Chapter 2


Yi Jeong woke up and stretched his arms as he stumbled downstairs. He walked into the kitchen to see his mother packing their things into cardboard boxes.

"Omma….what are you doing?" He asked taking the clothes from her hands and placed them back to where they belong.

"We are moving to Seoul with your uncle." She said in a stiff voice grabbing the clothes he took from her. "Help your sister and pack everything in your room."

Yi Jeong couldn't believe what was coming out of his mother's mouth. He watched as she packed everything in the kitchen. Their plates, cups, towels….everything.

"You can't be serious….." He uttered.

SeoHyun looked at her son seriously. "Does it look like I'm joking…" She stated, continuing with the packing.

"So that's it….huh?" He yelled. "You are going to leave this place for what reasons…I'm tired of running away!"

SeoHyun paused. "Do you ever think twice about me or your sister, huh? You're tired of running." She scoffed. "You don't know what tired is…..I have already packed everything in here so help your sister."

"Don't we get a say?" He uttered walking away.

"Everyone's ready?"

"Ah Hyun Soo….you're here." SeoHyun said carrying a box toward him. He instantly helped her.

"Uh…Noona, I was shock that I would hear from you again. You don't know how happy I am that you had accepted my offer."

She stopped and looked at him. "I need a change of pace. I think it would be much better for the kids to experience a new scene…especially him." She glanced to where Yi Jeong was.

Yi Jeong was quieter than usual as he helped In-Young with her luggage. In Young looked at her brother as he packed the clothes with the silverwares. She sighed. "Oppa, you're supposed to separate them into different boxes. Omma wants all the silverwares in this box while the clothes go to this box." She motioned toward the boxes with her hands.

Yi Jeong just shrugged his shoulders and reached to an empty box and began to throw things in.

"Oppa!" In Young uttered as she was beginning to get irritated with her brother. "Just go away….I'll finish this." She pushed him away and continued with the packing.

Yi Jeong just scoffed and walked away. He grabbed his black hoodie and stepped outside. He walked passed his mother and uncle as they were loading boxes into the Hyun Soo's truck.

"Where are you going?" Seohyun called out to her son.

Yi Jeong didn't answer her and continued to walk away.


In Seoul:

She was watching her Sunbae, a very handsome fellow playing the piano. She listened carefully as he hits every key perfectly until at the very end when his fingers slipped. She noticed immediately. It startled her. She composed herself and glanced over to the judges.

He was playing the piano version of Big Bang latest song "Let me hear your Voice" as a female student sang. They were a perfect match, both in looks and talents. Everyone thought so except for this girl.

As his partner finished singing, everyone clapped. The girl moved toward him as he entered backstage. She congratulated quietly.

"Ah, you're here." He smiled to her as he turned around from a group of classmates.

She flushed a light pick color as he smiled. His smiles made every girl in their school go crazy.

"Sunbae, you played very….um beautifully." She uttered, looking down, embarrassed to what she just said to him.

"Oh thanks. I supposed I could have done better, my fingers slipped at the very end." He said lightly.

"Well…." She was at a loss of words.

"Good luck to you." He said charmingly in his own way.

"Huh?"

His eyes swayed toward hers and she froze. She felt weird. "I said good luck, aren't you going to perform next…."

"Yes…I am. Thank you Sunbae…I wanted to as…." She felt like an idiot as she stammered her words but that wasn't as worse as someone walked toward them and interrupted.

"Ji Hoo Oppa, Teacher Min wants to talk to you." His partner said as she entwined her arms with his. He wasn't startled by her presence and ignored her. He didn't even flinch when she moved her arms into his.

"Well then I'll be going. Good luck on your performance, Jan Di-ah." He smiled at her as he walked away, leaving his partner behind. The girl huffed at Jan Di and walked off as if she wasn't blow off by one of the school hottest guys.

Jan Di didn't let her spoil her mood. She smiled happily as she remembered Ji Hoo wishing her luck. She squealed happily and went on stage.

"Hello, my name is Geum Jan Di and I will be singing Without a Word". Jan Di said smiling as she begins. The stage lights shined down at her and everyone began to settle down and listened to her. Some were surprised while others were cheering her on.

Ji Hoo watched from backstage and smiled lightly. His partner sneered at her performance to Ji Hoo but as usual he ignored her and listened with amazement. He knew she would steal the show.


Yi Jeong was silent throughout the whole drive to Seoul. He ignored his mother's comments to him and ignored the small talks that his uncle tried on him. The only person he didn't ignore was his sister who was humming her favorite song, Gee by SNSD.

