Chapter 81
...
...
The kidnapper’s face was covered with blood, and Eungyu continued to beat the crap out of the guy as if he were drunk in it.
He looked up at me and saw that I had my hand in my pocket, he shook his head.
“…don’t, I said I’d take care of you, didn’t I…”
....
....
The other 3 guys saw their friend on their ground and all of a sudden, ran after Eungyu. It felt like hammers were pounding my head. One of the guys was pounding at me with a stick and I could feel blood creeping out of my mouth.
Unbeknownst to myself, I grabbed for my knife again and was about to stab the guy in the chest when Eungyu’s hand grabbed my wrist.
“…girls don’t do stuff like this…guys do it for them…”
Eungyu took the knife from me and sliced at the guy wearing the leopard print shirt. Blood flowed little by little out of his wrist.
“FAWK! YOU LITTLE SON OF A B!TCH!”
Exhausted, Eungyu collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily and leopard print lifted his foot to kick Eungyu, and I quickly covered him.
Right then…
I heard the sound of sirens blaring around the corner.
“Fawk! Hey! Hurry, hurry! Start the car!”
Right before he was about to put down his foot, he ran to the car. Thank god for those police.
And…
......
Out of the driver’s seat, I heard leopard print’s laughter filled voice flow out of the drivers seat.
“Got this request from your friend Kang Heewon. Won’t be too long before your friend gets arrested. Haha.”
..
….I didn’t want to hear him…
And I couldn’t believe him.
Leaning on Eungyu was still gasping for breath on the ground, I yelled after them. Eungyu gently raised his hand and pat my head comfortingly.
..
The police car passed us and started chasing after the white van.
In our small neighborhood, all the front gates were opened and the lights were on because of Sohyun unnie’s and my loud screaming and yelling.
Eungyu’s hair was matted with blood and sweat, his two eyes swollen beyond recognition…but he was comforting Sohyun unnie and myself with his soft singing…
..
......
“Tell me!!! I can’t not believe this!! How can you NOT see the damn license plate?! It was right there in front of you!”
....
......
It’s already been a few hours and now it’s 12 in the afternoon….
Eungyu and I were seated in front of an officer at the police station. Sohyun unnie was taken to the hospital because she was hit with shock earlier in the morning.
As if we’d promised each other something, Eungyu and I didn’t open out mouth at all and remained silent.
“Fine, okay. I understand you didn’t get the license plate. Look at this piece of paper. Does this have to do with anything?”
....
......
The officer pulled out a piece of paper on top of the desk and showed it to us…the two of us remained silence.
.....
........
He crushed the cigarette out of the ashtray and started scratching his head.
“What the hell, are you two saying you’ll help us or you won’t!”
“…nothing happened to any of us, isn’t that good enough for you? We’ll just think that some bastards were drunk and let it go.”
The officer gave an annoyed sigh.
“You think everything goes away just because you two say nothing happened?! This has already been alerted to all other stations! And it’s up to us officers to find them! Got that you little bastards?!”
.....
......
“Then find them on your own, there’s enough officers in Korea.”
Eungyu said glaring at the officer with a swollen face and walking out the station, and I quickly followed after him.
“Crazy bastards, how could they beat kids younger than them so hard?” <- - Me
“They turned you into Hyungpal.”
“If I’m Hyungpal you’re Jungbin.
(My face was swollen as well.)
Eungyu nodded his head as if he agreed with what I’d just said.
“…hey, where’s Darky?”
“I don’t know.”
“…Eungyu…let’s trust Heewon…”
“Yeah.”
.....
.......
With one hand, Eungyu rubbed his face and the two of us stood at the end of the street under the flashing red hand. We quietly waited for the green light to flash so that we could walk across. Eungyu and I were standing at least a meter apart.
…it seemed as if he really was going to let me go, he didn’t even look at me.
Kang Heewon, I’m trusting you. It’s not like there’s only one Kang Heewon in Korea. There must be a few more.
I trust you…
…I’ll trust you…
Right then…
A blue motorcycle passed us with a little flag hanging off the back. As it passed us, I read a character.
“Looking?”
???
Another motorcycle passed us, but this time the motorcycle was red. There was another flag hanging in the back.
“For?”
All the attention on the street was on the motorcycles.
As the red motorcycle disappeared.
‘Looking for?’
Looking for what…?
I stared after the two motorcycles.
Right then…
A black motorcycle came up, and stopped right in front of me as the lights turned red.
Like the other two in front of us, this motorcycle had another flag in the back.
“Pupu.”
Under ‘Pupu’ there was an ugly picture of a cat.
And there was Jaegwang in front of me…chewing on a straw and patting his bangs down.
“YOON JAEGWANG!”
Chapter 82
As if he were caught by surprise, he spit the caramel, not a straw, onto the ground. He rubbed his red face and fearlessly, I left Eungyu and ran onto the middle of the road.
“You crazy bastard! You leave the house because of a damn cat?!”
“Damn cat?! Pupu’s my little sister you b!tch!”
“You’re worried about a flippin’ cat?! Don’t you see that my face is swollen?!”
As if he didn’t care, Jaegwang took one look over at my face and then turned his head to face the signal.
“You can’t cry or look cute like Pupu.”
“Yoon Jaegwang, do I look like I’m joking?”
“Hey it’s green! I’ll go home after I fine Pupu, so better guard the house!”
He stepped on the accelerator, and started to go forward.
“Sohyun unnie’s dying!”
.....
........
+SQREEEEEEEE!!!!+
The black motorcycle he was on stopped abruptly causing the cars behind him to honk like mad. Ignoring all the curses from the other cars, Jaegwang jumped off his cycle.
...
.....
.......
After I told him everything that had happened, he cursed under his breath and with his eyes filled with tears got onto his cycle.
“…she’ll be at the hospital, right?”
“Yeah.”
+VROOOOOOOOOM VROOOOOOOOOOOOM!!+
In less than a second he was gone, but only after yelling…
“FAWK!!!! I’M SO EMBARASSED!!!!”
Letting out a loud sigh, I went over to Eungyu again and we got onto a taxi.
“…here.”
As we got closer to our house, Eungyu handed The Necklace over to me. The tear was sown carefully and neatly.
“Did Darky sew this?”
+Nod Nod+
“…it’s not Heewon, right? Eungyu, it can’t be Heewon right?”
+Nod Nod+
“It wouldn’t be him, I’m going to keep trusting that it won’t be him. You trust him too right?”
“I’ll trust whatever you trust…”
The taxi stopped in front of our house and after handing the money to the driver, Eungyu stepped out and walked towards his house..
