Chapter 21 ~aT sChOoL~ KangTa walked down the halls alone today. Usually he would be talking cheerfully with HeeSun. But since that day he had found the ring at the hospital, he hadn’t seen her. “Hey Ta!” HeeJun cheerfully came up from behind him and slapped his back. “Hey…” KangTa turned around to see HeeJun and YooRi holding hands. “Where’s HeeSunie?” YooRi asked as she looked around. “I have no idea…” KangTa lowered his head as he looked at his ring. “Hey…what’s wrong oppa?” YooRi asked, “You seem kinda down today…everything okay?” “*Sigh* yeah…I’m okay…” KangTa replied, still playing with his ring. *GAAASSSPPP* KangTa and YooRi both turned to HeeJun to see what was wrong. HeeJun’s eyes were almost literally popping out of his sockets. -_-;; “Hyung? What’s wrong? You okay??” KangTa waved his hand in front of HeeJun’s face. HeeJun shook his head as his lips parted, “Hee…Sun…” Both KangTa and YooRi turned to where HeeJun was looking. “Oh…my god…” YooRi gasped. “…her…her hair…” KangTa stared, bewildered. HeeSun stood with her head low as Tony held her tiny waist in his arms from behind, his head resting on her shoulder as he talked to his friends. HeeSun’s long straight hair that was to her lower back was now dyed blonde and was just a little shorter than shoulder length. If her hair was a little shorter, maybe to her ears, it would’ve been identical to Tony’s. Tony then turned and caught KangTa, HeeJun, and YooRi’s glance, and smirked at them. He turned back to HeeSun and kissed her neck. To their surprise…HeeSun didn’t even try to move away. She just stood there and let Tony do what he wanted. KangTa stared in disbelief as he looked back down at his ring. He fished in his pocket and took out HeeSun’s ring. ‘Is this why…she took off our ring?? For…Tony…?’ KangTa thought to himself. Tony turned HeeSun so that she was facing him. He slowly lifted her chin and whispered, “Kiss me…” HeeSun looked at him with wide eyes, “What…?? Now? Here? I-I can’t…” “Do it! Or else WooHy-“ Tony didn’t get to finish as he felt HeeSun’s lips on his. Tony glanced at KangTa, HeeJun, and YooRi from the corner of his eyes and smiled through the kiss. “What the hell is she doing??” HeeJun fumed, “That’s Tony she’s kissing!!” “C’mon…lets go…” YooRi tugged on their sleeves, not wanting to watch this any longer. “Yeah…” KangTa said with his eyes on the ground. ~LaTeR~ HeeSun ran down the halls, headed towards her locker. She had some things to pick up before she headed to her new after school job. HeeSun swung her locker open and gathered up her things and ran off towards the exit of the school. Not watching where she was headed, she ran straight into KangTa. “OOOF!” HeeSun fell on her butt. HeeSun looked over to see who she ran into and saw KangTa pick himself up. KangTa looked up and saw that it was HER and slowly turned away. “KangTa…wait…” HeeSun’s voice quivered. “What do you want?” KangTa answered coldly. Surprised, HeeSun flinched from the way KangTa was talking to her. “You know what? I thought we were friends…best friends…” KangTa started. “But…we are!” HeeSun protested. “No…how could you be with Tony?? You know all that shit he does! You know how much he hurt us and our friends!” KangTa yelled, “…and how could you…take off our ring??” “My ring?? You found it??” HeeSun looked at him hopefully. “Yeah, but I guess you don’t want it huH? Since you took it off…” KangTa then laughed bitterly to himself, “Man…what was I thinking…friends forever…yeah right…” “But Hyunnie! I-“ HeeSun choked on her words as she ran to him. KangTa refused to look at her as she kept tugging his sleeve. “Oppa!! Listen to me!!” HeeSun yelled. *SLAP* HeeSun fell to the ground from the impact of the strike. “NOONA!” JaeWon who had seen everything, ran to his noona’s aid, “Are you okay??” “Don’t call me Hyunnie or oppa anymore…” KangTa spat out coldly. KangTa took out HeeSun’s ring from his pocket and took his own off of his finger, and dropped it. The sound of the rings hitting the ground echoed through the quiet halls. They rolled and stopped right in front of HeeSun and JaeWon. HeeSun’s eyes immediately filled with tears. She tried to speak, but choked on her tears and all that came out was a barely audible whisper, “Oppa…” JaeWon got up and walked over to KangTa, and blocked his way before he left. “Move Wonnie…” KangTa demanded. “NO! Do you know why noona is with Tony?? DO YOU?? Well, for your information…she offered to stay with him because she didn’t want WooHyuk hyung to be killed because of her! You actually think that she wants to stay with that asshole?!” JaeWon was getting peeved at all of KangTa’s assumptions of HeeSun and Tony. Regret and guilt immediately washed over KangTa as his eyes lowered to the ground. If he had