Episode 53

……..(2 years later)…….
……Rissa’s pov……
The rain was too much. Too windy and heavy. Well, luckily for me, I was safe inside the room with grandma.
A movie was going on and we had ourselves covered under the blanket each holding a bowl of popcorn. Pineapple – all big and grown up laid next to me partly keeping me warm.
This was how grandma and I spent the rainy nights. It’s much better than hiding In a dark room doing nothing but praying that the rain seizes soon.
“Ha! I told you they would fall in love…!!” Grandma exclaimed and I took my eyes to the television screen.
The male lead was kssing the female lead passionately. That’s too soon and quite expected.
“Oh, come on. A kss doesn’t guarantee true love and besides, love doesn’t exist. I don’t believe in It so please can we switch to a fashion show or wrestling. Anyone would be great!” I pleaded adjusting on the pillow behind me.
“No. I really need to catch up on my telenovela” She said jingling her body with her hands in the air.
“I don’t know why and how you enjoy this. The same thing keeps happening over and over again, they always fall in love after everything” I peeved getting off the bed.
“Carissa…” She called after me as I approached the window which was clamped shut before the rain started.
“What are we without love?” She muttered under her breath and I scoffed.
“I don’t know…Grams. I really don’t know” I replied attempting to open the window a bit.
“Don’t do that!” She cautioned from behind.
“I’m eighteen, Grams. I can do whatever I want…” I replied and flung the windows open.
A gush of fast wind accompanied with rain droplets purged into the room.
“Rissa??!!” She bickered.
I smiled and quickly closed back the windows. The previous rush of window stopped but I was glad I had some water frok the rain on me. And then, the wind that had ruined my hair.
“Eighteen, my foot. Get your bu.tt here so we can finish this movie, Rissa” Grandma ordered and I cringed.
“Coming…” I turned around and went back to her. I noticed her eyes were observing how I walked.
“Geez! Grandma, why are you staring at me like that?” I asked curiously.
A short smile crept on her face.
“Just that you’ve grown a lot – your hips and curves. You’re such a beauty” She commented and I flushed..
I’m not curvy though.
She helped me get on my normal position. Pineapple had been quiet all these while.
Most times, i wish I could understand his dog language.
“So…your graduation ceremony is this week. How do you feel leaving high school??” She asked reducing the volume of the television with the remote.
I shrugged my shoulders thinking of an answer.
“To be honest, I feel very happy about it. I would miss my crazy classmates and hilarious teachers of course, but I just can’t wait to plan on getting into university” I stated frenetically.
“That’s good. Better than what i expected you to say. Your mom said she wants to throw a party to celebrate your graduation. We didn’t get to talk much about it before she hang up. She did mention it being a big surprise for you” She informed looking heavenwards.
“I’m glad you told me because I’m so not interested…” I replied slightly shaking my head.
“Really?? You’ve changed so much, Rissa. You loves going to parties when you were still little. It was your best moments” She recalled and I chuckled.
“I wouldn’t be blamed for that…” I remarked as my face reddened.
It’s just the both of us but I felt extremely embarrassed.
As much as I’m excited about leaving highschool, I still ask myself what the next move will be.
…….(Seoul, Korea)…….
…….Mykel’s pov….
I picked up the rings one after the other and inserted them in my fingers. They were all made of gold and sold for the most expensive price you could ever think of.
Today’s mission went in a breeze and I decided to treat myself to something nice.
Something I’d enjoy for a few minutes before I report back to Mr Frosh.
The l..ady was waiting patiently on the bed ready for me to mount her and bless her with a ride.
For risk sake, my boys always test the girls of any infectious disease before bringing anyone to me.
I’m very selective though.
If she wasn’t clean enough, I would not touch her. Even if she’s the prettiest girl in Korea.
I’m not getting on her.
I wore my mask so she doesn’t see my face – there was lots of reasons for this.
I unwrapped the cd and wore it before approaching the girl. She was dressed in a night dress so small.
………(An Hour Later)……
I stepped out of the room with my belt unlocked and shirt half buttoned. The whole make out stressed me out and I just needed something heavy to drink.
I got to the other hallway when suddenly, someone ran past me almost pushing me to the floor.
“He’s getting away! Boss wants him captured!!” One of the guards yelled coming after the man.
I bought out the gun in my back pocket and went after the man as well. He ran too fast so I cocked my gun and fired it two times releasing two bullets on the man.
He crashed to the floor and started bleeding immediately.
The guards showed up and quickly checked the man’s pulse.
“jug-eun” *He’s dead* He announced staring down at him.
“Arayo…” *I know* I replied, inserted my gun back into the pocket and walked away.