...
In front of our front gate was Heewon. He quickly ran over to me and grabbed my hands tightly.
“What happened to you face?!”
....
......
“…ooh...nothing..”
“Did you get hit?! Huh?!”
As Heewon’s voice got louder, so did his grip on my hand.
And…
......
While rubbing his swollen face, Eungyu looked at Heewon’s hand holding mine and smiled sadly.
...
It was then when Heewon realized Eungyu was there and he slowly let go of my hands and looked at Eungyu.
“…you can have her…just keep her…Kang Heewon…you can smile all on your own and you can be happy by yourself…^_^.”
......
........
He turned around slowly and opened the front gate to his house saying words that I didn’t want to hear…words that I couldn’t understand…words that I didn’t WANT to understand…
….
Heewon gave a long sigh, and with his warm hands, pat my swollen face lightly.
“…don’t cry…what am I supposed to do if you cry? I can’t even make you feel better, please…don’t cry…”
Heewon’s hands rested on my face, and my tears flew over them.
“Heewon…you got what you wanted now. I can be by you know, Eungyu’s gone away. He really let me go…”
“…but I caught you didn’t I?”
....
........
“…yeah…yeah…”
He looked at me for a while and the started running somewhere. He came back a few moments later with some ointment in his hand, his hair dampened with sweat.
“Rub this on. If you ‘re going to be my girlfriend, you have to look pretty. Put it on quickly, I’ll ask you the reason next time.”
“…okay.”
Now’s the end…
…no, I mean the start.
That night, around 11.
The front gate closed with a loud bang.
-_-..
Mom and Dad quickly ran out towards the sound.
.......
........
I ran after them and I saw Jaegwang slightly drunk leaning on the frame for support and defiantly.
...
.....
“You bastard!!”
Right when dad’s kendo stick was about to slam down on Jaegwang’s head, he grabbed the fast moving stick in mid-air and stared at me with scary eyes.
“…leopard print? Haha…leopard print? Yoon Jungwon, I heard you were at the police station sticking up for those fawking kidnappers…haha…”
“What are you talking about…”
“Did you not tell them because Kang Heewon did it? …stupid b!tch…”
“…what are you saying? You’re not thinking straight, stop it.”
“You said some bastards dressed in leopard print shirts kidnapped you. That those bastards are the ones who kidnapped Sohyun…”
...
“…yeah. What about it…”
“…what about it? What about it…?”
...
......
Jaegwang’s face changed drastically, it was Jaegwang’s face that I’d seen for the first time in three years. His scary face I hadn’t seen in three years…
Even dad’s scared of that face…
...
“If I saw him walking around with some guy dressed in a leopard print shirt…how long are you going to go around sticking up for him…huh?”
He said…
......
..........
............
“KANG HEEWON!!!!”
Jaegwang’s loud yell filled the neighborhood and I closed my eyes…
Chapter 83
“What’s that supposed to mean? Jaegwang, what are you saying?”
Mom asked, starting to panic and grabbing his shoulders. Silently, Jaegwang glared at me.
“Answer me! You stupid troublemaker!”
Dad’s kendo stick slammed on top of Jaegwang’s head. As if he didn’t feel the pain, Jaegwang glared at dad.
“I’m mad, you know.”
“What’d you say you bastard…? Are you threatening your own father right now?!”
Dad slammed his stick down for a second time.
Jaegwang closed his eyes and threw his little flag on the ground.
“I heard from Sohyun, Yoon Jungwon, that those bastards said that Kang Heewon told them to kidnap you. She said that you wouldn’t be able to turn him in because it was Kang Heewon.”
“It’s not Heewon…Heewon didn’t do that.”
“Fawk. Get me the phone, I’m going to call the fawking police.”
Dad let out a laugh and tightened his grip on his stick.
“Yoon Jaegwang, what did you just say?”
“It wasn’t meant towards you!!!”
“I know that, but say it again.”
“Jaegwang loves his daddy very much. <_<.”
I don’t think I will ever understand him. Dad struck Jaegawng with his stick over and over again.
“Jungwon….Kang Heewon? How you go around, letting him get away with him? …I can’t believe he’d do something like that…”
Mom said in a low and stern voice.
“No, mom. No, it’s not Heewon. Just don’t ruin his life more than it’s already ruined!!!”
I said yelling at mom, who didn’t know anything about everything. I even forgot that our family motto was ‘yelling at your parents is the road to death.’
Mom stared at me with a blank face, and I picked up Dad’s kendo stick on the ground and sped out the front gate. And I started storming down the neighborhood.
I have to trust him…I have to trust him…
I didn’t trust him last time because of Jungbin, if everyone in the world points their fingers at him, I’m the one who has to smack them away….
…I have too…
+Next Morning+
School.
Yoona and Jiyoung have been staring intently at me, and to get them off my back, I’ve been over acting like mad and trying to look happy.
“Something’s fishy. Somethings up with this b1tch.” <- - Jiyoung.
“Hahahaahha!! See the thing is!! That stupid little bastard left the house to find his damn cat!!!!”
“You’ve told us that six times already.”
“Really? Well, the you can listen to it for a seventh time.”
“…hey, Yoon Jungwon aren’t you going to get back together with Eungyu?” <- - Yoona.
Fawking b!tch… <_<
Right when I thought I was getting somewhere. <_<
“Hey, do you want go sing karaoke for the first time in a while?! Karaoke!”
“Oh ho! She’s changing the topic!”
“I’ll pay!”
“…do you have money?”
“Of course I do.”
Wait, I can’t remember if I brought my money today, blah, I must have put it in my backpack.
I quickly grabbed their hands and pulled them to the closest Karaoke place after school.
“I’ll buy the beer then!!”
“We’re wearing our uniforms.”
“It’s fine, we can go to the store Sunyoung unnie works at.”
“…let’s just drink on Saturday at the pojangmacha.”
“No! Beer is calling for me right now!”
If we get caught, we’ll be taken to the station… <_<
But Yoona, already drunk on having something to drink ran over to a store and a few seconds later hand two plastic bags filled with beer.
It felt good hanging out with my friends.
We walked up to the karaoke place on the 2nd floor of a tall building and a mean looking ahjumma told us to go to the 6th room.
The two b!tches grabbed for the song books and started punching in songs like crazy. -_-
Yoona pulled up her long waist length hair into a messy bun and turned the mike upside down warming up to sing. And Jiyoung who was just fiddling with the remote leaned over to me and started whispering.
“Heard you’re going out with Kang Heewon.”
“What?”
