Unrequited Love

01

On a snowy winter night. A baby cried as its life on Earth finally begun. Her beautiful eyes, nose and lips looked exactly like her parents'. 

"Look HyeJin-shi, doesn't she look just like you" her father exclaimed as he brushed his finger tips along his daughter's rosy cheeks. Her mother had a smile on her pale as snow face. 

"She's lost too much blood during childbirth. In fact, there's not long before she'll become unconscious and pass away. She's sacrificed her life for your baby, she's very lucky to have a mother like her." 

Her father recalled back to what the doctor said to him just a few minutes ago. Tears trickled down his hot rosy cheeks as he held his wife's hand tightly. She opened her brown eyes slowly, they looked as if they were glistening  stars in the dark night sky. 

"What's wrong yobeo?" She questioned her husband. 

He shook his head  and replied "Nothing."

"Is she alright?" She questioned again. Her husband smiled and nodded. 

"That's good... But yobeo, I...I don't think, I'm able to see her say her first word, take her first step, or even open her eyes. Yobeo, I .. I can't do this anymore" 

"I understand Jagi, don't waste your energy on talking anymore. But can you just smile one last time? So i can still remember your most beautiful moment of you in your life." He cried.

"Yobeo, name her Sarang, and tell her I'm sorry i had to leave her. My sweetheart, Oh Sarang.." She used her last breath to squeezed those words out. She closed her eyes, and smiled. 

10 years later 

I walked into the school gates thinking about the exciting and adventurous year ahead of me. 

I waved back at mum who was outside the car "Bye umma!"

"Have fun Sarang!" 

Yes, my name is Park Sarang. Well, Oh Sarang to be exact. Apparently, my umma and appa found me on their door steps with my name written on a piece of paper, on a winter night many years ago. Umma decided to keep my name as Sarang because she thought I really brought love to the whole family. Oh, by the way. I have an older brother called Chanyeol in grade 7 Personally, i think he's a yoda and sometimes i think he is just a yoda that transformed into a human appearance!  

"PARK SARANG! WHAT ARE YOU GIGGLING ABOUT?" As i heard that voice get close to me, the more it creeped me out. Who could it be? Chanyeol, duh. 

"Heheheheheh. I was .. I was just - just looking around and .... a bird flew into the tree! Yeah, that's right! HAHAHA" I laughed.  Obviously Chnayeol didn't believe my lie, he looked at me again, as if he's giving me a second chance. 

"Well, I was just.. just thinking about..."

"ME BEING A  YODA RIGHT?!" He cut me off. Somehow he could always guess my thoughts instantly, as if he was my real  brother. I shrugged and tried to forget my thoughts. 'What was I thinking about? He is my really brother.' 

"Lets go Sarangie Pabo" He swung his arm onto my shoulders. 

Honestly, I think I'm really lucky. Really lucky to have parents who loved me to death although I'm not their biological daughter. Unbelievably, what I said. Was 100% true. 

It was snowing again. The first time in 2 years. It was like the day I was born. Of course I wasn't there to see it myself, but umma said she found on a day like that. Small snowflakes fell down from the sky onto the snowy streets. Every time I walked, i made small footsteps in the snow - my favourite part of winter. It was after school, I was waiting for Chanyeol outside school. Hours passed, the sun fell down as the moon appeared. Students rushed out of school, but there was no Chanyeol. I panicked. Suddenly, someone startled me with a hug on the back. I smiled and turned around hoping to see Chnayeol's warm face. But it wasn't. I saw a man, a man wearing a mask. When i got my head around whats happening, I was already unconscious. 

A few minutes later, Chanyeol walked out the gates with 3 of his mates. 

"Chanyeol, is your little sister really cute? I can't wait to see her!HAHA" One of them asked

"Ya! Don't ever think about approaching her." Chanyeol glared at him. 

"Hey, are you sure you don't have some sort of thing for your sister?" They all teased. 

All they got in reply was Chanyeol's darkened face. 

However, when he walked to the gates, he saw the little pink hair clip he got for Sarang on the sow along. Behind the hairlip was 4 footsteps. 4? Thats strange he thought. What, 4? 4! It must be a kidnap. Without hesitation, he ran straight back home, giving the news to umma and appa. Umma and Appa rushed out to their car and sped away in the dark night, leaving their son Chanyeol alone at home. 

"Park Sarang?" A voice woke me. "How come she doesn't even look like Park Sungsik? Are you sure its her?" 

"Doesn't matter now. Call him."

That's all the conversation I heard before i was splashed by a bucket of cold water. I finally realised whats happening. They must have thought I was their daughter so they kidnapped me for money. Oh, did i forget to say? Park family is in the top 10 companies world wide. Making it reasonable for people to kidnap their children. Suddenly, I felt relived. At least it wasn't Chanyeol. I smiled and my world turned black.

On the busy seoul streets. Umma and Appa Park are still busy rushing through the night. Chanyeol was home, he crouched into a ball, siting on the floor. Everyone's impression of him was cheerful, but no one knew. No one knew that he hated darkness. That's why when it's at night, he always went to Sarang's room for a while to watch her sleep, thats why he would always leave the light on during sleep, that's why he always pretends that he's alright so no one could find out that his weakness was the darkness, and of course, Sarang. 

"BEEP BEEP"

Car horns were heard all through the city, and the ambulance serine was flowing in the midnight city of Seoul. Just a few minutes beforehand. Park Sungsik received a call.

"Hello?" 

"Park Sungsik right? Your daughter is currently in our hands. If you want to save her, bring $100000000 to Han river tomorrow or else.... you'll see her dead body at your front door."

That much money wasn't small. But that was just a piece of cake for the Parks. What they really wanted was Sarang's safety. The Park couples sped off on the roads and BAM. 

A CAR CRASH.
