Episode 5 : The Family Conflict

RECAP:

When I get out of the cafe, I see Jhope outside the cafe, looking at me intensely. He looks different. He never visited me when I was at the hospital.

"What are u doing here?"

"Who is he?"

Both of us ask at the same time.

"Are u following me?" I asks him.

He rubs the back of his neck, "Well... I came to the hospital earlier but the nurse said u are already discharged from the hospital. Then I saw u walking so I kinda... follow u."

"So why are u following me?"

"I... I dunno. I just follow my heart & it says to follow u."

I blink, "But why?"

He seems hesitate a little but said it anyway, "I... I like u, Miyeon. Not as friends but as lovers."

I continue to blink at him, "W-what... S-since when?"

"Since the first time I saw u on the first day of school. I thought it's just a small crush but after what u did to my family, my feelings start to grow..."

"I... I..." I really dunno what to say. I don't know Jhope has feelings for me. But I can feel something warm from my stomach.

Then I heard the cafe's door open, revealing Jun.

"Hey, Miyeon! U forgot ur phone!"

I see Jhope looks at Jun with a hard face. What's wrong with him?

"Who are u?" Jhope asks Jun coldly.

Jun smirks, "Oh? I'm Wen Jun Hui, Miyeon's boyfriend. You?"

☆☆☆☆☆

A/n: Sorry if it's lame. I'm kinda in rush right now.

WARNING: It's sooo long (For me. Idk about u guys) & full of angst (sorry not sorry, @winterloner)

Miyeon's POV

I look at Jun in disbelief. What the heck is he saying?! I look at Jhope to see his sad face. Somehow I feel like I want to tell Jhope the truth so badly. But before I can do that, a voice interrupts me.

"What's going on here?"

The three of us look at the source of the voice to see Suga. What is he doing here?!?

"Oh? Another guy? Yeonnie, why aren't u telling me u friends with so many guys? U are making me jealous." Jun said.

I just bit my lower lip. This guy... When will he learn to control his playful side??

Suga raises his eyebrow at us.

"Jhope, what are u doing here? I thought u said u have something important to do?" Suga asks.

"I-I... I already take care of the things... I gotta go now." Jhope said weakly as he starts to walk.

I really want to chase him & tell him the truth but with Suga's demanding stare & Jun's playful side, I know I can't.

"So what are u doing here, Miyeon? With this guy?" Suga asks.

"Didn't she tell u? I'm her boyfriend, Wen Jun Hui." He said as he slings an arm around me.

This guy, really. He just doesn't know when to stop... Ok then, feel my wrath. I pinch his side, hard.

"Ouch!! Miyeon, that hurts!" Jun pouts as he release himself from me.

"Serves u right for lying!" I glare at him.

I then turn towards Suga, "Don't believe what this troll said. He is not my boyfriend, just a childhood friend."

Suga nods then he introduces himself, "Hello I'm Min Yoongi but u can call me Suga."

"Min Yoongi u said?" Jun asks him back.

"Yeah. What's wrong with my name?"

"Nothing. U have a nice name."

Suga said thanks at Jun & then turns to me,  "It seems to me that u are just about to go home after meeting ur childhood friend. So please do cuz u are just out of the hospital. Take care of ur health & see u on Monday at school, okay?"

I nod. He smiles & ruffles my hair before walk away.

After he is no longer in my sight, I look at Jun, giving him a knowing look, "Spill."

"Okay, u got me. Let me walk u home as I talk about it."

"...okay."

We start to walk to my house.

"So what is it? U did not just think he has a nice name, right?"

"Bingo. While I investigate about Lee Mihyun, I found out the Jungs & the Mins are best friends."

"The Mins as in--"

"Yes, it's Suga's parents. But sadly, the Mins disappear for unknown reason along with their daughter & the Jung's eldest daughter that is Jhope's fraternal twin. Sorry for not telling u earlier. I thought it's doesn't have to do with u so I just ignore it."

I nod, "It's weird. Why are they suddenly disappear?"

"I will investigate this matter."

"Okay, but please don't miss out anything even if it just minor details."

"Roger that."

As soon as we reach my house, we bid each other goodbye. When I open the door, I am surprise by hugs from Mr Kim & Mrs Kim.

