(ch.30)

When Chin shouted that, "Why do you need to go to the doctor's," Yu asked in a confused tone.

Chin told her that it was nothing but she asked "Chin, please tell me, are you sick? Is something wrong with you? Why do you want to see the doctor's" in a curious and worried tone as she looked at her with worry.

Chin answered "I just want to see the doctor's for some medicinal reasons," in a quiet tone as she looks at her fingers.

"I can make the appointment and take you if you really want to go," she said in a soft tone.

Chin smiled and answered "No, it's okay. I'll ask my brother when he gets home," in an assured tone, Yu nodded as Chin stood up and went to her room. For the next few hours, Chin and Yu did their own thing. Around 5 in the afternoon, Yu knocked on Chin's door, then opened the door as she asked "Do you want to go somewhere me," in a curious tone.

Chin shook her head and said "No thanks since my brother won't let me go out," in a soft tone.

"Oh ok, I'll be back in a few hours," she said in a calm tone as she closed the door and left. A few days later, Mei Zhen, Jai Li, and Chin stretched in happiness, Mei Zhen screamed "No more school!" in a relieved voice.

Jai LI asked "Chin, are you ok? You know you seem really off for the past few days," in a worried tone. Chin just nodded even though she wanted to tell her friend everything. Jai Li asked "You guys want to come to my house to celebrate the final day of school," in a curious tone.

"Sorry but I have to go to a doctor's appointment plus my brother won't let me go out today," Chin marked in an apologetic tone with a nervous smile.

Mei Zhen marked "It's okay, we'll call you later so you don't get left out," in a cheerful tone as they walked away while waving, Chin waved back. When Chin into Yu's car, Chin asked "Why are you taking me to the hospital? Where is my brother," in a quiet tone as they put their seat belts on.

Yu answered "Well your brother can't make it so he told me to take it instead, since I'm just home, don't worry, I got your things that the hospital might need, in case, come let's get going," in a cheerful tone as she starts the car. When they called Chin's name, Yu was got up but Chin said "I'll just go by myself, you stay here, and wait for me to come back," then she followed the nurse. In the office, the nurse stated "We'll have you talk to female polices, if you don't know the answer or want to tell, just say you don't remember." Chin nodded.

Soon the people entered the office, they made sure Chin feel comfortable, and begin will questioning. By the end, Chin was crying, the police gave their empathy to her and hope for the best for her. Once they left, the nurse started to run tests on Chin. Chin knew Yu must be worried since two hours passed, Chin said: "Come on, let's go, I'm done with my doctor's appointment."

She saw that it was Chin with a cheerful face, "What took you so long," in a curious voice.

"It took a long time to do some tests, that's why, but let's get going," Yu nodded as they head back home.

As Yu was driving, she asked "So is there anything wrong with you," in a calm tone as she glanced at her.

Chin answered "I don't know but they said that they'll call me," in an uncertain tone.

"Oh yeah, how was your final score? Did you do good cause I heard that if you do good your brother might let you go out a bit earlier than he said," Yu commented in a candid tone? Chin had an upset face so Yu patted her ber and said "It's okay if you didn't a get good score," in an assured tone.

"I got 200 out of 260," she marked in a cheerful tone with a happy smile.

Yu said "Chin, you had me worried that you did bad but that's extremely amazing, I'm sure your brother will let you go out," in a heartwarming tone with a small smile.

"I hope so, I really want to hang out with my friends and have as much fun as I can before going back to school," she marks in a hopeful tone as she had a long face, Yu pats her back. When they got back home, they saw that the guys were home already, watching TV. "Oh, you guys are finally home, why were you guys gone for so long? And is there anything wrong with my Chin," Lai asked in a curious voice as he turns around?

Chin answers "Oh it's just that some tests took a long time to do and they said they'll call me or you to tell if there's anything wrong with me," in a calm tone as Yu and her went next to them.

