Moving Out

(door closing)

Si Woo's Stepmom: You come. Did your father say something to you? Did he call you or something?

Si Woo: Well, he said he will stay at the company.

"Going to my mom hometown is the secret that only dad, me and a few of people knows. I can't talk about it."

Si Woo's Stepmom: Ok, then. Go wash yourself. You stink. Do something about your bruises, I don't care what happened to you, but I don't want to explain this to your father. Got it.

Si Woo: (smile) yes, stepmom. (I can't afford to make my father stress out, he already got his hand full, and I can't be more burden to him) (thinking)

And I am going out so there is only you and maids in the mansion. Don't try to break my things all right.

Si Woo: (what about Si Bok and Si Wong)?

Si Woo's stepmom: Don't bother them. They are going to the vacation with their girlfriends. Forget about their mom and going out with their girlfriends. Really capable boys. Nevertheless, it is none of your business. Watch the house when I gone, got it?

Si Woo: "wait, do Si Bok and Si Wong have girlfriends?" As far as I know, they don't have girlfriends. Well, they are only nice to me when in front of my father, in fact hostile to me. Better to not care about them.

That night, I waited for entire night, but I didn't hear a ring from both Ri Nee and Si Yin. I had been trying to reach them since that day, I don't know Ri Nee's house address, but I know where Si Yin's restaurant is.

Si Yin's Mother: "Oh, it is Si Woo. Come inside. What do you want to eat, aunty will prepare something for you. Tell me, what do want to you eat? Pancake? Or home-made spicy ice noodles? Or black bean-pasted noodles?"

Si Woo: "I will take whatever you make aunty, after all I like all the dishes that you make."

Si Yin's Mother: "Oh Hoo, starting to talk smoother boy. Wait a sec, aunty will prepare, free of charge."

Si Woo: "No aunty, I will pay."

Si Yin's Mother: "Come one, consider this as a treat, I am very grateful for your help to Si Yin when she is preparing for the exam. Thanks to you, she said she can pass the exam this time. You won't deny a mother's gratitude, right?

Si Woo: (silence) "Aunty, I won't deny your gratitude but let me pay because I want to help aunty too, eating your cooking is like eating my mom's. Only because of you, aunty, I once again have a chance to try what my mom's cooking taste like. Also, Si Yin's help me a lot at school and aunty allowed me to come and eat here at any time. I am very thankful for that. Also, my mom used to teach me, not to take advantage of others and my father teaches to always repay the kindness of people. Please, take this."

Si Woo suddenly stand up and hand the white paper bag with both hands with respect, lowering his head a little, ...

Si Yin's Mother: "You have a good heart, and great parents. You are a good child." She holds Si Woo's hand with both her hands, "I also thank you too, young man.", "Our business isn't doing well lately, I think someday we have to close the shop but until then feel free to come and eat, ok?"

(Smile)

"Somehow, the way adults smile is all the same, my mom and father used to have a same smile as that." "A warm smile".

Si Woo: "And aunty, where is Si Yin? I have been trying to reach her for a long time, but I can't. Is she at home?"

Si Yin's Mother slowly walked over and sat down face to face with Si Woo.

"Did you wait long? Here is the food, all are aunty's special homemade ones" (gentle smile)

Si Yin's Mother: (gentle voice) "Si Woo, you are a good child. I know someday you will be even bigger than your father. You are well-mannered, well-natured and most of all good-hearted boy. This day's teenagers are too blind to see your worth, but aunty believe in you. Whatever you are trying to achieve, give your best and you will find the result.

I don't understand what or why she's saying like that at that time, but I am sure that she is serious. Because she has the same eye, as my father when he wants to discuss something important. In the mist of questions, I kept eating the dishes out of awkwardness. In a blink of an eye, I finish eating all the dishes.

Si Yin's Mother: "Oh my, you must be hungry? right?" "Want more, aunty will prepare some more."

Si Woo: "Sorry, aunty, I can't help it. Aunty's cooking is very delicious."

Si Yin's Mother: "Ha ha ha ha boy, you praised me too much. Eat your fill. (whisper) and thank you and sorry."

Si Woo: ?? "Did you say something aunty?"

Si Yin's Mother: " You have a great appetite. I mean." (gentle smile).

At that day, I went to Si Yin's Mom's restaurant to ask about Si Yin but instead I filled Si Yin's Mom's Cooking to my stomach fill. And went back to home.

It had been 2 months already and I haven't heard anything from Si Yin and Ri Nee. Because of that, I went to my mom hometown with my father. Maybe that is the start of the day, that I starting to change into something darker, no dangerous? no serious? Who knows?

