THE CURSED ONE - THE BOY WHO CHALLENGE DESTINY

Sad Ending - 1

The morning sun had risen high enough to warm anyone's body, rumors about the arrestment of the theft perpetrator spread rapidly among the students like a fire burning rags. Every student coordinator in their respective dormitories had announced that today the sect leader would make a speech to announce an important thing in the main square of the sect. Although it was not explained in detail in the announcement, all the students already knew if the thing that was going to be announced by the sect leader was about the arrest of the thief in the yellow hall who had been caught last night.

Almost all students are uproar with this news, except for Hyul and his g**g. They're all unsurprised even soaked in excitement to the point that Hyul decided to party all night long inside Eral, Cha, and Gwang’s dorm room. No, any dormitories coordinator dared to forbid them, apart from the influence of Hyul's family, as well because they had already been given the hush money by Hyul.

Hyul and his g**g were not alone in staying up last night, another child also has not slept all night long and he was Jin, the accused of theft. All night long he couldn't sleep thinking about his fate, what will happen to him later? Where should he go? And many other unanswered questions raging inside his mind. Sometimes in his heart, he wondered why fate was so cruel to him? His wish was not grandiose as he just wants to live a normal life like other kids, is that a wrong wish? He could not answer the question himself.

Jin is sitting on the floor in the corner of the prison and he is not sleepy at all even though he hadn't slept all night long with his mind is traveling far away regretting his miserable life. A young girl running down the prison hallway towards his cell, she is Youra.

"Jin, why is this?" Youra spoke while holding her tears back.

"Miss Youra, why are you here?" Jin answered helplessly.

"Tell me, Jin, tell me everything, I didn't believe if you did the theft and I'll try to help you get out of here." Youra was curious about what happened last night and he also wants to save Jin from the sect's punishment.

At first, Jin felt hopeless and lost hope, but when seeing and hearing Youra’s spirit, he tried to grow his despair back by telling all that has happened to him from yesterday morning when he met Cha and Eral, until last night when he was dragged inside prison by Dan and Seok San. Jin tells everything that he remembered without missing a single thing with Youra listening carefully to the story.

"How insolent they are, I have smelled their bad intention to you when they insulted you in front of me that time. Don’t worry, Jin, I believe in your story even though you don't have any evidence. You need to calm yourself, I will try to talk to my father, hope you can get any justice." Youra's words made Jin excited again as he still wants to live in this sect, still wants to help Jung Kook and the most thing that he wants was to be able to chat and joke with Youra again just like yesterday. But suddenly he remembered Eral’s words about his position.

"Miss Youra, I do very happy that you wanted to help me, but I'm afraid if you will get into trouble for helping me. Don’t burden yourself, I will accept my destiny." Jin worried about Youra's position as the daughter of the sect Headmaster, he thought if the news spreads that Youra was helping him, her family's reputation and good name could be tarnished.

"Don't think about me, just think about yourself. Your position is more difficult than mine now. Actually, I'm not sure I'll succeed to convince my father but I'll try as long as you don't lose your hope, Jin," Youra tried to encourage Jin with his words, "ah, I forgot if I brought you some foods, I'm sure you haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning, right? Here eat this, you look bad you know. You need to keep your spirit, Jin, just like before. Jin who I knew was never afraid to face any enemy even though his body was beaten mercilessly." Jin was a little surprised because the moment when Jin saved her from the kidnapper long ago turned out to be a strong impression inside Youra's memory. "All right, I'll go first, don't forget to finish your meal." Youra stands up and gave a smile before he ran towards the exit, Jin felt that was the sweetest and most beautiful smile he had ever seen in his life, his heart blossomed immediately.

Youra runs towards her home to meet his father, she knew if his father was going to make an announcement about this incident in the sect main square sooner, and she wanted to prevent it before it was too late.

"Eomma ... where is Appa?" Youra asked her mother right after she arrived at her home.

Her mother was watering the flowers on the lawn when Youra’s arrived, "Your father is inside, what's wrong? Why are you running? Why does your face look so serious?" her mother asked her many things, as usual. Her mother was the one who worried about him the most and was always fussy with many questions for her.

