my attacker. It was a boy who looked a little bit older than me. His 
face and clothes were dirty but he had really good features so I could 
tell he was extremely good-looking. But this was not a time to think 
about such things. He held a table knife at my throat and said, “Give 
me all your money or I'll kill you.” I panicked but I knew what to do. 
I used the move I wanted to use on my step mom every time she pinned me 
down and hit me. I kicked him hard right into his family jewels. He 
gasped and fell to the floor, dropping the knife. I picked up my 
groceries and ran. I guess you can call me the dumbest person alive. I 
was afraid I had kicked the boy too hard and permanently damaged him. 
Besides, since my life is hell already, I didn't want him to go through 
it too. So I turned back. When I came back to the alley, the boy was 
still lying on the floor. He was moaning softly. I lifted him up 
gently. “Are you okay?” I asked. He shook his head no. “I'm sorry,” I 
said to him. I reached into my pocket and pulled the money Mr. Choi 
gave me. “If you need money, then here. All I have is ten dollars.” I 
placed the money in his hand and walked away. He looked at me with this 
weird expression that I couldn't read. I picked up my groceries and 
this time I left without turning back. I could tell the boy was 
watching me as I was walking away.. ********** Part 4 ********** Ji Won 
stared at the girl who had just walked away. ‘She must be the nicest or 
dumbest person in this world,' he thought. He began to stand up but had 
to use the wall for balance. That girl had kicked him a little too 
hard. Ji Won had just run away from home again. He had run away so many 
times that the alley was his second home. When he ran away he always 
stole his parents' money. They were the richest people in all of Hawaii 
but they were also the most messed up family. His dad would have a lot 
of women with him and would betray a friend if it would bring him 
money. His mom, on the other hand, was an exact duplicate of his dad. 
She always had these young men around her and spends money like crazy. 
His parents were divorced and lived on opposite ends of Hawaii. 
‘*bleep* and bastard,' thought Ji Won. When he ran away this time, he 
didn't have the chance to steal any money from his dad. So he had no 
choice but to rob somebody. When he saw the young girl walking out of 
the store, she seemed to be the perfect target. But things didn't turn 
out as planned. Ji Won kept wondering why the girl gave him the money 
even though he could have killed her. Ji Won knew he couldn't take the 
money because she was the first person in his messed up life that was 
nice to him because she wanted to be, not because she wanted something 
from him. He wanted to give the money back. When he gained some of his 
strength back, he began to chase her... 

********** Part 5 ********** When I came home, I was greeted by the
usual words. ‘Ugly wretch, wicked girl, freeloader, etc.' but luckily I 
made it through dinner fine. When dinner ended, my parents went to 
sleep leaving me with the dishes. I cleaned the table and washed the 
dishes. I also took out the trash and then suddenly I felt someone grab 
me from behind. My attacker turned me around to face him. It was the 
same boy I met in the alley. I began to panic. “I gave you all my money 
already! What more do you want from me?” He raised a finger to his lips 
and tried to shush me. I felt one of my attacks coming on. I started to 
hyperventilate and couldn't breathe. I was beginning to black out. Ji 
Won looked at the girl who looked like she was going to die. “Oh my 
God! Are you okay?” This time it was the girl's turn to shake her head 
no. Then she collapsed in his arms. Ji Won didn't know what to do but 
he had to save her life. He began to give her mouth-to-mouth. “Come 
on,” he whispered to her. “Breathe. Don't die on me.” After a while she 
began coughing and opened her eyes. I opened my eyes and saw a blurry 
object heading towards me. Then I felt something soft pressing against 
my lips and I felt a gust of air. Then I realized the boy was giving me 
air. I couldn't believe what was happening. I blushed and gently pushed 
him away. “Thank you for saving me. I'm okay now.” The boy turned 
slightly red. “Uhh...you're welcome. You kinda scared me there.” “Sorry 
about that. Well, what is it that you want from me?” “Here.” He handed 
me back the same ten dollars I had given him. I looked up at him. “No, 
it's okay. Keep it. I think you need it or you wouldn't have tried to 
rob me.” He shook his head. “No. I just wanted to borrow it only. I 
don't take charity. Well, goodbye.” Just as he walked away, I heard his 
stomach grumble. I bit my tongue so I wouldn't laugh. Since he didn't 
take charity, I said, “Um, hey. I just made some food and I don't know 
if it's good or not. I need a guinea pig because I don't want to serve 
it to my parents if it isn't and besides, you did save my life. Ji Won 
looked at her. ‘Why is she being so nice to me?' he thought. He knew 
she was just saying that because she heard him say he doesn't want 
charity. Ji Won's stomach was growling like crazy. He hasn't eaten for 
2 days already and the mention of food was killing him. “Uh, okay. I 
guess I'll be your guinea pig since I have nothing to do.” He studied 
her face as she smiled at him. ‘She's pretty,' he thought as he smiled 
back. 

********** Part 6 ********** I let the boy wait outside as I got some of
the leftover mee-yuk-gook for him. He finished it in less than a 
minute. Then he leaned back and sighed. Out of nowhere, he let out a 
burp. I had to giggle. He looked at me and smiled. “Sorry about that.” 
“It's okay.” I hesitated before I asked him the next question. 
“Umm...so what's your name?” He glanced at me and then stared at the 
ground. I could tell he was debating to tell me his real name or not. I 
didn't want him to feel obligated to telling me his name. “It's okay. 
You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.” Ji Won looked at her 
surprised. “No! It isn't that!” he yelled. She stared back at him 
surprised too. Then he lowered his voice. “I'm sorry. Please don't 
misunderstand.” She nodded her head slowly and Ji Won can tell that she 
was confused. Ji Won felt that he could trust her and he wanted her to 
be his friend. “My name is Eun Ji Won and you are?” “Nam Mi-Na, but 
call me Mina. It's easier to remember.” Then she gave him the sweetest 
smile. Ji Won felt his heart beat a little faster when she smiled at 
him. He blushed and looks away. “So uh, how old are you?” “13,” she 
replied. “And you Ji Wonee?” He smiled when she called him that. “I'm 
15,” he said turning back to look at her. “15?” I asked in disbelief. 
Ji Won nodded. “Where are your parents oppa? You're too young to be 
living in the streets.” He shrugged his shoulders. “I can take care of 
myself.” I gave him a doubting look because he was trying to pull that 
tough guy act on me. “It's okay though,” he told me. “I have a family. 
It's just that things are bad at home so I'm just getting away from it 
for a while.” ‘So he ran away,' I figured out. I could tell that Ji Won 
was a good person. “Do you have a place to stay tonight?” He shook his 
head. “How about staying in my room then,” I offered. Ji Won couldn't 
believe his ears. He stared at Mina. ‘Did she just offer him a place to 
stay?' “Ji Won?” Mina asked as she waved a hand in front of his face. 
“Are you okay?” Ji Won shook his head and snapped out of it. She placed 
her hand on his knee. “Oppa, I asked if you want to stay in my room for 
tonight?” Ji Won was so touched that he felt his heartache. No one had 
ever cared about him so much but he didn't want to feel as though he 
owed her. “No thanks.” Mina looked at him with her big sad eyes. 
“Please oppa? I'm afraid of the dark.” Ji Won smiled. He knew she was 
lying so he would say yes. For the first time in his life, Ji Won felt 
warm inside because now he is wanted. He let out a sigh. “Aigo Mina, 
okay. You talked me into it. But just for tonight though.” She giggled 
and nodded. “Okay.” 

********** Part 7 ********** Silently, I led Ji Won into my room. My
room was small and luckily, it was far away from my parents so they 
can't hear much. I let Ji Won have the bed while I take the floor. 
‘Damn,' I thought. ‘Why does the floor have to be so cold and hard?' Ji 
Won stared down at Mina who was trying to sleep on the cold stone 
floor. He picked her up easily and lifted her onto the bed. “Oppa? What 
are you doing?” I whispered, as my eyes grew wide. “Do you trust me?” 
he asked. I nodded my head slowly. “Good,” he said. “This bed is small 
but it'll fit both of us.” My eyes grew wider at what Ji Won had just 
said. But I had just told him that I trust him. I couldn't take my 
words back so I had no choice but to sleep with him. We both got in my 
bed and slept side-by-side. I was so nervous, I couldn't sleep. Ji Won, 
on the other hand, had no problem. He fell asleep instantly. I turned 
my head over to look at him. His face was so innocent like an angel 
when he was sleeping. Who would have thought he was such a devil when 
he's awake and moving? An hour had passed and it was 3' in the morning. 
I still couldn't sleep. Suddenly something weird happen. Ji Won turned 
his entire body around and did a 360, kicking me. “Ow!” I cried out but 
covered my mouth so my parents wouldn't hear me. When he was done, he 
had this happy look on his face. At first I thought he was just playing 
with me but he really did do a 360 in his sleep. Suddenly he reached 
over and held me tight. My entire body went tense and rigid. I could 
feel Ji Won's light breathing on my neck. I don't know why but now that 
Ji Won was this close (practically laying on top of me) made me feel 
better. It's probably cause I've never been this close to a person in a 
long time. Soon I began to fall asleep too... 

********** Part 8 ********** November 1, 1993 Ji Won opened his eyes and
found himself laying partially on Mina's body. He blushed and slowly 
moved away from her. Then he just lay near her watching her sleep. 
Suddenly it caught his eyes. The sleeves and pant legs of her pajamas 
were lifted up and he got a good look at her arms and legs. Dark purple 
bruises cover her entire body. There were several scars on her legs and 
arms too. Red lines run across her legs and it made Ji Won wince 
because it looked so painful. He didn't want to disturb Mina but he was 
really curious. She turned over and Ji Won lifted the back of her 
shirt. It was even worse than her legs. Ji Won opened his mouth lightly 
in shock and touched her bare back delicately, fearing that he might 
hurt her. Mina began to stir. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. I saw Ji Won 
looking at me with this sad expression on his face. “What's wrong 
oppa?” I asked. “Who did this to you?” Then he lifted the sleeve of my 
shirt. I opened my mouth in shock. I tried to hide it but I couldn't 
believe he saw my bruises. As I tried to answer him, I heard my step 
mom's footsteps heading towards my room. “Oppa!” I yelled, turning back 
to Ji Won, who was rubbing my bruises. “You have to get out of here! My 
mom is coming!” Ji Won looked at me surprised but I opened my window 
for him to climb out. “Climb down this tree. Goodbye Ji Wonee,” I said 
to him with tears in my eyes. Ji Won remained silent the whole time as 
he left her room. But he didn't leave though. He sat on the branch of 
her tree and looked through her window. He couldn't hear what Mina and 
her mom were talking about but he saw it. He saw Mina's mom bring out a 
small wooden stick and whack Mina with it several times. Ji Won 
couldn't take it anymore. He busted back into Mina's room. 

********** Part 9 ********** I looked up at my stepmother in pain. “I'm
sorry mom. I didn't know we're supposed to have guests today.” She 
glared at me with cold hatred in her eyes. “Mr. Eun, of the Eun 
HotelEmpire all over Hawaii, is coming to visit us. Your father might 
get a promotion if we make a good impression! You're supposed to be 
awake half an hour ago to prepare all of us tea! Now Mr. Eunis is down 
there expecting tea! What am I supposed to do now huh?” My step mom 
began to breathe rapidly as her anger increased. I saw her raise that 
stick of hers again. I curled myself up hoping the pain would lessen 
but I know it wouldn't so I prepared myself for the strike... Ji Won 
caught the stick just before it would hit Mina. Mina's mother stared at 
Ji Won in surprise. Mina opened her eyes and stared at Ji Won in shock. 
He looked down at her. “Mina, are you okay?” “Ji Won!” I screamed. 
“What are you doing here?” Ji Won looked back at me. “I came to save 
you from this evil *bleep*.” My step mom twisted her face in hate. “I 
knew you were trouble all this time Mina. How dare you bring this boy 
home? Wait until I tell your father about this!” Ji Won grabbed my step 
mom's arm to stop her. “You do that and I'll have you fired!” I stared 
at Ji Won dumbfounded. ‘What is he talking about?' “What are you 
talking about you juvenile delinquent?!” snapped my step mom. “I mean,” 
said Ji Won glaring at her. “ That you're having tea with my father 
right now and I'll get you and your husband fired if you hit Mina one 
more time.” I look at Ji Won surprised. ‘Ji Won is the heir of the Eun 
Hotel Empire? His family is the richest in all of Hawaii!' My stepmom 
looked at Ji Won doubtfully. “If you're his son, then how come you're 
so filthy?” Ji Won gaveher a smirk. “I know you want proof. How about 
all of us go down there to talk to my dad?” My stepmom looked at him 
and thought, ‘This is the only way for real evidence. He might get us a 
promotion.' Then she said, “Come on then, boy. Let's go.” 

