I lost Ruki and Raki. While I was at that stupid meeting, Ruki had an accident. And the one who saved her was Shawn. The court then decided that Shawn was more suited to be the children’s parent.

It had been months since I last saw them, crying, screaming, reaching out for me to grab them and run away.

The last words I heard them say was, “You promised! You promised that you would give us up! You promised!”.

Those words just kept replaying in my mind. Like a bad song gone even more wrong.

A year had gone by, I never left my room. I sat there waiting, wishing, hoping for them to come back. But everyday, nothing.

The days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years.

Three years now. And still nothing. Lee gave up trying to get me out of my room. Instead she came and slept beside me, afraid that I might do something stupid.

Today, is the same. I sat there facing the window, staring into nothingness. I hated myself. How could I let them down.

While I sat there, the door burst opened.

“OKAY! That’s enough KID!!!”, I knew this voice. I turn to see police oppa there, and behind him was taxi oppa.

“You’re gonna snap out of this or so help me!” police oppa threaten.

“Back off!” taxi oppa said, while pushing police oppa behind him.

He then knelt beside and took my hand in his and said, “Kid. Your kids need you. I know you feel like you failed them but don’t let him win. You told me to fight. Fight to get back my son. Now I’m telling you to fight. Fight and get back your kids.”,

“DAMN RIGHT!!!!” I heard police oppa, and a whole bunch of others saying.

I turned to see, and saw everyone, looking at me.

Soon they all were saying, “Where is the Kid, who pulled me out of the gutter and gave me a new life?, Yeah! And where is the Kid, who stood by me when a mob were trying to beat us to death?!, Where is the Kid that burst into the church and saved me from ruining my life! Yeah! WHERE IS OUR KID!!!”.

I was shocked. All I could do was stare at them.

Then Lee walked up to me, put her arms around me and said, “Where is the Kid, that gives me something to smile about everyday?”,

I looked down. I was ashamed. I gave up even before trying to fight back. I couldn’t face them, not even Lee.

Soon tears started to fall. They wouldn’t stop.

Then I felt everyone around me, like they were telling me that it was okay to cry. So I did. I cried and cried.

The next day, I finally came out of my room, with Lee by my side. And when I was out, I saw everyone, waiting for me, smiling.

Police and taxi oppa came up to me and hugged me, then police oppa whispered to me, “This is my kid. Don’t you dare changed it again.”.

I smiled at him.

Sitting down, we all ate the food the others had bought. Everyone and I mean everyone was feeding me. They all kept saying ‘Ahh’.

After we finished, the real thing began. We all talk about what we should do.

“I don’t get it. For the court to rule you out, just cause you were away is something unheard of.” Said Jas,

“Plus, how did Shawn turn up to the school exactly on the right time?” asked Rin,

“Fate?” said Lin,

“Nah! Can’t be. It was too perfect.” Said Niki, while thinking hard.

After hearing what the other say, I then knew. Looking at Rusty, my friend who managed the shop in Australia. I saw he had brought back the staff I employed there, even the war vet.

I stared at them, and they could see that I knew that they had something for me.

Smiling, I then nodded my head, telling them that they can say what it was.

Lee cleared when she saw me nodding my head and everyone went quiet.

I then look at everyone, then said, “Emma, there is something that you would like to share.”,

She smiled at me, and said, “Rusty was right. Hardly anything gets past you. What I have here in this folder, is a profile of, please to let you all meet, Han Su Ann.”.

“Han Su Ann?” asked Jas,

“Yes. She is well known underground con artist. And a very accomplished one. It is she would helped Shawn get custardy over the kids.” Said Emma.

I look at the profile and saw her photo. This! This the lady who I was going to allow to invest in my business. Anger was all that filled me now. I clenched my hands into a fist, but Lee sooth me down by taking my hands into hers.

“Yes. She arranged for a fake meeting. And bribed the hotel managers to allow her to plant hidden cameras within the hotel. All these, are of you. The court thought that you were on a love trip. That is what convince them.”,

“But what about the accident?” asked Rin,

“Staged. Han Su Ann, may be con artist, but she has a gang so to speak. They helped stage the accident.”.