known sooner…he wouldn’t been so mean to HeeSun… “Hyung…I think noona deserves an apology…” JaeWon stood in front of KangTa, waiting. “No…Wonnie…its okay…if he doesn’t want to be my friend…FINE THEN! I don’t care…all you think about is yourself! You and YooRi! YooRi this, YooRi that! Have you ever thought about how I felt? Have you KangTa?! Probably not…I thought that you would be the most understanding of my reason with Tony…did you actually think I would stoop that low to be with Tony? I thought you knew me better than that…I guess I was wrong…” HeeSun sobbed as she carelessly gathered her things up and ran out. KangTa had never felt so much shame in his life. HeeSun was right…he did know her more than anyone else, yet he jumped to conclusions and got all the wrong ideas… KangTa looked down and saw that HeeSun had left their rings there. He bent down and picked them up. Slowly he placed his back on his finger and put HeeSun’s ring in his pocket. “What have I done…?” KangTa sighed in regret, “I’m so stupid…” Chapter 22 *DiNg DiNg* The bell that hung above the door rang as someone entered the store. “Welcome to House Of Sluts…how may I help you?” SaeJin looked up and found that it was only HeeSun, “Oh, hi HeeSun…you do know that you’re late on your first day of work right?” “Y-yeah…sorry…” HeeSun kept her head low as she walked towards the back of the store to put away her things. SaeJin noticed that her voice was a bit stuffy and unclear. SaeJin slowly stood up and followed HeeSun to the back. “HeeSunah…have you been crying??” SaeJin tried to look at HeeSun’s eyes, but she wouldn’t look at her. “Look at me HeeSun!” SaeJin roughly turned HeeSun around and saw all her mascara smeared and her eyes all red. HeeSun shook off SaeJin’s hand and ran to the restroom. SaeJin sighed as she went back to organizing the racks of clothes. After a few minutes, HeeSun came back out of the restroom with her face all cleaned up and her makeup re-applied. Both girls were quiet for the rest of the day until Tony came at 8 and picked them both up to their night jobs. The ride was totally silent as HeeSun looked out the window, wondering where they were headed… A little later, they stopped in front of a 3-story building. They all got out and entered the building. Everyone that passed by bowed to Tony. Tony then turned to HeeSun and explained everything to her. It turns out that it was a kareoke bar owned by Tony…and she was supposed to sing with the customers. -_-;; “So…just wait here till someone picks you…and be polite to the customers,” Tony said, as he kissed her before he left. “Okay…” HeeSun obediently stood with the other girls, including SaeJin, waiting to be picked… ‘*Sigh* this is gonna be a long night…’ HeeSun thought to herself as she smiled politely to all the people that came in… ~LaTeR~ HeeSun stumbled into her room and onto her bed. She lazily changed into her pajamas as she yawned. She got into bed and glanced at her clock… 3:30am… She sighed as her droopy eyelids started to flutter…and fall as she fell asleep… ~NeXt DaY~ HeeSun sat in class trying to stay awake as the teacher lectured on about the oncoming exam… It seemed like forever until the bell rang and school was out. Slowly, HeeSun packed up her things and went to the front of the school to meet up with Tony. When HeeSun got there, Tony pulled her into his arms and held her as he talked to another ‘Black Dragons’ member. “…and remember…post a lot of the ads near their school…I wanna make sure that SungHoon sees them…” Tony ordered, “He’s going to pay for beating up one of my men…” The guy nodded as he headed off with a stack of ads for the kareoke bar. Tony then led HeeSun to his car and drove her to HOS for work. “See you later tonight,” Tony said, kissing her cheek. “Bye oppa,” HeeSun got out of the car and went in HOS and got ready for work… ~OtHeR SiDe oF tHe CiTy~ “New kareoke bar huh?…” SungHoon said outloud to himself. “Would you like us to trash it sir?” JiWon, SungHoon’s right hand man, stepped forward. “No…hMm…I think I’ll pay this little ‘kareoke’ bar a visit…” SungHoon smiled to himself, “Lets go back to headquarters…we still have a few hours before it opens…” ~aBoUt 5 hOuRs LaTeR~ “So this is the new joint huh? …not bad…” SungHoon commented as he looked at the building from outside. SungHoon entered and was greeted by Tony. SungHoon just smiled calmly. “Ah…Tony…sup? Oh and about that misunderstanding with one of your gang members…sorry about that,” SungHoon smiled as he ‘apologized’. “It’s aitez…it happens…” Tony forced a fake smile on his face. “So we cool now right?” SungHoon assumed. “Yeah…” Tony smirked. ‘This was easier than I thought…’ SungHoon thought as he smiled AGAIN. -_-;; Tony, on the other hand, had other