Foreigner yet Stranger

A THING TO FIGHT

 

 


“You.. WHAT?!! YA! KIM BORA! HOW COME YOU BE THIS STUPID?!!”

 

A yell can be heard from the other side through the phone. Makes Sua quickly push her phone away from her poor ear, just to save her eardrums from that loud voice that almost makes her deaf instantly.
Sure enough if the person on the other side start to calm down. Now it’s the time to shout back. Well, no one can stop the loudest among the cousins. KIM BORA.

 

“YA KIM MINJI! YOU DON’T NEED TO YELL AT ME LIKE THAT! IF YOU WERE ME, I KNOW YOU PROBABLY GONNA DO THE SAME AS ME!”

 

“YES I WILL! BUT, YOU NEED TO STAY AWARE TOO! STUPID KIM BORA! WHAT IF THAT GUY YOU HELPED IS THE KILLER WHO CHASE US FOR ALL THIS TIME?!!!!”

 

“YOU WORRIED TOO MUCH! GUESS I SHOULD REMIND YOU THAT I’M THE BEST FIGHTER AMONG US!! EVEN YUNHO ADMIT THAT!!”

 

“IT’S A DIFFERENT CASE, YOU IDIOT!! GUESS I SHOULD REMIND YOU TOO, IF I’M THE BEST MARKSMAN AMONG US AND REMEMBER THERE’S A LOT OF UNKNOWNS PEOPLE TRY TO KILL US!”

 

“YA KIM MINJI! YOU IDIOT TOO!! I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF, EVEN YUNHO GIVE ME A PERMISSION TO STAY IN OUR HOUSE BY MYSELF WHILE YOU’RE BUSY WITH YOUR MEETING IN PARIS!! AND HANDONG IN CHINA-“

 

“I don’t want to get involved, here. But I agree with Jiu-unnie. You should be aware Sua-unnie”

 

“BOOMMM!!! YOU HEARD THAT?!!”

 

“WHAT?! HANDONG, REALLY????!!”

 

Sua sigh in disbelief when she can hear a voice from the youngest among them, and she got annoyed immediately when she can feel Jiu smiling in victory on the other side

 

“But, I also agree. Sua unnie can take care of herself-“

 

“BOOMMMM!! YOU HEARD THAT KIM MINJII?!!!”

 

Sua smile so wide and snapped, not even let Handong to finish her words first. In the other hand, Sua know if Jiu nor Handong are probably surprise by her sudden voice. But she doesn’t care,

 

“You.. don’t need to yell, unnie”

 

Handong’s voice sounds so limp the moment after a sudden silence caused of Sua’s voice before, makes Sua let out a soft laugh as she apologizes to the youngest. But, no longer after that, Jiu’s voice can be heard. Yelling back at Sua, saying that Sua’s voice almost makes her deaf and all, and how so annoyed that voice is, makes Sua immediately yelling back and say these and those things just to fight Jiu back on the phone. While, Handong in the other side just sigh over her childish cousins. She wants to hung up but she knows better to not to. Cause if she do that, Jiu and Sua probably gonna spit the fire on her like what they do to each other now

 

“YOU BETTER REMEMBER THIS KIM MINJI! ONCE YOU BACK HOME, I’M GONNA-“

 

Sua stoped her sentence out of sudden, when she can hear a sound coming out from her room. Makes her wonder for a second, questioning what is that sounds in her mind until she remembers something, just in the same time as Jiu asking her if she is still there or

 

“Yo, Kim Bora.. are you still the-“

 

“I think she’s awake”

 

Sua cut Jiu sentence makes the oldest among them frown on the other side. But none of the cousins can see it, cause they just talking on the phone. And it just a voice call not a video call

 

“She? Is the person you brought home is a girl?”

 

It’s Handong voice this time, but Sua not answer it immediately as she slowly get up from sofa and walk to her room. Leaving the living room with her phone still on her ear. She nodded quietly to answer Handong’s question. Just to realize a second later if they’re not facing each other. Makes her feels like an idiot

 

“Uh, yeah. She’s a girl”

 

“Oh, really? Well, seems like I should agree with you again this time, Sua-unnie”

 

“Huh? Why now?”

 

“Well, Jiu-unnie is too worried”

 

Sua almost burst in laugh as she heard how innocent Handong’s voice sounds like, but also she can imagine smirk suddenly appeared on Handong’s face when she said that. Handong maybe looks like an angel, but deep inside she is an evil too. She is not innocent at all

 

“Handong-ah, I would buy you a lot of chocolates from Paris. Just if you stop agreeing with anything that makes me feels like an idiot. How’d you think?”

 

“Unnie, even if I didn’t do that. I know you’re still buy me chocolate”

 

“Of course I am! You’re my cutie pie lovely cousin I love you so much more than that loud woman who acts like an old lady”

 

“Okay, enough. I’m still here. And I’m gonna hung up now”

 

“Oh, you’re gonna greet her? Okay then, call us if something happens. Police not really help you”

 

“Oh, savage Handong. You start sounding like Gahyeon”


“Uhh, I’m starting to miss her. My lovely dear little sister”

 

“Umm.. just to remind you, Handong-ssi. Gahyeon is my little sister”

 

“Nope! She is our little sister!!”

 

“Whatever you say Kim Minji, I’ll hang up now. Talk to you guys later”

 

Sua hang up immediately not even wait for Jiu nor Handong to respond as she already right in front of her room. Placed her phone into her pocket, Sua slowly grab the doorknob and opened her room quietly just to see a girl sitting on the side of her bed. Looking so confused

 

“Oh you’re awake?”

