KYUNG EUNSOO
"I paid for your noodle. How can you not have a dollar on you?
" I left in a hurry "
" Whatever "
" Oh come on. Are you still angry?"
" Forget it. Your outfit...uhmm...were you at a funeral?"
" Oh....Yeah "
" Can I ask who's funeral?"
" My dad's "
I glanced awkwardly at him as he continued to slurp his noodles.
" Oh...uhmm....I'm sorry for your loss "
" I really don't want to talk about it "
He said while trying to hold back his tears. I could tell he was holding back a lot of emotions.
" Eunsoo....Kyung Eunsoo. That's my name"
" Kyung Eunsoo?"
" Yeah"
There was suddenly an awkward silence and he had this look in his eyes, that I've never seen before. I don't know what it is but it's probably nothing.
" Taemin get up"
" Huh?"
" You're done right?"
" Yeah"
" Come with me"
I led him through the trails, till we got to a junk yard.
" Ya..... Eunsoo what are you doing?"
He asked as I made my way in, through the opening in the fence and stretched my hand to him.
" Come on. Trust me"
I helped him in and took him to the back. I picked up two bats and goggles, from a bag hidden underneath some old clothes. I handed him a pair after putting mine on.
" Ya.... what exactly is going on? What are we doing here?"
" Lately I've been in a very bad mood and this is how I handle it sometimes "
I placed a vase on the rickety table in front of me, before swinging my bat at it. The loud crash from the impact, was enough to put a little smile on my face.
" Try it "
I said as I nudged him with my elbow.He moved forward and swung his bat at the glass mirror beside him.
"Whoooooo"
He yelled and laughed. He swung his bat at an old car and smashed it's windows and then looked at me and smiled. I could feel the smile dancing on my lips as I dragged my bat on the floor while walking towards him.
" That was enjoyable "
" I know "
" I didn't think you'd remember my name "
" Well.... I'd be crazy not to remember my stalker's name right? "
" I already told you this is fate "
" Gross"
He laughed but suddenly went quiet.
" So..... what's bothering you? You said you've been in a bad mood lately"
" We should get going it's late "
" Right"
I led him out of the yard and walked him to the bus stop.
" So uhmm.....bye"
" Bye Eunsoo "
I turned to leave but his voice stopped me.
" Thank you"
..........
I increased my pace as I got closer and closer to the police station. I have to put an end to these endless questions. I tried not to show how nervous I was as I watched the guard lead my dad into the room. It had only been a couple of days and I could barely recognize him. He looked so weak,pale and battered.
" Dad....
" Eunsoo.... how are you? How is MinAh? "
" I'm fine....MinAh is fine"
" And your mum?"
" she's fine too"
" That's good to know"
" Dad you're innocent right? You would never do something like that right? "
" Eunsoo I need you to listen to me and listen carefully. Lee Kwangsoo, Cho Jihyun, Kang Yoonmin and Shin Mirae"
" What? "
" I didn't kill Lee Kwangsoo.....someone else did. All those people have something deep with some sort of organization called Tiger Corp. That night, my other coworkers had gone home already and it was just Kwangsoo and I. I closed late and as I was leaving...."
The guard walked in and my dad suddenly got quiet.
" Time is up kid"
" What? That was barely a few...
" Time's up.....get up"
He pulled my dad out of his seat and began dragging him out of the room. I got up and placed my hands on the glass barricade, peering into the room.
" Please.....please just one more minute...dad"
" Bye son"
That was the last thing he said before he disappeared into the shadows. I could feel the sadness seeping into my heart and then it turned into hate, anger and rage.
