Chapter 19.

"the boy"

 

 

"I... I-uhh" He coudnt find the right words. He couldnt explain. "Tell me" i said softly. "They.. they need money.." "from you?" i asked. He nodded. "What for? whyy?",  "My dad owed them money.. um... when i was a little boy, he borrowed money from those three brothers. Now that im older, i have to finish all my dad's debt" he replied. "Just ask your dad to pay! Why are you facing all of this?!",  "ermm"  he said while fidgeting. "well??" , "he's dead.." . "What..?" i look at him, shocked actually. "Those three boys, they.. they murdered my dad. He couldnt pay them back so they took his life". Suprisingly, he didnt mention anything about his mom.

"Im sorry" i said looking at him. "No its okay" he smiled. "WHY ARE YOU STILL SMILING??!!" i screamed in my head. I then continued and said.. "wait, they kept on mentioning about you end up like your dad if you dont pay up?",  "yeah.." ,  "which means?" ,  "which means if i dont pay up they'll murder me.." , "WHAT?! NO!" i screamed. "Im trying my best to collect money but i think i can manage" he said at me while smiling. "How much your dad owed them?" i replied. " five million won...?" , "How are you going to have that amount money in three days time???!!!" , "Its okay, i told you right, i can manage" , "Im helping you!" words that i could not imagine.. escaped from my very own mouth. "You're gonna help me?" he said while looking at me. "Yes! Of course!" 

I knew it! All those sweating and tired looks of him.. He was working. No wonder i always saw him working all over the place. Another puzzle solved. I spot him sweating on the first week of me knowing him. He wasnt working out or what.. He was working.

 

....................

 

Day and night we kept working. I tried selling my unused clothes but he refused to let me do it. I tried selling my cooked food but... he refused to let me do it. In summary, he wanted to handle this on his own. I had to let him.

"Thanks for the help!" he said as we walked back home. Help? all i could do is company you at work. i thought to myself. "sure! tomorrow again?" , "No its okay, i can work alone tomorrow" , "Seriously?? Are you shoo-ing me from your life now?" i teased. He laughed. Then he came closer to me as he said.. "Never". I laughed.. nervously.. our faces were only few inches away.. "umm i guess i got to go now" i told him. "Yaa its late" he replied. "you should go home too you know" i told him. "Uh huh.. yeah sure",  "Dont make me catch you working at this hour! Im keeping my eyes on you boy!" i said as i actioned my fingers from mine to him. "You've always kept your eyes on me?" he smirked. "Noo" I laughed. "Really?" , "Yea.. obviously" i replied. "Can i ask you something?" he said while looking at me. "Yeah sure",  "Do you like me?". My eyes were wide open and my heart is beating like crazy. "Huh? What are you saying.." i shot him a look. "Do you like me? ..Yess?" he asked again. "Umm.. What? Noo!" i said awkwardly. "Oh" He said as he backed off from me a little.

"Sooo i'll see you tomorrow then?" He managed to ask me after that awkward moment. "Uh- ya Goodnight". I closed the door and hit myself on the wall. "If only you knew.. If only you knew how much i love you.." i thought to myself.