 

Sua walk closer to the girl who just can lift her head staring at Sua in wonder, questioning what just happens inside her mind while not even break an eye contact with Sua who seems got the signal and start to explain whatever that girl needs to know

 

“Well, I found you on my way back home. You fainted on the side of road, and I think you robbed. Cause I can’t find anything except your id that said you’re a Japanese but strange enough your name sounds so Korean.. also since it’s a little bit late, and the police office kinda far. I decided to take you with me. Is it enough to answer your question for now?”

 

Sua tell that foreigner yet stranger a very quick story of why she is in Sua’s house right now. And upon hearing that, that girl just can lowered her head, seems like thinking for awhile or maybe try to remember what just happened. Until she suddenly feel a sudden headache creeping into her head makes her quickly bring her hand to her head. Seeing that Sua immediately becomes so panic yet kinda worried and rush to that girl while grabbing the latter hands without even notice it

 

“H-hey, are you okay?”

 

“Y-yes.. it just headaches”

 

“Wait here, I’m gonna get a medicine- ugh! I just remembered you’ve just awake, you probably not even had dinner. Wait, I’ll gonna make a dinner”

 

Sua quickly pull her hands back and almost rush out of the room just if that stranger hand hadn’t stop her. Feeling a grip on her wrist, frown can be seen on Sua’s face as she staring at that girl in confused. Knowing that, that girl just staring back at Sua while still trying hard to deal with the pain in her head

 

“No need to.. I’ll get going now. Thanks for your kindness Miss..”

 

“I’m Sua, Kim Sua. And.. are you sure you want to leave with that condition of yours?”

 

“Y-yeah.. I guess..”

 

That girl looks kinda hesitated to answer but stand up slowly just to lost her balance a second later. Lucky Sua has a good reflex and catch that girl immediately before she fall to the floor. Knowing that, the girl just can sigh and curse inside her mind. But Sua can notice that, makes her slowly lead that girl to sit on her bed again

 

“You’re not going anywhere.. in that condition. I can’t just let you leave. What if you faint again, and there’s a guy found you and do something bad to you?”

 

“Uhh.. I don’t know”

 

“Then, great. Cause I’m not gonna let you leave. Stay here until tomorrow. I don’t mind. Anyway, do you perhaps know where’d you wanna go?”

 

Sua strike that question out of her mind. The question that keep ringing in her head once she see that girl seems like really want to leave, like she knows where she should go. Makes Sua kinda wonder but, upon seeing that girl not even answering her question right away makes Sua just can sigh deeply as she shake her head

 

“You want to leave awhile ago, but you’re not even know where to go?”

 

“Uhh.. maybe, I’ll gonna go to the police office?”

 

“Miss, I’m sorry. It’s almost midnight and the police office kinda far. Are you serious you want to go there? This late? With that condition?”

 

Sua glance to the side, point out the digital clock that placed on a tiny table beside her bed before her gaze back to that girl that looks kinda unsure with whatever she’s want to do after this. Should she stay here for a night. Or should she go.
Cause they’re stranger to each other.. and those keep wandering inside her mind until Sua snapped her back from her thought to the reality

 

“I don’t want your answer in this case, miss. I’m sorry for being like this. But this also for your own safety”

 

Sua said that, full of emphasis in every words that coming out from while she walk to her cabinet. Pull out her oversized shirt and pants, that she think can suit that girl. In the other hand, that girl seems still busy with her thoughts as she still try to remember what just happened and the results is there’s nothing she can remember even she’s can’t remember if she is a Japanese person with a Korean name just until she notice there’s her id beside that digital clock. But, still she can’t remember anything even with her own id in her hand

 

“You looks like you have something in your mind”

 

That girl immediately lift her head just to found Sua standing in front of her with some of clothes in her hand, but that girl not even bother to ask what that clothes for. Cause she already sure with the answer. Glancing to Sua for awhile that girl just stay quiet until her gaze back on her id

 

“.. it’s just... I can’t remember anything..”

 

“Someone might hit your head really hard. But strange enough I’m not find any blood when I found you”

 

Sua placed the clothes beside the girl while she said that, makes that girl staring at Sua for awhile until frown can be seen on her face

 

“Why you think I’m robbed?”

 

“Simple. You’ve got nothing with you, except your id. Even I can’t find your phone. If your phone still with you, I might be not gonna bring you home with me. And based on your id technically you’re not a Korean so it’s kinda confused with where I should took you. And I’m too lazy to drive my car to the police office. That’s why you ended up here. And if you got some questions in your mind already. Save it for later. You can change your clothes and take a bath if you want, I’ll gonna go to make a quick yet late dinner so you can take your medicine”

 

And with that, Sua walk out of the room. Leaving that girl behind to do whatever she wants. Sua doesn’t really care, they’re stranger to each other anyway. In this case she just being responsible as she is the only one who bring that stranger or technically a foreigner with her. So she just being kind to that girl, making her a dinner and take care of her until tomorrow. That’s what she think. But it seems like, that girl gonna be with her for such a long time after she got a message from her bodyguard who is with Handong in China right now

 

‘Lee Siyeon. Born in South Korea, 1995 October 1st. Nationality, Japanese. An orphan. She grow up in orphanages in Osaka, Japan. I found that, her parents going to Japan a couple days after she is born. And founded dead, a couple weeks later in their apartment in Japan. Both of her parents are Korean, but change their nationality to Japanese once they arrived in Japan. It says her parents committed a suicide caused of economic problems. Then leave a letter in Korean language, pleading anyone to take care of their daughter. And teach her Korean. No wonder if she can speak Korean fluently. And I found that she is a part time worker in Japan. And she come to Korea to search for her other family. That’s it. There’s nothing suspicious I think?’

