"Order SechsKies!” yelled Ji Won.
“Ooh, ooh,” said Jae Duc. “I want some
kimbab!”
Ji Won glared at him. Jae Duc shuts up. “Now I want
to talk to all of you about Min Sung. He’s only been
here for a few months but he had saved my life twice and
not to mention, Sung Hoon’s.” Sung Hoon slapped
Min Sung on the back and smiled.
“Now,” continued Ji Won. “What do you
want Min Sung? A car, money, women? Tell us and it’s
yours.”
“Yeah,” said Sung Hoon. “Just name it
buddy and it’s yours.”
I thought about it for a while. The only thing I wanted
was Ji Won but I couldn’t say that. Since he was suspecting
me so much there was only one thing I should ask for. “I
want a woman,” I told them. They all opened their
mouths in shock.
“Alright Min Sung, you dog!” yelled Sung Hoon,
breaking the silence. “At least you’re proving
to us that you’re a man now!”
“Okay,” said Ji Won slowly. “Who’s
the girl?”
“So Kyung Hee,” I announced.
I saw Sung Hoon’s smiling face turn mad.
“Who do you want?” Sung Hoon asked me in disbelief.
I repeated myself. “So Kyung Hee.”
Sung Hoon grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. “Out
of all the girls you could have picked, why her?”
he yelled at me. I knew Sung Hoon liked Kyung Hee but Kyung
Hee was the only person that could help me.
“I happen to like her too,” I answered him.
“Besides, you all said I can have anything I want,
and I want Kyung Hee.”
“He’s right,” said Ji Won softly. “We
can’t go back on our words.” Ji Won clapped
his hands for attention. “So Kyung Hee now belongs
to Ahn Min Sung. Anyone from SechsKies who touches her,
the penalty is death.”
Su Won and Ji Yong had to hold Sung Hoon back from attacking
me. “I thought you were my friend!” he yelled
as they took him away. I sighed and headed for my room.
Ji Won looked at Min Sung as he was walking away. “Min
Sung.”
“Yes hyung?”
“Are you sure that’s what you want?”
“Yes hyung. I’ve never been more
sure in my life.” Then Min Sung left.
When I made it back into my room, Kyung Hee
was in there waiting for me. “What the
hell is going on?” she asked me. I knew
it was time to tell her my story. When I finished,
she was bawling like a baby. I handed her a
tissue.
“Th..that is s..so..romantic,” Kyung
Hee said, sobbing.
I patted her head as she leaned on me. “No,
it’s not.”
“So you’re not going to tell Ji
Won who you really are?”
I shook my head. “It wouldn’t matter
anyways.”
“How do you know? If he knows you’re
still alive, who knows? He might fall in love
with you.”
“Maybe,” I began slowly. “But
then he’d love me out of pity and not
out of love. I don’t want that.”
“Oh.” Kyung Hee stared at the floor.
“I wonder if Mickey really likes me.”
“What?!” I asked in surprise.
She looked at me sheepishly. “Oh, I forgot
to tell you that Mickey and I are beginning
to fall for each other.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t have a chance to. Besides,
it just happened.”
“I’m sorry Kyung Hee.”
“It’s okay,” she said as she
hugged me. “We’ll just have to put
our little romance on hold for a while. You’re
more important.”
“No, I’ll go tell—“
My words were cut off by my lack of air. This
time my attack was worser than it ever had been
before. Kyung Hee stared at me frightened.
“Mina! What’s happening?”
“C..can’t breathe…”
I managed to say. She lifted me up.
“Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“Don’t let the others see me,”
I said to her before I collapsed into total
darkness.