"Sorry Eomma, this is not the right time to answer it, I have to see Appa soon." Youra immediately ran into the house leaving his confused mother. Out of curiosity, his mother followed him into the house.

"Abeoji ... may I speak for a moment?" Youra said from outside her father's room, Ja Som Fa.

"Wait for a while, I still preparing myself for this morning's speech." Ja Som Fa answered.

"This is very important, I have to talk to you right now, Abeoji." Youra begged her father, and this made her father opened the door to meet him.

"What's the matter? What was more important than my speech?" Ja Som Fa is curious about Youra's strange behavior.

"Thank you, Abeoji, let's sit in the front room first while talking, I'll make hot tea for you?" Youra took his father's hand and asked him to sit in a chair, while he went to the kitchen to prepare hot tea.

Ja Som Fa is even more confused because Youra is behaving so strangely today because she never wanted to go to the kitchen before but now she wants to make hot tea by herself. When he was amazed by his daughter, his wife, Youha, was there by his side.

"Did you see your daughter's strange behavior? What's wrong with her today?" Ja Som Fa asked Youha.

"I do not know, earlier he came home running and immediately looking for you, dear, her face looks very serious." Youha was also confused by the behavior of her daughter.

Youra has come back with a warm cup of tea in his hand, she put the tea in front of her father who looked at him in confusion.

"I'm sorry eomma, I don't know if you would come inside, I only made one cup of tea." Youra said sweetly to his parents.

Ja Som Fa and Youha stared at each other, they feel astonished by the sudden change in the attitude of their daughter.

"Youra, what's wrong with you?" Youha was worried about Youra's strange behavior while Ja Som Fa keep his cool head and drank the tea which Youra had prepared for him.

"Hmm... this is a good tea, delicious one. looks like our daughter is now ready to serve a husband." Ja Som Fa said with a smile on his face as he was just kidding her.

"That’s not funny, Abeoji." Youra grumbled because of her father's words, her mother only smiled at her husband's nosiness.

"Then what made you suddenly change like this? Do you want me to test my future son-in-law? Where is he? Send him here. I will test on how great his abilities are, I've set up a high passing grade for my son-in-law." Seeing her daughter grumbling only made his father even more excited about teasing her.

 "If you keep on saying that, Abeoji, I'd better just go, huh..." Youra getting angry because she feels that her father keeps harassing her. His father can’t help but laughed at Youra's answer, "Hahaha ... you are funny, Youra, Okay, I’ll give up, now tell me what you want from your father?" finally his father wanted to listen to Youra's request.

"Before, you must promise that you will not angry at my request, Abeoji." Ja Som Fa glanced again at Youha because Youra was even made a stranger request. "Okay, hurry up and say what you want, I will soon have to make a speech in front of the crowd, I don't want to make them wait for too long." Ja Som Fa pressured Youra to tell her stories right away and not to ramble on.

"Yes, that is what I want, Abeoji, that you don't have to make a speech." Youra began to express his wish boldly.

"I don't know what you mean, Youra, why you asked me to call off the speech? If you don't know, I will announce some important issue about the theft in my speech and I must announce this so that there will no uproar in the sect." Ja Som Fa tried to explain to Youra.

"I know, Abeoji, but can you do one more investigation? I believe that the sect has caught the wrong person." Youra made her goal clearer.

"Caught the wrong person? What do you mean?" Ja Som Fa was even more confused by Youra's words, but not with Youha.

Youha began to catch what her daughter, Youra, meant to be. She had heard the story from Youra about the kid who saved her from the kidnapper, and now that kid was being accused as a perpetrator in a theft case. Youha concluded that Youra was trying to help the kid who now was being detained, but she remains silent and wait for Youra to tells it by herself to her father.

Youra was a bold girl, she directly asks her father to release Jin from the prison and she gives her father all the reasons that she had. Ja Som Fa was shocked after heard Youra's request moreover after he knew that the one who was caught last night was the one who had saved her daughter from the kidnapper a few weeks ago, but he doesn't say any words until Youra finished her words.
