What i did for love
Part 1
June 17 , 1999
My name is MiNa Nam . I'm 19 , still very young , but i am dying . Not right now but my life is slowly fading away as i'm writing my story . At this moment , i'm sitting at ` our ' spot . Mine and Eun Ji Won , the love of my life .
The sun is slowly beginning to set over the lake . I took a glance at my reflection in the water . My outside looks have changed drastically within the past few months , but the water reflected the true me . Inside i'm still the same person .
I have done and given so much for love but never once , have i received it back from Ji Won . There are times that i wanted to tell him everything that i've done for him and make him love me back . But i cant .
Love is not selfish .
So i did what felt right . I keep giving Ji Won my love and i never asked for his love in return . Even though i'll leave this world pretty soon , my love for him will still remain . My story begins when i first met Ji Won six years ago on this one fateful day . It all started out . . .
Part 2
October 31 , 1993
" You better come back here you good for nothing brat ! "
I covered my ears with my palms . That was my stepmother calling me . Her voice sounds murderous and i didnt want to face her today . She had slapped and hit me too much already . I'm afraid i cant take it anymore so i hid in my closet . I peeked through the crack in my closet and saw my stepmum with a really pissed off look on her face . She was holding that stick that i'm afraid of . I winced thinking about how much it would hurt if she hits me with it again .
I'm just thirteen and whoever said 13 was an unlucky number , they were right . My mom had died when i was just turning ten . Before she died she told me that i was the most beautiful girl in the world and how proud she was to be my mother . She said even though she'll be gone , her love remains with me always .
Tears rolled down my cheeks . ` If you love mummy , how can you be so selfish to leave me ? ' So now when i had turn 13 my dad had married Mok Young A , who is my stepmum today . She was a cold - hearted woman who tortured me all day . Any self - esteem i had for myself was shattered and i was living in a nightmare .
My closet door suddenly opened .
" There you are you wicked girl ! "
My stepmum started cussing at me as she pulled me out and threw me onto the floor . I began to tremble because i knew what was going to happen next .
* Whack , whack , whack . *
I cried out in pain but i knew that no one is going to hear my cries . I desperately began to gasp for air . My heart was aching again . I couldn't breathe .
" Not again ! Dont you see how much you're costing your father and me with your heart problems ? If it wasn't for all these medical bills we wouldn't be so poor now ! " I had this heart condition where air would suddenly shut off and i couldn't breathe . The doctors are trying to save me by giving me a respirator and pills but they're not sure how much longer i'll be able to live . My dad ( Who was a pathetic excuse for a man ) came in .
He looked down at me with sorrowful eyes he held my stepmom's arm lightly and said , " I think she had enough . You dont want her to have another attack . Calm down and let's have dinner . "
" Thats why i'm hitting her ! " She yelled . " She got detention and stayed after school for an hour . She was supposed to be home to go buy food for dinner and make it . Your daughter is so evil . She wants me to starve or something ! "
" I didnt get detention . The teacher wanted to talk to me about . "
But i was cut off by the whack of my stepmom's stick . I cried silently in pain and turned away . I didnt want to look at her .
My dad said , " Well , dinner is just going to be a little late today . Mina , say sorry to your mom . "
Despite the pain , i managed to say , " Sorry mom , please forgive me . "
My dad handed me some money . " Here , go buy food to make mee - yuk - gook tonight . "
My stepmom's temper slimmed down a little as my dad lead her out of my room . I picked up the money and headed to the store . Mr Choi , the owner of Choi Food Market , shook his head as i walked in . He knew what kind of hell i was going through . I finished my shopping and checked out .
" That will be $3.49 . "
" What ? " I asked . " Umm . . . Mr Choi , thats impossible . With all these stuffs it should be around $15 . "
" I know Mina . " Mr Choi gave me a sad smile . " The exact price is $14.32 . Why dont you keep the change for yourself ? "
I opened my mouth in shock . " Mr Choi , i . . . I cant do that . " I said as i handed him $20 .
He only took $5 . " No , keep it . I know your stepmom of yours dont give you any money . "
I looked up at Mr Choi with tears in my eyes . Here he was , just a friend reaching out to me . I said thanks and headed home .
Part 3
I decided to take a shortcut home but as i passed the alley , a hand pulled me in . I was knocked to the ground and a shadow hovered over me . I began to scream but the same hand covered my mouth .
" Shut up or i'll kill you ! "
I shut my mouth instantly . I didnt want to die yet . In the moon's reflection i got a good look of my attacker . It was a boy who looked a little bit older than me . His face and clothes were dirty but he had really good features so i could tell he was extremely good looking . But this was not a time to think about such things .
He held a table knife at my throat and said , " Give me all your money or i'll kill you . " I panicked but i knew what to do . I used the move that i wanted to use on my stepmom everytime she pinned me down and hit me . I kicked him hard , right into his family jewels . He gasped and fell to the floor , dropping the knife . I picked up my groceries and ran .
I guess you can call me the dumbest person alive . I was afraid i had kicked the boy too hard and permanently damaged him . Besides , since my life is hell already , i didnt want him to go through it too . So i turned back .
When i came back to the alley , the boy was still lying on the floor . He was moaning softly . I lifted him up gently . " Are you okay ? " I asked . He shook his head no . " I'm sorry , " I said to him . I reached into my pocket and pulled out the money " Mr Choi gave me if you need money , then here . All i have is ten bucks . "
I placed the money in his hand and walked away . He looked at me with this weird expression that i couldn't read i picked up my groceries and this time , i left without turning back . I could tell the boy was watching at me as i was walking away .
My hand is damn tired now after typing all these .