I looked at the photos and heard every word Emma said. I could tell that everyone’s eyes were on me.

“So what are you gonna do Kid?” police oppa asked me,

I looked up and smiled, while saying, “I’m gonna show Miss Su Ann, how a real con artist is.”.

“Normally I would disapprove. But this time, I’ll say, go.” Said Lee.

Nodded my head, I then told everyone what my plan was.

I manage to get a second court trail for the kids. Much to Shawn’s disagreement the judge approved my re-appeal.

We had a month to get everything and set everything in motion.

We started off with Shawn’s loose end ‘Han Su Ann.’

And trust me when I say, I am gonna make her regret crossing with me.

Rin and Jas, asked for a meeting with her, so that they could ‘Hire.’/asked, for her ‘service’/advice.

They met her in a private room at a club. Before they had left to meet, we installed listening devices and hidden camera in their clothes.

Sitting down, we saw and heard everything that was going on in that room.

“So miss Han. Tell me how will you be able to perform this task that we are about to present you? And of course whether we hire you or not depends on whether you can proof what you say is true.” Said Jas with a funny French accent.

“What the hell is he doing?!” I asked, as we watched the monitors.

“I have no idea.” Answered, police and taxi oppa with Emma.

From the screen I could see, that she wasn’t alone in the room. The wall behind her had a passage and within that passage was someone watching her. I could also see that she was prepared for when the deal would go ‘sour’ as they called it.

How do I know? I use to run with these type of people. Coming from a long line of the underground. My blood is the one thing I cursed and hated. This is why my family disown me. Cause I refused to run the ‘family’ as they call it.

“I assure you that my skills are highly recommended.” Said Su Ann,

“We need proof. This job can NOT go wrong in anyway.” Said Rin with a stern voice. We could tell that she was so into her roll. I pray that this is a good thing.

 Su Ann sigh, we knew that she gave in to Rin’s pressure. Then she snapped her fingers, and in came some men, with TV set. TV SET?! What?!

“This is proof of the previous jobs I have done. And here are photos as well.” She said, has she threw the photos across to Jas and Rin

Rin and Jas, position the photos in a way that they could also see it and we could. We took photos of it from the screen, as proof for us.

Then Jas said (and still with his stupid accent. My god! Remind me to kill him!). “This is quite the record. But still not enough to proof to us that you are good enough for this job.”,

Su Ann started to get a little irritated by the lack of confidence they were giving. Which was good, cause we needed to push her to the edge for her to reveal everything to us.

“Then perhaps this will prove to you.” She said.

And then she revealed all the jobs she had done.

Rin still had her stern look on her face. She then lean in to Jas to whisper, “We need proof of her ‘clients’.”, meaning we need proof of Shawn hiring her.

Jas nodded his head and then said to Su Ann, “And what of your clients?”,

“My clients?” asked Su Ann, a bit confused by his question,

We knew that Jas and Rin were smiling on the inside now, they had pushed her close to the edge. One last push was all we needed.

“Yes. It our understanding that it is the clients who present to you the challenge. Base on which client and how many, then we will show you ‘the job’.” Said Rin, with a slight annoyed voice. Which was all she need to get Su Ann to show us all the clients she had.

Su Ann was pissed off now. Big time. She then turn towards the men standing behind her and nod. They went behind the passage and came out with a folder.

She took the folder from them, and threw it across to Rin and Jas.

Rin picked it up, and she and Jas did the same. And there it was, picture proof that she and Shawn meeting.

Seeing that Su Ann was like me I know that she liked to keep ‘trophies’ of her jobs. And proof incase she was doubled crossed.

Taking the pictures we need. We then needed one last time from her.

“This is quite the collection. May we know whom this teacher of yours is?” asked Rin, while she pretended to still look through the profile,

“Alaska.” Su Ann answered, annoyed now.

We knew that Rin smiled at her, then she and Jas stood up, and headed towards the door.

Su Ann asked, “And the job?”,

Rin then turned around, while Jas stood outside the door, then Rin said, “It’s on the table. Please bear in mind that we will not be responsible for any failures.”.

