Back in 2004
“Okaasan, next time buy me the large teddy candy” Akira told her mother.
Masumi smiled and nodded her head.
Masumi and Akira were coming back from the market.
As they were about to reach the house, they saw two people standing close to a nearby wall and talking.
Masumi recognized one of them was Kim Young Chul by the hairstyle.
“Whom he is talking to?” Masumi walked towards them, suddenly she stopped walking and hide behind the wall.
“They might be coming back from the market now. I have to go back. Do what I said. Everything must happen as we planned.” Kim Young Chul said to the man.
“Yes, boss. First, I will attack you and make you unconscious. Then I will threat your mistress, then I will run with the child.”
“I will do the rest.” Kim Young Chul and that man shook hand each other.
Masumi became frightened by hearing this.
Her heart started to beat fast.
She ran to the house with Akira.
Threw the things into the hall which was bought from the market.
She hugged Akira and started to cry.
“Okaasan, are you okay?” little Akira became nervous by her mother’s actions.
“Yes, my dear, I’m okay. Akira, I want you to hide inside the wardrobe. Don’t come outside until I call you. Promise me?”
“Yes, but promise me you will buy me the teddy candy?”
“Yes, of course”
Masumi hide Akira inside the wardrobe.
She went back to the hall.
Took the things she threw and put it in the kitchen.
She took a knife and hide inside her kimono.
Suddenly Kim Young Chul came into the house as usual.
“Darling, what special are you cooking today? I’m hungry”
Masumi kept quiet.
Kim Young Chul continued acting,
“Where is Akira?” he turned Masumi to his side.
Her eyes were full of rage.
Kim Young Chul saw fire in her eyes.
He became startled by her look.
“Darling, are you ok? Did something happen?”
“Darling? Aren’t I your mistress?”
“Why? minutes ago weren’t you talking like a professional criminal with that man.”
“Oh, so, you did hear everything. Then I don’t need to act. Thank you for understanding.”
Masumi slapped in his face.
“Why did you do this to me? What have I done to you? Akira is your daughter. Why you need her?”
Kim Young Chul pulled her hair, “where did you hide Akira?”
Suddenly that man came inside.
“Boss, what happened?”
“Search for the kid” Kim Young Chul pushed her into the wall.
Akira was hearing everything.
She wanted to scream.
But she became scared and started to weep.
Suddenly Kim Young Chul opened the wardrobe.
“I found you…”
“Otosan…” Kim Young Chul bend down to hold her.
At that time Masumi stabbed him from behind.
She took Akira and ran.
But that man struck her on the head with an iron rod.
He knocked her down.
Meanwhile Kim Young Chul came with the knife he pulled out from his body.
Akira started to cry.
Masumi hold her tightly and whispered in her ear, “Akira, run. Never let him find you.”
“Okaasan…I want to stay with you.”
Kim Young Chul stabbed Masumi three times.
“Akira, run” Masumi said in low voice to Akira.
Akira cry out loudly.
She tried to ran from there.
But that man took her and sprayed something on her face.
She became unconscious.
“Boss, are you alright?”
“Yes, this is just a small wound, nothing to worry. Let’s go” This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
“What about the body?”
“Let it be there. Let’s move before someone sees us.”
They both left from there with Akira.
When Akira opened her eyes, she could only see a blinking tube light.
She couldn’t move.
She called out for her mother quietly “Okaasan…”
Current Day,
After school maths class got cancelled because of some reason.
Yun Da On decided to go home with Yun Da Bin.
Da On called her on phone to ask the meeting with Mr. Kim was ended or not.
“Why she isn’t picking her phone?” Da On saw Da Bin sitting in front of the counselling room.
“Doona” he called her out, she didn’t respond.
He walked towards her.
“Did something happen? Why she looks so sad?” Da On thought.
Da On tapped on her shoulder, “Doona, are you okay?”
“Huh, um, yes, I was just… I felt little dizziness that’s why I sat here.” She stood from there.
“Doona, do you need something to drink?” Da On became worried.
“I’m alright. Let’s go.”
Meanwhile at the counselling room,
“hello, hello…Abeoji” no more voices came from the other side of the call.
He felt stress.
Quickly Kim Yu Jun called the agency he contacted before.
“Hello, I’ve sent you some contact details. Can you find me where was the call from?”
“I’m out of station now, I will give you the details as soon as I reach there.” The man on the phone said.
Kim Yu Jun came out from the counselling room.
He saw Da On and Da Bin standing outside.
“Aren’t you left, Kim Da Bin? Yun Da On what are you doing here?”
“Yes, we are going. I…um… came here to give her notes.” Da On fumbled for words.
“Okay. Wait, I’ve always wondered about something.” Yu Jun said.
“About what?” Da Bin asked him.
“Da Bin…Da On… are you guys siblings?”
Da Bin and Da On widened their eyes, looked at each other.