"Mr Kim, Mrs Kim, u guys are back?" I ask them as soon they release the hug.

30 minutes earlier...

Da Jung's POV

Today I don't have anything to do. Miyeon is already out of the hospital & she said she can go home by herself so I'm not going to the hospital. My friends are busy with their lives. Jungkook is busy too. So I guess I just chill at home today.

I am watching TV & eating some snacks when I heard the door opens. Maybe it's Miyeon--

"Oh Da Jung, what are u doing here?" I turn to the familiar voice to see my father.

I blink, "Um... this is my home so..."

"Why aren't u at the hospital, taking care of Miyeon?" Mom said as she looks at me with a stern look.

Oh.

"Well... today is her discharged day so I don't need to take care of her."

"Oh, so where is she?" Father asks.

"Out."

"What? Why??" Mom asks.

"She said she has to meet someone & she can take care of herself."

"And why don't u follow her too?" Mom said.

"But she said she can take care of herself..."

"Still u have to take care of her. She is still weak. She can't just walk around Seoul freely. What if her wounds are open??" Mom gasps.

"Honey, calm down. Miyeon is a strong girl so she wouldn't get reckless like that." Father said.

I just stand there as I watch father calms mom down. At this times, I start to think negatively.

Then the door opens again & Miyeon comes in. They quickly hug her & she just blinks. The ironic thing is they hug Miyeon, their adopted daughter when they come back from their trip while me, their real daughter? Just a greeting & they ask about Miyeon. See the OBVIOUS difference?

"Mr Kim, Mrs Kim, u guys are back?" Miyeon asks my parents.

"Yes, sweetie. We are back early to check on u. I heard ur wounds at the stomach nearly kill u. What happened?"

Then Miyeon tells them about Jiyeon & Jhope's family. How she 'save' them. Bla bla bla...

"Oh, that's wonderful, Miyeon! U are so brave to fight the abusive man." Mom praises her.

"It's nothing, Mrs Kim. I just do what I can to save my friends." She said.

"But u are still amazing! Da Jung, u should be like Miyeon. Not only she's smart but also brave, kind & humble!" Mom said.

"But Mrs Kim, Da Jung has her own unique traits too. She's talented in singing, nice & caring." Miyeon said suddenly.

"So what? Being brilliant is the most important to survive in this world!"

That's it. My break point.

"Am I really ur real daughter?"

"What?"

"Of course u are our real daughter, Da Jung ah." Father said.

"Really? I find it's hard to believe that cuz I feel like I'm the adopted one."

"What are u saying, Da Jung?" Mom asks. I can see she is angry.

"U always treat Miyeon better than me. U also take her side when we have some arguments, especially u, mom. U always takes Miyeon's side. U always concern more about Miyeon than me! When I rained my ankle during sport's day last year do u shorten ur work to see me? No! But when Miyeon, ur adopted daughter got hurt u come back!"

"Da Jung, stop this!"

"No! I'm done with all of these! It's so unfair by how u treat me & Miyeon! I can see the OBVIOUS difference by how u treat us! Just because she's smarter than me, u love her more!"

"KIM DA JUNG!!"

"I hate u, mom! I hate father! AND I HATE U, LEE MIYEON! GET OUT OF MY LIFE! U MAKE ME SICK! U ARE JUST AN ATTENTION SEEKER! I HOPE MY PARENTS DID NOT MET U FOR THE ADOPTION!" I stop talking cuz it's hard to breath when u shout.

From my blurry eyes, I can see my parents look at me in shock. And Miyeon... She smiles at me?!

"I dunno u feel that way towards me, Da Jung ah. Now I understand why u always cold to me. I didn't mean to grab ur parent's attention from u. I don't even accept them as my parents. I just can't, without knowing what happened to my real parents. I'm sorry for what I have done to u all these years. After this, I won't disturb u guys anymore." She bows 90 degree towards me, mom & father.

She then go upstairs. My mom follows her.

"MIYEON! WHAT ARE U DOING?!" My mom's voice can be heard from the downstairs.

Then I see Miyeon walks downstairs with a luggage??

"Miyeon, please don't do this!" I can see my mom chasing her with tears flowing down her face.