"Dear, son and I come to visit you? Have you been well? We are doing fine, I guess. So, don't worry about us anymore, Ok? Dear? "Take good care of yourself alright?" "It won't be long".

Si Woo's Dad: "Son, I need you to study something for me, your uncle who is studying in America will come tomorrow. From tomorrow, he will be your personal tutor, coach, butler and even bodyguard everything. I want you to study under him, he will teacher you everything during the time he stay in this country for about 2 or 3 months."

Since then, I had been studying under my uncle, my father's distant relative, my uncle is less spoken person, he teaches me literally everything, literature, physical training, stamina training, business strategies, wild survival training and even piano lesson and weapon training. I want to ask if this kind of training is really necessary to management something in business, but I don't ask because it is my father request.

after 2 months,

I find out that both Ri Nee and Si Yin have been missing classes frequently and they somehow avoiding meeting me in the class.

"Today is no luck, right?" "Because of my luck I can't go and see them because after school, I have to train with my uncle immediately."

Si Bok: "Si Woo, come here. Loser." "Look at my girlfriend. Super pretty, right? We hang out at the beach and stayed at the 5 stars hotel for a week. I bet you never have that kind of experience in your life, right? Loser?"

Si Wong: "Hey, loser, Si Bok said come here. Why are you ignoring that, fxxker?"

Si Woo: "It is you guys' business, this had nothing to do with me. Why bother?"

Si Bok and Si Wong: Look at each other with evil eyes,

Si Bok: Si Wong, his father is not at home, maid isn't here either. Go and beat him.

Si Wong: Gladly, "Hey, fxxker, come here."

(after a while)

Si Woo had been beaten up to the point that his face is swollen to the point.

"Shxt, these guys beat me however they like just because they can do that. I already knew the techniques and already trained myself with my uncle. But...."

(remembering) "Si Woo remember this, you can't show you skills to anyone except me and your uncle and the fact that you are learning business theories from me. Promise your old man that. No, give me your words." "Take it to your heart, absolutely no one can afford to know, ok?"

(present time)

Si Wong: "Fxxker, why acting so arrogant. Just see our girlfriends. I bet you will like them. (evil smile)"

"I don't know why they are so active to make me watch their girlfriend's pictures, these fxxkers? are they crazy or what?"

"I don't care about them beating me, but I still need to train, with these injuries, training will be hard, uncle beating is 100x times harder than this. I just need to the see the pics and be done with it .... what... the....(silence)"

"Murderous eyes", Si woo eyes unconsciously becomes the eye of the dead. 

Si Wong: "What? Ri Nee? Why is she together with... Si Yin too?"

"Intense Killing Aura" slowly crawled out from the darkest room of his eye.

(flashback) "Uncle, when we fight, there are times, my body goes numb, and I can't even think straight because of something." "Oh, really, what feeling?" "It feels like my whole body got swallowed up with intense pressure".

James: "Well, that is called "Killing Aura".

What is "Killing Aura"? Uncle?

Hum, how should i explain it you. Let's say an untrained man or woman faced a wild tiger or something big, a car speeding fast toward them, their legs often freeze as if they go numb, right? It is just like that but here the killing aura is emitted when someone has extreme hatred or blood lust toward the target.

"Extreme hatred? Do you hate me that much uncle?"

"Ha Ha Ha Ha, I don't hate you; my killing aura is not caused by extreme hatred but instead a very sharp intent to overwhelmed something or someone, a result of hardworking, training and experience."

(present time)

Si Woo: "Why are Ri Nee and Si Yin with you guys?"(serious tone)

Si Woo: "Explain"(death stare)

At the instant, both Si Bok and Si Wong felt the intense blood lust enough to send chill down their spine, but they don't what that is, why is that? Do you know the only thing when the weak people do when they are afraid or scare of unknown thing?

Yes, they become violent and hostile toward their fear.

Si Bok: "This bastard!" "They are our new acquired girlfriends". "Your ex-friends I assume."

Si Wong: "I don't like the way he is looking at us. (punch) (punch) (punch) Dare to look at me like that again?"

Si Wong: "This crazy bastard, even when being punched non-stop his looks doesn't change. You fxxker".

Si Bok: "Hey, do it with limit. We can't explain if he has too many injuries to his father, at least not until that time."

Si Wong: "Fxxker, change that look right now."

Si Woo: silence... (death stare) (bleeding from his ear, nose and swollen face).

Si Wong: "You fxxker,(punch) (punch) (punch) oh, yes. I enjoyed them to the last, not only that, Si Bok and I share them to each other. After all, brother should share right? (evil smile) They are so delicious, very pure and innocence. Thanks for bringing the food in. Fxxker"

Si Woo: Clench teeth, to the point that even blood comes out because of pressure.