********** Part 10 ********** All three of us came downstairs together.
Ji Won had to help me down because my legs were too weak to support me. 
Ji Won helped me sit on the couch and he faced the strange man before 
me. Mr. Eun glared at Ji Won. “Hi dad,” said Ji Won. “Where the hell 
have you been Ji Won?” shouted Mr. Eun. My family just watched them 
yell at each other. Ji Won shrugged his shoulders. “Around.” It made 
Mr. Eun really mad but he never hits Ji Won. He continued yelling. Ji 
Won didn't really listen and after a while he cut his dad off. “Look 
dad, shut up about it already and we'll talk about it at home.” ‘Dang,' 
I thought. ‘I could never talk to my parents like that.' Mr. Eun shuts 
up. “Okay son, we'll talk about it at home.” Then Ji Won gestured his 
hand at my entire family. “The Nams were nice enough to let me stay at 
their house. You owe them dad.” Mr. Eun nodded. “Fine. Joon and Young 
A, you two just got a raise.” My stepmom got so excited. “Thank you Mr. 
Eun!” “Come on Ji Won,” said Mr. Eun. “Let's go home. And have that 
talk.” Ji Won brushed his dad's hand ff his shoulder. “Later dad. I'll 
be home in an hour.” His father glared at him. Ji Won glared back. “I 
said one hour.” Mr. Eun knew Ji Won was stubborn. So he agreed. “Fine 
then. One hour.” After Mr. Eun left Ji Won talked to my parents. 
“Listen here,” he said as he sat down next to me. “I can get you hired 
and fired just like that.” And he snapped his fingers. “We know, we 
know,” said my stepmom sweetly, pouring Ji Won some tea. Ji Won didn't 
drink it. “All I want is for you two to not touch Mina anymore. If I 
see another bruise on her, you know the consequences. Ji Won held my 
hand the entire time he spoke with my parents. I felt a strange warmth 
going through me and I knew that right then and there that I was 
falling in love with Eun Ji Won. My dad remained quiet while my 
stepmother talked. “Of course Ji Won.” Ji Won rolled his eyes. “Okay, 
and I'll make sure you keep your promise.” Then Ji Won turned to face 
me. “Come on, let's go.” “What?” I asked confused. “Go to my house with 
me.” “Go go!” said my stepmom pushing me towards Ji Won. “Have fun kids 
and stay out as long as you like.” I knew my stepmom was really ticked 
off but she was playing it off pretty well. 

********** Part 11 ********** Ji Won continued holding my hand and never
once did he let it go. The walk to his house took us 15 minutes and I 
was enjoying every minute of it. When we reached his house, Ji Won let 
out a sigh. “Mina,” he said softly. “Just stay quiet and let me do the 
talking okay?” I nodded my head and we entered his house. His house was 
huge! I felt as though I'm a peasant walking through a castle. He even 
had a few maids and butlers who attended us. Ji Won led me to his room. 
It was nice and clean but there were a lot of holes all around his 
walls. I sat down on his bed as he went into the bathroom to take a 
quick shower. When he was done, he came out and sat next to me, holding 
my hand. I really am in love. “Ji Won, how come your walls have a lot 
of holes?” He shrugged his shoulders and I massaged it for him. As he 
relaxed, he answered me. “Oh, it's cause I fight with my parents a lot 
so I take it out on the walls.” Judging by the holes, I can tell that 
he was really angry every time he made one. “Come on,” he said. He 
lifted me up on his back and gave me a piggyback ride downstairs. He 
smelled so good now that he's clean and fresh. His dad was waiting for 
him in the den. I waited outside while Ji Won came into facehis dad. Ji 
Won came in, uninterested in what his dad had to say. “What is it dad?” 
“Ji Won, son...this is getting to be very tiring. Every few weeks you 
would run away, leaving me and your mother worrying about you.” Ji Won 
smirked. “Sure you're worried. That's why you're out with those hoes 
and mom's out with those morons. It's because I'm your only son. You're 
just scared that when grandpa passes away he won't put our family on 
the will.” His father got angry. “Well do you want it to end up on your 
uncle's side?” Ji Won gave his dad a look that showed he didn't care. 
His dad continued talking. “Since I managed to have a son and my 
brother have no kids, I have the advantage. Son, listen to me. You know 
you're my heir. All my wealth will be pass down to you.” Ji Won looked 
at his dad disgusted. “All you care about is money! You don't care 
about me!” he yelled as he stormed out of the den. Ji Won slammed the 
door open and grabbed my hand. “Come on, let's go.” 

********** Part 12 ********** I was confused and didn't know what had
happened. Ji Won held my hand and took me to the beach near his house. 
On the sand there were these 2 huge rocks. Ji Won led me over there. He 
lifted me up and we sat side by side. We remained silent until Ji Won 
took a deep breath of the ocean air. “I love this place, don't you?” he 
said to me smiling. I returned his smile and held onto his hand 
tighter. “Ji Won, what's wrong?” Ji Won avoided my eyes. “Nothing.” I 
turned his chin to face me. “Come on, you know you can tell me.” He 
nodded. “It's my dad and this stupid feud he has with my uncle. They're 
fighting over who will get the larger part in my grandpa's will.” 
“Oh...” I said softly. “Isn't it stupid?” he asked laughing. “My 
grandpa's not even dead yet!” I understood what was bothering him. So I 
didn't say anything because I know he doesn't want me to worry about 
it. He threw a rock into the ocean and it skipped three times. 
“Perfect” he said. “Why is it perfect?” I asked. “Age ain't nothing but 
a number right?” he asked me, changing the subject. I thought about it 
for a while and nodded. “Since I'm older than you by two years, that 
makes me your oppa,” Ji Won said to me. “Yup,” I answered, smiling. Ji 
Won smiled back. “I love you....” I felt my heart my heart filled with 
a bubble of love but then Ji Won continued talking..”as a dongsang.” My 
bubble bursted. This was not what I had expected him to say. I stared 
at Ji Won with wide eyes. I knew it was pretty forward of me but I had 
to ask. “Y...your....donsang?” I managed to stutter out. Ji Won looked 
back at me with his puppyish eyes and smiled. He nodded his head 
gently. Have I been reading all his signs wrong? “So what do you say?” 
he asked. “Want to be my dongsang?” Even though it was breaking my 
heart, I had no choice but to agree. I nodded. “Yes, I want to be your 
dongsang oppa.” “Good,” he said. Ji Won nodded and reached into his 
pocket. He pulled out a small silver knife. I stared at him with wide 
eyes. “Ji Won, what are you going to do with that knife?” He asked, “Do 
you trust me Mina?” I nodded my head without hesitation. I trusted Ji 
Won with my whole heart. He smiled at me. “Good. Lower the back of your 
shirt.” Ji Won pulled the back of my shirt down. Then he used that 
knife to cut me. “Ow!” I screamed in pain but he continued anyways. He 
carved a small ‘E' onto my shoulder blade. My back was bleeding and he 
bandaged it for me. Then he handed the knife to me. “Here. Engrave your 
initial ‘M' too cuz I don't want to use the same last name as your 
mom.” My hand trembled as I held the knife. I didn't want to hurt Ji 
Won. “Go ahead. Don't worry, I can stand the pain.” I engraved an ‘M' 
onto Ji Won's back. I was surprised because he didn't let a tear drop 
or cry out in pain. I bandaged him and he acted as if nothing had 
happen. When it was over, he held me close. I held onto Ji Won tightly 
as if he was going to leave me. I know he only thinks of me as his 
little dongsang but it feels nice holding him like this. As Ji Won held 
onto Mina, his smiling face instantly turned sad. He wanted to say 
‘Mina, I love you as a girlfriend' so she would be his forever but he 
couldn't. He wasn't the type to admit his feelings. So he figured the 
scarring was not an engravement of his brotherly love to Mina, but his 
promised symbol as a soulmate to her forever... 

********** Part 13 ********** Years had pass and I'm still with Ji Won.
I didn't think it was possible but I grew more and more in love with Ji 
Won everyday. We would do a lot of stuff together and we never had any 
fights. We argue, but it never came to the point where we would get 
really mad at each other and he usually let me have it my way. Kang 
Sung Hoon was Ji Won's other friend and he hangs out with us a lot too. 
Sung Hoon is a little older than me and is really nice. He has this 
really cute smile that when he smiles, you can't help but smile back. I 
called him ‘bang geul ee.' His family life also isn't good. His dad is 
a drunk and his mom had passed away when he was young. So usually it 
was the three of us together. My home life is a lot better thanks to Ji 
Won. My stepmom didn't dare to touch me anymore and it's still the same 
between me and my dad. We don't talk much. Ji Won's parents like me a 
lot too. It's because when they tell Ji Won to do something and he 
wouldn't do it. They would come to me. I'm kind of like their pawn. 
Life was heaven for me until it completely shattered on day. It started 
out with good news but who would have known it would end up in tragedy? 
June 15, 1996 My stepmom and dad came home one day from visiting the 
Euns. “Guess what?” my step mom told me excitedly. “What?” I asked 
calmly. “The Euns are planning a wedding for you and Ji Won!” I sat 
down because my knees gave out. This news hit me with total surprise 
but I was so happy to hear it because I'm so in love with Ji Won. 
“Really?” I asked excitedly? “How did this happened?” “Mr. Eun wanted 
Ji Won to get married and he figured you're the girl he should marry.” 
“What did Ji Won say?” I had to ask. I didn't want him to be forced 
into this. “Of course he agreed,” she answered. My breathing increased 
so I took out my respirator. After I calmed down, my stepmom took me 
into her room and told me all about the arrangements. Meanwhile back at 
the Eun mansion... “Just because you're making this wedding for me and 
Mina doesn't mean I owe you anything!” Ji Won yelled angrily at his 
dad. Mr. Eun grabbed Ji Won by the collar of his shirt. “Ji Won! You 
listen to me. Once you and Mina get married, your grandpa will give you 
all of his businesses. Sharing part of it with your dad isn't asking 
for much is it?” Ji Won pushed his dad away. He began to laugh. “The 
only two people grandpa will give the businesses to is me or uncle. He 
won't give it to you because you'll spend it all on those *bleep*s! I 
bet all your money is gone now.” It was true. Mr. Eun was in serious 
debt and he needed Ji Won to get married because Ji Won's grandpa was 
going to give Ji Won his inheritance once he gets married. Ji Won had 
just turned 18 and his dad had planned the marriage months ahead. His 
dad got on his knees. “Please son. Please do it for me.” Ji Won rolled 
his eyes. “You're so pathetic dad.” He sighed. Living with Mina taught 
him compassion and sympathy for people. “I'll see what I can do dad.” 
He went into his room. Just then his cellular phone rang. He picked it 
up, thinkingit wasMina. Using his sexy voice, he whispered, “Hi Mina.” 
A weird high-pitched giggle came from the other end of the line. 
“Ooh...”said the voice. “Hi to you too sexy.” Ji Won rolled his eyes. 
“Oh shut up Sung Hoon.” Using his real voice, Sung Hoon began to laugh 
out loud. “Gross hyung! That's how you talk to Mina? Ew! It gives me 
the chills!” “Hey Sung Hoon,” said Ji Won seriously. “Is everything set 
and ready to go?” “Yeah hyung,” said Sung Hoon. “Good,” said Ji Won, 
smiling. “Meet me at the docks tonight. From there we can sail to the 
mainland airport and get away from Hawaii to start a new life in 
Korea.” “Yeah,” said Sung Hoon. “But did you tell Mina about it?” “No,” 
answered Ji Won, sighing. “I'm afraid she won't leave her family. I'm 
planning to just kidnap her and take her along. It's easier that way 
and no hassle.” “Right,” said Sung Hoon. “At least the three of us will 
still be together.” “Yeah,” said Ji Won. “Meet you in an hour. Get 
everything ready. I got our money too.” “Okay,” replied Sung Hoon. 
“Bye.” Ji Won clicked off his phone. Ji Won's dad didn't know it but 
his grandpa had given him $10 million in advance, along with hotel 
ownerships in Korea and Hawaii as his wedding gift. He planned to leave 
his dad $5 million and live off the rest with Mina and Sung Hoon. He 
smiled thinking about how he would get away from everything and just be 
with the one he loved the most, Mina. 

