I was staring at the phone longingly and wondering.
Would it really be okay? Should I call? But what if he's still looking for me?
I kept staring at the contact info on my phone display "Mommy💞". I really wanted to contact my parents, tell them to come to me and Ireshi, I finally had a home, a job and a friend. A trusted one. Having my parents around would have really helped.
«You should call her.» Jisoo said from behind me making me jump «Unnie! You know you can't just jump out of nowhere!» Jisoo sat beside me on the couch «Come on, no bad person is going to be here.» she then placed a hand on my thigh «But really, call them. Call your parents. You're safe here and even if Seungyoon is really still looking for you, he wouldn't be able to get to you or Ireshi. If he tries we'll get him in jail. I promise you, I will do everything I can to give you some justice. Now,» Jisoo tapped my mom's contact starting the call and then passed me the phone «talk to her.» «JISOO UNNIE NO! I CAN'T!» I yelled and stood up moving away pushing the phone to Jisoo.
In that moment my mom must have answered as Jisoo took charge speaking in English «Uhm, hello? Miss Manobal?» she stared at me as I was now shaking «Hi yes! Nice to meet you, my name is Kim Jisoo I'm your daughter's uhm, friend. She's here with me but she's too scared and most likely ashamed to talk to you. Should I give you our house address so you can come visit and talk face to face?» she kept looking at me, while I hugged myself, still shaking a little, my teary eyes on her «Sure, I'll send you the address from my number. In case Seu–» My eyes widened «Don't mention him! They don't know!» Jisoo nodded «Nevermind. Do please refrain from telling anyone who asks about the address. I'm someone important here in South Korea and I value privacy. Alright. Goodbye.» she hung up and looked at me crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow «You didn't tell your parents?» I looked down and slowly sat near Jisoo, drying my eyes «No...» I sniffed and looked down at my hands as I played with them «When everything happened... I closed up... My parents obviously knew something was going on. After the first rape... Once I finally left my room, well, obviously they wondered what happened... I told them me and Seungyoon broke up on really bad terms and that he shouldn't be allowed anywhere around me... I even got a restraining order... That's how much they know... They know Seungyoon is Ireshi's father but, they still don't know how that happened... They don't know about... Everything I told you...» I snapped my head up to look at her seriously «And they mustn't know. Am I clear? I don't care what you think is right. I don't care if you're older. I don't care if you're wiser. They. Must. Not. Know.» Jisoo sighed and uncrossed her arms «Fine. I respect your decision. And I do understand your choices. But I don't completely agree. You're ashamed. As if it's your fault everything happened. As if you brought this upon yourself. But that's not true. You did nothing. Nothing. And you have no reason to be ashamed, because you didn't do anything shameful. Not even when you "voluntarily" had sex with people. Because you were forced. You're not who you think you are. Not the bad person you think you are.»
