Beautiful Goodbye
CHAPTER 19: The Traditioned Onak

      "What did you come here for? Why can ... you be free to roam here!" Yoon Eun pointed at the man's face with a twinkle of wind. While being stared at precisely a slanted smile found a clash.  The man his age was sitting with his legs crossed full of arrogance. Without loosening the grin of a grin that he deliberately kept for a long time for the woman.

      "Why can't it? I'm free now. Aren't you glad to hear that?"

       The more obvious the look of surprise on Hwang Yoon Eun's face. "Cannot be. You must have escaped from prison. There's no way you're free so soon! " Getting his phone that was lying down, intending to call the authorities.

      The man snorted cynically. Blocking Yoon eun's wrists was quite strong, making her owner grimace in pain. Without hesitation, he threw— mengempas the phone to crumble the screen. Yoon-eun glared at the angry sign that was exploding from the base of her heart.

       "Isn't it enough to spend twelve years in prison for you? Or should I remind you, who should be behind bars?"

       His body jolted as the man in front of him snapped at the pelak. Yoon eun began to tremble, to the point that her joints were weakening, feeling the attack of those words manage to make her roar of arrogance.

     "Han Woo Jin ..." His head shook, chanting a name that had long been residing in the small memory of his memory.

     Woojin remained claustrophobic, feeling the tightness of seeing his wife crying in front of his feet. He didn't come back to be dealt with like this.

     I don't know how many times Sohyun played the stationery he held. His thumb continued to press the tip of the ball pen, opening and closing while watching a sketch of the face of someone he had just drawn. His memory is quite good, considering anyone who has ever seen by his eyes, and Sohyun this time was able to capture through black and white streaks on paper. The face of an adult man began to wrinkle. At first glance it looks unmanageable with the growth of mustache and beard on the face. Someone he saw a dozen years ago.

       "What will happen after this?" A question escaped from her pale lips. Sohyun was guessing what his life would be like if the Uncle who had disappeared, now appeared despite being a shadow at midnight.

      "Han Woojin. I know it's you" she half-whispered. Sohyun already knew what happened to the man, because Woojinlah he had trouble throwing his mother into prison. Due to a false confession that makes him and Woojin both in a long locked state. Long enough the girl pensive. Tafakur, look how shabby Woojin's self-apparition is.

     Placed the sheet of paper on the study table, because the device that had been making out with dark drawers terrorized the shade. Vibrating tone capable of diverting attention. Sohyun reached for the object, looking at the rowdy maker of his device.

      A message appeared, from Kim Taehyung.

     I'm on my way. Soon it will be there, you get ready.

      Thank you, Sohyun.

     Oh yeah, dress up beautiful!

      His warm smile came when he found the contents of the short message read. He had no idea what the man was planning. Taehyung's choice of words, similar to people who will date. Sohyun only attends the Taehyung family dinner invitation. Sohyun quickly moved from the chair, approaching the dressing table that he occasionally visited to disguise his appearance.

     "You just need to look fine, Kim So Hyun. Just that," she said, pecking herself in front of the makeup glass, then grabbing the powder and lipstick, rubbing it on her thin face that was always pale in lesions, also squealing a silent bruise on her left chin.

      Sohyun chose to go straight down. Waiting in front of the door, while his ass had bought a wooden chair on the porch of the house. Seojin who seemed to be still overshadowed by Sohyun's words this morning also accompanied, worried that the boss's words were true—about the person who came to harm, especially he suspected that there was someone watching the house, and even more so, seojin came out to buy kitchen necessities this afternoon.

      "Bi ..."

      Seojin quickly faced Sohyun's shrill call. "Yes, Miss?"

      "Don't tell Taehyung what happened yesterday."

      "But, Miss ... Hasn't this gone too far? Taehyung also needs to know, doesn't Miss want to get out of the clutches of Mrs Hwang?"

      "You also know, what risks I would accept if that happened. Before that, I had to start getting used to not always depending on him. Auntie, do you know, something makes me want to stay alive for longer? Because Taehyung is back."

     "Today there's a dinner invitation with the Kim Family. I'm thinking about the dinner I'm going through all night. I'll try it, Bi, real dinner, right, like a real family."

     Seojin froze, she understood where Sohyun was talking to. How longing the girl was for the warmth of the family she was waiting for. And for the first time for Sohyun to eat someone else's cooking. He could not imagine, whether the master could swallow it or just spit out again the cuisine that will be served to him, just as it was then. In the middle of his mind that was watching, the vehicle tutoring was heard approaching.

      Sohyun always saw a white high SUV car arrive in front of the home page. Taehyung looked out as soon as the vehicle's engine was turned off. Approaching Sohyun who is now standing waiting for his arrival.

     "Hi!" Taehyung. "I'm not late, am I?" While glancing at the watch.

     Sohyun. "It's late afternoon, Tae."

   The man breathed a sigh of relief. Not in vain his efforts to go home early, in order to pick up Sohyun who he will introduce to his family.

