Four
The next day.
Kyung Mi woke up with a sore body from her trip to Seoul yesterday. The feel of the bed against her back took forever to separate. Half of her sticks were sold. It's not the way it should be but it should be enough. Not only body ache she's feeling but a terrible headache. What's wrong with me? she asked herself. She finished selling at around 10 in the evening and its quite harder for her because people in Seoul are more busy with their lives than buying a light stick. The realization hit her that Seoul is not the right place to sell. But she's not giving up. She has to sell all the light sticks or else she might not be able to recover her money she bought with these sticks as her capital. One more day she said if things get worse she will go home.
Apart the from the light sticks, she's got another problem to deal with or just ignore. She has a hunch that the headache she's feeling is because of the strange lady she encountered yesterday in the streets.
That lady is mental...
How could she call me names I didn't even heard about?
Strange name it is, Joselin?
Is that even a Korean name?
Strange...
Arrrggh I have to get up!
And she got up.
"What's wrong?" her auntie asked.
Kyung Mi walking out from her room holding her head with a frown.
"Oh, nothing. Just headache" she answered.
Her aunt just finished cooking omelet and pumpkin soup for breakfast.
"The soup I made is just perfect. Here have some" Her aunt put a bowl of soup as she sits down on the dinning area. Kyung Mi took a deep breath and started eating the soup.
A sudden knock from the door totally woke Kyung Mi up as if someone's put a bomb on her chair. She almost jumped from her sit and looked back at the door. A familiar voice she heard.
It was her father.
"Appa!" Kyung Mi surprised.
Kyung Mi hurriedly opened the door while her aunt busy at the back door hanging clothes.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
Her father bringing two big strollers and one bag that made Kyung Mi is puzzled. Just when Kyung Mi was about to open her mouth to ask what those bags are for her father interfered.
"We are moving here with your aunt" he said,
Again Kyung Mi was about to answer then his father said as if reading Kyung Mi's mind "Yes, for good".
Kyung Mi helped her father with the bags and took it in her room. When she came back her aunt already talking with her father.
"Is there something I should know about?" Kyung Mi asked the both of them.
Her dad and aunt stopped on their conversation and her aunt began to explain.
"Kyung Mi, you and your father will live here with me" her aunt said.
"But what about my studies?" she asked.
"Don't worry I already made the arrangements. Starting on monday you will go to our university" her aunt answered.
"In Ehwa University?!" Kyung Mi surprised.
"Yes my dear" her aunt answered with a big smile on her face.
Kyung Mi turned her head towards her father. She's confused. Doesn't know what to feel.
"Appa, since when are you both planning this?" Kyung Mi asked her father.
"We've been talking about this for quite sometime now Kyungie, I think it's time", "The landlady kept bugging me about the rent pay. I already paid her full but that's gonna be our last money so I think it's time." Her father explained.
"But I have money here. I can pay for the rent" Kyung Mi said.
"It's okay Kyungie, you can keep it" Her dad answered.
"But what about your job?" Kyung Mi concerned about her father's job as a construction worker.
Her aunt butted in.
"Oh.. that's been handled already dear. Our university is now rebuilding the engineer department so your father will start working there"
Kyung Mi was wondering why everything is already in order. She got in Seoul just yesterday. She's flustered like something has been happening without her knowing it.
"Everything's gonna be alright Kyungie, don't worry" Her dad reassured Kyung Mi as if he read her mind again.
After a mind cracking conversation with her aunt and father, Kyung Mi went out again to Shinchon-dong to sell her remaining light sticks. This time she transferred to the streets of Changcheon-dong. She chose the spot in front of Adidas store. It's an intersection so she thought this could be a great spot to sell as people will be coming from all sides of the street.
Just when she was about to sold her 5th stick, a whistle was blown on her left side. Two policemen going on her way whistling.