She hummed louder when the song began to play on the radio. Yi Jeong looked out his window and watched the streetlights blend together into a stream of rainbows.

It was beginning to become darker and the sun began to descend down. Yi Jeong watched the sun disappeared before his eyes. It was as if his old life was disappearing from him. He closed his eyes and wished that he can go back in his old room, where he belonged.


Jan Di searched for Ji Hoo as she walked off the stage. She peeked through all her classmates as they congratulated her on her performance. She bowed her thanks and walked further to the end where she ran into her best friend, Chu Ga-Eul.

"Ga-Eul…" She called to her friend. Ga-Eul smiled and hugged Jan Di as she congratulated.

"Jan Di, you were amazing." She said happily.

"Oh thanks…." Jan Di's eyes were somewhere else as she searched for Ji Hoo. "Have you seen Ji Hoo Sunbae?" She asked.

Ga-Eul glanced around and shook her head. "No…"

Jan Di sighed with sadness. "Oh well…I guess I'll see him tomorrow then. So what are we going to do after this is over?"

Ga-Eul thought about it and said. "Oh…I can't I promise Ahjussi that I'll see him today."

"Really? Can you cancel or something? I don't want to stay here all alone…" Jan Di began to pout to her.

"Sorry but I can't….I didn't go yesterday and today is my only free day before break starts." She explained.

Jan Di sighed. "Fine…leave me with these people and have fun with that man. I'm sure you need all the fun you can get out of him, stubborn callous old fart."

"Sorry…" She said remorsefully as she placed her hands together and pleaded her apology. "I'll buy you all the ramen you want, okay." She said as she left the room.

"You better!" Jan Di shouted to her. People stared at her and she glared at them. "What?" She uttered as she went to find some people.


"This is the place…" Hyun Soo said as they walked to a gate. "You have to stay at my house for awhile. The renter of the apartment I got for you can't leave just yet bear with it for a couple of days."

He opened the gate and he escorted them to the front door. The house was largely big and spacious. He opened the front steel door and turned on the light.

The living room was bright and white. It was an open space room with detail patterns sofas and chairs. A plasma screen was hanging on the left side in front of the couch. Beside that was a small fireplace.

"Omo…" Seohyun said as she dropped her luggage on the marble floor. In Young gaped at all the things that were in her uncle's living room. She has never seen so many things in one room before.

Yi Jeong took off his hood from his head and unplugged his headphones and looked around.

SeoHyun looked at Hyun Soo. "Are you sure that we can stay here? I don't feel comfortable interrupting your life…"

"No…you are not interrupting my life. Frankly speaking, I don't have a life. These used to belong to my father before he passed away. "So you don't have to worry…"

"Ahjussi…" In Young said, glancing at all the pretty vases that were displayed in a glass case that was beside the kitchen door. "Are these your father as well?"

"Ah…" He beamed with delight. "These, In Young belonged to my mother. She made them with her bare hands." Hyun Soo began to tell In Young all about his mother and her famous vases.

Yi Jeong walked over to his left and he saw something that caught his eyes. It was a glass stone that have letters engraved on it. There was written, a family's crest. Below it were eleven letters, it spelled out: The So Family. Under beneath those letters was a saying. Be courteous, Be strong, Be a So

Yi Jeong looked at it. He wanted to laugh. "Be a So." He scoffed.

"Uh…Yi Jeong, would you come with me for a second?" Hyun Soo asked.

Yi Jeong stared at him and didn't reply back. Hyun Soo cleared his throat and grunted. "Uh…come with me. I want to show you something.

Hyun Soo walked away toward the back, not looking to see if Yi Jeong would follow. He knew he would.

Yi Jeong thought for a minute before deciding to follow his uncle.

His uncle waited for him in the garage. The garage was spacious as well, too spacious for a garage. There was only one actual car in the garage that wasn't Hyun Soo's trunk. It was a sliver Honda Civic.

Yi Jeong looked around, wondering why his uncle was showing him this room.

"So…I talked to your mother and she didn't agree to this but I think this would suit you more than anyone else."

What is he talking about? Yi Jeong thought, looking at his uncle pulling a white sheet. Yi Jeong beamed up. That is the….

"This used to be my baby. I cherished this so much….and now I want you to have it." He threw the keys to Yi Jeong.

Yi Jeong grasped onto the keys. He couldn't believe that he was giving that away, especially to him. He smirked a little but cast it away before his uncle saw it.

