Chapter 2: Bomul Buseo
2 months passed in a blur...
One minute she was recovering in the hospital, the next she was being dragged to the police station, after that to the court only to be sentenced to life in prison and finally.
Sitting embarrassed in front of her other half, separated by a wall of glass.
"I guess I won't be there to accompany you to the skies..."
"Don't say that. I know that you were framed."
"I have heard that phrase so many times....'You are the nametag Murderer' that I have started to believe it...Maybe I shouldn't have reached for the skies..."
"Dreaming and working truthfully for that dream can never be a sin. Don't stop believing in yourself...Do you want to play a game?"
"A game?...We only have a few minutes left...."
"That is enough time:)"
"What game do you want to play?"
"Bomul Buseo"
Bomul Buseo was a game that they created when they were in middle school. It was to help with their detective skills.
The game was simple, One person would leave clues around the house (kind of like treasure hunt) and the other person would try to find the item before a certain time. For every minute that you spend over the given time, you have to give the person a treat.
Hoyeon chuckled.
"How am I supposed to play from inside of here?"
"Simple, give me all of the clues that you know and for every month that I spend after 7 years...You can take an item from me."
"S-soyeon"
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course I do...I just can't risk you getting hurt...The outside world isn't as pretty as I thought"
"That is because you went out expecting to see pretty. If you go out with both pretty and ugly. you can't be disappointed."
"Be careful my other brain cell"
"Take care of yourself and...Wait for me"
"I-i'm not going anywhere"
Hoyeon rose her shackled wrist.
A bitter smile was forced onto her lips to reassure her sister.
It was at times like this that they wished that they could be in each others arms.
Stupid big glass wall!
.
.
Helplessness...
This was worse than death itself.
The feeling of not being able to do anything when your heart tells you to fight. When you have to watch your sister being tormented and accused of something that you only saw in movies, Helplessness.
As Soyeon exited the facility ,Her eyes lingered on a handful of relatives of the victims of the Nametag murder. All of them were stationed outside.
They wanted Hoyeon dead-
"SHE SHOULD PAY WITH HER LIFE!"
"I AM NOT PAYING TAXES TO FEED THE MOUTH OF A MURDERER!"
"GIVE HER THE D*ATH PENALTY!"
"BRING MY HARA BACK!"
The were bitterly pouring their hearts out to closed ears.
Soyeon wanted so badly to run up to them and shout
'MY SISTER IS NOT THE KILLER! INFACT THE KILLER IS STILL ON THE LOOSE-'
That would not end well, Plus she might be shredded to pieces if she hinted to any connections with Hoyeon .
Mindlessly walking, Soyeon ended up in an abandoned playground.
The area was very busy and filled with kids but...no one used it since it did not look as new as the playground 1 block away.
Luckily, it was not uprooted yet.
This small area was filled with numerous memories....
"Soyeon!"
"What?"
"Do you know that if you kiss a frog then you will turn into royalty?"
"That story is crap! Like, where is the logic? In the beginning Tiana kissed the frog and was turned into a frog because she was not a princess... Then in the end they kissed again and became human because she kissed a prince....No logic.."
"Well smarty pants, if you stopped being grumpy and actually finished watch it then you would know the reason that they turned into human was because they were married! "
"oh-"
"Such a party pooper"
"Sorry"
"You're good"
.
.
Soyeon slowly strode to the sand pit.
"Hoyeon, we should bury a capsule here"
"But what if the other kids dug it up?"
"You're right!"
"We have to find a safe place for our treasures"
"Let up come back to it when we are 20....By then we should have our own houses and OMG a dog!!!"
"Yes! We have to work really hard...Ok?"
"Of course!"
.
.
Who would have thought that these two would be separated under these circumstances?....
After sulking on the swings, Soyeon decided to begin her work.
"Did you meet with your sister?"
"Yes, she is fine"
"That is good, I-I have something for you"
"What?"
"A note that your mother left all of those years ago..."
"Mother left a note?!"
At least something good happened....
"Come with me."
Madam Su was patting the back of a fed infant.
Soyeon followed Ms. Su up to her office and sat in the couch.
Madam rummaged around in her folders until she found a red pouch.
"Here you go"
"Do you know what is inside?"
"no my dear. That is for you find out...If only your sister were here to do it with you.."
"She will be out..I guarantee it!"
Shakily, Soyeon pulled the brown piece of paper out of the envelope.
My dear Hoyeon and Soyeon...
Mom is sorry for having to abandon you. For pulling you into the hardships of this world and leaving you to fend for yourselves. Mother made the decision for the good of you two though. If I were to leave you in the family, much harm would be brought to you. I might be shameless in your eyes but, it was for the best. Women are mistreated here... I couldn't bring myself to torment my girls like that.
Forgive me.
That was it..
She had officially reached her lowest...
"W-What did she say?"
Soyeon handed the letter to Madam Su.
.
.
"Oh my..."
"Mother is a coward!"
"What?"
"If she really loved us then she would give up that family ! They only reason that she would not give it up is if they could take away something from her or she wanted something from them!"
"Don't be so hard on-"
"I am going to my room...Goodnight"
Soyeon had never thrown a temper...Never!
Luckily Madam Su did not hold it against her...
This poor child was glued to her sister her entire life...Being separated abruptly was sure to cause chaos in her mind.
"We should give her some time"
Ms. Su cooed to the restless baby in her arms.
.
.
Why was the world so complicated?
Why did it have to push the struggling into a pile sh*t?!
It was at this very moment that a flame broke loose in herself.
She was going to truthfully get Hoyeon out of prison, and repay everyone that F*cked up her life, tenfold!!!
Who gave them the permission to mess with the Su twins?