“You b!tch, what are you going to do if Yonna finds out? There’s like a billion rumors at Shin Eungyu and Kang Heewon’s schools that you cheated on Eungyu for Kang Heewon.”
“…well, it’s not exactly wrong…”
‘Shin Eungyu and Kang Heewon’s stalkers are all out to get you. If you see any girls with plastic bags on their head run like mad.” s
“….”
Black bags?
Is she saying that there are girls that run around with plastic bags on their heads??
There are rumors all over? It won’t be long until it spreads to my school…
As I was thinking about Sin Eungyu and Heewon, the two girls were starting to sing some weird Trot song.
“OHH!!! OH!!!”
Yoona and Jiyoung were already drunk on the beer and the singing, and the two took off their uniform shirts and started waving them around.
I left the room to pay for the singing.
“15.”
“…here…uh…oops….”
“Are you playing with me?”
“…huh? I’m sure I had money….Yoona! Jiyoung!”
.....
........
.......
Chapter 84
.....
........
.......
“Bite those bags!!!” <- - B!tchy owner lady…
“We’ll bring the money! Why do we have to bite our backpacks!”
“Then do you want to me to call and tell the police you had beer?!”
“Of course not!!!”
“Clean! Clean! And you! With the long hair, go get money!”
In hot hands were rags, in our mouths our backpacks. Jiyoung and I were busily cleaning the floor. Yoona stormed out the door to get the money.
You guys are gonna forgive me right? T_T
For ten minutes Jiyoung and I continued to scrub the floor, and I wanted to beat the lady sitting in her chair and cackling at the jokes made on TV.
“AHJUMA!”
“WHAT!”
“Why do we have to hold our bags in our mouths!!”
“I’m going to alert the police that you drank! “
“You can’t!”
What the hell…T_T
Those two are going to kill me tomorrow. T_T
I’m just lucky there’s nothing in my bag, I’m just thankful my teeth haven’t fallen out yet.
Right then…
....
......
The door opened, and in came Yoona.
Yoona! T_T
....
......
“Huh? Jungwon unnie?”
Sh!t.
I dropped the bag I was biting on the ground and turned around. There was Nari, she ran over and looked at me pitying.
“It is you! What are you doing here? Are you working here? O_O .”
“…long time no see.”
“I know, unnie are you working here with your friends? Is it okay to wear your uniforms?”
Please! Get lost!!!
And…
“…two hours please…”
Eungyu had come to sing karaoke with Nari…
“Room 3.”
“Shin Nari, let’s go in.”
“Okay. Unnie, I’ll see you around, uh, have fun cleaning?”
Nari followed Eungyu into the room and closed the door behind her.
...
He saw me like this…
With my bag in my mouth and in my hands a rag.
How embarrassing…
The day after we break up, he sees me like this…
“Get those bags in your mouth!”
The lady yelled and I felt my temper gauges start to fill up.
“Call the damn police! My name’s Yoon Jungwon so do whatever you want!”
I got up and threw the rag on the ground, I picked up my bag, glared at the lady and left the fawking place. Jiyoung quickly ran after me.
I was stomping down the stairs as hard as I could.
“What the hell. Shin Eungyu met someone new already?”
“…they knew each other before.”
“Oh my gosh, she acts like she’s queen of the world because she has big eyes. They looks as if they were gonna pop out!”
“She’s a good kid, you always talk sh!t about people who are prettier than you.”
“Yoon Jungwon, I’m not just saying this cause you’re my friend, but you’re a lot better looking that her!”
Jiyoung yelled pounding my back a couple times.
“Did you want to hit me that much?”
“Obviously.”
“Fine, I’ll get hit, so hit me as much as you want.”
“Wow, but Shin Eungyu is so hot. If you were going to dump him you should have given him to me. If a guy that looked like that told me that they loved me I’d die. He didn’t tell you that he loved you did he?”
“…no…”
....
…there really wasn’t now that I think about it…
He didn’t tell me that he loved me…
I haven’t …but you haven’t either…
There were a lot of things that we didn’t get to do…
+That Night+
I slowly pushed over the front gate and walked in.
The necklace wasn’t around Eungyu’s neck…
…I still have the knife and necklace you gave me in my pocket…
…I don’t even have anymore tears…
As soon as I opened the door, I saw mom and dad greet me with grim faces.
“…I’m home.”
“….”
“Where’s Jaegwang?”
“With the young lady next door.”
“…okay…”
I was about to walk past the living room up and up the stairs when mom slowly called after me…
“Jungwon…”
“…yeah.”
“…I called the police…”
“…yeah.”
"........"
“WHAT!! YOU DID WHAT?! YOU CALLED THE POLICE! WHY!”
I stormed down the stairs I’d gone up and I tripped on the third stair. Ow, I think I broke my toe.
....
Ow.
God. Why is everything so complicated…
For a while, I clutched my toe in pain…
...
“ARE YOU OKAY?!”
Dad and mom asked running over to me.
“OW!”
“I think it’s broken, let’s go to the hospital!”
“Mom, you called the police?! WHY?!”
“…”
“Who, who!!! Heewon? You’re joking right? It’s not Heewon right?!”
“…he’s being inspected right now.”
“MOM!”
“…I had to…”
Why?
Why is Heewon at the police station again…
The place he hates the most is the police station….
…why is he there…
I slowly pushed myself up, and I hopped on my uninjured foot to the door.
“Where are you going!”
“Why the hell did you do that! Why!”
I pushed open the door…how am I supposed to go out like this right now…
I limped, ignoring the pain, and behind me mom and dad rushed out.
At the front door, I ran into Eungyu and Nari. Her cheeks were red, and she looked slightly drunk.
“Unnie…I’m sorry…hehe…I’m sorry…”
I passed them and I went to catch a taxi…
....
Eungyu quietly looked down at my foot.
“Jungwon! Yoon Jungwon!”
Mom yelled running after me barefoot.
“Get away from me, I swear to God I don’t want to ever see you again!”
I was waving like crazy towards the street and instead of a taxi, a black car stopped in front of me,
“Hey, aren’t you Yoona’s friend?”
It was the guy Yoona introduced me to a while ago. The one I went to the Live Café with. I was so happy to see him at this moment.
“Yeah1 I am!”
“Is someone chasing after you? What are you in such a hurry for? “
“Take me to the police station please!”
“Huh?”
....
.........
I glared at my mom and got into the passengers seat.
“Hurry! Hurry! The police station!”
“Why! What is it! Is it some pervert!? Huh? Is it?! A thief!”
“Step on it, dammit!!!”
“…O_O…”
The car quickly started off and outside the window, I met eye contact with Eungyu…
...
