MEMOIRS

CHAPTER - 20 : GRATITUDE

Meanwhile Bo Young,

She thought: "Sigh, I hope today ends soon. Think about it, many things happened in just three weeks of me in South Korea. I don't think three weeks is enough to talk about it. I felt many emotions, met new people, created new memories. Somehow I feel that, upcoming days will be interesting." "Welcome!" She continued with her work. The hour passed. "Those guys didn't come today, whatever let's just get home." She said. "Welcome!" She said as she heard the door open and looked at. "Hey." Hyun Wook said as he was the one who entered the store. "Hey sunbae. Continue with your work, I will get going now." She said as she took her belongings. "Bo Young," He said. She stopped and looked at him waiting for him to complete his sentence. "Can you stay for a while?" He asked. "Hmm?" She asked being confused. "I mean, I have something to talk to you." He said. His ears turned red. "Ok sure." She said. "Let's go outside." He said. She nodded and followed him while smiling shyly. He didn't notice that. They sat on the bench. "Oh, Wait a minute." He said and rushed back inside. "Where...- He is fast." She said. He came back with two soft drink cans in his hand. She thought: "It's the same as the other day, anyways he is gonna say that it's for him. Don't expect so much from him." "Here." He said while handing out one of the soft drink. "What...is it?" She asked. "This is for you, here, take it." He said. "Oh..really?" She said hesitantly and got the can. "Thank you." She said. "What did you want to talk about, sunbae?" Bo Young asked as she took a sip of the soft drink. "Ah, right. Thanks for reminding. I actually taught Soo Ki a good lesson. You don't have to worry about it anymore. And, if she keeps troubling you again, tell me, I will take care of that brat." He said. "Its alright sunbae, she was just petty. She will learn her lessons too. So......is this what you wanted to talk about??" She asked. He shook his head. "Thank you. I want to tell thank you." He said, looking at her in the eye and smiling. She started to blush. To prevent him from noticing that she drank another sip of it. "Why...out of the blue??" She asked being flustered. "You know, somehow what you told reached my mom and dad and telling you that made me really relieved and I can actually tell what happened later too, and that makes me feel happy." He said. "Aaah, you mean, 'they should have did something in return for what you have done'?" She asked being unsure. "Ohhh, you remember." He said. "How did they return?" She asked being curious. "Mom, hugged me and gave me food." He said. "Ohh, that's it? I thought she did something big." She said being disappointed. "No, that hug was actually different. I could tell how she felt too. She felt happy, proud of me and that hug was out of pure love and affection. That was totally unexpected too. And before you told me to eat, my mother already told the maids in my house to prepare food for me. I could tell, she felt so satisfied. Plus, she has never done anything like that to me. She never talked to me properly because she was only immersed in business." He said unable to control his happiness and smile. "That's amazing and sweet. What about your dad??" She asked. "He went to abroad for a business meeting regarding the recent promotions, he sent me a video message, stating 'Our son Hyun Wook, you worked really hard and now the business sales are going really up, all because of you. We feel so proud to say that you are our son. I love you and thank you so much for what you have done, I promise that I will give something bigger than just a video message when I come back. I love you, oh no, we love you so much, our son!!' from his heart. I didn't want any other present bigger than that." He said smiling widely. "Woah, that's awesome, you must feel so happy. Are you sure that they have never shown this kinda affection to you?" She asked. "Yeah, they have always smiled and said they loved me but this was special. And its all thanks to you." He said again. "Haha, well..umm..its not like I had something to do with it, they just did what they should do, y'know, show their children love and affection. That's all that we want, some parents don't do it nor some aren't there to do it." She said but mumbled the last line. "I couldn't get it." He said as he couldn't understand what she told at last. "Its nothing. But, you must feel really happy now." She said. "Yeah, very happy." He said smiling widely. "Woah, your smiling widely now, its my first time seeing you smiling." She said. "Oh, really? Its just that, I feel special and happy." He said. "Lucky you." She said as she was looking at the soft drink can. There was silence in between them for a while. As she had her last sip, she got up from the table taking all her belongings in her hand. "You're leaving already??" he asked. "Yeah, I have to walk. Take care sunbae. Bye." She said and started leaving. "Wait a minute!" he said. She stopped and turned back to look at him. "I don't feel satisfied." He said. "What?" She asked. "Its that, I feel that, this thanking you wasn't enough." He said. "Well, you don't have to thank me. And I actually don't deserve the gratitude, you just wanted to tell me what was in your mind and you even said that just because of the situation, the real person you should thank is no one, even not your parents, they just did what they should do. Its alright." She said. "But, I don't feel good enough...so.." he hesitated. She was waiting for him to complete his sentence. "Are you free tomorrow evening?" he asked. She was totally flustered. "What do you mean?" she asked being really flustered. "I mean, we can hang out tomorrow." He said shyly. She blushed halfway. "Yeah sure, I won't have any plans too and it sounds fun." She said. "Yeah, it will be fun. I promise." He said. "Alright, alright. Text me the details later sunbae. I will leave now, bye!" She said and started leaving. He waved.

