SHE BENT ME

Right or Wrong

"Uncle Jeon. Why? Why?" Jennie asked Mr. Jeon while still sobbing.

"J-Jennie?" Min-a said. Jennie's eyes widened when she saw Min-a tied up and a bloody man beside her.

"Min-a unnie!" Jennie yelled and rushed towards her.

"What are you doing here? A kid shouldn't be here," Min-a said with her calm voice.

"Wipe your tears, I almost didn't recognize you because you cried a lot," Min-a added and let out a chuckle but her eyes are filled with fear and sadness.

"Unnie. I'm sorry." Jennie cried. "I'm sorry," she cupped her hands to Min-a and the lady translator just smiled but her tears are falling.

"You know her?" Mr. Jeon asked Jennie. She nodded and wiped Min-a's tears.

Jennie immediately pulled Mr. Jeon's arm, pleading him to let them out.

"Please uncl-- Mr. Jeon, please let them out. Please please please I beg you. I won't tell dad, no one will know," Jennie pleaded with tears still streaming on her face.

"Jennie. I'm doing this for you. I am training you for the real world. This is the real world, Jennie. Deal with it," Mr. Jeon said angrily to the pleading kid.

Seung-Gi chuckled. "Bullshit. For her? You're just doing it for M-O-N-E-Y,"

Mr. Jeon pulled out his gun and shot Seung-Gi in the head without hesitation. Min-a and Jennie flinched from the sound of the gunshot.

Seung-Gi is lying on the floor, lifeless.

Min-a screamed for her boyfriend's name and cried while Jennie gawked and left appalled or horrified from what she saw.

"Take him away," Mr. Jeon said to his men and they did what he ordered them to do.

Min-a screamed in pain of losing the love of her life. Seung-Gi's blood touched her forehead as she lay close to where he died.

"See, Jennie? It's not like you see this every day. I am quite busy sometimes," Mr. Jeon said while wiping his gun and fixing his tie. He smiled at Jennie and pat her head. Jennie is still not moving, still horrified by what she witnessed.

"Is the kid in my room?" Mr. Jeon asked one of his men.

"Yes, boss. She's awake," the man said.

"Bring her to me," Mr. Jeon ordered and one of his men obliged.

He sat on his chair and sip a bottle of whiskey.

"What are you going to do with Pranpriya!?" Min-a screamed.

"You devil! You killed him! You promised! You promised to save him when I will bring Pranpriya," she yelled.

"You're so noisy! Do you want to follow your boyfriend?" Mr. Jeon said sarcastically.

"Don't touch her and just kill me! Kill me in exchange for her life. Spare her! Don't touch the kid!" Min-a yelled. Jennie still frozen and she seems out of this world.

"Shh... I will really kill you because you have no use to me," Mr. Jeon threatened Min-a.

"Boss. The kid is here. I taped her mouth. She's so noisy and I don't understand her," the man said to his boss and put Pranpriya down.

Mr. Jeon pulled the tape off Pranpriya's mouth.

"Beautiful kid. Such a beautiful kid. What should I do with you?" Mr. Jeon said while looking at Pranpriya.

"Tie her up but not that tight. The kid is skinny we might break her bones," Mr. Jeon laughed wickedly and his men obliged.

A man tied Pranpriya's arms and legs and she kicked him but her strength is not enough for a man to fall. The man just laughed at her.

"Don't lose your strength by trying to fight me," the man said while tying the little Thai girl.

Pranpriya didn't cry, she stared angrily at the people in the dim room. She saw Jennie standing and just staring at the pool of blood on the floor.

"Jennie!" Pranpriya called-out Jennie but still, she's not listening, standing like a statue with a horrified face.

"Pranpriya," Min-a said which took the attention of the little Thai.

"Pee Sao! You have blood! What happened to you, Pee Sao?" Pranpiya asked, still tied but trying to crawl unto Min-a.

Min-a is holding herself from bursting into tears. "Please stay strong, Pranpiya. Whatever happens, find your way to survive, okay?" Min-a said in Thai.

"Ey! What are you talking about? Don't speak alien," Mr. Jeon growled.

"Even this? Do you want to know? She just wants to say that you're a piece of shit!" Min-a spat at the floor and glared at Mr. Jeon.

Mr. Jeon is about to pull his gun from his pocket but Jennie stopped him.

"Uncle. Don't. She can be of use later," Jennie said in a serious tone. For a 7-yr.old kid, Jennie was smart. She looked at Min-a with a slight smile.

Mr. Jeon calmed and pat Jennie's head. "You're starting to get what I taught you. Good job,"

"Also, I suggest that you don't tie Pranpriya. Just put her in the room. You have plans with her, right?" Jennie said to Mr. Jeon. 

"How can I be sure that you're not deceiving me? Cause dear, if you do. You know your dad and mom are going to be in trouble." Mr. Jeon reminded little Jennie of what might happen if she will betray him.

"No, uncle Jeon. My mom and dad are more important to me than anyone else," Jennie said.

"You rascal! You're putting rubbish on a child's head!" Min-a yelled angrily at Mr. Jeon.

"Uncle. Just untie Pranpriya and give water to Min-a unnie. That's my only request to you," Jennie said in a plain tone of voice.

"Fine. FIne. If you insist," Mr. Jeon said and asked his men to untie the little Thai and offered water to Min-a.

The men put a straw in the bottled water and let Min-a sip but she refused so the man just placed the water beside her, near to Seung-Gi's blood.

"Why me uncle?" Jennie asked out of the blue. "Why not Kookie? When he's your son," she added.

"Ohh. Smart. Well, you're the only heiress and I just wanted to train you early while you're still young. Business isn't always clean, Jen. You'll learn when you grow up, also, I don't want my son getting involved with things like this," Mr. Jeon said.

"That's nonsense! Don't listen to him, Jennie. He's crazy," Min-a said to Jennie.

Mr. Jeon covered Jennie's ears. "Shhh. Don't listen to that lady. She's full of bad words,"

Mr. Jeon headed out and the only people left in the room are two of his men, Min-A, and Jennie.

"Min-a unnie, I'm sorry," Jennie apologized to Min-a.

As Jennie is about to step out of the room, Min-a called her out.

"Do the right thing, okay?" Min-a said and gave Jennie a warm smile despite being tied up.