Miyeon just smiles sadly at my parents, "Mr Kim, Mrs Kim, I'm sorry for burdening u all these years. I'm very grateful when u have me as ur daughter. But I think it's time for saying goodbye."

"Please, Miyeon! U can't leave us! How can I live without my daughter! U are like my own daughter, Miyeon!" Mom said as she is weakly clutch my father for support.

"Miyeon, please don't leave us. Maybe for a few days, yes but not forever." Father looks at Miyeon desperately.

Miyeon sighs softly, "I will be visiting my orphanage for the weekend. I will be back on Monday. Blood is thicker than water. I hope u will learn to appreciate Da Jung while I'm gone."

Then she gets out of the house. Father places mom on the sofa. Mom looks so weak & her face is pale.

Now I feel guilty.

"U should have know better, Da Jung." Father suddenly said.

I just keep silent.

"Do u want to know why we treat her so nice?" Father continues to say.

I look up at him, wanting to know the answer.

"It's because we feel pity for her. She doesn't have anyone with her when she's only 5 years old. She also get sick easily cuz she has a weak immune system cuz weeks of being homeless in a cold, snowy weather. We just want her to feel loved & appreciated. We want to replace her parents & become the parents that she always wants. But from what I see, when we praise her, she will always praise u back, Da Jung. Remember when u were lost when u were 15? She won't eat or sleep until we found u. Even after that she still thinks about u first. She was the one who found u at the forest. U were unconscious that time. She sternly said to treat u first even when she's the one whom hurt badly cuz of carrying u all the way to the hospital."

What? But... but I thought the one whom carry me that time was mother?...

Now I'm truly regret my actions. What have I done?

☆☆☆☆☆

The next day, when I walk downstairs I see the house is empty. I see a note on the fridge.

'Da Jung, we are really sorry about this but we have to go on another business trip this morning. I have already make ur            breakfast in the oven. Just heat it up. We will be back on Monday. I hope u will apologize to Miyeon before Monday.                               
                                                                       ~Love, mom & father~ '

Great. Just another lonely day.

☆☆☆☆☆

I'm busy doing my homework when I got a message from Jiyeon.

From: Jung Jiyeon
       Da Jung ah, can me & the others come to ur house today? I'm super bored at home that I feel like I can die out of boredom. @_@

I reply, 'Sure.'

From: Jung Jiyeon
        Thanks, chingu ah~ U save my life from boredom!~ Now u better prepare urself with snacks & drinks cuz we will empty ur fridge! >_<

I just chuckle at her reply.

☆☆☆☆☆

An hour later, I already finish my homework & preparing snacks when the doorbell rings. I open the door to see all of my friends. I invite them in. We are chatting & catch up a bit. I then excuse myself to get more snacks.

"Where's Miyeon unnie?"

Jiyeon's question makes me stop moving. Everyone looks at me.

"I dunno." I reply coldly, before continue walking to the kitchen.

When I get back, the girls are silently watching television. I'm really glad that they didn't question me any further about Miyeon. Except this one girl.

"Da Jung, is unnie still sleeping?"

"If yes, can I go to her room? I want to surprise her."

"Da Jung, answer me~~"

"WHAT?!" I shout when Jiyeon keeps on pestering me about Miyeon.

"I... Where's Miyeon unnie?"

"SHE LEFT OKAY! SHE LEFT US CUZ I ASK HER TO GO! WHY DO U ALWAYS ASK FOR HER? CAN'T U SEE THAT SHE'S NOT HERE??" I shout at her, without meaning to.

I gasps & slap my mouth with my hand. I really regret to shout at Jiyeon cuz she doesn't do anything wrong... But it's too late anyway. Jiyeon starts to run to the bathroom but I can still hear her cries.

The others look at me weirdly.

Hye Ra, my best friend glares at me, "What's wrong with u? U make Jiyeon cry & she doesn't even do anything wrong. She just wants to know where her favourite unnie is."

Her remarks hurts my heart even more cuz my own best friend said that. I slowly step back & runs out of my own house.

Miyeon's POV

I slept at a sauna yesterday. Early in the morning, I took the train to the village where my orphanage is. After two hours riding the train, I finally reach the village. I slowly walk to my destination.