plans for SungHoon… “I’ll be right back…” Tony excused himself. Tony walked into a room at the back and knocked as he opened the door, “HeeSun?” “Yeah?” HeeSun looked up from her homework that she was attempting to finish. “I need you to do something for me…” Tony said. “uMm…okay…” HeeSun answered hesitantly. “All you have to do is entertain SungHoon…get him drunk and look through his pockets…and take him to the third floor…room 25,” Tony instructed, “There’s a camera in that room…if you find anything…show the camera okay?” “Okay…” HeeSun nodded. They both then exited the room. Tony went towards SungHoon as HeeSun joined the group of the girls at the front of the bar. “SungHoon…pick a girl…” Tony said. “Why?” SungHoon looked puzzled. “Since I’m in a good mood…I’ll let you in free tonight,” Tony smiled as he went on, “You pick a girl and she stays with you to sing for the rest of your stay here…” “I see…well…in that case…I pick…” SungHoon looked around and stopped when he spotted HeeSun staring at him, “…her!” HeeSun looked at him surprised, but quickly looked down at the ground, blushing when he smiled at her. “Great choice…” Tony smirked as he sent them to their assigned room. SungHoon extended his arm and HeeSun hesitantly took it as they went on their way to room 25 on the third floor… Chapter 23 “Oh love~ wae ee jeh suh ya~” SungHoon sang along as HeeSun listened in admiration. As SungHoon finished, HeeSun clapped loudly, “Wow…you have a really nice voice sir.” “Haha thanks…and call me SungHoon…” SungHoon smiled flirtatiously at her. “Okay…SungHoon…” HeeSun answered shyly. “So…how about a reward? For my singing?” SungHoon suggested. “Reward? What kind of reward?” HeeSun asked uncertainly. “How about…a kiss?” SungHoon smiled as he wrapped an arm around her. “A k-kiss? uMm…” HeeSun smiled nervously, “I don’t know…” “Aww…c’mon…just one kiss!” SungHoon gave her the puppy eyes. “Aiyah…” HeeSun laughed lightly, “I don’t kiss my clients…” “Just one…” SungHoon tightened his hand around her wrist. “Su-SungHoon! You’re hurting me!” HeeSun tried to pull her wrist away from his grasp. SungHoon pulled HeeSun in his arms, but just as his lips got closer hers, the door opened. “Sorry to interrupt, but your stay is up sir…” One of the workers informed. “Damn…” SungHoon then turned to HeeSun and smiled, “How about going home with me tonight? I’ll show you a good time…promise…” “I can’t…I still have to work…” HeeSun answered. “Well…if you ever change your mind…here’s my number,” SungHoon pulled out a business card and handed it to her. And with that he left the room. HeeSun sighed as she made her way back down to the first floor. The first person she ran into was Tony. “Did you find anything?” Tony asked eagerly. “No…but he gave me this…” HeeSun handed over the business card. “Argh…” Tony stomped his foot in frustration then sighed, “That’s okay…he’ll be back…I know it…” HeeSun nodded as she went back to work. ‘Just 2 more hours…’ HeeSun thought to herself as she forced a smile on her face and went back to work. ~aBoUt 2 HoUrS LaTeR~ HeeSun wearily made her way up to her room, but stopped by WooHyuk’s first. She peaked her head in and saw him sleeping. Slowly, she walked over next to his bed and kneeled beside him. She watched him sleep as he breathed lightly, his chest slowly rising up and down. HeeSun cautiously brought her hand up and brushed aside his hair, getting a better view of his bruised and cut face. She looked at him guiltily because she knew it was her fault that he was hurt…it was her fault that Tony hurt him… HeeSun wiped away the tears that were falling as she lightly stroked his face. Suddenly, as WooHyuk stirred, HeeSun quickly brought her hand back. “HeeSun?” WooHyuk questioned in a husky voice, “Is that you?” “Yeah oppa…its me…” HeeSun reached up and took his hand in hers to let him know she was there, “How are you feeling?” “Better…” WooHyuk tried to smile, but coughed instead. HeeSun’s hand tightened around his as he coughed, but didn’t say anything. Finally when his coughing ceased, she relaxed the pressure on his hand. “Oppa…do you need anything? To eat…or drink?” HeeSun offered. “No…I’m fine…” WooHyuk answered, breathing slowly. “Oppa…I-I’m really sorry for putting you through all this trouble…I didn’t mean for you to get hurt…if I knew--…I…I’m sorry oppa…” HeeSun apologized over and over again trying not to cry in front of him. “Aigo…I told you already HeeSunah…its okay…” WooHyuk answered as he shh-ed her, gently stroking her hand with his thumb. “Well…you should get to bed…you have school tomorrow…” WooHyuk said. “O-okay oppa…” HeeSun slowly moved over to kiss his forehead then stood up, “Goodnight oppa…sweet dreams.” “Night…” WooHyuk answered as the door finally shut, cutting