WOO BIN’S THOUGHTS

It’s Christmas Eve and everyone’s busy decorating, preparing… as for me? In front of the laptop fumbling on the keyboard waiting for her to go online. Hmm, she’s always late; I was thinking maybe she won’t this time. But still she’s late as usual.

As I shyly fidget both hands together and thumping my fingers the gray icon turned green and a live screen came up! Then there she is, panting and smiling at me…

“Oppa! Mianhe… I needed to attend a luncheon, I came back late… been waiting a while?”-She said while standing and tidies herself she must be looking the preview box on how she looks like in front of me… funny girl.

“Ani… I just came too…”-Trying to hide the lie, truth is been waiting almost an hour in front of the damn computer but it was worth it seeing her smile.

“Chinja? That’s a relief, hehe… Oh! Merry Christmas Oppa!”-She says it loud cheering and raising her both hands to the air… her voice is so warm

“Merry Christmas too… you’re alone?”- I tilted my head and stare at the screen scanning the room if someone’s with her

“Yah! Oppa! What do you take me for?! Of course I am! Aish…”-She pouted with her usual pout when she throws tantrums…

“Araso… Hahahaha just joking…”-I laughed at the sight but before I could say something else

“Yah! Song Woo Bin! Aren’t you supposed to prepare for the holiday ball tonight?!”-Yi Jeong’s voice echoed as he and the other two came inside my room

“Who are you chatting huh? A girl again?!”-Jun Pyo calls out as he follows Yi Jeong, all three stood beside me looking at the screen checking who is it… am I talking to. Yi Jeong turns the laptop to his direction as he grabs a chair then.

“Oh! Hae Jin-ah annyeong!”-Yi Jeong smiling as she sees my sister

“Oh! Yi Jeong-Oppa Annyeong!”-Hae Jin waves her hand so happy to see the other guys

“Hae Jin-ah!”-Jun Pyo immediately took the laptop as he slumps his back at one of my lounge chairs

“Hahaha, Aigoo. Oppa I’m fine… of course! Nomu pogoshippeo!”-Hae Jin giggles

“Oh! Ji Hoo’s here too! Look!”-Jun Pyo gave the laptop to Ji Hoo and the usual grumpy Ji Hoo grinned crazily at the screen

“Hae Jin-ah, are you doing well there?”-Ji Hoo asks the usual things

“Hmm...”-She simply nodded she tucks her hair behind her ear as she smiles at him, hmm… why do I feel uneasy? Ah… paranoid

Almost half an hour talking

“Young Masters, the guests are here...”-One of our butlers called us

I really felt bad…

“We’re wishing so much you could be here…”-Yi Jeong says as he express his disappointment, another Christmas without her

“It’s okay… uhmm, you guys take care and… I really miss you guys”-She says as she goes teary-eyed now…

“Hae Jin-ah, don’t cry… Araso?”-I told her as she slowly nods, she know I hate seeing her cry… as the guys bid their goodbyes, it was so hard for me to go offline

“I promise, I’ll call you later okay?”-I said to her as she nods slowly

“Okay, pinky-promise”-She said as she raises her pinky at me, I chuckled

“Yes, pinky-promise”-I raised mine… and that’s how we always do

FLASHBACK ENDED

Present

I stand in the corner of the living room closing my eyes trying to steady my breathing, just now all three girls returned without her!, how could this happen!

The two guards that I ordered to be their eyes stand before me, as the others look at me with worry eyes… exchanging questioning looks.

“What happened?”-I ask politely to the guards

“Young Master! We’re very sorry! Please forgive us!”-One of the guards pleaded in front of me, as I lift my head and meet their eyes, I even become more furious!

“Sorry? Sorry!?”-I punch one of them as I kick the other

“Woo Bin-Sunbae!”-Ga Eul screamed in panic

“Sunbae! Stop!”-Jan Di shouts as I hit both guards mercilessly

“Song Woo Bin!”-Jun Pyo and Yi Jeong tried to stop me but failed to do so

“Woo Bin-Sshii, jebal…”-Jae Kyung pleaded with her eyes as she grabs my wrist, my rugged breathing came down…

“Who would do such a thing?”-Jun Pyo says as he sits down and putting his hands on his head, Jan Di sat next to him rubbing his back

“Whoever did this, will pay…”-Yi Jeong cursed as he sighs deeply, Ga Eul stands next to him and holds his hand, giving him assurance, the unexpectedly quiet Ji Hoo was in a trance as he closes his eyes and sighs

“Young Masters… a package was found outside by the yard”-A butler came in the living room holding a box

“What is it?”-Jun Pyo asks, and everyone including Ji Hoo who has been quiet stood up suit

“It’s address to Song Woo Bin”-Jun Pyo reads the package box and looks at me

I grab the box and opened it…

My heart almost stopped as my heart sunk. When I see her necklace… the necklace our mother personally made for her…

I reached for the necklace and realized there’s something else, underneath it… a cd? What the hell

We immediately inserted the disk to a laptop and play it…. It took a while for it to play...

Then, at first it was pitch black then a movement on the screen…

A guy who arranged the lens of the camera then moves backward standing in seem like dark empty room… then

“Mr. Woo Bin, I believe we didn’t have the pleasure to meet…”-The guy who’s wearing a mask spoke then slowly removes the hood and its mask then

“You must be thinking, who I am? And what am I doing?- He says smirking, that smirk, I want to punch him and wipe that grin off his face!

“You don’t know me but you know my brother…”-He continued pressing his fingers on his forehead

“You broke his arms and broke a couple of ribs and because you severely injured him he is not able to walk now… he got his spine twisted… four years, four years I waited patiently…”-He continued, the way he describes it, it’s too damn familiar

“Not remembering yet? Let me refresh your memory then, your best friend, So Yi Jeong was philandering one night… he pissed one man, and he tripped blaming his broken wrist… and you over-reacted started to mercilessly beat that guy…”-He continued now with his expression darker

“Impossible”-I mouthed loudly, loud enough for everyone to hear

“That guy you beat up was my dongsaeng… my little brother… now tell me, how it feels to take the person you care the most? Coz the way you did my brother is as if you have taken him already from us…”-He said with conviction

“if you want her back, go to the address at the back of the cover… you can bring your best friends of yours if you want but if I see someone else or even if one of your friends intervene? She’s gone for good. I’m going to make you pay.”-He said final as the screen disappeared ending the video

My eyes and Yi Jeong’s eyes met and we understood…. That night… we remembered everything, his drunkenness, his carelessness, my reckless reaction… it all led to this.

“Otoke…”-Yi Jeong almost collapsed as he puts his hands at a chair to stop himself from falling

“It’s my fault…”-Yi Jeong
