Chapter 21

"This is your only chance; speak." Mr. Kim glared.

"A few reasons. I don't know where to start." He first gave Y/N a glance, then moved his eyes towards Mrs. Kim and Jackson.

"Start with begging for forgiveness," Y/N whispered amongst herself and Lisa.

Lisa scoffed.

"For real!" She whispered back.

"I did not kill Uncle; it was all Fluff Gloomkins."

Fluff Gloomkins, also a mafia or was.

"He was the one who ordered those goons to attack uncle because he was declined from buying a huge part of plot owned by uncle..." he paused for a moment before taking a deep breath. "I still remember that cold night when me and Ga-young were walking down the same street and we happened to see what was happening there to Uncle. We stood shaking for a moment, but before we could reach you both to help, we got taken away somewhere. We were also attacked that night."

Y/N closed her eyes tight as a flashback of her father dying flashed across her mind. Lisa gripped her shoulders tightly, knowing that she could breakdown at any time.

"We were taken to an abandoned building, where we were tortured to death. They threw us separately across the rivers. But you only found her. Until the time I was found by some generous man who saved my life, I realised I had lost everything I had, and I knew I could not come back since I found out that I was being blamed for everything. I stayed strong and decided I wanted evidence and revenge. Evidence for you guys and revenge for my love and uncle. So I stole Fluff's position and his life from him. It did take a while, but I avenged my uncle's death and Ga Young's injuries."

"I did not want to cause you guys any trouble, so I did not come back earlier, but when I found out about Auntie's wedding, I could not help it."

"I set up a whole kidnapping just so I could talk to you, but it failed, so I had to come over. I needed to clear things up with you, Y/N. I can't have you hating on me all my life. At least not you!"

He looked up, his eyes glossing. So were all of theirs.

"How is Ga-young?" he asked, his voice breaking.

"Better without you!" Lisa spat in anger.

"I know I was wrong to run, but please don-"

"Do you even realise what we've been through all those years? what I've been through? And you think standing there asking for an apology would change everything?" Y/N finally snapped after moments of silence. "YOU SERIOUSLY EXPECT US TO FORGIVE YOU? HOW? HOW?" She pushed against his chest with force.

It was all her pain and anger from all those years coming out now.

"I never want to see your face again!" She gave him a last push before running upstairs.

As soon as she left, the whole room went silent. In Yeop looked down in shame. The boys were crying; they wanted to go after Y/N, but their bodies had given themselves up to weakness. Mrs. Kim was breaking down while her husband was trying to comfort her. Lisa ran after Y/N.

But amongst all this, there was a single soul staring at In yeop, in pity. Jackson.

After all, they were best friends.

When their eyes met, Jackson looked away, shaking his head.

"In yeop, it's better you leave. And never come back," Mr. Kim announced.

His heart broke.

"Jackson! At least you say something; I have to talk to Y/n-."

"Do not try to approach her ever again." Her brothes protectively stood in front of the guy, glaring at him.

She barged into her room, tears streaming down her cheeks. She threw everything that came across her path all around the room.

Things scattered to the floor, breaking into pieces just like her heart.

"I HATE YOU!"

Lisa ran in. Her heart clenched at the site of her best friend's breakdown. She quickly pulled Y/N into her embrace.

"Shhh, calm down." Y/N cried even more.

How much can she possibly keep in? She is a growing kid as well. Yes, she is strong, but she has feelings too.

The two sat on Y/N's bed, Lisa consoling Y/N.

Y/N eventually fell asleep in Lisa's arms, tired of everything. She wanted a break as well. She was tired of fighting.

Lisa laid Y/N on the bed and covered her with the quilt. She sat beside her and caressed her head, letting her tears fall. She despised seeing her best friend in that situation. But she knew she had to stay strong for her.





"Why weren't we told about him?" The boys questioned the couple.

They all sat on the couch. Mrs. Kim explained everything to her stepsons from the start.

