Chapter 18

Jae-hwan to Eun-sook,"Hey"

Eun-sook smiles and says,"Hello"

Jae-hwan,"You should speak formally with me"

Eun-sook,"But, I guess you are elder than me"

Jae-hwan,"It doesn't matter until to the person you are talking is comfortable with that"

Eun-sook,"But still.."

Jae-hwan suddenly,"I'm 23"

Eun-sook,"I'm around 19"

Jae-hwan said,"Then no problem"

"You can talk formally"

Eun-sook,"No, I can't"

"And I feel good when I talk like this"

Jae-hwan,"Okay, then as you wish"

"But remember that I have never stopped you"

Eun-sook,"Yes, sir"

"Anything you want to order"

Jae-hwan,"What?"

Eun-sook,"I mean this is a bakery shop and you came here"

"So, you must want to order something"

Jae-hwan,"No, I came here for you"

[Eun-sook stopped for a while]

(Jae-hwan thought she might be gonna think again)

So, Jae-hwan lied,"I'm joking"

Eun-sook,"Oh"

Jae-hwan pointed back,"I want that"

Eun-sook,"Okay"

Another customer came by..

And she starts doing her work

[After few hours]

Eun-sook,"Oh, my work is done"

"I should leave"

[Eun-sook comes out of the shop]

"A good day"

[She enters in her house happily]

Aunt saw Eun-sook smiling

Aunt,"I can't believe that she is with a boy"

(She saw Eun-sook with Jae-hwan out of her house)

"She tries to be so innocent but she is.."

"Can't believe what I saw"

"That's why she was flying high"

She rushes to uncle and says something..

Uncle shouts loudly,"Eun-sook, you fool come here"

Eun-sook heard and she was scared,"What happened now?"

[She suddenly comes out of her room]

Uncle hits her hard as soon as she came out,

Eun-sook falls hard on the floor

Uncle loudly said to Ji-hyun,"Where is my belt, Yoo ji-hyun"

"Bring it to me"

"I'm gonna kill her today"

Eun-sook stood up and asked,"But what have I done now?"

"Why are you so angry with me?"

Uncle burns up with anger and he hits her again,

Uncle angrily,"You shameless girl, talking back to me"

"You don't know what have you done!"

"You are seriously gonna destroy everyone's life who is with you"

"You are really a shameful girl"

He hits her again,

Uncle shouts,"Yoo ji-hyun, I told you to bring my belt"

"Where it is?"

Aunt,"It was broken"

Uncle,"What?"

"Okay no worry my hand is enough to bring her back to her right path"

He beats her again and says,"When school gave you leave, you were going out like you was going to school"

"But you were dating a guy"

"Bunking the school for a date"

Eun-sook was sobbing and she said,"No, I'm not dating anyone"

Uncle became angry and said,"First of all doing wrong things than lying"

"I will kill you if I will see you with a guy ever"

He hits her so hard that this time Eun-sook passed out,

Aunt saw her and said to bo-gum,"Honey, stop see she is dead"

Aunt corrects her word,"I mean she passed out"

Uncle angrily,"So, what should I do?"

[He leaves]

Aunt,"What should I do?"

"I thought he is gonna bring her to the right path"

"But something else happened"

"What if we are gonna be charged for murder?"

"I have to do something"

Aunt comes up with an idea,"Yes, I will just leave her in the hospital after that I don't care about what's gonna happen to her"

"If this is the way to get rid of her, than it's good"

[Aunt took her to the hospital]

Aunt to doctor,"See her, I found this girl on the road side"

Doctor,"Her condition doesn't seem good"

"We have to treat her now"

[Aunt leaves suddenly]

[After her treatment]

Doctor tense,"It seems like an assault case"

"We should inform the police quickly"

Nurse,"Okay"

Doctor questions,"But where is that lady, who brought her here?"

"She just said that, she found her on road and that's it?"

Nurse,"She already left I checked at the counter and there was no information about her"

Doctor,"She seemed to be suspicious"

"Call the police now, we have to report this"

"And show the CCTV footage to the police"

Nurse,"Okay"

[Nurse calls the police]

[Police arrived]

Doctor to police,"Officer, we have a patient, whose situation is like she is being assaulted"

Police officer,"Any information about the patient"

Doctor,"No, but one lady brought her here"

"And she seemed suspicious"

"She just said that she found her on road"

"And she left without any other information"

Police officer,"We have to talk to the patient"

"So, that we can get some information"

Doctor,"Officer, she is unconscious"

Police officer,"Okay, so inform us when she will be in conscious state"

Doctor,"Okay, don't worry we will inform you soon"

[Eun-sook opens her eyes]

She saw the lights flashing in her eyes. As she has seen this light many time. She came to know that she is in hospital.

Nurse calls the doctor immediately.

Doctor to Eun-sook,"Are you okay?"

(Eun-sook tries to sit up)

Nurse helps her

But Eun-sook quickly shooked her hand and sits up on her own

(Doctor thought that she might be angry or not like being touched by others)

Eun-sook body was aching,

Doctor asks again,"How are you?"

"Feeling good!"

Eun-sook was listening but she didn't said anything

Doctor thought she can't hear, so he asks him in sign language

Eun-sook closed her eyes and said nothing

[Doctor understood that she doesn't wants to speak up]

Doctor said to Eun-sook,"Listen child, I know that you don't want to speak"

"But still you should say something"

Again no response from Eun-sook

Doctor said to nurse,"Call the police"

"And tell that she is conscious"

Nurse rushes outside and calls the police

[Police came to hospital]

Officer asked to Eun-sook,"Are you feeling good?"

Eun-sook was silent

Officer,"Can you tell us your name and from where you are?"

She was still silent

Officer,"Okay, so you are not gonna say something"

"But I will ask again"

"Can you tell what had happened to you"

Again Eun-sook said nothing

[Officer came outside and calls doctor]

Officer to doctor,"Is that she can't hear!"

Doctor,"She can hear we have checked it!"

Officer,"Then I think, something bad must have happened to her"

"And that's why she isn't speaking!"

Doctor nodded and said,"Yes, you are right"

"The bruises on her face and body seems like someone has hitted her badly"

Officer,"That's not good"

"We have to find the culprit soon"

"And keep us updated about her, if she says something"

Doctor,"Okay, I will keep that in mind"
