Chapter5

Brightness Of The Dark

“Oh Jae Ji you’re hereeee~!!!!!!” Jung Min said as the other 2 caught him by the arm and pulled him down, causing all 3 to fall and they laughed at each other while lying there.
“Stop playing already. Get to practice”
“Alright alright!”
They practiced dancing for 3 hours, having breaks in between, and ended at 6pm.
“Jae Ji ah!” Young Saeng ran back into the room after telling the rest to go first and wait for him at the gate
“I thought you were going back together with them?” Jae Ji said as she cleaned up the room
“I just wanted to ask you a favor”
“What favor?”
“Can I still come your house next week after we go back to our old practice place?”

“Why?”
“Because…I don’t live in Seoul and I could only practice my piano in our practice room. And you know, the difference between keyboards and grand pianos” Young Saeng explained, hoping Jae Ji would agree
“What’s your grade?”
“I…learnt piano myself…didn’t take the grade exams”
“I could teach you if you want” Jae Ji said and paused a while “for free”
“For free? It’s really-”
“It’s settled then. Don’t argue with me. What time you’ll come?”
“Ok…thank you. Maybe around 12pm I’ll come over? Because we have singing lessons in the morning and dancing at night”
“Sure. Start right after you guys goes back to the old place to practice”
“Thank you! And well, see you tomorrow!” Young Saeng smiled and ran out to join the others

The next day the boys went earlier to Jae Ji’s house, at 10am because Hyung Joon said he wanted to play wii again. On the third day, Thursday, the 6 of them went to the supermarket at 7am to get ingredients for lunch because the previous day they had forgotten and end up eating out. They got back at Jae Ji’s house only at around 10.30am because they had a hard time choosing. The boys carried the bags and so Jae Ji let them in first. Just when she was about to close the gate, a voice called out.

“Jae Ji!!!” another guy ran out suddenly and grabbed Jae Ji’s arms immediately
“You’re still here? I thought you were DEAD!” Jae Ji said harshly and tried to get free
“Why would I be dead if…” he whispered something very softly that only Jae Ji could hear
“Let Go, Lee Kyung Min” Jae Ji said with a cold voice, and eyes that stare at him like daggers and her blood boiled
“What’s wrong Jae Ji? Unable to use your-”
“Let go of her!” Jung Min cut Kyung Min’s sentence, passing the bag he was carrying to Young Saeng and pulled Kyung Min’s grip from Jae Ji’s arm
“You again? You’re still here too? Not dead yet?” Kyung Min said as he shouted the last 3 words
“I wouldn’t be dead if you aren’t” Jung Min said as coldly as Jae Ji
“And who’s these 4? Your new preys Jae Ji? Or should I say…victims?” Kyung Min said as he stared at the 4, who gave him looks that tells him you-are-a-bastard

Just then, Star, Moon and Twinkle all came out and started barking at Kyung Min, fiercely.
“And these 3 are still here too? Still-”
“You better shut up and leave you idiot. Don’t let me see you again” Jae Ji slammed the gate in front of him and told the others to get in
“Who’s that?! Acting all cool? Come on! He’s not that cool after all” Hyung Joon said and he helped put the bags in the kitchen
“Yeah Jae Ji. Who’s he?” Kyu Jong asked
“Her ex-boyfriend” Jung Min stated
“What?! He’s childish coming back to revenge” Hyun Joong said with an irritated face
“He’s not here to revenge” Jae Ji said “He’s here to get back together”

“Huh?! Wow! Then he’s stupid! Why would a guy say all those stuffs to get a girlfriend back” Hyung Joon commented
“He doesn’t seem like he want to get back. More like he wants to curse you or something Jae Ji” Young Saeng said
“Just ignore him” Jae Ji said not bothering
“How long has he come?” Hyung Joon continued asking
“Around a year already I guess” Jung Min said
“Should just tell him to get lost. Or just call the police” Hyun Joong said while opening the can drinks
“That’s just plain wasting my time” Jae Ji said and passed Hyun Joong a glass of red wine “Thought you might want wine instead of soft drinks”

“At least the police can do something?” Hyun Joong said and took the glass “Thank you. Thought you might scold if I bought them”
“That guy is hopeless, police wouldn’t care. The wine’s not just for you, Young Saeng too”
“Oh thank you” Young Saeng said as he took the glass from Jae Ji
“Why didn’t the 3 of us get wine too?!” Hyung Joon complained
“Kids like you…” Jae Ji passed him a can of soft drink “Drink this instead of wine”
“Fine for me. I like soft drinks better than wine” Kyu Jong said with Jung Min agreeing
“This red wine is nice” Hyun Joong said “Looks like supermarket wines are worth buying”
“This…” Jae Ji sighed and said “Is from my house…”
“Don’t tell me…you have red wine at home too?!”
“Why not? My dad likes them so he kept a lot of bottles”

After that day, the boys didn’t see Kyung Min again for the next 4 days. Days past and it was time they go back to their old practice rooms
“Looks like this is good bye to those hard trainings from you Jae Ji” Hyun Joong said and shook her hand
“You should really get your teacher changed. If not my efforts are all wasted if you guys goes back to before”
“I’ll try” Hyun Joong smiled “as a leader”
“And so that we can come back play wii!” Hyung Joon cheered
“And of course play with Star, Moon and Twinkle” Kyu Jong patted the dogs without any fear
“Well I’ll be coming back for the piano lessons you said” Young Saeng said
“What piano lessons?” Jung Min asked
“I’ll be giving him piano lessons from now on”
“Why didn’t I know!”
“You…” Jae Ji thought for a while “Didn’t ask” and laughed