off the only source of light he had. ~NeXt DaY~ “Now if xy equal-“ The professor was cut off as a lady knocked and entered the room. “Sorry to disturb your class, but I have a delivery here for…Lee HeeSun?” the lady said. HeeSun stood up as the lady walked over to her and handed her the bouquet of flowers. HeeSun looked at the flowers and sat down, as the teacher went back to teaching. She slowly unfolded the card and read it: To my HeeSun… Hey~ its SungHoon miss me? Well…I missed you. Just wanted to send you these flowers…hope ya like them…I’ll see ya tonight aite? Later babe… - SungHoon HeeSun looked at the card unbelievably. How did he find out where she went to school?? She shook her head as she placed the flowers on the floor and went back to taking notes…ignoring all thoughts of SungHoon… ~LaTeR tHaT NiGhT~ “Ah…back so soon, SungHoon?” Tony smiled knowingly. “Yeah…hey get me the same girl as yesterday…” SungHoon wasted no time as he asked for what he wanted, “…and get me some beer too.” “Okay…she’ll meet you in the same room as last time in 5 minutes…” Tony answered, as he walked off looking for HeeSun. Tony went back to the changing room and immediately went up to HeeSun. “HeeSun…he’s here again and he wants you again…” Tony informed, “…but he also wanted beer…I suppose he wants you to drink with him…how much can you handle?” HeeSun looked at him for a second before answering, “Beer? Oppa…you know I don’t drink…” “Well…you’re gonna hafta drink tonight…don’t worry…just take it slowly and make him drink more…you can do it…” Tony assured her. “uMm…okay…” HeeSun said as she was pushed out of the room. ~aBoUt 5 MiNuTeS LaTeR~ HeeSun entered the room with a few bottles of beer. She looked up to find SungHoon looking through magazines, bored. She slowly placed the beer bottles down and sat down next to him. SungHoon immediately turned his attention to HeeSun and the beer. “HeeSunah…how about we try something different tonight?” SungHoon suggested. “Like what?” HeeSun asked. “We’ll have a singing contest…and who ever gets the lower score has to chug a bottle of beer,” SungHoon smiled evilly. “BUT OPPA!! That’s not fair!! We both know you have a great voice!!” HeeSun protested against him. “Fine…I’ll give you a head start…” SungHoon offered as he picked up a beer bottle, popped off the cap and started chugging. HeeSun watched wide-eyed as he finished the bottle in no time. “Okay…lets start,” SungHoon said as he wiped his mouth. Chapter 24 “I WIN AGAIN…Chug!! Chug!! Chug!!” SungHoon chanted as he watched HeeSun gulp down a mouthful of beer after another. Slowly, the liquid disappeared as HeeSun drank the rest. She moved the bottle away from her lips and started coughing. SungHoon smiled as he patted her back waiting for her coughing to stop. “SungHoon…this isn’t fair…you always win by a few points…I’ll never beat you…” HeeSun slurred. “Aww…of course you can beat me…you have a great voice…” SungHoon encouraged, “Now lets sing more.” “No…” HeeSun pouted, “I don’t wanna play no more!” “Aww c’mon!!” SungHoon moved towards HeeSun, “I’ll give you a kiss! Then will you play?” “hMm…maybe~!” HeeSun’s teased, “…depends~!” “So if I kissed you like this,” SungHoon moved over and kissed her neck as he whispered, “…you wouldn’t mind?…” “Hehe that tickles oppa…” HeeSun giggled. SungHoon pulled HeeSun’s body closer to his as he moved his lips up towards hers. HeeSun closed her eyes as their lips met. Not knowing a hidden camera was watching him; SungHoon kissed her deeply, taking advantage of her drunken state. ~mEaNwHiLe oN tHe FiRsT fLoOr~ Tony watched SungHoon move towards HeeSun, kissing her. He immediately slammed his fist on the desk in front of him. “Stupid son of a…” Tony mumbled as he pressed the intercom button, “SaeJin…go get HeeSun out of there…NOW.” “Okay…” SaeJin replied through the intercom and went off towards the third floor… ~BaCk To SuNgHoOn aNd HeEsUn~ SungHoon pushed HeeSun back towards the soft couch as he kissed her desperately. His hands moved down towards the buttons on her shirt as he hastily tried to undo them. Just as he got the first one to unbutton, there was a knock on the door. “I’m sorry…but your time is up sir…” SaeJin informed. “Dammit!!” SungHoon was aritated from being interrupted twice. “Aw Hoonie oppa~ don’t leave~ hehe!” HeeSun whined. “Wanna go home with me?” SungHoon grinned mischievously. “Sunnie…you still have to work…” SaeJin reminded HeeSun. “Oh phooey…” HeeSun sat pouting as she watched SungHoon walk out the door. ~LaTeR~ “Why were you kissing him??” Tony asked, furious that his most hated enemy had touched HeeSun. “Ionno~ hehe!” HeeSun giggled as she moved towards Tony, “Oppa…you know you look really sexy right now?” “HeeSun stop it!!” Tony yelled as