Hello, Kitty [MICHAENG]

Chapter 16

"Mackenzie, why am I the target?" Kittienne repeated but I remained silent. She was about to ask again when both of us were surprised to see Sulli snaking her arms around Kittienne's nape that angered me, I was about to stop her when Sulli mouthed something that made me freeze.

Kitty's confused as to why I immediately retracted my action, she was again about to say something when Sulli chuckled, "What do you mean target, Kitty? You're just one of the normal victims of abduction, maybe some of them recognized your wealth, are you wealthy, Kittienne?" Sulli asked with a hint of amusement with her tone and judging by how she gives me quick glances, I have a hunch that she already knows.

Kittienne pondered and in a few minutes, she sighed. "My parents are known in the food industry and both of them really are affluent that even they choose to get divorced, they could still live well." Kittienne stared at me but I just looked away, I sat down on a near chair and crossed my legs.

I do not want to see that filthy arm of Sulli clinging into her because it bugs me off but for a moment I heard them murmuring things but I couldn't understand what they were talking about. After a few minutes of feeling their presence, I felt Kittienne's and she sat beside me.

"Sulli eventually told me everything." I opened my eyes and was about to search for Sulli but she's gone.

"Yeah?"

It was a moment of silence, I have nothing to say anymore. "Yes..and the truth about my parents."

I looked at her and she was teary-eyed, my heart almost broke when I saw how tears suddenly rushed down her cheeks, she was still looking at me. "Kittienne I-" She shook her head and wiped her tears, she sighed heavily.

"It's okay, really." She said but her voice cracked.

I remained silent, I didn't want to say anything that might offend her or make her feel bad. I sighed. That Sulli never wants to sugarcoat anything to someone, she always wanted to say it ahead so that the person who is expecting will not be hopeful anymore. She's that harsh.

Kittienne is a Son.. a Son is a precious clan that we Myouis are protecting. But the protection we must do is to kill all of them, all of the Sons that is existing in this timeframe and that's the agreement between Kittienne's great grandparents with our kin.

"Because our clan must be erased?" I nodded with her question. "But t-they're Myouis." She was pertaining to the people who pretended to be her parents. "Is that why.. is that why they insist making me switch schools pretending that it's because of my condition?" I nodded.

"It's because you were raised by them that they don't have the heart to kill you anymore, Kittienne." I held her head, "It's because they wanted to protect you not in the way they were instructed to." I held her cheek and wiped the tears that's still forming in her eyes. "I am sorry." I'm sorry Kittienne.

"Do you really want to know why you're the target?" Sulli mischievously asked me so I nodded because I don't want this confusion to last anymore. "It's impossible for you not to know what being a Son means, Kittienne, your parents won't snatch that valuable information from you, won't they lass?" Sulli smirked and that's when I realized she's right.

I am Son, our family is the most valuable clan of mafias in this country because even women can produce seeds that is why we're a lot when suddenly.. I looked at Sulli and she nodded.. "Now you realized it? That why when you were born, it was told that you're the last one."

Yes when my parents are present... then why.. "No.." I muttered.

Sulli looked at Mackenzie who is pondering on a chair while her eyes are closed.  "That girl was supposed to erase you in this world but guess what? Not only our parents but my dear sister as well.."

I looked at her dumbfoundedly, "W-What did you say?"

"If I was a year younger when I met you, I might actually kill you right now, Kittienne." Sulli said dangerously that I felt a knife on my waist but she immediately retrieved the thing and looked at me intently. "I could've killed you as soon as possible unlike my sister who's soft and my parents who suddenly loved you whilst raising you eversince when the both of us were trashed to different families just to be hidden off you." Every word was enunciated with anger and hatred but then she heaved a deep sigh, "But now I am on her side, I just wanted to finish this bullshit as soon as possible, I will kill that old man myself." With that, Sulli stormed out of my sight.

"It was our parents.. our real parents.." Mackenzie muttered while she was staring at blank space. "They were instructed to raise you as their own and kill you in that age but from the moment I saw you in our school, that's when I realized they couldn't kill you and I really can't blame them, they were tired of the agreement, we're tired being Myouis as well." She said with such tone, it's as if I felt how tired she was, "Kittienne, we ought to kill even our kin because of the threat of being betrayed, Myouis were known for their betrayal but it was said that your great grandparents showed what trust is all about to my kin but then when your grandparents thought your families' condition is wrong and different, they suddenly made that decision, the decision to eradicate your own clan, I thought that both clans were foolish, they're all foolish that they lived fulfilling each other's wishes, forgetting how important their families are, it's as if they forgot what being a family truly is." She explained while biting her thumb.

I feel sad and guilty towards Mackenzie and Sulli.. it's because I snatched their parents away. It's because I'm such a burden.. "Maybe if I'm dead, maybe you could free yourself?" She looked at with me with utmost horror, I was surprised when she suddenly pinned me to a nearby wall.

"Never ever mention death with me, especially if it's about you. I risked all my life, my parents, my clan, just to protect you, Kittienne."

"But why?" I asked trying to convince myself that maybe I am not the problem but just by looking at it, it's because I am still alive that's why this was happening. "Why do you have to protect me if you could've just killed me this instant?"

I was about to say something when I suddenly felt her hand on my cheek, I didn't feel any pain because of the revelations today, It's too much for me to handle and absorb. I looked at Mackenzie who was surprised to what she's done... I was about to gave her a small smile but my cheek hurt.

"Kittienne I- I am sorry I-" I shook my head.

"It's okay Mackenzie. It's okay, if this could relieve all of my clan's foolish acts then be my guest, hurt me all you want, it's okay. You've done enough, if this could free you from being someone you don't want to be, then please." I held her hand and made her slap me again, again, and again.

She was resisting but my grip was hard, good thing we're not seen in the hospital. I made her hurt me but she keeps on trying to take her hand away but she couldn't. But then I heard her sob and when I saw her crying, that's when I snapped out of it.

I immediately let her go, she then wiped her tears. "I am confused as you are, Kittienne. The least thing you could do is to live the life me and my family spared you." And there, Mackenzie walked out.

Never have I thought about her trying to pull away, this breaks my sanity even more.
