~So Ae-cha~

It's around 8pm and I'm walking to my mother's room in a hospital. She's in her last stage of blood cancer. I'm standing in front of her room. Should I knock or just enter? Better to enter without knocking. What if she's sleeping? I pushed the door open and stepped in. She's awake and sitting up straight on her bed.

"Ae-cha, come here." She patted on her bed asking me to sit beside her. I walked to her bed and gently sat on her bed.

"You have to go live with your brother, from tomorrow. His name's Yi-jung. Hope you remember him." She said in a low voice as she held my hand.

"Yeah, I remember him very well. How can I forget him? Once I tried to hug him when dad brought him home but he pushed me down and ran away. He neither bothered to help me up nor cared how a five year old would feel." I said with an emotionless face.

"Why should I go live with him? I can't, I'm fine in our house." I protested.

"You have to. I'm gonna live hardly for few days and I want you to go back to your father. Since he's little busy with his pottery academy, I chose Yi-jung because Yi-hyun is living abroad.( A/N: Yi-hyun is Yi-jung's elder brother but I made up about that pottery academy :-D.)

"Fine. Do you think he'll let me stay with him? No,way. He would probably kick me out in the streets." I said as my eyes got teary with the thought of losing my mother in few days. I couldn't hold it back, it poured out. I got up and turned around to hide my tears from my mom.

"Your father will take care of it. Ae-cha, I know you are crying." Mom said from behind. I lost it completely. I hugged her and sobbed. She started crying too.

"Mom, I'll miss you so much." I said through the sobs.

"I'll miss you too, my baby." She said, rubbing my back.

Just then a nurse entered the room and asked me to leave since it's bed time and medicine time. I looked at my watch. 9pm. I don't know how an hour passed liked that in a swift. It feels like only a minute for me.

"Goodnight mom. I'll see you in the morning." I got up and walked to the door but halted when I heard her speak up.

"Ae-cha, go pack all your things. You are moving in with him,tomorrow. Your dad told me that he would come pick you up." She said and I wanted to scream out loud sayin ' I don't wanna go to his house' but I couldn't. I just nodded and opened the door to leave.

"Ae-cha, I'm sorry." She said with tears streaming down her face. I gave a small smile and closed the door behind.

I reached my house by bus which is few blocks away from the hospital and started with my packing.

Let me explain about my past years. I'm So Ae-cha, So Yi-jung's half-sister. I've no clue why my dad married my mom when he already had a wife and two sons. As I already said before, dad brought Yi-hyun and Yi-jung to my house when I was around, five I guess, Yi-jung was six and Yi-hyun was few years older than him. Yi-jung didn't like me which was proved when he pushed me down but Yi-hyun was good to me.

I was sent to boarding school as soon as I turned six or seven. Too young for a kid to be in a boarding, right? As the years passed by, I was rather happy to be in boarding than being at home because mom started beating the crap out of me whenever she was in a bad mood, that's presumably everyday. Dad started going out with many girls/ladies and that made my mom angry and that anger was poured out on me. Mom started drinking and smoking too much. Till now dad hadn't visited me even once. He rarely comes home and if I'm on holidays, he would hardly spend a minute with me.

' I'm sorry' from mom ,which I heard before leaving the hospital is for treating me like a crap for past years, I guess.

I think that's all about my past. My life ain't gonna get any better even after I move in with Yi-jung. It may only become more worse. God didn't allocate enough luck for me, I guess.

Next morning.

Last night, I put my mobile in silent. I got several missed calls from dad and some unknown number.

Unknown number again and when I answered the call, I literally dropped my mobile on the floor.

Mom passed away by 6 am. Yesterday, she told me that she will be with me for few more days,right?

I zonked out.

Is it good? Do you like it? Or is it too bad? ( Hehe, I do accept stones thrown at me.)
I almost lost some hair as I thought too much about the title and a cover pic.
