Unleashing The Lies

8. The Last Goodbyes

Min Jangmi's POV

As soon as mom came out of the shower, I placed some comfortable clothes for her and got the first aid kit. I forcefully sat my mom down on the couch and started tending to her injuries.

Mom tried pushing away my hands and said, "Aw... Baby. No need to worry. I'm not hurt. No need for first aid. I'm completely fine! See-"

She stood up and immediately sat back down after receiving my glare. She pouted and said, "I'm supposed to be your mom and order you around, Jangmi. You're not supposed to do that!"

"You don't think that's going to work on me Mom, right?" I quickly applied medicine over her bruises and cleaned her wounds before applying band aids.

There was a weird expression on my mom's face. I sighed and asked her, "What did you break or dislocate this time?" A guilty look immediately took over my mom's face, "Left shoulder and right index finger"

I stood up and went behind her. "Jangm-", but before my Mom could finish her sentence I put my hands on her shoulder and located it to it original place with a loud crack in a flash.

A scream escaped her lips. By the time she stopped screaming I had already pulled her finger and had located it back. My mom glared at me.

I just smirked at my mother and made my way to the kitchen to get the food I prepared for her while she was taking a bath.

Mom forgot all about earlier when she saw what I had cooked. I had cooked her favorite food as I knew that during long missions she hardly eats anything.

My mother dug into the food while I prepared her medicines and cleaned the house. I forced my mother into taking her pills after eating and sent her to sleep while I read. After a while I too gave in to sleep and laid down beside my mother.

I woke up to the noise of my mother talking to someone. I quietly tip-toed near the bedroom door and spied on my mother. I saw a man I'd never seen before standing in our living room. He did not look threatening. I listened carefully and heard;

"You need to send her away. They know. They will be here soon enough. You must save her life and send her somewhere safe. I found out from my men that today's fight increased the suspicion. Luckily I erased her records in time, and she was well disguised when she came to help you. Do whatever you want but send her away if you love her and want to protect her.", the man said in a grave and pleading tone. He wore a hat and a mask which covered his face. He looked familiar to me. I just couldn't remember who he was.

My mom nodded and said, "Okay." The man sighed with relief and left. I went back to bed and fell asleep again instead of confronting my mom because I knew that she will tell me when she's ready.

Meanwhile

Min Hangeul's POV

I need to take Yoongi's help. He's the only one I can trust! I quickly found some paper and an envelope and wrote a letter to Yoongi about how the situation here was getting worse and that I'd be sending Jangmi to him.

I decided to transfer all my wealth to him so that he can take care of Jangmi peacefully. I remembered the people he lived with and also asked him to take precautions and increase their safety. I didn't mention anything about Jangmi's name or gender for I had to keep her identity hidden. I finished writing the letter and signed it M.H. and posted it.

I felt tears forming up in my eyes because I knew that it was time for me to leave Jangmi. I went into my room and took out a box.

A box which I had made for Jangmi's survival. For her to survive when I'm not around. I placed the box in her closet and went into the living room. I sat down on the floor and cried my heart out quietly.

Narrator's POV

Hangeul stood up after a while and woke up her daughter. She place her hands on Jangmi's shoulder and told her, "Baby. I need to go. A problem has risen. They found out about me and are coming after me. The situation is worse now. I may or may not survive this-"

Hanguel put her finger on Jangmi's lips to prevent her from speaking and continued, "-but that does not mean that you can't survive. You don't need to survive. You have to survive. Not for yourself. For me. I want to go out there knowing that you will survive in this cruel world even though I might not be by your side to guide you. Okay?"

Jangmi nodded while tears threatened to roll out of her eyes. Hangeul continued, "Baby, remember one thing forever. Even though I might not be present physically beside you, I will always be with you. In your heart. Always."

Hangeul took a deep breath and started speaking in a serious tone, "Now Jangmi, here's the main part. I'll be leaving to deal with them. I've pulled some strings and managed to divert them to another safe house which I had prepared just in case something like this happened. Now, here's what you're going to do. It is 10:00 pm right now. Something like this doesn't take a very long time and so if I don't return by 7:00 am tomorrow, you will leave. I know that you will want to wait more. And so if there are no signs of my return till 7:45, you start packing and leave by 9:00.

"How do I know what exactly to do?" Jangmi asked. "You'll know when the time comes, okay baby?" Jangmi nodded and hugged her mother tightly before watching her dress up and leave with nothing but a gun on her.
