Chapter 41999It’s been 2 years since Hyo Jin leave the orphanage. Now, Joon has taken her role. On that year, there’s a new child in the orphanage. His name is Jong Min and he’s in the same age like Kwon.
Unlike Kwon who is lovable, Jong Min is the exact opposite. Almost everyday he make others furious at him, and though Sister Maria has punished him it seems that he has no fear at all. He is so smart at manipulating people.
Sister Maria explained to Joon that Jong Min has more complicated background than the other children, there fore he must be able to control his emotion. After all, Jong Min is still a family.
Deep inside his heart, Jong Min understand that he can’t be rude to his new family. But he still can’t accept the fact that he’s all alone in this world.
That day, when Jong Min woke up, he realized something’s wrong. His house was too quiet. Usually, in the morning his parents are so noisy. His mother will be busy preparing the breakfast while talking to his father. And her father will try his best to divide his concentration so that he can still reading the newspaper while answering to her mother’s talk. Carefully, he step outside and he’s shocked. He found his parents body, lifeless. He ran outside searching for help. His neighbor tried to help him, but still it was too late. He lost his parents. Still, despite his pitiful condition none of his relatives willing to help him.
He ended up in orphanage.
He doesn’t bring a lot of stuff when he enter the orphanage. His neighbor gave him a letter one day before his departure to the orphanage.
“I think you should read this, Jong Min-ah”
“Why?”
“I found this in your parents bedroom. Maybe it will explain everything”
But, Jong Min doesn’t want to read the letter.
Physically, Jong Min is taller than Kwon. And knowing this fact, Jong Min like to make fun of Kwon anytime he got the chance. Surprisingly, Kwon doesn’t really give him the reaction that he has imagined. This, make him eager to find a new way to provoke Kwon. Deep inside his heart, he know that he’s wrong but still he can’t bear the fact that Kwon’s happier than him. All the children in this orphanage were left by their parents, but why are they happy? This is the question that Jong Min find it hard to answer.
“Hyung, I seriously want to punch him yesterday.” Kwon said to Joon.
“What did he do to you this time?” Joon asked.
“Yesterday, when mother asked him to clean the cabinet using towel, he purposely used my t-shirt”
“What did you say to him?”
“I yelled at him, but he just said oops, I’m sorry”
“…”
“My t-shirt is obviously insidemy cupboard. So, if he didn’t purposely take it out from there, how can he ended up using it?”
“But you didn’t do anything to him right?”
“No, I just grabbed my t-shirt and left him”
“That’s good. Don’t fall in to your anger. We have to give him time”
“yes, hyung.”
Kwon’s ignorance to his action make Jong Min feels angry. So, he try to get to know Kwon further more. He asked around about Kwon’s background and during his research he pretend to be kind to the other children so that they will open up to him. In the end, he got the basic background of Kwon. Though he still doesn’t find a way to use the information, but he keep it inside.
“Someday, this will be important”
2000
That day, Kwon couldn’t be patient anymore towards Jong Min. He was too much this time. And he ended up punching him.
Jong Min fell angrier than ever. He doesn’t report Kwon to Sister Maria but he planned something to Kwon.
“I will make you go from this orphanage. Soon”.
And, that day come. Jong Min has to clean Sister Maria's work room that day. And when he see that Kwon is near the room. He pretend to accept a phone call.
"Hyo Jin unnie? "
Kwon who heard the name Hyo Jin, quickly react and run to Jong Min.
"That phone call is from Hyo Jin unnie?"
"...."
"Answer me, quick"
"Yes, I believe the phone call is from someone named Hyo Jin. At least thats what she told me"
"What did she say? Did she looking for me?"
"Well...though I didn't hear her clearly. But she left a message for you"
"Does she want to visit me ?"
"Actually, she said something about meeting your real mother in Seoul. And she asked you to meet her"
"Really...?" Unknowingly, Kwon's tears fall down.
"Hyo Jin Unnie said that you meet her tomorrow. I will write down the address that she tell me in a paper. Wait”
Jong Min faked an address. He used to live in Seoul so he easily made up the address.
“Here you go. But, Kwon-ah, she also said not to tell anyone about this. She said that your mother want to take you away and live with you but Sister Maria reject the idea.”
“Sister Maria? But why..?”
“I don’t know. That’s what she told me on the phone. And honestly, If I were you, I won’t tell anyone”
“Ill think about it. Thanks Jong Min, I never thought that you can be nice”
“No problem.”
Kwon can’t sleep. He keep on thinking about meeting his sister and mother. But he also curious on Sister Maria’s reason for preventing him meeting his real mother.
“Why does Sister Maria reject the idea ?”
“I have to meet her tomorrow.” Kwon decides.
