Chapter 10

F.F.S.S & Hye Ran's Past

Fuu looked up and saw Soo Nam, Ferio looked where she was looking. Fuu started to cry tears of hatred and she stood up holding her broken hand. And she ran towards her. She stopped right in front of her and Soo Nam looked down in guilt.

"Fuu, I'm deeply sorry, I just realized, that… that I'm better than this." Soo Nam said as tears fell to the ground. Fuu's heart rate went down and she hugged Soo Nam.

"I know, it's okay… Just a few minutes ago, I wanted to slap you, but your words are sincere and believable. Soo Nam hugged her; she was amazed at how forgivable she was.

"I'm so sorry Fuu!" Soo Nam yelled once again as she let go. Fuu smiled at her, and Soo Nam smiled as well.

"Let's be friends, let's forget about the past and move on." Fuu suggested as she held out a welcoming hand. Soo Nam looked at it, and she put her palm on hers.

"Ok." Soo Nam said happily as she hugged her. Sano was watching and he smiled in happiness. Finally after many months, he never saw Fuu so relieved, and truly happy. Ferio ran up to him.

"Sano, I owe you so much." Ferio said. Sano looked confused, he hasn't done anything for Ferio.

"What do you mean?"

"You took care of Fuu so well while I was away, and I am forever in your debt, thank you so much." He said as he gave Sano a manly hug.

"Isn't this great, we're all friends now." Fuu said as she through her hands up and spun around like a little kid and kissed Ferio on the cheek. Everyone laughed, except for Soo Nam. She still had something hiding, but she was afraid Ferio would never forgive him.

Sano, Fuu, Ferio and Soo Nam agreed to go with Fuu to a clinic. Soo Nam was strangely quiet, which Ferio was surprised about. Soo Nam was looking down at the ground and kicking rocks forward. Ferio looked curious. When they got to the clinic Ferio and Fuu went in. And Ferio had to leave because they didn't let anyone else in for examination. He sat next to Soo Nam while Sano went to get sodas for them. Soo Nam wouldn't look at him, she just stared down at the floor kicking her feet.

"What's wrong Soo Nam?" Ferio asked. Soo Nam looked at him in tears.

"I'm sorry Ferio…" Soo Nam said as she hugged him. Ferio was puzzled, but decided to hug her, he never seen Soo Nam cry like this. She was bursting in tears. "Please don't be mad at me." Soo Nam pleaded. Ferio laughed.

"What're you talking about?"

Soo Nam breathed in deeply. "When I first met you at that party, it was all a plan, to get your money…" Soo Nam started. "My mother… my mother and I intended on meeting you that day we weren't that rich as you and your family. The plan was too seduce you when we got here, and you would get me pregnant. So then we would have to get married and my mother and I would be happy. And get rid of anyone who was in the way…" Ferio then thought of Fuu. "I'm sorry Ferio, I hope you can forgive me. I now know what loving someone is like. The magic you feel at the first sight of them. It was like that when I met Sano. And if I were Fuu I would be devastated if anyone broke us up. Please Ferio, if you have the strength in your heart, please forgive me. I don't want to be bad anymore!" Soo Nam hugged him tight. Ferio new what she was going through, and he thought she really meant the things she was saying. He hugged her, "I'm not mad at you Soo Nam, I'll still be your friend…" He said as he let go of her. Soo Nam's face became happy.

"Really? Oh this is great Ferio, all four of us can be the best of friends!" Soo Nam cheered with a real and happy smile. Ferio smiled and they hugged again.

"But Soo Nam, how are we supposed to tell your mother?" Ferio suddenly asked, and Soo Nam became unhappy again and let go. She looked down. "I guess I'm just going to have to tell her.

Fuu came out with a cast on her hand. Soo Nam ran up to her in tears and hugged her again.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Fuu, what did the doctor say?" Soo Nam asked anxiously hoping her hand would heal. Fuu Laughed at how worried Soo Nam was.

"Don't worry, Soo Nam. The doctor said it would be fine in 4 months." Fuu answered with a smile trying to make Soo Nam feel better. Soo Nam let out a breath of relaxation blowing her bangs out of eyes. Fuu told Sano and Ferio the news and they were all relieved for Fuu. And they all had a group hug and laughed in happiness.

"How about we call our little group F4!" Sano suggested jokingly. The all laughed as the walked back to the Sano & Fuu's hotel.

"Seriously Sano, how about something original?" Fuu said.

Soo Nam lit up and suggested, "How about F.F.S.S!" They all thought about it and thought it was catchy.

"It's all the first letters in our name!" Sano said, "Smart & Catchy."

"But it also stands for Friends Forever Since Saturday." Soo Nam added. The other three laughed.

