses when she's going out to get the leaves of the Tears of Angels?" Holly asked.  Kang Ta nodded.

"Who's�who's blood is it?" Emily asked, a little frightened.

"I don't know," Kang Ta answered with a whisper as he shook his head.  "I don't know anymore.  Please�don't let anything happen to her again�"

"Nothing would happen to her," Julie said as she shook her head.  "I know that.  It can't.  She's went through too much already�Nothing could happen to her."

"Yeah!" Ko Mi said.  None of them sounded too sure in their voices however.

"Let's keep looking for her.  She'll come out.  I know that," Hee Jun said.  "She didn't yell at me enough yet.  She always told me that she never yelled at me enough to change me.  She's going to come back to yell at me."

"Don't let us give up yet!  We are not to give up until the final moment," Kai said.  The rest of the people nodded.

***********************************************



Chapter 34

"The skies are getting really dark," Eric commented.  Ji Hye nodded.  Eric looked at the rest of the people.  "I think that we better look for a place to rest overnight."  The rest of the people agreed.  Suddenly, Kang Ta fainted.

"Kang Ta!" Jae Won caught him just in time before he fell to the floor.

"What happened?" Jun Jin asked, worried.

"He just fainted from fatigue.  He's probably too tired and worried at the same time," Min Woo said.  Jun Jin nodded.  He then glanced over at Miya.

"I could just imagine what would happen to me," Jun Jin said.  Miya smiled and held on to his hand.

***********************************************

"I never saw this house before," Jae Won commented.

"What's the matter, Jae Won?" Gigi asked.  Jae Won shook his head.

"It's just that it's weird.  I've been living here for quite a while already but I never saw this house here before," Jae Won replied with a slight frown on his face.

"That's weird," Gigi agreed.

"I never saw it either.  But I guess this is the best that it could get to," Brian said.  The rest of the people nodded.  The group of people then went up to the house.

***********************************************

"There's seems to be no one in there," Ko Mi said after a while of knocking.

"But what if we just go in?  That would be counted as trespassing would it?" Fany asked.

"But what else are we going to do?" Holly asked.  Kai shrugged.

"Let the wolves carry us off," Kai answered.  Holly rolled her eyes.  Min Woo then placed his hand on the doorknob.

"It's not locked," Min Woo said before he pushed open the door.  The rest of the people looked at one another before entering the house with Min Woo.

"It doesn't look like an abandoned house," Hye Sung said.

"Good.  No spider webs," Lami said.  Most of the people nodded.

"Is anyone home?" Jun Jin called out.  Jae Won carefully placed Kang Ta on the chair by the table.

"This place is actually pretty big," Julie said as she looked around with the rest of the people.

"Ahem," they suddenly heard someone from the entrance.  They all turned around and found a man probably around his fifties.  They looked at him for a few minutes in shock, not knowing what to say.  Hee Jun was the first to break the silence.

"I'm sorry.  It's getting really late out there and we came up to this house.  After a while of knocking, nobody opened the door so we just came in.  I hope that you don't mind," Hee Jun said.  The man smiled and didn't answer Hee Jun.

"My daughter is a little sick right now so she couldn't open the door for you.  I went out to get some medicine for her," the man said.

"Oh.  I hope that she gets better," Linna said with a smile.  The man smiled and nodded.

"She is getting better.  It's just the end of it.  She just have to take one more cup of this thing and she'll be better by tomorrow," he said.

"Wow!  That's fast," Tony said.  The man smiled.

"There are a couple of rooms around here.  Just pick your room.  Mine is the one at the end of the hall and my daughter's is the last one on the right side of the hall," he said as he went into the kitchen.

"Weird.  But a really nice man," Dong Wan commented.  The rest of the people nodded.

***********************************************

When Kang Ta opened his eyes, he first noticed that he was in a totally new environment.

"Where am I?" Kang Ta whispered to himself.  He also noticed that none of his friends were around him.  He got up from the bed and looked around.  He felt his way toward the door for there was no light in the room.

Outside the room, the halls were lit by the candlelights that were on the chandelier that hung from the ceiling.  He turned around to the left and found one more door and there was a window that showed the forest and the moonlight.  He walked over to the window and looked out.  Midnight.  The moon had accompanied for so many years that he had learn to tell time from both the moon and the sun.  He sighed and turned to his left again.  The last door on the side that the room that he was staying in was.  He thought for a while.