he felt HeeSun hug him. HeeSun sat pouting, as Tony scolded her for wasting two days without getting any information out of SungHoon. When Tony realized that HeeSun wasn’t even listening, he sighed and asked Eric to take her home. When HeeSun reached Tony’s place, she stumbled up the stairs and into WooHyuk’s room. She saw WooHyuk breathing lightly as his face lit up in the dark. Slowly, HeeSun moved towards WooHyuk until their lips touched. WooHyuk opened his eyes and saw HeeSun kissing him. He kissed her back, thinking it was all a dream. Her lips tasted like alcohol. HeeSun moved her body until she was on him and tugged on his shirt. That’s when WooHyuk realized that HeeSun was drunk and it wasn’t a dream after all. WooHyuk quickly pushed her off as she looked at him longingly. “No oppa…I want you…I need you…” HeeSun tried feeling WooHyuk’s lips again, only to be pushed away once again. “HeeSun! You’re drunk!!” WooHyuk yelled. HeeSun looked at him as her eyes watered, “I’m sorry oppa…” “Aigo…HeeSunah…don’t cry…oppa’s not mad…” WooHyuk gathered HeeSun into his arms. They stayed like that for a while until WooHyuk felt HeeSun’s slight breathing on his neck. “HeeSun?” WooHyuk whispered. When he got no response from her, he knew she had fallen asleep. WooHyuk called Eric and asked him to take HeeSun to her room. He could’ve had HeeSun for the night…but that wasn’t how he wanted her. He wanted her to love him…he didn’t want a one-night stand. WooHyuk sighed as he shut his eyes, trying to sleep, but the thought of HeeSun’s lips on his just kept running through his head… ~NeXt DaY~ “C’mon HeeSun~ lets go…” Tony grabbed HeeSun’s hand as they walked down the halls. KangTa watched as HeeSun tried to keep up with Tony, keeping her eyes on the ground. He sighed then went back to his locker. ‘If she has someone in her life then I should be happy for her right?’ KangTa asked himself. “Argh!” KangTa slammed his locker door shut, “It’s impossible for me to be happy…when she’s not with me…” ~ToNy aNd HeESuN~ “Oppa…I’m sorry about yesterday…” HeeSun apologized. “*Sigh* its okay…it was my fault I made you go drink with him anyways…” Tony said as he squeezed her hand. They finally reached Tony’s Tiburon. Tony opened the passenger door for HeeSun and got in himself. But before he started the engine, he looked over at HeeSun and stroked her cheek. “I’m sorry for the way I treated you these past few days…if you need to rest or if you’re too tired…tell me…okay?” Tony looked at HeeSun. “Okay…thanks oppa,” HeeSun smiled as she hugged him. They stayed like that for a while as HeeSun thought to herself, ‘He’s not that bad of a guy after all…’ What they didn’t know was that SungHoon was watching from his car. SungHoon had come, in hopes of picking HeeSun up and spending some alone time with her. But when he saw her with Tony, he realized what Tony was doing…he was using HeeSun to get to him… “F*ck them…” SungHoon growled, “They’re gonna pay for this…” Chapter 25 “Oppa…could drop me off here?” HeeSun asked, pointing at a nearby park. “Why?” Tony questioned, raising one eyebrow. “I just need some fresh air…” HeeSun replied. “Okay, sure…” Tony said as he pulled over. “Thanks oppa…I’ll see you later…” HeeSun said as she hugged him. HeeSun jumped out of the car and walked towards the grass and trees. She found the biggest oak tree there was and sat underneath it. She closed her eyes and felt the wind blow against her as she relaxed herself, letting her mind wander. Tears slowly fell from her eyes. She had missed KangTa so much…if only he knew why she was acting this way. All she wanted was for him to be happy, but that also meant giving up her own happiness. Suddenly, HeeSun felt a tap on her shoulder. She jumped up, surprised at the sudden movement. In front of her stood the one and only KangTa. HeeSun immediately hardened her eyes at the sight of KangTa. She turned around and started walking the other direction, trying to brush away the tears. KangTa followed close behind her as she sped walked away. HeeSun felt his presence and turned around abruptly. She glared at him, her eyes red and her face tear-streaked. “What the hell do you want from me?” HeeSun asked, trying to keep her voice from quivering. Shocked at the tone she was using towards him he stuttered, “H-HeeSunah…we need to talk…” “What’s there to talk about…I thought you didn’t want to be around me anymore…” HeeSun said as she looked away. “…” HeeSun was right; he did act like a jerk to her. HeeSun noticed that KangTa didn’t have anything to say. She sighed then turned the other way. “Op-KangTa…I don’t think we should be seen together…you don’t want to be seen around me, I can’t be seen around you…so why don’t we just…” HeeSun didn’t want to finish what