 

Sua read it carefully as she stop her cooking sessions for awhile before she continue it after she placed her phone back into her pocket. Not forget to send a short message to her bodyguard say that he should take care of Handong, and also himself. And type a short thank you for the information she got from her bodyguard which she already considers as her own brother. The brother she never had.

 

“Umm.. is there anything I can help?”

 

Sua snapped her head to the side, just to found that girl aka Lee Siyeon standing there. Not far from her. Looks nice in Sua’s oversized shirt and a long training pants. Seeing that, Sua just feel proud to herself before she turn her gaze back and continue her cooking

 

“I almost done. Just take a seat, I’m gonna serve it in any second”

 

And like what Sua just say, in any second there’s a late dinner already in front of Siyeon. It’s a simple dinner tho, but Siyeon seems really like it as she eat it without even let a single words coming out from . Sometimes she will take a sip from her drink just to continue her eating. Seeing that, Sua just can smile also feels kinda cringe see that girl eats hungrily. But deep inside, Sua very happy to see her in that state. And very thankful that her cook not turn into a mess this time

 

“Here’s your medicine. After this you can sleep in my room. I’m gonna sleep on the sofa”

 

Sua said that in such a calm tone, but Siyeon seems caught off guard as she choke on her drink. But lucky she already swallow her medicine down and now staring at Sua in disbelief

 

“Wait, what??? You’re gonna sleep on the.. sofa????”

 

“Yes, is there something wrong with that?”

 

“Of course it is. How can you even sleep on the sofa???”

 

“Well, I have no option tho. And all of bedrooms in this house are locked by their owner. Anyway it’s not a big deal.. I’ve been sleeping on the sofa for quiet often honestly”

 

“But still.. how can I- lets sleep together! How can I let you sleep on the sofa when you’re the owner of this house?!”

 

“... come on, it’s not a big-“

 

“No, I don’t want to hear your answer. Or it will be good if I’m the only one who sleep on the so-“

 

“No, you’re sick. I’m not gonna let you”

 

“Then we’ve got no option”

 

And with that they ended up sleeping next to each other on Sua’s queen size bed with a bolster between them as Sua can hear a soft breath on the other side as she not even sleep yet. She still thinking what she should do with the girl beside her once the morning comes. She sure that girl would stay with her for a week or maybe more than that and she feel uneasy by thinking about that. Not to mention it.. she is being chased by unknown people these days, these months since her dad dead a year ago. And she can’t get Siyeon involved in. She can’t let the foreigner girl in danger.. just because of her. She think, Siyeon is too innocent to get in danger

 

—————

 

“Are you got amnesia? How can you not even remember a single thing about yourself????”

 

“Umm.. it’s not like that.. but I think it might be right. If just they took my id too, I’m pretty sure that I might be not knowing who my name is”

 

Siyeon said in such an innocent tone, makes Sua just can sigh while massage her forehead that just feel a headache out of sudden. Morning just come, and the first thing to greet her in this morning is the possibility that maybe.. Siyeon got amnesia. She doesn’t know what to do in this situation, she also lost her appetite to eat her breakfast this morning just because of their early conversation

 

“I’m sorry..”

 

Sua suddenly lift her head, staring at the girl across her that just can lowered her head while staring at her breakfast that cook by Sua.
Through her eyes, Sua can find if that girl feels guilty. But in Sua’s mind actually, Siyeon being amnesia is not really a big deal to her. It just she is scared if the unknown people will show up out of nowhere and seeing her with Siyeon. It will makes Siyeon also be their target. And when it happens, Sua afraid if she can’t protect Siyeon..
She doesn’t want something bad happen to that girl..

 

“Let’s see a doctor after you finish your breakfast. We should check your condition first, after that we can go to police office”

 

Sua say it in such a manner tone, while watch every single move Siyeon made. But after hearing that, Siyeon feels more guilty as she feel she just burdened Sua. Technically they just know each other last night. Why even Sua care that much about her anyway? She just can drop her in front of the police office this morning and leave after that. But, why Sua even want to take her to see a doctor? Just to check her condition? Is not even important to her..
Why Sua care?

 

“Sua-ssi. You don’t need to do that. I’m very thankful for everything you did. All of this.. all of this already makes me feel uncomfortable.. I don’t want to burden you, more than this. So, for our own good.. I’m gonna leave after th-“

 

“UNNIE!! WHY YOU NOT ANSWERING MY CALL?!”

 

A loud voice suddenly echoing in the whole house to the dining room, suddenly cut Siyeon’s sentence as she turn her head to the side. While Sua just can slap her own forehead when she suddenly remembers something once she heard that familiar voice of her little sister. No need to wait any longer a small figure with a cute face already entered the dining room and almost rushed to Sua if she just not aware with Siyeon’s existence

 

“... umm... unnie? Who is this?”

 

Siyeon just can blink her eyes in repeat as she can see the other girl that somehow looks like Sua but kinda different, right now standing not far from them while pointing her index finger to Siyeon. With that innocent face, that girl staring at Sua with questioning look while waiting for Sua to answer her question

 

“Her name is Lee Siyeon-“

 

“Is Lee Siyeon-ssi is your girlfriend?”

 

And with that, Sua quickly snapped her head to the side. Widened her eyes in disbelief staring at her sister, while Siyeon just can stay silent as she also too surprised after hearing that out of that girl mouth. But in the other hand that girl seems not even feel guilty towards what she just said as she glance to Sua and Siyeon for awhile before she change her index finger to her thumb and smile innocently to Siyeon

 

“You got my permission sist. I hope you can deal with this evil lady. But beside that, you know she is hot”

 

That girl smirk mischievously as she playing with her brows while staring at Siyeon who seems so speechless upon hearing that. While Sua can’t believe what she just heard makes her just can drop her jaw, before she back to her sense and rush to that girl and quickly lock her head between her arms

 

“YA! LEE GAHYEON!! WHAT YOU JUST SAY?!! YOU PIECE OF SH-“

 

“UNNIE NO CURSE!! OR I’M GONNA REPORT YOU TO JIU-UNNIE!!”

