001 "i will be back"

On a fine spring day, the children were all playing on the grounds of Hope orphanage. Laughter from the kids could be heard and the nuns were busy preparing the food for them as it is almost lunchtime.

 On a little swing, a girl is holding her small purple teddy bear. She is staring at the door of the orphanage giant gate hoping that the one she has been waiting for will arrive! 

''Sunny, let us go inside and eat'' mother su says as she approaches Sunny. 

Sunny looks at mother su with tearful eyes! the tears she has been holding now want to get out of her eyes.

Mother Su hurriedly hugs  Sunny as she taps her back gently. 

''Sunny, let us go inside so you can eat hmm? you're been like this for six weeks already, and it is not good for your health! you know you just got out of the hospital.  you are not feeling that well hmm?' mother su says as she comforts sunny.

Sunny suddenly burst into tears crying her heart out she hug mother su very tightly.

''Yes that's it, that's it just cry, cry until your heart calms down. don't hold it in because it will just hurt you more.''

''mother where did he go?''

''is he even coming back?'' 

''Why did he leave me here alone?'' sunny continuously ask mother su between her sobs.

''I didn't know where he goes or what he has been doing but I only know one thing that he will never leave you here alone. And I'm still here your not alone okay.'' mother su says trying to comfort her.

''look at me sunny'' mother su place her hands in Sunny's cheeks as she wipes away her tears but it still rolls down over and over again. 

''You know that he cares for you so much right?'' mother su asks.

Sunny nodded trying to control her tears.

''Then you must know better than anyone that he will never let you live here alone. right?'' 

Sunny nodded and this time her tears stop falling, She looks back at the gate ''mother Su I know that Jin, will come back I trust him. He will come back'' Sunny tries to reassure herself. ''Let us go now mother Su''  sunny force a smile and started to walk inside.

Mother Su's heartaches as she sees sunny, She didn't know what had happened to Jin but the last time she sees him was when Sunny was in the hospital. 

Mother su didn't know where Sunny and Jin  came from, a year ago it was raining heavily and someone was banging the orphanage's gate as the doorbell keeps ringing that Mother Su has no choice but to open the door where there is Sunny and Jin

Jin was piggybacking Sunny as soon as he sees mother Su, He begs her to help them because sunny is burning with a fever and blood where all over her forehead, It was raining heavily and the blood was all over their clothes! Mother Su hurriedly help the two kids! 

 since that day Mother Su let them live in the orphanage but Jin is such a mature kid he clearly tells mother Su that they will live there but he will be one doing the job so that they won't be a burden and that Jin says that he will never allow if they were to be adopted because once he reaches the right age he will take care of Sunny.

It was the first time that mother Su saw such a determined eye from an eleven-year-old kid thus, she said yes.

From then on mother Su saw how Jin cared so much for sunny, Sunny is only 8 years old while Jin is twelve. 

when they eat Jin would always gives his meat portions off to sunny not minding if he only eats a little as long as Sunny is happy. 

Seven weeks ago Sunny and Jin is cleaning in the orphanage, she and Jin always do the cleaning together because they want to help the nuns to keep the place clean. When suddenly sunny fell down the flor completely unconscious.

The doctor said she needed a second surgery because there is something on her head and it needed to be removed before anything happens. Sunny has already had undergo surgery when they first came into the hope orphanage! and now she needed it again. 

But when sunny woke up after the surgery  Jin is nowhere to be seen!

Mother Su didn't really know what had happened to Jin, But she is sure that it has something to do with the money he gave to mother Su.

 Hope orphanage is just a small orphanage they only rely on the money that their sponsors give to them so when Sunny was hospitalized they don't have enough money for sunny's operation they barely manage to survive every day due to the number of children in the orphanage!

thus Jin, said that they don't have to worry about the money because he will do something about it. Jin has been working in the capital of the city. He will leave the orphanage at 6 a.m and come home at 4 p.m He said that he is working at a factory but whenever mother Su tried to visit him in his work they always said that visitors are not allowed during work hours. 

Mother Su is been worried about what work he might be doing. And one day she tried to wait for Jin at the entrance of the said factory but when she saw Jin. He looks very tired and he just passes by mother Su as if she was not there,

but the truth is Jin walks as if his soul had been out of his body. He didn't notice mother Su at all!

 His cold sweat dripping down heavily! mother Su did not call him out instead she followed him and when they arrived at the gate of the orphanage Jin stops as if he just found himself noticing that he's been sweating he wipe his sweats as well as fixing his hair. he didn't even notice that mother Su was following him. Forcing a smile he opens the door of the gate. 

Mother Su wondered what work could it be that makes him very weak and out of himself she decided to talk to him about it but Jin  denied everything and refused to talk.

He just said they don't have to worry about anything because he will take care of the money. But mother Su can't help but worry!

Ever since that day he gave the money to mother Su, he just disappears like a bubble! mother Su even went to the place where he works but it was already closed down. 

Mother Su didn't want Sunny to worry because she is not fully recovered from the surgery so she didn't tell her what was happening.

''Mother, let us go inside'' Sunny comes back to call mother Su. 

''Oh alright, let's head in.'' keeping the thoughts in the back of her mind mother Su went inside with sunny.

....

At the tree nearby in the orphanage, a boy was hiding as he stares at the girl who is about to disappear in his sight. 

''I'm so sorry I have to leave you'' he whispers in his self, his eyes full of loneliness and helplessness. He had sneak in at the back in the orphanage just to steal a glance at her for the last time.

''I will be back to keep my promise to you''  he whispers in himself before leaving...