she had to say. KangTa watched as she slowly walked away. He didn’t want to lose her again…not now…not ever. Immediately, he ran after her and embraced her from behind. HeeSun sobbed softly as she felt his warm embrace around her. “HeeSun…don’t leave…I’m sorry…” KangTa whispered. HeeSun spun around and looked at KangTa, tears still running down her face, “Don’t you see?? It just wouldn’t work out anymore…you and HeeJun and Yoori are all so innocent…and pure…I don’t belong with you guys anymore…” KangTa looked at her, confusion written all over his face. “*Sigh* you wouldn’t understand…” HeeSun hiccupped as she turned around once more. KangTa grabbed her wrist and turned her around. HeeSun, unexpectedly, felt his lips on hers. HeeSun stared at KangTa wide-eyed as she tried to push him off, but he refused to move. Finally, she gave in, letting their lips fit together perfectly, like a puzzle with a missing piece. When they finally pulled apart, KangTa stared at HeeSun with loving eyes. HeeSun stared at the ground, trying to keep the tears from coming. KangTa reached over and slowly kissed her face, kissing away all her tears. “I’m so sorry HeeSun…I didn’t mean what I said the other day…” KangTa apologized. HeeSun just nodded. KangTa then lifted up her face by the chin and looked deeply into her eyes. He moved closer and kissed her again, but this time it was short and sweet. They stood there for a few minutes, holding onto each other in silence. Finally, KangTa decided to break the silence… ”HeeSunah…sarang hae…” HeeSun looked at KangTa with tears in her eyes as she started to sob again. She buried her face into his chest and cried. KangTa just held onto her tightly, not saying another word. Finally, HeeSun pulled away from KangTa, hastily brushing away the tears. “Oppa…I hafta get to work…” HeeSun managed to say. KangTa smiled as he took her hand in his, “I’ll walk you there then…” They walked out of the park and down the street, hand-in-hand. Just as they reached the corner of the street, HeeSun saw WooHyuk and Eric walking towards HOS. WooHyuk was leaning against Eric as they entered HOS. HeeSun immediately pulled KangTa back. “uMm…Hyunnie…you stay here…” HeeSun said as she looked around the corner again. “Why?” KangTa asked, confused. “WooHyuk’s there…” HeeSun replied. “Oh…” KangTa looked disappointed, “Okay…don’t get yourself into too much trouble…you know what? I’ll be at the coffee shop across the street…if you need anything…call my cell.” HeeSun nodded as she hugged him once more before she ran towards The House Of Sluts. HeeSun was about a building away from HOS when someone grabbed her from behind. She turned around and saw SungHoon smiling at her. Along with SungHoon were five other guys. The five guys each had tank of gasoline with them. ”SungHoon? What are you doing here?” HeeSun asked as she looked at his friends. “HeeSun I think we really need to talk,” SungHoon said through gritted teeth as he tightened his grasp on her wrist. “Let go! You’re hurting me!!” HeeSun said as she tried to tug her arm away from him. SungHoon threw her over towards two of the guys as they held onto her. SungHoon then smirked as he talked with them, “Wait for my signal before you light up anything…” The guys nodded as two of them stayed outside and three followed SungHoon and HeeSun into HOS. The two guys, that were told to stay outside, started pouring the gasoline around the one-story building, throwing some on the walls as they went around the store. KangTa watched from across the street wondering what was going on as he sipped his coffee and flipped through the newspaper, trying not to look suspicious. Chapter 26 “And who do we have here?” SungHoon smirked as he pushed HeeSun into HOS. “Oppa…” HeeSun reached out towards WooHyuk, but SungHoon pulled her back. “What…is he your toy too? You little whore…you probably slept with him…” SungHoon spat. “Why the fuck are you here SungHoon?” WooHyuk asked through gritted teeth. “You don’t know? I’m here to see my HeeSun,” SungHoon said as he pulled HeeSun closer to himself. HeeSun looked at WooHyuk and Eric with pleading eyes, asking for help. But both were helpless. WooHyuk was leaning on Eric for support and Eric was weapon-less. They were outnumbered, 2 to 4. The three guys that were with SungHoon smirked victoriously, as they kept their guns pointed at WooHyuk and Eric. “So HeeSun…” SungHoon started, “Did you actually think you could use me like that?” “W-what are you talking about oppa?” HeeSun stuttered as she looked at the ground. “You know what the fuck I’m talking about!” SungHoon fumed, “I saw you with Tony today!” HeeSun kept her eyes on the ground as SungHoon tried to calm himself down. “You little whore…did Tony want you to get information