 

“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! JIU IS NOT EVEN HERE!”

 

“AT LEAST YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR IMAGE IN FRONT OF YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!”

 

“WHAT?! SHE IS NOT-“

 

“SIYEON-UNNIE! HELP ME!!! YOUR GIRLFRIEND GONNA KILL ME!!! HELPPP!!!!”

 

“STOP THERE! YOU LITTLE-“

 

“Sua-ssi.. can you let go of her, please?”

 

That unsure voice suddenly come out, makes Sua and her sister aka Lee Gahyeon stop yelling to each other and move their gaze to Siyeon who looks so nervous cause she doesn’t know if what she just did is the right thing or not. She also afraid if Sua would yelling at her after what she just said. But it seems she got lucky on her side, cause after that she can see Sua slowly let go of Gahyeon but send that girl a death glare. Notice that, Gahyeon just can raised the side of her lips before she take her tongue out makes Sua feels so annoyed and almost hit Gahyeon with her fist if just that girl not fast enough to hide behind Siyeon

 

“Unnie! Help me! She want to hit me!”

 

“YA! LEE GAH-“

 

“Sua-ssi.. calm down..”

 

Siyeon stand up immediately when Sua quickly approached her, absolutely to reach Gahyeon who are hiding behind.
Seeing Siyeon in front of her, Sua immediately send the latter a death glare but it seems it doesn’t really work on Siyeon cause Siyeon just smile feels uncomfortable somehow while lift her hand in shoulder height. Begging Sua to calm down through her eyes, but Sua just being stubborn as she is and it makes Siyeon just can sigh before she decided to give up and let the two sisters chase each other with her being in the middle

 

—————

 

“Yes, she got amnesia”

 

“Why I’m not even surprised by that?”

 

Sua whisper under her breath after heard that from the doctor who start to explain what is going on with Siyeon and what she should do if Siyeon got a sudden headache and ask Sua if she want to let Siyeon do a therapy. In the end Sua just say if they’re gonna discuss it first and left after that. Once she coming out from the doctor room she can see Siyeon and Gahyeon are sitting while talk happily not far from her

 

“I don’t know how much memories are gone. But, honestly she is more like got brainwashed instead of amnesia. An amnesia usually can remember such a little of their memories, even though she is not sure if it’s a memory or a fantasy. But Lee Siyeon-ssi can’t even remember a single thing of her memories so I’m pretty sure she got brainwashed. But.. if it’s true.. then I have another question..”

 

“Why those guys not even put a fake memories on her?”

 

The words from the doctor before suddenly cross in Sua’s mind as she slowly walk towards Siyeon and Gahyeon who seems aware of her existence. Seeing that, Sua just offered them a tiny smile before give them a signal through her gaze. Knowing what that gaze means, Gahyeon and Siyeon immediately get up and follow Sua from behind while Gahyeon try to match her step with Sua leaving Siyeon who just watch them from behind with a tiny smile on her face

 

“So, what’s the doctor said?”

 

Gayheon immediately offers Sua a question once she entered the car and done put a seatbelt on her. Meanwhile Siyeon is on the back, already pay attention to the front once Gahyeon let the question out of her lips, waiting Sua to answer the question from the youngest among them.
When Sua in the doctor room before, Siyeon and Gahyeon actually have a little conversation between them included the fact if Siyeon isn’t Sua’s girlfriend. Upon hearing that, Gahyeon immediately burst in laughter as she said she aware bout that, and say if she just want to sister but she also said if Siyeon is actually her sister’s girlfriend too. She will also give her a permission, just if Siyeon can pass the category. Heard that, Siyeon feels amused and just let that topic sink as they start to talk with how can she be in Sua’s house before. And by that, Siyeon just tell Gahyeon the same thing like what Sua had told her. And after that, Siyeon doesn’t remember how the conversation goes as she in the end know if Sua and Gahyeon are really a biological sister. But they got a different surname caused of their parents divorced when they’re still kids. Upon hearing that Siyeon just can nod her head even if she want to ask where’s their parents at that time. But Siyeon know better to not to..

 

“Siyeon-unnie????”

 

That voice suddenly can be heard by Siyeon, pulling herself out of her mind as she jump on her seat, before she glancing to the front just to found Gahyeon pout on her while Sua focus on the road.
Blinking her eyes for a several times she finally get herself back and just offered Gahyeon her sheepish smile

 

“I’m sorry, what is it Gahyeon?”

 

Gahyeon sigh deeply as she heard that coming out from Siyeon. Glancing to her sister for a second, Gahyeon immediately staring back at Siyeon after rolled her eyes over Siyeon’s act who just smile feels guilty somehow

 

“I say we’re gonna stop by my father’s grave for a moment. Is it okay with you?”

