Kyomi broke down. She told Nurray everything, how it was Kei who had run over her father that night, that he had demanded that she pay for the damage done to his car and that when Nurray wasn"t around he would verbally hara.s.s her. Kei had remebered her and the only reason he had approached Nurray was to torment Kyomi everyday. "You"re mistaken! Big brother Kei is a good person, he would never hurt anyone! You"re just upset that someone is taking me away from you! It"s not like that, we"ll stay together, we are family, you are my big sister Kyomi. Can"t you be happy for me?! Please?" Nurray asked desperatley.
Kyomi"s body trembled. She never thought Nurray wouldn"t believe her words. "Look big brother Kei said he knows that I mean a lot to you and it would be hard for you to see me happy without you but I love big brother Kei... So please for me, just try to accept him and give him a proper chance. Okay? He is not the guy you made up in your head." Nurray said as she grabbed Kyomi"s hands.
Kyomi felt her heart shatter, Nurray had already taken his side. Nurray"s eyes looked so determined. She really wanted to convince Kyomi otherwise. Kyomi tried to swallow saliva down but her mouth was dry.
"Okay...." Kyomi said weakly. Nurray threw herself on to Kyomi. "Thank you big sister, I know you will come to like him too." Nurray whispered happily.
....
"It turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life." Aroha explained a she looked up Ariana. Giant blobs of tears spilled from her black beady eyes. "I should have fought to have Nurray understand my feelings, have her understand the truth about that man and then maybe I could have saved her, maybe I could have saved myself but my chances for a new life were already used up."
.....
Kyomi was shocked, she didn"t know how or why but Kei was leaving her alone. He stopped harra.s.sing her but she still felt uncomfortable with the way he looked at her. Sometimes it was ice cold, mockery and other times she felt like she was standing completlely naked in front of him. It was unsettling.
Ushi had become somewhat distant but Kyomi didn"t think twice about it. She knew that University exams were around the corner. He had planned to take over Kim Enterprises and she didn"t want to distract him from any of his studies. Over the few months she would often prepare a snack for him when he was studying late at night but nine times out of ten he wouldn"t acknowledge her existence.
Until one night Kyomi brought him a stew that she made from scratch. She saw how he rubbed his temples as he loomed over a letter that he had just received. "You okay?" Kyomi asked. Ushi grabbed the letter and shoved it into a drawer. He then turned to look at Kyomi. "Ushi?" Kyomi called out. Ushi stared at her lips, his Adam"s apple bobbed as his stare intensified.
Suddenly he stood up and grabbed Kyomi"s waist. Kyomi shriek from the sudden action but she wasn"t going to be pushing him away, not today at least. It had been a year since he first confessed and she wanted to cherish their time together. "I love you." Ushi said before sealing Kyomi"s lips with his own. Kyomi"s eyes grew wide as she felt Ushi slip his tongue into her mouth. He moaned as he fully tasted her. "Ushi..." Kyomi said breathlessly as a small blush kissed her cheeks.
"I want you." Ushi whispered desperatley. Kyomi bit her bottom lip as she averted her gaze.She could do it, she wanted to make this day special. She always wished that her first time would be something romantic but the look in Ushi"s eyes made her cave. "Ushi... okay." Kyomi answered softly.
The next day at breakfast Kyomi"s waist was in pain. She could barely move but she grinned and bared it. She didn"t want to tip off the family that her and Ushi had become one. At breakfast Ushi shocked everyone. "I"m going to do my two years of conscription, I won"t go to University. I"m leaving tomorrow." Ushi announced to the family.
Kyomi"s jaw dropped, Mrs. Kim practically fainted and Mr. Kim turned from pale to beat red. "You can do your conscription after you graduate University! You can even further your studies while in the army, do not act recklessly." Mr. Kim shouted. "You can"t change my mind." Ushi said coldly. "What about Kyomi?! Are you going to leave her alone for two years?!" Si Chen shouted as he pounded the table.
"Kyomi..." Ushi called out as he looked at her. "I"m breaking up with you." Ushi said coldly. Kyomi fainted. Nurray screamed as Mrs. Kim caught her in her arms. "Ushi to my study now!" Mr. Kim shouted.
.....
Kyomi stood up from the floor and wipped her tears away. She quickly packed her bags. "What are you doing Kyomi?" Si Chen called out from her bedroom door. Kyomi looked back and gave Si Chen a weary smile. "I can"t stay here anymore." Kyomi said as she zipped up her luggage. "Where are you going to go? You can"t move into your dorm for another two weeks." Si Chen said helplessly.
"I don"t care. I can"t stay here." Kyomi said pitifully. "Is it because Ushi is coming back this weeked?" Si Chen asked cautiously. Kyomi flinched. "I didn"t know." Kyomi replied pitifully. "Kyomi..." Si Chen called out affectionately. "Sorry Si Chen, I can"t be around your family anymore. It hurts too much. I don"t want to be your real sister, I don"t want to see that b.a.s.t.a.r.d anymore and I don"t want to hurt Nurray."
"We still haven"t figured out if Kei was the one who did that to you." Si Chen said as he placed a gentle hand on top her shoulder. Kyomi trembled. "Which icident are you referring too? Killing my father? R*ping me not once but multiple times? Ruining my reputation at school by spreading my nude photos? Or having me gang r*ped? Please tell me Si Chen?! I"m glad he was not my first man but I can never be with anyone! I"m dirty and will bring shame to your family name! I"m leaving and you can"t stop me!" Kyomi shouted
