Food and Them

Chapter 24: Journey

"Unnie,did you hear that Sally unnie trying to get sympathy from B2ST and Big Bang oppa when she was involved in an accident? Why stoop so low to get attention?"

Ha Joon overhears that and purposely throw the towel he holding towards the girls who is badmouthing Sally- noona. He stares at them and walks towards them. He can feel his body getting hotter as he is angry.

"YAH!"

"Ha Joon-ah!" he recognises that voice.

It is Sally noona. He smiles and runs towards her.

"Noona, eotteohge jinaeseyo?" asks Ha Joon.

Sally nods and pat his shoulder. Sally asks him to wait there and she walks towards her 2 workers. She frowns as she hears everything they said.It hurts so much.

"Tell me 2 ways how should I handle this situation. I heard what you said and I want both of you to tell me how should I deal with you. Tell me after work," says Sally calmly yet sternly.

She sighs as she leave them. Ha Joon was shocked how calm Sally noona is.

" Noona jjang!" says Ha Joon while showing 2 thumbs up.

Sally laughs and asks him to follow her.Ha Joon is like her younger brother. She do not show favouritism towards her worker. Both of them walks towards the meeting room available there.

"Unnie,you are not suppose to work right? Or Ray hyung as you to work?" asks Ha Joon.

"I'm here to see you and we need to discuss something," says Sally.

Ha Joon frowns and wonder what are they going to discuss about. Ray is already inside waiting.

"Hyung , noona, waeyo?"asks Ha Joon as both of them didnot say anything.

"Ha Joon-ah, did something happen at home?" asks Sally.

Ha Joon looks down and clenched his hands. He do not know how to answer.

"Ha Joon-ah...

"Omma and appa getting divorce...appa is in a huge debt..."

"Do you know that your appa is arrested for hit and run?" says Ray bluntly.

Sally hits Ray's arm hardly. She knows Ray is angry at Ha Joon's appa.

"Ani...hyung...don't tell me..Noona...andwae," he cries.

Sally coaxs him and rub his back. Sally frowns at Ray and mouth saying it is his fault.

"He will be face imprisonment and ..."

"Oppa! Geuman!"

"Noona...hyung...I don't care about him...he is a burden!!" says Ha Joon bluntly.

Sally looks at Ha Joon with empathy. She do not want Ha Joon to suffer because of his father's mistake. It is unfair. Sally is still angry at her brother for saying everything bluntly. Ha Joon is only 17 years old but he is working part time to support his own pocket money and also his family. Sally continues to rub his back.

"It's going to be a rough journey ahead. Hyung will ensure that he will not burden your family but promise me to finish your studies well,"says Ray.

Ha Joon nods his head. Sally helds his hands. Ha Joon apologises.

"You do not need to apologise because you did nothing wrong,"says Ray.

Sally smiles as tears well up in her eyes. She hugs Ha Joon. She can see B2ST oppas waiting outside the room. Ray opens the door and let them come in while he excuse himself.

"Yah! I'm jealous! You come to viait Ha Joon but not us! How could you?" says Kikwang while pouting.

Ha Joon calms down.

"Ha Joon,gomawo for standing up for me just now," says Sally before asking Ha Joon to go home to calm himself down.

Sally turns and see all of them having the question mark face. Sally laughs and tries to brush it off.

"Yah,someone says something that hurt you?" asks DooJoon sternly.

"I am so going to give the person a lecture for doing that just like how I always reprimand B2UTY if they do something not right,"says YoSeob.

"Me too!" says the other four.

Sally just smiles and says she will handle it her own ways. She pushes them back to their waiting room.

"Hwating Sally! We going to perform now. Take care! We are going to see you later," says Jun Hyung.

Sandy: yah!you are supposed to rest!come back home now!"
Sally:arayoo! Yah! I hear you and TOP oppa went on a date last night. How was it?
Sandy:YAH YAH! i am blushing. Come back and I will fill you in! :)