"Ah, ok, what about your test score," he asked. Chin had a nervous look as she begins to sweat, Lai said "Chin, spill it right now," in a serious tone with an emotionless look.

Yu interpreted "Lai, calm down, at least she tried her best," in a reassuring tone, which made him even more worried about her score.

Chin went from nervous to cheerful and answered "I got 200 out of 260," in a contented tone as the guys stood up covering their mouths. Lai went towards her and asked "Chin, are you playing with me? It's quite high," in a curious tone, she shook her head as she shows her score. The guys were really surprised to see her score, "Wait let me take a picture for Jinyu," as in he took out his phone and her paper.

"Wow, Chin, you did a great job, we're proud of you," Zhe commented in a joyful tone as Xaing agreed with him.

Xaing marked "You did better than me, when I was your age, I think I got 160," in a proud tone.

Yu giggled and added "Yeah, it was fun watching his mom beat his butt," in an amused voice as he softly hit her, Chin just slightly smiled.

"Well if that's all I'll be going to my room now," she marked in a calm tone as she grabbed her score paper from her brother and went to her room. Chin was really happy that everyone is happy with her test score, but she felt so worthless and wanted to die. Chin went into a depression after that, but she hid it from everyone. When Yu came to get her for dinner, Chin noted "I'm not hungry and I'm tired," in a calm voice.

"Oh ok," and Yu left. Truthfully, Chin has slowly started to stave herself, she always goes to sleep to avoid feeling hungry. Chin woke up at 6 am, she looked at herself in the mirror, she looks terrible, so she started to apply makeup to look refreshed. Chin looked at herself in the mirror, she also notice that she had gotten skinner, 85 pounds is how much she weighs now. Yu asked "You look good today, are you going somewhere," in a curious tone.

"Thanks, I'm going to ask if I can see my friends for a bit," she answered in a calm tone.

Yu asked "Just friends or do you mean Bojing," in a teasing voice.

Chin shook her head and answered, "Just my friends, he and I don't hang out in person, only over the phone." Yu nodded as she was plating the food, she said "Chin can you go wake up Xaing and tell Zhe and Lai that breakfast is ready," in a calm tone as she brought the food to the dining table.

Chin went into Yu and Xaing's room, she shook Xaing as she said "Xaing, wake up, it's time to go eat breakfast, wake up," in a calm tone as Xaing begins to move around as he groaned. "Wake up, Yu is eating your favorite food," she slightly yelled, making him sit up.

Xaing looked at her shocked as he said "What? She's eating my favorite food," in a shocked tone.

Chin smiled and answered "No but now that you're awake, get dressed and go eat breakfast," in a serious tone, then she quickly runs off as Xaing sighed and got out of bed. She knocks on the bathroom door, telling her brother that breakfast is ready then she went into her brother's room. Chin shook Zhe, saying "Zhe, wake up, go eat breakfast," in a calm tone.

He put the blanket over his head and mumbled "Chin, what do you want so early," in an annoyed tone as he turns away from her.

She answered "Zhe, wake up, I saw my brother eating your favorites snacks and drinks," in an urgent tone as he popped up.

"What? He's eating my favorite snacks and drinking without me," he shouted as he looks at her.

She smiled and answered "No since you're fully awake right now, get dressed and go have breakfast," in a calm tone as she walked away. As she was walking, she bumped into her brother, she kindly said "Excuse me," as she went around her with a small grin on her face as he started to giggle a bit.

While they all were sitting, except Chin, Yu uttered "Um, Chin, how did you wake Xaing? Why do Xaing and Zhe look a bit upset," in a curious tone.

"I didn't do anything to them, I just woke them up as anyone would," she answered in an innocent tone with a confused face as Lai was quietly giggling.

Lai mumbles "With a little mean trick," in a cheerful tone, he could see that Yu was confused, he commented "Oh it's nothing, come on let's eat before food losses its heat," as he started to eat. They all were eating except Chin, who said "I'm not hungry but Lai can I go out with my friends since I have a good score on my test," in a curious tone.