    "Ekhem!" Seojin who is hooked, splits intentionally.

     "Oh, sorry, I didn't realize anyone was here." Taehyung looked down embarrassedly in front of Seojin who chuckled.

      Seojin certainly doesn't mind. He was quite understanding of the close relationship of two friends who had been separated for a long time. So after a small conversation, Taehyung quickly led Sohyun to his residence.

     Sohyun's arrival at the Kim family home was warmly welcomed by Sewon as the mother of Taehyung, the same thing is done Haeyoung who also likes to see the look that can make Taehyung no day without telling the figure of a woman who is now sitting at his desk with him. As a result, it made red on Sohyun's cheeks that blushed made. Things that are of course rare—sohyun displayed. Believe me, that Sohyun began to feel comfortable, the friendly welcome and warmth he received, adding to his longing for his parents.

     "Taehyung told me a lot about you. He's like a kasmaran, he likes to talk about anything about you, Sohyun."

      "That's right. His crumpled face after the office instantly turned bright every time he talked about you," Haeyoung chimed in on his wife's words.

      Sohyun smiled happily, another with Taehyung who pursed his lips because it was used as a joke lips father and mother.

      "Don't embarrass me .." he whispered, as if coding for them to stop immediately. But a different response was shown by his parents, instead of stopping, Sewon increasingly teased his youngest son more and more.

       "It doesn't have to be that obvious, Mom! You want Sohyun to laugh at me? Talk about something else in front of my girlfriend!" Taehyung grunted, unconscious of his statement silencing the laughter in the dining room, the atmosphere in the room was instantly silent without a sound, including Jaehyun who had just returned home, the man fell silent. Digesting deeply the meaning of the last sentence thrown by the sister.

      "Is Sohyun really your lover?" First question from Haeyoung.

      Taehyung, who was at first overwhelmed with thought, before nodding his head, confirmed Haeyoung's question.

      "Since I've been in contact with Sohyun, please Daddy cancel my matchmaking with master Li's daughter. I love him so much .." glimpsed by the girl next to him, who seemed more shocked than the others.

      Sohyun put on a sweet smile, staring at the bead of his pithy eyes at her. Taehyung really knows how to take advantage of the conditions.

      "I too .. love Taehyung very much. I felt hurt when I knew he was going to be betrothed to another woman." He bit his lips as the words that were not completely lying came out. Sohyun was hurt. Imagining Taehyung side by side with other women clearly incised suffering, and now, suddenly, Taehyung is expressing things beyond his expectations. Should he be happy? Or vice-versa?

    Sewon grabbed Sohyun's hand and said, "You calm down. The match will not happen. It would be better if both of them loved each other without any coercion. Taehyung's father will also definitely agree."

     Again Sohyun smiled, he could feel it, the sincere feeling of a mother. And cursed is he who plays in the lies they have just made.

     His hands clenched firmly, Jaehyun felt a whip after the news that had just pierced his sense of hearing. Hard to believe, his mind grunts the nelangsa.

      Taehyung, who was happy not to be a bitch, immediately got up from the chair, giving kisses on both the cheeks of his father and mother. His excitement grew even more when he saw Jaehyun standing on the doorstep of the barrier between spaces. The man called out loudly, calling out the name of Jaehyun who was acting like normal—it would not happen something that broke the heart.

     "Come, join together!"

    Jaehyun was dragged by Taehyung forcibly. A coincidence, he sat next to Sohyun who was commenting on a friendly smile towards him.

    "How are you, Doctor Kim," Sohyun said.

    "Well," replied Jaehyun. "What a big surprise, you and Taehyung have such a close relationship."

    Sohyun only smiled faintly, Taehyung who was sitting not far from him said, "Don't try to tease him, he's mine!"

     Jaehyun made a cursory appearance, as he had, he would stare with a makeshift joke, though not enough to fence the gering that became within.

     "Since the whole family is here, let's start the dinner. Sohyun eat a lot, I noticed .. Your body looks thin."

      Sewon took a piece of baked daldogi to his bowl. The chopsticks he held were tightly squeezed, Sohyun could only look at him, as everyone at the dinner table prepared to eat the dinner dishes available.

       "Don't force it."

      Sohyun fell silent, as Jaehyun's whispers echoed. Jaehyun, the man found out about him.

      "I'll try."

      Jaehyun annoyedly stuffed his mouth with bibimbap, knowing his words were not obeyed Sohyun. The girl was seen picking up the piece of fish meat with trembling hands. Several times he glanced at the woman caught between him and Taehyung, the start of the doubt, changed when his white teeth began to tear the tender meat into his mouth.

        "How, Sohyun? Do you like this cooking? Haeyoung asked enthusiastically.

        "Yes. I like it.." Sohyun replied softly.

       "Pyeonsu is great to enjoy when it's warm, try it!" Taehyung's turn gave a piece of fish-filled dumplings to Sohyun who was reluctant to refuse. He accepted it to appreciate their gift. Although once again, the nausea began to flare up.

