View MoreFear, worry, nervousness. They were rushing in. She couldn't go near the almost crushed cars, she's frightened.She rang her dad's number this time. It's ringing. She felt relieved. But he's not picking up the call.She gulped. The ambulance came. The siren was making her feel uneasy.When the police started to make the people distance from where the accident was, Mina could clearly see the two smashed cars from where she was standing.She abandoned her fear and made slow steps forward. Her body froze when her eyes spotted a familiar thing.Her trembling hands rang her mom's number. Her eyes were locked inside the car. The other line was ringing. But her world crumbled when the phone started to blink inside the taxi.Mina felt a tight squeeze around her heart. It's so heavy. Everything around her turned dark.She was still holding her phone, the other line kept ringing. Her eyes, that were only s
For the first time in my life, I felt like someone could finally hear me. That song spoke my unsaid feelings. It was a warm embrace in my cold heart. And that person became my comfort in life, my wife."Dan looked at her. Mina could see her mom's teary eyes. Their mom smiled at their dad. He waved at her.The crowd got deeply moved."That's so sweet!""He's very romantic!""What a beautiful story.""That's heart warming."Mina could hear voices at her back. JP looked at her and whispered. "That's our dad! Cool, isn't he?"Their dad continued talking to the audience."We all go through empty nights and days in our lives when we think that no one's there for us. We all get depressed when we see busy streets and feel like we're left behind because we don't know what to do in our life.But, I'm telling you as someone who has already gone through those rough times, there is always someone who can
Kian glared at her in disbelief. "That book.""Ah-- y..yeah.." A fake laughter from Mina.She wanted to slap her face for that foolishness. And because her tutor's strong presence beside her was making her feel so nervous, she put down the book and locked her phone."Teacher.. what you're thinking is not right, okay?""Why? What am I thinking then?" Kian didn't take his eyes off her.Mina tried hard to look calm but her eyes could not lie, they're avoiding her tutor's. "That.. I was trying to take a photo of you?""That came from you." Kian responded."Because you asked me!"Mina's raised voice startled those students who were near their table, eyes threw glances at them.Kian gave her a warning stare. Mina lowered her head and apologized to her tutor.Kian leaned his head a bit and whispered. "TMI. I have keen eyes. I may not be looking at you but I know w
Before handing the book to Mina, Kian unnoticeably put a tiny tracker inside the hardbound back cover.Kian used this book not to spy her but to protect her from danger. In The Reed Bookshop, at Liang St., at Gangsil, in the abandoned building and just now in The City Square."You're surprised, aren't you?" Mina leaned forward to examine her tutor's reaction."Let's use that." Kian said calmly, as if there's nothing in the back cover.Her proud smile faded. "Good job, Mina.. You should have said that. Is giving compliments hard for you to do, teacher?"Kian took his seat and snatched the book from Mina's hand. "I'm not good in complimenting people. But I always make sure to make up for it."A sudden change on her face, it's glowing again. "So, to make up for not complimenting me for always bringing that book, give me a reward."She leaned more to give her tutor a very intent look, her eyes
"Miss, one more please!""What a beautiful voice!""Your song is healing."Mina could hear praises. 'Oh no! Did they hear me sing? Was it too loud? All I know is I sang quietly.'In front of her were a few people who just heard Mina's sweet voice. Some were sitting on the grass, some were standing.'Are they waiting for me to sing again?' She was flustered.Mina forced a smile. "Umm, I actually don--""Can you sing again, miss?" One guy requested.Because the crowd kept asking her to sing again, Mina decided to play one more song."Hey!!!" An old man shouted as he's walking to where Mina was.She looked at him, confused. She put down her guitar and asked him why."Let's go to the community service center." He told Mina, looking so serious."Community service center?" Mina was still confused."Miss. Don't you know that buskers ar
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday just passed. Kian never showed up on these days. According to Ms. Kim, he asked for a few days leave due to his school work which he needed to finish.'Did he really finish his school work? Or his side job as a gangster? Here I am again, thinking weird things about him. Whatever it is, it's his life. I should mind mine.' Mina thought.The bus stopped, she got off.'I feel great!' Mina's heart was jumping in delight while walking to one of her favorite places.The weather was nice. But it felt nicer that she brought her guitar.It's still early but The City Square was already full of people. The arc that welcomed her to the town center was beautifully decorated with colorful spring flowers. Small fountains along the center made this place a lot cooler as their mists mingled with the spring air.Fancy shops were scattered everywhere. Food stalls were at every corner of the town
It's Jay.Bruises, blood on his face. He's not wearing his school uniform. That bad boy impression when she met him at Hannan Street was completely gone. In her eyes, he looked like a pathetic trash now. She shook her head.Kian kneeled down beside Jay who was lying on the ground. He looked at him with his eyes like laser guns."How could you force Aron to call Mina again? And that was right after I beat you to death? You must have become a lot braver. What did I tell you last time? I can talk to Jessie anytime and convince her to sue you for harassing and trying to drug her. I also talked to other students and they are willing to speak up against you. Is bullying a joke to you???" Kian's rage thundered.Now, everyone looked convinced that Jay deserved to get beaten up."S--s--sir. I w--will s--sto--p now. Re--really. P--please l--let me g--go." Jay begged.Her tutor grabbed his arm then looked at him. "Be sure of t
Mina felt like she was in an intense rollercoaster ride the entire day.Her brother called her. That voice made her miss him more.She encountered another dangerous situation but her tutor showed up again to help her. His sweet embrace, that was such a beautiful danger.And because of her tutor again, she just gained friends. She felt bad for ignoring and not giving Yuri and Dani a chance to explain themselves. They had always tried to apologize and be friends with her, but her hate towards them blinded her.All this time, her tutor had been protecting her. Even though she still wanted to know why he suspiciously met Pil at Gangsil, how he suddenly showed up at Liang St., and why Pil got beaten up in the old building, she convinced and would keep convincing herself to stop getting involved anymore.With her thoughts on her tutor, that beautiful melody suddenly played in her head again.She got the notebook. Thos
No gunshot yet, but the silence was killing her.Without any warning, two hands covered her ears.BAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNG! That deafening gunshot filled the building.Heavy dust dispersed into the air as the big guy aimed his gun at the piled up sacks near the window.A few seconds passed, a man's voice spoke. "You're lucky. Kian forgave you."'Kian? My tutor?' Her eyes were still closed.Hearing her tutor's name gave her a troubled mind. Though she knew she was safe in her tutor's embrace, she could not open her eyes for one unavoidable reason. She's not ready to know who her tutor was. That he was also like them, that he could also do what that big man did to Pil, that he could also beat others to death.'That he can k..kill?'-------------The silence between them was making Mina feel suffocated. Her tutor was driving her home.When Mina had already
