2 The Flash of Pain

At moment of entering Ji-Ho is the concert hall, the video was shown on the big screen in the hall, where the first thing that appeared when the video started was:

"If you are curious about the old days of an elite university, you will find no better than me assuring you of what was happening here; in this university…"

As soon as the phrase appeared on the screen, everyone became amazed and the voices rose slightly as the audience murmured about what the intent of this phrase was, the phrase tinged with some suspicion

Amidst the preoccupation of all the attendees with this matter, he was Sujin walks around dressed as a waiter, slowly walking around, looking at the faces of the audience, observing their reactions.

He had a sly smile on his lips, but that smile soon changed as his eyes met Ji-Ho.

Sujin realized that Ji-Ho really saw it and decided that it was necessary to finish his plan quickly, lest Ji-Ho would interfere for any reason and not finish it as she planned.

The moment he saw him, a lot of thoughts crossed his head, he wondered that Sujin was here in a waiter's uniform, what brought him back here after five years....so he decided to go and check it out, and as he walked towards him, he was shocked to see Sujin trying to hide the part. The front of the gun was fired. Ji-Hoe immediately thought that the best thing to do now was to get Sujin out of here and get him out of sight as soon as possible. Sujin might do something that could take his life, so he quickly grabbed Sujin's arms.

Sujin looked at him with a fleeting look of anger, and interrupted them at this dramatic moment,

A picture of Subin appears on the display with the phrase:

"I will take revenge on all of you. Perhaps it is time for you to remember what happened five years ago, because it is time for your reckoning."

Then suddenly the list of top students on the display changed and the order was as follows,

First student Subin, the second is Min-Ki, the third is Dak-Ho, the fourth is Ji-Ho and the tenth Mi-Young, followed by videos showing Subin crying, surrounded by a group of young people bullying her with their voices and faces mislead.

The attendees were astonished by the expressions and the arrangement of the list, as the actual list announced by the university is different from the one currently presented to the attendees. In 2015, the university announced a different list, and the hum increased to attend, as they remembered that the university was late in announcing the first students, but the justification of the university at that time was,

That this is the first time for the university to organize the graduation ceremony, and so it was natural for it to take a little time to appear in the best way, so the ranking of the first was held according to the cumulative average at the level of the whole university and not at the level of a particular specialty, so the university made it clear at the time that it had many things , which must be prepared, to get out on the final list

Once Ji-Ho saw Subin's picture ,his feelings were troubled as his eyes were tearing and his heart was in pain for the loss of Subin, he really misses her,

But it was a reactionSujin is different when he sees her, so his anger increases and he decides that this is the perfect moment to take revenge on her.

he raised his gun to Mi-Young's table, Dak-Ho and Min-Ki, he spoke in an angry voice with tears in his eyes. :

- Murderous devils, do you look so comfortably at your victim!

poor Subin; How can you end someone's life so easily?

- Everyone became anxious, surprised, and terrified by the scene they saw. Then the university security intervened quickly, to announce that Sujin was being handed over to the police. Ji-Ho hurriedly got into his car to go to the police station with the aim of catching up with Sujin to check on him, as Sujin had a relationship with Ji-Ho was too strong, as Ji-Ho consider him his older brother, but no news about him after Subin's death.

While Ji-Ho was driving, all thoughts and memories revolved around Subin and Sujin

He said talking to himself:

-What is the reason behind what Sujin did today, and why now?

What made Sujin do this after five years?

- I really don't understand why he insists that Min-Ki, Dak-Ho and Mi-Young are the cause of her death, but I'm pretty sure that Subin died in front of me in a crash.!

Then he sighed a little and added:

- But Subin is his only sister, of course he feels lost even if a whole decade has passed, since Subin left life, life has never tasted, I remember how lonely outcast I was and she, who brought me and Sujin together, made me love life the first time I met her ,

I was asking myself every moment, did I love her as much as it suited her or, as Sujin told me, the last time I saw him before he left for the States

I always thought I didn't love Subin as she deserved, but he's wrong I didn't love or appreciate anyone in my life like Subin, she was always my only refuge, I wish I could see you even for a moment...

About twenty minutes later, Sujin arrived at the police station, and he was behind him. He got out of his car and then turned around looking for Sujin.