out of me? Were you using me?” SungHoon roughly grabbed HeeSun’s face, holding it dangerously close to his. When HeeSun didn’t answer, SungHoon brought his hand forward and slapped her across the face. The sound of his palm meeting her face was deafening in the silent room. HeeSun immediately fell to the ground holding her face as tears threatened to fall. “You keep your hands off of her!” WooHyuk growled. “Hey shut up!” JiWon, one of the three guys with SungHoon, brought the butt of his gun down on WooHyuk’s shoulder. WooHyuk fell to the ground, gasping in pain. SungHoon smiled evily as he looked at WooHyuk. SaeJi immediately came to WooHyuk’s aide, supporting him up. “You know WooHyuk…I could do anything I want to her…” SungHoon grinned as he loomed over HeeSun, “and the best thing about it is that you can’t do anything about it.” “You better…fucken stay away from her…” WooHyuk warned while clutching onto his shoulder. JiWon, SuWon, and JaeDuc all plopped down on the plush sofas, still keeping their guns pointed at WooHyuk and Eric. SungHoon down looked at HeeSun as she looked back with frightened eyes. He slowly got down on the ground as he kept his eyes locked with hers. He then looked at WooHyuk and smirked as he captured HeeSun’s lips in his. HeeSun pushed at SungHoon, trying to get him off her, but SungHoon immediately grabbed her wrists and held them down. He then turned to WooHyuk and sneered. “Don’t you wish you could kiss her like this? Don’t you WooHyuk?” SungHoon reached down and kissed her again. WooHyuk’s fists tightened as his knuckles turned white. SaeJin held onto WooHyuk, knowing that those three guys wouldn’t hesitate to shoot him if he moved. SungHoon kissed HeeSun hungrily, his hands roaming down her body. He got up and tugged at her top as HeeSun struggled against him. He roughly pushed her back as he ripped her top open, buttons flying all over the place. SungHoon immediately kissed her exposed breasts. HeeSun sobbed and sobbed as she begged SungHoon to stop. “Shut up you little whore!! I know you like this…so stop pretending to be so helpless!” SungHoon spat as he slapped her again. HeeSun whimpered as the tears fell silently. SungHoon continued kissing her breasts as his hands moved down towards her legs, pushing her short skirt up. “What the fuck SungHoon! Let her go!” WooHyuk yelled. SungHoon ignored him as he continued to push at her skirt. Suddenly the front door crashed open. HeeSun tried to pull her shirt together, but most of it was torn in shreds. SungHoon grabbed onto HeeSun, pointing a gun at her head. “SungHoon…you better fuck off and let HeeSun go!” Tony growled. Behind Tony stood MinWoo, DongWan, HyeSung, and…KangTa. HeeSun gasped in pain as SungHoon’s grasp tightened on her. “Hello Tony…” SungHoon greeted calmly. “Don’t you ‘hello’ me, you fucken shithead!” Tony glared at him. “Now Tony…is that the right way to talk to someone who has a gun pointing at an innocent little girl?” SungHoon smirked, “I suggest you tell your boys to put their guys down.” Tony and SungHoon stared at each other, giving each other the evil glare full of hatred as all of the guys kept their guns up. “Guys…” Tony sighed, “Put ur guns down…” SungHoon smiled in victory as he pointed his gun up towards the ceiling and fired three times. Everyone looked around as they saw fire light up outside. SungHoon charged at Tony, catching him off guard, as he rammed into him causing him to fall backwards. SungHoon’s crew and Tony’s crew all charged at each other, punching and kicking. HeeSun moved towards the curtains, grabbing it and ripping it off with the curtain rings then wrapped it around herself. KangTa immediately rushed to her side and hugged her. “Are you okay??” KangTa asked as he caressed her face. HeeSun nodded faintly as her eyes met with WooHyuk’s. She smiled lightly then looked away. KangTa picked her up in his arms then ran out of the burning building with her. Meanwhile, Tony was beating SungHoon senseless. The other crew members of both sides, except WooHyuk and SaeJin, had fled the burning building, knowing it was going to collapse soon. Tony kicked SungHoon in the stomach one last time before turning to leave. “Don’t you ever mess with me again…” Tony spat. Tony ran over to WooHyuk helping him up to his feet with SaeJin. WooHyuk looked over Tony’s shoulder and saw SungHoon grasp onto his gun, aiming for Tony. “NOOOOOO!!” Chapter 27 Everything seemed to go in slow motion as the gunshot rang out in the silence of the night. Tony watched in horror as WooHyuk’s body fell to the ground, in a pool of blood. WooHyuk had pushed Tony out of the way and taken the bullet for him. Tony’s eyes were then glazed over with an evil glint as he picked up a gun off the ground. He