Her pain
Crossed Paths"Misss Jung , Somin... where are you? are you ok?" Hyun Joong called Somin, but no response, then he tried to find her,but the elevator was in darkness; fortunately, the earthquake stopped, but when Hyun Joong found Somin, he noticed she had fainted, but ...
"No please. Don't do this to me... I have fear... don't leave me here... It's dark and there are rats ...please.... have mercy... I beg you please... No... Noooooo .....don't tied me...... noooooo" Somin was saying without being concious.
"Min, God... what happen to you.... MIn" Hyun Joong was worried while hugging Somin in the darkness.
"oppa oppa.... help me!!!!!...... Nooooo oppa!!!!! appa!!!! mom!!" Somin was crying in her nightmare.
"I want to help you....what can I do?" Hyun Joong was crying too and hugged her strongly.
"Seung Jo.... don't die.... you promise to.... reunite.. here.... you lie!" Somin was still crying.
"Me..... you remember me....." Hyun Joong was touched.
"No please .... don't do it please.... oppa... MInho........help..... stop.... no ..... release me.... don't do it.... please.....they are going to .....to me..... noooo ..... oppa.... save me.... Minho.... Yoona..... appa..... mom....se...ung.....jooooo!!!!" Somin shouted and awoke with crying eyes and noticed that she was embraced by someone.
"Where am I?... release me!" Somin said quickly.
"I'm sorry... As you fainted I had to find and take care of yourself...Miss Jung". Hyun Joong said and the light turned on and saw Somin's tears and his heart was broken to see her pain and shame.
"Thank you ...Mr. Park... I'm sorry for disturbing you.... I probably talked too much" Somin said.
"Don't worry, it appears we are trapped here and talking is a way to use the time" Hyun Joong smiled and Somin cleaned her tears and nodded.
"Miss Jung .. you said that you were secluded in a dark place with rats... were you kidnapped?" Hyun Joong asked with worry.
"No...I remembered that?... It was when I just came back Korea... almost fourteen years ago,I was bullied. I grew up overseas and they said I was a weirdo who brought shame ..... they tied me and closed me in a small and dark room at the school and left me at my fate..." Somin said.
"And your brother? and Minho?" Hyun Joong asked.
"I hadn't met Minho and my brother was in a contest in another school" Somin said.
"You were alone to face those bullies" Hyun Joong was upset and hurt with just imagining Somin's suffering.
"It was difficut they convinced me not to say anything about the mistreats until that day. I had fear, but that day I met a good friend Yoona, she saved me and we became bestfriends since then" Somin said with a slight smile.
"It's good to have a good friend on whom you can rely " Hyun Joong said and understood how strong Somin and Yoona's friendship is.
"Yess... I can trust in her completely" Somin said
"You..... also remembered how those men attacked you at the market.... and as I heard you were......in a terrible situation" Hyun Joong said almost asking.
"I also mention that..... I.... don't want to remember, but as I mentioned.... Yes I was in a huge danger.... they were ready to.... to... to" Somin was unable to continued.
"You said... that... they were about to you..... do they ..." Hyun Joong couldn't finished the sentence.
"No, thanks god that they couldn't... oppa and MInho came on time to rescue me.... but those man slapped me, almost strangled me and even tied me to silence me... they were violent I was frightened... if they had succeed it, I would have killed me myself. " Somin said trembling while remembering.
"Don't say that... I know you have fear and suffered too much, but your life is precious, you have to value yourself and be strong. When someone ends or tries to end his life; the people, who loves him or whom he loves , are the ones who suffered the most... I saw that myself." Hyun Joong said.
"Diiid someone in your family try to suicide?" Somin asked with concern.
"Well, years ago, my little sister's bestfriend who like family to us became an orphan, and plus other problems that brougth her a terrible depression as a consequence she tried to end her life .... If I hadn't been on time, she would be dead now. we passed difficult time trying to help her to recover. " Hyun Joong shared with Somin about Suzy's suicide attemp.
"Poor girl, I can't imagine to be an orphan being too young..... She and his sibblings woul have suffered a lot." Somin said.