After 15 minutes walking, I finally reach the building of my orphanage. I take a deep breath before walks in the building. Inside, I see a bunch of kids running happily while a boy chase them. I smile cuz I miss the feeling of being here. Then, I see an old woman patting a girl's head. She's Mrs Lee.

"Mrs Lee..." I said softly, feeling my eyes starting to water.

She turns around to see me, "Miyeon ah...."

She smiles & give me a motherly hug. I close my eyes & let my tears fall as I hug her.

☆☆☆☆☆

We are now in Mrs Lee's office. I drink the tea she makes for me.

"How are u, Miyeon?"

"I'm fine, Mrs Lee. Thank u for recommending me to the Kims to adopt me. I feel so grateful because u help me make my life better."

She smiles warmly.

"I'm glad u have a better life. Do u still investigate about ur real parents?"

"Yes. But I still don't have any clue about my real parents."

Mrs Lee takes my hand, "Miyeon, I have something that I didn't tell u."

"What is it, Mrs Lee?"

"Do u know why I named u as Lee Miyeon?"

"Why, Mrs Lee? I thought u just name me after u."

She shakes her head, "That's half the truth. But the truth is the man that brought u here asked me to name u as Miyeon. I just add my family name in front of it."

"Who is this man?"

"I dunno. I didn't see him after that."

So I need to find this man. Maybe he knows me.

"Mrs Lee, can u describe this man?"

"He is tall, has fair complexion, wears a suit & looks like a rich guy, oh he has a big scar at the palm of his left hand."

"Thank u for this information, Mrs Lee. I'm really grateful with this information."

"U are welcome, my dear."

Then my phone rings. It's Jiyeon.

"I'm sorry, Mrs Lee but I have to take this call."

"Please do. I can feel it's important."

So I answer the phone.

"Hello, Jiyeon?"

"Unnie, wherever u are please come home." I can hear her cries.

"What's wrong, Jiyeon?" I start to panic. Does they know about me leaving for a while?

"Da Jung is missing! She ran out of the house for 3 hours now. We are still searching for her."

"What?! What about her parents?"

"They already went to another business trip early in the morning. They don't know anything about this."

"Good, please don't tell them. They will be more worried about it. Please keep on searching for her. I'll be there after two hours."

"Two hours?! Unnie, where are u?!"

"I'm out of the town. I'll be there as soon as I can. We'll meet there. Please keep on searching for her."

"Okay, unnie. Have a save trip back home!"

I hang up.

"What is it, Miyeon?"

"I'm sorry, Mrs Lee but I have to go."

"Already?"

"Yes, there is some matters that I need to solve."

"Go then, my child. U better solve the problems in ur life & live happily."

"Thanks, Mrs Lee."

☆☆☆☆☆

Jungkook's POV

"Do u found her?" I asks the hyungs when we meet again after hours of searching for Da Jung.

All of them shake their heads.

"Why are u so panic anyway?" Jimin asks.

"How can u not panic when ur own girlfriend is missing??"

"Girlfriend??" All of my hyungs look at me with shock faces.

"Yes, Da Jung is my girlfriend. I'll tell u guys the story later. Now let's find Da Jung."

☆☆☆☆☆

I jog slowly around a park.

'Kim Da Jung, where are u??'

I look around the park but Da Jung is not there.

'Think, Jungkook. Think! If I am Da Jung, where would go? Wait! That place! How could I not remember that special place??'

I rush to the place we went on our second place, Da Jung's place. The hill. And guess what? I was right cuz I see a figure that resemble Da Jung. She buries her face on her knees as she continues to cry. I text the others to stop searching cuz I found her & I will bring her home.

"Da Jung ah...." I call for her softly.

She raises her head to see me but then starts to cry again. I walk towards her & hug her. She buries her face on my chest. I don't care if she's making my shirt wet because of her tears. I just want to comfort her. After she starts to calm down, I speak to her,

"Da Jung ah, u can tell me what's wrong. It's not good to bottle up ur feelings."

"Everything is wrong. I... I don't meant to shout at Jiyeon. I don't meant to make Miyeon get out of the house. I... I don't meant to do anything..."

"Shhh... it's okay. Whatever the problem is, u can always solve it. When we get back home, u have to apologize to everyone, okay?"

