My doorbell buzzes nonstop . My rub my eyes and climb off the bed . I wonder why did I get the doorbell . I don"t need it . I decide to ignore the doorbell like always .
The doorbell doesn"t stop ringing . I am irritated . Who is it? I make all my payments online . Nothing is due . I don"t like people visiting my house . I keep ignoring it . It doesn"t stop at all . n.o.body likes to listen to nonstop annoying loud noises as the first thing in the morning . I finally go to the door . I don"t want to open it .
But, the doorbells don"t stop ringing . My head hurts because of the sound . I kick my door and yell, "Who is it?"
"Open the door, Rie . " This voice is familiar . "I am your aunt . "
"Go away . "
"Rie, open the door . It"s important . "

"I don"t have any energy to deal with you . "
"Rie! It is your mother . " My aunt sounds like she is crying . "She died in an accident . "
My aunt doesn"t stop ringing the bell until I open the door .
I don"t recognize anyone else other than my aunt . Everyone is dressed in black formal clothes . I feel the need to get out of place and go back to my home . The comfort of my home is heavenly compared to this . I suppose a funeral isn"t supposed to be comfortable .
My mother is smiling in the picture . She looks the same despite the years that have pa.s.sed . I wonder how much she spent to keep that youthful look . It feels strange to see her after eighteen years . I am attending her funeral .
Why did I come? My aunt didn"t stop ringing the bell until I opened the door .

"You should pay respect to your step-father . " I hear my aunt whisper to me .
"Must I?" I raise my brow .
"Once you are done, you can leave . "
"I guess, you must keep appearances . " I roll my eyes .
"If the reporters didn"t find out about you, I would have never called you here . " Her face twists in anger . "If you have little shame, then do what I have asked of you and leave this place quietly . "
"It"s not me who should be ashamed . " I glance at my mother"s picture . "Anyway, I will do what you want because arguing with you will be a waste of my energy . I will pay respect to that man and leave . "

My aunt hisses in anger . She keeps her mouth shut when she sees people taking pictures of us . I keep a poker face and sit down on my knees to pay my respects to the dead .
"I hate you, you . I hate her . Both of you can suffer in the afterlife together . " I keep my voice low . "Don"t rest in peace, you two . I curse you and her . I curse that your descendants rot with genital diseases . "
"What did you say?" A chilling voice sends a jolt down my spine . I turn my head and find a man sitting next to me . He has intense dark eyes and porcelain skin . His dark hair is combed back . His gnarls at me . Even when he is angry, he looks beautiful .
Is it okay for a man to look this beautiful? Is he wearing lipstick?
"How dare you to curse my father and me?"
Oh, s.h.i.+t!
I smile awkwardly . "Um, about that . . . I am well . . . I . . . "
"She"s your step sister . " My aunt suddenly appears . "She is here to pay her last respects . "
"Respect?" His lip curls downward . "Are you sure?"
I get up and give him a slight bow . I walk out of the funeral house as fast as I can . Thankfully, he didn"t stop me . I guess, he didn"t want to make any scene . Out of the funeral house, I take deep breaths of relief . I nearly died because of those intense eyes .
"What the . . . " I punch my chest lightly . "Why did he suddenly appear like that? Did that old geezer want his son to hear what I was saying? He is really not resting in peace . My curse must have worked . "
People are still going and leaving out of the funeral house . n.o.body pays attention to me . I take a taxi back to my house . I am back to my old life . There is no more disturbance .