"She is ony child." Hyun Joong said.
"Poor girl, ... you are a good person Hyun Joong, you and your family even help her to face that difficult situation." Somin replied.
"You probably need therapy. I think your friend Yoona can help you. I'm sure your brother and... Lee Minho can help you too" Hyun Joong explained feeling bad because he wanted to help her, but he thought Minho's presence it's more important to her and the current situtation with Lee Seung Jae, that will be dangeorus.
"Thank you for your advice, oppa told me the same, but I thought I can manage alone.... I think I was wrong." Somin said in defeat.
"And You also talked about someone called Seung Jo" Hyun Joong asked.
" Did I also mention Seung Jo?" Somin said and Hyun Joong nodded.
"He was my bestfriend ... we met each other when we were just kids far away of this country. He died almost fourteen years ago in a terrorism's attack at Peru He was too much young. We promised if one of us leave that place, we will reunite again, but life never permits us to fulfill it" Somin said with sadness making Hyun Joong remember the day they made that promise and sadness overflooded his heart because now he is feeling more strongly the pain of being dead to world , to Somin.
"Do you still miss him? ... well now you have Minho to support you" Hyun Joong asked.
"He was important not only to me but also my brother... our family still misses him... me too... the worst was the way of his death too unfair, You're right ....I have Minho's support, but it can't erase the fact an innocent person who was valuable to us died in a cruel way" Somin said with teary eyes hurting Hyun Joong. A that moment a voice was heard.
"Min... are you OK? Did you heard my voice? " Minho asked.
"Minho ...is it you? Don't worry I am OK." Somin said.
"Min the earthquake was strong, but fortunately this building was designed to suport this kind of situation. I was worried looking you when I heard that an elevator stopped....the secuity and maintenance team are working to rescue you.... and " Minho was talking when someone talked too.
"Miss Jung ... did you see Mr. Park we were looking for him? I'm the chief of his security" His main bodyguad asked.
"Don't worry A1 I'm here trapped too. " Hyung Joong replied.
"Mr. Park, we were searching you...A2 and the rest of the team are helping the maintenance and security team to solve this problem. I'll go with them too. It appears that the video is lost, but don't worry. The problem will be solved in no time trust us." A1 said and left.
"I'm sorry Mr. Park.. I never ask if someone was trapped too." Minho said.
"Don't worry ... we are fine. as you said the building is strong. " Hyun Joong replied.
"Good to know. Min don't worry... everything will be OK...and then we will go out wherever you want to go. I promise" Minho said.
"Thank you Minho." Somin said. Sometime later, they were rescued and go to Minho office when Somin told Minho how she fainted during the earthquake and how Hyun Joong talked to her and help her to relax ad how the difficult situation that she has faced caused her fear that exploded at being trapped in darkness and how helpful was Hyun Joong's support. Then, Hyun Joong came after talking to his security team.
"Mr. Park. I want to thank you for helping my girlfriend, she experience a nervous attack there and your help was essential." Minho said.
"Don't worry about it" Hyun Joong said.
"even thought we have to thank you" Somin said.
"Thank you and Don't worry about it Miss Jung, Lee Minho" Hyun Joong said.
"Well Mr. Park if you want you can call me Minho, we are about the same age and we are no more stranger not after what you do for my girlfriend, we are partners and with the time we can become good friends" Minho said with sincerity.
"You can call me Somin instead of Miss Jung if you want as Minho said we are not strangers anymore." Somin added.
"I'm sorry if I was too formal, but we tend to be formal at business, even my bestfriend at the USA said me Mr. Park in front of people who are not much near us. However, as you said we are partners. Don't worry about it and You can call me Hyun Joong."
"It will be strange not to call him Mr. Park" Somin said.
"Don't worry I will do as brother who call you Park Hyun Joong or my father who call you by your name instead." Minho smiled.
"Sometime ago your father asked me if he and Ji Hoon can call me by my name" Hyun Joong explained.
"I didn't know about that" Minho replied and Somin and Hyun Joong noticed how Minho was excluded
