chapter five
A couple months had passed by after Kang Ta's death and Hee Jun, Woo Hyuk, Tony, and Jae Won were still very angry and sad about the death of him. Hee Jun was over at Tony's house and they were talking. "You know, I don't believe that Kang Ta committed suicide. It just doesn't sound right. I know he wouldn't do that," Hee Jun said. "I know. Nothing adds up...I mean, I don't think that Kang Ta would have purposely shoot himself in the right chest, then shoot himself again," Tony included. "Something is up, and I know that it has to do with that bastard, Hye Sang," Hee Jun said. "And I'm going to find out the truth." That was the end of that conversation because Hee Jun just walked out of the house. Hee Jun decided to walk over to Hye Sang's house and talk Hye Sang. When he got there, the only car in their driveway was Hye Sang's car. He walked up to the door and the door was open. When he was about to ring the doorbell, he heard a laugh. It was Hye Sang's laugh. He was talking to somebody and obviously, Hye Sang was on the phone because no one answered back. So Hee Jun decided to listen to the phone conversation. "Jun Jin, I can't believe that the people of this town thought that Kang Ta committed suicide," Hye Sang laughed. "I mean, that was great! Kang Ta is so dumb! I told him that I was gonna get him back. No one told him to mess with my girlfriend." He paused then talked again. "We killed him and got away with it. Damn, that's hella funny!" He paused again, "Jun Jin, I gotta go now. So I'll talk to you some other time. Bye." Hee Jun knew now. It was Hye Sang and Jun Jin who killed Kang Ta. Hee Jun was right the whole time. He was so shocked. He didn't know what to do. He just walked away. On his walk back home, he thought. He knew that if he told the police, they would question Hye Sang but Hye Sang would lie. And if the police didn't believe him, he would bribe them with money, and the policemen would take the money and keep their mouth shut. Hee Jun also had no evidence that Hye Sang was the killer. So he took matters into his own hands. He became angry now and he had to do something. He thought about it long and hard and decided that he was going to kill Hye Sang. Even if it meant that he would be spending the rest of his life in jail. He just didn't care...Just as long as he got revenge for his friend. Next week flew by and Hee Jun did not tell anyone about his plan, for he knew that if he did tell anyone, the word would get out and he'd be in trouble. He didn't even tell Woo Hyuk, Tony, or Jae Won. He decided that the only person he would tell was Julie. So he drove to Julie's house. "Julie, I have something to tell you," Hee Jun said. "Yes?" Julie smiled. Her father was in the backyard, looking at their fruit garden. "Well, Kang Ta's death made a big impact on all our lives," he went on. "And I know for a fact that Kang Ta did not commit suicide. In fact, I know who killed him. It was Hye Sang." "Well, we have to tell the police," Julie was shocked. "No, that won't do any good," Hee Jun snapped. "Yes it will." "Just listen to me. If we tell, Hye Sang and his family will lie, and if they don't, they'll most likely bribe the police. And you know how stupid the police are. They'll take the money. Besides, I have no evidence that Hye Sang killed Kang Ta. But I was walking by Hye Sang's house last week and I heard him talking to Jun Jin. He said that he killed Kang Ta and the people of this town were so stupid for believing that Kang Ta committed suicide." "Oh my god," Julie's jaw dropped open. "I've decided to take matters into my own hands," Hee Jun had to explain no more. "No Hee Jun. I don't want you to do that," Julie knew right away what he was talking about. "I have to. Revenge for Kang Ta. And Hye Sang shouldn't get away with killing a person." "No, please," Julie's eyes became watery. "Trust me, I'll get back safe." "Hee Jun, don't do this. You know you won't get away with this. They'll find out sooner or later that you did it." "I don't care if they find out. I'm willing to serve a life sentence for Kang Ta." "Hee Jun," Julie was interrupted. "Listen to me. When I wanna do something, I will get it done. NO one will stop me," Hee Jun cleared. "I'm going to go tomorrow night. Promise me that you won't tell anyone." "I can't." "PROMISE me," Hee Jun demanded. "I....I....promise," tears ran down Julie's cheeks. "I love you, Julie," Hee Jun said, pulling her into his arms. Tomorrow night had already come and Hee Jun was at Julie's house. Julie's father was already asleep. "I'll be back by tonight and I will call you as soon as I get back," Hee Jun said. "Promise me you'll call me," Julie made him promise. "I promise." They