But with You, I can Feel again

Im exhausted from last night, i stayed up helping minah attend to her wounds. they were pretty bad, they kept on needing to be cleaned and changed every 30 mins. we had barely any resting time.

minho? are you ok, you dont look so well? onew-hyung ask voice full of concern.

wah, Hyung what happen??!! oh man, its to early for taemin to be this hyper.

anni, nothing much, minah was just hurt yesterday.

oh… theres an awkward silence that evolves around us…
what happen this time minho? Jonghyun-hyung eyes plead to know.

she didnt tell me directly but it had to do something with appa, and you know about her being…

yeah, we got it…

is she at least better now? Key-hyung

I think she is, i wont be for sure until after the day, but she seemed fine this morning.

they all nod their had in unionson

Anneyoung!! hyun-woo chimes in smiling brightly, but it quickly fades as his eyes land on us..
on the other hand, sulli comes adn sit with out saying a word, and being….shy???

ahh… did i interupt something, hyun-woo is already rubbing his nape.

anni, i manage to croak out, there was nothing, were just tired and quiet thats all.

Pshhh who said anything beign tired, im full of energy! taemin leaps upon his desk.

dont mind him, his always like this, youll get use to it, onew-hyung cracks a smile at hyun-woo.

“ok students, today for free period there will be swim class, were gotten a new coach.” Teacher lee’s voice booms around the classroom.

his announcement sends the class astir, you can hear some kids begin to groan and whine, some girls whispering and giggling, and some guys begin getting too hyped…

argh, i dont see the excitement of going to the pool. sulli rolls her eyes as she leans back in her chair,

why arent you excited, im surprised i even asked this question to her

I cant swim she says bluntly, turning to meet my gaze but then quickly looking away.

will you all swim today? hyun-woo asks with wide-open eyes like a 5-year old seeign sweets.

ne! anni…

2 different replies, everyone else will be in the pool but i wont touch the water..

anni? how come minho-hyung?

ahh, i try to make a good excuse for hyun-woo… ahhh i easily get cramps, i dont do to well in water, so its no fun just floating at the edge.

ohhh, he nodds his head as if he needed to understand because his life depended on it,
but i turn to lock eyes with sulli who is giving me the “i dont believe your story look”.
wae? i ask heranni, and she gets up to follow the class outside.

arresso, lets go.

when we get to the indoor pool, we split by gender to get ready.

since im not going to swim i just make my way to the lounge chairs.

staring at the water enviously… I no longer swim when peoples around, not even with my family… i only do it alone…. I do miss the joy of being with people splashing in the water…

Its ok, youll get the fun back one day. hyun-woo says taking a seat next to me.

hmmm??

you said you get cramps right? If you start slowly getting back into the water, Itll come back naturally for you. and the fun will return for you and everyone. he turn over from staring at the water and gives me a chink happy smile.

I cant help but smile back at him and nod my head.

well then lets get started, I am your new teacher, mr.kim and the girls will be having mrs. park

everyone lines up and is in order, all of course except me, and teacher kim notices…

yah! you there, do you think your to good to take part in this class..

aish, teachers like him are the ones i hate the most, cant they just learn to mind their own business, so what if one student doesnt join an activity….

Yah! dont make me repeat myself…!
Anni, Teahcer kim, i just dont swim...

well you are today,
anni, i wont be..

I make my way back to the entrance what he grabs the back of my collar dragging me back.

I said you will.

psh, as if, i easily twist and turn out of his grip, ive learned many manuvior to get out of many situations. his grip was the easiest.

Sungsuim, i think its best to leave him alone, jonghyun-hyung comes to my rescue.

ne, please dont make it hard for yourself, just let him be, Taemin starts but Key-hyung finishes

Anni! if hes a student in my class hes going to participate, and he begins to attack me to bring me back

Sungsuim, hajima, I wouldnt do that if i were you!

to late teacher kim has already reached for my shirt and pulled it… *RIIIP*

my shirt rips in half. half on my left side body, but revealing my other half, my right side...

the side with the tattoo i was forcefully given… one i never asked for, the one i try to hid from the word, but is now revealed to the world, the reason i longer swim….

To my surprise its hyun-woo, running to me with his shirt and covering me as taemin throws a towel around.


Sungsuim, what part of hajima and dont do that did you not understand… onew-hyung slowly walks up to teacher kim with a death glare..
Sadly this is not what i achieve in, ill leave you to be taught a lesson by others.
Taemin, jonghyun, its your turn
key lets go.

I swiftly make my way out, horrified that everyone has seen the tattoo i despise.


Its a dragon and tiger fighting.. although some people may look at it as a good thing, mine definetly is not.