********** Part 14 ********** Back at home I was so excited I couldn't
sleep. I know I was still young to be thinking about marriage but I 
know Ji Won is the only guy for me. I held my teddy bear close as 
thoughts of Ji Won drifted me to sleep. It was midnight now. Ji Won 
snuck out of his house quietly without making a noise. He carried his 
backpack full of money on his back. He planned to go to Mina's house to 
grab her and leave. Then it  would be just him, Mina, and Sung Hoon 
leaving together. He was almost to Mina's house when he realized that 
he was being followed. It was his uncle's men. They came to get rid of 
him. Ji Won was smart. He knew the streets too well. He made it through 
the alley and those men end up losing him. But when Ji Won reached 
Mina's house, about 10 men had surrounded her house. They all saw him 
approaching. Ji Won began to ran as they chased him. He made it to the 
dock. He saw Sung Hoon on the boat. “Hyung! Hurry! The boat is 
leaving!” Ji Won threw his bag onto the boat first and made a high 
jump. He landed safely onto the boat. His uncle's men couldn't chase 
him anymore. Ji Won and Sung Hoon started cheering until Ji Won 
realized what was missing. Mina. He had left her. Ji Won fell to his 
knees. “What's wrong?” asked Sung Hoon. “Mina! We left her! We have to 
go back!” yelled Ji Won. Sung Hoon opened his mouth in shock because he 
just realized it too. Then he shook his head sadly. “We can't. If we go 
back, we'll just get killed and we'll be putting Mina's life in danger 
too.” Ji Won moved away from Sung Hoon, knowing that the darkness will 
cover his face. And for the first time in his life, Ji Won cried. 

********** Part 15 ********** I woke up the next morning with this
strange feeling inside me. I don't know why but I find it disturbing. 
Then I remembered that Ji Won and I are going to get married soon, it 
subsided. When I went downstairs, my stepmom was holding that wooden 
stick I haven't seen in years. I began to panic. She whacked me with 
it. I fell down surprised. “Where's Ji Won?” she screamed at me. I was 
so confused and surprised I didn't know what she was talking about. She 
kept hitting me and telling me to answer her. But how can I answer when 
I don't even know myself? Then something unusual happened. My dad 
grabbed the stick away from my stepmom. 

“Stop hitting her! Can't you tell that she can't think straight through
all that pain?” My stepmom was shocked and she kept her mouth shut 
because my dad never did that to her before. “Mina,” my dad said to me, 
holding my hand. “Ji Won ran away from home again. He's no longer in 
Hawaii and the wedding's canceled.” “He left?” I asked blankly. My dad 
nodded his head sadly. “How can he leave me?” I asked standing up. My 
stepmom's next words hit me hard and cold like ice. “He probably left 
because he didn't want to marry you.” I sunk to my knees and fell to 
the floor. I began to sob to myself. My parents left the room, leaving 
me alone. ‘How can you leave me, Ji Won? Were all those promises of 
taking care of me lies?' I loved Ji Won so much. All I ever wanted is 
to be with him, even if he did only consider me as a dongsang. I needed 
to know why he left. Being with him all this time, I knew where he 
went. I'll search all of Korea if I had to... One year later... During 
this year, my life of hell had return. I managed to save up enough 
money for a ticket to Korea and money to spend. I had to work odd hours 
so my stepmom wouldn't find out or she'll take the money from me. I 
also had to sell some of Ji Won's gifts to me. He was a really generous 
oppa who would buy me a lot of expensive clothes, jewelry, perfume, and 
just about anything that I wanted. I figured he wouldn't mind because 
they're just material possessions. They were a big help because I 
managed to trade them in for a lot of money. July 24, 1997 I finally 
had enough money to leave. It took me a while to go because I knew 
chances are low of finding Ji Won right away. I needed extra money for 
my search and I had to pay double for a fake I.D. You could say that I 
have almost everything planned out. I got a pretty good amount so I 
planned on leaving today. It's been a little over a year since Ji Won 
left me with no reason or explanation. I've gotten so much thinner 
because I couldn't eat or sleep and I miss him so much. The problem I 
still had facing me were my parents. I know they were not going to let 
me leave. I was only 17. Damn. Still a minor. This year had been total 
hell for me and I can't stand another year of it. I had to leave and I 
had a plan. I was going to fake my death. It was all so perfect. My 
family had to go out to a luau with Mr. Eun. He still keeps in touch 
with us. I guess it's because he thinks I might know where Ji Won is. 
Truth is, I have no idea except I know Ji Won's somewhere in Korea. I 
planned to fake a drowning. Because of my heart failure, it helped me 
close off my air circulation for up to 4 minutes. This time I am using 
it to let my family think that I have drowned and the tides drifted my 
body to sea so I will never be found... But before I go I had to say 
goodbye to my father. I hugged him hard. He looked at me surprised. 
“What was that for?” he asked. I shook my head. “It wasn't for anything 
dad. I did it because I love you.” My dad had tears in his eyes. “I'm 
so sorry Mina. I'm so worthless as your father.” “No you're not but you 
have to do what's right dad. Don't let anyone stop you and stop putting 
yourself down.” He nodded his head. I hugged him for the last time. 
“I'm going for a swim okay?” He nodded his head and watched me head 
toward the ocean. The plan went perfect. I stayed underwater for a 
while and swam myself to the other side of the beach where they 
couldn't see me. All my belongings were there. I got on the dock and 
sailed to the mainland airport leaving Hawaii forever... 

********** Part 16 ********** [Seoul, Korea] July 26, 1997 Ji Won traced
the ‘M'scar on his back. ‘Damn,' he thought. ‘I miss Mina so much.' He 
sent out one of his men to retrieve news about her and if they could, 
get her here to him in Korea. Ji Won had it all. Money and power. The 
only thing that was missing was Mina. So much had happened to Ji Won as 
he remembered back. Ji Won and Sung Hoon made it to Seoul, Korea. With 
Ji Won's leadership skills and Sung Hoon's smooth talking, they end up 
getting a lot of businesses and putting others of out business. Money 
was not enough for Ji Won. He needed power so he created Sechs Kies, 
where he was the leader and Sung Hoon was his 2nd-in command. He and 
Sung Hoon managed to eliminate the group Quiksilver on their own and 
gained the respect and loyalty of the two members Kim Jae Duc and Lee 
Jae Jin. Along the way, they found Ko Ji Yong and Jang Su Won wandering 
the streets. Ji Yong proved to be a genius and Su Won was handy in 
finding information. Ji Won knew they were enough. They had hundreds of 
men under them but Sechskies were the main leaders with Ji Won as the 
head. They committed a lot of crimes but no evidence was ever found to 
convict them. Just then there was a knock on his door, interrupting his 
thoughts. “Come in,” said Ji Won. Jang Su Won came in. “I have news for 
you, boss,” he said. “Well what is it? What did you find out about 
Mina?” Ji Won asked. Sun Won looked down and hesitated to reply. “I'm 
afraid it's bad news.” Those words made Ji Won panic. “Jang Su Won, you 
answer me now!” yelled Ji Won with rage. Ji Won's yell scared Su Won so 
he blurted it out. “Mina Nam is dead. She drowned while she was 
swimming in the ocean. Her body has not been found and is still 
missing.” Ji Won fell back in his seat in shock. ‘Mina's dead? No, 
anyone but Mina,' he thought. Su Won knew it was a good time to leave 
so he left Ji Won in his office. “Mina!” Ji Won screamed out of his 
window in pain. His cries echoedthroughout the city of Seoul. 

********** Part 17 ********** I finally made it to Chejudo, Korea. I
didn't know where to look for Ji Won so anywhere was fine. I was never 
a lucky person. I couldn't find any signs of Ji Won there so I traveled 
to Inchun City. My search for Ji Won continued for another year. During 
that time I had traveled to many cities like Guam, Pusan, etc. It must 
have been a gift from God because one day my search was over... 
November 21, 1998 I had just finish my overtime shift at the Nam Hotel. 
It was pretty ironic because my whole family spent their lives working 
for hotels and here is the biggest one in all of Seoul with our family 
name. I went into the worker's lounge to take a break and pour myself 
some tea. I sat down and read the headlines. ‘Sechskies are to open a 
conference broadcasting live on Channel 6 today' I rolled my eyes. Not 
them again. They were the notorious mafia lead by Matthew Eun. I 
shuddered. I can't believe the leader has the same last name as my 
beloved Ji Won. Actually 6kies was composed of 6 leaders. They 
committed a lot of crimes and were always challenging the authorities. 
They had a lot of power and no one could take their pictures without 
their consent but a lot of people know what they look like. I didn't 
care. I was too busy looking for Ji Won to notice them. A worker with 
me named So Kyung Hee came in. “Hey,” she said, patting me lightly on 
the knee. “On break?” I took a sip and nodded. “Me too,” she said 
smiling. I smiled back at her. Kyung Hee was actually one of the nicest 
people at the hotel. Most of them were cold and just worried about how 
much tips they can get. Kyung Hee picked up the TV remote and turned to 
Channel 6. “Hey Mina, there's supposed to be showing 6kies today. 
Wonder what they look like.” I nodded and watched with her. When the 
clock struck 9, I felt my heart had stopped and it was not from my 
heart failure either. I stared at the face that was giving a *bleep*y 
smile to the camera. Ji Won. Slowly the camera pulled out revealing the 
other 5 members. I recognized Sung Hoon. He and Ji Won looked 
completely different but I still recognized them. Ji Won had his hair 
dyed completely blonde while Sung Hoon's was streaked. Kyung Hee and I 
watched them in silence as they began to talk. Ji Won and the others 
introduced themselves. Then the camera showed directly at Ji Won. To 
most people he would look like an evil gang leader but in my eyes he 
was a beautiful angel. If it was ever possible, Ji Won was even finer 
than before. “Mina, are you okay?” asked Kyung Hee, as she waved a hand 
in front of my face. “Huh?” I asked looking at her. “Oh, I'm fine. Just 
listening to what they have to say.” I pointed to Ji Won on the screen. 
“Who is he?” “That's Matthew Eun,” she answered me. I stared at Ji Won 
some more. He had change his name and so did Sung Hoon. No wonder I 
couldn't find them. Kyung Hee caught me staring so she smiled at me. 
“The leader is cute huh?” I blushed. “Yeah.” “Too bad in real life he's 
such a jerk.” “He is not!” I yelled at her. Kyung Hee scooted her seat 
back in shock. I apologized right away. “Sorry Kyung Hee, I didn't mean 
to yell at you.” She had a confused look on her face but she said, “Uh, 
it's okay Mina.” I pulled a finger to my lips. “Shh...let's listen to 
what they have to say...” Ji Won began talking. “This is Sechkies 
speaking to all you losers out there watching us. We just want to say 
that we're open to hire new ‘employees'. We usually travel around to 
our many hotels but you'll find us if you have the right connections. 
Also a word to the police of Korea. Why are you picking on us?, “ Ji 
Won asked sarcastically. “We're good, law-abiding citizens.” Ji Won 
folded his hands together and gave a little bow. Then all of the 
Sechskies leaders started laughing. “Oh my gosh! Look at him!” yelled 
Kyung Hee and pointed to Sung Hoon on the T.V. screen. “Look at that 
stupid smile and that perverted laugh. Kekeke...” Kyung Hee made a poor 
impression of Sung Hoon's laugh and it made me laugh. Geez, I thought. 
Sung Hoon would kill her if he knew she made fun of his trademark 
smile. The show ended a little too soon for me but Ji Won did say he 
was visiting many hotels and mine is the biggest one. He has to come 
here. I went back to work and waited for him to come. 