She thought: "WOW, JUST WOW. That was totally unexpected. How is he like that? He looks like a stone outside but acts like a child when he is happy. And he even wants to hang out with me, *blush* stop getting flustered Bo Young. He just wants to hang out because he isn't feeling enough with his gratitude. He just wants to thank you in a different way. Don't get too much of thoughts. He just want to hang out as friend, but wait does he even see me as a friend, never mind, he just wants to hang out as you are someone he knows. That is it." She thinks as she shakes her head to distract herself. She reached her home soon. She sat down on her couch knowing that she will go shower soon. "Woah, now that was a long day. I was totally packed today. And tomorrow I'm going to meet up with sunbae. Should I tell the girls? Well, lets tell them if they ask me about tomorrow's plans though. But, they are already making fun of me. They are already doubtful, so if I say that he wants me to hang out tomorrow with him, they will totally think in the wrong way. Never mind." She said and took out her phone and was scrolling through the recent call list to call Seul Hee but got distracted by another number. Which was the "threat call?" "Woah, I totally forgot about this call. Sorry, Mr.Threatcaller, I forgot your existence. I don't who this man is but, I feel totally frustrated because of him. Who does he think he is to talk to me like that?" She said. She then chatted with Ji Ae and Yu Ah. "Sorry for being late to tell, but I reached my home. Where are you guys now?" She texted.

"I just left the hospital now. My dad will send a car right now." Yu Ah said.

"We stay in the hospital during weekends." Ji Ae said.

"Ohh Okay. Alright, good night. Get home safely Yu Ah. Take care Ji Ae. Bye." She texted and kept her phone aside.

"I should eat now. Will eat and then sleep." She said. Soon, she ate and then went to bed. "I'm tired, I hope I will fall asleep faster today." She said as she closed her eyes to sleep. She slept sooner than she thought. At that moment, she heard a knock at the door. The knocking got louder enough, to wake up her. "Tch, the doorbell is present there, but why do they knock the door? And who is here at this hour?" She said being half asleep and went to the door monitor. She saw a person who's face wasn't clear, all she saw was a black face with no eyes, no nose and nothing. She thought it was a person because she was half asleep. She then opened the door. "Who are you?" She asked. "You wench, are you living a happy life? *looks around the apartment* well, seems like it though. Are you living a happy life after ruining ours??!" The person yelled. She thought: "The same voice from the call." He wore a long brown jacket with a black vest and pant. "Who are you? Get out! What are you doing?! Don't come in here!" She yelled. That person didn't listen to her and took out a gun from the jacket. She just went backwards. The person came towards her, pointing the gun towards her. "Since, you ruined our life and are living happily, how about I ruin your life and we live happily? Go meet your mom today, Bad bye!!" He said and pulled the trigger. "NO!!!".....
