EPISODE 2
Now that the tension has eased up, I sat uncomfortably on the sofa. My knees are still shaking and I'm sweating cold. The heavy and dark atmosphere is scaring me. Their faces were not as hard as before but their silence is killing me. It felt like anytime, they will explode. Thankfully, I'm only 16 because if not, they'll surely send me to the police = _ = I wonder now...what will happen?
"What are we going to do with her?" they discussed among themselves.
"let's send her to the authorities" he (Sungkyu) suggested. argh. I always hate his silly suggestions!
"fine, then" their hyung named Lee Jung Yeop agreed and the rest as well. Oh no. this is bad.
"shireo! (I don't like!)" I demanded. Oh please don't send me anywhere than here!
"and who are you to disagree?" he (Sungkyu) asked. I rolled my eyes.
"uh? look at that brat!" he looked embarrassed with my behavior.
I pout. na do (me too) I'm getting embarrassed by his behavior!
"stop it!" Mr. Lee, their hyung, told us
"p-please...don't send me anywhere...let me stay here...please..." I begged Mr. Lee
"but---"
I knelt down before he can finish his words, I know he's going to tell me, 'we have to send you there'. I'm afraid to hear those words.
"hajima (don't do that)" Mr. Lee tried to lift me up but I insisted. This is the only thing I can do so I can stay...
"please...let me live here..." I bowed my head because I know I'm about to burst with tears...
"why do you like so much to live here? It's better if---"
"there's no better place than home" I remember my parents once told me those words...and the tears start falling... "this is the only thing my parents have left me. If I lose this house, it will feel like I'll be losing them again. . ."
Though I cannot see their expressions with my eyes shut, I can sense them watching my pathetic appearance kneeling before them... I never hoped that they'll feel compassionate towards me, I'm just hoping that they'll understand.
A moment of silence. It took him a while before he could speak again...and all worries are in between... what if it didn't work? what if they drag me out of the house? what if they send me to the authorities? what will I do?
I just hope he can find the right words...
"ok then. we'll let you live here" I don't know if I hear him right so I raise my head hoping he can repeat the words but he did not... I think he's expecting a response from me...