********** Part 18 ********** Ji Won entered the main doors of the Nam
Hotel and headed towards the lobby. He let out a sigh. Being in a hotel 
brought back to him a lot of memories. He remembered how he would take 
Mina to the hotels to trash it or slide down the long stairway 
banisters. But those carefree days are over. His only love had died and 
he no longer has the heart to love anyone else. Eversince the news of 
Mina's death, Ji Won began to develop a passion for anything he thinks 
is related to her. Things like her hairbrush, the same type of lipgloss 
she uses, her little respirator, etc. There are times when he had to 
give her mouth to mouth if the respirator wasn't around. Ji Won smiled 
remembering that she had told him that he was her first kiss. Mina 
never went out with any guys so it made him really happy but he also 
found it very strange. He didn't want to give her any ideas about 
dating other guys so he never asked. Ji Won had changed his name to 
Matthew. It's to symbolize that Ji Won died with Mina and Matthew 
replaced him. He chose the name Matthew because of Mina's initial ‘M' 
and if anyone asks, the ‘M' stands for Matthew. Sung Hoon wanted to 
changed his name to Ricky but Ji Won wouldn't let him. Ji Won only 
allowed him to change it if it had the letter ‘M' so Sung Hoon ended up 
changing it to Mickey instead. “Hey hyung! Over here!” shouted Sung 
Hoon. JiWon looked over at his five friends. He walked over to them and 
was surprised at what he saw. “What the hell is this?” he asked 
angrily. Every single one of them had a girl in each arm. “What do you 
guys think you're doing?” he asked as he strode over to them. “Come on 
hyung,” said Jae Duc. “Lighten up.” “Yeah,” said Jae Jin. “We worked 
hard all day and now let's have a little fun.” Ji Won rolled his eyes 
and then he saw two girls wrap their arms around him. He smiled. “Yeah, 
I guess.” “Alright!” they all shouted. They like it when Ji Won is in a 
good mood. From where I was standing, I felt as though someone had 
stabbed me with a knife. Ji Won looked so happy with those 2 girls 
sitting on both sides of his lap. I stared at my reflection in the 
hotel mirror. Big, glassy eyes, pale skin, and waist-length black hair. 
I looked kind of like a ghost. Not much to look at, I thought sighing 
sadly. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and I slowly turned around 

********** Part 19 ********** “What are you looking at?” asked Kyung
Hee. Whew. I let out a sigh of relief. “They're here,” I whispered to 
her. “Who?” she asked, looking over my shoulder. “SechsKies.” “Oh. So 
you want to go serve them?” I shook my head ‘no' quickly. Kyung Hee 
laughed. “Okay. Don't get so worked up, Mina. I'll do it.” She took a 
waitress pad and headed over to their table. I remained in the corner 
watching them. “Hi, my name is Kyung Hee and I'll be your waitress 
today. May I take your order?” ‘I'm losing it,' thought Ji Won. “We'll 
meet in the main dining room tomorrow,” Ji Won told Min Sung. He nodded 
his head and left. Ji Won walked out to the balcony and looked up at 
the sky. “I love you Mina, that's why it hurts so much that you're not 
here.” But the real Mina had left before she could have heard those 
words. 

********** Part 20 ********** 

Ji Won stared at the girl who was talking to Kyung Hee. ‘She looks like
Mina,' he thought. ‘But can't be.' “Hyung,” said Sung Hoon. “What are 
you looking at?” “Her,” said Ji Won, pointing in Kyung Hee's and Mina's 
direction. “You like my waitress too?” asked Sung Hoon, pouting. “No,” 
said Ji Won, shaking his head. “Her friend. Doesn't she look like 
Mina?” Sung Hoon glanced at the person Ji Won was pointing to and 
watched her walk away. “No...” said Sung Hoon slowly. “That girl's hair 
is much longer and Mina has a nicer body. That chick looks like a 
stick.” Ji Won *bleep*ed an eyebrow at Sung Hoon. “How do you know Mina 
have a nice body?” Sung Hoon's eyes widened. “I dunno... just guessing. 
Ji Yong's calling me. I'll go see what he wants,” Sung Hoon said 
quickly and ran over to Ji Yong right away. Ji Won began to chase the 
girlwho just left. I heard some footsteps following behind me. I 
quickly turned a corner and entered my room. Ji Won ran after her as 
fast as he could. He saw the girl turn a corner and he continued 
chasing her. He saw a figure up ahead and he grabbed her by the 
shoulder. When the girl turned around, she had a surprised expression 
on her face. “What do you want?” Ji Won looked at the strange girl. She 
looked nothing like Mina. “Wrong person.” The girl walked way. Ji Won 
sighed. ‘Maybe it's cause I miss Mina so much that I'm beginning to see 
her.' He began to walk back to the lobby, disappointedly. From my hotel 
room, I was watching Ji Won with the little hole in the door. I saw him 
pat a girl and then walk away with him head bowed down. I went over and 
sat down on my bed. I let out a sigh. Ji Won doesn't miss me. He has 
too many girls with him already. He probably forgot who I am by now. 
Tears fell down my face and I didn't even realize it. I quickly wiped 
them away. I wanted to tell myself that I hate Ji Won but I couldn't 
because then I'd just be lying. There was only one thing left for me to 
do. I stood in front of my bathroom mirror. I can't be with Ji Won as 
Mina, but I wanted to be by his side to watch over him. I thought about 
it for a while and remembered they were recruiting new members for 
Black Kies. I looked at myself. Hmm...if my hair is short and put into 
a cap, I wear sunglasses more, darken my skin with make-up, and lower 
my voice...I can pass for a guy. So I did it. Within an hour, I had 
transformed myself into a guy. I checked myself over. As a guy, I 
didn't look too bad. I smoothed out my new short hair and tucked it 
into a cap. Guys wear earrings too so I didn't have to worry about my 
earring holes. I wore a couple of T-shirts under my flannel and 2 pairs 
of boxers under my baggy jeans so I would fill out more and wouldn't 
look so scrawny. I checked my make-up, making sure I was well-covered. 
I put my sunglasses on. Perfect, I thought. Now all I have to do is 
have to pass the test to join the gang. 

********** Part 21 ********** 

Ji Won walked down the aisle looking at the 5 new candidates. He nod his
head as he studied them. “Pretty good,” he said to them. “Alright,” he 
clapped his hands for attention. “All of you know how it's done. Jae 
Jin and Jae Duc will jump each of you in. If you're still standing 
after 5 minutes, then welcome to SechsKies.” Only 2 of the 5 guys 
lasted when Jae Jin and Jae Duc were done beating them up. “Okay,” said 
Sung Hoon. The two newest members to join is-“ “Wait!” shouted a voice, 
interrupting Sung Hoon. Everyone looked over to see who it was. Ji Won 
stared at the young boy who was walking towards them. ‘What the hell? 
Damn! This kid looks like Mina!' he thought. ‘I must be losing it. How 
come I keep seeing her today?' Sung Hoon looked at the new boy 
curiously. “Yes? What do you want little man?” I looked at Sung Hoon. 
Gosh he developed an attitude, I thought. I took a deep breath. This is 
it. “I want to join SechsKies.” A guy I recognized as Jang Su Won 
busted out laughing. He placed his hand on top of my head. “You? How 
old are you boy? 15? !6? And how tall are you now? 5'?” I moved his 
hand for him. “No. I'm 18 and I'm not 5', I'm 5'3.” That made all the 
other members laugh, except Ji Won. I looked at him curiously and 
realized he was checking me out. Oh no, I thought. Please don't 
recognize me. Ji Won held up his hand for the others to stop laughing. 
“Hey, if he wants a chance, then we'll give it to him.” Then he turned 
to face me. I felt my heart thumping loud and prayed he couldn't hear 
it. He placed his hand on my shoulder. Dang, he smells good, I thought 
as I tried to suppress a smile. “Look kid,” said Ji Won to me. “You 
have to be jumped in to join. These 2 guys (pointing to Jae Jin and Jae 
Duc) will kick the crap out ofyou for 5 minutes. If you'restill 
standing, you're in.” I nodded my head. I knew I had to last because 
I'm doing it all for Ji Won. I stood there as Jae Duc and Jae Jin began 
to hit me. Jae Jin threw the first punch and it gave me instant pain. 
He's even stronger than my stepmom, I thought. Jae Duc kicked me and I 
was knocked to the ground but I kept pulling myself up. Ji Won looked 
at the helpless boy who was struggling to stand up. He doesn't 
understand why but when he looks at the boy, images of Mina replaced 
him. Right now in his eyes, it looked like it was Mina being beaten up 
by Jae Jin and Jae Duc. He couldn't help it. “Stay down!” he yelled to 
the boy. Everyone stared at Ji Won. Both Jae Jin and Jae Duc stopped 
hitting the boy because they were surprised Ji Won was being nice out 
of nowhere. I heard Ji Won yelling for me to stay down. My ears 
listened but my legs wouldn't. I refused to stay down. No matter how 
many times they hit me or how hard, I managed to get up. Finally 5 
minutes was over and I was still standing. “Am I in?” I asked in a weak 
voice. I saw Ji Won staring at me with a surprised expression. “Yes, 
you're in.” he said patting my shoulder. I smiled and fainted into his 
arms. Ji Won held the boy, surprised. He realized the boy had fainted. 
Usually he would have let go if someone fainted on him, but this time 
he held on tight. The other 5 Kies members looked and the 2 new 
recruits looked at Ji Won with queeried eyes. “Uh, hyung,” said Sung 
Hoon, as he patted Ji Won on the shoulder. “What?” asked Ji Won, as he 
continued holding the boy. “What should we do about the new recruits?” 
“Give them instructions and show them to their rooms. We'll have a 
meeting tomorrow.” “Okay.” They all left but once in a while, they all 
would glance back looking at Ji Won, who was carrying the boy in the 
other direction. 

********** Part 22 ********** 

Slowly I began to regain my consciousness and I woke up. I looked around
and realized I was in the biggest room in the Nam Hotel. The 
Presidential Suite. “What am I doing in here?” I asked myself. Then 
suddenly the chair in front of me spun around. Ji Won was sitting in 
it. I stared at him with wide eyes. I started to panic because I was 
all alone with him in the room. Ji Won gave me a sideways glance. “You 
okay?” he asked. I nodded my head. Ji Won got up out of his seat and 
walked towards me. He sat down on the bed next to me and looked at me 
straight in the eyes. “So what's your name?” he asked. “Mi-“ I began 
but instantly cut myself off. ‘Stupid, I thought to myself. You almost 
said your real name!' I saw Ji Won's eyes grow wide. “What did you say 
your name was?” “Min-Sung,” I answered him quickly. “Oh,” he said and 
backed away from me. 

Ji Won stood up and walked towards the window, looking outside. He knew
the new recruit was a boy but somewhere inside him wished MS would say 
his name was Mina. He let out a sigh. “There's a meeting tomorrow. Be 
there okay?” I looked at Ji Won with his back facing me. It had only 
been 2 years but I felt as though I couldn't read what was going on in 
his mind anymore. I let out a sigh myself. “Ji Won, where do we meet 
later tomorrow?” The call of his real name made Ji Won suddenly look 
up. He ran over to where Min Sung was sitting and grabbed him by his 
shoulders. “How do you know my real Korean name? No one knows me by 
that. Everyone calls me Matthew.” 

Oh no, I thought. I had completely forgotten that Ji Won had change his
name to Matthew but I thought fast. “I didn't know your name as Ji Won. 
All I said was, ‘Gee, wanna go out later tomorrow?'” I felt Ji Won's 
grip on me loosen. He had bought the story. When he was looking, I let 
out a sigh of relief. I'm losing it,' thought Ji Won. “We'll meet in 
the main dining room tomorrow,” Ji Won told Min Sung. He nodded his 
head and left. Ji Won walked out to the balcony and looked up at the 
sky. “I love you Mina, that's why it hurts so much that you're not 
here.” But the real Mina had left before she could have heard those 
words. 

********** Part 23 ********** Meanwhile back in the hotel lobby... After
Sung Hoon and the others gave the new recruits instructions and about 
the meeting, they all went back to their rooms. “You think there's 
something wrong with Matthew hyung?” asked Jae Jin. “Yeah,” said Jae 
Duc. “Did you see the way he held the new guy?” They began to shudder. 
“No, it's nothing,” answered Sung Hoon. “You think maybe Matthew is 
gay?” asked Ji Yong. “You're the one who looks gay,” said Jae Duc, 
jokingly. “Shut up!” yelled Ji Yong as he punched Jae Duc lightly. The 
others began to laugh. Then Su Won said, “Could be though. I never saw 
him ‘be' with a girl before.” Sung Hoon lets out a sigh. “Okay, I'll 
tell you guys the real deal. But don't let this get back to Matthew 
okay?” They all nodded and leaned forward to hear the story. “It was 
like 5 years ago when Matthew hyung met this girl named Nam Mina....” 
“She a babe?” asked Jae Duc, interrupting. Sung Hoon gave him a look. 
“Yes, Duc-ee, she's a babe.” “Oh, okay,” said Jae Duc. “Continue.” 
“Anyways, Matthew knew her before he met me. It turns out that she was 
the first person who ever really cared about him and Matthew fell in 
love with her. But you know how hyung is. He could never tell anyone 
exactly what' s on his mind or how he feels. Instead of saying he wants 
Mina to be his girlfriend, he said he wants her to be his dongsang-“ 
“That's stupid!” yelled Jae Duc, interrupting Sung Hoon. “Why he say 
that for? She's a babe!” “Sh..!” yelled Jae Jin, Ji Yong, and Su Won at 
Jae Duc. Sung Hoon continued. “Well, Matthew ended up having this blood 
ceremony with her. They scarred each other's back with their initial. 
It looks like a blood tie but later on I found out it was his symbol of 
promised love-“ “Ow..that must have hurt,” said Jae Duc, as he hugged 
himself. Jae Jin smacked him on the head for interrupting again. “I 
think they knew each other for a year before they met me. At first I 
thought Mina was cute, but then by the way Matthew acts, I can tell she 
was off limits. See, Mina had this heart condition where air would 
suddenly be closed off and she couldn't breathe. The only way to get 
air in was by this respirator-“ “The one hyung always carry?” asked Jae 
Duc. “Yes Duc-ee,” said Sung Hoon, rolling his eyes. “Anyways, it was 
either that or mouth to mouth. Once when Matthew went collecting shells 
for Mina, I was walking along the shores with her. One of her attacks 
came on. I freaked out of course, but I knew what to do. I laid her 
down and I was about to give her CPR but then Matthew ran the speed of 
light and knocked me into the ocean and he gave her CPR.” The others 
started laughing. 