He found Sujin where his hands were tied, his hair untidy and his eyes sunken, he did not imagine for a moment to see him with this miserable appearance, as Ji-Ho used to see him always tidy and wearing glasses that he never forgot to wear, due to the nature of his studies and work, Sujin seemed confused Turning left and right,

His eyes met again with Ji-Ho, and his anger increased, and he said to himself, referring to Ji-Ho:

- How dare he?! By what right does he show me his face - I should have pointed the gun at him first

Then he added,

The one I hate more than anyone,

I regret the days when I treated him like my little brother,

I thought that when I left Subin with him, he would take care of her in my absence, but I really regret it,

I wasn't supposed to leave you; It's my fault, Subin, don't forgive me for my naivety, I don't deserve to ask for forgiveness now, forgive me only when I get your revenge

Ji-Ho entered to the police station looking around to find any information that might help him to check his condition Sojin, trying to find any way to be able to help him At least he wants to know the latest developments so that he can help him as soon as possible

While examining this, Ji-Ho is surprised to find a friend of his, who used to go to the Art Academy when Ji-Ho was in high school, he was called Dohyun.,

As he remembers, this boy was very good at drawing and sculpting, so he was surprised to see him working in the police field

Dohyun welcomed him and said,

- Ji-Ho? Is this you? How are you doing, man?

In a lukewarm tone, Ji-Ho replied

Hi, Dohyun, how are you?" Dohyun replied,

"What's wrong with you, where is the friendly face you used to have, are you okay?"

- Also...

- Tell me why are you here, I mean, why did you come here?

Ji-Ho replied:

- I came here for a friend - Dohyun said wondering:

Friend?

added Ji-Ho:

- Yes, friend, it's Sujin, he's the accused, who just came here with the handcuffs of the police.

Dohyun furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Ji-Ho and said:

- Ah, this angry man, there seems to be a story behind that face.

Ji-Ho answered with a sad face:

- Yes, he is like my older brother, can I visit him? I want to talk to him and see what I can do to help him

Detective Dohyun said:

I don't think I can arrange it today but maybe tomorrow

A sign of frustration appeared on Ji-Hu's face for a moment, then he said

- Well, Dohyun at least promise me I'll meet him tomorrow-

Then Dohyun added:

- Well, it seems you are really interested in him, I don't accept bribes, but I'll just pass it on today for you to have dinner together,

Now let's get something to drink and talk I'm hungry

Dohyun puts his arm on Ji-Ho's shoulder, then says:

- Come on, there is a restaurant located a few meters away

After a few minutes passed, they both arrived at the restaurant and took their places, then Dohyun looked at Ji-Ho and said:

- On our way here, you were silent, what's on your mind, share your thoughts with me, maybe I can ease your confusion on your features

Ji-Ho looked at him and said:

- I don't want to talk, Dohyun, do you know why, because when I remember, I hate myself more,

Seeing Sujin today makes me remember the days I spent with him and Subin ...

Dohyun interrupted him,

"Subin? Who is she?"

Ji-Ho answered:

Do you remember in my last year of college when I told you that I had finally found a purpose in my life?

- Yes, I remember, I was very happy, I always asked you, but you never told me,

Anyway, I was expecting that the reason for your happiness, is that there is a beautiful girl, so where is she now?

Ji-Ho sighed and then added a sad grumpy,

she left this world five years ago

- Excuse me, for intruding, how did that happen?

- It was a car accident

- I'm sorry for you Ji-Ho, it seems tonight will not pass you by peacefully

************

In the corner room, in the pavilion of the darkened section, Sujin sat looking at the wall, above which was a small iron window, through which he could see the moonlight,

He sighed after this long day and then became overwhelmed with his thoughts about Subin and his revenge on her:

Do you know, Subin, this cold night reminds me again of the darkest of nights, when I knew I could no longer see you,

Despite the moonlight that illuminates the room now, I still see only darkness and blackness around me,

On nights like these, I try to pull myself together and get back on my feet just to avenge you.,

He sighed a little and then added:

My only way to get through these days was to sit like this and look at the sky,

I'm trying to gather my memories with you since your childhood, like a video tape that passes by me, you know how much I loved you, but I treated you like my little girl, even though the age difference was not great between us, but I entrusted myself to be everything to you,

And you were a sister's right, an obedient, intelligent, benevolent girl, you had a strong sense of justice, you cared about everyone around you and you only took care of yourself in the latter, but do you know, Subin? .....