Chapter 85.
The car quickly started off.
“Just go! Don’t stop at the light!”
The guy glared at me.
“You going to pay for my ticket then?”
“Go! Hurry~! Go!”
“…*grumble grumble*…”
The guy sighed heavily.
“How’s Yoona?”
“Go! Hurry, go!”
“…<_< …”
The guy finally arrived at the police station.
“Get out.”
I unbelted myself and slammed the door behind me and ran into the police station. I pushed open the door with all my strength.
What I saw was Heewon sitting in a chair near a corner…my left my legs wobble.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked exhausted.
I slowly walked over to him, and when he looked up to see who it was, he slowly turned his head away.
“…Heewon…”
....
.......
“Sorry, I’m so sorry, mom must’ve have made a mistake. I’m sorry, I’ll apologize for her.”
I felt something poke my arm.
…
“What the hell.”
One of the officers I hate the most at this station said poking me with a small smirk on his face.
“Let Heewon go, hurry. It was all a misunderstanding, hurry and let Heewon go.”
“What’s up with the kids these days, so rude. Hey, Kang Heewon, you tell her.”
.....
.......
….?
I stared at Heewon with wide eyes.
“…tell me what?”
“…I did it…”
....
......
“…what?”
“I said I did it…leave…”
“…what are you saying? What are you doing?”
“Hey squirt, are you deaf? He said he arranged it all!!”
The fat officer yelled at me impatiently.
Ha…haha…
I can’t believe this, I was standing ground laughing for a while…
“You think this is your home? Tsk, stupid bastard, arranging a kidnapping. Hey, where are those bastards you hired? The longer you drag it, the more you’ll get exhausted, so just make my job easier and tell me.”
....
.....
“Heewon, you’re joking right? It’s not you, Kang Heewon, what are you doing, let’s go. Get up, you look really tired, I’ll walk you home and then you can go to sleep.”
With my shaking hand, I grabbed his colds ones, as soon as I took them, he pulled them away.
“Kang Heewon, it’s not you. It’s never been you, hurry and tell me. Just say something, tell me it’s not true. Please?”
Finally his black eyes met my tear filled ones.
“Nod or something, it’s not you, you fawking bastard, just say it’s not you.”
He remained silent…
Silently, he stared at me with pained eyes…just stared…
“Hey, get you.”
Fatty said hitting my head.
“Let Heewon go.”
“What’d you just say?”
“I’ll take back what my mom did, so let him go…”
“Hahaha, do you really want me to hit you?”
“He and I joke around like this a lot!!! A hella lot! He’s just joking that he planned all of that so fawking let Heewon go!”
“Hey, you think this is a joke?! Those bastards have already run away and he’s confessed already that he planned it! Got that?! That’s 3 years in prison!!!”
“He’s my boyfriend! You think he’s crazy?! You think he’s the person who planned it?! Evidence, you have any evidence that you did it?!”
“Evidence? What if I say I do!”
“What is it huh?! What do you have?!”
“That Sohyun lady heard them say it was Kang Heewon!!! He even met with a guy wearing a leopard print shirt!!!”
“You think he’s the only Kang Heewon in Korea?! You think there was only one person in this area that wore a leopard print anything?!”
“Then do you have any evidence that it’s NOT him?! Anyways, he already confessed to his crime!”
I impatiently let out a deep breath and grabbed Heewon’s shoulders tightly.
“Tell him it’s not you! It’s not you, what’s wrong with you!!! What are you doing this for, why are you trying to ruin your life for?! Are you just trying to give in without a fight?!”
“…I like this place better than out there.”
He said quietly…and gave a sad smile…
“Look! Or listen whatever, if you have ears you should have just heard what he said! He said he likes to be here better than out there! He’s innocent! He just wants to stay here so he’s saying he did it! He’s just ready to take blame so he can give up on life!!!”
“You know, I’ve never met someone as stringy as you.”
“If I can PROVE to you that he’s not the person you think he is what are you going to do! I’ll prove it to you!”
.....
.....
Fatty smirked, and kicked me out of the station. Mom and dad who had gotten a call from Fatty came to pick me up and as soon as they stopped the car in front of me I climbed into the back.
Mom was sobbing…
Dad was glaring at me…
“Crazy b1tch.”
“…it’s not Heewon.”
“I don’t want you as my daughter.”
“…we ruined him…we’ve ruined their family…we threw Heewon’s family down an endless cliff…”
"............"
“If Heewon goes to jail I’ll kill myself. You think I’m joking? I swear I’ll kill myself.”
The car stopped in front of the house and dad firmly got out, pulling me with him. He stopped me and he raised his hand, and struck my face.
“What are you doing!” Mom yelled jumping out of the car.
“You’d threw your life away for some bastard? I don’t need a daughter like that…” He said and walked inside.
And…
Mom tightly hugged me to her, wiping away the tears that were flowing down my cheeks.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I don’t know why I was in such a hurry to have him arrested. I knew he was your friend and I did it anyways…”
.......
......
.......
“…Heewon’s my boyfriend…do you have any idea how much he’s going through…? Why’d you do that to him….why…”
The tears I held back when I was with Heewon because I felt so guilty, just poured out and fell onto my mom’s shoulder.
Believing that Heewon would believe in me, I fell asleep on my bed as soon as I got home…
Chapter 86.
The Next Morning.
Jaegwang opened the door to my room slowly.
“I’m changing, get out.”
“…what’s going to happen to Kang Heewon.”
“…I told you to get out.”
“Heard his dad was in a mental hospital.”
“Get the hell out!!! Didn’t I tell you to get out?!”
He closed the door so hard that it shook my room, and I was leaving for school without my bag when I saw Nari standing outside Eungyu’s house.
“Unnie! Where are you going? Is your leg okay?”
“…can’t you see I’m limping?”
....
......
Yeah, I was limping. I guess this is was happens when you break a bone and don’t go to the hospital.
“Unnie! Unnie!”
“…”
“Oh, I have really good news! ^0^. You know how oppa and I went to sing karaoke yesterday? Well, the owner’s nephew is a manger to a record company!”
“…yeah…?
“Well, she heard Eungyu oppa sing and she was saying she could get him connections. She seemed to really like Eungyu oppa…”
“…that’s nice, I’ll be going first. Sorry.”
“…w-wait…unnie…”
Dragging my left foot, I turned around so that my back was facing Nari.
And…
The front gate to Eungyu’s house opened, and he stepped out with his uniform on. He stared at me with shiny eyes…I should congratulate him…
“…congrats…”
“…yeah.”
“I’ll see you around.”