Its a symbol of my everyday struggle and fight within myself.
as well as battling the world for my place..

lastly its a reminder of who i am, the 3rd son of the choi family, like the tattoo, will always be eduring pain adn fight, untill one winner remains which is my destiny……

after getting extra clothes and changing, im banbarded with questions and "are you alrights" as I leave the complex.

Ne, im.ok, but I think ill take a little time alone.
They all nod and begin to leavr one by one. Hyun-woo sadly smiles before he goes.
Somehow hell fit right into us, but hes still transitioning in.
well see if his pure soul soon gets tinted by the darkness of the rest of us...

Hyung dont stay away too long, think, but always remember to include us too. Taemin pats my shoulder before taking off too.

after swim class there is no class, but I dont feel like going to the roof, suddenly I feel my feet having its own.mind and subcounsiously making.its way to the woods behind.the school.

sullis pov
After the insident with minho, taemin and jonghyun-oppa stays back even tho the rest of them left.

Now were going to teach you what happens when you mess with our friend.
Lets just say ive never seen a mankae or such a sweet person become so agressive and mercyless in less then 5seconds.

I was able to sneak out, after witnessing all that, im really interested in minhos upbringing... And maybe its time to tell someone of mine..? Maybe?

As I was about to turn a corner, I hear voices, and like a spy I automatically begin to hug the wall and easedrop...

Ne, im.ok, but I think ill take a little time alone.
One by one I see them leave, I was even able.to spot oppa, im glad where im standing im hidden behind a wall and stairs!

A couole seconds later I hear: Hyung dont stay away too long, think, but always remember to include us too. soon after.taemin is.in my view leaving.

I slip out from my hiding spot to see minho walking the other direction.
Feeling a little curious I followed him.

minhos pov
I make my way to my thinking spot. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing.
The tree I lay by faces the view of a slope leading to the stream thats flows by and across from that more of the woods that you get lost in your thoughts when looking contiunioisly at them.
again, i pull out the necklace and observe it.

I didnt sense I was followed, so I layed down comfortable, thinking...

So let me why someone like the class president has such a beautiful place to go to?

I stand right.up to see the intruder, beginning to ready myself for defence, but im surprised to see its sulli.

What are you doing here?
well obviously I only came to wonder if your.. fine..

She whispers the last part, but its still understandable. She looks to the group shifting from side to side like a nervous little kid.
Watching her she actually looked really...pretty.

Sullis pov
Watchung him stand across from me with the sun shining, he looked quite handsome *blush*
Aish sulli snap out of it.

Minhos pov

I kinda surprise myself when I tell her "you can join me over here if you want."

She looks.up and she guenuly smiles and her eyes light.up, she really id beautiful.

I lay back down and she comes and sits next to me. unlike other people her presence doesnt annoy me, but the complete opposite, its actually comforting... (aish what am I, saying ive just met the girl...)

What are you thinking about?
I stay quiet for awhile before answering: my (little sister).

you have a sister?

Ne, I do.

hmm, that must be nice.

Shes surprisingly easy to talk to, and I find myself opening up too her.
itsnice sometimes, since shes only.my half sister.

Half-sister? Sulli perks up as she hears half sister.

Yeah, my dad had a love affair and out came my sister.
Its nice having her around, but its still pretty hard for.her being the illigeinmate child of the choi group.

Sulli hugs her knees, I know.that feeling.
She buries half her face into her knees while looking beyond the woods.

Im curious of her statement, what do you mean?

what I mean is I know the struggle of your sister.

That angers me, what possibly could she know?!
And how possibly could you understand her? I may have said a little bit to coldly and annoyed.

Sulli doeant seem bothered or affected by it but plainly, because im also an illegimate child of.my.family.

Really?! All the anger and annoyance has left me feeling guilty and stupid.

Ne. I am lee hyun-woo's younger half sister. She turn to meet my gaze and gives a small painful smile that reaches her eyes, tell everything.

...mian-ah, I wasnt aware.

Anni, its ok, no one knows actually. That is no one except for those who i live with.

Subconsciously I get up and pull her into a hug.

Minho-ahh, what are you doing? she stutters a little.

Hoping I make you feel better, not that I sympathize you but I can tell your hurt.

Pshh, she playful pushes me off, speak for yourself. I may be an illegitimate child, but i'm my own person, but what about you?

The bells from the school begin to ring.

Well guess we better head back, she starts off before me.

But yet I can tell this is going to be one crazy roller coaster ride with sulli.
But her words stay ringing in my ears "I may be an illegitimate child, but i'm my own person, but what about you?"
