Chapter 36 "Body of a fully grown adult women"

Da-eun went back to her room after a long conversation with her grandfather.. she got to know about her background.. She was feeling sad.. it was hard for her to take in everything that her grandfather told her about her mother and maternal grandfather..

When she recalled that grandfather told her that her maternal grandfather was alive and in seclusion, a soft bitter smile appeared on her face.. she mumbled out the words "Grandpa.. I'll find you and I'll help you get revenge for the tragic loss of your loved once.. I'll make sure to get stronger.. keep working hard until I find those criminals and make them pay for everything that they did to you.. whatever it takes.."

With that she went and stood in front on the mirror to take a close look at her reflection.. in front of her stood a girl who looked like she was around eighteen.. her body had changed visibly.. It looked like a fully grown adult women.. if anyone that knew her, saw her now, they'd think that she might've had some surgery or something.. but that'd be also suspicious because it takes time to recover from the surgery..

"I'd have to take a leave from school for a few days.. and firstly... buy some new outfits.." She mumbled to herself as she felt uncomfortable in her tight clothes.. she had clearly outgrown them..

While thinking about all the stuff that had happened to her she went back to her bed and laid down to browse through her phone.. There were quite a few texts from Yuna and Aldo..

She opened Yuna's text first.. "Eunaa.. call me when you wake up.. and don't come to school tomorrow if you don't feel good.. take a good rest at home.." It dated three days before.. It showed clearly that she was in a deep sleep for the past three days.. At 8:57 PM..

Da-eun kept scrolling down and kept reading all the messages that Yuna had sent her, one by one.. "Hey.. if you are not feeling good or sick then should I come to take care of you? Tell me as soon as you see the text.." At 5:32 AM next day..

"Eunaa.. have you still not woken up? I want to come and see for myself how you are but my dad came back and making a fuss at home.. I can only pray to God that you get well soon.." At 9:25 AM..

"After the first class Aldo came and asked me about you that why you were absent.. I only said that you were not feeling well.. He looked quite worried.. after that he went back to his seat and looked all gloomy the whole day.. I miss you.. Should I just take the risk and come see you?" At 11:41 AM..

"You still haven't replied.. are you okay? I'm just dying to know how you are?.. I'm coming to your house after school today.. I don't care what happens anymore.." At 3:54 PM..

"When I was about to reach your house, I met Aldo on my way.. he stopped me from going to your house saying that it'd be bad if my father knew that I went to a friend's house and was late to get back home because of that.. I gave it a thought and agreed to it and returned home.." At 6:19 PM..

"On second thought.. it's quite suspicious for Aldo to know about my family issues.. did you tell him about it? If my doubt proves to be true then you are up for a beating girl.. I won't forgive you.." At 7:07 PM..

"Please reply to my texts.. I'm gonna cry now if you still keep ignoring me.. I miss you so much.. and it's just too much for me to even think about how you are sick and I can't visit you.. I'm so pathetic.." At 4:59 AM…

And the texts were never ending.. Da-eun read them all with tears pouring out of her eyes.. she knew that Yuna was worried for her.. and this made her feel bad that she had made her worried.. and she was also feeling happy to have a friend that cared so much about her.. she felt blessed to have a friend like that..

Da-eun read all of them before exiting and opening Aldo's texts.. there were only a few.. "How are you now? I saw that you were absent today and asked Yuna about it.. she told me that you are sick.. so, I thought that I should ask you how you are doing now? Text back when you see this.." At 4:27 PM..

"It's been a day and I've been thinking to visit you.. I saw Yuna on my way to your house.. and told her not to go and see you.. please don't get angry with me for that.. after that I came to your house but your grandfather said that you were taking a rest and I should visit some other time.. so, I went back.. please let me know if you need anything.. I'm also your friend after all.. wink.." At 8:01 PM..

After that there were a few more texts asking about her health.. she read all of them and smiled.. in her mind, she always thought that Aldo was just a troublemaker, but now that they had become friends, she got to know him a little bit.. and his image changed in her mind.. he had also become a good friend in just a few days..

She smiled softly and texted him back "Thanks for worrying about me.. I'm all well now.. I just need to recuperate a little bit.. so, if I don't come to school for a few days, please don't worry about me.."

After texting him, Da-eun called Yuna as she felt that it'd be easier to reassure her that way, that she was fine now..

After two rings Yuna picked up the call… "Eunaa.. how are you now? How are you feeling? Are you okay? Why didn't you reply to my texts? And why didn't you answer my calls? I thought something happened to you.. I was so worried.. I felt like crying but I kept it all inside and prayed to God that you recover soon.. and thankfully God listened to me.. thank you God.. Eunaa why are you not saying anything? Are you still sick? Don't scare me? My mind is running wind.. I don't want to think about the worst.. say something already.. Eunaa.. are you-.."

"Shhhh… shhhh.. shut up already.. how do you expect me to say something when you keep talking and don't even give me a chance to speak.. goodness.." As soon as the call connected Da-eun opened her mouth to speak, but Yuna started to speak in a frantic way and that made it hard for her to even say a single word.. she tried speaking a few more times but again failed as Yuna kept rambling on and on..