“Dang, ain't he a Romeo?” said Jae Duc, laughing. Sung Hoon smiled.
“It's cause he loves Mina and didn't want any other guy touching he. I 
mean, during school, if any guy talks about wanting to date her, 
Matthew made sure he didn't. Oh yeah, Matthew hyung hasn't always been 
Matthew. His real name is Ji Won. The ‘M' scar on his back stands for 
Mina, not Matthew.” The others opened their mouths in shock. They never 
knew Ji Won had been this much in love before. “How romantic,” 
whispered Jae Duc. “Shut up hyung,” said Ji Yong. “Quit interrupting!” 
“Okay, okay,” said Jae Duc, blocking himself from Jae Jin's hand. Sung 
Hoon began talking. “If there are no more interruptions, then I'll 
continue.” He paused for a second and then continued. “The day before 
Matthew and I made it to Korea, he and Mina were supposed to get 
married. Matthew didn't like his dad and there was this feud in their 
family on who gets the grandpa's inheritance. Matthew got it, of 
course, and he took it all and left Hawaii. He took me and he was 
planning on taking Mina too. When he went to her house though, his 
uncle's men were guarding the place and he couldn't take her. He ended 
up leaving Hawaii without saying goodbye to Mina.” All of them remained 
silent. Then Su Won spoke. “Last year hyung sent me out to get some 
news on Nam Mina. She had died drowning.” Sung Hoon nodded. “Yeah but 
Matthew and I think she committed suicide. He think it's because Mina 
can't handle living with her stepmom, who always abuse her. If you ask 
me, I think Mina committed suicide because Matthew left her without any 
reason. I think hyung thinks that too but he won't say it. I think he 
blames himself for her death and since then he hasn't been the same. He 
used to be nicer and not this touchy. Also that's why he's never been 
with another girl. I mean, we see him flirt with other girls but none 
of us actually see him ‘be' with another girl right?” The others nodded 
in agreement. Sung Hoon continued. “About this new boy today. I think 
Matthew is losing it. He probably thinks when he sees the boy he is 
see-“ Sung Hoon stopped talking as he looked up. He finished his 
sentence with a “-See you later!” and he ran off. 

********** Part 21 ********** The others looked up surprised. Jae Jin
smacked Jae Duc on his head. “What?” asked Jae Duc. “I didn't 
interrupt!” “It's not Duc-ee's fault,” said Ji Yong. “Look.” Ji Yong 
pointed to where Sung Hoon ran off too. “Aigo,” said Jae Jin. “It's 
that same waitress babe.” “See?” said Jae Duc. “It's cause of a girl, 
not me. You hit me by mistake.” “No, it's not a mistake. I still wanna 
smack your head cause it makes this cool hollow sound,” replied Jae Jin 
as he smacked Jae Duc on his head again. “So, wanna go out sometime?” 
Sung Hoon asked Kyung Hee, leaning near her. She rolled her eyes at 
him. She answered flatly, “No” and began to leave. Sung Hoon held onto 
her arm. “Come on babe. X-mas is next month and don't be a scrooge.” 
Then suddenly, Kyung Hee gave him a seductive smile. “I guess. How 
about we go out on November 31 then?” Sung Hoon gave her a sexy smile 
back. “It's a date then,” he answered, letting her go. The other 4 
walked up to him. “How'd it go Mickey?” asked Su Won. “Hey, hey, what 
can I say?” answered Sung Hoon *bleep*ily. “I'm the man!” Jae Jin gave 
him a high-five. “Alright!” yelled Jae Duc. “When you 2 going out?” 
“November 31,” answered Sung Hoon. “Uh, Mickey,” said Ji Yong. “Sup Ji 
Yong?” said Sung Hoon. “November doesn't have a 31st.”“What?” asked 
Sung Hoon surprised. He looked at the calendar. November ended on the 
30th. He looked around but Kyung Hee had already left. He started 
cursing while the others tried to hold back their laughter. November 
23, 1998 “This meeting of SechsKies is now in session,” announced Ji 
Won to the main members of the group, along with the new recruits. His 
voice got their attention and they quickly focused their attention on 
Ji Won. Ji Won looked to see if Min Sung was there. He was. Ji Won gave 
a little smile to him. He didn't know why but when he looks at Min Sung 
his mind would replace Min Sung's face with Mina's. “So any new 
business?” he asked the members. “Yes,” answered Jae Jin. “The Black 
Dragons have killed some of our members and took away some of our 
businesses.” “Damn it!” yelled Ji Won as he pounded his fist on the 
table. “We'll just have to see that this Black Dragon matter will be 
solved. Mickey you, Ji Yong, Su Won, and the 2 new recruits deal with 
the businesses. Jae Jin, Jae Duc, and Min Sung will come with me.” 
Everyone looked at Ji Won strangely.Sung Hoon began to speak. “Uh, 
hyung. You want to take Min Sung along?”Ji Won glared at him. “Yeah. 
Anyone here have any objections?” No one answered. “Meeting adjourned,” 
announced Ji Won and everyone went to work. 

********** Part 22 ********** I followed the Black Kies to a dark alley.
I was surprised Ji Won wanted to take me along, considering I was one 
of the weakest members. I thought I would get to work with the White 
Kies in businesses. “Hey kid,” said Jae Duc to me. “What is it?” He 
handed me a gun. “Use this to protect yourself.” My eyes widened as I 
held the cold metal. Please don't let me use it, I prayed silently. Ji 
Won walked over to Min Sung. “Okay, the coleaders of Black Dragons are 
meeting around here. You'll recognize them by the dragon tattoos on 
their arms. If you see them, just shoot them as they come out.” “But 
Matthew Hyung, I-“ but my words were cut off the sound of gunshots. POW 
“Get down!” yelled Ji Won as he covered me. Then he started firing. I 
covered my ears and watched Ji Won in disbelief. He had shot 4 people 
and killed 3. Ji Won stood up smiling. I couldn't believe it. I was in 
love with a cold-blooded killer. Jae Jin and Jae Duc killed some other 
members and JW told them to kill every single Black Dragon member. One 
Black Dragon member laid hurt on the ground. Ji Won pulled him up by 
the collar of his shirt and pointed a gun to his head. “Tell me who's 
your leader punk or else I'll blow your brains out.” The young boy was 
whimpering. I felt sorry for him. “Please don't kill me. My leader is 
Eun Tae Won.” “Who the hell is that?” asked Ji Won angrily. “What the 
hell does he have against me?” “He's the godson of Mr. Eun, who's one 
of the heirs of the Eun Hotel Empire and he came to get the inheritance 
back from you.” I listened to what the boy was saying. I never knew 
that Ji Won's uncle had a god son. From what I had heard, JiWon's uncle 
had passed away 2 months ago and he had a heir. The heir is the leader 
of Black Dragon, I figured out.“That bastard,” said Ji Won. “He's dead 
and he still has someone after me.” When Ji Won wasn't looking, the 
Black Dragon boy had pulled out a knife, ready to stab Ji Won. I didn't 
have time to think so I reacted instantly. I shot the boy. He fell back 
in pain but managed to get up and run away. Ji Won looked at me 
surprised. He gave me a smile. “Good job, Min Sung,” he said walking 
over to me and patted me on the back. I was appalled at what I had 
done. I couldn't answer him so I just handed him back the gun. Just 
then Jae Jin and Jae Duc came back to us. “Got them all hyung,” said 
Jae Jin smiling as he did fancy handwork with his gun. “Good,” said Ji 
Won. “Min Sung here just saved my life. I knew it was a good idea to 
bring him along.” “Really?” asked Jae Duc. “Nice work kid.” Then he 
punched me lightly on the shoulder. When we made it back to the hotel, 
I ran into my room using my respirator and swallowed a pill. 
Afterwards, I took a shower. I felt so dirty because what I had done. I 
knew this was going to be only one of the many dirty work I would have 
to do to stay with Ji Won. 

********** Part 23 ********** A few months later... During this time,
since I saved Ji Won's life, he began to trust me more and confided in 
me with everything. I was like his new best friend. SechsKies continued 
traveling to many places and recruited new members. More war between 
SechsKies and Black Dragons broke out. Many businesses were shut down 
and more members were killed from both sides. All the blood shed and 
fighting was getting to me but I held on. All the members of SechsKies 
accepted me but sometimes I overhear them whisper that I'm gay. I 
didn't care as long as I had Ji Won. April 30, 1999 Finally, after many 
days of hard work, SechsKies finally got a day of rest. The leaders 
always hang out together but Ji Won always included me. We were at this 
fancy restaurant and were all having a good time. Jae Duc was telling 
us funny jokes. He stopped in the middle of a joke as he saw the Black 
Dragon leaders enter the restaurant. Tension was felt by everyone. The 
Black Dragons sat down across from us. Ji Won and Tae Won were giving 
each other glares. Underneath the tables, we pulled out our guns. I 
knew the Black Dragons were doing the same. We didn't know which side 
fired the first shot but before we knew it, bullets were flying 
everywhere. Ji Won covered me as we ran out of the restaurant safely. 
We met up with the other 5 Kies in a dark alley. The Black Dragons were 
still chasing us. “Damn it hyung! What should we do?” asked Jae Jin. 
“Kill them all!” shouted Ji Won. “There are too many,” Ji Yong shouted 
back. “Let's just hide out in this motel.” We all ran and hid in this 
cheap motel's restaurant. The Black Dragons lost us and continued 
searching. “I don't believe this!” said Ji Won furiously. “I, Matthew 
Eun, of SechsKies have to hide down here in this *bleep*roach motel 
like I'm a dog or something!” “Calm down,” I said to him gently, 
patting his back. “It's not so bad.” “Yeah hyung,” said Sung Hoon. 
“It's only for one night. Besides, we'll make them pay for this.” All 
of us looked around. There was only one bed. I could tell none of us 
wanted the floor because it was disgusting and reeked of something. “I 
ain't taking the floor!” all of us shouted in unison. “There's only one 
bed though,” said Su Won. “Look on the bright side,” said Jae Duc as he 
laid out the sheets on the bed. “At least it's king size.” I nodded my 
head. “It'll be tight but we'll all have to try and fit in.” Soon it 
was Jae Jin, Jae Duc, Ji Won, me, Sung Hoon, Ji Yong, and Su Won laying 
down side by side uncomfortably on the bed. We were laying down one by 
one and the others looked at me strangely as I ran to be the next 
person who laid near Ji Won. Soon everyone fell asleep except me. I 
made sure everyone was asleep before I made my move. I bent over to 
kiss Ji Won lightly on the lips. Then I laid my head down on his chest 
to hear his heart beat. I sighed contentedly. Then suddenly I felt Ji 
Won's leg twitch. Oh no. I knew what he was about to do. His 360. I 
placed my entire body on top of his because I didn't want to get 
kicked. As Ji Won did his 360, he kicked everyone except me off the 
bed. As always when Ji Won was done, he had a huge smile on his face. 
Then he held onto me tightly. I was overwhelmed with happiness. The 
others must have been exhausted because none of them woke up except Jae 
Duc. He opened his eyes sleepily and said, “Huh?” “You're dreaming,” I 
whispered to him. He nodded his head and went back to sleep. Soon I 
drifted off to sleep too. 

