Angel pov
To survive here in Busan is not easy, surviving as a single soul with no family, friend, and relatives was hard. I did different types of domestic job so I could pay my school fees at Busan art college and pay my rent. Do not misunderstood me, I have a families and relatives but no happiness. I got kidnapped several times by my parents enemies, God Knows who?, I had to run for my life, cut all ties with my family and live a lowly life. Thanks to the app and lesson I received I was able to learn how to speak and write in Korean language. It's wasn't easy but I scale through.
Walking by the road side going to work, I thought about my encounter with Mr Ethan (blush). After my encounter with him, I felt so relaxed and sad, I have a feelings that we will get to know each other better and have a feelings greater than friendship but will be destroy by something I can't place my hand on. What could it be?
A honk startled me that make me stop abruptly and brought me back from my thoughts, what the f**k!. I looked at the road and saw a white Lexus car with tilted glass,the glass roll down revealing someone familiar, at first I thought it was my parents enemies but it's the opposite.
hi, he said smiling, I took a close look at the face and it's ring a bell.
Ethan! I scream in my head.
Sir Ethan, I greet with a bow.
Ethan: how are you?(smiling)
Me: am fine sir, you?
Ethan: am fine, and please stop the formality.
I stare down at my feet blushing and he smile looking at the effects he has on me.
Ethan; where are you off to?
Me: on my way to work.
Ethan: work? You work?
Me: yes, I need to pay my second year tuition fee.
Ethan: where are your parents? Don't you live with them?.
I look down at my feet sad,how do I tell someone I have crush on that I live alone and my parents are into an unknown business and some dangerous people are on me.what should I tell him because I can't tell him the truth about myself.i gather some tears in my eyes ready to form a lie but he cut me off.
Ethan: its fine if you don't want to talk about it.
Me: phew! Thank you sir.
Ethan: it fine hop in let me drop you off.
I enter the car , I make use of the seat belt and he set in motion.
Ethan: where did you work again?
Me: I got a new job at Ann's restaurant at Incheon.
Ethan: okay cool.
Ethan POV
Am going to keep saying this, freedom is life, I felt alive , I can go out at will and come in whenever I want. I am proud to tell people my name, I no longer serve people but they serve me. Wow!( Smile) you know the feelings right.
I and Ae-cha met so many times at Busan art college, her dad put her in charge of the library I was constructing there to be his eyes. She work hand in hand with the school dean and am proud of her, and overall she is fun to be with.
I gave her my WeChat because I need to report things to her about work, and we have been chatting, having a matured conversation. Ae-cha is a very fragile person trying to act all strong and bully the weak, so she can feel she is strong which she is not.dhe is just a girl who seek attention and love that she could not get from her parent. She was raised by her Nanny and she doesn't know what it's feels like to be loved, they hardly have time for her and I pitied her, I think I have a soft spot for her(smile) . I was going to pick her up for our outing when I saw Angel.
After my conversation with angel, I felt Ae-cha is lonely but Angel is alone and lonely. I drop her at her work place, she step down bow and walk in, I was about turning to the road when Ae-cha called, I picked up.
Me: hey!
Ae-cha: hi, let change our location to Ann's restaurant.
Me: why?
Ae-cha: I heard that Angel will start work today there and I need to see her.
Me: Angel? Why and how did you know she work there?
Ae-cha: I got the job for her but unknown to her though.
Me: you got her the job? Why?
Ae-cha: I wanted to apologize to her.
Me: cool, almost at your place anyways.
Ae-cha: okay,be expecting you(call drop)
I turn into the road and went straight to Ae-cha house, she live not too far from the Ann's restaurant. I told you she is not a bad person (smile).
Eunji POV
Ian and I have been so close since the last time he apologize, I wanted to insult him or even cuss at him scream and express my feelings,my hatred towards him but I couldn't. When he mentioned his name the other day I felt everything, my hatred, my grudges,my acrimony,like every feelings flushed down from my heart like a flood that wash away all dirt. The door bell rang Lee and An-na walk in, An-na rush over and give me a hug.
An-na: hi, sis
Me: how are you my love(I hug her back)
An-na: I miss you Unni (she whine like a baby)
Me: I miss you more dear, glad you are back.
Lee: it's like am not visible because you didn't notice me( he dropped his bag on the couch and moue)
An-na: someone is jealous (laughing)
Me: I miss you too( he ran over and hug me)
Lee: I miss you sis.
Me: you are just gone for a week and you already acting like a baby.
Lee: I haven't spent a day out without you before sis, not to talk of a week.
Me: sorry dear, how is ur health and Incheon?
Lee: fun(smile).
An-na: acting like a baby (taking a sit at the dinning)
Lee: thank you ( sat down beside her and play with her cheek)
Me:(smile) I need to talk to you guys about something.
An-na& Lee: okay
Me: I have been talking to Ian for the past days now.
Lee: Ian?
An-na: who is Ian?
Lee: the bastard who bought our house.
An-na: oh! (Nod)
Lee: what did he want from us?(he sneer)
Me: he asked for our forgiveness.
Lee: and you forgive him?
Me: (looking down) yes
Lee: you forgive the guy who bought our house without a care of how we will survive?
Me: I can explain, Lee.
Lee: I don't care what your reasons her to forgive him.
An-na: calm down babe, you know Unni likes him.
Lee: what about my feelings , our parents feelings.
Me: let me explain why I forgive him.
Lee: you have know better reasons to forgive him than your feelings for him.
Me: that's not true.
Lee: then what's true? He chased you out of your parents house without a care of how you will survive, what if An-na hasn't showed up, we will probably be sleeping on the road. You forgive him without my knowledge and you both started having a friendly conversation,our parents will be rolling in there grave now, is the house your parents house or our parents house?.
An-na: calm down babe, hear her out first.
Lee: she has no other reason babe.
I look down and started crying, I should have told him about it, I shouldn't let my feelings get in the way, Lee was also hurt from all this problem he caused.
An-na: look at you Lee, look at the way you are acting and shouting on Unni, that disrespectful. Shouldn't she shout on you when you brought Hye Sun here, are you the only one hurt from what she did back then? Unni is also hurt, she broke your heart and Unni is the only one who stood by you and mend it and you still went ahead to bring her over without caring how she felt. You did not give Unni the chance to explain herself unlike you who didn't see any reason to still hold grudge at someone who hurt you and neglect you.
Lee hold his face and feel ashamed of his actions toward me and he had tears roll down his cheek.
Lee: noona am sorry,I didn't mean to be rude, I should have given you the chance to explain yourself.
I was about saying something when the door bell rang, An-na rush over to check it, I cleaned my face and Lee did same.
Lee: babe, who is that?.