Oh shit police she said and started to pack her things as quickly as she could. When everything's in her bags she started to run towards her right side. Her heart started running with her as this is the first time police chasing her. Losing her breath and almost giving up, a hand quickly grabbed her right arm. The feeling is like a hole swallowed her or an alien abducted her in a snap of a finger. The hand pulled her and quickly ran into an alley along the street. Kyung Mi is too busy looking back worried the police might catch up to see who pulled her or who just saved her ass. She's panting. She can't breath anymore. She has to stop to catch her breath.
"Wait... wait.wait" Kyung Mi said panting.
Only then she saw the hand and it's from a lady but she doesn't have a clue who it is. She can't recognize her. Too exhausted to register on her mind who she is. The lady grabber pull her again and put against the wall and her hand on her mouth to shut her up.
"Ssshhhhhh.. shut your mouth or we'll both end up in jail" The lady grabber said.
Kyung Mi was stunned to see that the lady grabber is the strange lady who called her strange name yesterday. Her eyes bulging in surprise. What the fuck she said to herself while the strange lady is trying to shut her up.
The police went pass through the alley signaling the strange lady that it is safe now for them. Strange lady took a deep breath as if she's also nervous. She put down her hand from Kyung Mi's mouth and put it on her heart to check if it's still beating.
Kyung Mi shocked and exhausted. She's thinking the name this lady gave her. Ca...Carla?Carol? Cam..cami..Camila she thought.
"Whew.. that was close!" Camila said.
"You again..." Kyung Mi said.
"Oh you're welcome Joselin!" Camila answered back with sarcasm.
"Thanks" Kyung Mi said looking down shy.
"Geez Joselin, still not finished with these?" Camila pointing to the bags of light sticks.
"Seoul is pretty much occupied than Gangnam" Kyung Mi answered.
"So you're from Gangnam then?" Camila asked.
Kyung Mi nodded and knelt down to check her light sticks. She doesn't want to talk to her anymore. She's too weird for Kyung Mi.
When she's done checking her things up, she stood and said "Look, Camila right? I'm really grateful you saved my ass from those police. Now if you don't mind can I go now? I still have lots of things to do". Kyung Mi said it because Camila is blocking the way out from the alley. The alley is too narrow for them to stand together side by side. Camila didn't move. She's too desperate to know what have happened to her so-called friend. When Kyung Mi saw Camila didn't even move a foot she said "Are you stalking me?".
Kyung Mi felt offended that Camila didn't move.
"No Joselin no.." Camila also offended.
"Then let me go" Kyung Mi ordered.
Camila took a deep breath and said "I don't know what happened. But Joselin I'm gonna find out. I promise"
"What the.." Kyung Mi even got more confused. She wanted to punch the lady. She's getting into her nerves. Kyung Mi closed her eyes and said to herself Calm down Kyung Mi. You can handle this.
"Okay. To get this over with. Can we please go some place where we can talk 3 feet away, atleast?" Kyung Mi said.
"Perfect! I have a right place in mind" Camila grabbed her arm again, this time like what friends do. Kyung Mi looked at her puzzled What's with this woman? So weird.
Camila took her to a coffee shop a couple of blocks away from the alley. The coffee shop is called "With Espresso".
Kyung Mi ordered just iced tea while Camila ordered Iced coffee. Kyung Mi is too thirsty to drink something sweet or bitter. She needed something to take away the exhaustion from her body.
"Okay. look Joselin. This might sound crazy for your but just let me talk first" Camila said.
Kyung Mi thought to herself she's got nothing to lose. Just hear her story and get out of the cafe if you can't take it anymore. Easy as that.
"Alright" Kyung Mi nodded while drinking her iced tea.
Camila took a deep breath before she started.
"Have you ever heard of Kalachakras?" Camila asked and Kyun Mi shook her head.
"You and your twin are Kalachakras. Your souls can be reincarnated with your full awareness. As for me, I'm your guardian, an Overseer. I'm not an angel but close to it. My job is for you to be safe and away from the Eruochakras. Eruochakras are evil chakras. They collect good souls and angel potentials to make them evil and spread all over this world. They recruit. We overseer's job is to protect our potentials to be recruited by the eruos"
Kyung Mi feels like throwing up. She can't believe she's hearing this.