I apologize,

I apologize for raising you so beautiful and decent, I should have taught you how to live in this world,

I should have taught you to be more cunning and careful of your life, I had to make you look only at yourself, to be selfish, I had to teach you how to extract venom from the snakes around you without hurting yourself

Even though you were my younger sister, you were so considerate of me,

I remember when I accepted my dream job, I told you I would turn down the offer in exchange for continuing to be by your side until you got your job. ,

Then you did nothing but support me, push me to pursue my dreams, you told me then that he came with you side by side until my return, I was wrong, I was selfish, blinded by the dream of my life, trusting in Ji-Ho, unaware of the bitter life you were living, so I also deserve revenge

I will avenge myself as soon as I get your revenge on all the criminals

I promise you, Subin, I won't leave you alone for long, I'll just finish my job and catch you up

Then Sujin continued to speak angrily:

Your day will come soon,

*********

In front of Elite University Hall for celebrations,

Min-Ki and Mi-Young are standing in the parking lot

Dak-Ho was talking on the phone with a troubled look on his face, which made Min-Ki, wondering:

What's the matter, are you all right, Dak-Ho?

- Dak-Ho answered:

I was talking to my father now, he said he had received a notice that tomorrow they would all summon us as witnesses to today's accident.

Mi-Young said:

- what? I can't according to my schedule I need to travel tomorrow to attend a fashion show in France and then it happened in full view of all the people what do they need from us?

Min-Ki said impulsively:

Did you forget what happened... The three of us should come... Do you want to suspect us and open a page that has been closed for years?

I think we've all grown up and have a lot to fear, you shouldn't act rashly from now on...

Dak-Ho interrupted them, saying:

Guys, let's go tomorrow, and close this page for good...

Dak-Ho couldn't finish his sentence as his phone rang and he pulled away a little from Mi-Young, talking to his wife on the phone saying:

- Where are you dear? Yes of course it was a good party, and I met some friends....

Mi-Young looks at Min-Ki and speaks

"Have you seen how he tries to make his life beautiful in front of us, I bet he struggles to live with her surely his wife is old or ugly"

Min-Ki quickly added,

Not at all, she is the most famous doctor in her field, and she is also very beautiful,

People call it the savior of the nation as it also has many charities ...

Mi-Young interrupted him as she was clearly jealous:

Well, looks like it was an arranged marriage

Min-Ki answered in a serious tone Mi-Young, stop exaggerating

Mi-Young added,

What is it, Min-Ki, didn't you say you weren't in contact with any of us! Looks like you live with them

Min-Ki said impulsively:

- Do you still love him? You know he loves no one, but himself, have you forgotten how he let you down years ago?

Mi-Young quickly replied in an angry voice

- Min-Ki, that's enough, what happened that made you so angry! If someone sees us now,

You'll look like you care about me, and that is a matter ...

Before Mi-Young finished her sentence, Dak-Ho hurriedly approached her and said,

I will have to leave now; my parents and my family are waiting for me for dinner - see you tomorrow.

After Dak-Ho said goodbye to them and left, Min-Ki suggested that he drive the car to deliver Mi-Young to her home.

- Mi-Young, may I drive you home? - You look tired.

- Well, let's go because I'm not in a good mood, I'd rather not drive alone.

Min-Ki opened the car door for Mi-Young to sit next to him and while he was driving, he drowned in his thoughts about Dak-Ho and Mi-Young, as he was wondering about Mi-Young's attitude towards Dak Kho and his wife, how she was still interested in him, and why he was upset about this. , Min-Ki lied when he said that he did not follow their news, on the contrary, he was following Mi-Young's news in private, even after she got married, he also knew that her life was not happy with her husband and that many rumors spread around them, they say that she wants a divorce, but Her father refuses this because of financial partnerships with her husband

Then Mi-Young interrupted him with a frightened tone and a worried face:

- Min-Ki, be careful

- Watch out! What's wrong with you?

Min-Ki answers saying:

- What? Is she...?