“I think I’m going to move into some management company and go under training.”
...
“…why are you telling me that…”
...
.......
I asked, annoyance, or something like that flooding my voice.
Damn, I didn’t mean to sound like that.
I guess under all the stress I’m going through, I can’t control anything…
“…just…don’t get sick…”
“Okay.”
“….^_^….”
“When you become a singer, you better not forget about us. Just act like you know me. I should be going now, I might not be able to see you a lot from now, on. This might be the last time we see each other, so I’ll just say it now. Just be healthy okay? Nari, you too.”
Nari turned her head quickly, that girl. She’s mad already? If she’s going to look after Eungyu she has to listen to harsher stuff and still smile.
“Can’t you at least smile if it’s gonna be the last?!” He asked jokingly.
…you forget a person quickly don’t you…
What’s your heart made of to forget someone so easily…
Every time I see you I can’t help but look done cause it hurts to look at you…
…but you’re smiling like always…with Nari next to you…
“^0^… happy?”
“Don’t I look good with her?”
....
Eungyu asked grabbing Nari’s hand and grinning brightly.
“…yeah…”
“Hey, be good to Heewon too ^0^, we’ll call you on our hundredth day. ^0^.”
He said to me brightly with Nari’s hand still in his.
I thought we’d loved each other, I guess it was only one-sided. I guess it’s not we loved each other…it was just me loving you…
That day, I left school it a permission slip saying I could go home and went to the hospital, then the police station with a cast on my foot. Cursing the heavy casting on my foot, I opened the door and when they saw it was me they all groaned. Before I could yell and ask where Heewon was one of them said…
“He’s locked up.”
“…what?”
“He’s going to be that way until we find those bastards he had try and kidnap you.”
“Where is that?! It here somewhere right?!”
Right then, someone put their hand on my shoulder, when I looked behind me it was Fatty. (The officer)
“Get out, he’s not here right now.”
“…what if I…”
“Shut up and just get out of here!!”
“If I prove to you that Heewon isn’t who you think he is, then what are you going to do.”
“What did you say? If you keep coming out like-”
“When I prove it’s not Heewon, I want YOU to sign his release forms.”
As I finished talking, the policemen all laughed loudly, and after a while, Fatty said.
“Then, I have to get something for myself don’t I? That way I’ll have fun with this little game. Don’t you think?”
“Fine, then if I’m wrong you can have all of my family’s money.”
Fatty’s face frowned at my disrespectfulness and I quickly left the police station. I know I’m the one who yelled but…
....
…how am I going to find those bastards….I have to prove one by one it’s not Heewon…
But he’s not going to be any help, because he’s keeping his mouth shut…
Whenever I’m not thinking of Heewon…I think of Eungyu…dammit…
...
If it really was Heewon…I still have to find a way to get him out…
+That Night+
...
....
I got a call from Jungbin.
“What’s up, mon.”
“…just…nothing… “
“How are you and Eungyu, mon.”
“Bad.”
“…want ta meet me, mon, got somting ta say ta ya.”
“…I can’t, sorry Jungbin.”
“…come out.”
“…hey…when outlaws commit some crime…do you know where they go?”
“What da hell mon! Cha tink I’m come kinda criminal mon!”
“…sorry.”
“Dey, probably go ta some motel and stay dere mon, or run away to da country.”
“…oh, I see.”
“Can you really not come out, mon.”
“Sorry.”
“It’s about Kang Heewon, mon.”
“…Heewon? What about him?!”
“Taught cha said cha didn’t want ta know, mon!”
“Where are you right now!”
......
.......
Mom parents didn’t follow after me or try to stop me as I left the house late at night, and like always, Jaegwang was at Sohyun’s hospital.
I ran as fast as I could with a casted foot towards the café Jungbin said he’d be at.
....
......
What does he have to tell me?
My heart was thumping like mad…if it’s something Jungbin has to say about Heewon…it can’t be anything good…
The first thing I saw when I opened the café was Jungbin in a leopard print shirt…
When he saw me just staring at him, he waved.
“Ova here, mon!”
“…JUNGBIN!!!”
....
.......
I yelled running towards him, Jungbin twitched.
“…what’s wrong wit cha, mon.”
“Tell me! Did you meet Heewon yesterday!?”
“Ya, mon.”
“Were you wearing this?!!?!”
.....
.......
“…my shirt or da pants?”
“The shirt!!!!!!! That leopard print shirt!!!”
.....
.......
“Ya, mon. Why?”
“1 down!!! Alright!”
I dragged Jungbin out of his seat and started pulling him, towards the door.
Chapter 87.
“What’s wrong wit cha, mon!”
“Let’s go to the police station!!! Hurry! Hurry!!!”
At the sound of ‘police station’ Jungbin put his feet down firmly and wouldn’t budge.
“You tink I’m crazy mon!!! Why would I go dere!”
“Let’s go to save Heewon! Hurry!”
“Whatcah saying!”
“They think Heewon planned this kidnapping!!!”
.....
........
Jungbin looked at me…
“…kidnapping?”
“Shut up, and follow me.”
I pulled Jungbin up to feet and he allowed himself to be dragged with a clueless look on his face. I forced him into his car and made his drive over to the police station.
“Those bastards are so dead, I told them it was Heewon. Hey, Jungbin, why’d you meet Heewon anyways?”
“…he called me first.”
“Heewon? Why?”
“How would I know, mon!”
“…are you mad?”
“Fawk, mon, why do I hafta go to the station because of him, mon. Ever since I met cha, mon, it’s been like this…. <_<…”
“…it’s my charm ^0^ .”
Jungbin parked his car a little distance away from the police station and I quickly started running towards the station with my casted leg.
I pushed open the door and I yelled.
“Take Kang Heewon out!”
....
.....
Fatty got up from his seat and rolled his eyes.
“You again? Do you want me to put you in with him?”
“I have proof it’s not him! Take him out!”
“Are you dreaming? Huh?”
“Jungbin, come here.”
I grabbed Jungbin by the shirt and pushed him in front of me so that he was standing face to face with fatty.
“You bastard, you know her?!”
It seemed as if they were well acquainted… -_-
Oh, right. This place might as well be his home… -_-a
“What are you doing here this time!”
“She pulled me here, mon! You tink I came cause I wanted to, mon!”
“You’re yelling at me?! Do you need to get beat to respect your elders?!”
Fatty took a step towards Jungbin, and Jungbin quickly tried to hide himself behind me. Sure, like that would work… <_<
Fatty raised his hand to hit him, and I grabbed Fatty’s hand and yelled at him.