pointed it at SungHoon and pulled the trigger continuously, bullets soaring, until there were no more bullets left. Sure enough, SungHoon was left lifeless, lying in his own blood. Tony turned back to WooHyuk and grabbed his shoulders. He started to drag him up, but WooHyuk let out a cry of pain. “Tony…just leave me here…it’s too late for me…” WooHyuk gasped out in short breaths. “No WooHyuk, don’t say such things!! You’re going to live…and we are going to rule the Black Dragons together!” Tony said, holding back his tears. “No…Tony…leave now…I can see my parents…they are waiting for me up in heaven…just go Tony…” “W-WooHyuk…” Tony’s tears finally fell, one by one, “You can’t leave me all alone here!” “I need to go…my time has come Tony…please…watch over JaeWon for me?? And watch over HeeSun…and everyone else…please…” WooHyuk whispered, his eyelids fluttering every now and then. Tony watched as his best friend gasp in pain, his face ghastly white. SaeJin held WooHyuk as she sobbed uncontrollably. WooHyuk then turned his face towards SaeJin and smiled. “SaeJinah…go with Tony…hurry before the building comes crashing down…” WooHyuk pleaded. “N-no oppa…I want to stay with you…” SaeJin sniffled, determined to stay with him no matter what, “I’m not leaving your side…not now…not ever…” “SaeJin…you can’t stay here…go with Tony” WooHyuk repeated he tried to keep his eyes open just a bit longer. “No oppa…I love you…and I will stay with you now and forever…” SaeJin sobbed as she held onto WooHyuk’s bloody body. WooHyuk nodded unconsciously as he turned back to Tony, “Go Tony…hurry…take care of everyone for me…I’ll watch over you…promise…and don’t ever forget me…” “I won’t…I won’t ever forget you…” Tony said as the tears fell endlessly. Tony took one last look at them before he dashed out of the building. He coughed as the strong odor of smoke in the chilly night air choked him. He turned around and saw HeeSun in the arms of KangTa and Eric off to the side with MinWoo, DongWan, and HyeSung coughing uncontrollably. Suddenly with a loud crackle, the building collapsed; slowly at first, then the whole thing just came crashing down. Everyone watched as the fire burnt in dark, peaceful night. HeeSun looked around and noticed that WooHyuk and SaeJin weren’t around. She immediately crawled over to Tony, pleading him to tell her where they were, that they were safe. Tony just let his tears fall as he kept his head low. HeeSun felt her tears coming as she let out a scream of anger and grief. “NOOOOOO!! OPPAA!!!” HeeSun pounded her fist against the cement ground. She screamed and screamed until she lost her voice, drained of energy. KangTa embraced her into his loving arms, comforting her as she cried…for her loss of a friend, a protector, her guardian angel… ~MoNtHs LaTeR~ “SaeJin unnie~ Hyukie oppa~! We’re here to see you again!” HeeSun called out cheerfully as she went and sat next to their graves. KangTa, Tony, and JaeWon all followed not far behind. They watched as she rambled on and on about her day to WooHyuk and SaeJin as if they were still alive. “Oppa…do you like these flowers? I picked them out just for you! Hehe…” HeeSun said in a delightful voice, but it was immediately followed by a quivering sigh, “Oppa…I really miss you…a-and I never got to say goodbye and thank you for the times you’ve taken care of me and helped me and my friends out…I hope you’re doing okay in heaven…take good care of SaeJin unnie okay? I-I just really miss you…*sigh* I guess that’s all for today oppa…I’ll come again soon okay? I promise…” HeeSun wiped away her tears as she moved away the old flowers and put the new ones on his grave and SaeJin’s. She looked one last time before turning to the guys, and forced on a small smile, “Lets go…” They all got in Tony’s car and rode in silence. The only sound audible was the sound of everyone’s breathing. Tony then broke the silence with a sigh. “Guys…cheer up,” Tony said then gave a smile, “Let’s try to have some fun today okay? I know just where to go!” Tony had changed ever since the night of the fire. He had become a better person. They drove for a while before they stopped infront of a gigantic mall. “Ta-da!” Tony said as he parked his car, “This mall just opened two days ago!” They all got out and explored the mall for a while. They walked and walked until they got to the end of the mall and stopped as HeeSun screamed in horror. KangTa, Tony, and JaeWon looked over and saw what HeeSun was looking at and screamed in terror too. They all stared at each other and screamed once AGAIN before running away, screaming their heads off… At that end of the mall was the sign: ‘GRAND OPENING!’ Then below that was the name of the new store: The House Of Sluts… *THE END!* ^_^ hahahahaha!