********** Part 24 ********** Next Morning... May 1, 1999 Ji Won began
to stir. He woke up finding Min Sung holding onto him tightly. Ji Won 
widened his eyes and gently unraveled Min Sung's arms and legs off of 
him. The guys already called Min Sung gay and he didn't want them to 
think he's gay too. He sat up and saw 5 of the SechsKies leaders laying 
on the floor. Then Sung Hoon began to wake up. He sat up and looked 
around. “Gross! How the hell did I end up down here?” Ji Won shrugged 
his shoulders. Then Jae Duc woke up. “Damn, my butt hurts. It feels 
like someone kicked it last night.” Then one by one everyone woke up. 
“P.U.!,” yelled Jae Jin. “This floor stinks!” Everyone started 
laughing. “Sorry you guys,” said Ji Won laughing. “I must have done a 
360 and kicked you all off.” “How come you didn't fall off Min Sung?” 
asked Ji Yong. Uh, oh, I thought. “I did,” I answered him. “But I got 
back up and went to sleep on the bed again.” “Really?” asked Su Won. “I 
didn't even know. I just went right on sleeping.” Ji Won began to study 
Min Sung. It was weird but somehow Ji Won had a feeling that Min Sung 
knew he does a 360 in his sleep. ‘But that's impossible,' he thought to 
himself. ‘Only Mina knows that and why didn't Min Sung say anything 
about me kicking him?' Ji Won didn't know what was going on with Min 
Sung but he knew he had to find out. We all got up and ready to leave 
the room. The coast seemed clear so we walked out unarmed. Big mistake. 
There was a n ambush waiting for us. “Disperse!” yelled Ji Won and we 
all ran our separate ways. Black Dragons chased after each one of us. I 
lost the Black Dragon member that was chasing me but I didn't want to 
go back the hotel room without Ji Won so I turned back to get him. When 
I found Ji Won, he was backed up against the wall by a Black Dragon. It 
was the leader, Tae Won. He was telling Ji Won to bow down and beg for 
mercy but Ji Won ended up spitting in his face. Tae Won got angry and 
pulled the knife back to stab Ji Won in his throat. I ran as fast as I 
could and knocked Tae Won down. He dropped the knife and fell to the 
floor with me. As he fell, he used the handled of the knife to knock Ji 
Won unconscious. Tae Won got up glaring at me. “Do you know who you're 
messing with?” he asked me angrily. I glared at him back unflinching. 
“I'll make you pay for hurting Ji Won.” v “Oh you must be the gay 
SechsKies member I've heard so much about,” said Tae Won laughing. 
“You're afraid your *bleep* leader would die leaving you alone?” That 
made me really angry. I didn't care that he called me gay but calling 
Ji Won a *bleep* ticked me off. Since he was distracted, I grabbed the 
hand he was holding the sword with, and made him stab himself. He cried 
out in shock and pain. He pulled knife out of him. Tae Won pushed me 
away and cuts me in the knee with his knife. I fell down and saw him 
raise theknife above my head. I was going to die. Then suddenly a voice 
screamed out, “Gang Rape!” It made Tae Won run off. I looked over to 
see who it was. It was Kyung Hee screaming for the cops. I saw her 
looking at me sighing and walked away. “Kyung Hee!” I screamed for her. 
Kyung Hee looked at me strangely as she approached me. “Do I know you?” 
I nodded my head and motioned for her to come near me. When she did, I 
whispered in her ear, “It's me, Mina.” “Mina? But you're a guy!” she 
yelled back at me. “Look at me closely.” When she did, her eyes widened 
as she grabbed a hold of me. “Mina, it is you!” I turned her back to 
face me. “Please help me bring Ji Won back to the hotel.” Kyung Hee 
made a face of disgust. “What are you doing with the SechsKies leader 
and why are you dressed like a guy?” “I'll explain later,” I told her. 
We both put Ji Won's arms around us as we carried him back. Along the 
way we found Sung Hoon unconscious on the ground, bleeding. I set Ji 
Won down gently and lifted Sung Hoon up. “Sung Hoon!” I said, shaking 
him. He was hurt badly. “Kyung Hee, please do me a favor. You carry 
Sung Hoon while I carry Ji Won.” Kyung Hee looked at me reluctantly but 
then nodded. I lifted Ji Won onto my back and carried him back to the 
Nam Hotel. My leg was still bleeding from the cut and I was limping. 
“Mina, can you carry him?” Kyung Hee asked me, concerned. “I'll be 
fine,” I answered her as we made it back. 

********** Part 25 ********** I took Ji Won back to his room while Kyung
Hee took Sung Hoon back to his. I washed Ji Won's cuts and nursed his 
wounds. When he was bandaged, I sat down on the chair next to his bed . 
Then suddenly, I couldn't breathe. One of my attacks is coming on and I 
didn't have my respirator with me. My heart was aching so painfully 
that I was gasping in pain. But then I remembered Ji Won had a 
respirator. I searched his pockets and sure enough, there it was. I 
started pumping it quickly and air entered my lungs. My vision cleared 
and I began to breathe easier. Then I put it back into his pocket. My 
touch made Ji Won stir. He began to wake up. He looked at me. “Min 
Sung?” he asked weakly. I nodded my head. “Yes, it's me hyung.” Ji Won 
lifted himself up. “Where am I?” “We're back at our hotel.” “Oh,” Ji 
Won said as he looked at my leg. “What happened to your knee?” I looked 
down at it. It was bleeding through my pants. “It's nothing hyung. I'll 
be okay in a few days.” “Did Tae Won do this to you?” I nodded my head. 
Ji Won pounded his fist on his desk. “Damn him! I'll get him back.” 
“It's okay hyung,” I said calming him down. “By the way,” he asked me 
suddenly, “how did you end up finding me? Weren't you supposed to come 
back here by yourself?” His question hit me by surprise. I answered him 
truthfully. “I came back to look for you because I was worried you 
might be in danger.” I saw Ji Won look at me awkwardly and inched 
himself away from me. He thinks I'm gay, I thought. “Uh, thanks for 
coming back to save me then,” Ji Won said to Min Sung awkwardly. Min 
Sung nodded and left his room. Ji Won lets out a sigh. He loved Min 
Sung as a friend and definitely nothing more. He didn't want Min Sung 
to have any thoughts. Instinctively Ji Won reached into his pocket to 
check to see if his respirator was still there. It was but it was 
different. Ji Won stared at it with wide eyes. His once filled 
respirator was now only half full with air. Someone had been using it. 

********** Part 26 ********** Later that evening Ji Won posted a note on
my door telling me to meet him. It was 8 p.m. and I knocked the door to 
his room. “Come in,” said Ji Won. I entered his room, not knowing what 
he was going to say. “Follow me,” he ordered. He left the room and I 
followed him. He took me to the beach that was near our hotel. Then he 
walked over to a spot where there were two rocks side by side. I caught 
my breath. This looks exactly like our spot in Hawaii, I thought. “Come 
here and sit next to me, Min Sung,” said Ji Won to me, patting the rock 
next to him. I sat down near him and closed my eyes as I breathed in 
the salty sea air. Ji Won began to study Min Sung. ‘He looks like Mina 
in a way,' he thought. ‘Could he be Mina in another form?' Ji Won 
didn't believe in reincarnation but Min Sung was too much like Mina for 
him. He wanted to see if somehow Min Sung was Mina so he had to test 
him. “Min Sung, you want to hear a story?” “Sure,” said Min Sung 
eagerly. Ji Won smiled as he told his story. “There once was this rich 
boy who came from a messed up family. He had no friends at all. Then 
one day he met this little girl who became his friend. She was really 
nice to him, unlike his family, so he began to adopt her as his 
dongsang.” Ji Won paused right there to see Min Sung's reaction. My 
smile faded when Ji Won began his story. He was talking about our life 
in Hawaii. Then I figured out he was testing me. The respirator, I 
thought. I must have drained it when I was using it so now he suspects 
me. I steadied myself and tried my best to give no reaction. Ji Won 
stared at Min Sung, who appeared to have no reaction to the story. 
“Well what do you think?” Ji Won asked him. “That's a cute story, 
hyung,” he said, shrugging his shoulders. Ji Won continued. “Do you 
know why he took extra care of his dongsang?” Min Sung shook his head 
no. “It's because she has this heart problem and needed this respirator 
to breathe.” He took out the respirator from his pocket and showed it 
to Min Sung. Again no reaction. “Poor girl,” said Min Sung. “Yes, poor 
girl,” said Ji Won sadly. “She died a few years later.” I looked at Ji 
Won sadly. I knew Ji Won felt bad because of my death but since I'm no 
one special to him, it wouldn't matter if he knew the truth that Mina 
was still alive and with him right now. Then Ji Won took out a stone 
and handed me one. I rubbed the white marble stone for a while. “Throw 
it,” he told me. I shook my head no. To me it was like a present so I 
didn't throw it but just kept it in my pocket. Ji Won threw his into 
the ocean. It skipped 3 times. “Perfect,” he said. “Why is it perfect?” 
I asked him. This time I wished he would tell me the significance of 
the 3-skip. “When the stone skips 3 times, it means 3 words. I love 
you.” I looked at Ji Won in an overwhelming joy. Did Ji Won love me? He 
had thrown the rock and it skipped 3 times many times before. “So did 
the rich boy ever really loved his dongsang?” I asked Ji Won. Ji Won 
looked at me. “Of course he does. He has a lot of brotherly love for 
her.” “Oh,” I whispered softly. My heart began to ache. As Ji Won 
continued staring at the ocean, I began to walk home with a heavy 
heart. Ji Won began to shake his head. ‘Mina's dead already so why am I 
denying that I love her?' he thought to himself as he stared out to the 
ocean. “Actually, Min Sung, the rich boy loved his dongsang the first 
day he met her but he's such a weak person. He never could admit his 
feelings for her and just waited for her to say that she loves him 
first.” Ji Won turned around and saw that Min Sung had left. ‘Oh well,' 
he thought as he headed back to the hotel. 

********** Part 27 ********** *Since some of you wanted to hear more
about Sung Hoon and Kyung Hee, this chapter is a little side story. 
Sung Hoon woke up aching. He realized he was back at the Nam Hotel and 
in his room. “How did I make it back here?” he asked himself. Then he 
realized he was wearing nothing but his boxers. His bathroom door 
suddenly opened and out came Kyung Hee. “Hey!” he shouted as he pulled 
a blanket over to cover himself. Kyung Hee rolled her eyes. “It's too 
late for that. I've seen it all already,” she told him as she yanked 
the blanket away. Sung Hoon crossed his arms over his chest. “So you 
took advantage of me in my weak state?” “So what if I did?” she snapped 
at him. “That means you have to marry me and support me while I give 
birth to your child.” Kyung Hee could't help but laugh. Sung Hoon 
smiled at her. ‘I guess he isn't so bad,' she thought. “You know,” said 
Sung Hoon quietly. “You didn't have to diss me like that when you said 
you'll go out with me.” Kyung Hee looked at him. “I had to! You were 
such an arrogant jerk and you wouldn't leave me alone.” “Maybe it's 
because I like you too much to leave you alone,” he replied back. Kyung 
Hee blushed a little and decided to change the subject. “Give me your 
arm,” she said to him. Sung Hoon's right arm was bleeding and Kyung Hee 
began to wash the cut. “Ow!” he yelled in pain, pulling his arm back. 
“That hurts.” “Does it?” Kyung Hee asked him, concerned. “I'm sorry.” 
She leaned over to blow on his cut. Sung Hoon stared at her the entire 
time. He felt warm and shy being around her. He never felt this way for 
a girl before. She was nice to him and not dissing him like she usually 
does. He really liked that feeling. Kyung Hee gently placed his arm 
into a cast. “There,” she said. “All better.” “You know,” said Sung 
Hoon softly. “Everyone says kisses make boo-boos feel better and go 
away.” When Kyung Hee was nursing Sung Hoon, she developed a liking for 
him and his nice body was a good addition. “Really?” she asked 
skeptically. “I don't believe you.” “Why don't you test it out then?” 
he challenged her smiling. “Maybe I will,” she said, flirting back. 
“Where does it hurt?” Sung Hoon pointed to his knee. Kyung Hee kissed 
it. Then he pointed to his hand. She kissed it too. Slowly he pointed 
to his forehead, which she also kissed. He worked his way down to his 
nose. Kyung Hee couldn't help but laugh as she kissed his nose lightly. 
Sung Hoon's nose was broken. Then he pointed to his lips. Kyung Hee was 
about to kiss it lightly but then Sung Hoon held onto her tightly to 
deepen the kiss. Kyung Hee felt drawn to him so she didn't push him 
away. He turned her over so she laid down on his bed, with him on top 
of her. His hand went under the back of her shirt and he stopped there. 
Kyung Hee continued kissing him and ran her fingers through his hair. 
Since she wasn't stopping him, he was about to continue when... *knock 
knock* ‘I'm going to kill that person,' thought Sung Hoon as he broke 
off the kiss. “Yeah? What is it?” he yelled. “Matthew wants all of us 
to go down to the dining room for a meeting,” said Ji Yong. “Okay, I'll 
be there in 5 minutes!” Sung Hoon yelled back. When he heard footsteps 
of Ji Yong leaving, he kissed Kyung Hee once more. “Sorry honey, I have 
to go but I'll be right back.” Kyung Hee nodded and helped him into his 
clothes. 