He looked at her and answered "After you eat at least half of your rice, you can go out," in an earnest pitch, she just sighed as she sat down and begins to eat. Chin got ready, she was planning to tell her friends what happened, hoping they wouldn't think bad of her. She wanted to tell her brothers but she was worried that she will ruin her brothers' reputations if everyone found out. Chin told said "Goodbye, I'll be back in a few hours," and left.

When she got to the park, she saw the warm smiles on her friends' faces, she felt joy after a bit. "How are you guys?" Jai Li asked in a joyful voice.

Chin asked "Why do you guys look so happy? Did something happen?" in a confused tone.

Mei Zhen "I'm just happy to see you guys," in a calm voice.

"I might be able to find my sister, we found her name, age, and where she works," in an excited tone.

Da-Chung added "My mom is going to give birth any day now," with an excited face.

Jai Li asked "Chin, are you ok? You seemed so off for the past few days. Is there something you want to tell us?" in a worried voice.

Chin was quiet for a moment, she smiled and answered "I'm ok, I've been really tired. Don't worry," in an assured voice. Da-Chung knew she was lying, but she nodded along with the other girls. They just sat somewhere on the grass at the park while talking about many things. A few hours later, Jai Li blurted "I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be back," leaving.

"Me too," Mei Zhen added and followed Jai Li.

Once they were far enough, Da-Chung marked "Chin, what is wrong? I know something is wrong, you can't hide it. Just tell me, I promised won't tell anyone."

Chin knew she can't hide it from her friend of many years, she answered "Da-Chung, last week after I dropped off Mei Zhen and Jai Li home, three guys, around our age, came up to me and started to harass me. I almost got away but they were too fast. They brought me to an empty alley and gang-raped me. They just left me there when they were done, I was in so much pain and I was bleeding so much." At this point, Chin was crying her eyes out and Da-Chung pulled her for a tight hug with tears streaming down her face.

Da-Chung started to say "I'm so sorry that you happened to go through that. You must have been suffering from all of this on your shoulders. I'm here for you and I'm really happy that you told me this. Remember that I still love you and if you ever want to talk or just cry about this, you can call me." in a comforting voice. Chin and she cried together for a bit.

Da-Chung asked "Have you told that police? Did you go to the hospital, yet?"

She nodded, "I went to the hospital yesterday to do tests and I also talked to the police there too. I got my results this morning, I don't have sexually transmitted diseases or am pregnant. Now, all I can do is wait to see if they get the guys," in a calm voice as she hiccuped

"Does your brothers know or anyone?"

"No, you're the first person to know this, so please don't tell anyone until I'm ready," Chin mumbled in a quiet tone.

Da-Chung hugged her again and softly said "Well, I'm great you told me first and I promise I won't tell anyone. I just wanted to let you know that you're are a strong person." She added "I hope those disgusting basters get sent to jail for many years," in a bitter tone.

"How do I look?" Chin quickly asked.

"You look fine, why?" confused.

Chin looked past Da-Chun and answered, "Jai Li and Mei Zhen are coming back."

Da-Chung also asked, "How do I look?"

"You also look fine, but your eyes are a little puffy." Da-Chung nodded; they both started to pretend to laugh to make sure they don't look like they were crying. Mei Zhen marked "Sorry we took so long, the bathroom was kinda far. Anyways, what were you guys doing while we were gone?"

"Oh, we just talked about random things," Da-Chung lied. They talked for a few more hours as they took in the scene of the sunny day with the breezy wind. Around 3 pm, they all got calls except Chin. Da-Chung screamed "Sorry, you guys, but I have to leave, my mom is in labor," as she ran off.

Jai Li noted "They might've found my sister, I got to go too," dashing off.

"Sorry, Chin, but my mom has to go to work early than expected, so I have to go babysit my brother," as they both walk back to their houses. Chin heard someone crying in Yu's and Xaing's apartment