"Were they all resting in here?  But why did they leave me all alone in there?" Kang Ta whispered to himself.  He then walked over to the door and opened it.  Like the room that he was staying in, the room had no lights.

"Is it time for the medicine again?  I thought that I don't have to take it until tomorrow morning," a female's voice called out.  Kang Ta froze in his spot for a while.  From behind him, a man showed up and pulled Kang Ta out of the room.

"I would really appreciate it if you didn't bother my daughter," the man said.  Kang Ta looked at him confused and almost as if there was a thousand questions that he wanted to ask him as the man closed the door.  From not too far away, a door opened and Woo Hyuk stepped out.

"Kang Ta?" Woo Hyuk questioned.  He saw the man and he immediately ran over.  He bowed to the man.  "I'm sorry.  He fainted the time when we came here so he didn't know that your daughter stayed in that room.  The man nodded.

"It's ok.  Just don't do it again," he said.  Woo Hyuk nodded and smiled.

"I promise that he won't do it again," Woo Hyuk said.  Kang Ta and Woo Hyuk watched the man walk off.  Woo Hyuk looked at Kang Ta.  "I'm glad that you woke up."

"What happened?" Kang Ta asked.

"We were looking for Sharon and you fainted from fatigue," Woo Hyuk answered.  Kang Ta nodded.  "And then we came up to this house.  The owner, the man that was just talking to us, was nice and decided that we were allowed to stay here overnight."

"Oh," Kang Ta answered.  "Did�you people find Sharon yet?"  Woo Hyuk shook his head and sighed.

"It was getting really late and we could hardly see anything anymore," Woo Hyuk answered.  Kang Ta nodded.  He then looked back at the door that he was just pulled out of by the man.  Woo Hyuk looked at where Kang Ta was looking.  "That's the room that the man's daughter is staying.  According to her father, she was sick for a while already and she really can't be disturbed.  He said that she would probably be better by tomorrow."

"His�daughter?" Kang Ta asked.  Woo Hyuk nodded.

***********************************************

The next morning.

The people were at the dining table.  They had wanted to leave in the morning to look for Sharon but the man insisted that they eat breakfast before leaving.

"He's really nice," Fany commented as he looked toward the kitchen.  Cindi nodded.

"You hardly see people like that anymore.  He was nice enough to let us stay here overnight and now he's treating us breakfast," Cindi said.  A little while later, they were all eating at the table with the man.  The man looked at Kang Ta.

"Do you mind if I ask you a question, young man?" the man asked.  Everyone looked up at him.  Kang Ta saw that he was looking at him so he shook his head.

"No.  Go ahead," Kang Ta answered.  The man nodded.

"May I ask, are you troubled by the problem of the Tears of Angels?" the man asked.

***********************************************



NOTE: The acupuncture moves are all made up in here.  I don't know any acupuncture as of right now (not sure about the future�lol�).  But right now, I don�t know any acupuncture.  (Some of you might be laughing "Why in the world is chilhyun1979 putting this?  Everyone knows that this is a fic and none of this is true."  The point is that I heard of people that actually believe things that are said in a fiction and actually try them in real life.  I don�t want people taking the acupuncture things in my fic for real and then trying it on someone.  IT'S DANGEROUS AND NOT EVERYONE COULD DO ACUPUNCTURE!!!  YOU NEED A LICENSE TO DO ACUPUNCTURE!!!!!�--;;;;  I think most people know that�I just had to be cautious about it though =).  Enjoy.

Chapter 35

Kang Ta looked at him in silence for a while before answering.

"How did you know?" Kang Ta asked.  The man smiled.

"I can say that no one in this world is better in healing than me," the man said as he put down his fork and knife.  "I could just tell it out by looking at your face."  Kang Ta smiled.

"Yes.  I am a victim of the Tears of Angels," Kang Ta answered.  The man nodded.

"Have you tried any kind of ways to get rid of it yet?" the man asked.  Kang Ta nodded.

"His�Someone from Island of Medications once tried to heal him but wasn't really successful with it," Woo Hyuk said.  The man nodded.

"With the leaves of the Tears of Angels plant," the man said.  The rest of the people looked at him momentarily in surprise and then nodded.  He smiled.  "That's the way to treat it.  But why didn't he get healed?" he said to himself.  He then looked back at Kang Ta.  "You took another kind of medicine with it?"  Kang Ta nodded.  "The burn heal?"  Kang Ta nodded again.  The man then nodded as well.