And then they left. That was my cue. I got out of the van that we were in, and went to the back of the club. There waiting for me was the owner of the clubs and an ‘old friend’.

“Here you go, thanks for the trouble.” I said to him with a smile, as I passed him an envelope.

He looked at me as he opened the envelope, and saw the photos of his son, who he wasn’t allowed to see or come anywhere near.

“Still the same old. You could always get anything you wanted. Don’t know why you left the ‘family’.” He said,

Smiling, I then said, “Cause I found something much better. And thanks for cutting all the power in her room, and for debugging her listening devises.”,

“After what you’ve done for me. I would do more.”,

“Don’t mention it. Oh yeah. I have one more gift to you.”.

He then gave me a puzzled look, and I took out a note that was meant for him,

 “Shermaine asked me to give this to you. Well take care.” I said, as I left.

And while I was still walking back to the van, I could tell and he was crying while smiling. And that he whispered ‘thank you’ to me.

When we got home, we didn’t waste any time. We put together the evidence for the court trail, and I got together the evidence I needed to show some people I had prayed that I would never see again.

As I got in the car the next night, Lee stopped me from closing the car door, and asked, “Are you sure about this?”,

I looked at her, and saw, that she was about to cry. She hated this idea. I gave a small smile, and wiped away a tear that had flown down her left cheek.

“Don’t worry Lee. I’ll be back. This is me after all.” I said, reassuring her. Then closed the door and drove off.

I look at the review mirror and saw everyone watching me drive off alone.

Finally I reached my destination. It was a mansion. The very mansion I hated. As I approached the gates, they opened and I drove in. As I drove to the front on the drive way, I looked out the window. Everything was still the same. Nothing had changed.

When I reach the front, one of the servants opened the car door for me, and said “Your parents have been waiting Master.”.

When I got out, he bowed his head. The same as always.

I went to the front doors of the mansion, and they were opened by the other servants, I walked in and saw that everything from my childhood. This very place was where I was born, where I grew up and where I long to escape from.

I entered the hall, and sure enough there stood, my parents and the rest of my once was ‘family’.

I walked up towards them, and I knew everyone was watching my every movement.

When I was finally standing in front of my parents, my father smirked and said, “So this lost child of mine has finally returned.”,

I looked at him with a blank expression and said, “No.”.

Everyone grasped. My mother looked at me, as if I was crazy. Maybe I am. But this was for Ruki and Raki. And I am willing to pay any price for them.

“No, you say. Then why are you here?” asked my father,

“To give you this.” I answered as I handed him a folder.

He took it and opened it immediately. He eyes grew wider, then an angered expression.

“How did you come by this?” he growled at me,

“This is from Han Su Ann. She wishes to perform this task upon you.” I answered, still with my blank expression.

My father then burst out laughing. His laugh echoed through the entire hall.

After he was done, he then said, “Does she expect to be able to rob from us? Foolish girl!”,

I then answered, “She is confident in her skills. Seeing who her master is, she has every right to be.”,

“Who is this master of hers then?”,

“Alaska.” Was all I said, and everyone grasped.

My father and mother were shocked. Alaska was the only thief who managed to steal from them. And he then disappeared. I knew how much my parents hated him for what he did.

“And how do you know this?” my mother asked me, finally breaking the silence.

I took out the voice recorder, and passed it to her.

She took it and press ‘play’. And it played, “This is quite the collection. May we ask whom this teacher of yours is? Alaska.”.

My father’s face turned red with anger. And my mother had the same blank expression as I did.

“You seem to have gone far. What is it that you want in exchange for this? I doubt that you are here to return.” Said my mother,

“All I want is for her to regret crossing with me.” I answered. Then turn and headed for the door.

But as I walked away from my parents, my mother asked me, “What has she does to earn your hatred?”,

I turned to look at her, and answered, “She helped Shawn take away my kids.”.

My parents face froze with shock, so did everyone else in the room.

I got into the car and left the mansion. I look at the review mirror and couldn’t help but let a small tear escape.

