Chapter 6

PRESS

Sulli was immediately led to a salon and was asked to wear an expensive dress and shoes again.

The driver led Sulli to a hotel.

Sulli met Minho inside a room.

“What is this again?” asked Sulli

“This time it’s nothing to do with revenge. It’s purely  deal.” Said Minho

“What do you mean?” asked Sulli

“I need you to attend a press conference in an hour. I need you to tell everyone that our family has taken care of you and that kid the past weeks since the old man’s death.” Said Minho

“What?! You want me to lie?!” asked Sulli

“You’re not going to lie for free. I will give you whatever you demand.” Said Minho “Name it.”

“Kevin’s education until College….to the school of his choice.” Said Sulli

“I can give that.” Said Minho

 “Protection. You need to protect Kevin. Against media…or any threat.” Said Sulli

“Hmm…I can put hidden guards until he turns 20.” Said Minho

“Can you put that on paper?” asked Sulli

Mino smirked. Miss Sulli Choi wants to be sure.

“All right.” Minho called Ralph

“I need the lawyer now.” said Minho

Sulli felt like a battle is going on inside her. This is the chance to give Kevin a good life…but she hates the idea that she needs to make this man look good in front of everyone…the man she hates the most!

But the most important thing is Kevin…This is for Kevin.

---------------------

Sulli saw Kevin in a nice suit.

“Wow Kevin…You look nice!” said Sulli

“Anna Noona helped me dressed Mommy.” Said Kevin

“Did you say thank you?” asked Sulli

“Yes Mommy. I said Thank you, Anna Noona.” Said Kevin

“That’s good…good kid.” Said Sulli “Umm Kevin…later…people will take pictures of you…just smile like always all right?”

“Ok Mommy…” said Kevin. “The scary Ajussi…will he be there?”

“Umm..Don’t worry, he’s not scary anymore. He smiles a lot now and he will take good care of you from now on.” Said Sulli

“Really?” asked Kevin

“Yes…He will.” Said Sulli

--------------------

Sulli went in the conference room.

She was immediately blinded by flashes from the cameras.

Someone held her arm and pulled her.

“Look at me.” Said the voice.

Sulli looked up and saw that it’s Minho

“Just look at me, and the flashes won’t blind you anymore.” Said Minho

Sulli felt a sense of security…somehow…she felt safe…when Minho held her arm.

Sulli went on the stage.

The microphone was given to Sulli.

“Umm..” Sulli is nervous “I am here to set the issues clear…I’m Sulli Choi, Choi Ji Woo’s sister. I take care of the child she left behind. Mr. Minho’s family has been supportive of us….since Unnie and his Dad died. He looked for us. At first I didn’t want to get  their help. I felt that it was wrong to still have connections with their family considering the situation. And so I rejected all his effort to help us. But recently, being a single mother has proven to be too hard…and Mr. Minho still offered help…I could not say no anymore.” Said Sulli

“So now, he is supporting us.” Said Sulli

A reporter took the microphone

“Is it true that you worked for a Karaoke house?” asked the reporter

“I tried to providing for the child alone-“ said Sulli

“We should all be proud of her. She loves the child as her own to the point that she’s willing to do anything to provide for the child. Even the things th
