Chapter 16
Hyesung turned on his computer at 10:00 pm.
The guys hadn't let him go back to school.
And he didn't mind.
It felt good to be wanted. He turned his attention back to the screen.
YOU GOT MAIL.
He clicked his mailbox.
A message from Silver 1004.
Hmm.
He opened it.
Hi Oppa! I guess Yoonmi told you by now that I'm in America. Sorry I couldn’t tell you! But I couldn't see you and you know... well anyway I'm staying with Mr. Ahn at a hotel with a Mr. Shin. Hope I can come back soon!
Mr. Shin?
"UMMA!!!!"
He ran to his mom.
"Appa... What's he doing in Japan?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, He had to go to America because that nice friend of yours? Chilhyun? Well his concert got moved to America and he's supervising the concert."
"Thank you Bye!"
He ran to his room again.
So.
Haena was with his father and Kangta.
His dad never approved of relationships…
And…why bother staying with her…if he couldn’t trust her…and if she didn’t love him…
He slowly opened the Create Mail box.
”Dear Haena. I think we should stop seeing each other. I know it has been only two days, but I think we are totally wrong for each other. Bye. Hyesung."
He slowly clicked send and went to the bathroom sadly...not quite sure why he had done that…
He didn't see the flashing sign.
FAILURE TO SEND MESSAGE.
Hyesung walked in with closed eyes and fell onto the bed, sick with what he had done.
His mother came in a few minutes later and tucked him in.
She turned off the computer and the lights and walked out quietly.
~+~
I walked into my hotel room, awed.
The walls were painted a soft ivory color and the furniture was all white. One side of the wall was a mirror and the other side had the bed. The other two sides were decorated tastefully and a vase full of carnations sat on a table.
"It’s quite pretty."
I looked back in surprise.
Kangta had walked in behind me.
"Oh, yes. Thank you for the room."
"No need."
"Umm."
I didn't know what to say to that.
"Our next rehearsal is in one hour. Be on time."
Kangta had turned into Mr. Ahn again.
Business like.
Stern.
Stiff.
I peered into another room connected to it.
This room, was less elegant, more me.
There was a piano, a couch, computer, phone, and desk.
I looked at the bed outside and looked at the couch.
I smiled softly and went to sleep on the couch.

*Dream*
"Umma, umma...please. I'll try harder to be good, I promise. Appa...please."
Two faces lined with wrinkles stared at her and shook their heads.
The ajumah looked at her hard.
"Haena, all you've caused is trouble. What do you want from us." Her voice was cold.
"Leave. Now. " Appa said.
"APPA!!!"
The man suddenly had a belt in his hand.
He whipped it across her back.
She crumpled to the ground.
Her things appeared on the floor next to her.
They kicked it at her.
"GO!" They both yelled at her.
*End of Dream*
I woke up, tears dripping down my face.
Tears streaming down my face.
And through that blurred vision I saw Kangta's feet.
Kangta.

Chapter 17
I quickly wiped away my tears, letting my hair shield my face.
"Hello Mr. Ahn, I'm sorry for being late."
"You're not late."
Say what?
Then what was he doing here?
I looked at him.
"Here."
He handed me my luggage.
Very small, since I had few belongings.
But...Kangta? He was...he would...
He ...lowered himself to be a bellboy?
I marveled.
He handed me some money.
"Here. Keep this for your stay. It's not your payment, so don't worry about that. This is just extra money. Tell me when you need more."
He turned and walked out.
Money?
For my stay?
I felt like a babo.
Why the hell was Kangta giving me money?
I sighed.
Confusing.
My thoughts wandered back to my dream and my face sobered.
"Umma...Appa...saranghae." I whispered.
A single tear rolled slowly down my face.
~+~
"PILGYO!!! PHONE!"
Hyesung groaned and rolled over to pick up the phone.
"Hello?"
"HYESUNG WHERE WERE YOU!!!!" Yoonmi shrieked.
"Dayam girl, I'm sleeping. In my bed. In my room. In my house."
"Babo. YESTERDAY!!!!!!"
"Oh." Hyesung was silent.
"You don't need to know."
"WHAT! I. AM. YOUR. BEST. FRIEND!!!!" She yelled out each word.
"Fine. You know what? I fuckin broke up with Haena, I'm in a fuckin gang, I think America fuckin sucks, and I want you to fuck off!"
Hyesung angrily hung up the phone.
Yoonmi glared at the phone.
Hyesung covered his face with his hands and groaned again.
"Haena...I hope she forgives me. Of course she will. She'll find another person that's much better than me."
He groaned again.
That didn't comfort him a lot.
"AIGO and NOW I'm TALKING to MYSELF!!"
He buried his head in his pillow and yelled.
~+~
::clap clap clap::
"Beautiful. You both have tremendous talent." Mr. Shin complimented us.
I bowed my head and Kangta said thank you.
"Now, if only my stepson had a talent like you too, haha."
Kangta looked scared and worried.
"No, Pilgyo is a good kid."
Mr. Shin smiled.
"I'm thankful he has friends like you."
I was bewildered.
Who was Pilgyo?
Kangta has friends other than Hyesung?
Aish, what a confusing place.
"Mr. Ahn, Mr. Shin, may I go out now? I would like to visit my friend."
"Sure, sure, sure." Mr. Shin nodded.
Kangta just looked at me and moved his head the slightest bit.
"Thank you."
*Outside*
"TAXI!"
Soon a taxi pulled over and I climbed in.
I gave the old taxi driver directions and he pulled away.
At the corner of my eye I saw Kangta staring at me with his eyes... they had a feeling in them?
I sighed.
Girl, you need to get your eyes checked.
Kangta has no feelings except for coffee.
The car stopped and I quickly paid him and got out.
I slowly walked up the front walk and knocked on the white door.
A man opened it.
