(ch.29) Trigger warning

Chin shouted "Yu!! You finally announced it to the world," in an excited tone as she hugged her.

Chin's friend was confused as Yu smiled and patted her on her back, Xaing came behind Yu with a confused face. One of Chin's friends asked "Chin, you knew this whole time," in a confused tone.

Chin turned to her and answered "Yeah, this is their apartment so I knew for a few months," in a cheerful tone.

Her friends clutched their chests as one of them say "Chin, you betrayed us, we promised each other that we'll tell each other all of our secrets but you kept this a secret from us, we feel hurt," in a sarcastic, grieve tone as they fell on the floor.

Chin walked to them and answered "You guys stop embarrassing yourselves, I had to keep this a secret because my brother might kill me if I told anyone," in a joyful tone as her friends got up.

Her other friend said "Fine, we'll forgive you this time, but if it happens again, we will punish you," in a harsh tone, they gave her the death glare as she nodded. Yu asked "Oh did my cousin and your brother come home yet," in a curious tone as she came to sit down.

"Yeah, just to change clothes then they left again," she replied in a calm tone as Chin and her friends sat down while Xaing sat on the other cube chair.

"Did you guys eat yet," Yu asked, Chin nodded, "Ok, that's good but anyways, I'm going to go take a nap, I didn't get much sleep last night," in a calm tone as she got up, Chin nodded, she went to her room.

"I'm going to go take a nap too, wake me up if you guys need anything," Xaing said, following Yu into their room. Chin's friends and she smiled at each other as they quietly celebrated. After an hour, they went back into Chin's room to clean the mess they made. At 2 pm, Jai Li and Mei were ready to leave, Chin said "Let me tell Yu or Xaing that I'm going out," as she walked toward their room. When she entered, Yu and Xaing were still sleeping, so she decided to text Xaing that she was out with her friend and she'll be home around 5 or 6 pm.

They went to eat at a cafe for a bit, then they went walking together while talking about funny stuff. At 6 pm, Chin waved goodbye to Mei Zhen at her house, Mei Zhen noted "Chin, it's getting dark so be safe," in a cheerful voice.

Chin nodded and added, "I will, have a good night." Once Mei Zhen closed the door, Chin started to walk back home. There weren't many people on the streets or sidewalks since many people have gone home, Chin felt lonely since she hasn't been out this dark by herself. A guy appeared in front of her, she saw that it was the guy that tried to get Da-Chung like two days ago but this time he had two other guys with him.

He said "Hey, pretty lady. What are you doing out here by yourself?" in a curious tone. Chin ignores them and passes them. The guy grabbed her arm, he demanded "Hey! I'm talking to you. Answer people when they're talking to you," in a serious voice.

Chin criticized "Why should I answer you? Let go of me! I don't care about you plus I need to go home," in an annoyed tone, trying to get out of his grip. Inside, Chin was really scared, but she knows she can't show it.

He shouted "Why should I let go of you? There's no one to help you like your friend," with an apathetic voice.

"I will call the police on you, don't think I'm scared of some losers," in a disgusted tone.

The guys chuckled, the first guy said "Do it. I dare you to," in a sarcastic voice as he loosen his grip on her. Chin slowly reaches into her bag, but then she stomped on his feet and ran as fast as she could. Sadly, she was too slow as the two other guys caught her and punched her in the stomach. The guy, that she stomped on, came in front of her and slapped her as she started to cry. He shouted "Since you want to leave that bad then I'll let you go," in a calm tone.

Hering that made her stop crying for a second as she asked "Really?" in a naive voice.

"But, you'll have to sleep with each one of us," he continued with a smirk on his face.

Chin split on his face and snapped "In your disgusting dream," with bitterness. That made her earn another slap. He grabbed her face and scolded "We'll just take you by force. Bring her to an empty place," in a cold voice as his guys nodded. They tied her arms and legs and put something in her mouth. Soon they brought her to an empty factory and set her on the cold ground; they untie her arms and legs and tied her arms to a pole. The first guy went on top of her as Chin cried and was pleased with them, but he just ignore it as he kisses her down and slowly stripped her.

Once the guy was about to take off her pants, she kicked him, then he snapped "You bitch! You two put off her pants." The guys obeyed, the first guy pull down his pants, and started to rape her while slapping her. He yelled "How dare you kick me." as he continues to slap her.

Chin was in so much pain, her face was burning from the slaps, and between her legs felt like it was being ripped apart. She just kept crying and was pleased with the guys to let her go. One by one, they kept raping her until they were satisfied, then they untied her before they left. Chin was lying on the hard, cold ground, feeling so numb. After a while, she slowly got up and got dressed even though she was in so much pain and was bleeding. She realized that she was close to the cemetery where her mom was, so she slowly walked to the gates and just cried there for a while.