********** Part 28 ********** “Order SechsKies!” yelled Ji Won. “Ooh,
ooh,” said Jae Duc. “I want some kimbab!” Ji Won glared at him. Jae Duc 
shuts up. “Now I want to talk to all of you about Min Sung. He's only 
been here for a few months but he had saved my life twice and not to 
mention, Sung Hoon's.” Sung Hoon slapped Min Sung on the back and 
smiled . “Now,” continued Ji Won. “What do you want Min Sung? A car, 
money, women? Tell us and it's yours.” “Yeah,” said Sung Hoon. “Just 
name it buddy and it's yours.” I thought about it for a while. The only 
thing I wanted was Ji Won but I couldn't say that. Since he was 
suspecting me so much there was only one thing I should ask for. “I 
want a woman,” I told them. They all opened their mouths in shock. 
“Alright Min Sung, you dog!” yelled Sung Hoon, breaking the silence. 
“At least you're proving to us that you're a man now!” “Okay,” said Ji 
Won slowly. “Who's the girl?” “So Kyung Hee,” I announced. I saw Sung 
Hoon's smiling face turn mad. “Who do you want?” Sung Hoon asked me in 
disbelief. I repeated myself. “So Kyung Hee.” Sung Hoon grabbed me by 
the collar of my shirt. “Out of all the girls you could have picked, 
why her?” he yelled at me. I knew Sung Hoon liked Kyung Hee but Kyung 
Hee was the only person that could help me. “I happen to like her too,” 
I answered him. “Besides, you all said I can have anything I want, and 
I want Kyung Hee.” “He's right,” said Ji Won softly. “We can't go back 
on our words.” Ji Won clapped his hands for attention. “So Kyung Hee 
now belongs to Ahn Min Sung. Anyone from SechsKies who touches her, the 
penalty is death.” Su Won and Ji Yong had to hold Sung Hoon back from 
attacking me. “I thought you were my friend!” he yelled as they took 
him away. I sighed and headed for my room. Ji Won looked at Min Sung as 
he was walking away. “Min Sung.” “Yes hyung?” “Are you sure that's what 
you want?” “Yes hyung. I've never been more sure in my life.” Then Min 
Sung left. When I made it back into my room, Kyung Hee was in there 
waiting for me. “What the hell is going on?” she asked me. I knew it 
was time to tell her my story. When I finished, she was bawling like a 
baby. I handed her a tissue. “Th..that is s..so..romantic,” Kyung Hee 
said, sobbing. I patted her head as she leaned on me. “No, it's not.” 
“So you're not going to tell Ji Won who you really are?” I shook my 
head. “It wouldn't matter anyways.” “How do you know? If he knows 
you're still alive, who knows? He might fall in love with you.” 
“Maybe,” I began slowly. “But then he'd love me out of pity and not out 
of love. I don't want that.” “Oh.” Kyung Hee stared at the floor. “I 
wonder if Mickey really likes me.” “What?!” I asked in surprise. She 
looked at me sheepishly. “Oh, I forgot to tell you that Mickey and I 
are beginning to fall for each other.” “Why didn't you tell me?” “I 
didn't have a chance to. Besides, it just happened.” “I'm sorry Kyung 
Hee.” “It's okay,” she said as she hugged me. “We'll just have to put 
our little romance on hold for a while. You're more important.” “No, 
I'll go tell-“ My words were cut off by my lack of air. This time my 
attack was worser than it ever had been before. Kyung Hee stared at me 
frightened. “Mina! What's happening?” “C..can't breathe...” I managed 
to say. She lifted me up. “Come on, I'll take you to the hospital.” 
“Don't let the others see me,” I said to her before I collapsed into 
total darkness. 

********** Part 29 ********** Slowly I began to open my eyes. I closed
them instantly because the light reflecting me was so bright. Am I on 
the other side? I wondered. I managed to squint my eyes open. I found 
myself strapped to a pulse racer machine and an IV fluid was hooked up 
to me. I started to look around my room. I was in a hospital and I saw 
that my door was open slightly ajar. Then I heard 2 voices talking and 
I began to eavesdrop. “It's a miracle that she's still alive,” said the 
doctor. “Is she going to be okay?” Kyung Hee asked him. “Well, 
according to these test results, her heart will expire any time now. We 
need to get her a heart transplant soon because she's past overdue for 
2 years already. I made some calls and there is a matching donor for 
her in England.” “I'll have to talk to her about it.” “Please do,” said 
the doctor. “It's her only hope of living.” Kyung Hee slowly entered my 
room. She stared at me with wide eyes. “You heard everything Mina?” I 
nodded my head weakly and took the air respirator off my mouth. “You 
can tell him to forget about it. I'm not going to England for a couple 
of months to get surgery.” Kyung Hee ran over and shook me. “Mina, are 
you crazy? You have to or you'll die.” “No,” I told her stubbornly. “It 
was so hard for me to find Ji Won and I won't let go of him just like 
that.” Kyung Hee began to cry. “I don't want you to die though.” I 
looked at her sadly. “You're a good friend Kyung Hee. I know you'll be 
the perfect girl for Sung Hoon.” I yanked the IV tube off my arm. “Come 
on. Let's go home.” A little over a month later.... My heart condition 
began to grow worse. My attacks became more frequently and undetected. 
It would happen during odd times like when I'm showering or having 
dinner with the SechsKies guys. Luckily Kyung Hee was always there by 
my side to cover for me. Sung Hoon hated me. I can tell by the way he 
acts. He probably thinks that Kyung Hee really likes Ahn Min Sung 
(that's me). What he doesn't know is Kyung Hee truly does love him and 
it breaks her heart seeing him go out with other girls. I think he's 
doing that to make her jealous. As for Ji Won, he began to grow distant 
towards me. He wouldn't talk to me much and he's been depressed about 
something lately. I wish I could know what was bothering him because it 
hurts me to see him sad like that. Secrets are definitely hard to keep. 
Especially ones that you have to cover everyday. I should have known 
that my disguise and heart attacks would be exposed soon but it just 
came to me unexpectedly... 

********** Part 30 ********** June 15, 1999 Ji Won was in his depressed
state again. There was this empty void inside him that he couldn't 
erase. It was a recurring pain that never seemed to end. He felt 
lonely. Whenever he sees Min Sung and Kyung Hee together, it disturbs 
him. He could't figure out what it was but he kept finding something 
wrong with the picture. Then a knock came on his door. “Come in,” he 
said, without bothering to see who it was. I entered Ji Won's room 
holding a tray of food. Now these days since he was in his isolated 
stage, he didn't eat much anymore. I was beginning to worry. I didn't 
have much time left with him so I wanted to take care of him the best I 
could with the time I still had left. “Hyung? Are you hungry? I brought 
you some food.” Ji Won turned around to see who it was. It was Min 
Sung. “Just put it down.” Min Sung placed it down before Ji Won. 
Ramyun, mee-yuk-gook, rice, and curry. ‘How does he know I like these 
food?' Ji Won thought. “Take it away I don't want it.” “But hyung, you 
haven't ate for days. Please eat a little bit.” “I said take it away!” 
Ji Won yelled, his anger exploding. He knocked over the tray of food. 
It ended up spilling all over Min Sung. Ji Won and Min Sung stared at 
each other. Neither of them knew what to say. Min Sung leaned over to 
clean up the spilled food and then left. Ji Won fell back in his chair. 
He ran his hands through his hair frustrated. Min Sung was too much 
like Mina that it was driving him crazy. Ji Won knew he was out of line 
though, so he began to walk to Min Sung's room to apologize. What a 
mess, I thought as I stripped out of my clothes. I soaked myself into a 
hot water bath, hoping it could wash away all my troubles. When I was 
done with my bath, I wrapped myself up in a towel and got out of the 
tub. Then I heard my room door open and then close. Must be Kyung Hee, 
I thought as I began to put my clothes on. Ji Won entered Min Sung's 
room, not knowing what to say. He wasn't good at apologizing. He looked 
around and didn't see Min Sung anywhere. Then he heard the sound of 
water draining. He figured Min Sung must be in the bathroom. Ji Won 
opened the door slightly and saw Min Sung's bare back. He shuts the 
door quietly and began to leave. He planned to apologize later but then 
his mind began to sort out what he had just saw. Min Sung's back had an 
‘E' on it. Ji Won breaks the open the door to the bathroom. I was 
buttoning up my long sleeve shirt when my door suddenly opened. I 
stared at Ji Won in shock but then remembered I wasn't completely 
dressed yet. I buttoned up the remaining buttons and then faced him. 
“Hyung!” I said surprised. “What are you doing here?” I caught Ji Won 
looking down at my shirt. I had buttoned it all wrong and a great deal 
of my body was showing. Oh hell, I thought. “Hyung, I can explain-“ I 
began to tell him but I never had a chance to. Ji Won stared at Min 
Sung's exposed body. Without thinking, he ripped open Min Sung's shirt 
finding that Min Sung was indeed a woman. Min Sung stood still, stunned 
at what Ji Won had just did. He turned Min Sung's back to him. There it 
was. His ‘E.' “M...Mina?” he asked uncertainly, afraid to hope. I 
didn't know what I was more embarrassed from. Letting Ji Won see me 
exposed or being caught. In all my life I had never been angry at Ji 
Won but I didn't know why I reacted impulsively. As I held my shirt 
together, I slapped Ji Won across the face hard with my other hand. His 
head snapped to the side. He held his cheeks as he turned to face me. 
“How could you do this to me Ji Won?” I asked him screaming. “Get out! 
Get out!” I started to push him out the door. Ji Won was in shock. 
Mina, he thought. He grabbed her arms as she pushed him out. “Mina, 
don't! Is it really you?” I glared at him. As if he knew, Ji Won took 
off his jacket and puts it around my shoulders. I zipped it up, 
covering myself. “Yes Ji Won, it is me Mina.” “But I thought you were 
dead.” “I didn't die. I faked my death.” “Why?” “So I could go to 
Korea.” “You came all the way from Hawaii to find me? Why didn't you 
just tell me who you are?” Ji Won looked at Mina, who had tears coming 
out of her eyes. He was about to brush them off for her but then Mina 
pushed his hand away. “That's the only way I could do to be with you. 
Join SechsKies.” Ji Won stared at Mina as she continued talking. “After 
you left me all alone in Hawaii, my life became so miserable. Not 
because of my stepmom, but because of you. I finally found a way to 
leave Hawaii to find you. I was so happy when I thought about how I 
could see you again. I thought-“ Ji Won began to feel a rush of mixed 
emotions. Mina's words made him sad but seeing her alive in front of 
him, made him want to hold onto her and never let her go. He paused to 
let her continue. "-I thought that we could be together like we 
were....oppa and dongsang in Hawaii. But obviously, I was wrong. You 
had all those girls around you that you've completely forgotten about 
me.” Ji Won felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. Each one of 
Mina's words stabbed him like a knife. “Mina, you don't understand. I-“ 
Mina didn't wait for his explanation and ran. Ji Won chased after her. 
“Mina!” he yelled as he chased her out of the hotel. “Hyung,” said Su 
Won as he saw Ji Won ran by him. Ji Won pushed him out of the way. 
Kyung Hee ran up the 5 Kies. “What happened?” Su Won shrugged his 
shoulders. “I don't know. Ji Won was chasing Min Sung and kept 
screaming Mina.” Kyung Hee stumbled back and Sung Hoon caught her. ‘Oh 
no, poor Mina,' she thought. She turned around to see Sung Hoon looking 
at her sadly. Kyung Hee moved close to him and held onto him tight. 
Neither one of them lets go ********** Part 31 ********** June 16, 1999 
It was 3 a.m. and Ji Won had lost Mina. As he chased her down the 
streets he lost track of where she ran off to. “Mina!” he continued 
shouting. His cries echoed throughout the streets. A lot of people 
heard him yelling. So did the Black Dragons. Tae Won silently crept 
behind Ji Won. Ji Won was all alone. Tae Won gave an evil smile. He had 
a plan. He and his sidekick began to set up a trap for Ji Won, which 
they knew he would fall for. “Mina!” I covered my ears. I didn't want 
to hear Ji Won's voice. I was so confused. All I ever wanted was to be 
with Ji Won but now it's all complicated. I leaned back against the 
alley wall. I needed time to think. Ji Won ran through the alleys as he 
continued searching for Mina. Then he ran into Tae Won. Out of the 
darkness, Tae Won stepped out. “Looking for someone?” he asked. “Yeah,” 
said Ji Won, glaring at him. “I'm looking for Min Sung.” “The punk that 
stabbed me?” Tae Won asked furiously. “Yeah.” “I got him.” “You do?” Ji 
Won asked surprised. “Hand him over!” “There he is,” said Tae Won, 
pointing to a figure up ahead. From the back it did look like Min Sung 
but little did Ji Won know that it was all a setup. “Mina?” Ji Won 
whispered as he approached the person. It was a Black Dragon member. He 
grabbed a hold of Ji Won around the neck and began shooting Ji Won 
continually in the stomach. I looked out from where I was hiding when I 
heard gunshots. “Ji Won!” I screamed as I ran out from where I hid. My 
scream threw the Black Dragon member off guard. Seeing his chance, Ji 
Won grabbed the gun from him and shot him in the head. He fell to the 
floor dead. Tae Won started to run away but Ji Won aimed a shot 
directly at his heart. Tae Won fell down dead too. Ji Won looked at me 
and then collapsed to the cold ground. He wasn't able to hold on any 
longer. Rain began to pour. “Ji Won!” I screamed, shaking him. He was 
still breathing but barely. I lifted Ji Won up on my back and carried 
him to a nearby hospital. The rain drenched us and it grew hard for me 
to carry him because of the weight. However, I managed to make it. They 
rushed him into the emergency room. Four hours later the doctor came 
out. “How is he?” I asked as I ran up to him. “He was shot 4 times in 
the stomach region. As you know, a person needs at least one kidney to 
survive but both of his are destroyed. Unless we can find a donor, 
he'll have to die.” “Give him mine,” I told the doctor right away. “Are 
you sure?” I nodded my head. “Because of your heart condition, if we 
have this operation that means you can die instantly during the 
transfer.” I nodded my head again. “I understand. Please let's have the 
operation now.” They tested me and luckily I was compatible with Ji 
Won. Six hours later the surgery was completed. It's a miracle that I'm 
still alive. I knew not for long though. I woke up finding myself in a 
hospital bed with Ji Won on a bed next to me. He was still in a coma. I 
got out of bed and went near him. I stroked his hair gently as I bent 
down to kiss him. “I love you Ji Won,” I whispered to him. Then I left 
the room, going to the last place I wanted to be. 

