December Kiss (Part 7: You Will Never Hurt Her, Bastard!)

This is just an imaginative story.. never take it too serious… moreover, too personal…

Minho really dared himself to send back his text to Ma Yeon Woo rudely about his own feeling to that man. He was never be afraid his marks on subjects might be down grade because he fought against Yeon Woo, his own dean. For him, Eun Young is a victim of fatherhood torture, and his duty to release her free.

He thought about Eun Young much. He was afraid that girl would be tortured again. He just stood then walked back and forth in his room, again.. thinking how to find out her problem… after for some time, he was finally out from his room..and went to his sister’s.

“what is it again??,” asked his sister in her room.

Minho directly sat beside her, told that he had challenged Yeon Woo.

Mi Young was very aghast,” what?? Are you really crazy?? Your subjects will be down grade, you know.. ah!”

She was really confused, she never thought that her little bro is now really brave to face someone who is higher position than his. Minho didn’t show his anxiety at all in front of her. That made her astonished, even yet a little bit worry.

“That’s gonna be really a serious problem.. you must ask Appa to help you, Minho.. I cant imagine that abusive father will mock your study.. you can be dropped out by him”

“I realize it.. I know, Eonni.. but how come is he able to meddle my study?? I can drag him to president in this Uni,” defended Minho. He was absolutely sure that he could win in this game.

“Really so risky… you play the game first..,” said Mi Young

” don’t be so stupid, Minho.. he’s an influenced person.. and anyway… you must be ready for it..and now you must discuss with Appa.. no time,”

Minho a bit grimed,” I was so emotional last time, Eonni.. also very worried, he would torture her,”

Mi Young took her deep breathe, then followed by Minho. She really couldn’t reach in her mind.. that Minho was so so necked. She just couldn’t reach it.

Then she asked, whether he called her or not. But there, Minho shook his head

“so… her phone even is controlled by him?? What an acute possessive father,” Mi Young sighed.

Minho just nodded,”so, Eonni.. we must act faster than him,”

Mi Young mumbled, she asked Minho to go with her, to meet their father soon. He grabbed Minho’s hand and they searched for their father. Their mom whom saw their behavior was on the go, became so bothered.

“what’s going on, Minho.. Mi Young??,” said their mom in the kitchen

“Eomma… Where’s Appa? We need him asap,” replied Minho in a hurry.

“last time he was in backyard,” smiled their mom

Mi Young dragged his hand and they went to it. There, they saw their father sitting in front of fish pond. Mi Young came towards him, Minho was on back.

Their father was confused, why his children came towards him like pursuing something from him.

“what’s going on?? Why like in a hurry?,” said Lee Ji Hoon to his son and daughter. He was enjoying his afternoon tea.

Mi Young then sat down beside him,” Appa.. Minho is in trouble with his study”

Minho grimed,”Eonni.. it’s not…”

Before he continued his words, Mi Young interrupted it,” dagchyeo (shut up).. this is urgent”, she really paid attention to him.. indeed kind of lovely elder sister.

Ji Hoon understands their characters which sometimes up side down to one others. So he let his daughter to tell what actually happened to his son. Then Mi Young told everything she knew to him.

Ji Hoon was taken aback,” Minho.. you are restless,” he put down his book on the table.

“Mian haeyo, Appa.. but he hides behind his position,” Minho defended himself, perhaps his father would help him

“I know what you meant.. but Eun Young’s business isn’t ours,” said Ji Hoon again.

Minho felt powerless. Mi Young knows her little bro’s character.. yes, he sometimes feels so everyone will help him if he’s powerless.. or otherwise he will grim and set his anger in silence.

Ji Hoon knows his son a lot.. so he never wants to mock or be angry with him.. no, never.. enough just give him some advices and he will think..

“In this case, what you’ve done was challenging the dragon out from his nest,” said his father again. Minho just kept silent, he thought hard again, his father might not help him by what he just said to him.

