Chapter 31

"What's wrong? Why you are sitting like this?" asked Eun. She entered Tae Jin's room because she has to go to her own room. And without Tae Jin's room, she could not enters her room. Tae Jin was sitting on his bed. He was thinking something so deeply that he didn't notice Eun come to his room. In reply, Tae Jin could not say anything. He just took a breath and lost in his mind again. Eun could not stand anymore. She felt sad for him. She understands that Tae Jin became worried and disappointed after the lady told him those. Tae Jin was sitting on the bed but his feet touch the floor and he put his arms on his thigh and put the hands on his cheek. Eun also sits beside him and acted like she is also very disappointed with something.

"What's wrong with you now?" asked Tae Jin with a very sad voice.

"I was just thinking, what if I was you. How I feel when someone blames me for what I didn't do. You know, I also face this long time ago. I was so helpless back then. Someone blame me for what I didn't do. But I didn't sit like this then. If this could solve the matter, then I would surely sit like this that day. But I think it won't work." said Eun in the same style how Tae Jin asked her the question.

"You face this? But how? And when?" asked Tae Jin being curious.

"A long time ago, and a long story. If I tell you, will you be happy and stop being worried?" asked Eun.

"Yes, I will," said Tae Jin and turn his body and face to Eun so that he could see her easily.

"I have a dad, stepmother, and stepbrother. My dad used to love me very much. But after my new mom came with his son, everything changed. They used to love the song very much and they never take care of me after that. I felt so alone. I have to stay alone in my room. My dad used to tell me good stories before the lady came. But after that, he never comes to tell me stories. He used to say that, you are grown up now. If you want to know stories, you should read on your own. I can't stay alone while I have nothing to do. So, I choose books as my company. My stepbrother used to bully me all the time when he was at home. So, I always want that he never comes home. My life became like this for him. If he would not there, my life could be perfect. One day, he came to me. I was reading a scary story. I was sitting on my bed. But suddenly he takes the book from me and I startled. Then he began bullying me telling me that I am fearsome. I could not bear that and start to fight with him. I have a photo frame of my mom on my table. My brother broke that while we were fighting. But I am sure that he broke it willingly. I got very angry and pushed him strongly. I didn't want to hurt him but he falls on the broken frame and he got seriously injured. My dad and stepmother rushed to the spot and saw that my brother was fallen on the floor and his arm was bleeding. His mother got very angry at me and start to yell at me. I went to my dad to tell him what exactly happened. But my dad also didn't listen to me and he also starts to scold me. No one was there to listen to me. It wasn't my fault. If he didn't tease me like this and he didn't break my mom's picture, I wouldn't push him like that. And after that day, my dad took a very strong decision and that was we can't stay together. And as I am nothing to the woman(stepmother). I have to say goodbye. My father takes me to my granny and I have to stay with her. Since that day, my dad even didn't want to know about me. He is pretending like I am nothing to him." said Eun and stopped. Her sights were looking hurt. Her voice got damaged when she was saying these. Listening to her Tae Jin got sad for her. But he has many questions about her. So, he asked her, "Then why do you leave your granny's home?"

"I have to study in a big and famous place. That's why I left the village when I grew up and I could take care of myself," said Eun.

"How old were you when your father put you with your granny?" asked Tae Jin.

"I was 11 years old," said Eun and lost in her mind. After that, both of them stay quiet. The room was not too much lighting. So, they can't see each other's faces clearly. After some time Tae Jin broke the silence and ask,

"You never want to talk with your dad?" "No, But I get news of there," said Eun.

"How?" asked Tae Jin surprisingly.

"The lady who lived beside my dad's home, I talk with her sometime. And she gave me all the news. But it's been a year since I haven't communicated with her." said Eun and stayed calm.

"Okay, it's getting late. I think I have to go to my room," said Eun and start to go leave.

"Hey Eun!" shouted Tae Jin. Eun was going down by stairs. She stopped in the middle and look at Tae Jin. Tae Jin never saw her those eyes. So, he got afraid but after a moment he could understand why she looked at him like that.

"Sorry, Ms. Eun," said Tae Jin gently.

"Yes?" said Eun in a normal face.

"Thanks for supporting me," said Tae Jin and smile.

