November 1, 1993 

Ji Won opened his eyes and found himself laying partially on Mina's body. He blushed and slowly moved away from her.

Then he just lay near her watching her sleep. 

Suddenly it caught his eyes. The sleeves and pant legs of her pajamas were lifted up and he got a good look at her arms and legs.

Dark purple bruises cover her entire body. There were several scars  on her legs and arms too.

Red lines run across her legs and it made Ji Won wince because it looked so painful. 

He didn't want to disturb Mina but he was really curious. She turned over and Ji Won lifted the back of her shirt.

It was even worse than her legs. Ji Won opened his mouth lightly in shock and touched her bare back delicately, fearing that he might hurt her. Mina began to stir. I rubbed my eyes and sat up.

I saw Ji Won looking at me with this sad expression on his face. "What's wrong oppa?" I asked. 

"Who did this to you?" 

Then he lifted the sleeve of my shirt.

I opened my mouth in shock. I tried to hide it but I couldn't believe he saw my bruises. 

As I tried to answer him, I heard my stepmom's footsteps heading towards my room. "Oppa!" I yelled, turning back to Ji Won, who was rubbing my bruises.

"You have to get out of here! My mom is coming!"

Ji Won looked at me surprised but I opened my window for him to climb out.

"Climb down this tree. Goodbye Ji Wonee," I said to him with tears in my eyes. 

Ji Won remained silent the whole time as he left her room.

But he didn't leave though. He sat on the branch of her tree and looked through her window.

He couldn't hear what Mina and her mom were talking about but he saw it. 

He saw Mina's mom bring out a small wooden stick and whack Mina with it several times.

Ji Won couldn't take it anymore. He busted back into Mina's room.
