Yong In climbed up the stairs and opened the door to the rooftop. She closed it back and sat down at a corner. She looked up the sky. Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked at it. 'Mom'. She picked it up.
On the phone call:
Yong In: Hello, mom?
??? : Hello, may I speak with Ms. Kim?
Yong In: It's me talking. Who is this? Why do you have my mom's phone?
Her eyes was bawled off and her hand shaken until her phone drop. Then, she picked the phone back and quickly went down to her class. She quickly packed up her things.
"Hey, please tell the teacher that I took a leave. I got something urgent to do." She told her deskmate without looking and left the class. Water quickly poured out of her eyes and she didn't look at the way she's walking at all until she bumped into someone.
" I'm sorry. "She bowed without looking up at the person. She was about to leave but the person stopped her. She looked up frustrated but she was shock instead.
" Sis... Why are you crying? " She's fighting with her inner side and finally she gave up.
" Sung Ki... I... I'm afraid..." Sung Ki was confused so he held his sister's shoulder concernly.
"Tell me, what happened? What are you afraid of?"
"I... I don't know how to explain. Can you come with me?" Suddenly, his phone rang. She accidentally peeped and saw 'Ji Mi'.
"I guess someone needs you." She left just like that. Sung Ki hang up the call and pulled her hand.
"I'll go with you." Yong In looked at him with puffy look and he took her hand in his hand.
"Let's go." They left the school together while holding hands. As they arrived in front of Yong In's house, they saw police cars and even the yellow tape surrounding her house blocking people to enter. Sung Ki was confused since he didn't know what happened while Yong In slowly went towards the house but she was blocked.
"She lives in this house." Sung Ki told the police who blocked them and he let them go inside. Yong In felt like her soul already left her body as she walking into her house. Sung Ki followed her from the back. There were lying both of Yong In's parents lifeless on the floor. Finally, Yong In cried her eyes out. Sung Ki was shocked to see the scene too and he pulled her sister into his chest. Yong In embraced him tightly while crying hardly.
~~~~~~
Both of them were waiting for the funeral process of her parents. There was a robbery at Yong In's house and made both of her parents killed. Police said that it was just a normal robbery without any grudge or motive. Autopsy result also shown that both of them struggled to fight back before they were stabbed by the robbers. Police also managed to catch the culprit.
~~~~~~
A car stopped in front of them. Sung Ki help his sister to get in the car. Along these times, Yong In haven't said any words. Sung Ki was worried about her. After few minutes of driving, they arrived. Sung Ki helped her got out of the car too.
"Yong In... My condolences for your lost." Mr. Lee welcomed them in front of the door. Yong In, as usual didn't have any reaction.
"Dad, I'll bring her to rest first."
"Ah, that's good. Go now. Let her stay at your room first, okay? I'll ask a maid to clean up the guest room later." Sung Ki nodded and held her sister went upstairs to his room. He laid her down on the bed and put a blanket on her.
"Have a sleep first. You look pale. Later, I'll bring some food for you." He left the room to the kitchen. He requested the chef to cook some porridge for her.
~~~~~
Mr. Lee walked down with Sung Ki after Yong In went to bed. Mrs. Lee was watching television in the living room. Both father and son sat down in the living room too.
"It seems like she has become the queen of the house, huh? Everyone prioritised her and have full eyes on her." Mrs. Lee said sarcastically.
"Shh, what are you talking about? What if she heard you? I beg you to be kind. That kid just lost her parents." Mrs. Lee rolled her eyes and went upstairs to her room.
"Ignore her. I'll talk to her later." Sung Ki nodded.
~~~~~~
She woke up to a dark place. She looked around and can't see a thing. Then, she saw a woman walking past her.
"Mom?" She called and the woman turned to look at her and smiled. Then, the woman walked away. She followed her while looking around. It seems like she was in a building where only her and the woman were in there. Suddenly, she saw a boy in front of her. The boy looked at her with a loving face. But, she decided to continue following the woman.
"Sis!" The boy called her. She ignored it but suddenly the boy pulled her hand and brought her into his arms.
Yong In woke up and sat down in an instant.
"Sis, you're okay? You're sweating a lot." She quickly hugged him.
"Don't leave me, please..." Sung Ki hugged her back and caressed her hair.
"I won't." Yong In buried her face in his chest.
~~~~~~
"She still refuse to go out?" Sung Ki nodded.
"It's okay. Give her time." Mr. Lee patted his son's shoulder.
~~~~~~
Yong In looked out of the window when her phone rang. She looked at it with no expression and picked it up.