“You said Heewon met some guy in a leopard print, right?! Well, that was him!!! It was Jungbin, so Heewon has nothing to do with it!”
“How am I supposed to know if you didn’t make this up on your own!”
“Fine, I’ll get an alibi! Jungbin, did you run into anyone when you were with Hewon!?!?”
“…uh, we ran into Nari, mon.”
“LOOK!!!! I TOLD YOU!!!”
.......
.........
“Do you want your boyfriend taken out, that bad? Huh?”
Fatty asked shoving his face into mine.
“I don’t want him taken out, I’m going to get him out.”
“…yeah?”
....
......
“Well, then get those bastards that tried to kidnap you here!!!! You come here one more time without better proof and I’ll shove you into a jail cell!!!”
....
........
............
+Benches in front of the Station+
“Cool down, mon. If he really didn’t do it, den the truth will come out, mon.”
Jungbin said patting my back reassuringly.
“…what if it takes too long though…then what’ll happen to Heewon…”
“…how can you be so sure, he didn’t do it, mon.”
“I’m positive he didn’t do it. I trust him, and I know he didn’t do it.”
“What I’m saying, mon, is how can you be so sure!!!”
“…because I’m the only one who believes in him…
I got up from my seat and clenched my hands into fists.
“I’m gonna catch that leopard print bastard!”
“You’re crazy, mon.”
“Hey, it’s easy to catch people, I mean there are people who beat tigers to death!”
I turned around to walk away, and Jungbin quickly followed after me.
And…
Across the street, Eungyu and Nari got out from a taxi and started running towards us. I guess they just heard about Heewon. They ran towards us and the two passed by me and into the station.
For a second…
They stared at me and Jungbin and then continued to just run inside.
I guess this is what we are now, I couldn’t bear to look after Eungyu,,,
“What cha doing, mon! You wanted to go!!!”
Jungbin yelled loudly, and Nari who was running after Eungyu turned around and I could hear her muttering…
“…monster…”
I dragged Jungbin who about to run after Nari into his car. It was already 12 at night.
“@^%*@*^$&*@^&*!!!!!”
“What are you saying? We’re going to Chungjoo right?”
“#&$#&%&#%&**(&!!!!!”
“Hold on, take me home. I want to tell Jaegwang where I’m going first.”
Jungbin turned his car around and drove towards my house. When he reached my neighborhood he stopped his car. I carefully walked towards my house and was about to open the door when…
“…Jungwon.”
A familiar voice called, and when I turned around, I saw Seohyun unnie.
“Unnie!’
“…I heard from Sohyun unnie…Heewon’s locked up isn’t he…
“…yeah.”
“They were from Chungjoo, right?”
“That’s what they said…”
Unnie sighed deeply and lit a cigarette, and I could see unnie’s eyes grow sad…
“…unnie has to get Heewon out.”
“…so do I…”
“…I like Heewon a lot, you see…”
.....
...........
Wait…who likes who…???
“O_O.”
“…you’re going to Chungjoo right now?”
“…wait…unnie…you like Heewon…?”
“I know Chungjoo like the back of my hand. It’s that car right?”
Unnie pointed to Jungbin’s car and after patting my head reassuringly, she sat next to Jungbin in the passenger’s seat.
Forgetting about Jaegwang, I quickly ran after her and sat in the back seat.
“Who the hell is she, mon!” Jungbin asked yelling as Seohyun unnie got in.
“Go.”
Hearing unnie’s frosty voice, Jungbin stared from me and Seohyun unnie. Jungbin finally started the car and off we went…
…Seohyun unnie likes Heewon…?
Chapter 88
The inside of Jungbin’s car was dark…
The three of us were all silent, without saying one word on the way to Chungjoo…
Seohyun unnie was chain smoking and I could see Jungbin glaring at her through the rearview mirror.
“Unnie, how much longer do you think?”
“…about an hour…Jungwon go to sleep, I’ll wake you when we get there.”
“…unnie, you get some rest too…you look tired.”
“Blah, I’m scared to go to sleep, I’ve been dreaming nightmares the past few days. ^_^.”
.....
“You know why? Because you only think trashy stuff, that’s why.”
Jungbin said still glaring at her through the mirror…ignoring him, unnie threw her cigarette butt out the window.
“…do you think we’ll be able to find them?”
“We have to don’t we?”
Seohyun unnie is always sure of herself unlike Sohyun unnie even though they have similar names…
“Hey! Yoon Jungwon, why do you talk nicely at her, mon!!! Hey, you man-woman! How hold are ya, mon!”
Gosh, is he immature or what… -_-
“ 21.”
“…oh, you’re older than me.”
“… <_<…”
“Can I call ya nuna, mon.”
“No.”
“Why not, mon!!!”
“You’re disgusting… <_<…”
With the atomosphere growing colder and chillier, jungbin stepped on the accelarater and started going faster.
Unnie said to go near some terminal, and Jungbin drove as he was told. It was 1 AM already…
We got off the main street…gosh, where in the world are we supposed to look for those bastards…we don’t even know for sure if they’re in Chungjoo…
Jungbin parked his car and Seohyun unnie followed, and then me…
Right then…
“If you step on my foot you should at least say sorry, mon!!!”
“…what da hell, you just say that to me?”
Seemed as if someone had stepped on Jungbin’s good. God, what this time…I thought and turned around to face that troublemaking human…
Some mob guy a head taller that Jungbin who looked like a gorilla was glaring down at Jungbin.
“Is dere anyone else here dat’s talking at you, bastard!!”
“…where’d you come from.”
The two’s voices were getting louder by the second and I grabbed Jungbin’s hand and forced a smile at Gorilla…
“He’s my brother, I’m so sorry. Excuse us.”
“Let go of me, mon! This bastard started it first!”
“Bastard? Did you just call me dat?!”
Gorilla took a step closer to Jungbin. Gorilla’s friends started surrounding us one by one…they looked to be around my age. I shouldn’t have brought him along…TT_TT. Jungbin rolled up his sleeve to his elbows in order to start the fight.
Gorilla’s family patted Jungbin on the shoulder ‘coolly’ and one of then Gorilla grabbed Jungbin up by his throat.
…
“Lee Jinsup, put him down.”
.....
...ㅇ_ㅇ......?
When I turned my head towards the sound, I saw Seohyun unnie step back out of the building she had gone in.
Gorilla stared at unnie with wide eyes. And as if they’d promised each other, Gorilla and his family all bowed down to her, their waists best at 90 degrees.
“Ma‘am!!!!”
What the hell?
I felt my mouth drop…
Gorilla’s family all lined up in a straight line and kept their heads down.