 

Siyeon immediately raised one of her eyebrows when she heard that. She feels amaze somehow cause even if she’s not asking, she will unknowingly get the answer for the question in her mind. Somehow she feel grateful for that. Until she realized she is not even react to Gahyeon’s sentence till the youngest wave her hand right in front of Siyeon’s face a moment later

 

“.... You surely should get therapy”

 

Gahyeon sigh while shake her head slowly, staring at Siyeon such in pity way. But that’s not what makes Siyeon snapped her eyes wide open but the words that coming out from Gahyeon’s mouth that left her staring at Gahyeon in confused. Thinking that if she misheard what Gahyeon just say

 

“I’m sorry.. I think I misheard-“

 

“The doctor said you really got amnesia and offered you to do a therapy to dig some of your forgotten memories that you can’t even remember even a little piece of your memories. But of course to do that, we should ask you if you want to do it or not-“

 

“And lucky you just forgot your memories. Imagine if you’re forget how to speak, or how to walk, or how to open your eyes. Phew.. it will be your worst day ever”

 

“Gahyeon, it’s not the right time to joking around”

 

Sua warned her little sister, not even look at the latter. But from the side of her eyes Sua can see how Gahyeon grin widely as she say sorry in her original tone. But again Sua just try to ignore her as she stay focus on the road. Driving her car to where her father’s grave is while Gahyeon and Siyeon start to talking and sometimes joking around until..

 

“We’re arrived”

 

“Okay! Let’s go Siyeon-unnie! I’m gonna introduce you to my Dad as Sua’s unnie girlfriend!”

 

Gahyeon said it happily as she jump out of the car, ignored the glare that Sua sending to her. While Siyeon in the other hand, just can curved a tiny smile, not sure how to react over Gahyeon who quickly pull her out of the car and run to her father’s grave with Siyeon who trying so hard to match their steps leaving Sua behind. Seeing how excited her sister is makes Sua kinda wonder what is wrong with Gahyeon cause it’s the first time to her to see Gahyeon act like that in front of a person that she barely know. But then, she just shrugged it off even though she feels something is kinda off

 

“Dad! Sua-unnie, Jiu-unnie, and Dongie-unnie did a great job with the business! It’s grow like this!! You should tell uncle and auntie too! Would you?!”

 

Sua just got to her father’s grave a second before her smile suddenly appeared on her face once she heard Gahyeon words.
Gahyeon somehow looks so excited as she talk to their father’s grave like their father is still alive. Even she can see Gahyeon makes some gesture just to support her story, while Siyeon who standing beside Gahyeon just can staring at her with an understanding smile as she glance to their father’s grave for a seconds before her gaze back again to Gahyeon. For a moment they just stay there, hearing Gahyeon talking by herself and sometimes Sua and Siyeon would join the conversation once Gahyeon mention their name until it’s the time for them to leave

 

“I’m gonna come here again, dad! And when that time comes, I’ll tell you a lot of story!”

 

Gahyeon smile widely as she wave her hand to her father’s grave while Sua and Siyeon who already near the car just can smile while staring at the youngest who still not step away from the grave.
For a minute they just stand still, wait for Gahyeon to finish saying her goodbyes. But little did they know, an empty gaze suddenly appeared in Gahyeon’s eyes as she still staring at her father’s grave. There’s no emotion as she let out her voice that’s sounds so different compare to her voice a few seconds ago. Even right now, Gahyeon seems so different. But no one realizes that as they are already far

 

“I hope everything works out”

 

—————

 

“I TOLD YOU THE POLICE DIDN’T REALLY HELP! THEY JUST SAY THESE AND THOSE THINGS JUST TO PRETEND LIKE THEY ARE CARE WHEN ACTUALLY THEY ARE NOT!”

 

“I KNOW! YOU DON’T NEED TO SHOUT ON ME LIKE THAT! I JUST DO WHAT I NEED TO DO! EVEN THOUGH IT’S USELESS!”

 

“YOU KNOW IT’S USELESS AND THEN YOU STILL DO IT?! THAT’S WHY YOU DESERVED TO BE CALLED AS AN IDIOT!!”

 

“WHAT?! WHY AM I AN IDIOT?! YOU DON’T EVEN DO ANYTHING! ALL THING THAT YOU DO IS YELLING AROUND!!”

 

“I’M YELLING SO YOU CAN HEAR ME TELLING YOU THAT YOU’RE TOTALLY AN IDIOT!!”

 

“YA!! YOU-“

 

“I’m sorry to interrupt the both of you.. but can you stop for a second? The Ice Cream are already here for seems like forever”

 

Gahyeon and Sua quickly snapped their head to the side and stop yelling to each other when the voice that absolutely come from Siyeon cut their yelling fight. Lucky for Siyeon cause the sisters seems like obey her and eating their own ice cream a second later without spitting the fire out. But still if it’s some of drama or maybe anime Siyeon probably can see a lightning strike between their eyes that glaring to each other even though their mouth busy eating ice cream. Seeing this, somehow makes Siyeon think if it can be called a bad luck to get helped by Sua and meeting Gahyeon? Or it’s some kind of gift from God but wrapping by some of unfortunate? Siyeon never know

 

“I gotta go for a minute. I need to use the restroom”

 

“Okay, hurry back. You don’t want us to burn this place, right?”

 

Gahyeon say it out, but not even took a glance to Siyeon since her eyes still glaring at Sua while the latter seems try to ignored Gahyeon’s gaze on her and start to enjoy her ice cream. Realize that, Siyeon kinda feel relief cause somehow Sua can be mature at this moment even though there’s no guarantee if she is not gonna turn into the scary lady again and fight her own little sister. But beside that, she can tell Sua actually has a great control of her emotion, even she is the one who talk to the police and explain the whole situation about Siyeon. But then the police said it will take some times to process Siyeon’s case. Maybe one or two months from now and then something pissed Gahyeon off when the police seems like ask for the money just to make the process kinda fast. At that time Sua almost give her money, but Siyeon stop her. And Gahyeon pull Sua out immediately, and from what Siyeon had see.. Gahyeon looks like she really hate the police and then they decided to go to ice cream shop. Order some ice cream, and then the yelling fight start and leaving Siyeon in the middle of sisters that spitting fire to each other

 

“Be right back. Don’t do anything till I’m back, okay?”

 

Siyeon glancing to Gahyeon and Sua repeatedly. Siyeon doesn’t know why but, at this moment somehow she feels like a baby sister who took care of the troublesome siblings that can’t be left for just a second. But again, Siyeon can’t ignore the fact if this troublesome siblings is the one who helped her from whatever that could happen to her if just Sua didn’t find her and take her that time. And then with a nod from the sisters, Siyeon finally step away to the restroom direction leaving Sua and Gahyeon with a tense air between them. Just a few second after Sua suddenly see a guy not far from them, that looks suspicious get up immediately from his seat.
For a few minutes Sua seems thinking for awhile, staring at that guy that seems like take the same direction as Siyeon.. it took a few seconds for Sua until something suddenly click in her mind makes her get up from her seat immediately just to startled Gahyeon in the process

 

“WHAT THE-“

 

“SIYEON!”

 

Sua seems so panic as she staring at Gahyeon while saying Siyeon’s name. For a few seconds Gahyeon just blink blankly before her eyes widened when she get what Sua’s mean as the older quickly run towards the way Siyeon was take before, telling Gahyeon to take the opposite way. Heard that, Gahyeon quickly nod her head and leave her ice cream. Lucky they already pay for the ice creams, so Gahyeon wouldn’t feel guilty about that.
While running to the opposite way, Gahyeon can see from afar that Siyeon being drag by some unknown people to the small alley makes Gahyeon quickly run towards them while her hand reach her phone and dial Sua’s number

 

“D-“

 

“I found her! Some guy drag her away! I’m chasing them right now!”

 

“WHAT?! NO, GAHYEON IT’S TOO DANGEROUS! TELL ME WHERE YOU-“

 

“THERE’S NO TIME! I TAKE CARE BY MYSELF!”

 

“NO, GAHYEON! LISTEN TO ME-“

 

“I’M NOT A KIM! THEY’VE GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!”

 

“STILL! YOU ARE MY SISTER! WE RELATED! TECHNICALLY YOU’RE STILL A KIM TOO!”

 

“UNNIE! I’M NOT EASY AND YOU KNOW THAT! JUST GO HOME! YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE IN DANGER IF THEY FIND YOU!”

 

“But-“

 

“Please.. listen to me”

 

Gahyeon say it softly, hope Sua will listen to her.
Still running, Gahyeon glance to her surroundings just to make sure she know where she is while trace the way which she assumes as the way those guys took. Short of breath, Gahyeon slow her step in the same time as she heard Sua sigh deeply on the other side of her phone

 

“.... okay. I leave it to you. Come back safely. You and Siyeon”

 

“Roger ma’am”

 

Gahyeon smile widely as she say that, even though actually the smile on her face isn’t because she feels relieved that Sua finally listen to her. The only reason why that wide smile appeared on her face is no other than because what she is see right now makes her hand that actually grab a gun on her back slowly loosen a grip on it.

 

‘People can kill the memories. Not the instinct’

 

Gahyeon try to manage her breath as she watching Siyeon not far from her already knock those guys down. But she also can notice how hard Siyeon manage her breath, as Siyeon standing there with a sharp gaze until a sudden headache creeping into her head makes her quickly bring her hand to grab her head. Try to ease the pain.
Seeing that, Gahyeon sigh deeply before she decided to rush and hold Siyeon body that almost fall to the ground

 

—————

 

“Just why they are not coming back yet?”

 

Sua walk around while biting her nail, sometimes she will glance to her phone just in case if Gahyeon call her or there’s any notification from the latter. But there’s none.
After that she will glance to the clock just to grab her hair in frustration a second later.
It just makes her getting more worried every second time pass while waiting for the two. And the fact it’s pretty late already doesn’t makes her feel any better until she can hear a front door suddenly open showing the two that she been worried of

 

“Thank God. You’re here. Are those guys following you?”

 

“Seriously, is that the thing you would ask when this lovely little sister of yours finally show up after nearly die a few moments ago??? I can’t believe this!”

 

Gahyeon step inside while holding Siyeon, helping the older to walk. Even though Siyeon for a many times already say if she can walk by herself, but in this case Gahyeon just being stubborn as she actual is.
Walk pass Sua, Gahyeon just can glare to her older sister who looks taken aback and slightly annoyed as she staring at her sister who slowly let go of Siyeon and lead the older to sit on the sofa. Seeing that, Sua just can sigh roughly as she close the door and not forget to lock it

 

“Stop exaggerating Gahyeon, you’re the only one who ask me to go home first and is there anything wrong if I ask you that question???”

 

Sua walk closer to the two while glancing slightly to Siyeon, just to make sure if she is okay before her gaze fully on Gahyeon who just can rolled her eyes over Sua’s words. At least, Sua know if her little sister is okay by her act that always success to makes her very annoyed

 

“Guess I need to remind you, unnie. This house a.k.a mansion is built on the hill and surrounded by a lot of trees a.k.a forest and you need to know the hidden track to get to this mansion without being astray. Even I, myself, me and Siyeon-unnie are almost lost in the forest. But lucky cause this little sister of yours is smarter than you so we finally found the right way and finally can get to this mansion. End of story”

 

Sua face palmed as she heard every words that coming out too smoothly from Gahyeon’s lips, even she can see perfectly how Gahyeon moving her hands just to support her every single words

 


“... please remind me again, why you’re my sister?”