A sudden emotion of guilt rose in them when they heard their little sister's heartbreaking story. They were already mentally prepared to hear about the past that wasn't great, just like Jackson had told them. But they never expected it to be so terrible.

They were in guilt for ever hurting her, intentionally or unintentionally.

Another emotion of fear was also seen in their eyes. They were scared. Scared that they would mentally lose her to her past.

But most of them were mad. Their anger kept rising towards In Yeop. They cursed him a thousand times in their minds. If it had been up to them to decide, they would have already killed him by now.

That is how much they hated him.

They were also sad for their little sister. They just wanted to see her happy.

Jin stood up, about to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Suga, who had sat next to him, questioned

"To check on Y/n."

"I'll go with you."

They all walk to Y/N's room only to find the two girls cuddled up, fast asleep.

They chuckled at the cute site, and after leaving a peck on Y/N's head, they went back down.

Late in the evening, when the girls walked down the hall, the room was completely isolated and quiet. Apparently, no one was home. They decided to go back up to her room and watch something.

While Y/N was about to go up following Lisa, a folded piece of paper on the floor in the corner caught her attention. She frowned, walking towards it and taking it in her hands.

She froze. Regret flashed over her.

The letter was from In Yeop.

'Hey! I know you're mad at me and not ready to talk to me, but I promise Y/N I never meant to leave you guys at your worst. I did that just to keep you guys safe. I had a lot of people around me at that time, and I could not put your lives at risk, so I ran away. I was back because I missed you; you're my little sister, after all. I know I've caused you all a lot of pain. Just so you guys can be happy I'm leaving for somewhere far, I hope I never have to return. My best wishes to you and your new family. I love you, sissy. I'm also sorry once again for kidnapping you! Take care. Of my Ga-young too.'

Her eyes welled.

"Yah, Y/N, you're here—hey, what's wrong?" Lisa took the letter from her hands, but Y/N snatched it back, rushing out of the house.

"Y/n!" Lisa ran behind her on the road. "Y/N!" she yelled when a car came her way at speed. Her voice echoed along with the car's loud breaks. "Y/n!" she ran towards her.

Y/N was on the ground. Gladly, the car did not hit her; it stopped just in time.

"Are you crazy?" Suga walked out of the car, glaring at the two girls. "Why are you two even out? And you, Y/N, what if I did not-"

"Take me to the airport."

"But-"

"NOW"

She rushed out of the car, running inside the huge building. She looked all around, trying to find her brother.

Minutes passed by, but there was no sign of him. She sighed, frustrated, and was almost about to give up until a figure in the crowd caught her attention.

She found him.

"OPPA!" she yelled, gaining everyone's attention. His eyes widened when he realised she was really there.

She ran towards him, grabbing him by the collar.

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"

"Hwang In Yeop?"

"I'm not joking right now." She glared, then pulled him into a tight hug.

"This is not how it works, Hwang! You don't just suddenly leave someone's life, then come back and try to leave again!" she scolded. "Do you know how much I missed you? How much mom- Ga Young, and Jackson missed you?" Her voice broke.

He hugged her back, letting out a sad chuckle.

"I know; I'm sorry."

"No, you're not forgiven," she pulled out, gripping his shoulders. "Not until you promise to come back soon to meet us again!"

"Oh, for sure I will!" he sobbed. "I can't live without you guys!"

"Then come back very soon."

"I will!"

They hugged once again.

"It's time for me to go now, sissy!"

"I'll miss you! And you better keep in contact. I mean it!"

"me too"

They pulled out again. He left a peck on her head and looked behind her.

"Your best friend and brother are glaring at me!"

"HA, you deserve that anyway."

"Don't cry, ok?" she nods, smiling.

"Byeeeee" she tip toes and pecks his cheek.

He ruffles her hair, turning around with a wide smile. He takes one glance back, waving at her; she smiles, waving back...

She looks back at her brother and best friend with slight smiles, and she runs towards them, wrapping her hands around them. They laugh. Real laughs.

It's time happiness took its place again. I hope this time it lasts forever. But nothing stays forever, right?