Si Bok: "Stop it, let's go. Don't bring up trouble to mother. We don't have to annoy ourselves about this loser."

(footsteps) (footsteps)

Si Woo: "What had I done?"

Next day,

Si Woo's father: "Son, what happened to your face?"

Si Woo: (silence) "Uncle is tough at training. Hee Hee. (awkward laugh)"

Si Woo's Father: "Is that truth, James?"

James (Si Woo's uncle): "Well" then he looks at Si Woo's eyes, (determined), "this punk is giving me a rude stare, so I showed him some techniques when light spurring."

Si Woo's Father: "James, I already told you? If something happened to my son...."

Si Woo: "Father, I am fine. Uncle is trying to discipline me. I don't mind and it is also my fault. He is just trying to improve me more by pushing the limit. It isn't uncle fault."

Si Woo's Father: "Silence"

Si Woo: "Dad, today, you have meeting with the company shareholders, right? You need to eat more and prepare for the meeting. Good luck"

Si Woo's Father: Oh, right. I need to go then.

James (Si Woo's Uncle): Silence.

(footsteps) (footsteps)

James (Si Woo's Uncle): Next time, you tried that, I will dislocate all the bone in your body. Remember that?

Si Woo's: "Yes and thank you."

James (Si Woo's Uncle): But are you ok with not telling him?

Si Woo's: "What uncle, I just slipped and fell. That's all?"

James (Si Woo's Uncle): Don't take me for a fool. I know who did this and why you do this as well? Remember adult can see far more you, a mere hatchling can see. Both your father and I are adult remember that well.

Si Woo's: Noted, Uncle. I will take things in my own hands.

James (Si Woo's Uncle): "Do as you wish?" "I will go back tomorrow." "Remember our training."

Next day,

at school, in a room away from people~

Si Woo: Ri Nee, why didn't you tell me? Why?

Ri Nee: What is it?

Si Yin: Yes. Si Woo, what are you talking about? You suddenly dragged us here and ask nonsense.

Si Woo: I see both of your tones change as well. Stop pretending you don't know; I know everything from Si Bok and Si Wong.

Si Woo: (Death eyes)

Ri Nee: (awkward fear) Si Woo? What are you sayi...?

Si Woo: Ri Nee, if you still treat me as a friend, don't try to lie again. That is my last warning! red eyes. (because of being punched last time)

Si Yin: Guess we have no choice? then?

Ri Nee: I....I....Like your cousin Si Bok. I think he is the one.

Si Yin: I also like Si Wong. They are both active and cheerful.

Si Woo: (cheech) tsk tsk tsk. Active and cheerful. You guys don't even know them well.

Si Yin: I know that you don't like them since your father remarried. But they truly care about you.

Ri Nee: Yea, he told me how he worried about you being transferred to this school.

(he said) (he said) (he said) (he said)

Si Woo: "They are all lies, don't you see, they are lying to you. Are you blind, deaf?"(screaming voice)

Ri Nee: silence. (SLAP) "I hate you" "I know you hate them, but just because of that, don't judge them, he is now someone that I truly love." (turn back) "What nonsense, I am going back to class. No wonder why you don't have friends, Loser".

Si Yin: "Si Woo, this is too much even for her. I though you are calm and kind. Look like I judge you wrongly. You have changed." (turn back) (whisper) "I don't think of you as friend anymore don't even appear in front of us."

Si Woo: (silence)...

Si Woo: you are right, I have changed, or maybe we all have. Ha Ha HA HAAA HAAA HAAAHA HA...

Si Yin: "Crazy bastard".

Later that night,

(sound of fist hitting the wood plate) (splash)(splash)(splash)

James: Hey, Si Woo, you hand is bleeding a ton. You might wanna stop if you still want your hand to be able to write. I teach you how to enhance your bones and knuckle, not break them.

Si Woo: "Uncle, I want to come with you?"

James: "What? What about your father?"

Si Woo: "I will talk to him."

James: "I don't think he will agree?"

Si Woo: "Then I just have to talk to him until he agrees."

James: "Bastard, the air around you somehow change a little. But are you sure you want to come with me. Have you prepared your mind? Don't half-ass your answer. You could perish at any moment."

Si Woo: "silence" (after a while)

Si Woo: "yes, I have already prepared my mind".

James: "really?" suddenly bring out the hidden dagger from his right hand and throw right to Si Woo face. (bleed) It gazed Si Woo right on the cheek.

Si Woo: (silence)

James: "Seem like you really did prepare your mind. Well, we will move out tomorrow night. Until that time, talk with your father and make your preparations."

Si Woo: (thank you) Uncle.

James: "Wait, Si Woo. Welcome aboard."