"Don't be too happy, if you do something wrong, I will not support you. Mind it," said Eun and left. Tae Jin looked at her leaving and when there was no sign of her, he closes the door but didn't lock it, which was under his bed. Then he lying down on his bed.

"Such a sorrowful story!" said Tae Jin to himself. Suddenly an ant bites his neck. He felt like someone pokes him with a needle. He searches for it with his hand on his neck and found a little ant. It was dancing with its legs amazingly.

"Why you are alone and you come to bite me? People say I bite others for drinking blood. But why you bite me? Is there a necessity for you to be very handsome like me? Well, you can't." said Tae Jin to the ant and then he throw it. Suddenly he remembers that he got bitten by something in the same place in New York's hotel room.

"Why ants keep following me?" asked Tae Jin to himself. He was thinking about himself and his career. He remembers his pre-debut day, how excited he was because his dream was going to be true. He was so happy that day. He thought that if he became an idol, then everyone will praise him. He will get a lot of fame and love from the public. But he never thought that such a thing will happen. But what could he do? People would not believe him without proof. But how could he find the proof which could help him from this danger? He could not find any way. Thinking of these, he falls asleep. Eun also thinking about her life. What will she do after she goes back from here. How long she could stay here for without no reason? She thinks that she will leave the house. She likes it but she can't stay here for a long time. It's not her house. Moreover, she can't quit her job no matter what. If she quit her job, who will give her money? How she will finish her study? She also falls asleep thinking about these. When she woke up, it's 5.am. She has to go upstairs. She climbs up by stairs and opens the door. She was under the bed of Tae Jin. She shocked to see Tae Jin's hand which was falling on the floor. "What happened to him?" thought Eun and come close to his hand. Suddenly he put his hand on Eun's head. It was so heavy that Eun gets hurt. He was wearing a bracelet on his hand. So, Eun's wig got stuck with his bracelet and when he moved his hand, Eun's wig also took by him with his bracelet.

"Aish! Why he has to wear these things!" said Eun to herself and she got angry. She came out from under the bed and stand up. Tae Jin was sleeping without any tension. He was lying on his hand and the wig was under his hand. Eun wants to take it. But how she will take it, she could not find a way. Every time when she going to take that, Tae Jin starts to move.

"Why he moves so much on his sleep?" Eun said slowly and got angry. After some time, she succeeds to take it and wear it.

"Ah! What a relief!" said Eun and leave from there. When Tae Jin woke up listening to an alarm clock, it's 6 o'clock. He wants to sleep more but the morning's sun on his face he could not stay lying anymore. Someone opened the window as the weather was nice. He understands that Eun did it. He goes to the washroom and after some time when he comes to the living room, he saw that everyone was there and they were talking yo each other. Ha, Joon's mom was there too. So, Tae Jin didn't stay there for longer and he went outside but before that, he called his teammate to go with him. As it was there jogging time, nobody refuses him and join him. After they all leave, the lady goes to the kitchen and starts talking with Eun. She was questioning a lot. And Eun has to answer all of it.

"What are you making today?" asked the lady.

"I will ask them what they like to have," said Eun.

"You don't know about their choice?" asked the lady surprisingly.

"No, I have joined here recently. So, I don't know anything about them," replied Eun in a short.

"Oh! Then what happened to the old maid?" asked the lady.

"I don't know," replied Eun. The lady talking continuously and Eun was just listen to her and give replies affirmatively. That's why the lady liked Eun and continue to talk with her. Eun finished her work in the kitchen and go for cleaning the house. She was thinking about how she told Tae Jin that she has to leave. After all of the seven came to their home, they all get tired and they come to have breakfast. There was breads, jelly, butter, sugar, and chocolate syrup on the table. They all love bread so much. After they eat, They went to their own rooms for changing clothes. They all surprised to see their own room. Because it was so neat and clean that it looks like someone did it with her magic. "The boy is talented," said Jung Hwa to himself. Everyone likes Eun within a short time. But when they come to the living room, they all get disappointed because Eun was saying about leaving this house as she cannot lose her job. But Tae Jin didn't want to let her go. Because he knows that it is too dangerous for her to live alone. But she wants to go no matter what.

"If I won't go, my manager will fire me and he won't give me money. What could I do after I loose my job?" said Eun.

"You can't go now. I will not let you." said Tae Jin.
