The Terrible Past

Jin's mom was heartbroken, first her husband died now it's Jin who's a temporary suspect. She can't speak everytime she's seeing Jin. While Yin, who has a hatred with Jin, was trembling looking at Jin.

If it isn't because of Jin, the father of their family would be still alive.

But what was the reason why Jin's missing that day?

It was a question that Yin and her mom can't answer.

"Mom. Please tell me Jin is innocent."

Yin is having a suspiciously thought. Neither did he defend himself by those thugs, or Jin's intention was to really kill them.

Of course she knew her brother wasn't like that. Despite her hatred. Jin never show any hurtful moves.

"He is.."

Their mom was staring blanky. She doesn't know what to do. It was a unexpectedly tragedy.

Days has passed, Jin's trial has complete. He was sentence not guilty.

Jin explained everything, he just defend himself by those thugs. He explained that, his father shielded him times by times. Jin's father caught all the hitting knife.

After his mom heard of it, she suddenly fell on her knees. She heard how brutal her husband was murdered. But.

That was a lie. Jin didn't told the truth about his father's death.

POV THOUGHTS (YIN)

As we continue to walk home. We talked a lot about our life. The sun was setting down. We arrived at one of my friend's house, and goodbye. Until, I and Michelle remain together.

Michelle is my childhood and best friend. We used to hang out a lot. She also always giving me advice, and without her, i guess i and my brother is wrecked apart.

After all of the tragedy, mom was so depressed. She didn't speak Jin, but only me.

Days has passed, until she can't take it anymore.

One day, i saw her packing her things. I was in shocked that time. It was too late. I always thought that she'll recover anytime, but i'm wrong.

After that, i came back to my room, little didn't i expect that, she came to my room and sat down at my bed.

She told me. "I can't take it anymore, come with me. Let's leave this place."

I replied. "What about Jin?"

That moment, she just stared at me. Speechless.

I now know her intention. She wanted to leave Jin.

"Just the two of us. Let's go."

I glance at her, little i didn't know that my eyes was filling with tears. I rose up from bed and ran away.

Perfectly timing, at the street. Michelle saw me crying and ask.

She comforted me that time, and gave me courage to face all the problem in our family right now.

So i came back to house and told my mom.

"I'm not coming, mom."

She stared at me pitifully and i didn't expect her words.

"Okay, here."

She handed me a paper. It was a paper with a written address to it, and also a phone number.

"Go to this place or call this number. It was my new number. Do it when you're ready."

"Ready?"

"Ready to leave this place."

She suddenly turned her back at me and tilt her head a little bit to me. "I can't see Jin as my son anymore. I'm sorry."

That words really shook me out. I didn't expect her to say something like that.

After that, I didn't heard anything from her. I would if i go to the address that she told me.

Ever since that day. Jin never stop searching for mom. Until one day, he gave up.

I received an email, and it says.

[ HELLO YIN, IT'S ME MOM. I WANTED TO KNOW HOW ARE YOU NOW. BY KNOWING THAT THIS EMAIL WAS RECEIVED, I CAN SURE THAT YOU'RE OKAY. I MISS YOU. PLEASE I WANT YOU TO LEAVE THAT PLACE ALREADY, AND LET'S START A NEW LIFE. BY THE WAY I'M OKAY NOW. IF YOU'RE EXPECTING THAT I FOUND ANOTHER MAN, YOU'RE WRONG. I'M LIVING ALONE, AND HAVE A JOB. YOUR FATHER IS THE ONLY ONE FOR ME, BYE! :)]

I kept the email, along with the paper address that she gave me. I was anxious that Jin will found this out. So i hide it in a sight that can't be found.

I know that i chose the right decision, thanks to Michelle.

"Hey Mich. Wanna come over?"

Huh?

"Mich?"

Michelle stop in her walking, i don't know why. So i came to get her.

"Hey, Yin. Isn't that Jin..?"

I asked her.

"Jin? Where?"

She pointed her arm and looked at me with a widened eyes, i was confused, what with her. So i looked out and saw.

"....!"

I saw a woman pointing a gun in the back of the head of my brother. I was in panic at the moment, i immediately grab my phone in my pocket to call police but Michelle stop me.