walked over to the door. "I love you," Hee Jun said, hugging Julie. "I love you too," Julie replied. She gave him a wet, long kiss on the lips. "Be careful." Hee Jun walked out of the door. Hee Jun already knew where Hye Sang was going to be that night. Hye Sang and his friends were going out to drink for a celebration. Hee Jun planned that when they were going to leave, he would kill Hye Sang when he was alone. Hee Jun knew the bar that Hye Sang and his friends always went to, to drink. That night, Hee Jun waited until eleven for Hye Sang to come out. Jun Jin, Eric, Min Woo, Andy, and Dong Wan were all there. They all had left before Hye Sang because Hye Sang went back in for another drink. When Hye Sang walked out, he headed towards the end of the block because his car was parked there. There was an alley between his car and the bar so Hee Jun hid there. As Hye Sang went past the alley, Hee Jun ran up behind Hye Sang and pulled him into the alley. Then Hee Jun punched him in the stomach. "You fuckin' asshole. You think you could get away with killing Kang Ta?" Hee Jun threw another punch at Hye Sang's stomach. Hye Sang stood back up and laughed. "Yeah, I killed Kang Ta. What are you gonna do about it?" Hee Jun threw another punch at him, but Hye Sang blocked the punch. Hye Sang punched Hee Jun back. Then he kicked Hee Jun in the face. Hee Jun fell to the ground. Hye Sang picked Hee Jun up and when he was about to kick Hee Jun in the stomach, Hee Jun punched him again. Then Hee Jun threw more punches at him. They were fighting and no one knew what was going on because it was really late and no one was in the alley. While Hee Jun and Hye Sang were fighting, a couple cars pulled up. Jun Jin, Eric, Min Woo, Dong Wan, and Andy jumped out. Andy had opened the trunk to get a bat. They all ran up to Hee Jun and pulled him off of Hye Sang. Hee Jun struggled but couldn't get loose. Andy walked up with the bat and forcefully hit Hee Jun in the leg. Hee Jun yelled. "Are you alright man?" Eric asked Hye Sang. Hye Sang got up and quickly took the bat from Andy. He wiped the blood off his lip and went up to Hee Jun. "You are so stupid for waiting outside so long. We knew it was you," Hye Sang laughed. Hee Jun was too hurt to say anything. Jun Jin and Dong Wan were holding Hee Jun tightly. Then, Hye Sang hit his leg again with another powerful blow. Hee Jun yelled, falling to the ground. Hee Jun couldn't move his leg. It was broken. "Yo Hye Sang. I think that it would be best if we just killed him," Eric suggested devilishly. "Aight," Hye Sang agreed. Eric laughed a devilish laugh and pulled out his gun. "Hey Hee Jun? Remember when we were kids and I said I'd get you back?" Eric asked, kneeling down next to Hee Jun and pointing the gun to his head. Hee Jun looked at Eric with pain and spat in his face. Eric got angry and wiped off the blood on his face slowly, then looked at Hee Jun. "Do it," Hee Jun demanded without hesitation. Eric pointed to Hee Jun's head again and right before he pulled the trigger, he pointed to Hee Jun's lower abs and shot him. Hee Jun yelled again with pain. "I want you to die slow and painful!" Eric smiled. They all laughed, walked to their cars, and drove off, leaving Hee Jun there to die. Hee Jun gasped for air. He felt light headed and a lot of pain. The pain started from where they shot him and headed up towards his head. He could feel it. While still gasping for air, he laid there. Julie knew she had waited too long. She just couldn't take it anymore. She had to tell someone. Hee Jun just took too long to call her. It was already twelve midnight. She rocked back and forth in her chair by the phone. She finally reached out to the phone and picked it up. She was going to tell Woo Hyuk. She dialed Woo Hyuk's number and waited for someone to pick up. "Hello?" a tired voice answered on the other line. "Woo Hyuk?" Julie started crying. "What? Julie? What's wrong?" Woo Hyuk sat up. "Oh, I'm so scared. Hee Jun left and he said he'd call and he hasn't called yet and," "Julie, calm down. What's wrong? Talk slower." "Oh my god..." Julie cried on the other line. "...Hee Jun said he was going to kill Hye Sang tonight and he hasn't called me yet. He left at nine and he's not back." "What? Hee Jun went to do what? Why?" Woo Hyuk was concerned. "He said he was going to kill Hye Sang because Hye Sang killed Kang Ta..." Julie was crying hysterically. "Wholey ****. Do you know where?" Woo Hyuk got off his bed and put on some clothes quickly. "He told me that he was going to the bar that Hye Sang always went to," Julie cried. "Ey, gotta go. Bye." Woo Hyuk called Tony and Jae Won quickly and he went to pick them up. Tony brought along a bat just in case.