Week later, at court. I was walking down the hall towards the court room, someone then pulled me, and turned me around. It was Shawn.

“You still believe that I am a better parent then you?!” he yelled at me. Obviously pissed off that I pushed the court date earlier.

“It’s not on who is the better parent. It’s about them only.” I answered. Then turned and walked away from him.

The whole day we were there, fighting over the kids. I showed the court proof of what actually happen and what Shawn had done with his so called ‘accident’.

The judge ruled that Ruki and Raki will go into child care until a decision was to be made.

It’s been more than a month, and still no word. With each day my heart grew weaker. And the thought of never seeing them again kept growing stronger.

Lee came behind me and gave me a back hug. I could feel her leaning in and then she whispered, “There are some people here to see you.”.

I turned to look at her, and saw her smiling. Lee smiling always meant something good. I run to the living room, but went I entered I was shocked. Shocked to see my parents there.

I couldn’t bring myself to say anything to them. I was torn between my emotions. I was happy to see that my parents finally came for me, but sad cause it wasn’t Ruki and Raki standing there.

My mother then took a step forward to me, then said, “You really have grown. I think. No! We think that it was the right decision to leave us. You have built a life that is worth fighting for to the last drop. And we don’t see why it should remain incomplete.”.

As my mother finished saying this, she and my father stood aside, and there running to me were Ruki and Raki!

Crying, I ran towards them, and fell to my knees, while hugging them and kissing them both.

I looked up to my parents and asked, “How?”,

My father was the one who answered this time, “After you left. You left me and your mother thinking. And true enough, Su Ann did try to rob. We caught her, and offered her a choice. She could either be tortured to death by us, or come with us to see the judge and go to jail for what she had done to you.”.

After hearing what my parents did, I couldn’t help but smile. My mother broke into tears, and hugged me, while Ruki and Raki stood aside for her to.

My mother was hugging me. HUGGING! She never had shown emotions like this to me before.

She then released me and said, “Can you please forgive your foolish mother and father for abandoning you?”,

“Yes!” I cried as I hugged her again, and this time my father knelt down and hugged us both.

For the rest of the day everyone kept, lifting up Ruki and Raki, hugging them and kissing them. Every one of us missed them so much.

Police and taxi oppa introduced themselves to my parents. They both were shocked to find out that I was the only child of one of the largest underworld lords. Or so I say ex lords. My parents had left the underworld, wanting to be a normal family. But apparently everyone in the ‘family’ came along as well.

For months my parents stayed with us to catch up with me, and to be the grandparents the Ruki and raki would love.

Time flew by and everything was set right. Shawn or anyone else who wanted to take my kids away from me will never appear again.

And then it was that time. That time I was meant to go back to Korea, but it has been almost five years now. I doubt she will be on that bridge waiting for me.

I was sitting in the living room, looking through some of the work documents. I had a lot of catching up to do.

Then my mother came and sat next to me. Putting her arm around me, she asked, “What is this about ‘an angel’ those police and taxi fellows are always talking to you about?”,

Sighing, I knew I had to tell her the story of it. When I was done my mother was in deep thoughts. This usually meant she was deciding on what I should do.

After a moment of hard thinking, she finally looked up to me, and said, “You should go.”.

Shocked I was about to protest, but then my father cut in, “NO is NOT an option Kid!.”,

“Kid?” I asked him. Since when did my own father started to call me Kid?

I looked behind him to see, police and taxi oppa trying to contain their laughter. I had my answer to my question now.

“You should go.” Said Raki, as he came out from the room with Ruki holding his hand.

“You once said that she was your angel. And we know you miss her.” Said Ruki.

Oh how a nine year old could penetrate your heart with just simple words.

I looked down and thought about. I had my kids back, my friends and even my parents. But deep down I knew my family was still incomplete.

After a hard long thought, I nodded.

And everyone cheered.

The next day we all, and when I say all I meant every one of us, were on the plane to Korea.

When we landed, it was the day when I first saw her. The very same day I could see her.

I looked at the clock and saw the time, 8:56Am. Oh crap!!!! How am I gonna make it now?! I panicked, and then I felt someone pulled my arm.