"B-but what I do is too much that an apology is not enough. I never been grateful to have Miyeon as my older sister. All I do to pay her kindness is be rude to her." She continues to cry.

I pat her back, "It's okay. U can learn to appreciate her after this. Even when she is not ur real sister, u should appreciate her like one."

"U are right. Thank u for being here with me, Kookie."

"I will always be with u, my baby."

Da Jung's POV

After I'm ready to go home, me & Jungkook start to walk to my house. I stop when I see the scene in front of me. Miyeon is in front of the house. She seems cold cuz she wears thin clothes & keeps on rubbing her hands together. Then Jiyeon gets out of the house & look at Miyeon worriedly.

"Unnie, please come inside. U have been waiting for Da Jung for an hour here. It's cold."

What? She's waiting for me?? In the cold??

"N-no, I wouldn't get in if I don't see Da Jung in front of me." She then sneezes.

"Look, unnie! U are sick now. Da Jung is safe in Jungkook's hands so no need to worry."

Miyeon just shakes her head. I can't take it anymore. Why does she suffer like this just for me?? I run to her & hug her.

"O-oh Da Jung?!" She said, surprised.

"Yah! U can't wait for me outside on the cold! Now u are sick! U making me worry for u! If u really want to wait outside at least wear thick clothes!" I start to cry again.

She smiles fondly at me, "It's the least I can do for u, dongsaeng ah. U had been on cold for hours so it's unfair for me to wait for u in a warm place."

"Why u... why do u care so much for me, Miyeon? Just why??"

"Cuz I'm ur older sister. I know we are not blood related but it is still my responsibility to take care of u as the older sister."

I continue to cry while hugging her cuz I'm speechless. She's so kind to me that I feel so guilty with what I've been doing to her these years.

Miyeon's POV

"I'm sorry, unnie. I'm sorry for being selfish & rude to u all these years." Da Jung said.

I smile cuz I can feel her sincerity when she apologize. This is also the first time she call me unnie without being force.

"It's okay, dongsaeng ah. I had forgive u a long time ago."

☆☆☆☆☆

The next day, everything's back to normal. Well... just a bit. I am preparing breakfast when Da Jung comes on the kitchen. On usual days, she will just wait for breakfast but now...

"Unnie, is there anything I can do to help u?" She suddenly asks making me startle a bit.

"Oh, it's fine. It's almost done anyway." I said.

She pouts, "Okay, I will prepare the table & our drinks."

"No.. u don't have to.." I try to stop her cuz it's always me that do that.

"Unnie, I'm still doing it cuz u cook for us. So it's fair me to do this, right?"

She's got a point... "Okay.."

After eating, I start to gather my books when Da Jung stops me.

"What are u doing, unnie?"

I blink, "I'm going the school."

"It's still early to go to school. Why don't we stay here a bit? Then we walk to school together."

"But... okay." I always get early to school so that we don't have to walk together. I guess it's unneeded now.

It's a bit uncomfortable cuz she's acting different now. But I guess I have to get used to this.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

"Good morning, Miyeon unnie!" Jiyeon's loud voice can be heard when Da Jung & I enter the school building.

Jiyeon looks at Da Jung that still cling on my arm.

"Hey, that spot is mine!"

Da Jung shows her tongue at Jiyeon, "Not anymore~~"

They start to argue about being clingy at me. The rest just laugh at them. I sigh. Great, just great. I suddenly sneeze cuz I still have a flu from yesterday.

The two are suddenly in front of me.

"Unnie, u okay?" Da Jung asks.

I just nod.

"This is all ur fault for making her stay outside to wait for u!" Jiyeon suddenly said.

"It shows that she cares for me to suffer the cold weather to wait for me!"

"Hey! She's nearly killed for saving my life from my father!"

"Well, she is my sister!"

"Calm down, guys!!" I try to stop them but they won't hear me.

I just sigh. I keep on sneezing when suddenly a handkerchief is in front of me.

"Take this. I already said to take care of ur health, right?" Suga said.

I nod sheepishly, "Erm... thank you."

He just smiles & pat my head. What's with him & patting my head?

I suddenly feel someone looking at me intensely. But when I look at him, he avoids looking at me. Now that I think about it, Jhope is avoiding me ever since the time we met outside the cafe. Now how can I tell him the truth??
