My Powerful Ace

Chapter 17:

Avy's POV
What should I do?? I walked to the nearest place to stay, a place that is just meters away from the house. I can't find a low pricing unit to stay

I sighed infront of the house "I should just quietly go upstairs?" I asked myself as I slowly turn the door knob and wandered my eyes around the place "where is he?"

Nevermind... Just go quietly to the attic

I tiptoed in the house and close the door silently. As I took about four steps on the stairs the bathroom door suddenly opens. I saw his packed hard muscles and our eyes met, I turned around as I stamp my head on the wall and covered both sides so that I will not see a thing, even though I saw it already.

"Don't ever take a peek... no one. As in No one have ever saw me like this" he said running to his room

The place is filled with heat so I fan myself. As soon as I heard the door closed, I head to the attic but I am a bit shocked that all my things are not here. "He's so rude" I stop myself from tearing up but I filled myself with anger.

I heard footsteps downstairs, I gathered all my strength and confidence to face him.

He was preparing the ramyeon he cooked and rice on the table. "Yah! Why are you so merciless!" I shouted which made him in a terribly shock but he just sat down and started to fill his plate with rice.

"Are you even listening to me?!! Did you threw all my stuff away?! Where!! In--in th--the garbage?" I am burning up and just let my mouth say anything it wants to say but he is just ignoring me

"Yah~ no wonder you--" it made me startled because he suddenly drop his chopsticks and his eyes were like a fiery pit again. That's when I knew I have to zip my mouth

"You're too noisy" he said being irritated of everything I am doing "yah! Go upstairs and open the room infront of mine.." he said and continued eating

I ran upstairs and checked the room "wah~ why are my things here? Is he giving me the room?" I drop myself in the bed, it feels like heaven. I felt my cheeks were burning up

I then head downstairs and bowed to him "kama hamnida" I told him, when I was about to leave he stopped me

"Where are you going?" He asked seriously

"I will just go and do some things" I smiled but his face turns scary

"How can I possibly eat all of this?" He said pointing at the food on the table. The rice cooker was full and the ramyeon was about 4 servings. "Come on.. Let's eat together" he said

I slowly drag myself to the table and was hesitating to sit down "what are you doing? Dig in" he said

"Thank you for the food! I will enjoy it!" I said but he suddenly laughed

Did he laugh? Wahhh~ his smile is so eye catching

I just look at him but he suddenly turned serious again "what are you doing?" He again said and he put a 5 spoonful of rice on my bowl "thank you" I told him

It was silent and no fun. After we finished eating I washed the plates and waited for him to go upstairs. I can finally breath

Was that really him?

I washed all the plates and now lead myself to my room. I opened my books and started studying for the upcoming exams, I really want to pass everything so that I can have a scholarship.

I have a study table now... after 6 years, I look around and realize that I finally get to used a table, a bed that's soft like the clouds,and everything nice. I sighed and concentrated to all my studies

Heeseung's POV

"How dare she... she called me merciless?!" I covered the blanket and just getting mad at the pillow beside me "am I that bad??" I stand up and look at the mirror "I am not that bad" I complimented myself while I was checking my face starting from my hair down to my jaw

I walk towards my study table because exams are fast approaching. I studied until my back and my neck gets stiff. I remove my glasses to massage my eyes, then I also checked the time and it was 12:43 AM

I didn't notice the time

I guided myself downstairs for a glass of water and sleeping pills. I was about to open my door but I was reminded of her so I took a peek in her room. I sighed after I saw her sleeping on her study table.

"Aigoo... I provided you a soft and comfier bed for you to sleep soundly but look at you.. Aisst.. Your back and neck will hurt much tomorrow morning" I just talk to myself and closed the door, not minding her own life

I went back to sleep..

-_-_-_-
I opened my eyes and the sun was making my room brighter like outside. That notifies me to go for a run and visit my mom. I check the time and it was passed 10

I overslept

I zipped my jacket up to my jaw, even though I know that this time of the day is very hot. I just don't care as long as I can see my mom and greet her

I tied my shoes tightly because it's a long way to run. I then went out, I started warming up and now run as fast as I can so that I will be there in just 5 minutes or rather 7 or 8 minutes

As I was getting close to my mother's tree a girl was lingering around it and was forming a flower crown with my mother's blossoms.

I stopped to catch my breath and sat on the stone bench "what do you think you're doing?" I raised my eyebrow and crossed my legs

"While I was strolling around and saw the flowers in this tree. I was reminded of my mother" she said as she placed the last flower she picked "she would love it... me "just like the willow tree"" she suddenly said and placed the flower crown she made on my head

We spend the whole day under the willow tree where our love grows... just like a willow tree we learned how to balance everything, and grow with each other in harmony.

I was reminded of that line in the book "Me, You and the willow tree" by Park Sun Yeon

When she said "me just like a willow tree" it means she's learning, balancing everything, growing and Lastly harmony. All those years I think she really is a willow tree because everything her step family did, she withstand it until the end

I saw her back and it is a quite sad
