PART 6

WARNING: Curse words

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PART 6:Mystery girl

Mikyung's cries seemed to be endless, her tears continously flowing from her eyes like waterfalls, banging to the door she kept screaming for help, but why isn't anyone helping her?Why is she there on the first place?This is definitely not their house in Guangzhou, nor was it her friend's house, though it felt familiar..

In a blink of an eye, she was out of there and now she's running, in a middle of nowhere.Adrenaline rush would probably be the one to have caused her to be this fast, she doesn't seem to care about that, she looked terrified as if running from something--or someone.

She stopped shortly to catch her breath, held her knees and cotinued to breath heavily, just when she looked up, ready to run again--"There you are", and black out.

I immediately sat up, I held my hand only to see it still shaking.It was so vivid.It felt so real, the breaths, the runs, the tears, all of it felt real.I held my forehead and sighed.Then all of a sudden the room went dark again."Glad you're awake", the man said in a calm tone, so calm it's making me scared.I tried looking for thing you wouldn't see in a dream, a clock, calendar.

"Looking for something?", I tried slapping myself and then..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No!She's not staying here!" "She needs to meet her!", I heard shouts from downstairs so I quickly ran to see.

It was aunt and Yifan, their argument abruptly stopped as soon as I walked in. "What is it?", I asked.I looked at the couch and I also saw a girl,around 5 years old and she's looking down on her skirt, I turned to Yifan, and glanced at the kid. "Is she your daughter", I asked in English, I don't want to pressure the kid more. 

"Well--sort of" "There is no such thing as sort of your daughter Yifan.", I said raising my voice a bit, I sighed and spoke again," Who is she?", "She--she's your--sis-", before he could even finish I turned to the kid and spoke, "Ni hao, where do you live?" "Canada.", she answered in English, and that made me surprised.She looked at me in the eyes and--"Venus?", she stood and slowly walked towards me, I backed away from her obviously.Who the hell is this kid and how did she knew my name?

"Yifan who is this girl?", I asked again, "I told you she's your sister" "I don't have any fucking sister Yifan, don't you dare give me bullsh--", then the kid hugged me, the fuck is this kid doing?
I heard Yifan sigh. "She's technically your half sister", I think I just felt my blood boil, you mean this little shit is the main result of that woman's fucking affair? "Then why the hell is this kid here", I said obviously trying to control the words while I remove this kid's grip from me.

The kid looked at me again and spoke, "My name Beauty", I scoffed, seriously?I rolled my eyes.

"Why the fuck is she here", I asked to Yifan again.I'm not babysitting the kid who took my mom from me.He shrugged and turned to look at his mom.

"A man dropped her here claiming she's your sister" "you believed him?"

"That's what I told her", Yifan said, chiming in.I glanced at the kid, "Where's your parents?"

"Papa dropped Beauty here to Venus to stay with Venus", I can't help but roll my eyes. "I'm not Venus", I lied prying her grip away, she shook her head "No, you Venus" "I'm Mikyung, not Venus"

I looked at aunt again, "Let's bring her to the Police station, for all we know this kid might be part of an association", I looked at the kid and told her I'm bringing her back to her home.

I went back to my room, I'm not gonna believe that kid and that's final.

As I went back to the living room the kid was sitting on the couch, swaying her small legs.I looked at her carefully.

She has the same eyes as mom, the same smile. No.Erase that thought Mikyung, she is not your sister, and if ever that she is.She is not your responsibility.

I approached aunt, "I'm going to school, I can't take her there, if you can't too I'll do it after school.", I looked at the girl again before I left.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We're having a debate, and today we're hearing two sides of what people think about Family, ofcourse since Families aren't always functional, the other side would be saying the things one's suffering from his Family.", Oh this should be good.

I raised my hand, "Ms.Mikyung, what is your opinion, and which side are you taking?"

"You said so yourself that not all families are on good terms and I would agree on this, for not all of us are aware of what lies behind the smiles that such families show in public and how hideous they could be behind close doors, and how great betrayal is on one's family, so therefore I'm on the side of the non-functional families.", she nodded, "Is there anyone on the opposing side?"

"Me", I looked to where the voice came from--and why am I not surprise.

Yixing the great is the one opposing, I stopped myself from scoffing.

"Even though Ms.Mikyung do have a point, it would seem that from what she said, is she's telling us that behind those pretty smiles are different people?I think not, people who radiate the positive energy, are because that energy came from family, therefore their family is functional."

I faked a cough, calling out attention.

"You seem to be missing out the point though Mr.Yixing, although ofcourse I'll give you an applause for the energy part, I'd like to point out a flaw from that, you see most people who's been part of suicides are known for being jolly, joker--positive for short, most of those people who belong to non-functional families hide their pain and be all positive when in public, so tell me, was that clear?", I said, staring at his undecipherable reaction.

There was silence after so, followed by applause from our Professor, obviously amused at the debate, I glanced at the time.

3..2..1..

"As wonderful as this may seem, I'm afraid it's already dismissal time, I hope the others have taken notes of those words for I will be giving those who hadn't attend the debate to search up the reasons why families are functional and why are they not.Good bye everyone, I'll be seeing you all tomorrow.", and with that cheers were heard throughout.

I felt Hyunae shaking me, "Wow Kyungie, never realized you were so vocal about those things", I just shrugged at the thought.

I glanced back to Yixing, expecting him to frown at him, but instead, I saw him smiling.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm home!", I announced once I got back, I looked around and I saw that Beauty was still here.I looked for aunt.

"I'm gonna take the kid to the station now", I told her, but before I even stepped away she told me that she already did, and they have to wait for anyone claiming a missing child before they could take her. "Doesn't that make us kidnappers?", I asked confused.Aunt just waved me off and denied the idea.

"Venus back!", she greeted upon seeing me, I just nodded.

I went to my room and zoned off to sleep.
