"Kyuri, where did you go?" My mother asks me hysterically when I return home.
"I went to see a friend." I grin at her. "I am sorry for making you worry."
"Silly girl." She shakes her head in anger. "Don't wander on your own."
"Yes, yes." I hug her lightly. "I won't wander like this again."
On the couch, my father clicks his tongue when he hears me. His mood is bad. I don't have to take a guess why. I sit beside him and says, "Father, you aren't mad at me, are you?."
He ignores me. That's a wrong question to ask. The silence between us become longer. My mother notices this and leaves us alone. She understands that he and I have to talk.
My father glances at me steadily. "Tell me the truth, Kyuri. What happened to you?"
I can't hide much from his eyes. He knows me well. I think that it's the right time to tell. I don't get into details or the things that I suffered. I hide about Li Jun and Kang Si An. I hide the most information. My father listens to me quietly.
