In the dark room, there was a silhoutte of a female stood near her bedroom's window.She hold a few

pictures in her right hand with lighter on the other hand. Her door was locked to prevent anyone from her family

listened nor saw what she would do. A metal basket was placed at her foot and the lighter was on. It flickered as

the air from the window gushed into the room. Slowly the flickered turned into fire that burnt from the edge of the

picture. Before it reached the pale fingers that holding it, she dropped the picture into the metal basket and

watched it burnt vigorously. Then, one by one, the pictures were put into.

                    A deep sighed was released as she watched it burning. The feeling of tension mixed together with sad

will never appear again.  JiYeon squatted and sit on the floor. The last picture was in her hand. She played with it

whilst thought whether to burn it too or kept it. However a motherly voice call her name from the living room and

knocked her bedroom's door.

"JiYeon are you still wake up?" Then the doorknob was turned but failed to opened.

Another knocked was heard "JiYeon..".

"I'm not sleeping omma.." JiYeon tried to calm her mother down.

Her mother replied "opened this door, I thought I smell something burnt. Are you smoking! If you are, you will be in

big trouble young girl !! "

"Anni omma" She quickly poured the water from her vase and the fire was out then she half opened the door and

smile weakly at her.

"what are you doing? where is this smoke come from?"

"this..I have some experiments with physics and I think I should have some practices before the exam. Not

smoking!!"

"Allright then. Make sure you don't burn the house down."

"Arasso..night mom"

"Goodnight, don't stay late" her mother walked back upstairs headed to her room.

The door was closed back and she leaned behind it. Her bedroom was fill with smoke. She took a looked at her

basket.Everything had turned into black ashes. This is the way she wanted it to be and she might regret it

someday.        

As long as he doesn't know this, her little secret.
