"Yes Mrs. Lee, her teeth will be fine and she'll have them right on time." I say, smiling sincerely at the older lady. She returned my smile and reached for her grand daughters school excuse.

Whe she was out of sight, I looked at Jessica, my co-worker and best friend, and sighed dramatically. "Is it happy hour yet? I'm parched!" She giggled and said, "It won't be as long as it has been!" Her response made me giggle also.

"Well, I guess let's clean up so we can take off." I say loud enough for it to bounce from the walls, echoing through my huge Dental Office.

She nods and gets up, quickly cleaning up the little bit of mess we have left. When we were done, I locked up my office and we called a taxi, we were going to go get tipsy... But we're not stupid. So we decided to just leave our vehicles at work.

Last week was pretty rough and I just want to have it over with. This weekend was my birthday and I was going to be twenty-seven. I wasn't delighted either. Happy because the good Lord is still blessing me with more years but I feel like I'm getting old.

This week has also been hard because I was talking to my mom over the phone and she told me that my daddy was sick and my brother was being a real asshole. He was a spoiled brat and if he wasn't so much bigger than me, I would kick his spoiled rotten ass myself.

On top of that, I couldn't get my young tormentor out of my mind. I know his birthday is close to mine but I can't really remember the day. I don't remember if it's the day before or the day after mine but I know it's close.

"I wonder what ever happened to Yong-Guk?" I absent-mindedly thought out loud. "Huh?" Said Jess, looking up from her phone. "Do you remember Bang Yong-Guk?" I ask, looking at her while my mind still wondering.

"As in Yong-Guk the little mean ass we went to school with? The one who gave you so much hell? The one you were convinced that hated you just for being born?" She laughed a little.

"Yes Jess... That one! What ever happened to him?" I asked. I go deep in thought. I wonder what would happen if I ever met him again? Would he notice me? Would he still treat me like trash? Would he be sweet to me? Would he apologize? Would I smack him across the face as hard as I could for making my life so miserable, or would I be able to just look into his beautiful eyes and forgive him?

I'm still deep in thought when she waves her hand in front of my face and snaps me out of my reverie. "Im sorry, What did you say?" I ask...

"Remember Jack? My boyfriend in high school?" I started concentrating and I did remember him. I remembered that he was a fricking dick! So I just nod slowly.

"When we were in highschool, he told me that Yong-Guk's father got into some shit and stole a big bunch money from a really big drug lord and almost got killed for it. The only reason he is still alive is because Yong-Guk died to save his dad."

Before I knew it, I could feel the tears racing down my cheeks. "Are you CRYING?" Jess asked in a skeptical voice. "That's so sad Jess!" I replied slowly shaking my head side to side.

"He was your tormentor, Emily! Do you not remember how you were treated by him?"

And I did... All too well! "He still shouldn't have had to go through that! It's so aweful! My heart is broken for him! When did it happen?"