"Then you have to use another way to get the Tears of Angels out of you for once and for all," he said.  He looked at Jae Won, Min Woo, and Brian.  "You three also got cured of the Tears of Angels.  But there's some of it that is still in your body.  To be completely free of the Tears Of Angels, you would have to go through further process."

"How are we suppose to do that?" Brian asked.  The man smiled.

"If you don�t mind staying here, I'll help you with the problem," the man said.  The other people looked at the four guys gleefully.

"This is a great opportunity, Jae Won!  You could get rid of it once and for all," Gigi said happily.  Jae Won looked at the man.

"How should we pay you back?" Jae Won asked.  The man smiled again.

"I'll tell you when everything is healed," the man said.

"But�Not saying that you're a bad man and we don't think that you are�but what if you tell them to do something that's�" Linna started.

"Illegal, something against morals, etc.?" the man finished for her.  Linna turned slightly red and nodded.  "Don't worry.  I won't tell them to do anything that would cost them their lives, illegal, against their morals, or something similar to that."  Linna smiled.

"But I have to find my sister," Woo Hyuk said.

"If she is destined to come back, she would appear no matter if you look for her or not," the man said.  He then got up from his chair.  "Excuse me.  I have to take a look at my daughter."  He then walked into his daughter's room.

***********************************************

"The first session would be acupuncture and to take some of the things on the stem of the Tears of Angels," the man said as he looked at Kang Ta and the other three.

"The things on the stem?" Brian asked.  The man nodded.  From the plant that was beside him - the Tears of Angels - he took a stem off and showed the people.  He then took a knife out and shaved some of the things off of it.

"You see that clear thing on the table?" the man asked.  Everyone nodded.  "That's the part that they have to take in."

"What's with this and the acupuncture?" Holly asked.  The man smiled.  He looked at Kang Ta.

"I don't think that you mind if I tell you that this would be done on the heart, would you?" the man said.  Kang Ta shook his head.

"Death is better than living on forever," Kang Ta said.  The man smiled.

"I guessed that you would have said that," the man said.  He then motioned for Kang Ta lie down and open his shirt.  He took out some needles and applied them in his chest near the heart.  As soon as the needle went in, he immediately took it out.

"Why�I thought that you have to leave it in for a while," Yae Ji commented.  The man smiled again.

"You would see why I did that soon enough," the man said.  After a few minutes, people saw a look of agony on Kang Ta's face and he turned to the side and started to throw up.

"Kang Ta!" everyone yelled out.  The man held them back.

"Let him throw up," the man said.  They looked at the things that Kang Ta was throwing up.  The things that was coming out was all black and there was occasionally some chunks of black coming out with it.  After a while, Kang Ta finally calmed down.  The man looked at him.  "How do you feel now?"  Kang Ta shook his head.

"I don't know," Kang Ta answered.  "I feel as if my heart is a little lighter?"  The man nodded.

"Good.  That means that my predictions about how to heal you is right," the man said.  He then got up and went over to the Tears of Angels and took some of the clear things off.  He went over to the table, got a cup, filled it with water, and threw the things in there.  He took it up to Kang Ta.  "Drink it."  Kang Ta took it over and drank it.  "What's the feelings now?" he asked after Kang Ta finished drinking the water.

"I feel a feeling of coolness coming from my stomach and up to the heart.  The man smiled and nodded again.

"Those are good signs.  Get some rest now.  I'll do more of the acupuncture before it's time to sleep," the man said as he walked out of the door and left Kang Ta in the room.

***********************************************

Kang Ta held on to the side of the wall.  He had just finished the acupuncture and was suppose to be in his room sleeping like the rest of the people.  Brian, Min Woo, and Jae Won immediately fell asleep after their acupuncture because of the tiring process of the heart.  Kang Ta looked ahead of him.  He had to find out.  Tonight, he was going to find out the thing that was a mystery to his mind for two nights already.  He then took another step.

"I can't let myself fail this," Kang Ta said to himself as he looked to the left.  He had promised himself that he would do this tonight.  He was determined to uncover the mystery.

***********************************************



Chapter 36

He finally reached the room that the man's daughter stayed in.  He was sure that the man was still asleep.  He slowly placed his hand on the doorknob and turned it.  When he looked in, it was the same as last time - no lights.  The only source of light in the room was from the moonlight through the window.  Someone was standing in front of the window.

"Sharon�" Kang Ta managed to call out.  The person at the window immediately turned around.

"�"

"Is it you?" Kang Ta whispered.

