My dad remained quiet while my stepmother talked.
“Of course Ji Won.”
Ji Won rolled his eyes. “Okay, and I’ll make
sure you keep your promise.” Then Ji Won turned to
face me. “Come on, let’s go.”
“What?” I asked confused.
“Go to my house with me.”
“Go go!” said my stepmom pushing me towards
Ji Won. “Have fun kids and stay out as long as you
like.” I knew my stepmom was really ticked off but
she was playing it off pretty well.
Ji Won continued holding my hand and never once did he
let it go. The walk to his house took us 15
minutes and I was enjoying every minute of it.
When we reached his house, Ji Won let out a
sigh.
“Mina,” he said softly. “Just
stay quiet and let me do the talking okay?”
I nodded my head and we entered his house.
His house was huge! I felt as though I’m
a peasant walking through a castle. He even
had a few maids and butlers who attended us.
Ji Won led me to his room. It was nice and
clean but there were a lot of holes all around
his walls. I sat down on his bed as he went
into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When
he was done, he came out and sat next to me,
holding my hand. I really am in love.
“Ji Won, how come your walls have a lot
of holes?”
He shrugged his shoulders and I massaged it
for him. As he relaxed, he answered me. “Oh,
it’s cause I fight with my parents a lot
so I take it out on the walls.” Judging
by the holes, I can tell that he was really
angry every time he made one.
“Come on,” he said. He lifted me
up on his back and gave me a piggyback ride
downstairs. He smelled so good now that he’s
clean and fresh.
His dad was waiting for him in the den. I waited
outside while Ji Won came into face his dad.
Ji Won came in, uninterested in what his dad
had to say. “What is it dad?”
