Crash... Everything went blank and I fell unconscious.
I woke up feeling a throbbing pain in my head. "Ah. What happened?" I whined, my head hurting like hell.
"Oh, you're awake," a sarcastic female voice rang in my ear. It sounded familiar. I looked up, and a hard slap hit my face.
"Have you forgotten what I taught you?" she said in a cold but low voice.
"You vixen, how dare you raise your hands on my son!" my Stepmom, Jiang (지앙), scolded from the doorway.
"Scoffs... Your son? I gave birth to him, how did he become your son?" the so-called mother of mine sarcastically retorted. Jiang (지앙) rushed to me and hugged me while I sobbed into her warm embrace.
"Mother, take me away from this evil woman," I whispered.
"Did she hurt you, dear?" Jiang (지앙) asked, patting my hair, and I just nodded like a skunk.
"You bitch, I'll send you to an early grave if you dare touch my son again," Jiang (지앙) threatened, forcefully pressing my mom's cheeks.
"Ah!" my mom cried out in pain.
"Darling," Old Woo called as he entered the room. Jiang (지앙) immediately let go of my mom and hugged me tight, kissing my hair and stroking it with care.
"Just take this witch away from my son, honey," Jiang (지앙) said.
"How could you take me away from my son?" my so-called mother snapped.
"You bitch, you call him your son, but you planned for his accident! You tried to kill Kim, but thank God he is safe!" Jiang (지앙) yelled, breaking down in tears. That was when I remembered that I had an accident, and the pain in my head intensified.
"Mom, it hurts!" I cried, tugging at Jiang's (지앙) gown.
"My son, be patient, okay? I'll go get the nurse," she said, gently laying me back on the bed. "I said to throw this bitch out, honey, but it seems you can't. And I won't let her hurt my son any further," Jiang (지앙) declared, then dragged my mom out with her.
The nurse checked me and performed all necessary procedures, and I was given an IV drip. Jiang (지앙) brought me a bowl of soup and some shrimp. "The doctor said you should have soup, but I brought you shrimps, okay?" she said as she unboxed the food flask. Wow, it was then I realized I was starving.
Bang! The door was banged open, and a feminine figure flew in and hugged me, kissing my whole face as if her life depended on it.
"You... you idiot... sobs... why did you recklessly drive... you scared the soul out of me. You have been in a coma for two weeks! Please don't do that to me again!" she cried.
"Yoongi (윤기), can't you see he's injured? First, let him eat, then you can talk," Jiang (지앙) interjected, and then Yoongi (윤기) let me go. After eating, I rested a bit, and then the nurse came in.
"The doctor said you can go home after this IV drip has finished," the pretty nurse said.
"Well, it's almost finished," I said with a wink, and it made her blush.
"Fine," she said, helping me adjust the drip to finish faster.
At Home
I sat in my room, thinking about what my mom said to me at the hospital. She was so mean; I just woke up and got a slap. Wow, that was... something. I would have to take my revenge, and soon.
Two Months Later – At School
After a week following my accident, I was able to walk around freely because I had only a minor head injury. But Yohan (요한) was absent. