Tears fell from Eunhee's eyes as she looked at the bruises that was formed in her arms and legs. To say that Uncle Seungho was not happy about the lack of money after her shift at Auntie Hyo's last night is an understatement. He was visibly furious. It was the first time Eunhee saw him that violent, even Halmeoni was not able to help her. 

She was on one of the empty classrooms in her high school. It was good that people were not actually asking why she was wearing long sleeves and jogging pants inside her uniform. 

Eunhee suddenly remembered her brother, Sehun, and their friends. If they were here, Uncle Seungho wouldn't be able to do that, he wouldn't be able to hurt me this much.

I wonder how they are doing. Is oppa doing well in school? Does Sehun eat properly? Is he being taken cared of? I hope Jongin is not slacking just because I am not there to help him out with homework. And Kyungsoo oppa, I left him to lead the Student Council alone. I wish he still has time to rest and is not burried with school work and council work. Baekhyun oppa has been talking about the Autumn fashion showcase in his school. Were his designs chosen? And, Chanyeol oppa. He is about to debut in a few months. Are those executives still making him do those crazy diets? I hope not. Chanyeol oppa is talented and perfect just the way he is. 

Eunhee sobbed as she thought about her parents. Appa and eomma, do they still think about me? 

She daydreams about them sometimes. That one day, her family and friends will just barge into their home or her school and they will take her back to Seoul. Back to her old life, with her grandmother of course. 

To hell with Uncle Seungho, they'll leave him here. 

But that will never happen. Because she is nothing in their lives now. They made it clear that night. No one cared enough to stop her from leaving. She should just move on and stop thinking about them, she is just wasting her time.

 

 

 

 

A black Mercedes-Benz S-class stopped in front of Auntie Hyo's Restaurant. The front door is displaying the 'Closed' sign. The staff inside were still cleaning the remnants of lunch time and preparing for the next meal. Auntie Hyo usually does that whenever there are not too much customers so that they could focus in keeping the restaurant clean and they could prepare the food well. 

A man dressed in a suit went down the front passenger seat and approached the young woman that took out the trash. "Hello, young lady. I am sorry for bothering you, but I just wanted to ask if Young Miss Kang Eunhee is already inside?" 

Bora stared at the very formal man. "She should be here. Her class should have ended at one. Do you want me to call her for you?" 

"If you could, please. Thank you so much, agassi." 

Bora made her way inside the restaurant. Why would fancy people be looking for Eunhee? Did she owe them money? Should she really ask Eunhee to go outside? She might have just put her young friend in trouble if those people are gangsters. 

"Oh, hey Unnie!" Eunhee greeted. She was wearing long sleeves an jogging pants. 

"Hi, Eunhee!" Bora smiled at the girl back. "Errr... someone is waiting for you outside." 

"Is it a classmate? Are they from Haeundae High School too?" 

"No. Uhm... he is kind of in a suit and fancy looking. Even the car is the cars that rich people use." Bora answered looking at Eunhee for some reaction. 

Fancy looking? Suit? It can't be. Can it be... Appa? 

Eunhee ran outside anxiously just to be greeted by a man than she doesn't know. Oh... wait. She knows this man. She just met him last night. 

"Hello, Young Miss." The man said with a bow. Eunhee smiled lightly and bowed at the man too. 

"Kang Eunhee!" She heard someone say enthusiastically as the car door swung open. 

"Oh! Zhang Yixing!" She looked at the lost boy that she saw last night. He looks properly groomed now and is wearing head-to-toe designer clothes. If Byun Baekhyun could see him, he would approve of his style. 

"I'm so glad that I was able to find you here." He said in Chinese. 

"Oh! Did you need something from me? Did you leave something last night? I didn't see anything though." 

"No, silly. I wouldn't be able to leave anything behind. I was robbed remember?" Yixing chuckled. "Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you are free right now. I promised you a meal, remember?" 

Eunhee looked at the boy in front of her. She wanted to go. She hasn't felt this comfortable with anyone (who is not related to her) since they left Seoul. But her arms still ache from the bruises that she got from Uncle Seungho's beating. If she skips work today and not bring anything to Uncle Seungho, he will get angry again. Who knows what he will do to Eunhee now. 

"Errr... I am sorry. But I can't." She answered. "I need to bring home some money so I have to stay until our food gets sold out. I really appreciate your graditude Zhang Yixing but I really have to work today." 

"But you still have no customers, and the sign says 'Closed'." Yixing pouted. 

"We're still preparing, and it's usually dead time after lunch. We'll be opening again once there are customers." Eunhee explained. 

"You mean to say that you will be able to go with me if you have lots of customers and if they all buy your food?" 

Eunhee smiled and slightly nodded. "Thank you for the gesture, Zhang Yixing. But I really have to work. I hope you have a great day!" She said with a bow. 

"Wait. Kang Eunhee-" he shouted. "I'll wait for you. I'll wait until you are done." 

"Suit yourself. But let me tell you, it might take a while." 

"It won't," he smirked at her. She just smiled and shook her head and went back inside. 

After around thirty minutes, a minibus and a van stopped in front of Auntie Hyo's restaurant. Around 40 people alighted the vehicles. Hyoyeon looked outside to see people lining up for her restaurant. 

"Omo! Eunhee, Jinyoung. There are lots of customers outside!" Hyoyeon shouted at her two young part-timers. "We'll open the restaurant for them." 

Eunhee went to the door to flip the sign from 'Closed' to 'Open' and the people started to pile up inside. The two high school students then greeted their customers and led them to their seats. The last one to be ushered inside are Yixing with the two Uncle Huangs. Eunhee saw Yixing whisper something to one of the uncles, the one who can speak Korean, then the uncle stood up and addressed the people. 

"Young Master Zhang said that you can order anything, his treat! And the more you order, the better!" the man announced. 

Eunhee's jaw dropped as the customers cheered and started to order. She started taking orders and saw that Jinyoung did the same, while Auntie Hyoyeon, Uncle Wooyoung, and Bora Unnie frantically started to prepare the dishes. 

"I hope you are ready," Yixing said with a smile as Eunhee took their orders. "There are forty very hungry employees who just finished their shift at a hotel." 

After about one hour and a half of continuous cooking, taking of orders, and cleaning, the food at Auntie Hyo's restaurant was sold out. Eunhee was auditing if she got the computation correctly as she handed Yixing his change. 

"Thank you." Yixing said. "So now, can you go with me?" 

"Uhm, I just have to help clean up some more and help Auntie Hyoyeon with closing." 

Hyoyeon saw the look of disappointment on the young man's face. "Eunhee-yah, what happened?" she asked the girl as she approached. 

"Oh! I was just telling Yixing here that I should help you to clean up and close the-" 

"Nonsense!" Auntie Hyo exclaimed. Being the curious woman that she is, she asked one of the uncles a while ago about why the young foreigner will be treating these many people. Apparently, he wanted to treat Eunhee out today to show gratitude for helping him last night but the girl wouldn't go unless Eunhee gets her salary for the day. So the young man brought a bunch of hungry hotel staffs so that the restaurant would sell out their food. It was a win-win situation for everyone. The young m