“How’ve you all been? ^_^.”
“Good ma’am!”
They answered at the same time and Jungbin all stared at them and tapped one of them lightly on the shoulders.
...
…the guy just continued to stay as he was.
“Where are the oppas?”
‘The hyungs are all at home sleeping!!!”
“…Jinsup, can nuna ask you one favor?”
“You can ask ten!!!”
“…^_^…Okay, Jungwon come over here…”
Unnie waved me over to her and I slowly walked over and stuck by unnie’s side.
“Describe what those bastards looked like yesterday.”
“One looked like he was in his early 30’s and was wearing a leopard print shirt with sunglasses. And he had a big spot right here on his eyebrow, the other guy…”
I’d finished describing them in 10 minutes and the guy I was telling scratched his head confusedly.
“…Jinsup, go find them.”
With Seohyun unnie’s word, Gorilla and his family bowed deeply.
“Yes ma’am!!!”
“Wake all the oppas, we’re in a hurry. Make it fast.”
“Yes ma’am! Nuna stay here, it’s dangerous!”
“Call me as soon as you find them. There’s a bigger chance they won’t be in Chungjoo. When you find them, call.”
“Yes ma’am!”
The gorilla and his family bowed one more time and disappeared to go do as Seohyun unnie had asked. As Seohyun unnie and I met each others eyes, her cold face broke into a large grin.
“Unnie, do you lead a double life?”
“No, of course not ^0^.”
“No, my ass!!! Hey, Jungwon, go lift up her shirt at see if she has a dragon on her back, mon!”
-_-...
Sephyun unnie pat my back reassuringly.
“Let’s go in the car, it’s cold you’ll get sick.”
“Did I give you permission at go in my car, mon!”
I think he was embarrassed that he got saved by a girl. We ignored him and opened the door to the car. Behing as tired as I was, I closed my eyes for about an hour and when I’d opened them…
Jungbin’s car was speeding down the highway…
ㅇ_ㅇ..??????
…and unnie was biting her nail looking out the window…
“What the…where are we going? Unnie, where are we heading to?”
“…they found them.”
“Already?! You’re kidding me!”
“We’re going since we found dem, you girlie mon!!!”
Jungbin yelled…
“Did you really?! It’s only been about an hour!!! Oh my gosh, I don’t believe it! Heewon!! YES!!”
It felt as if my foggy mind had cleared up, and I raised my two hands and punched the air happily.
…however, unnie spoke in a voice opposite from mine…
“…listen…”
“Yes ma’am ^0^ !”
“There are a lot of people in the world, and you just met one of the bad people.”
“…what are you saying?”
“You might not see something you want to…so then, just close your eyes.”
“I have no clue as to what you’re saying.”
Instead of answering, unnie pat my head like she always did.
...
Inside this cold silence, Jungbin’s car stopped in front of a large motel and when he’d finished parking, Seohyun unnie climbed out and I quickly followed after her.
“I’ll go call the police.” Jungbin said fingering his phone.
Unnie ran inside, and I could hear her running up the stairs. She reached the 3rd floor and stopped.
...
She seemed so far away…
I clenched my hands into fists and ran up after her…
+BAM!+
The door to room 301 opened with a bang.
“Get your asses out here!!!”
......
...........
Unnie yelled loudly and coldly.
.....
I could see the kidnappers kneeling on the ground, and in front of them were Gorilla’s family grinning at Seohyun unnie brightly towards Seohyun unnie.
And…
...........
I could see a girl shaking in the corner of the room with her head down…
....
.....
As she and I met eyes, she bit her lip and looked back down again…
“…Darky…what are you doing here….”
...
.....
Chapter 89
.......
.........
Silence…
The only sound we could hear was the Gorilla family congratulating themselves. Seohyun unnis comfortingly took my hand and gave a small squeeze.
I can feel my hands getting all clammy.
“These are the bastards right?!” Gorilla asked proudly hitting Leopard Print’s head.
“You guys go outside.”
“What?”
“Get out.”
“…yes ma’am.”
With Seohyun unnie’s chilly voice, Gorilla’s family all bowed and left the room quickly.
The only ones inside were the Leopard Print’s and his two friends and…Darky…
Seohyun unnie slowly neared towards them, and leaning against the wall for support, I stared at Darky with the coldest eyes I’d ever had…
With a bone chilling sound, Seohyun unnie struck each of the guys’ head and Darky…
I could see one of her tears fall to the ground…
“Crazy bastards, who are you to do that. What the hell are you doing killing happy people. Huh? Tell me, fawk. Lift you fawking head, you don’t hear me?!”
This time it was their faces.
With her fist not her palm, Seohyun unnie brought it down on their faces…
It was the first time I’d seen or hear unnie cry, and mixed with unnie’s cry was Darky’s mixed in. Unnie who was past ‘sane’ started picking up everything in the room and throwing it with all her might ah the three guys on the ground. They all flinched every time something flew towards them and all started begging for unnie to stop.
“Stop it.”
.....
.......
...
Darky said standing up and yelling towards Seohyun unnie hatefully.
“I did it! It was me, I asked these oppas to do it and I framed Kang Heewon! The person who put that Kang Heewon you like so much in jail is me! …I was the one who asked these oppa to break Yoon Jungwon…”
As she finished what she was saying, she collapsed onto the floor, I could see Seohyun unnie’s hand shaking…
…Darky’s face started swelling…it was only one hit…
“Jungwon…”
Grabbing my hand, unnie brought me to Darky and Seohyun unnie stood behind me. From unnie’s two eyes, I can see bitter tears flowing out.
…okay, I can do this…
“…why’d you do it…”
“Do what.”
Darky asked getting up and looking at me in the eye.
“Why’d you do that to Heewon…why Kang Heewon…”
“…because it’s because of that bastard Eungyu is the way he is right now…”
The only thing I can do is smile…
“…I’m the one who chose Kang Heewon…you shouldn’t have done that to him also…you should have been happy with me…”
“I know. That’s why I asked the oppas to break you, too bad they didn’t succeed though, don’t you think? ^_^.”
...
......
“…you don’t regret anything?”
“I don’t know what regret is.”
“I might because two-faced right now.”
“Weren’t you always?”
“…the only thing you see in your eyes is Eungyu being sad isn’t it…you don’t see anyone else going through just as much pain do you…”
“I don’t feel the need to. Especially a b!tch like you.”
“…okay.”
"......"
“…unnie I’m sorry.”
