Missing You
Shinta

I finally got home at 9 a.m. Triiiing...

"Hello"

"Have you been home?"

Mr. Chang called.

"Have, just now"

"No need to go to Itaewon today, just rest"

"But Sir"

"I've reached Busan" It seems I can't argue with his wishes.

"Well sir, I'm resting at home today"

"Jin Ae's...." Why was he suddenly so serious and silent.

"I'll miss you"

I smiled to myself.

That was the last call I received from Mr. Chang. For 2 weeks, she was filming in Busan and there was no news. But Mr. Park often gives the latest news through the renewal of his status.

It's time I went home. Today I just do the cleaning and cooking of food from almost expired ingredients.

Getting out of the back door has become my habit. But today something was strange. I felt followed after coming out of Mr. Chang's house. I walked quickly to the train station with an occasional look back. But there's no one behind me.

I always leave for work at 5:30 and arrive at Mr. Chang's house around 6 a.m. It was heavy at first but now it's been almost 4 months, I'm used to it. This morning there were two women waiting in front of Mr. Chang's house. I'll go through the back door. But in front of the back door there were also 3 women waiting.

I feel something is wrong. I turned around and headed back to the front of Mr. Chang's house. But the two women who were in front of the house had surrounded me from the front.

I was surrounded by them. Security is always going around. But since this road is a rather hidden area, maybe the security will not know even if something happens here. They drew closer and pressed me until my back was against the wall of the house.

"Are you the woman who's close to our Min Jung?" One of them has a higher body than me. "I'm just a maid here" . It seems they did not receive my answer. "You think we believe? Are you a fan who disguised himself to be close to Min Jung?"

Before I answered they had pulled my hair. So hurt. They also started hitting my stomach, hands and feet. When I couldn't help it anymore there was a loud whistle blowing. The security found me.

I was sent to the police with the five children. My hands and feet hurt a lot but I could hold them. The children were crying roars when confronted by police. I was beaten but they were crying.

I went to the hospital unaccompanied. It's too early to call my friend. I went into the ER, they treated my external wounds and did X rays on my ankles because they looked swollen.

After the whole examination was done I went to wait in one of the seats in front of the ER. At that time I realized that my hair was messy like a lion, my clothes and my pants were dirty with mud. I could only sigh and go to the bathroom to clean myself up.

Out of the bathroom I heard a commotion at the entrance to the hospital. With the pain in my ankle I sat back in front of the ER. I saw some people going towards the crowd. I'm not interested. My stomach hurts from being hit and hungry. My head is dizzy and my feet are painful.

I took the phone from the bag. There were some missed calls from Mr. Park and Mr. Chang. Mr. Chang must be busy, so I called Mr. Park.

"Hello Sir"

"Jin Ae, where are you now?" Mr. Park's voice sounded very loud. "I was at the hospital, sir, it was the staff who told me to come here."

Suddenly in front of my dirty shoes was a sneaker I knew.

I looked up and he saw me. "Sir Chang". Mr. Chang was crouching in front of me. He saw my head plastered. He saw all the wounds on my body and last saw my bandaged right ankle.

"Where else is injured?" His voice made my face red. "This is all, sir" Mr. Chang took a deep breath. Today she wears an ash hoodie and black pants with her favorite black sneaker. His face looks handsome.

He still sees every part of my body. "Jin Ae.." I heard Mr. Park's scream. I saw Mr. Park half running towards me. Mr. Chang stood up and sat right next to me. "What did the doctor say?" mr. Park said with a little anxiety.

"I'm waiting for the X rays, sir" Mr. Park looked at every plaster and bandage on my body. Mr. Chang kicked Mr. Park's leg "Buy hot coffee and food for Jin Ae" . I shook my head "No need sir. Later if the results of the doctor have come out" but Mr. Park did not hear me. Running to find minimarket. I saw Mr. Chang intend to protest.

Mr. Chang held my hand and put it in his hoodie pocket. Warm. I fell silent and enjoyed the warmth of Mr. Chang's hand. I didn't realize that some people were looking at us from far away.

"Miss Lee Jin Ae" Sister called my name. I stood up and felt pain in my feet. It wasn't this sick. Mr. Chang led me to the doctor's office. The nun who called my name seemed to blush in embarrassment when she saw Mr. Chang. I sat in front of the doctor, as well as Mr. Chang. The nurse continued to see Mr. Chang.

"Your ankle is sprained and it may take 2 weeks to heal. The other wound was just a small cut and bruise. We took a picture and sent it to the police. I gave him some vitamins and painkillers. Next week his ankle will be checked again.

"Thank you doctor". I stood up and walked towards the door. Mr. Chang held my hands and shoulders to support my body. "I want to go straight home" But Mr. Chang told me to sit down. I see him confused. "I came suddenly and made a crowd at the front door. If the reporters leave, we go home"

I forget that the person next to me is a famous person. I looked around and there were several people including the sisters who were whispering looking at us. I pulled my hand from Mr. Chang's grip. Mr. Park approached us. "It's Jin Ae" I received hot coffee and some food from Mr. Park.

"Hospital security forces have expelled journalists from the front. You can get out through the basement and go straight to Itaewon. I'm gonna go to the police and take care of this."

I saw these two guys. "Thank you Mr. Park." Mr. Park looked at me with a look of pity. "I'll get you a change of clothes for Jin Ae" But Mr. Chang interrupted "It's there, you just go. Come on Jin Ae"

Mr. Chang pushed me towards the elevator. In the hamya elevator there were both of us. Mr. Chang hugged me tightly. I put my head on his chest. Open elevator. Mr. Chang lifted my body and carried me towards the car. "Your body is too thin" I fell silent and rested my head on her wide shoulders.
