ALWAYS [제이크]

10 : new target (?)

The sun started to set and all the kids already picked up by their parents. Only Jake and Heeseo left there.

Heeseo sat on one of the bench and sighed as she felt tired. Jake followed and sat beside her.

"Did you always come here? They really love you. " he asked her.

Heeseo nodded her head. "I'm always come here whenever I felt down. The kids always cheered me and it makes me to forget everything. "

"They really are." he responded while wandering his eyes around.

Jake rubbed his nape, questioning himself if he should ask her about Ji Joon or not. But his intensions nullfied.

Heeseo stood up from her seat, "I will get going home first."

"Do you want me to accompany you? It's getting dark.''

-

Ji Joon threw the can beer to the ground. His feelings mixed up these day. He can't find Heeseo either Heeseung at school. They really hiding from him.

He then saw a girl walked passed him. She's alone and it was a good opportunity for him.

" Hi, pretty. Want me to walk you home? "

The girl startled by his sudden appearance out of nowhere. She looked around and nobody passed by. She saw Ji Joon was a bit tipsy and acted weirdly.

 Before she could ran away from him, Ji Joon wrapped his hand around her waist and start unbuttoned his shirt. His gazed was full with lustful and she can saw it.

She screamed with all his might as she no longer can fight with him. He cupped her mouth to prevent her screams will be heard by others.

Heeseung who walked passed there got a goosebumps after hearing a screaming from of a girl. It was dark and you can  barely saw people at this hour.

He looked around and found a girl tried to free herself from someone. He approached them and kicked Ji Joon's leg from the back. Ji Joon groans in pain as the kick way too strong.

"Ji Joon? What are you trying to do with her? " he asked him as he recognized his face.

Ji Joon turned around and scoffed. "Shut up your fucking mouth. I'm searching for your sister these day but I can't found her. So she will replace what I should do with your sister. "

"What are you talking? Stop with your vile behavior towards a girl. You should know your limit. "

Ji Joon let go of his grip from the girl and changed his target to Heeseung. The girl fell on her knees as she felt so weak after trying to escape from Ji Joon. Her vision became blurry and lost her conscious.

"What? Stop? Not until I do it with your sister. " he clenched his fist and landed it to Heeseung face.

Blood started oozing from his nose after getting a few punched from him. Heeseung tried to fight back but his anger was overflowing plus he was drunk. Indeed no one can stop him at this point.

Ji Joon then took a glass bottle nearby and threw it to Heeseung's head. He started to giddy up before lost his consciousness.

Ji Joon who halfed sober started to panic. He looked around and hoping there's no one could saw them. He dragged Heeseung body and against it on the wall. Same goes to the girl earlier. He let their body to lean together. 

He unbottened a few of Heeseung shirt and messing up his hair to make him looks dirty. He ran as fast as he could, leaving them there. Wishing that nobody would see what he's doing.

Heeseo stared at the whiteboard for a long time while the teacher was teaching them. Her head full of thoughts because her brother did not came back home last night. It makes her mother mad for not necessarily this morning. Why not? He was her favourite son.

"Ms.Lee, are you listening to me?" her teacher, Mrs.Ahn called her name making her to fluster.

"Yes. I heard you." she quickly focused back to the teacher in front.

"Mind to answer this equation?'' 

Heeseo hesitantly nodded and came in front. She tried to finish the solution but she kept getting the wrong answer. It was her weakness subject. Mathematics.

"Anyone, can you help her?" Mrs.Ahn asked the class but everyone kept their head hanging low as they didn't want to be called.

Jake scanned to the question for a second before stood up. He solved it as it was a cakewalk. He finished it in a quick then passed the marker back to Mrs. Ahn.

There it was. Maths no longer a number but it's an alphabete for now. The question it's not that long as the answer. It was a full paragraph written on the whiteboard.

Heeseo blinked her eyes a few times as she can't believe what she saw. How can he solved an alphabate? It's literally Mathematics right now.

"It's correct, Jake. You may take your seat back."

When Jake was about to walk to his seat, he noticed that Heeseo still observing the way of the calculation in front. Her face shows that she could not believe what she saw.

"Ms.Lee? Do you want to replace me to teach in front?"

Heeseo realized where she was and bowed to Mrs.Ahn before back to her seat.