"That's it. Enough. Nice meeting you. Bye!" Kyung Mi stands up and grabbed her things.
"No no! Stay!" Camila begged, "Please..."
"Do you really expect me to believe all that you've said? This is ridiculous" Kyung Mi said.
"You're adopted right?" Camila said.
Kyung Mi stopped and stared to Camila like she saw a ghost.
"How did you know that?" Kyung Mi asked.
"I told you. I'm your overseer" Camila defended.
"Where's my real parents?" Kyung Mi suddenly asked. She wants to know it. Badly.
"I'm not in the position to answer that. Perhaps you have to ask your father" Camila answered.
Kyung Mi suddenly wants to ask Camila that if she really is her guardian how come she was so surprised when she saw her in the streets yesterday.
"I lost you. The both of you. It's like someone blocked your signal. I couldn't sense you anymore. I looked all over the world for you. You don't know what I've been through just to find you. It's like something went wrong along the way when your previous body died. Something or someone blocked you. The both of you".
"Well looks like destiny helped you. Here I am in front of you" Kyung Mi joked.
"Oh thank God for that" Camila said.
Meanwhile
A charity event sponsored by YJ Brewery was held. Several kpop idols are invinted such Boyfriend and A-pink performed. 50% earned by this event will proceed to the Sewol Ferry victims. As the honorary guest of the event, Jin Ae sat at the very front seat to get the best view of the program. She's wearing a black dress with a flowered lace short sleeved. Her hair with big curls at the end. Only an emerald gold bracelet to top up her attire.
The next day.

As the honorary guest of the event, Jin Ae sat at the very front seat to get the best view of the program. She's wearing a black dress with a flowered lace short sleeved. Her hair with big curls at the end. Only an emerald gold bracelet to top up her attire.
Mrs. Kim of the Empire Hotels seated beside her on the left while Ms. Choi the Heiress of Jewelry company at her right.
"Congratulations on your engagement Ms. Yoon" Mrs. Kim said.
"Oh I thought that's only a rumor" Ms. Choi butts in.
Jin Ae being so poised and proper, she just smiled and looked away from them. Of course she's annoyed. Everybody knows the she's engaged and she didn't even agreed about.
"You know what, people kept talking about your fiance Ms Yoon. You are one lucky girl" Mrs Kim said.
Ha ha wait till you meet him Jin Ae said to herself. She just smile and nod everytime the ladies talked to her.
"Oh yeah, have you heard? There's this rumor that your wedding will happen in a month. How true is that Ms. Yoon? Ms. Choi asked.
This bitch! I don't even know this guy! Jin Ae felt like screaming. What the hell are they talking about? It seems like they know all of it but me"
"Oh tell us more about your fiance Ms. Yoon! I heard he's really a one hot man!" Mrs Kim said.
"He even got 20 cars right? All luxury cars. My boyfriend barely gives me a car. You are so lucky Ms. Yoon!" Ms. Choi said.
Oh please! Shut up! Jin Ae's inner self wanted to slap those faces who kept swooning over Dae Hyun. They don't know how beast of a person he is. Just a thought of him is disgusting for Jin Ae but she has to agree on one thing. He's hot. Oh my god.
As the event goes to its ending, the MC suddenly announced a special guest arrived and wants to say something for the event. Jin Ae unaware of what the MC has just announced because of her annoyance over the two ladies beside her.
All she need is a nice fresh air outside to clear bad things from her mind. She need to take Dae Hyun away from her mind. She excused herself and just when she was about to exit the venue, a familiar name she heard from the MC. She stopped and can't believe what she just heard. Don't look. Don't look!. She doesn't want to see if the name she heard is the same person she's disgusted with.
Oh my god. Don't look Jin Ae. Go outside and never comeback! she tried so hard to stop herself but her feet betrayed her. She turned around and saw the guy she swore she'll never laid her eyes on.
Lee Dae Hyun.
