Missing You
Recalcitrant

"This is not the way to gwangjin-gu". Withstanding pain makes my body tired quickly. In Mr. Chang's car I slept for almost 1 hour and woke up on the road to Gangwon Province. Not likely. Will I be taken home?

My parents' house is in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. From the city center you still have to pass the journey of about 20 minutes to Daryongsan Village. That's where my father opened his peach plantation into one of the fruit pick tourist attractions.

But I haven't been home for two years. And I never called my dad either. How Mr. Chang knows about my home. Sure enough, we'll be home soon.

My house is in the middle of a 3 ha peach plantation. Pak Chang's car in the middle of the plantation was an unfamiliar sight. My house is finally visible. I showed the way to the front of the house to Mr. Chang.

My house consists of one main house and several small houses that are rented out to tourists. My mother and sister were seen waiting in front of the house.

Mr. Chang helped me out of the car. My mother ran and hugged me. "Eomma pain, pain" his embrace was too tight and made the bruises that were on my body depressed. Mr. Chang awkwardly saluted my Mother and Brother.

Mom helped me into the house while my brother was glued to see Mr. Chang's good looks. Our house looks traditional on the outside but inside the house, we have modern appliances. "Where's dad?" I asked my mother after she managed to sit in the chair. I saw every wound in my body with a sad face.

"Still in the garden, he was furious to hear you chose a maid job to finance your life in Seoul". I'm getting scared of facing Dad. Mr. Chang finally broke into the house with Unnie with some items in both hands.

When did he buy all that? "Jin Ae, is he really Chang Min Jung the artist?" I laughed and pinched my brother's arm. Mr. Chang bowed in respect to my mother. "I'm sorry for coming so suddenly, Mrs Lee" he said, giving a gift to her mother.

My mother took it and put it on the kitchen table. Mr. Chang sat right next to me. He checked my forehead and ankles. My mother and sister watched us from the kitchen. "Please drink Mr. Chang Min Jung" Brother gave Mr. Chang a glass of orange juice.

Mom gave me some warm tea and sat down in front of me. "What really happened to Jin Ae?" ask her with a worried tone. Before I answered, Mr. Chang replied to my mother. As Mr. Chang began to tell a story, beside him stood a man with a large and tall body. I was shocked and hid behind my mother's back.

Mr. Chang was also surprised and almost jumped to the side. Dad saw me and came to me soon. He checked my every wound and hit my thigh."Ouch, it hurts Dad" I whine.

Mr. Chang looked tense and corrected his sitting position. My father is almost the same height as Mr. Chang, 184 cm. The body is a bit fat and bald making it look a little like a thug. Dad's clothes are also never clean because every day they go to the garden.

Finally I sat down with my mother and sister. Mr. Chang started to open his mouth. "I'm sorry Sir, Madam and Big Brother Jin Ae" Pak Chang's voice trembled slightly. He recounted everything from the morning until the results of the doctor's examination.

My brother nudged Dad's hand, telling them that a guest had come. Mr. Chang was silent and sometimes looked at me for support. They feel awkward to start a conversation. "Let's have lunch first" mother.

I was hungry because I had not eaten in the morning. After changing clothes, the five of us ate together. My niece had just woken up when we finished eating. I held him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Jin Ae, you better take Mr. Chang Min Jung for a walk around the house" said the older brother. I gave Ha Na to her and took Mr. Chang out. I walked slowly around the fish pond with Mr. Chang.

"How do you know I live here?" aska I want to know. "Hwan Li told me. Said he met your brother at Chuncheon." I nodded remembering that.

"We'd better sit down, your legs still hurt." Indeed, it hurts so much. There was a chair near the garden, we both sat there. "Father didn't go back to Busan?". Mr. Chang looked me in the eye.

Mr. Chang told me his workers' experiences. You could say I was the luckiest. The behavior of Pak Chang fans can sometimes be a criminal act that endangers lives.

"I'll pay my salary exactly one year. And there's no need for a penalty in this." I still can't believe Mr. Chang said all this casually.

Then what about all the attention and seductive words that came out of his mouth. I can't believe this, everything must be wrong. I saw his eyes. There's no sign of doubt in it.

I was silent and didn't know what to react to. It is true that during this one month, we have only been employees and superiors. Employees who are easily treated. I held my head and started to feel dizzy.

"What's wrong?" . I laugh. Mr. Chang was surprised to see me laughing. "Well, I'm lucky to have experienced this. I don't have to work for a year but get a full paycheck with no deductions and penalties."

I stood up and started walking towards the house. I saw Mr. Park's car enter our yard. Mr. Chang followed me from behind. "Jin Ae, so this is your home" Mr. Park got out of the car and behind him was some media covering.

Mr. Park and Mr. Chang were facing my father and mother. They apologized officially, there was a media that took photos every process. I can't feel anything right now. I received a contract letter and read it.

"What makes it is Jin Ae. And my son as you know is an adult. So let him decide."

I sat down with my Father and mother, Brother and Ha Na just looking from a distance.

Compensation was given to me by Mr. Park and his picture was taken. Also during the cancellation of the contract. All documented by the media. "We hope that with this, Miss Jin Ae will not sue and connect everything with Chang Min Jung." Mr. Park handed me a letter of agreement.

I didn't look towards Mr. Chang. After reading the letter of agreement that was in front of me, I signed it without hesitation.

I only knew him for a month. For only one month I could see his face and his movements. He makes me happy and hopeful. But now he's dropping me from a height and hoping not to deal with me anymore.

"I don't think this is fair to Mr. Park. It is true that I was injured while working and I have received compensation. Mr. Chang is innocent in this incident so you don't have to pay my salary until the end of the year."

I continued "Thank you for your concern all this time, but I can only receive My salary for three months." I stood up and slowly walked into the room.

My father confirmed my words. I'll only get as much pay as the month I actually work. This way I won't feel guilty for Mr. Park or Mr. Chang.

Mr. Park welcomes my decision. The doctor's fee is included in the payment. With this ended my working time. This way I will never see Mr. Chang again.

Suddenly I felt tired and began to fall asleep in my room.