I smiled towards Seohyun unnie who was leaning against the wall and sitting down and grabbed Darky by the throat. She slapped away my hands, but I just brought it back up harder than ever. Right as she spit in my face, I got my fist and hit her across the face. With a short gasp, Darky fell to the floor. Not giving her a chance to stand, I started kicking and stepping on her.
She grit her teeth to keep from crying out and little by little, the floor was getting dirtied by her blood.
“I had to get you to get back to Eungyu!! Even if this was the only way, I had to! I don’t regret anything I did!”
She yelled, her face buried on the ground, I slowly felt my strength leave me and I fell to the floor too. I could hear Seohyun unnie walk closer to me, and she lifted Darky to her feet…
“Doyi, why’d you do it…why’d you do something like this. Eungyu could have been happy even if you hadn’t done something like this… Why’d you make a lot of people go through so much…”
“What was I supposed to do. I’d thought of a hundred ways for that retard, Shin Eungyu, to be happy but the only thing that could was Yoon Jungwon. The only person that could was that b1tch Yoon Jungwon… What was I supposed to do when the only thing he does at night is cry because of that b1tch…what else was I supposed do!!!!!!!”
Darky glared at me…
This way or that…the only thing she cared about was Eungyu…
…the key to everyone’s problem is Shin Eungyu…
We’re all victims…
Me, who has to ignore the person I love most in the world…
Eungyu, who lost the girl he loved to his best friend and pretends to be happy…
Heewon, who keeps holding onto a shell and keep back his tears at hard times…
Seohyun unnie, who has to helpless watch Heewon…
…and
Darky, who had to use any strategy to watch over Eungyu…
Because of love…
…because of a stupid this called love…
We all keep hating each other…
We go through so much pain…
Love is supposed to be a happy thing…it has to be a thumping…
…but why are we all so sad…
....
......
On the other side of the window, I can hear the sound of sirens…and the sound of a police officer…
...
…I guess…this has to be…
Chapter 90
“Lift your heads you bastards!”
We were all inside the police station.
I can see Darky and the other with handcuffs behind their backs.
“I’ve never seen a b1tch like you in Korea. I wouldn’t be surprised if this got on the news.”
One of the officers said poking Darky in the head a couple of times.
“Don’t touch me.”
“Did you just say that to me? You have a back you can rely on?”
....
......
This is why I didn’t want to come back to the station…
This smell…the voices…the atmosphere…
I stuck closely next to Seohyun unnie and tried to relax my rapidly beating heart.
“Hey! Hey! Jungwon, I called yo parents, and family, mon!”
The entrance door opened and Jungbin entered impatiently.
That’s exactly why you name is Jungbin, because you make so many stupid mistakes in your life.
“Jungwon!”
My mom yelled as a group of people bunched into the station. Dad stared down at the Leopard Prints with a cold stony face. I could see Jaegwang smirking at Darky.
And…
“Unnie!”
Nari yelled running over to Darky. From the entracne, I can see Eungyu staring at me.
“You fawking bastards! You did this, huh?!”
Jaegwang yelled loudly and them and started towards the Leopard Prints, and to stop him, three officers held him back.
“Unnie, you didn’t do it did you? You didn’t do it did you? Unnie…Doyi unnie…”
Nari pleaded with Darky in a strained voice, and in a matter of time Eungyu was next to Nari. His face was pale as if he hadn’t gotten an ounce of sleep.
“…it…was you?”
“…I’m sorry…Eungyu…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…”
Darky, who’d grit her teeth while I was beating her and Seohyun unnie was hitting her burst into tears in front of Eungyu…
Darky buried her face into Eungyu’s shoulders…
“…you did bad this time…”
“…+sniff+…”
“…do you know how cold jail will be…? You know how lonely it’ll be? What are you going to do…”
Eungyu warmly rubbed Darky’s shoulders. I could hear Jaegwang still trying to get free from the officers.
“Eungyu, I’m scared…I’m so scared…what do I do…”
“…it’ll be over before you know it…”
Why…
…why do you supposed it angered me seeing Eungyu forgive Darky so easily…
…Heewon’s hurt…even Seohyun unnie cried…I collapsed…and he forgives her so easily…
“…Shin Eungyu…”
He lifted his head to look at me.
“My boyfriend is in jail because of your friend. His whole school knows he’s locked up. And it’s because of your friend.”
.....
.....
Damn…I didn’t want to say it like this…
My boyfriend…? What am I doing?
“Okay…I’m sorry.”
“Do you know how serious this is?! How can you forgive her so easily!!!”
“…if I don’t forgive her…who’ll forgive Doyi…? If I don’t…who will…”
“…of course…you two are the best of friends…Mom, Dad you heard right?! Heewon didn’t do it! I can keep meeting Heewon right?! Yoon Jaegwang, you better not keep saying he’s a bad influence and all that!!! Let’s go! Hurry, let’s go and get Heewon out!”
I said quickly, forgetting the fact that Seohyun unnie liked Heewon.
Cursing myself for saying that, I started biting my lip. Jaegwang stopped yelling and turned to Darky.
“…are you fawking crazy?”
“…”
“Aw fawk! Yoon Jungwon, do all the people you know stab you in the back! First Kang Heewon, then this dark b1tch?!”
It wasn’t Darky who stood up against Jaegwang, it was Eungyu…
“Hyung, you haven’t done anything to praise either! You go to Nari right after breaking up with my nuna?! My nuna’s got insomnia because of you! She drinks a few bottles of day just because of you! Stop hurting my nuna, God dammit!”
.....
......
The police station turned silent…
After trying to be so bright this whole time…
…after trying to be happy this whole time…
Everything’s crumbled because of my stupid brother.
Jaegwang’s eyes met mine.
Right then…
Eungyu must’ve have realized the necklace around my neck… My Piggy <3
...
I quickly tore the necklace off and forced a smile, and Eungyu turned his head…
“Let’s go to Seoul!!! Dad, turn the car on!”
.....
......
I forced my voice to be happy and cheerful and bounced out the station. The car was on the way to Seoul and in the backseats was Jaegwang and I.
.....
…Jungbin carried Seohyun unnie in the passengers seat and drove to Seoul…
…what do I do about the necklace…
That was my most prized possession…
…I threw it on the ground…
…I kept fingering my neck while holding back my tears…
I looked over to my side and at Jaegwang who was sleeping…
“…+snore+…Pupu, Pupu…you’re back…Pupu …+snore+…”
My poor brother, you must miss your ugly little cat a lot. Mom and Dad entered the police station where Heewon was being kept at together saying they wanted to ask for forgiveness.
I sturdily stepped into the station.
“You have those release forms?!”
I yelled loudly as I opened the door and stepped in. I grinned over at Fatty.