"�Kang�Ta�" she called out softly before she ran over to him and hugged him.  "It's you.  It really is you�I thought�I thought that I heard wrong when I heard your voice this morning�I thought�I thought that I would never see you again."

"Sharon�" Kang Ta said as he hugged her.  "I knew it was you�I knew it was you the day I heard you voice when I walked through the door�"

"Kang Ta�why are you here?" Sharon asked as she looked up at his face.  Kang Ta touched her face gently.

"I was looking for you," Kang Ta said.  Sharon smiled gently.  She then looked at him again.

"Frederick!  He could help you heal your Tears of Angels problem," Sharon said as she made her way to the door.  Kang Ta pulled her back.

"If Frederick is the owner of this house, he's helping me heal that problem now," Kang Ta said.  Sharon's eyes immediately lit up with happiness.

"Really?" Sharon asked.  Kang Ta nodded.  He then grabbed on to the nearest object, the chair, for he was about to fall down.  Sharon then frowned as she helped him.  "Is it painful and everything?"  Kang Ta smiled and shook his head.

"Not as painful as not being able to see you," Kang Ta said.  Sharon smiled gently.  Kang Ta then thought of something.  "Isn't Frederick the father of Theodore?"  Sharon nodded.  "Then let's get out of here," Kang Ta said as he grabbed her hand.

"It's ok, Kang Ta.  Frederick is not like Theodore.  He doesn�t approve of me marrying Theodore after he found out that I�I have someone else in my mind," Sharon said.  Kang Ta looked at her.

"Are you sure?" Kang Ta asked carefully.  Sharon nodded.

"I'm positive," Sharon said.  She then helped Kang Ta over to the bed.  "Now, get some rest."

"What about you?" Kang Ta asked.  Sharon pulled a chair over.

"I could rest in the chair," Sharon said.

"That's tiring," Kang Ta said.  "I'll change spots with you."  Sharon then pushed him back into the bed.

"I told you to rest," Sharon said with a smile.  "I'm fine.  Frederick already fixed most of my problems already.  You're the one who's sick right now."

"What happened with you?" Kang Ta asked.

"My sicknesses?" Sharon asked.  Kang Ta nodded.  "It wasn't really a sickness.  It's more of a wound.  I stabbed myself in the heart when Elizabeth and Theodore threatened to take me back with them to the Island.  Luckily, the knife didn't go far enough as to hurt the heart but it hurt some of the major blood vessels.  Frederick spent some time to heal me."

"But didn't Theodore and Elizabeth�"

"They were scared of Frederick.  With Frederick here, we have nothing to worry about," Sharon said.  Kang Ta nodded.  "Now, enough questions.  You have to get some sleep.  According to what I know, you need to do more of that acupuncture and eat more of the medicine tomorrow."  Kang Ta smiled and closed his eyes.

***********************************************

"Frederick�" Sharon called out as she helped Kang Ta to his room.  Frederick looked up and stopped for a few minutes.  Finally, he smiled slightly.

"He is the guy that you were talking about to me, wasn't he?" Frederick asked.  Sharon smiled and nodded gently.

"Sharon?" a voice called out gently from behind Sharon and Kang Ta.  They turned around and found the rest of the people there.

"Hi people!" Sharon said.

"Sharonie!" Yae Ji yelled as she ran over and jumped on Sharon as Sharon laughed.

"We missed you so much, Sharon!" Emily said.  Sharon smiled.

"Same here," Sharon said.  She then looked at Woo Hyuk.  "Oppa�"

"Sharon�" Woo Hyuk said as he walked up to her.  "Don't ever do this to us anymore."  Sharon smiled and nodded.  She then looked at the people.

"I have another news to tell you people," Sharon said.  The people then looked at her.  "I�recovered all of my memories."  The people then let out a loud cheer.

"Then you have to tell us what happened at the island that Celine took you to and the Island of Medications," Miya said.  Sharon nodded.

"I will," Sharon promised.

***********************************************

"Well, you know how Celine locked me in the cellar with the snow and everything?" Sharon asked.  "There happened to be a trapdoor in there or something.  I guess the constructor got out like that also."

"Constructor?" Andy asked.  Sharon nodded.

"I tripped over something on the seemingly flat surface.  It turned out to be a piece of rock or something with a note.  The note said that he was the constructor of the cellars in the island.  When he, along with the other builders, were finished with that place, Celine locked all of them in there, each in a different room, through a scheme," Sharon said.