 

“Easy. Cause we look alike but not really look alike, but our personality are like copy then paste”

 

“Well, thank you”

 

“Anytime sist. Honestly sometimes I wonder why Dad built this mansion? We just came here for some short of holiday, then it turns to be a hidden place out of sudden”

 

Gahyeon start to looking around the house that actually a mansion. Probably recall the memories in her head before she snapped her head to the side. Staring at Siyeon who looks so tired, resting her head on top of the sofa while closing her eyes. Seeing that, Gahyeon immediately glancing to Sua who just nod like she knows what Gahyeon means by her gaze. Seeing that, Gahyeon just smile widely as she get up from the sofa and take her leave

 

“Are you not gonna stay here for tonight? It’s quite late”

 

Sua sounds kinda worried as she see how dark the night as she accompanied Gahyeon to the front door. But the youngest just chuckle a little as she put on her shoes and staring at Sua with the same smile that Sua found attractive from the latter

 

“What is this? Are you my sister?? You sounds so strange”

 

“Geez, I just try to be a good sister you know?”

 

Sua rolled her eyes in annoyed while Gahyeon just laugh over her before the latter slowly shaking her head and finally take her leave after wave her hands to Sua. Seeing that, Sua just wave back and staring at the back of her sister before she is nowhere to be see. Usually, Sua would take Gahyeon home by the car, since Gahyeon live with their mother in such a small apartment. It isn’t taking a long time to get there even by walking. But in this situation, Sua can’t help but let Gahyeon get home by herself since she got another responsibility to take care of. Even though she is kinda worried, deep inside her, she actually know if Gahyeon isn’t a weak girl. She know her sister can take care by herself. She believes that

 

“Is Gahyeon leave? Why she is not stay here for a night? It’s late”

 

That voice suddenly got into Sua’s ears once she close the door and lock it. Turn around, she just curved a tiny smile when she found Siyeon standing there. Not far from her.
A second later, Sua start to explain why Gahyeon decided to leave. Actually it’s because there’s no enough space for the three of them to sleep on Sua’s bed. Upon hearing that, Siyeon seems thinking for awhile but before she open Sua immediately cut her words with ‘I’m not gonna let you sleep on the sofa’ makes Siyeon automatically shut and that’s makes Sua satisfied before she slowly take a step towards Siyeon

 

“Guess you should take a bath.. I’m gonna prepare your clothes and dinner”

 

Sua say it softly as she wipe away some dirty on Siyeon’s shirt that technically is hers. Watching every move Sua made, Siyeon can’t help but smile when something suddenly across in her mind makes her let out a soft chuckle.
Hearing that, frown can be seen on Sua’s face as she staring at Siyeon in confused while pull her hand back to her side

 

“Is there anything wrong?”

 

Sua ask Siyeon while the latter just smile for a second before she decided to tell Sua what is suddenly across in her mind when Sua did that and say those words a moment ago

 


“Well, the way you speak and the way you wipe the dirt away from your shirt that I wear. Somehow, it seems like a wife taking a good care of her husband. And I just like.. oh, wow in my mind. You such a wife material Sua-ssi”

 

Siyeon grin playfully while Sua just widened her eyes a second before she suddenly laugh even she start to clap her hands. She doesn’t know why, but she found the way Siyeon speak sounds unique. And the words that seems like a compliment really got her

 

“Where was that come from??”

 

“I don’t know, it just come into my mind out of sudden”

 

Siyeon start to laugh as Sua still laugh over her words. But a second later both of them slowly cool down as Sua push Siyeon to her bedroom, so Siyeon can take a bath or shower while she prepare for the clothes Siyeon can wear and also a quick dinner. And the only thing Siyeon can hear when she already in the bathroom is Sua telling her if she is gonna make a dinner now and also if she is already place her clothes for Siyeon to wear on the bed. With that, Siyeon just shout a short thank you before she slowly glancing to the mirror. Staring at herself that reflects in the mirror.
A smile that appeared on her face a second ago now disappeared. Replace by the cold gaze and right now it’s impossible to find any emotion in her.
For a few moments she just stand still before she realized if the bath already filled by the water. Seeing that, she quickly take off her clothes and slowly drowning herself into the bath.
Quietly, hoping that she also can drowning the scene that keep playing in her mind like a broken record. But, of course the water can’t help as she close her eyes and the scene strangely getting more clearer. The scene when she fight those guys who seems like want to kidnapped her. She can notice there’s someone following her at the ice cream shop before but she fail to notice if there’s many guy surrounding her. Just in split of second, she already being dragged by those guys. And what happened next makes her quietly wondering..
It started when there’s a guy want to stab her but her body easily avoid it and without even touch the knife she stab that guy back right on his chest. It left her confused but again her body not even stop moving and when she realized she already knock all the guys down. And strange enough she feels good, yet confused..

 

‘Just..’

 

Pull herself out of water, Siyeon quickly catch her breath as much as she can cause she just realized she take too long inside the water makes her short of breath. But she doesn’t really care as the scene keep replaying in her head

 

“What did you just-“

 

“Gahyeon-“

 

“You.. kill them?”

 

That voice ringing in her head makes Siyeon lowered her head just to stare at the water. She remembers so clearly how shock Gahyeon was, but beside that, she also notice there’s something off from Gahyeon. But she doesn’t even know what. At that time she was so confused, questioning what just happens inside her head as she glancing to the clothes she wear. And she can’t find any blood on it, Even though she can see a lot of blood around her.
After that Gahyeon help her to walk caused of the sudden pain in her head

 

“You can ask Sua-unnie who those guys are.. they chased her. And you don’t have to worry..

I’ll keep my mouth shut about what just happened”

 

—————

 

“They show up..”

 

“WHAT?! AFTER A WEEK OF PEACE WHY NOW?!”