       "Excuse me. I want to go to the toilet."

      Taehyung stopped chewing, looking to his right side. "Want you to take me?"

     Shaking his head, Sohyun refused. "Better swallow your food first, finish your meal. You just need to show me where it is, I can do it myself, Tae."

     "All right, Miss Kim. The toilet is over there, you just walk straight and turn left" Taehyung explained as a guide.

      Sohyun quickly moved from the dining room, following Taehyung's obedient instructions to continue eating that had paused. Jaehyun who saw Sohyun's strange gelagat finally stopped eating, reasoned to want to rest in his room, which happened to pass the toilet.

       Jaehyun pecked as a vomit sound rang out from within. Conjecture's right. His hand hurriedly opened the door, but unlucky, the door was locked. The feeling was less and less complicated, because the girl did not come out even though ten minutes had passed.

      "Are you okay? Answer my question, Kim So Hyun!"

      Jaehyun was almost on his way, when the door opened suddenly. Luckily he had to rewind the step before the fiber door hit his nose. Sohyun only glanced at him at a glance, before stepping away, seeing that, the gapah Jaehyun withdrew Sohyun's hand, forcing the woman to face him.

      "Why are you pretending again? Do you think you can lie to me?" the spray is slow but hot. Jaehyun certainly did not want his conversation to be known to his family.

      "I'm not pretending. There is absolutely no intention of lying to you." Sohyun stared at that face as calmly as usual.

     Jaehyun until clucked, letting his cynical smile come off to decorate his sour face. "Whatdidyou say? Tomorrow go to the hospital, we do another check, check your abdomen."

     "Do you want me to see how horrible the organs in my abdominal cavity are? It's enough that I see a lot of tear from the surgery every day, if the examination will only lead me to become a cut animal the doctors, I don't want to. I can't let them mess with my body anymore."

     Sohyun hastened his steps, ignoring Jaehyun who kept on snoring because he was selfish. He quickly wiped his tears before setting foot into the dining room. Everything gets bad, when a new lie is created.

🔔

     Taehyung did not know what caused Sohyun to shut up when he returned from the toilet. Even Sohyun did not have time to finish his meal. The girl next to him just took a sip of a warm orange and answered as necessary if asked. Not only him, his parents are equally good. Although Sohyun continued to say he was fine, he would not be able to cover the sad look lodged on his face.

      Many times already, Taehyung glanced at the woman who seemed to focus on the passing streets. Segan gripped her guts, shrinking her desire to ask. But this has been going on for a long time, he must immediately end before the misunderstanding is sculpted so.

     "You're angry, because I introduced you as my lover?" Taehyung opened his voice, with one question flashing since their exit from the house.

      Sohyun who was glued to the streets immediately turned to look at him. "I know you want to avoid that match, but, Taehyung .. should you lie to your parents, what if they know we're having a show?"

      Taehyung let out a long sigh, understanding what his best friend was worried about. "That's what I'm thinking, too. What matters now, is how, for Shen Nan to give up on chasing me."

       Sohyun revealed his snail smile. "You're exaggerating. However I am also a woman, Shen Nan, although I have not met her in person, she must have liked you so much that she lived in Korea and opened a branch here."

        "Help ..." Taehyung started frowning dislikes.

      At the very least, Taehyung's wry expression was able to restore even Sohyun's typical small smile. The man loved it, greatly admiring each and every dipper on his face.

     The car is still running at a constant speed, patiently down the hill road. It only takes less than ten minutes, they get to destination—to where Sohyun lives. At first everything was normal, before Sohyun's naked eyes saw two vehicles passing in front of the car they were riding in. Sohyun's suspicions grew when the jeep car that was just 50 inches in front deliberately slowed the speed of the wheels and continued to close the road even though Taehyung several times honked. Just at the last corner, the black car stopped suddenly, making Taehyung braked almost to hit the rear body of the four-wheeled vehicle in front. Someone came down, followed by the galloping steps of three other people.

     "Who are they?"

     Taehyung wondered, wary of the hordes of men in black who were walking towards his car. The suspicious behavior inevitably makes Taehyung assume various things, before bad things happen, he quickly pull the steering wheel, to turn the direction, ill, right behind, another jeep car appears. Their position is trapped.

      "Whatever happens, don't come down!" taehyung firmly, he aimed at Sohyun who rarely showed a worried expression. Although both of them did not know the cause of their being blocked in the middle of the road, without much questioning, surely those people had certain intentions that were far from good.

     "Hurry out!"

      One of the things Taehyung believed in was that his chairman cocked the gun forward. Sohyun continued to pay attention in silence, muttering Taehyung's right palm, like giving each other comfort so as not to be easily intimidated in anxiety. Until the loud sound of bullets fly, flying birds that perch in the trees, flying in the fog accompanied by the howls of wild animals around. There are only two options.