He really hoped his father would help me. His heart beat fast, waiting for his answer to this case.

Their father then spoke,”I am gonna have a tender with him.. but I will compete with Han Nam Ki.. “

Minho was surprised, he seems to know who Han Nam Ki is.

“Han Nam Ki?? Father of Ji Young?,”

Mi Young then also was surprised,” Ji Young your best friend?? Really??”

Minho nodded, but his father said,” What’s going on with Ji Young??”

“Ani, Appa.. I just newly knew that you may compete with that Han-ssi… but anyway… will you use that Ma Yeon Woo for being your architect??”

“Not as my architect, respectively.. as my partner,” replied Ji Hoon.

“Oh..,” said Minho,”But then.. what will be the next between that tender, Appa??,”

“Haven’t got any clue.. because I am still on the plan for it.. government hasn’t agreed with my concept at all about “green beyond the modern life”, answered Ji Hoon. Ji Hoon is an architect who really likes green complex matter. He loves nature so every his plan on his masterpiece relates to nature. Minho loves and adores his father much so that he really wants to be alike him someday.

“I don’t want to interfere between my project and personal matter, Minho.. but anyway, if it’s needed, sure I will try to approach that Ma Yeon Woo.. if it’s true that he is really cruel with his daughter..anyway.. he could be dragged to the academic judicial in your university”

“But.. doesn’t Appa have any contribution with our university too?? As a shareholder?,” asked Minho again

Ji Hoon laughed at him.. he knew what his son’s intention. He then replied that he might lend his hand if that Ma Yeon Woo will be ill mannered to Minho.. but as long as he will be still in moderation, Ji Hoon wont have any business with him. Perhaps Minho thought think mature … there couldn’t be mixed between love matter and professionalism.

Minho sighed, but his father kept relax.. then Ji Hoon talked to them.. his work might be gone to the block.. but he perhaps could cooperate with that Ma Yeon Woo..as he has also a good reputation in design.. his competitor is Han Nam Ki..

He told that he had spoken to Ma Yeon Woo that.. he also would ask for participation from some university students on design subject.. Minho was surprised..

“Can I join with it, Appa??,” asked Minho with bright eyes. He never tries it.

“Sure, why not? But for being fair, I wont value your work.. I will ask others to do it.. show me your best work.. I’ve made the concept but I don’t know whether you will be according to my expectation in this big project or not,” answered Ji Hoon with his smile.

Minho nodded.. he would try his best.. so that he wont be kicked by that Ma Yeon Woo. Ji Hoon praised his son’s decision that it might be further better than he must have fought against his territory.

“well.. if that Ma is a wise man.. then he wont kick you out if you don’t give a damn to him… nor if you show your best talent… there would be 4 judges in this competition.. strive for the best, Minho!,” Ji Hoon tapped his son’s shoulder proudly.

Minho actually seemed not satisfied for what he had talked with his father.. but somehow his father is right… he must challenge that Ma Yeon Woo with his skill.. not with his emotional feeling. They enjoyed their tea time together at backyard.

Meanwhile, Eun Young got up from her faint.. in front of her, there was some foods. She was in a hurry eating them, really hungry. She finally searched for her mobile but there wasn’t in that workshop room.

She then castled, thinking about Minho, ”Minho.. “, she sobbed, so sad with her own fate.

“does Minho think about me??,” she fold her knees. She was really sad.. she remembered again about her mom before she died.

“Why father is cruel to us, Eomma?,” once, she said to her mom, she leaned on her mom, Choe.