I look to see my father tugging me to the exit and there was a black car, waiting for me.

“It’s my gift to you. Don’t worry about the kids. We’ll meet you there. Now go! Go catch that angel of yours and never let her go this time.” Said my father with a smile.

I jumped to hug him, then ran to the car. And the driver had already knew where I needed to go.

It was 9:32Am, when I reached the bridge, grasping for air. I made it. I actually made it!

I looked up and was about to walk to the spot I was always on, but stopped when I saw someone standing there.

It was Tiffany, a girl who was in Jessica’s girl group.

I was about to turn and leave after remembering the encounter of Jessica with everyone from her group staring at me.

Then she turned and saw me. You could swear that her eyes were about to pop out.

She ran up to me and grabbed my hand and pulled me along with her, while saying “Come with me!”,

“To where?” I asked her,

“To our dorms!”,

“What!!! Why?!”,

“Jessica.” Was all she said.

We ran passed my driver, who was about to run after me but stopped when I told him where I was going and to inform my family.

When we reached the dorms, we both were grasping for air, then Tiffany, looked at me and said, “Wait here.”.

But just before she could opened the door, I stopped her and asked, “Why?”,

“Why what?” she replied while giving a puzzled look,

“Why would you bring me here to meet her?”,

She then gave me a smile and said, “Cause you are her angel.”.

She went into the dorm and left me in awe. I was Jessica’s angel? Me?! I thought she was my angel! What?!!

I was pulled out of my thoughts, when I heard Tiffany telling me to come in. We went to the living room, and there on the couch was Jessica, staring. At what? I have no idea, cause Tiffany pushed me behind the wall and asked me to hide and wait.

“Sica there’s someone here to see you.” I could hear Tiffany say, and that was my cue to come out of hiding.

I looked at her, and saw that she was drained. Then she looked up and looked at me. Her eyes were wide with shock. She then crawled into a ball. Like she was trying to get her mind to stop playing tricks at her.

Tiffany was about to say something to her, but stopped when she saw me walk up to Jessica.

I knelt down at her, and took her hands into mine. Slowly I brought them closer to my lips, and kissed them.

My heart was racing like a thousand horses. I can’t believe that I just kissed her! Well her hands but still!

I then put my hand on her cheek and used my thumb to wipe away the tears that were falling down.

She then jerked up, and started to wipe away her tears but more kept coming. She then broke down crying. So I stood up to sit on the couch beside her, and pulled her into a hug, while I leaned my head on hers.

I heard her say, “You left! How could you leave me! You were meant to stay and watch over me forever!”,

Her words were like daggers piercing through me. I knew I hurt her badly but all I could say was, “I’m so sorry. Forgive me.”.

She then looked up at me, smiling weakly and nodded. I smiled and then kissed her on the forehead.

Soon the rest of MY family was here. And they saw everything. This is going to be an endless amount of teasing.

After awhile the rest of her group came back, and even her sister group. And when everyone was here, I told them or more like her what happened and why I didn’t come back to Korea. They seemed to understand my reason why. But knowing that they are girls they were not gonna let me off easy.

I stayed there on the couch, still hugging Jessica while everyone was getting to know each other. I could see all the girl’s going crazy over my kids. Haha! Of course any girl or guy would go crazy! After all they are my kids! Hahaha!

I then looked at Jessica, I don’t know how much time has passed but I didn’t care. She had stopped crying, and was just resting in my arms. I could literally shout on every mountain.

I then thought of the bridge. Something still needed to be fixed.

After thinking this, I asked Jessica, “Shall we go mend what I broke?”,

She gave me puzzled look, which made me chuckled cause it made her look SUPER CUTE! Then I said, “The bridge.”.

She immediately knew what I was talking about. We both stood up, and she went to her room to change. I stood outside her door waiting her. I could feel eyes on my back, I knew that everyone knew what we were up to.

When she got out, she look beautiful, I couldn’t help but smile.

I offered her my hand and she took it. Then we headed  towards the door, and to the bridge.

What I did next? Well I think I should let Jessica tell you this side. Hehe~~~
