I was so happy that I went out to celebrate with my girls at a club we usually go. most of my girls were really attractive Son-Jun aa and Ara-park both of them were successful doctors who used to work with me.
They were like sisters to me, so when I shared the news with them, they were really happy for le. I called them up and they scream with joy even more than I did. I wore a cute short black and silver dress that was both classy and a little bit revealing and curled my long hair down and threw on some sparkly black heels.
We got to the club; my girls were as usual gorgeous. Son-Jun was our baby she always dressed in the most girly dress, she had o a pink dress that had sleeves and had puffs in the shoulder. Ara however, usually dressed in the gothic style, black dress black combat shoes short shorts and a black top, she looked mysterious and dangerous but most men automatically were drawn to her.
We ordered couple of rounds of drinks, we were having fun dancing and taking pictures as we usually did. men would approach us but we were out as a group of girls no men allowed. Through the night I had this terrible feeling in the pit of my smith as if someone was watching me. I would be dancing and then stop and start to look around.
Ara "Kim-so what is wrong?" she looked really concerned
"nothing hh, I thought I saw someone I knew "I shrug off not wanting to alarm the girls.
I pull her and son-Jun to a quite ^place.
We were casually talking and rating the best dressed girls to the worst as all girls do until Son-Jun's features changed
"Son-Jun what is it again" questioned Ara
"okay, Kim-soo don't be alarmed but isn't that young- ju "
"what !?" I shout that my voice is heard over the music. The people around us look at me as if I lost my mine
"where" askes Ara trying to look past the people blocking my view
"she is by the bar, with the girl with the blue hair and the tattooed guy" she nods her hair
I get up but Ara pulls me back "honey, you have to calm down before you go and talk to her, don't embarrass her"
"embarrassing her should be the least of her worries, she best starts digging her grave, she is 17 Ara. she supposed to be asleep by now and getting ready for a fruitful day at school "
I pull my hand from her grasp and storm to where she was setting but one of her friends spots me and alarms her. she grabs her jacket and makes a run to the door. I did the same thing I stormed out the club following her
"young Jun get over her now !!" I'm yelling and running to catch up to her. I take out my shoes and start running to catch her she doges behind a parked car
"Kim-soo, just listen to me!" she begs
"ha- listen. There is no excuse for what you are doing in the middle of the night at a club "
"the same thing you are doing "she flips her hair as if she won the argument
"I am 28-year-old women and a doctor no less, if I want to let my hair down and go out, I earned it. what have you done with your life to deserve that luxury?"
She doges again, I take a one of my shoes and throw it at her head but she dodges the hit
"Kim-soo, are you insane that could seriously injure me" she exclaims
"that is exactly what I want to do, get your little but over her now don't make me even more angry"
"no "she yells once more,
"I swear if you don't get over here...… ha you know what, no more trainee program I'm done paying for that "
And as if I threw a bucket of frozen water on her she froze over and started wailing "no, Onii pleas I beg of you"
I make a run to her and finally grab her by the lapel of her shirt. I drag her to the car and find the girls already waiting for me by the car. Ara had her phone directed to us.
"this will make you so famous, Kim-soo" she says trying to contain her laughter
"Goodman when did I get so old, I'm out of breath over this little punk"
I put her in the back door and hop back to where I left my shoe and put it on and try to go back to the car with any remaining dignity, although that was long gone. Most people outside the club had a good look=ck at our dispute. I drive the girls to their place first
Ara tries to pacify the situation "Kim-soo go easy on her okay she is just a kid"
I nod to them and drop them off
"Onii." I waive my hand; I was driving and I didn't want to get even more upset.
I get out of the car and slam the door and usher her inti the living room. I take a deep breath and head to the kitchen. I cool off with a tall glass of water.
"sit down "I order my wondering sister
"I have had it with you, I can't keep doing this. I have provided you with everything you ever wished for, the best school, the best cloths, the best vacation any 17-year-old girl could ever wish for. Why are you making my job more difficult "?
She tries to interrupt but I shush he
"no you listen here, you are doing bad at school, you are skipping judo classes, your teacher are
getting fed up and frankly so have I. when mom and dad died I was left in charge you know that I had to put myself in their shoes and I'm trying I really am so why are you making it difficult for me, can't you see that I'm trying here why won't you meet me half way"
"Onii, I was meeting my friends"
"young Jun you are 17 that place in no place for a minor, and hand over the fake ID"
She reluctantly pulls it out of her jacket, I immediately get the scissors and cut it to pieces.
"hand in your phone, laptop, and tablet, and music player, all your benefits are revoked. Unless you want them for school you aren't allowed to use them and you can forget about trainee classes"
"what no, Onii don't be a bi*//"
"I don't mind being one sweetie, if it means you have a future "I sit down and calmly cross my legs" if you want your privileges back, I'm expecting all your next grades to be B plus or higher "
"but the exams are next week "she exclaims
"good that means you have 7 days to get your life around, or you can forget about Paris"
I let her steaming down stays and go in my bedroom, I grab a cup of milk and head to my balcony.
"ugh mom, what I'm I doing wrong"
-----------------------
I close my eyes and let the past take me back to the worst day of my life. I was in the hospital still a junior in the hospital a trainee doctor. Half of the day was spent running around the hospital confused scared exited. I had done so little in that period as a practicing doctor, when we had a code red.
That meant a multi car rash one by one they rolled victims of the rash blood was everywhere the ER was crowded with people who had serious injuries, I was thrown into that situation with the little of the knowledge I had when I spotted my baby sister her head was bleeding ad arm gushing of blood. I pushed everyone aside to gets to her, she was silent unmoving, her eyes were black and lifeless.
She looks me in the eye and points at two body cover with white blanket I rose so slowly and creep by their side.
I knew, I just knew what was waiting for me under that blood-soaked cloth. I peek under it and my knee failed me cold sweat running down my temple. They are gone.
