Appa

In between a rock and a hard place

I couldn't stand the way Hwang was screaming at the top of her lungs and crying, I hid in an alleyway and dried her tears that kept coming back. I tried cheering her up but she didn't even like me right now.

Aigo...only if she understood the position I'm in.

"What?! What do you want from me?!" I stood up, throwing my arms around like a crazy person, she was making me feel guilty and cry too.

"I want my daddy!!" She folded her arms and looked up at me, glaring. "I CAN'T!!!" "WHY NOT?!" "BECAUSE HOW DO WE KNOW TO TRUST HIM?! YOU'VE JUST MET HIM, I'VE JUST MET HIM!!!" not really. But we've had our first interaction today.

"I DON'T CARE, HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF TO ME AND WE BECAME FAST GROWING FRIENDS!!!" "I DON'T CARE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU KNOW HIM!!!" "YES IT DOES, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NOTICED THE SIMILARITIES MOTHER!!!" A word she's never called me. My heart ached, I was taken aback. I stumbled backwards and plopped down on some old boxes used for carrying studd around.

"I'll run away if you won't let me see my father!!" I scoffed and looked towards Hwang Shin Young. "You're five, you're under my house arrest until you're 18." "Shared custody!!" She blurted out, I cocked an eyebrow. "Where'd you learn that...?" I asked, folding my arms. "Aintie Yeri!!!" She sat up straight, jutting out her chin and puffing out her chest. She knew I didn't like that cunt.

I rolled my eyes, biting into my lower lip so I wouldn't curse. "Of course she did..." I grumbled.

"I could just run out of here and run around and find my father. He could take care of me!!" "AND WHAT THE FUCK HAS HE DONE?!" I stood up, my voice echoing throughout the alleyway, throughout Hwang Shin's body.

"Nothing." She stood up on the boxes she was on, leveling herself with me, almost. I'm still taller. "Exactly." I gritted my teeth. "No, no. Not exactly. He's done nothing wrong, so why are you hating on him?!" "We don't know anything about him!!!" "THEN WHY AM I HERE?!" my face turned pale, I didn't wanna talk about...sexual things...about my fear...about how she was made...

"U-uhm...uhh...uhuhuhhmm..." I didn't know what to say. She folded her arms and popped out her right hip. "You love daddy and you know it. Yeri told me that whenever a man and woman love each other-" I tried covering her mouth but she dodged my grab. "THAT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER IN NO WAY BOOKS OR MOVIES CAN DESCRIBE!!" she finished what she was gonna say.

I stopped wat I was doing. I guess what she said wasn't so bad...

"I never loved your father..." I sighed out, Hwang looked at me, her face said "betrayal" all over it.

I sighed and backed up till I plopped back down on the boxes I sat on earlier. "I was inseminated..." she frowned and slowly sat down on the box she stood on. "W-what's that...?" Her arms were placed on both sides of her, her legs dangled down from the box she sat on.

"Let me tell you a story..." she gasped, her eyes were filled with life, with joy. I chuckled and sniffled, dabbing my tears away with the sleeve of my jacket, with the right sleeve.

"Uhm..." I licked my lips and looked up at the sky, Hwang Shin Young stared at my face, never letting her eyes leave from me.

"So...there was a woman...she didn't like interactions with people..." "Why..?" Starting the story out with a question...okay. I chuckled and shrugged. "Because...because people made her nervous and annoyed. So...so her only friend was her older brother who she could tell everything to...but there came a price to that." Hwang gasped, her heart dropped. The instant suspense got to her.

I chuckled and closed my eyes. "What happened?!" She asked, holding her balled up hands up close to her mouth. "Uhm...well...the girl wasn't ready for her other family to know so she asked him to keep the stuff she told him private." She nodded and hummed, she began to swing her legs back and forth, "thud" sounds being made whenever her legs were reeled in to the box.
