Chapter 38
Ringing,
Her phone went as she was near the entrance to the school. Rachel picked it up "h.e.l.lo, you done."
"Yes" Hee-Jin said her tone lighter than yesterday making Rachel think she had a new lease on life.
"I'm Already here." Rachel came to a slow stop at the entrance and saw Hee-Jin running towards her. Looking at the excited young girl Rachel lifted her sungla.s.ses. Hee-Jin entered the car with ease as she drove off. "Did well."
'Yes' Hee-Jin nodded and then got a look at Rachel's outfit. Since she was already in the mood Rachel started playing a CD.
"I ain't cooking all day (I ain't your mama!)
I ain't gon' do your laundry (I ain't your mama!)
I ain't your mama, boy (I ain't your mama!)
When you're going get your act together?
I ain't your mama...
No, I ain't your mama, No, I ain't your mama, no!"
Rachel started to jam in the car as Hee-Jin watched in amazement as she sang. Hee-Jin soon found herself singing along and doing little dancing in the car with Rachel. Rachel pulled up by the apartment complex and Hee-Jin went dead quiet.
"At the end of the day they are still your family." Rachel said and looked in her review mirror and fixed her hair and put her sungla.s.ses on as she got out of the car with Hee-Jin and only looked sadly down at the ground. Rachel pattered her head and walked with her towards. "Which one's yours?"
Hee-Jin lead her upstairs to an apartment on the side, she ran to her door and was about to open it when it suddenly swung opened.
"You wrenched girl" an older woman rushed towards Hee-Jin and was about to slap her and Rachel caught her hand. "What are you doing, how dare you interfere in family matters"
Rachel looked at the women and observed her for a bit 'So, coincidences like this do happen'
"If its about family matters, I think I do have a right"
"What?"
An Older girl appeared she was likely to be Hee-Min the older Sister of Hee-Jin. The first thing the young girl did was observe Rachel and taking in her appearance. Rachel left go of the women's hand and looked at Hee-Min.
"You must be Hee-Min, nice to meet you" Rachel said to the young girl behind the older women.
"Ah, yes nice to meet you" Hee-Min observed and judged Rachel's appearance making Rachel disappointed enough to losing Faith in this young lady immediately.
"What makes you think you have the right to interfere in our family problems!?" the women s.h.i.+rked
"Mom" Hee-Min called in a panic
"Wow, you totally became a shrew."
"What did you say?!"
"You heard me you brainless Shrew."
The older women totally raised her hand and was to smack her when Rachel caught her hand and smacked her instead. Both Hee-Jin and Hee-Min were surprised at this, this turn of events shocked.
"You….You"
"What didn't believe I would hit you, of course, I would. Afterall you raised you hand first" Rachel put her hands on her hips. "In fact I kinda want to hit you some more."
"You don't go to far?!" The women
"Or what, Min-Soo!" Rachel yelled back.
"You….You"
"Is all out know is how to you"
Hee-Jin was stunned and wondered how this Aunty knew her mother's name. Hee-Min was wondering who this woman was. As Min-Soo started to blame Hee-Jin for telling this women her name.
"I hope you're not blaming Hee-Jin for me knowing your name." Rachel suddenly said making the women go red. "As I thought Brainless."
"You how dare you?"
"I dare because I can." Rachel retorted back. But then she noticed someone approaching fast "Hee-Jin, is that your Dad"
Hee-Jin looked over and saw her dad she sighed in relief. Rang Jun-Ho walked up to his home and saw his youngest daughter along with his wife, and the new female stranger. Which made him pause for a moment as the stranger looks a little like his youngest daughter. Although, you wouldn't see it from close up but it was actually there from far away.
"Dad" Hee-Min said as she appeared out, snapping Rang Jun-Ho form his trance.
"What is going on here?" he said softly.
"Dear" Min-Soo face and voice went soft at her husband, Rachel folded her arms and couldn't help but laugh. "What are you laughing at?" Min-Soo snapped at her.
"You, of Course" Rachel said.
'You-"
"Again with the You, Goodness you can say more then that." Rachel shrugged her shoulders.
"Excuse yo-"
"I do have the right thank you very" Rachel cut in off and handed him an envelope.
"This is?" he asked confused.
"Her hospital records, of course, but to let you know that only a copy and its
"Oh…"
"What?" Min-Soo said
"OH, did your husband not tell you? I took this one to the hospital the other day."
"Why would you do such a thing such, its our family matters!" she yelled
Rachel covered her ears "Yo, Yong Min-Soo, don't make me any madder"
"Or what, what can you do"
Rang Jun-Ho winced and then grew confused "Miss, may I ask who you are?" is was odd for this young woman to be calling his voice in such a familiar tone.
"Oh, finally a sensible question? Since you wife hasn't been sensible from the beginning, you must have pampered her so much during the first years of your marriage. Too bad I wasn't there, I would have put her in her lace real quick"
"…."
"How dare you say such a thing" Min-Soo
"Excuse me but do you want another slap?"
"You how dare you?"
"Your Line's are repeating again, Min-Soo"
"Stop acting as if where familiar." She yelled back.
"Ah! But we are. Can it be that you don't remember me" Rachel said in a fake shocked voice. "I remembered we all three of us had to sleep in a shed because our parents didn't want us to be sleeping in the house with everyone."
"…." Shocked Min-Soo went pale at the memories "How?" and then came to a realization.
"Ugh, my sister is so brainless for taking this long to figure it out" Rachel took off her sungla.s.ses.
