“Whatever you’re planning on doing, it won’t work.” I tell Alex who, by the way, was being extremely stubborn. “I don’t understand why you’d even come close to thinking that this will solve anything! I mean, this man, practically locked you guys up all your lives and every single one of you ended up crawling right back into his clutches! USE YOUR HEAD!!1” I snap at him. “Will you shut up? This is all entirely your fault anyway.” Alex snaps back. “Oh, is it? I’m sorry that I tried to warn you about your evil brother and his best friend who may have been plotting against you!” I remind him. “That’s just the thing! ‘MAY HAVE BEEN!’ Don’t bring things up if you don’t know for sure! And Joon isn’t evil, he’s troubled. Do you have any idea what we’ve all been through in Busan?” Alex questions. I don’t say anything. “No? I didn’t think so. So keep your nose out of our business!” I look at him completely shocked. He must’ve been pretty pissed to have gone off on me like that, but he wasn’t finished. “The only reason Joon would be doing something like this would be to keep the people he cares about safe anyway! He may try to act like he hates me but I know it’s not true and if he does, so be it! I deserve it! I promised I would NEVER abandon them again and I ended up doing it without realizing.” He continues, pounding on the steering wheel. I just look on in silence. How was he so sure that what Joon was doing was right? Sure I wanted to believe that but I just can’t take my chances. “He’s not a bad kid…how could you even think that way about someone you once ‘loved’? If we should watch out for anyone among us, Rachel maybe it’s you. We were all getting along fine with our new lives, finally adjusting to how normal people live, then you come along and all hell breaks loose.” He points out. I almost choke. Was he really blaming this on me? As someone I view as a big brother and best friend, how could he even say that to me? “Whoa, Alex…” “You just have a habit of putting yourself in harm’s way on purpose! Why? Do you like feeling like a damsel in distress? Do you like knowing that no matter how deep you get yourself into trouble your sweet, little Joon will come save you? Or worse, that I would? You think we’re just your pawns or something?!” Alex continues. I feel tears forming in my eyes, I didn’t know if this was his anger speaking or if this was truly how he felt, but I didn’t want to hear any more of it. “Pull over.” I demand. Alex scoffs. “Why? Does the truth hurt that much?” he asks. “PULL OVER!!!” I shout prepared to grab the steering wheel myself and swerve off of the road. Alex swerves so hard I feel like the car is going to fly off of the bridge. When is screeches to a stop, I fling my door open and hop out. Alex doesn’t even look at me when I slam the door; he just speeds back off without even looking back. Now I was completely alone in the middle of nowhere. I just stand there confused as to what just happened; it was all a blur, and all so confusing.  Did I seriously just lose another person close to me? At first I thought that this was all Joon's fault, but if everyone else is pointing their fingers at me, I must be the problem, and that hurts. I’ve been the one this entire time tearing this family apart and causing strife. It would probably be best if I did disappear, I’ve already caused enough damage. I blink back tears and begin my long journey to the nearest city. I didn’t want to just drop my friends like this, but if that’s what would make them happy, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I just wish there was a way I could apologize or make it up to them. Who was I to go off on Joon and EunGyul like that? Who was I to accuse them of going back to the man who made their lives hell to bring them all back to where they started. Now that I think it through, it did sound extremely ridiculous but it was too late now. The damage was done and now everyone hated me.  I fling my hat over the bridge and watch it float lightly down into the water. The dark was approaching fast and I didn’t want to be left on the highway at night, so I continued down the bridge. Wherever I ended up would be where my journey just started.