"Today's Tuesday." Ferio informed Soo am and they all laughed again. Soo Nam crossed her arms like a little spoiled brat.

"Well it's the only thing I could think of…"

After they dropped Sano and Fuu of at their hotel Ferio and Soo Nam got back to the hotel, they took the elevator to the top floor. Soo Nam went into a daze and there was an awkward silence. Soo Nam finally broke the silence with a risky sentence.

"I'm going to tell my mother the plan is off." Soo Nam said and Ferio's eyes widened with a worrisome expression on his face.

"I'll go with you!" Ferio insisted. But Soo Nam stopped him.

"No Ferio, this is between my mother and me." Soo Nam said as she walked outside the elevator. Ferio followed behind her and they stopped at Soo Nam's room.

"Come right to my room after Soo Nam." Ferio said sternly.

"Don't worry about me." Soo Nam said as she slid the card key and went into the room.

Went Soo Nam walked into the room her mother was waiting for her sipping tea.

"So, Soo Nam, how did it go?" Hye Ran said eagerly getting up and walking up to her. Soo Nam looked uncomfortable and couldn't look at her mother.

"Soo Nam, what's wrong?" Soo Nam took a deep breath.

"Um… Mother, I can't do this anymore." Soo Nam finally spat it out, but still didn't look at her mother in her eyes. Hye Ran's eyes widened and she then had the cold fists that Sano and Ferio once had.

"What do you mean?" Hye Ran said slowly, trying to swallow the fact her daughter had gave up on the plan. Soo Nam walked behind her and looked out the window, the warm sunshine comforted her.

"Mom, I fell in love today, and I realized that, if someone got in the way of our relationship, I would cry my eyes out. That's why I'm giving up…" Soo Nam said as she turned around and finally looked at her mother. Hye Ran didn't speak, it was an emotional silence, as Soo Nam broke into tears and fell to her knees.

"I'm sorry if I disappointed you mother, please forgive me!" Soo Nam begged bowing her head to show respect. But all Hye Ran did was walk up to Soo Nam and she stared down at her, with the most hate and disappointment in her eyes and expression. She reached her hand out and grabbed her hair. Soo Nam screeched in pain as Hye Ran lifted her up. Soo Nam started crying even more. Hye Ran was just staring at her, and she slapped her face as hard as she could and Soo Nam fell to the floor.

"How can I call you my daughter?" Hye Ran yelled as she walked out the room. Soo Nam held her cheek as she cried loudly. And when Hye Ran shut the door she ran to the door struggling to get out. But Hye Ran was holding the door.

"Mother, please… I'm sorry, let me go, I need to be with Sano!" Soo Nam cried banging on the door. And Hye Ran swiftly turned her head to the door as if Soo Nam was standing right in front of her. The only thing standing between a daughter and her mother was a single door. That could lead to a loving and happy relationship with the simplicity of a talk.

Suddenly, a door from the end of the hall slammed and out came Ferio running.

"Hye Ran, let her go!" Ferio pleaded as he took a breath from running all the way to their door.

"Why should I listen to a young boy like you?" Hye Ran cruelly asked.

"Because, she's in love!" Ferio yelled and Hye Ran was startled, it was actually true. Her hand was shaking on the doorknob and Soo Nam could here Ferio.

"Ferio, is that you?" Soo Nam yelled crying and banging on the door.

"Maybe it is something you will never feel, Hye Ran." Ferio said calming down. And Hye Ran went into a rage and slapped his face.

"You think I haven't been in love Ferio? Who do you think is the father of Soo Nam?" Hye Ran yelled in a rage with tears rolling down her face. Ferio couldn't say anything and just listened to Hye Ran.

"I fell in love with her father and he got me pregnant! I wanted to have a normal teenage life too. I wanted to go to homecoming, and I wanted to go to prom, but I was at home taking care of my daughter!" Soo Nam fell to the ground and stopped banging on the door. Her mother had never told her this before.

"Her father left me the second her found out he had a child. He left for America; I had nothing but me to support my daughter. I had dishonored my family and they kicked me out of the house…" Hye Ran opened the door and hugged her daughter.

"Mom, I'm sorry…" Soo Nam cried once again.

"It's okay, we don't have to do this anymore, let's just go home…" Hye Ran said as she lifted her daughter up.

"Wait mom, I want to go somewhere with my friends.

"Ferio, let's go out tonight with Fuu and Sano." Soo Nam suggested wiping her tears. Ferio agreed. And after Soo Nam cleaned herself they went out that night and had lots of fun. Finally after long and lonely months they were all happy.

"Cheers to the F.F.S.S you guys!" Sano announced as they were all laughing.

"CHEERS!" The all said as they clanked their glasses of beer, while Fuu had a Virgin Shirley Temple.
