Ignorance Is Bliss

Chapter 6

"Here eat some." Seonghwa said giving Minju a bowl of soup in bed.
Minju took the bowl and stared into it thinking about everything that had just happened.
"So your telling me that your my twin brother and my mom is not really my mom." Minju said at Mingi in disbelief.
"She was your bodyguard." Mingi told her.
"Wait so my whole life was a lie? Who am I?"
"I'm sorry it had to be this way." Mingi said.
"What way? Tell me everything!" Minju said angry.
"When we were born you almost died because you were so weak and sickly. Mom was always over protective of you no matter what. Being born into a dangerous family like ours in your condition was not easy. Dad always favored me over you because I was stronger and it was very unfair. Mom and dad always had fights over us that never ended well. On the night before our ninth birthday they had their biggest fight ever and you overheard it all and ran away. Mom was so worried that she went out herself to go find you. It was raining very hard and mom was trying to drive as fast as she could but lost control and hit a tree. She died instantly. Days later the police finally found you but you had no memory and our dad couldn't handle the lose of our mom and became mental." Mingi explained.
"Our dad is mentally unstable? Our mom died because of me? Its all my fault?" Minju said in tears.
"That's when our father gave up the gang and handed it over to his right hand man. We decided to keep you a secret and tell everyone you had passed away and sent you to live in America for your safety." Mingi said grabbing his sister to give her a hug.
"This is why I have to send you back now. I'll get you a new bodyguard and will continue to send you money." Mingi said.
"Send me back? No you cant! I have no one anymore, the woman who I thought was my mom is probably dead, my real mom is dead, and my dads in a mental hospital. How can I just go back and pretend nothing happened?" Minju said pushing her brother away.
"I will send you back whether you want to or not." Mingi said and with that he got up and left the room.
"Dont worry, He's only trying to protect you." Seonghwa said trying to touch Minju's arm.
She pulled away and snapped back. "I dont need your comfort!"
She quickly got up and ran into the bathroom to get away before she broke down into tears. Looking at herself in the mirror she finally realized what a mess she was. Her hair was in knots with dried blood in it. She had a bandage around her forehead and two bandages wrapped around her hands.
"I need to take a bath" She said to herself.
She ran some hot water and sat down in the tube to soak. The water felt so good on all of her sore bruises and she was finally able to relax. She became so relaxed that she fell asleep.
-Minju's dream-
Minju was eight years old dressed in a white martial arts uniform and was in what looked like a dojo arena. In front of her was Mingi also in a uniform and he was bowing and slowly holding up his fist ready to fight. A bell sounded and he moved closer towards her but he looked scared, he threw a punch but she dodged it quickly. She then threw a kick which knocked him over and she waited for him to get back up.
"I told you not to go easy on him just because he's your brother." Her dad yelled in the back.
"Oppa, I dont wanna hurt you." She said.
While she was caught off guard he kicked her and knocked her to the ground. He punched her several times before she was able to knock him off her. When she looked back at her brothers face now he saw someone different, he had a bloodlust look in his eyes now and was smiling. He came at her again but she blocked him and flipped him back onto the ground and once again waited for him to get back up. He came running towards her again but she tripped him and he fell back down. She waited on him again but this time she felt someone grab her arm and yank her to the side.
"I told you to not be so easy on him!" Her dad said. "And I told you not to be so weak! How can you call yourself a man!" He yelled and pulled a sword made out of wood off the wall.
He went over to Mingi and held it up to swing it at him but Minju ran in the way right before and was hit instead.
***********
"Ahhh!" Minju yelled waking up.
She had splashed water everywhere after having startled by her dream. What was that? She thought. That couldn't have been real. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and she heard Seonghwa's voice.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah I'm fine" She said remembering that she wasn't alone.
"Okay I left some clothes outside the door for you and I'm gonna go out so you can change." He said.
Why do I keep dreaming about the past? It obviously cant be real because it doesn't match what Mingi said.
