The fifteen year old girl stood at the gate of her school. Wind blowing her hair away as she was listening to music through her earphones.
She took out her phone and checked for messages. She sighed seeing none.
"Hmm i guess am not important to anybody. Nobody even remembers i was born today. Haaaa nevermind Kang Shin Joo yah." She motivated herself a bit and started walking towards her house where probably her drunk father would wait for her. Her not wanting to be abused on her birthday she went to the other direction. Fed herself and spent sometime alone. It was dark by the time she almost reached her house.
As she reached the alley way to her house.
She had a strong sense of feeling that someone was following her. She heard footsteps not of one person but three.
As she turned around around, she was instantly pushed to the wall and then pulled with them towards what seem to be her house.
How they know where she lived.
She struggled under their strong hands. Trying to break free.
She was taken to her house and was thrown infront of her father.
She looked up to her father. The deep angry frown on his face said everything.
"A-a-appa mi-mian-mianhe. I should-should've come ho-ho"
"WHERE THE FUCK WHERE YOU!!" He shouted and kicked shin joo in her side rib there was a loud crack. But the girl took it all.
After her mother died she had seen it all.
"Mianhe-" she was cut again by him pulling her by her hair .
Her pain being unbearable to be seen by a suited up man across the room, made him stop mr. Kang.
"Mr Kang. Stop it." He said it with a commanding tone making the said man shiver. Shin Joo thought deep bout who this man was who made her father shiver in fear.
The man came out of the dark and stood infront of the two.
The was exhaled the smoke from the cigarette he intook before walking.
The gold ring on his pinky glistening in the dark.
"Oh-oh mr. Choi. I swear i will pay you. My daughter hete will work very hard so that i can pay you. I promise. Right Shin Joo yah" the father selfishly spoke looking at the little teenager who was on the verge of breaking, emotionally, physically, mentally.
"Why can't you pay on your own Jaehyuk ah" the man said.
The father who was said to be Jaehyuk panicked so mych that he ruthlessly picked his daughter from the ground which was her support against the pain of her ribs and threw her in between them.
"You you can take her sir. She'll be very helpful to you in fulfilling your needs sir." The little girl sat there stunned knowing what her father meant.
The man with the signet ring widened his eyes and looked at the broken girl for the first time he felt bad. Never knew that a man can sell his daughter nust to pay off his debt.
He gulped and said, "ok then. Its a deal." And signalled hisen to take her to the car. She walked out brokenhearted. Her brain was fogged she couldn't believe what she just came across.
She was told to sit at the back which she silently did.
After sometime, the old man with signet ring came and sat with her in the car.
He felt he needed to take the girl out of the trance. She was too young to see this but he couldn't do anything but take her away from that house and give her some work though his work was more dangerous than just getting hit at home.
"Listen here girl. You're too young and am too old don't think i took you coz of what your father said. I just didn't want you with that scoundrel. Don't worry i wont do anything." There was a long silence which was broken by her saying Thankyou in tiny.
The old man was kind of lightened knowing she was kind of comfortable now. So he started a conversation.
"You know i have a son too he's the same age as you i guess. Or older? Yah Donghoon ah how old is he?" He asked his friend who was driving.
Donghoon laughed at the question.
"Heol jinjja you don't even know your son's age?? Well he's 17 two years older than her. Oh btw even i have a daughter she's younger than you thouyi guess you guys would be great friends.""A-ajhussi i am actually 16 today." The girl silently said but was heard by the two older men, who then later on exchanged glances through the rare view mirror.
"So it's your birthday?" The old man asked turning to the girl who nodded.
"Should we celebrate? I mean we all including my son you can meet him. Idk bout donghoon's daughter she's very small right now. Wo should we?" Mr choi cheered as the girl smiled a little.
Maybe they aren't as bad as they are said to be. She thought.
Mr choi texted his son to prepare. His son replied saying he was excited to meet her since he barely had any friends coz he was homeschooled by a trusted teacher who could now teach Shin joo too.
They entered the hige building and was invited with a great decoration.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY " shouted a young voice who just popped a party popper.
"Who where is she??" He curiously asked but stopped when he saw a small fragile girl behind donghoon. Who was now being slowly pushed to the front.
The little boy was mesmerized by how pretty she was. There might be other pretty girls but for him she was the first person of almost his age to meet him.
His mouth was open until hod uncle donghoon decided to ruin the moment.
"Ok introduce yourself kids"
"Oh- i am Choi Mujin. Happy birthday......."
"Kang Shin Joo. Thankyou for all this. Thankyou so much" she completed his sentence and blwed to everyone in the room.
What a respectful girl she is. Thought mr choi and donghoon smiling.
Back in shin joo's house jaehyuk was very happy that he was off the dept and also that his daughter was no more with him for him to take care of her. He was very happy and he started to drink again. He can live peacefully now.
Atleast that's what he thought.
