Next Morning…
May 1, 1999
Ji Won began to stir. He woke up finding Min Sung holding
onto him tightly. Ji Won widened his eyes and gently unraveled
Min Sung’s arms and legs off of him.
The guys already called Min Sung gay and he didn’t
want them to think he’s gay too. He sat up and saw
5 of the SechsKies leaders lying on the floor.
Then Sung Hoon began to wake up. He sat up and looked around.
“Gross! How the hell did I end up down here?”
Ji Won shrugged his shoulders.
Then Jae Duc woke up. “Damn, my butt hurts. It feels
like someone kicked it last night.” Then one by one
everyone woke up.
“P.U.!,” yelled Jae Jin. “This floor
stinks!” Everyone started laughing.
“Sorry you guys,” said Ji Won laughing. “I
must have done a 360 and kicked you all off.”
“How come you didn’t fall off Min Sung?”
asked Ji Yong.
Uh, oh, I thought. “I did,” I answered him.
“But I got back up and went to sleep on the bed again.”
“Really?” asked Su Won. “I didn’t
even know. I just went right on sleeping.”
Ji Won began to study Min Sung. It was weird but somehow
Ji Won had a feeling that Min Sung knew he does a 360 in
his sleep. ‘But that’s impossible,’ he
thought to himself. ‘Only Mina knows that and why
didn’t Min Sung say anything about me kicking him?’
Ji Won didn’t know what was going on with Min Sung
but he knew he had to find out. We all got up and ready
to leave the room. The coast seemed clear so we walked out
unarmed. Big mistake. There was an ambush waiting for us.
“Disperse!” yelled Ji Won and we all ran our
separate ways.
Black Dragons chased after each one of us. I lost the Black
Dragon member that was chasing me but I didn’t want
to go back the hotel room without Ji Won so I turned back
to get him.
When I found Ji Won, he was backed up against the wall by
a Black Dragon. It was the leader, Tae Won. He was telling
Ji Won to bow down and beg for mercy but Ji Won ended up
spitting in his face. Tae Won got angry and pulled the knife
back to stab Ji Won in his throat.
I ran as fast as I could and knocked Tae Won down. He dropped
the knife and fell to the floor with me. As he fell, he
used the handled of the knife to knock Ji Won unconscious.
Tae Won got up glaring at me.
“Do you know whom you’re messing with?”
he asked me angrily.
I glared at him back unflinching. “I’ll make
you pay for hurting Ji Won.”
“Oh you must be the gay SechsKies member I’ve
heard so much about,” said Tae Won laughing. “You’re
afraid your faggot leader would die leaving you alone?”
That made me really angry. I didn’t care that he called
me gay but calling Ji Won a faggot ticked me off. Since
he was distracted, I grabbed the hand he was holding the
sword with, and made him stab himself. He cried out in shock
and pain. He pulled knife out of him.
Tae Won pushed me away and cuts me in the knee with his
knife. I fell down and saw him raise the knife above my
head. I was going to die.
Then suddenly a voice screamed out, “Gang Rape!”
It made Tae Won run off. I looked over to see who it was.
It was Kyung Hee screaming for the cops. I saw her looking
at me sighing and walked away. “Kyung Hee!”
I screamed for her.
Kyung Hee looked at me strangely as she approached me. “Do
I know you?”
I nodded my head and motioned for her to come near me. When
she did, I whispered in her ear, “It’s me, Mina.”
“Mina? But you’re a guy!” she yelled back
at me.
“Look at me closely.”
When she did, her eyes widened as she grabbed a hold of
me. “Mina, it is you!” I turned her back to
face me. “Please help me bring Ji Won back to the
hotel.” Kyung Hee made a face of disgust.
“What are you doing with the SechsKies leader and
why are you dressed like a guy?”
“I’ll explain later,” I told her. We both
put Ji Won’s arms around us as we carried him back.
Along the way we found Sung Hoon unconscious on the ground,
bleeding. I set Ji Won down gently and lifted Sung Hoon
up.
“Sung Hoon!” I said, shaking him. He was hurt
badly. “Kyung Hee, please do me a favor. You carry
Sung Hoon while I carry Ji Won.”
Kyung Hee looked at me reluctantly but then nodded. I lifted
Ji Won onto my back and carried him back to the Nam Hotel.
My leg was still bleeding from the cut and I was limping.
“Mina, can you carry him?” Kyung Hee asked me,
concerned.“I’ll be fine,” I answered her
as we made it back.
Part 28
I took Ji Won back to his room while Kyung Hee took Sung
Hoon back to his. I washed Ji Won’s cuts and nursed
his wounds. When he was bandaged, I sat down on the chair
next to his bed.
Then suddenly, I couldn’t breathe. One of my attacks
is coming on and I didn’t have my respirator with
me. My heart was aching so painfully that I was gasping
in pain. But then I remembered Ji Won had a respirator.
I searched his pockets and sure enough, there it was. I
started pumping it quickly and air entered my lungs.
My vision cleared and I began to breathe easier. Then I
put it back into his pocket. My touch made Ji Won stir.
He began to wake up. He looked at me.
“Min Sung?” he asked weakly.
I nodded my head. “Yes, it’s me hyung.”
Ji Won lifted himself up. “Where am I?”
“We’re back at our hotel.”
“Oh,” Ji Won said as he looked at my leg. “What
happened to your knee?”
I looked down at it. It was bleeding through my pants. “It’s
nothing hyung. I’ll be okay in a few days.”
“Did Tae Won do this to you?”
I nodded my head.
Ji Won pounded his fist on his desk. “Damn him! I’ll
get him back.”
“It’s okay hyung,” I said calming him
down.
“By the way,” he asked me suddenly, “how
did you end up finding me? Weren’t you supposed to
come back here by yourself?”
His question hit me by surprise. I answered him truthfully.
“I came back to look for you because I was worried
you might be in danger.” I saw Ji Won look at me awkwardly
and inched himself away from me. ‘He thinks I’m
gay’, I thought.
“Uh, thanks for coming back to save me then,”
Ji Won said to Min Sung awkwardly. Min Sung nodded and left
his room. Ji Won lets out a sigh. He loved Min Sung as a
friend and definitely nothing more. He didn’t want
Min Sung to have any thoughts.
Instinctively Ji Won reached into his pocket to check to
see if his respirator was still there. It was but it was
different. Ji Won stared at it with wide eyes. His once
filled respirator was now only half full with air.
Someone had been using it.
