Chap 13
BAD GIRL
"It's good to be back Korea" Aran said
"Home's the best, mom. You're lucky that I have free time these days" Minho smiled to his mother
"Luck's always my side, son"
"Yeah right. By the way, you're friend we'll meet is your bestfriend since you were in high school?"
"Yes, her husband is uncle's bestfriend. He's very rich and powerful" she answered
"Huh? Does he has a sick daughter?"
"How do you know? That's a secret which a few people know"
"Uncle tells me about her mom. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. I promise"
"I know. Who said being rich is the best? Why has her life so miserable?" Aran felt bad for her friend
"I don't get it mom. Why her daughter doesn't do the surgery? She's afraid her family can't pay for it?"
"It's complicated, son. She's a singer but actually it's her sister's dream. She wanted to be a dancer. She thinks her sister's death's all because of her. She blames herself for that. I remember how cute she was back then. Now she just focuses on completing her sister's dream. She's so cold and emotionless"
"Singer? Which group?"
"I don't know. My friend said her husband forced her withdraw and she did. They thought it was gone so they let her comeback. They didn't expect it become worse"
"You're right. It's complicated"
"Minho, remember. Never focus too much on working or money. The thing you can get's just the pain"
"I understand what you mean, mom. I won't"
"Hi, Jiyoung. Long time no see. How're you?" Aran greeted
"Hi, Aran. I'm fine, and you?" Jiyoung hugged Aran
"Fine, thanks. This is my son. Son, this is my bestfriend" Aran introduced
"Hi, my name's Choi Minho. Nice to meet you" Minho bowed
"What a good looking man! Please have a seat! How's your husband?" - Jiyoung
"He's fine. His football team'll have competition next month so he must work harder. How's about Chansung?" - Aran
"Same. Still trying to make Hyun do the surgery" Jiyoung said sadly
"Did she just say Hyun? Maybe a lot of people have that name" Minho thought
"Why he has to convince her?" - Aran
"Because brain's surgeries don't like the others. They need to have the acception of the patients and long parts before the surgery" - Jiyoung
"Don't worry, she'll do it soon. She's a good daughter"
"I hope so. What's your job, Minho?" Jiyoung turned to him
"I'm a rapper in Shinee, auntie"
"Really? I saw you on TV once. I feel familiar when I look at you. Now I understand why. Ah, I forgot making tea. Wait here" Jiyoung went to the kitchen
"I'll help you" Aran followed
Minho's walking around the living room. "This mansion's huge" he thought. There's some pictures. He picks up one of them. "Are those Jin and Hyun?" he was frozed when he saw two familar faces especially the faces behind two girls - they're him and JunHyung. "Mother and uncle said the elder sister died...Jin died? But Hara's Hyun, she said Jin's studying aboard...She lies...She wants to hide her pain from hyung and me? Wait...Mom just said back then...The younger sister withdrew once and came back. If I don't remember wrong, Hara has never withdrawn. What's going on here?" he couldn't understand
"Excuse me, auntie. I saw your pictures. And I think I know your daughters. Have you ever sent them to music camp in Busan?" he asked immediately when Jiyoung walked back to the sofa
"Yes, how do you know?" - Jiyoung
"Music camp in Busan? I sent Minho to it too" - Aran
"Huh? Really?" Jiyoung was suprised
"Yes. We were friends back then but they suddenly disappeared. Can you tell me what happened?" - Minho
"The earth's too small. They couldn't go because IT happened. Some of our maids kidnapped them for money. When they tried to ran away from them, they fell down to the chasm. They held on a rock-top but it was weak to be holding by both of them. Jin wanted to save Hyun so she let Hyun's hand go and..." Jiyoung stared to cry while remembering
"I'm sorry. Sorry for reminding you" Minho felt guilty
"It's okay. Don't worry. Hyun'll be happy when she knows about it. She'll be here later" Jiyoung wiped her tears
"Ding~ dong~" the bell rang
"There she is. Come in, Hyun" Jiyoung said
Minho's shocked when he sees the girl and so does the girl
"Oppa! Why're you here?" the girl said
"You two know each other?" Jiyoung asked as they noded
"Minho and Hyun're both singers. They should know each other. It's really a small world, Jiyoung" Aran said
"What's going on here?" HyunAh didn't understand
"Hyun, this is my bestfriend. Dr.Choi's her brother and Minho's her son. Before you came, we found out that you two were friends when you were kids" her mother answered
"WHAT?" HyunAh were widen
"HyunAh...You're...Hyun?" - Minho
"Oppa...I..."
