Hideous Soul [Minsung]

3. The Business

Listen to "Midnight sky" by Miley Cyrus for this Chapter.

"Miss The director would like to meet you" said the manager in a strange voice.

The doors opened to a big luxurious office tiled with white and black marble and filled with beautiful rose aroma. So Hee quietly walked in to see her uncle sitting on his big chair looking out of the window, she didn't say anything and sat on the red leather sofa near emerald jade vase which was placed on the glass table . The director noticed and turned around with a rather blank face.

"How is jisung?" he asked in a very soft comforting voice. which was quiet opposite of his looks

"not okay, but he tries to look fine," replied sohee with a guilt-ridden voice

"and you?"

"huh"

"kid, I'm asking if you're okay?" he said

"i have to be," So Hee quietly added.

Mr. Seo (jisung's uncle) stared at the girl for a long time and as every second passed by he regretted his decision to let his sister (han's mom) live with that man. Soyeon finally broke the weird silence with a statement that shocked Mr. Yang to the core.

"I want to enter the family business"

Mr. Seo didn't move for like 5 minutes, he just stared at his niece's face and wondered how can world be so cruel. "No," he immediatly said in an attempt to end the conversation. But So Hee  had already made up her mind.

"I can't run away anymore. The clan needs me and you know that better than anyone else" So Hee said. It was more of a command than a statement.

"Indeed, the clan needs you but this is still too early, too reckless and you are safe here. Plus you don't you anything about those disgusting Le-,"

Before Mr. Seo could complete his sentence, they heard a loud thud piercing through the window and breaking the emerald jade vase in pieces. Horrified The director rushed near his niece to check on the her, So Hee terrified was looking down at the broken vase. Upon seeing her scared expression, Mr. Seo looked down only to find a bullet lying there.

"I am taking over and I need your help," So Hee commanded.

Finally, it's the lunch break, jisung's back had been so sore from sitting in one position for 3 hours straight and the wounds were not helping at all. Trust me when i say that Changbin ran like a crazy ape as soon as he heard the bell ring, jeongin and han slowly followed the older behind.

All three sat at their usual table and started to eat, but midway through his meal, jisung felt a pair of eyes on him. He turned around to see the new kid, Minho looking at him like he was a snack. Though Jisung felt weird, he just thought that Minho must've wanted to talk to him as he is the only one who talked to him today. And so Jisung decided he will make a new friend. A friend.

Almost done with his food, jisung looked around to see the new kid once more but he was not at the table anymore. From the corner of his eye han saw few bully take minho by the collar and drag him outside of the cafeteria. Anger and worry filled Jisung's body. He got up instantly and without a thought started sprinting towards the gate. Not wanting to create a scene, jisung quietly followed them into a lesser known area of the school.

They entered the new school building, which was still under construction. Upon entering one guy pushed Minho to the ground and started kicking him in the stomach again and again. Fear and terror froze Jisung for a moment.. It was like those tormenting memories were coming back.