Choe replied her with gentle voice,”No.. your father is nice.. he just wants to protect us.. when you aren’t allowed to go out.. he is afraid your asthma will relapse, Eun Young,”

Choe knew that her husband has an obsessive obstructive disorder to relationship. She couldn’t avoid it. It was a long story ago, when they met in university, choe was in love with him and his cleverness on design. Yes, Ma Yeon Woo was such a clever university student. Always got good marks, top of ranks. They then fell in love and got married. But then Choe finally knew that Ma Yeon woo wasn’t himself gentle that she thought before. Ma became so aggressive, never let her go out from home. Choe was a poor girl and she was attracted by Ma’s enchanted skills, never thought that Ma has a disorder. But it was already happened. Choe didn’t know what to do..

Ma is actually a nice guy, he still was responsibility for daily life. He still worked for both of them.. it was just.. when they wanted to go out.. he never allows it.. until now to Eun Young… except just for opening the store.

Choe was sick by his attitude… depressed , so that she got cancer. It didn’t mean that Yeon Woo didn’t have any responsibility at all to her.. he still tried to cure her.. but never let her went outside from home.. she took chemotherapy pills.

Eun Young always accompanied Choe. She also didn’t escape from his eyes. Even though she could go to school but never hoped for playing for long outside. She was alone with just Choe whom could tell everything in school to. Eun Young becomes a cheerful little girl, but actually she is really being unconfident girl up till now.

Eun Young remembered what her mom always told before she died.. that her father just wants to protect them from dangerous people or things outside, from hurts.. but why she never finds his protection as a bless??

“Eomma.. I miss you a lot… now none loves me… Appa just can torture me… I miss you a lot, Eomma.. I want to follow you in heaven”

She took a bow, cried in silence.. her voice was so deep in her heart. She hopes Minho will help her after he promised himself to protect her.

Ma Yeon Woo unlocked the door and he opened it. Eun Young just stared at him in emptiness. Then Yeon Woo squatted in front of her and stroke her hair.

“I don’t want you to not obey my commands.. it’s all for your life..,”

Eun Young just still kept quiet. She doesn’t dare at all to argue him.

“Okay??,” said Yeon Woo.

Eun Young nodded. Then he asked her to stand up and out from that crypt.

She laid down on bed.. then went to her desk. She sat and saw her mobile. She didn’t know that actually there was a text between Minho and her father, but Yeon Woo deleted it before she opened it. she thought she was safe from his investigation on mobile.

Then she tried to text Minho,” Minho.. how are you?”. It was late.. very late.. even near to dawn..

Minho didn’t reply it.. he’s sleeping. Eun Young got back to her bed and laid down again on it. She cried.

“does Minho love me?? I don’t have anyone in this world, Eomma… will Minho love me??,” she sobbed again, really was very sad and hopeless. She then was asleep.

Minho was startled when he knew in the morning, he saw his mobile and there was a text from his lover Eun Young. He soon replied it, texted sorry that last night he was very sleepy to think hard all about their relationship. But he also didn’t get the answer from her. She was still serving breakfast for his father.

“today I am gonna go to campus.. you can open the store..,” said Yeon Woo flatly.

Eun Young just nodded,”Ya, Appa.. ,”

He ate all foods she served, then went to campus. Eun Young still did servile to his father, pretended there was nothing happened last night. He said farewell to her and to not forget to open the store.

Then Eun Young got in the house and to her room again. There were some texts from Minho and also miscalls. She didn’t expect that Minho still paid attention to her, then she called him

“I am so sorry.. last night I didn’t call ya, Imja.. I am afraid your father was still angry with you..,” said Minho suddenly when she said hello

“I feel I am still being a looser,” he added again

But again, Eun Young hided her sadness, she replied Minho with her cheerful behavior,”That’s okay, Minho.. anyway, last night.. I was okay”

“I really want to meet you.. but I must go to campus for a while.. in evening.. I’ll call you back,” said Minho.

Eun Young nodded with spirit. But Minho of course a little bit worry if remembering his last text to Yeon Woo.

“perhaps you are okay,” he made sure his words again

Eun Young giggled to him, covering her sadness on the phone, hoping that Minho wouldn’t be so worry about her. Then they made an appointment that Minho would meet her in this evening.