"Is this some bribe?" Yi Jeong said.

"What…? What make you think that? No…this is my present for all the birthdays I missed out. If you don't believe me, I even bought In Young something too."

"I'm not easily bribe as my sister so I don't need this." He threw the keys back to Hyun Soo and walked out.

Hyun Soo watched as the door slam shut. "I wasn't bribing you." He muttered as he walked out as well.


"Okay, In Young your room is on the left side and Yi Jeong, yours is on the right." Hyun Soo stated giving them a key to each room. "They're locked so you'll need these."

Yi Jeong walked upstairs beside his giggling sister. She was singing Gee quietly to herself but as she hits the third verse, hell broke loose.

Yi Jeong turned to her and glared at her to shut up. She ignored him of course and sang louder. He opened his door.

"Oh…Oppa, your room is big." In Young said as she stuck her head under his arm. Yi Jeong widens the door and walked toward his bed and dropped his bag. In Young fell the moment Yi Jeong left her at the door. A "ah" sound shrieked from her.

Yi Jeong didn't pay any attention to her as he examined the room. There was already a laptop on the desk. There were already books and worksheets that were stack beside the laptop.

"For a guy that said he wasn't expecting us…sure go to the trouble to buy these stuffs." Yi Jeong muttered as he proceeded along.

"Oppa…" In Young called from the door.

"What?"

"Omma said it was time to eat." She said, leaving the room.

Yi Jeong touched with his fingers tips along the edges of the books and stared at his new room. He sighed. He muttered something as closed the door and retreated downstairs.

When he arrived downstairs In Young was prancing in the living room, wearing a school uniform. She spun around showing it off to everyone.

He slowly walked toward them but stopped. In Young thanked her uncle and hugged him happily. SeoHyun smiled and glanced over to see Yi Jeong by the staircases.

She excused herself and walked over toward him. "Your uncle bought your uniforms." She said.

"Oh really…." Yi Jeong said callously.

"Yours should be in your room. Why don't you try it on to see it fit?" she smiled.

Yi Jeong shrugged her advice and moved toward the dining room where a bowl of rice and some side dishes of kimchi and sardines were placed. He sat down and picked up his chopsticks. He glanced over to where his uncle and sister was sitting and then glanced down to his bowl of rice. He stuffed the rice and kimchi into his mouth and began to chew. His mother sat beside him and began to put small piece of sardines in this bowl.

"Eat…" she commanded him. "In Young, you'll eat too."

"Yes." In Young responded, walking over to her seat beside Yi Jeong. She scooted into her seat and grabbed a pair of chopsticks. Hyun Soo sat beside SeoHyun and handed her some chickens.

Yi Jeong watched his mother and sister fall into his uncle's hands. What's his deal? Yi Jeong thought as he drank some of his water. His family was actually behaving like a family with this guy that Yi Jeong hadn't seen since he was five years old. Yi Jeong didn't feel that it was right to be so civil with someone that was related to his father.

He set down his chopsticks loudly and everyone's eyes were on him. Yi Jeong pushed his chair out and walked away.

SeoHyun looked at her. "Where do you think you are going?" She asked.

Yi Jeong looked at her, "Can't I go out? It's not like I am a prisoner or anything?" He walked off toward the garage door.

SeoHyun sighed and decided she cannot win against her teenage son.

Hyun Soo looked at her. "Don't worry Noona. He just need some think to himself and then he will come back to normal."

"Ahjussi, Oppa is always like that since the day he was born. You can't change him. Me and Omma tried dozens of times but he still coldhearted." In-Young stated.


Yi Jeong pulled the white sheet that covered the motorcycle. He opened the drawer that his uncle left the keys in. He scrambled his hand inside and searched for the keys. When he finally found the keys, he starts it, making a vroom sound.

He blasted out of the driveway, heading nowhere. He stopped at the lights. He doesn't know the city too well, so he doesn't know what places to go. He drove over to a video store and parked near the sidewalk. He took off his helmet and placed in on the motorcycle.

That's where he spotted her. She was carrying at least two bags in both arms and was holding two middle size boxes. She wobbled her way toward the lights. The lights were green, so she began to walk but then out of nowhere a flash of lights came toward her. She wasn't paying attention so she didn't notice but Yi Jeong did.

A car was coming toward this girl and without thinking Yi Jeong rushed toward her and swung her toward him, dropping her things. He pulled her away and during the progress they both fell on the ground. The car drove by, running over her bags and boxes.


Can you guess who this mysterious girl that Yi Jeong just saved?
