10/05/17, Saturday, 12.30 a.m.
The girl sat beside the glass window, staring into the darkness of the sky. She's basically laying her back on Totoro.
She already visited her mother in the morning. She bought some of her mother's favorite flowers, sunflower.
She glanced at her phone and grabbed it.
"Oppa"
Ding!
Mr. Totoro:
Yes angel?
"Can I ask something?"
Mr. Totoro:
What is it?
"But you need to be honest."
Mr. Totoro:
Okay, I will.
What is it?
"You...you're a mafia gang....aren't you?"
No reply.
Minhee turned to the giant plushie.
"Answer me."
Sternness heard from the tone.
Mr. Totoro:
Yes.
We're mafias.
"How many of you?"
Mr. Totoro:
12 in total.
Silence took over Minhee.
"When will we meet, oppa?"
Mr. Totoro:
Soon, Minhee.
Soon, we will meet.
Just wait a little longer, sweetheart.
Silence.
Behind that camera, a guy with black hair, sitting on a chair and looking at the monitor in front of him. Three more guys standing behind him. The monitor showed the view of Minhee's head. He waited for any response from the younger until
*Sniff*
The black haired guy widened his eyes. The view from the monitor showing Minhee slowly lifted her head and faced the camera.
Even from the dim living room, he could still see her face. Her eyes are teary and ready to burst. Her expression showing how heartbroken she felt.
"You won't leave me, right? You won't leave me, like Mama did. Right?"
And with that, she bursted into crying. Letting out soft sobs and whines.
"Hyung, she's crying!"
One of them said to the guy.
The guy quickly typed on his keyboard.
Mr. Totoro:
We won't, angel.
We won't leave you.
We will protect you.
Minhee read the message and started to stop sobbing.
"Really?"
Mr. Totoro:
Yes, sweetie.
Minhee chuckled and wiped her falling tears.
"Thank you....."
She spread her arms and wrapped around Totoro. She slowly brought herself down in the couch along with the plushie.
She hugged it tightly.
"I really want to meet you."
Slowly, she shuts her eyes and drifted to sleep.
Those four guys earlier could only watch their princess asleep.
One of them thought about it.
She's still there.
That helpless little 10 year old girl is still inside her heart.
