Let Me Know

AKIRA MAXINE DEE

—I've heard some noises downstairs, looks like Akushi's talking to someone. I went to where Akushi at, he's alone. "Who are you talking to Akushi?" I ask worriedly, he smiles. "Im talking to Sayoko-nee, huh she's here earlier." He said and roam the place, imaginations.

"There's no such thing Sayoko here!" I said, he pout. "There is, she's kind to me!" I raise my brow, he gulp. "Where is she then?" I asks, he smiles. "Vanished, she only meet me when im alone." He said, Oh really. I felt suddenly dizzy, I rush to the toilet and throw up. "Onee-chan, daijobou?" He asks, I wipe my mouth and nod.
"Are you sure?" He asks and handed me a glass of cold water, I smile.

"Onee-chan, can you let me know about what exact happened before?" He asks, I gulp. We went to the living room and sat, he open the television. "When our oba-chan lock you up in a cold room, filled with water." He mumble, I gulp. Memories start flashing in my mind, I sigh. "Should I?" I asks, He nods.

"Oba-chan and Oji-san loves to take care of me before, we live in the main palace that time. I suddenly cut the skin of Minseok, I accidentally cut it. I was really sorry that time, Oba-chan got mad because they cant believe the girl they take care of can do such things." I start, Akushi lay in my side. I smile at him and continue, it hurts me.

"Oji-san never wanted to lock me up, but since Oba-chan need to inject some curse to pay her dept. She lock me up to the cold room, filled with water for three years. I was forced to stay in the cold water, only the darkness can see in there. There's no such thing light in that room, I continue living like that." My voice crack, my vision start to blur.

"One time, I fell to the ground. The water was gone, I apologize to Oba-chan and promise to never do it again. Same goes to Oji-san, he didn't believe me. He didn't stop his wife, he just watch and listen to his granddaughter begging for her life. Oba-chan injected me the virus of the demon, that's my curse. A psychotic demon entered my body, no one knows how it hurts." My vision turn black, I can feel that the curse marks were spreading.

"But thank god, you came. Mama and papa came, the three of you becomes my light. I regain my consciousness after a month that I escaped that place, my body feels nothing back then. I cant eat, nor talk. We flew to Korea and live there for a while, I learn how to walk again that time. It was valentine, that i'd met Jimin. I was alone with some couples, all I want is to stare at the shining moon." I said, I can sense Akushi's worried looks.

"He stay by myside, without asking my name. He gave me some chocolates and flower, that time I my heart were beating so fast. I cant believe that a guy like him will did that to someone like me, to a curse child. After that day, I start stalking him. Maybe I am crazy to be so into him, but how can I be happy without him? He's the new light that brights so hard, in the darkness called sadness." I said, my vision came back.

"And now, he choose someone over the girl who loves him so much." Akushi mumble, he wipes my tears away. "Onee-chan, I wont leave your side again." He said and hug me, a tear fell from my eyes. Our grandparents lock up in the dungeon when the highness heard the rumor, they were scared. Our parents decided to live in Japan, with us. I have no choice to stop stalking Jimin, I'd just fangirl over him in Japan.

Every concert or fanmeetings I always came, but he doesnt remember me. "Onee-chan, if he went here and ask you to be with him will you come with him?" Akushi asks, I took a deep breathe. "Who knows." I said and smile at him, he chuckle. My phone beep, its from Minseok. "How are you? Hope you're fine." I smile from his text.

"You know, onee-chan. Its already midnight, let's go to sleep." He said and stood up, he chuckle and help me to go to my room. I enter my room and bid Akushi goodnight, I turn the lights off. I lay in my bed and cover myself with the blanket, I miss him so much.