At campus….

Minho just attended some classes.. in afternoon, he saw Ji Young came closed to him.

“Yo.. I got a news,” said Ji Young, opening the conversation

“What’s it??,”

Ji Young showed a campus publication sheet,”here.. a competition.. do you intend to participate??”

Minho grabbed it.. there it was.. a competition to be an assistant to d his father and Ma’s project. Minho pretended to not know anything about it. He was surprised.

“Oh yeah?? Then.. you will join too??,” asked Minho to Ji Young

“hey.. sure.. anyway, my father is part of that tender,” Ji Young a half whispered to him

Minho still was manipulative to his friend,”what? Really?? That must be great for you.. so.. you’ll join it??”

Ji Young nodded. In Minho’s heart, he thought he would be compete with his best friend if it happens.

“sure I will join with it!,” said Ji Young with in spirited.

“well.. I am interested in it too anyway… I’ll try to,” said Minho with his grin.

Ji Young sighed, told Minho that he shouldn’t participate with it, but Minho just queued that he didn’t know before that his father was one of the juries.

“take it easy, Ji Young.. anyway I know my father is strict .. even for my study,” said Minho, he grinned and tapped Ji Young’s shoulder.

Ji Young didn’t know at all.. even though Han Nam Ki, his father isn’t gonna be the jury, but he would be Ji Hoon-Minho’s father- competitor.

They talked about the study, but then Ji Young said abruptly, how Minho’s relationship with Eun Young.

“ah.. I haven’t told you lately,” said Minho. then he told all what happened last time to Ji Young. Ji Young was so startled for what Minho did to Yeon Woo. He was very shocked that Minho dared to challenge Yeon Woo. Ji Young was afraid someday that man would show his fang. But then Minho said perhaps that Ma Yeon Woo isn’t a psychopath.

“That’s crazy.. I don’t believe that man is very cruel to Eun Young, ah..”, said Ji Young.

Then Minho said that… to prove his love to Eun Young and to fight against that Ma, his father told him already to join this competition. Ji Young then supported it.

“Your father is right.. so.. we are competitors now haha!,” cried Ji Young. Minho actually didn’t like it… well.. it’s reached in his mind… this competition might be the war.. but Ji Young seemed not thinking too far about it.

Minho attended Yeon Woo’s lecture again.. for examining his braveness..again, he sat in front of that man. Yeon woo still taught with a relaxing.. but after the class dismissed.. Yeon Woo spoke again…

“I heard that you’ve registered for being an assistant for my project with Lee Ji Hoon..,”

Minho bowed a bit, he still respected him, even though his heart was rumbled.. hate that Yeon Woo man,”Yes.. I will prove myself that I can do the best for my study”

“Yet.. you cant kick me out if I am gonna be expert in it,” added Minho again

“what a such stubborn and big headed boy,” said Yeon Woo

“Well.. Ma-ssi.. I just defend myself … from the cruel man’s attack.. if I want to be bad.. then I can be worse than you do.. but anyway, my bad attitude is only for bad person.. more over to cruel one,” Minho’s answer was alike hot chilly for Yeon Woo’s mouth. Once, he felt having a serious boy who dares to crack his emotion.

Yeon Woo didn’t say any words again.. he left Minho alone..

Minho cynically saw him left the class,” do you think I just can be quiet, Ma Yeon Woo.. you’ll face my father”

Then finally he left class too…

Minho came to Eun Young again.. to store.. they talked inside it..

“what is it Minho?? thank you,” Eun Young was happy because Minho brought for her some bars of chocolates.

Minho hugged her,”miss ya a lot..what did he do to you last night?? Just tell me the truth.. no hide”

Eun Young still hided her last sadness thing,” I am okay, Minho”

“Please be honest to me,” Minho still hugged and stroke her hair.

“I try to find many ways to bring you out from that house.. perhaps you’ll hold a bit, Imja”

Eun Young finally cried, she felt only Minho could feel her pain.