"What?! Call the police! My brother is gonna get killed!"

I shoutly whispered. I don't know why she suddenly stop me, but then she told me something.

"That's the Phoenix gang! Even the police are afraid of them!"

"Eh? Then if that's the case, my brother will be leave out dead?"

I looked at Jin, and he wasn't in panic all, is he not afraid?

Michelle looked at me and grabbed my arm, she forcefully pulled me.

"Mich! I can't leave my brother! He's gonna get killed!"

"We don't have a choice! That is a very powerful gang, you know! Let's just pray that they won't kill Jin!"

"Please, i can't let him die..."

This was the first we saw something like this, plus. It's my brother that is held as victim. Of course we will be in panic.

"Yin, listen. We're all gonna die here if you... Arghh! Okay, let's save him."

"Thank you.."

We came back where the spot is but, we saw empty.

My brother wasn't there now, the lady too. I was too anxious, as if my heart is gonna explode to nervousness.

"Could it be.."

"No!

Michelle shouted at me.

"Don't think like that, he's safe. Let's just go home now.

"Mich, are you saying this to let me not worry?"

"I'm serious, i can sure he's safe."

Without any words, i trusted her. So we came home and someone opened the door. Thankfully, my brother is alive.

"Jin. Are you.."

Yin was relief, after she saw Jin opened the door of their home. She wanted to hug him but, she remembered the harsh words she said earlier.

She at least wanted to ask if Jin was okay, but Jin came in straightly to his room. She also wondered if he has not eaten yet. So she cooked food.

"Oh, my cooking is so good!!"

She shouted to let Jin heard it. She put it in that way instead of asking him. She think the mood will be awkward if she ask him directly with a different attitude.

'Afterall. I can't say sorry. I can't even look him at the eye.'

Jin didn't came down

'He seems okay, but.. Those gang something might comeback..!'

The nigh has passed, it's morning.

WooMin made Alexandr retired. She wanted him to have an enjoyable and happy life. As for now, WooMin was taking care of him.

She let him live on the mansion, and have a relaxing times. She was feeling guilty for making him a butler.

'He did all the things here... I feel sorry.'

while WooMin is sipping a coffee at the garden. A beautiful lady made an appearance.

"You're here."

The lady was wearing a white tuxedo, has a red hair.

"You will be Ruby, my right hand."

"I'd pledge my life for it. Lady Jade."

Ruby then bow.

EARLIER.

"WooMin, what about finding your right hand?" Alexandr ask.

"I've been thinking about it." WooMin touch her jaw while thinking, then Alexandr suddenly speak.

"I know someone."

WooMin cocked her head.

"Who is it?"

Alexandr slowly smiled.

"She fits perfectly as Ruby."

CURRENT TIME.

Ruby was standing in front of WooMin, she was observing her. WooMin's trying to figure out why Alexandr take a good favor on her.

"What's your weaknesses?"

"I.. Do i really have to tell, Lady Jade..?"

Ruby confidently ask WooMin. She was anxious that once she found her weaknesses. She might dominate her.

"Every member here, has their weaknesses at first. Guess what." WooMin replied.

"Hmm?"

"They're weaknesses free now."

Ruby easily get WooMin's point. She just wanted to erase her weaknesses.

"I only have one weakness."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Ruby look down and slowly tell the word. "My little sister."

WooMin's mouth was open slightly, it was a very common weakness for everyone, but somehow. She found it unique in her different perspective.

Most of the members of Phoenix gang has their different weaknesses. There's someone who is afraid of ghost, afraid of being beneath underwater (Thalassophobia).

Those members were put through a extreme test to overcome their weaknesses. But this.

'This is a weaknesses that can't be overcome.'

WooMin rose from her sits and tap Ruby's shoulder. "Welcome."

She greeted her welcome as a part of the largest and the most powerful gang in the country and also, as her right hand.

She then walked and found Alexandr standing in the entrance door.

"Are you going?" He ask.

WooMin glance at Alexandr's eyes.

"Yes and also, investigate his made up accident."

"I'm pretty sure it's bigger than the accident he made up." Alexandr replied

"Yeah.."

WooMin was staring blanky, she was curious and somehow nervous about that.

"Anyways, im going now."