"You, NNa" Min-Soo s.h.i.+vered and then looked at her estranged younger sister, she suddenly lost her confidence not only as an older sister but as a woman as well.
Rang Jun-Ho, Hee-Min, and Hee-Jin watched the dramatic change in Min-Soo. Hee-Jin looked back forth.
"Now this is a surprise, I though you only knew how to be a shrew. Don't tell me that seeing your youngest sister after all this time is enough to knock your confidence down to this degree."
"Younger Sister, miss, you're from the Yong Family" Rang Jun-Ho asked his mind travelling. Hee-Min and Hee Jin where stunned surprised.
Rachel sighed "Family matters, huh, so even you and an idea of what was going on. Tell me is that why you married my sister. Pity."
"…" Rang Jun-Ho looked away.
"It was wasn't it, now that's disappointing. How your family turned out is as much your fault as is hers."
"…" Rang Jun-Ho looked up in surprise and was about to make a comeback.
"My sister is a cla.s.sic example of a women who never had a happy childhood. What she needed was someone who loved her, not someone who pitied her and married for convince"
"You"
"What upset are you. I am even more so; I have two niece who are being ruined by things that happened the past. I have a sister who married a complacent man who thought he did a good died by marrying an abused little girl.
Marriage is not enough so heal someone who had been abused for the first half of her life. You as her husband if you truly cared should have saw that, and even if you didn't love at least you should have been her friend and helped her heal. But no, you did nothing."
"That is not your place, to comment on"
Hee-Jin was still stunned at what was being reveled, while Hee-Min seemed to be enjoying her parents being put in their place, making her like this new aunt of her even better.
"Well, its not your place to comment on our family either is it" Rachel retorted back at him, making him shut-up. And then turned her head back to her sister "And you are just as worse, he may have been complacent but what was going through your mind. When you decided you wanted to starve and beat your own child.
Are you trying to be like the Yong family, are you trying to have a repeat of what happened to eldest Sister and what happened to her. Are?"
"…." Min-Soo said nothing, and she turned her watery eyes away.
"I think I have made my point, you both need to talk." Rachel put her hand on Hee-Jin's shoulder and place her car-keys "Hee-Jin go back to the car" She nodded and left.
"You, Hee-Jin come back here"
Hee-Jin froze and looked at her Dad, then stared at Rachel before going back to the car.
"Hee-Jin!" Rang Jun-Hoo
"Don't you dare yell at my niece like that." Rachel said as she glared at him and then turned to Hee-Min "Go pack some clothes, you'll stay with while your parents talk it out."
Hee-Min didn't refute as she went did what her aunt said not caring what her parents think.
"You, You what are you doing?"
"What does it look like" Rachel turned to her mute sister "You have some things to work out, Sis, and your children are helping you but feeding your bad habits. If you cant fix it, thin you are going to lose both your little girls."
"You are not taking my Girls anywhere?" Rang Jun-Hoo
"Oh! Is that a threat? But you see there are no laws saying I can't. Since I am an actual blood related relative."
Rang Jun-Hoo was furious and was about to make a move on her.
"Dear, don't, you won't win anyway" Min-Soo
"You, this all your fault, how could you starve and beat the girl."
"That girl is your daughter" Rachel said in alarm and she got defensive.
"I am not speaking to you"
"Well, I am. Sis, is that what this is about. You didn't have a son" Rachel got her answer when she watched her sister twitch. "You got to be kidding me, are you both serious"
"Aunt, I am finished" Hee-Min walked out and walked towards her Aunt. Rachel started to walk away with Hee-Min when he grabbed her arm in a threatening way. Making Rachel snap and twisting his arm and having face hit the ground, she nearly forgot to control he strength.
Rachel left the hand moaning in pain and after on last glance at her sister left with both Hee-Min and Hee-Jin.
Hee-Min was amazed that her aunt had a car, she looked excitedly "When do you result come out for your exam?" Rachel asked fully concentrated in the road and keeping her emotion of anger from spilling out.
"Umm, next week" Hee-Jin said.
"And you Hee-Min?"
"Around the same time" Hee-Min said sweetly trying to make herself more innocent. Hee-Jin looked sad and turned away.
"I hope the both you don't think you'll have it easy just because I yelled at your parents."
Both Hee-Jin and Hee-Min faces went pale as they s.h.i.+vered, because Rachel's tone was scary.
"Hee-Min don't think that acting cute will make me baby you. As for you Hee-Jin, I can precisely say the say thing about you. It was fine before because I didn't, I was your Aunt at the time. But, its different now that I do know. I can't very well as you blood relative allow you both to stay the way you are due to your parents being awful parent now can I."
Back at the hotel if you didn't already notice, when Hee-Jin started to cry over food the real reason Rachel was surprised was at the girl's acting skills. It was true she suffered, that wasn't false, but Hee-Jin went through a rebirth. She was technically a woman of over forty years old. Her words and her action where meet to incite Rachel, to her will and cater the girl. She would give her pity but not the world.
That is why Rachel indulged her, because she wasn't going to see the girl again. But, now it's different with Rachel being their Aunt. These two girls where raised by that older sister of her, who kept quiet and to herself but was always secretly plotting.
That was a deception, something in which these two girls are perfecting. It is fine to use it to protect themselves but, they are using this deception for benefits.
For nothing more than greed, but, she will make sure to correct that. Afterall it isn't like she hasn't done it before.
