[Chapter 9]

Sumi (POV)

Jungkook and I start walking back to the house and as we got inside and into the living room, we saw Yura walking downstairs towards us. She then stood in front of me and I was about to speak until she handed me something. I accepted it and look at it through fully. 

"A passport? You're going somewhere?"

I look up at her and all she had was a sad expression. She look at me with her teary eyes. 

Yura: I decided to go back to America. I was thinking that if I go to America, you're life will be better off. 

"If you're going to America because of what I said to you yesterday then I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that to you, it was out of anger."

Yura: No, it's not because of that. I know you didn't mean it. I just want to be away from here for a while. I miss having a peaceful life. I want to experience that once again. 

I then look back at her passport and back at her. 

"Maybe you're right. I think you're be more safer if you're far away from dad. I could take care of dad from here. Now you can go to America and never look back."

Yura: Thank you and I promise that I'll come back for you. I won't ever leave you behind. 

"I know you will."

She smiled at me, grabbed her luggage, and went out the house. I watch as she left to the airport with only me and Jungkook in the house. I walked back inside the house and into the living room. 

Jungkook: So what do you want to do?

"I don't know. I have to visit someone today. You can stay here until I come back."

I was about to walk out the house but he stopped me. 

Jungkook: Let me come with you. To accompany you. 

"I don't think you should come with me. I'm meeting someone that I don't want you to meet."

Jungkook: Stop worrying about me for once. Just let me come with you. 

I nodded my head and we took off towards my old abandoned house. As we got there, I was about to walk inside until Jungkook held onto my wrist. 

Jungkook: What are we doing here?

"You'll see for yourself." I said as I walked inside the house as he follows behind. I continue to walk until I saw him still tied up onto the pole, sleeping. I pull out a water bottle that I carried with me and splash him with it. He then woke up immediately and looked at us. 

Jungkook: Who is he Sumi?

"Jungkook meet my dad. Dad meet Jungkook."

I walked up to him and took off the tape from his mouth and walked back to Jungkook. 

Dad: Well look who we got here. Where's Yura? I haven't seen her in a long time. 

"She's gone. She's somewhere far away that you can't even imagine."

Dad: And you let her go just like that. 

"Of course. For her to be safe. I would do anything for her."

Dad: She left you that's what. She wanted you to think that she'll just go and come back but you're wrong. She left you and she'll never come back. 

"Like I would believe you."

I walk up to him and placed the tape back onto his mouth and I took Jungkook and walked out of the house.

It's been two months already since Yura left and there is only one more month before Jungkook and I graduate from high school. Jungkook and I were studying together for the exams then suddenly I got a voice message from Yura. I opened the text message and put it on speaker for me and Jungkook to hear. 

TEXT VOICE MESSAGE 

Yura: Um ... I don't know what to say. 

Her voice has a sad tune and I was starting to get worried. 

Yura: Now I promise you that I'll come back for you but I don't think I can Sumi. 

When she said those lines to me, my heart was shattered into pieces. 

Yura: My life over here is better than ever. And I don't want that life to go away. I know that I said to you that family is everything. I have my own family over here now. And I think you're better off without me in your life. I'm sorry Sumi. I really am. 

TEXT VOICE MESSAGE END 

As soon as the message was over, I didn't notice that I was crying. I quickly wipe my tears off my face and turned off my phone. 

Jungkook: Sumi? I'm so sorry. 

He came to me and hugged me and I hugged him back while sobbing into his shoulder.

One month has passed and we were done with our exams and now we were at our graduation after party. I finally graduated from high school. As I was looking around, Jungkook was having fun and being distracted. I walked out of the party and drove off to my old abandoned house. I walked inside the house only to see my dad conscious and looking at me. I walked up to him, took off the tape, untied him, and took him towards the old couch. 

Dad: What changed your mind?

"You were right. About everything. I should've listened to you."

Dad: You're my daughter. My favorite child. I would do anything to tell you the truth. 

"Me helping you doesn't change anything at all. Just to let you know."

Dad: Haven't these people hurt your feelings enough? Don't you want revenge? Because there is one more truth that you need to know. 

"And what is that?"

Dad: I didn't kill your mom. I only harm her but I didn't kill her. 

"What?"

Dad: Yura did. She was protecting your mom from me but she accidentally push your mom and her head hit the table and died. When she knew what happened, she placed the blame on me and that's what happened that day. 

"So that's why you're always after Yura and not me."

Dad: Exactly. Yura is the real culprit here and you just let her get away.
