12 Chapter Twelve: Her Story Behind

"Who are you, really?"

...

"Uh... I'm your best friend..." I sighed, before beginning to explain.

"This is my second life here on earth. Min Jinu... When I was a kid, I was hurt too. You're not the only one who was put through pain since you set foot on this harsh world. I've been manipulated by my aunts, and my uncle is using me. My aunties are horrible people, they're pathetic and arrogant whores. I've… I've been taking pain killers too. You're not the only one that's been going through this... You thought I have a perfect life? Do you know what it feels like to be used over and over again? To be hurt and tortured every second of your life? I've been like you, Min Jinu, and I suffered... I still do."

"Baby girl, come play with your uncle. We'll play the 'don't do it uncle' okay?" He said with a creepy and disgusting tone.

"Okay, uncle..." I was being used again.

I don't know why… But my aunties never helped me.

They just listened to me, crying and screaming for him to stop.

But no one helped me.

In my high school years, they called me a slut, a whore, an 'STD spreader'.

I'm so fed up with this world.

"Do you know how I found you at the bridge?" I asked him.

"No..." He replied simply.

"I was going to jump off the bridge too. Because of the pain… My pain killers wouldn't work anymore, it was hurting too much." I looked up at him. "Do you feel that way too?"

"I always do." He replied.

I hesitated before taking a deep breath. "I'm Yol Sang Kim."