Around 9 pm, she walks back to the apartment. She heard some shouting in the apartment, she opened the door, as soon as her brother saw her, he hugged her and asked "Where have you been," in-between tears.

She hugged him back and said "I went to see mom for a bit," in a calm tone. She felt so disgusted with herself as she was touching her brother with germs.

"Why didn't you call or text me," he continues to cry.

She lied "My phone died, stop crying, I'm back now. I'm sorry for making you worried again," in a calm tone as she wipes his tears.

He nodded and he commented "As long as you're okay and nothing bad happened to you," in a relaxed tone as he slowly stopped crying. When he calms down, Chin said "I'm really tired, I'm going to my room now," in a quiet tone as he nodded, then she went to her room. Once she closed her door, she just fell apart and cried again. Chin couldn't bring herself to tell her brother after seeing him with so much worry and warmth. Chin got her pajamas and went to take a shower.

In the shower, Chin kept scrubbing her body over and over with hot water until it was bright red. In the end, she just sat in the bathtub and cried more as hot water was rinsed her. Throughout the night she couldn't sleep as the memories kept flooding her mind, she tossed and turned, she just sat up and cried more.

At 2 am, she was still crying, but then she heard a knock she heard Yu's voice asking "Chin, are you okay? May I come in," in a soft tone.

Chin didn't answer, Yu marked "I'm coming in," as she opened the door. Chin was facing her back Yu, Yu went next to her as she put her hand on Chin's shoulder but then Chin moved. She asked "Chin, why are you crying? Are you really okay," in a gentle tone as she tried to make Chin face her.

Chin replied "I'm okay, I was just thinking about my mom, and please don't touch me," in a quiet voice as she pulled Yu's hands off of her.

"Ok, but at least face me," in a soft tone so Chin turned toward her without showing her face, "Come on, I've seen many crying faces," as Yu lifted her face. When Yu saw Chin's face, she had a red mark on her face, Yu slightly yell "Chin, what happened to your face," in a worried tone.

Chin lied "It's just a sunburn, I was in the sun for too long," in a nervous tone as she covered it with her hand.

Yu got up and left, she came back with a cool cloth, and she put it on Chin's red mark, "This should help you a bit," in a calm tone as she sat in front of her. "Chin, I want to ask if you really went to see your mom because you seem a little off," in a soft tone.

She smiled and responded "I'm fine, I really went to see my mom," in an assured tone.

"Um, okay, if there's anything that you need to tell me, you can," in a calm tone. When Yu said that. Chin started to tear up, Yu was a little shocked, she asked "What's wrong? Why are you tearing up? Did I say something wrong," in a concerned tone. Chin shook her head as she put her head on Yu's shoulders, Yu didn't know what to do so she started to make circles on her back with the palm of her hand.

After a long time, Chin finally stopped crying, Yu asked "Chin, are you sure you're okay? Why were you crying so hard like you got hurt by someone," in a worried tone.

Chin shook her head and said "No, I'm okay, I just got sad thinking about my mom," in a calm tone as she wipes her last few tears, then she looks at Yu with a smile on her face.

"Are you sure," she asked in a worried, Chin nodded, "Okay if you say so, anyways you should go to sleep now, it's too early to be up," in a soft tone as she stood up.

Chin noted "Yu, can you stay with me or, if you want to go back room, can you go get my brother? I don't want to be alone," in a faint voice, she gave her a desperate look.

Yu sighed and said "I don't want to go wake up your brother since it's in the middle of the night so I'll just stay with you," with a quiet voice. As she sat on Chin's bed, she asked "So what am I supposed to do," in a confused tone with an awkward look.

Chin answered "I don't know. If you're tired, you can sleep here but you're not, just do whatever you want," in a soft tone as she looks down, Yu hummed. After a while, Yu and Chin fell asleep.

In the morning, Lai noted "Chin, don't forget that we have that press to go in a bit," as they were sitting on the couch, Chin nodded. She got dressed after others ate breakfast, "Ok, I'm ready. Brother, are you ready yet?"

"Yeah," he answered as he came out of his room. Chin was standing aside as her brother was cleaning up the rumors, then someone asked "Then who is she?"

"That girl is my sister, Qing Chin," he looked at her then everyone looked at her, some begin to take pictures of her.

Another asked "Why didn't you tell us that you have a sister? And do you have any other siblings?" Lai answered all their questions, after an hour or so, Lai said his goodbyes to everyone as Chin followed into his car. He dropped her off and left for his job. When got into the apartment, she shouted "Shoot, I forgot to tell Lai to schedule me a doctor's appointment," in an upset tone. Just then she heard someone.