"I should have known that Celine was never an innocent girl," Brian said as he shook his head.  Jae Won patted him on his shoulders.

"He had already guessed what Celine was doing with these cellars since there were rumors all over the place that Celine lived at, at that time.  He pitied the girls that she was going to harm so he decided to build a little tunnel in the cellar, and whoever was lucky enough to get into that particular cellar and find that tunnel, she could get out.  He was lucky enough to get into that cellar as well.  He returned after he got out to put a dead body in there so that Celine would think that he's dead.  Among the skeletons and things, he placed this note for the fortunate person," Sharon said.  "I got out through that tunnel.  When I came out, I came up to this place that seemed like the jungle."

"You�wouldn't happen to meet up with this ratverdillo would you?" Eric asked with a raised eyebrow.

"What is that?" Sharon asked.

"This thing that is a combination of a rat, a beaver, and an armadillo," Ji Hye said.  Sharon nodded.

"Yeah.  I saw one of those.  It was running after me but then this thing that looked like a lion tried to pounce on me but pounced on that thing instead," Sharon said.

"Thank God," Kang Ta said.  Sharon smiled at him.

"Anyways, I went to the shore and there happened to be a ship passing by," Sharon said.  "They tried to help me but then there was this terrible storm that night and the ship wrecked.  I got washed up to the shoreline of the Island."

"But how did you lose your memory?" Woo Hyuk asked.

"I already lost my memory when I woke up so I suppose that I knocked my head against a rock or something when I was on the ocean," Sharon said.  "And the rest of the story you know, right?"  The people nodded.

"I wonder how many girls died in the hands of Celine?" Kai said.

"How about just put it as people?" Julie said.  She then glanced at Brian.  "Sorry Brian oppa."

"It's ok," Brian said.  "It's true that she was evil."

***********************************************

"Ok.  So now Celine's dead, Theodore and Elizabeth got kicked back to the Island, what else is there to do?" Miya said as she plopped herself down on the sofa at the hotel.

"Marry you off," Tony said as he smacked her on the head.  Miya turned around and gave Tony a death glare.

"You keep your hands off of my head.  If I turn stupid, I'm going to tell Jinnie to go after you," Miya said as she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Oh my.  Jinnie this, Jinnie that.  How about I marry you off to him?" Tony said.  Miya then turned red.

"An Seung Ho, I'm going to kill you!" Miya said.  Jun Jin smiled and pulled her down before she could go after the escaping monkey.

"Weren't you just discussing about what else is there to do now that everything is ok?" Jun Jin asked.  Miya nodded.  Jun Jin hinted at Sharon and Kang Ta who were not too far off talking.  "How about marrying them off?"  Miya looked at Jun Jin.

"Jinnie�we have to get Woo Hyuk to decide that," Miya said.

"Then what are we waiting for?  Let's look for him!" Jun Jin said.  The two of them then jumped up and went to look for Woo Hyuk.

***********************************************



Is that the end?  Nope.  Here's the epilogue - as I usually end my fanfics with one ^_^.

Epilogue

Six months later.

Kang Ta and Sharon looked at the stars from the balcony of the hotel that Tony and Eric had opened.  This was the second hotel that they had opened.

"I can't believe that I'm finally with you," Kang Ta said as he sighed.  Sharon smiled.

"After so many things?" Sharon asked.  Kang Ta nodded.

"Thank God that nothing happened again," Kang Ta said.  Sharon nodded.

"Theodore!  You better give me an explanation of why that woman was on your bed or else I would never let you on the bed again!  No.  I will never let you be alive anymore!" they heard a familiar female voice said from below.  Sharon and Kang Ta looked at one another and then looked down.

"Celine!  Trust me!  She had nothing to do with me!  We're married for five months already and you don't believe me?" a familiar male's voice yelled back.

"Yeah right!  Your mother already warned me about how you like to fool around with women!" she said.  The two finally came into view as the male ran with the female close behind him with a knife in her hand.

"Theodore�" Sharon whispered.

"Celine�" Kang Ta said below his breath.

"I stopped!  I promise you that I stopped!" the guy that looked extremely similar to Theodore yelled back.

"That's what all you men say!  Get back here!" the female that looked at like Celine yelled back.  Sharon and Kang Ta's eyes followed them until they were finally out of sight.

"What�was that all about?" Sharon asked Kang Ta as she started to laugh.  Kang Ta shrugged and gave out an uneasy laugh.  When they stopped, they looked at one another and looked toward the never-ending skies.