 

Sua just shake her head slowly just to makes her feels like an idiot a second later, when she realized she is on the phone talking with her lovely cousins. And they, of course can’t see her right now

 

“I don’t know Minji.. it seems like they been watching me for awhile just to find my weakness. Cause the last time they kidnapped Gahyeon, they were the only one who got fooled by that kid”

 

“Heol, yeah I remember that. We are so worried about her, and when we found her, she already took care of those guys, eat a potato chip while waiting for us. I don’t know why but it’s annoy me every time I remember what she said when we arrived-“

 

“What took you so long? I’m bored and those guys just some of idiots just like you”

 

“Wow, Handong. You sounds exactly the same as her. And it’s annoy me”

 

“Same, it’s annoy me too. Guess I should stop hang out with her”

 

Sua and Jiu laugh immediately when she heard what Handong says on the other side through the phone. Even though her hands are busy cook the dinner for her and also Siyeon, Sua still manage to follow the conversation between Handong and Jiu who start to recall their memories also tease each other and talk about Gahyeon.
They just miss that girl, and Sua know that when she can hear Handong and Jiu excitedly talk about her little sister even though there’s some of sarcasm in their words. But, Sua know they never mean those words

 

“I know Gahyeon IQ’s just too high. But why she should be so annoying”

 

“Unnie, why you don’t just ask Gahyeon’s blood related sister? Oh? I know why you didn’t want to ask. Cause Gahyeon’s sister is not that smart compare to her little sister”

 

“Oh gosh! Bora you heard that?? Heol, guess there’ll be a war when I’m back. But sadly enough, I’m on Handong side”

 

Jiu laugh pretty loud as she feels kinda satisfied with Handong’s sarcasm that perfectly hit Sua.
No need to wait for any second, a loud voice suddenly can be heard echoing through the cousins phone who already place their phone far enough from their own ear. Just to safe their own eardrum. But even with Sua yelling on the other side, the cousins just laugh as they enjoy it. But a second later the warm atmosphere suddenly change as Handong finally ask the question that keep wondering in her mind

 

“So, who is the victim this time? You said they show up”

 

Handong voice sounds so serious at this moment. So different from the way she talk a few seconds ago. Notice this, Jiu just stay silent as she wait for Sua to answer Handong’s question. For a few seconds of wait, Jiu and Handong just can hear a sound of Sua’s cooking before they can hear a deep breath along with an answer they been waiting for. And upon hearing what Sua said, Jiu and Handong just stay silent as they mind suddenly busy with some of thing after hearing that

 

“They almost bring Siyeon. The girl I told you yesterday”

 

—————

 

“Anyone! Tell me what just happened?!”

 

In the other side of capital city of South Korea. An old man who seems like in the mid of his age slap his palm roughly to the desk in front of him while his scary gaze staring at every single subordinates who just can standing still in front of him while lowered their head.
No one answer his question.
That old man immediately looks unhappy as he call one of his subordinates and ask him what just happened but that poor subordinate not even can let out a single word properly makes that old man sigh deeply while massaging his forehead. A second later that old man suddenly pull a gun from his drawer and point out to that poor subordinate that looks very nervous and scare at the same time. But not only that poor subordinate, the other subordinates who standing behind him are also scared and start to being nervous as they still lowered their head. Not even dare enough to make an eye contact with that old man.
They know that old man soon will pick another random subordinate to kill the poor subordinate..
And it will be in repeat, until he got what he wants.. and of course..

It’s because he hate to use his own hand to kill people.



”You with that undercut hair. Take this gun, and kill him”



He said that with a calm yet cold tone while point out the gun to the guy who standing not far from him. Being called by that old man, that guy just can gulp down and slowly walk towards that old man and with his shaking hand he take the gun and pull the trigger immediately right beside the poor subordinate head. He doesn’t have a choice



”Good job. Now explain to me, what just happened again?”



That sudden question got that guy of off guard as he try to let out his voice even if it sounds so trembling, he still trying hard to get what that old man wants. Of course it’s because he doesn’t want to die like another subordinate that he just killed



”All- th-the guy that sent to-to kill Kim-Kim Bo-Bora all dead”


”Exactly, and why was that?”


That guy trying so hard to control his trembling body, just to let out a voice that can makes that old man probably satisfied.
Try to calm down, that guy slowly manage his breath as he slowly take deep breath and start to speak again just to cut by that old man even before he can let out a single word


“Time’s up. You, kill him”



And after that, not even reach thirty minutes. There’s a lot of dead body laying on the floor of his office as he just lean back and rest his head on the top of his expensive chair. In that room there’s one of his trusted subordinate that quickly call other subordinate just to clean the mess on that old man office.
Not even care with the smells of the blood that filled the room, that old man slowly reach to his cigarette and ask his trusted subordinate to light the cigarette for him. And of course his trusted subordinate just obey him and light his cigarette then step back a few steps. Giving the space to that old man, or maybe keep the safe distance from that old man



”.. it’s.. just a girl.. and all these useless people can’t even handle her. Pathetic..”



That old man speak between his cigarette as he close his eyes, feels kinda tired with all of these. He wants to kill these girls as soon as possible, like what he did to their parents. But somehow he found it hard to kill these girls compare to their parents. And it makes him feels so annoyed


”Should I ask him again, sir. Maybe he already know where are they right now-“


”It’s been months since the last time I heard any news about them, Nick. They probably dead somewhere”


That guy, called Nick. A foreign subordinate also that old man trusted subordinate just can nod his head once that old man cut his sentence. Not dare to speak any words again, Nick just lowered his head as he can see from the edge of his eyes that old man slowly turn his chair around just to staring at the night view of Seoul city while enjoying his cigarette

 


“No need to rush.. sometimes, going slow is better.. so you can also feel the pain more better”

Hecc this was honestly an amazing story. It realy deserves so much more recognition. From the plot twists and God the DRAMA. EVERY SINGLE MOMENT WAS JUST SO WEW.
