Hurt

Chapter 42 - In Jejudo.....

Baekhyun

We arrive at Geumsik Ajumma's house. The house looked creepy and lonely even nothing looked change from physically. Hyekyo walked inside the gate. The bell be pressed. No one answering. Once again..

Ding dong..

Nothing..

We're looking into each other. It's strange. I try to press the bell but the answer is same. Nothing to be heard. Hyekyo walk to the backyard. I followed her. But, I feel something weird make me looked behind. Nothing.... But I feel like being watching by someone. Or it's just my imagination...

I hurriedly go to the backyard. Hyekyo try to unlock the behind door. But, fail. She walk around the backyard and I still follow her. Suddenly, I heard something. I looks around. The fears inside me keep blooming. But, I try to keep myself calm. When I turn back to see Hyekyo, she's not there. 

"Hyekyo-ah.."

No answer...I keep calling her name...

"Hyekyo-ah..Yah, Kang Hyekyo..", But it's same. 

"Yah, where're you? Stop joking. It's not funny", I said with my tremble voice.

Suddenly, someone is covering my mouth and pull me behind. I try to struggle and let myself go but Hyekyo's face approach make me stop. She hint me to be quiet. I look around and we're outside the store beside Geumsik Ajumma's house. A strange voice come from in front the house make me quite surprise. Hyekyo once again hint me to be quiet and she peeks to look what happen. I follow her by peek at the other side of the store's wall.

When I look clearly who's the person talking, it was Geumsik Ajumma and someone unfamiliar with me. They look in serious talking. They must be from somewhere from the way Geumsik Ajumma wearing. That strange man give something in the envelope to ajumma. Looks like something heavy in there. I'm not sure because I can't see it clearly. After a while, the man who's in the suit go and Geumsik Ajumma go inside the house. 

Then, I see Hyekyo in front the the house and pressing the bell. I follow her and the door is open. Geumsik Ajumma looks shock and start stutter.

"H-Hy-Hyekyo-ah, wh-wha-what're are doing here?", said ajumma.

"Can I go inside?", said Hyekyo.

"Eh? Ah.... s-s-su-sure, why not? Baekhyun also here", ajumma said and let us in.

"What are you guys doing here? Did something happen?", she said

"Just. I need to talk something with you", said Hyekyo.

"Sure. Let me get you guys something for a drink", ajumma said and walk into the kitchen but Hyekyo stop her. 

"No. I don't think I need something to drink for this time", said Hyekyo.

"You look serious. Must be something really important, then."

Ajumma sit and look at Hyekyo. 

"Then, what are you gonna talk about?"

"Ajumma, you told me you had stalked me about 14 years already, right?"

"U-Uh? Uh, yeah."

"Everything about me....the past...is there any evidence or something that tell you if my twin still alive?"

"U-Uh? Y-Your twin?"

Hyekyo nod.

"I-I can't remember."

"Really?"

"Yeah".

"Then, it's something I can't do about."

"Yeah.....w-w-why not you just forget about it? The scar..the past..that boy.. just forget it?"

Hyekyo looks at Geumsik Ajumma. 

"W-Why 're looking at me like that?"

"Nothing. Then, I'll excuse myself."

She stand and walk away. I excuse myself and follow her. Geumsik Ajumma waves her hand to us but only me who receive it. Hyekyo just walk without looked at the back. 

"Then, where are we going?", I ask.

We walk past the beach and the wind really blowing hard. I looked at Hyekyo since she didn't answer me. She looked like thinking something. 

"Yah!", I shocked her by shaking her shoulder.

"U-Uh?", she looked flustered. 

"What're you thinking?"

Her face being calm again.

"Nothing."

Yeah, of course she didn't tell me. But then, I hear a grumbling's voice. I look at Hyekyo.

"Did you hungry?"

She didn't answer me again. Ouhhhh... this kid.. I grab her and force her to follow me.

"What are doing now? Let my hand go".

"Don't wanna. Follow me."

"Let me go", she struggle to let her hand off me but I still refuse. 

"Aishhh..stay still and just follow me. I'm not someone who afford to do something dangerous to you so don't worry and follow me."

But then, she manage to let her hand go from me. 

"I'll follow so don't touch me."

"Yeah, yeah. Aigoo..", I said and walk.

As she said, she follow me. After a while, we arrive at the family restaurant that I really love here. We enter the restaurant and choose the seat near the window. The waiter come and take our order. I order two bowl of abalone hot stone pot rice. After the order, I take a look at Hyekyo. She was looking at me.

"Why'd you bring me here?"

"Why you said? To eat."

She sigh. 

"I didn't tell you I want to eat. Did I came here to had a meal with you?"

She stand but I grab her hand and force her to sit.

"Aishh... just eat, okay. What? Did eating kill you? Just eat, okay. I know you hungry. Your stomach keep grumbling to ask you to fill him. Don't you pity him?"

She didn't answer me.

"Just eat. I know you don't eat anything from morning."

While we talking, the meal arrive. The smell remind me the first day I arrive here. When my family and I came to Jejudo because my father had schedule here, Mom bring me to this family restaurant when I feel down because my father keep busy and don't have time to play with me. When I eat this abalone soup, I feel happy and don't feel sad anymore. 

Mom told me this place was the first place where she went with my father on their first date. She told me she was happy back then. But not now. My father change a lot before I was born. And I know the reason. I look at Hyekyo. She's eating well... 

Don't want to eat...my butt.. she finished her meal already while my bowl still full..

"Here...," I gave my bowl to her. She look at me weirdly.

"Finish it."

"Thanks, but no thanks."

I smile. 

"Just eat it. I can't finish eat. It's bad to leave the food."

"It's more bad if we eat some else's food."

I just smile and finish my food. Said something like that with the cold face really make me want to laugh but I hold it back because I know she didn't like it. We finished our meal and back to the airport to back to Seoul.