********** Part 32 ********** Ji Won began to wake up. He looked around
and realized he was in a hospital room. Slowly his door began to open 
and the rest of SechsKies entered his room. “Hyung?” asked Sung Hoon. 
“Are you okay?” Ji Won nodded his head weakly as he pulled himself up. 
“I'm okay now.” Jae Jin walked over to his bedside. “We're so sorry 
Matthew hyung. We didn't know what happened until this morning. We got 
revenge for you though when we wiped out the entire Black Dragon 
hideout.” “It's okay,” he told them softly as they all bowed down. Then 
a knock came to his door. The doctor came in. “Oh good, you're awake,” 
he said. Ji Won looked at him. “Thanks for saving me Doc.” “No need to 
thank me. Your girlfriend is the one who saved your life.” Ji Won began 
to panic. “What did she do?” “She could have gotten a chance to go to 
England to get a heart transplant but she decided to stay to give you 
her kidney instead.” “The girl...where is she?” he asked frantically. 
The doctor looked around the room. “She was supposed to be in here-“ Ji 
Won got out of bed and ran out of the room, leaving everyone staring 
after him. “Hyung!” all the 5 Kies shouted but Ji Won had already left. 
He ran searching for Mina. He knew where she went. 

********** Part 33 ********** June 17, 1999 Please let Ji Won be okay, I
prayed to myself silently. Hopefully my prayers will be answered. So is 
this the end? My heart never changed because it was still the same one 
I loved Ji Won with. I couldn't bear the thought of trading it with 
someone else. I was so confused. Had I finished what I had really come 
for? What will happen to my love for Ji Won? I didn't know these 
answers. I felt weaker and my pen fell from my fingers. I stopped my 
story right there. Truth is, I didn't know how to end it so I might as 
well leave it unfinished. I took off my cap and clothes. I was wearing 
a long white flowing dress underneath. It was the kind I always wanted 
to wear when I thought I was going to marry Ji Won. My hair had grew 
out a little bit. It grazed my chin. I started to put on some light 
make up and combed my hair. I don't know why I'm getting dressed up for 
but I knew I wanted to die looking like Nam Mina, and not Ahn Min Sung. 
I looked at my reflection again. At least I look like a girl now, I 
thought with a little laugh. When I was done, I leaned against the hard 
rock and wrapped my arms around it, pretending it was Ji Won. Then I 
heard a voice yelling out my name. “Mina!” I recognized the voice. Ji 
Won. I smiled, knowing at least he'll be the last person I'll see 
before I go. Ji Won looked around the beach and saw a figure in a white 
dress. ‘Mina,' he thought as he ran towards her. It was Mina. He lifted 
her into his arms and onto his lap as he sat down on the rocks. ‘Mina,' 
he whispered to her and kissed her on the neck and face. Tears began to 
fall down his face . All of my energy seemed to have been drained as I 
forced myself to open my eyes. My face felt wet but it wasn't from my 
tears and it wasn't raining either. My vision was kind of blurred and I 
couldn't see Ji Won too well. I reached up to touch his face. It was 
wet. “Ji Won,” I whispered to him. “Please don't cry. You're scaring 
me. I've never seen you cry before.” Ji Won looked down at Mina, 
through his tear-filled eyes. “I'm so sorry Mina.” “Don't say you're 
sorry,” she whispered back to him. “You've done nothing wrong.” Ji Won 
shook his head. “I'm so sorry. You've done so much for me and I haven't 
even realized it. I haven't done anything for you except put you 
through a lot of pain.” I reached up wipe away Ji Won's tears. “I 
didn't expect anything back from you oppa. But I want to know why did 
you leave me in Hawaii? I could have called the wedding off if you 
didn't want to marry me.” I felt Ji Won's grip on me tighten. “I didn't 
mean to leave you Mina,” answered Ji Won, his voice shaking. “I 
couldn't take my dad anymore. My grandpa had given me his 
inheritanceand I planned on taking you and Sung Hoon with me. I didn't 
tell you about it because I was afraid you wouldn't leave your family 
for me. When I came to your house to get you, my uncle's men were there 
waiting for me and chased me to the docks. I escaped but I wanted to go 
back but couldn't. I could have put your life in danger. This isn't the 
first time I've cried Mina. I cried when I knew I was going to be 
separated from you.” Despite the pain, I managed to smile. Ji Won 
didn't want to leave me, I thought. “Look Ji Wonee, I'm wearing the 
dress I always wanted to wear if we had gotten married.” Ji Won looked 
at me. “You're beautiful Mina,” he said to me. “If everything would 
have gone as planned, we could have been married here in Korea.” One 
thing was still bothering me. I think I managed to hold onto my life 
this long because of this question. “Ji Wonee, do you love me? I mean 
romantically, and not as your dongsang.” Ji Won looked down at Mina. 
She was beautiful. His heart ached when he saw how pale she was. He 
realized she never did knew that he had loved her all along. “Yes, 
Mina,” he told her. “I loved you since the first day we met. I loved 
you then and I had never stopped loving you.” He bent down to kiss her. 
My heart was deepened to a warm bliss. Ji Won said he loved me, I told 
myself as I felt him kiss me. Then a cold realization washed over me 
but I didn't really care. I always thought that I was hurt when I 
didn't receive Ji Won's love. Instead, I found out my pain came from 
when I didn't give Ji Won enough love. I haven't told Ji Won I loved 
him yet. “Ji Won,” I said to him as he looked down at me. “Thank you 
for making my dream come true by saying that you love me. I know you're 
lying and just saying it to repay me but you didn't have to. I did it 
all because I-I-“ I was losing my voice. Not now, please, I prayed as 
tears fell down my face. I need to tell him before I go. I reached into 
my pocket and pulled out the white marble stone Ji Won had given to me 
when I was Min Sung. I pointed towards the ocean to make Ji Won look. I 
threw the stone with all my remaining strength. It skipped 3 times. 
‘Perfect,' I thought as I closed my eyes for the last time. As Ji Won 
listened to what Mina was saying, he was stunned still. He couldn't 
believe his ears. She thought he was saying he loved her as payment of 
what she had done for him. More tears fell down his face as he shook 
his head. Then when Mina pointed out to the ocean, Ji Won saw her throw 
the stone he had given her. It skipped 3 times. I love you. Ji Won 
smiled, knowing that Mina loved him too. He had known that she had 
loved him all along but she never told it to him either. “Mina, you 
don't understand. I do love you!” he shouted. Then Ji Won looked down 
at her. She had passed on. “Mina?” He shook her gently. Her body was 
still and completely lifeless. “Mina!” he screamed in pain. He held 
onto her tightly, burying his face into her neck. He was crying so 
loudly and painfully that both their bodies shook. Sung Hoon and the 
others finally made it to where Ji Won and Mina was. They circled Ji 
Won, who was bent over holding someone they couldn't see. “Hyung,” said 
Sung Hoon as he put his hand on Ji Won's shoulder. “Are you okay? 
Where's Min Sung?” Ji Won lifted his head up and Sung Hoon saw who Ji 
Won was holding. He fell back into the sand shocked. “M...Mina?” he 
asked in disbelief. “Mina?” the others repeated. “Min Sung is Mina?” 
asked Ji Yong. Ji Won nodded his head. “She dressed up as a guy to join 
SechsKies to be with me.” “You're right, Mickey. Mina did love Matthew 
hyung,” said Jae Duc quietly. Sung Hoon got up and hugged both Ji Won's 
and Mina's bodies tightly. “Why?” he asked crying. Everyone remained 
silent. Ji Won shook his head. He moved away from Sung Hoon and turned 
to face all of them. “SechsKies is my family. You guys are all like my 
brothers. Please be my witness as I make this promise to Mina.” They 
nodded their heads sadly and listened. “Mina,” Ji Won began. “When you 
were alive, I was never able to tell you that I loved you. Now that 
you're gone, you don't believe I love you. Even though I never showed 
you the kind of love you wanted me to, it doesn't mean I didn't love 
you with all I have.” Ji Won paused and yanked off the ring around his 
necklace. “With SechsKies here as my witnesses, I, Eun Ji Won, take Nam 
Mina as my wife ‘til eternity. I have nothing to give you Mina except 
my heart, which belonged to you from the first day we met.” 

He kissed her lips as he slipped on the ring. The others watched him in
silence. They were surprised when because of all the time Ji Won had 
been their leader, he had never used his real name Ji Won before. They 
knew he was serious. When it was over, Ji Won lifted Mina up into his 
arms as he stood up. “As your leader, I have a final announcement to 
make. I am quitting SechsKies.” “What?” they all asked in disbelief. 
“Hyung,” said Su Won. “Please reconsider.” Ji Won shook his head. “This 
is the second time Mina left me. I really can't go on as your leader. 
The person I loved the most is taken away from me too soon and she died 
not knowing that I truly do love her.” The others understood what Ji 
Won meant. Jae Jin walked up to Ji Won. “What do you plan to do then 
Matthew?” “I don't know,” he answered. I'll be somewhere where I'll 
always be with Mina and constantly remind her that I love her. And as 
for SechsKies, with all the money and businesses we have, I don't see 
any reason why we have to commit any more crimes. We each have enough 
money to spend for the rest of our lives already.” They all nodded. Ji 
Won placed a hand on Sung Hoon's shoulder. “Sung Hoon,” said Ji Won. 
“Yes hyung?” asked Sung Hoon. “If you do love Kyung Hee, tell her 
before it's too late.” Sung Hoon nodded. “I will.” Ji Won looked at his 
5 brothers for the last time. “This final meeting of SechsKies is now 
adjourned. I wish you all the best and hope you do find your true love 
because I have. Good bye.” Ji Won picked up Mina's book and scribbled 
something into it. When he was done, he placed it down back on the 
rock. Then Ji Won lifted Mina's body up into his arms as he walked 
away. “Hyung!” shouted Sung Hoon. “Where are you going?” Ji Won 
continued walking and didn't answer him. The 5 Kies watched their 
leader walk towards the sunset carrying his bride and disappeared. They 
picked up the book to see what Ji Won had written. The last entry of 
Mina story was, “True love never has an ending.” The End - ML 4.8.00, -
