Part 13

Years passed and I’m still with Ji Won. I didn’t think it was possible but I fell more and more in love with Ji Won everyday. We would do a lot of stuff together and we never had any fights. We argued, but it never came to the point where we would get really mad at each other and he usually let me have it my way. Kang Sung Hoon was Ji Won’s other friend and he hangs out with us a lot too. Sung Hoon is a little older than me and is really nice. He has this really cute smile. When he smiles, you can’t help but smile back. I called him ‘bang geul ee.’ He didn't have a good family life either. His dad is a drunk and his mom had passed away when he was young. Usually, it was just the three of us together. My home life is a lot better thanks to Ji Won. My stepmom didn’t dare to touch me anymore and it’s still the same between me and my dad. We don’t talk much. Ji Won’s parents like me a lot too. It’s because when they tell Ji Won to do something and he wouldn’t do it, they would come to me for help. I’m kind of like their pawn. Life was heaven for me until it completely shattered on this day. It started out with good news but who would have known it would end up in tragedy?

June 15, 1996
My stepmom and dad came home one day from visiting the Euns.
“Guess what?” my stepmom told me excitedly.
“What?” I asked calmly.
“The Euns are planning a wedding for you and Ji Won!” I sat down because my knees gave way. I was totally surprised by this news but I was so happy to hear it because I’m so in love with Ji Won.
“Really?” I asked excitedly.
“How did this happen?”
“Mr. Eun wanted Ji Won to get married and he figured you’re the girl he should marry.”
“What did Ji Won say?” I had to ask. I didn’t want him to be forced into this.
“Of course he agreed,” she answered.

My breathing increased so I took out my respirator. After I calmed down, my stepmom took me into her room and told me all about the arrangements.

Meanwhile back at the Eun mansion…
“Just because you’re making this wedding for me and Mina doesn’t mean I owe you anything!” Ji Won yelled angrily at his dad. Mr. Eun grabbed Ji Won by the collar of his shirt.
“Ji Won! Listen to me. Once you and Mina get married, your grandpa will give you all of his businesses. Sharing part of it with your dad isn’t asking for too much is it?” Ji Won pushed his dad away. He began to laugh.
“The only two people grandpa will give the businesses to is me or uncle. He won’t give it to you because you’ll spend it all on those whores! I bet all your money is gone by now.” It was true. Mr. Eun was in serious debt and he needed Ji Won to get married because Ji Won’s grandpa was going to give Ji Won his inheritance once he gets married. Ji Won had just turned 18 and his dad had planned the marriage months ahead. His dad got on his knees.
“Please son. Please do it for me.” Ji Won rolled his eyes.
“You’re so pathetic, dad.” He sighed. Living with Mina taught him compassion and sympathy for others.
“I’ll see what I can do dad.” He went into his room. Just then his cellular phone rang. He picked it up, thinking it was Mina.
Using his sexy voice, he whispered, “Hi Mina.”
A weird high-pitched giggle came from the other end of the line.
“Ooh…” said the voice.
“Hi to you too sexy.” Ji Won rolled his eyes.
“Oh shut up Sung Hoon.” Using his real voice, Sung Hoon began to laugh out loud.
“Gross Hyung! That’s how you talk to Mina? Ew! It gives me the chills!”
“Hey Sung Hoon,” said Ji Won seriously.
“Is everything set and ready to go?”
“Yeah hyung,” said Sung Hoon.
“Good,” said Ji Won, smiling.
“Meet me at the docks tonight. From there we can sail to the mainland airport and get away from Hawaii to start a new life in Korea.”
“Yeah,” said Sung Hoon.
“But did you tell Mina about it?”
“No,” answered Ji Won, sighing.
“I’m afraid she won’t leave her family. I’m planning to just kidnap her and take her along. It’s easier that way and no hassle.”
“Right,” said Sung Hoon.
“At least the three of us will still be together.”
“Yeah,” said Ji Won.
“Meet you in an hour. Get everything ready. I got our money too.”
“Okay,” replied Sung Hoon.
“Bye.” Ji Won clicked off his phone. Ji Won’s dad didn’t know about it but his grandpa had given him $10 million in advance, along with hotel ownerships in Korea and Hawaii as his wedding gift. He planned to leave his dad $5 million and live off the rest with Mina and Sung Hoon. He smiled thinking about how he would get away from everything and just be with the one he loved the most, Mina.

Part 14

Back at home I was so excited I couldn’t sleep. I know I was still too young to be thinking about marriage but I know Ji Won is the only guy for me. I held my teddy bear close as thoughts of Ji Won drifted me to sleep.

It was midnight. Ji Won sneaked out of his house quietly without making a noise. He carried his backpack which was full of money on his back. He planned to go to Mina’s house to grab her and leave. Then it would be just be him, Mina and Sung Hoon leaving together. He was almost at Mina’s house when he realized that he was being followed. It was his uncle’s men. They came to get rid of him. Ji Won was smart. He knew the streets too well. He made it through the alley and those men ended up losing him. But when Ji Won reached Mina’s house, about 10 men had surrounded her house. They saw him approaching. Ji Won began to run as they chased him. He made it to the dock. He saw Sung Hoon on the boat.

“Hyung! Hurry! The boat is leaving!” Ji Won threw his bag onto the boat first and made a high jump. He landed safely onto the boat. His uncle’s men couldn’t chase him anymore. Ji Won and Sung Hoon started cheering until Ji Won realized what was missing. Mina. He had left her. Ji Won fell to his knees.
“What’s wrong?” asked Sung Hoon.
“Mina! We left her! We have to go back!” yelled Ji Won. Sung Hoon opened his mouth in shock because he just realized it too. Then he shook his head sadly.
“We can’t. If we go back, we’ll just get killed and we’ll be putting Mina’s life in danger too.” Ji Won moved away from Sung Hoon, knowing that the darkness will cover his face. And for the first time in his life, Ji Won cried.