“he’s cruel to me and my late mom,” finally she confessed it.

“ya I know… he thinks he loves you..but he just abuse you… he’s sick,” replied Minho

“please…don’t leave me, Minho,” she still cried on his chest

Minho tried to calm her down.. he could feel her painful.. he was just busy to stroke her head..

“You are a strong girl I know.. that’s why I wanna protect you,”

“If that Yeon Woo still treats you bad.. I wont hesitate to do the same to him,”

Eun Young felt so comfortable in Minho’s hug. She enjoyed it for several minutes and Minho just let her do it.

They kept quite.. until Minho started the conversation again.

“You know, Imja.. I’ll kick your father’s out from campus if he dares to treat me bad.. he doesn’t know that I am a shareholder’s son in there,” he smiled at her. Released his hug to her. Stroke her cheeks.

But it didn’t make Eun Young glad.. she was more worry about it,”don’t Minho.. don’t do it.. I love my father”

She hopes Minho wont play rudely with her father. She really hopes Minho only just loves her and cares about her.

“That’s my caring to you, Imja.. I am angry with your father and I cant stand to hold this grudge,” replied Minho emphatically

Eun Young hugged him.. Minho smiled at her,”anyway, Imja.. I know the risk of it… your father will never dare to me… I have power… even though it’s behind my father’s… he’s so cruel, Imja.. he doesn’t love you at all.. his protection to you is only a fakeness.. don’t you realize it??”

Yes, Eun Young actually realized it .. very realized.. but she couldn’t leave her father alone.. actually.. she has depressed father.. to need mental attention and rehabilitation.. but.. she is still afraid talking with it to people.. even to Minho.

Minho still hugged her.. calmed her down.. for not always sad in her seconds life..

Without their notice, Yeon Woo came into that store.. he saw Minho hugged his daughter. He abruptly grabbed Eun Young’s hand, ordered her to stand behind him

Minho stayed in a relaxing.. he actually didn’t want to fight nor debate..

“get out from my store,” said Yeon Woo

Minho even smiled at him, made him would be in hot temper,” you will never push your daughter to fulfill your psychopath behavior”

Minho was so cold to him. Yeon Woo was irritated with his words. Yeon Woo then grabbed Eun Young’s hand rudely.. pushed her to get into his car.

Minho then grabbed Eun’s hand… drew her body, so that Yeon Woo’s grab finally released from her.

“I WILL NEVER LET YOU HURT HER, YEON WOO! YOU ARE PSYCHO! YOU BASTARD!!”, yelled Minho to him

Yeon Woo was very angry with him.. then.. he tried to punch Minho.

But Minho could evade and then caught his fist,” I will never be afraid of you, Ma Yeon Woo!,”

Eun Young screamt, she’s afraid both Minho and her father would fight in front of the store. Meanwhile some people saw it and they couldn’t do anything.

“Minho.. don’t! don’t hit him, Minho.. I bet you!”

But… it was too late… Minho hit his face

“Voom!”, Yeon Woo fell down, punched by Minho.

It wasn’t finished yet… before Yeon Woo tried to get up.. Minho came to him and raised his collar.. ready again to punch him for second… but Eun Young hugged Minho from back

“Stop it, Minho.. stop! I know my father is cruel to me.. but.. don’t punish him.. please..,”

Well.. some people still saw it.. Minho bugged his eyes to them out… so that.. they didn’t meddle his business with that Yeon Woo..

“DISMISS.. IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!,” yelled Minho to the crowd

Then he dragged Eun Young’s hand.. asked her to ride on the back of his motorbike and then Minho sped it up.. leaving Yeon Woo with his hurt because of punching..

Eun Young hugged Minho’s back while he was riding his motorbike.. she sobbed in silence.. but Minho could feel it.. his sweater was wet with Eun Young’s tears…

To be continued to part 8^th…