"Woa! Aran, we need give the kids privacy" Jiyoung pulled her friend to the garden
"I can't believe it. How could it happen?" HyunAh mumbled
"Hyun, do you know Hara lying that she's you?" he asked
"I know"
"We should...What did you say? You know? How? Why don't you tell me or hyung?" Minho was paralized
"I heard them talking on the phone once, I was curious and I asked Jun oppa. He told me. I know the reason why she does that. She loves him so much"
"But...you looked shock back then?"
"I suprised that my mom know your mom and I couldn't believe you find out that fast"
"You want to hide it from us? When'll you tell us? Never?"
"I don't know. As long as I can"
"I can't believe it. How could it happen? I need to tell hyung" Minho about took out his phone
"Please don't tell him, oppa. I don't want him to know" HyunAh took it away
"Why? He's your friend too. He needs to know. He has been lied by Hara"
"That's what I want oppa. Because he's my friend so I can't tell him. The one he should take care of now is Hara unnie. Beside, unnie didn't lie if I accept it. How could I tell him when I can live less than a year? How could I tell him when I know Hara unnie may got hurt?"
"Don't say that! You can live when you do the surgery. And why're you afraid about Hara's feelings? She has lied first"
"Jin's dream hasn't finished yet. I won't withraw until it's done"
"Jin...It's not your fault about Jin's death. Why don't you understand? She won't happy when she knows you destroyed your life beacause of her"
"Not my fault?...If that day I didn't want to eat sushi, we hadn't been kidnapped. If that day I listened to her ran the other way, we hadn't fell down. If..." HyunAh cried as Minho hugged her
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry. But please, Hyun. Listen to me. You need to cure it. You want to leave your parents alone in this world?"
"They're still young. They can have a another child"
"Hyun!!! How could you said that? They're your parents. They're worried about you. They love you"
"No, they don't. They always left us. Even in our birthdays, they weren't at home. They do it because they want to ease their guilties"
"That's it. I have to tell hyung"
"Please oppa. You can't tell him. Please!"
"He's the only one can persuade you now"
"Oppa! If you tell him, I'll kill myself. You know how stubborn I am. Oppa~"
"Fine I won't tell him but you have to do 1 thing for me" the scence HyunAh's mom crying appeared in Minho's head
"What's it oppa?"
"Do the surgery"
"But...Fine, but can you wait until my first album release? We'll finish filming it in April. I'll be official singer when I have my own album"
"No. It's too dangerous. And you already have an album. Change. Remember?"
"Oppa, I need to do some parts before having surgery. Ask your uncle, he knows. I can do that when I'm in 4minute. After finishing, I can do it right away. Okay, oppa?" HyunAh convinced him
"Okay. But I'll take you there when you do. Make sure you do it"
"I'll do whatever you want. Just don't tell Jun oppa. Promise?"
"I promise. You'll recover and tell him by yourself" Minho convinced
"Sorry, hyung. This's the only one to make her do the surgery" he sighed
"I hope so" HyunAh gave him a smile
"You know. My uncle told me about you long time ago. But I didn't know that he was talking about you. If I knew, I had made you do it earlier"
"It's really weird. How does my family relate to your family? Maybe it's fate"
"Yeah, maybe...Ah, had you found out when you asked me being your fake boyfriend?"
"No. I found out one week before Jun oppa's birthday"
"So last month? That's not long"
"So...Have you finished chatting?" Jiyoung and Aran walked in
"Yes umma" Minho and HyunAh said in unision
"I ~ My ~ Me ~ Mine" HyunAh's phone rang
"Arasso, I'm coming. I have to go now. Nice to to meet you, auntie. Bye mom. Bye auntie. Bye oppa" she hung up and rushed out
"Auntie, I have great news for you. Hyun'll do the surgery" Minho announced to Jiyoung
"Really? Kamsamida. You're my saver" Jiyoung cried holding his hand
"Son, how could you convince her?" Ara was happy for her friend
"It's my secret. But auntie, Hyun said you and your husband were rarely at home. Is that true? I thought he's only the one working"
"No. I had job. I too focused on it, forgot about them. So did my husband. But since Jin died, we have recognized how stupid we were. Leaving our children with maids. She told you that?"
"Yes, auntie. She thought you don't love her. From now on, you need to take care of her more"
"I know. I quited job for it. Thanks again, Minho. I'll never forget your help. Thanks alot"
"You're welcome auntie. Hyun's like my little sister. Don't worry, auntie. She'll recover soon" Minho gave Jiyoung a smile
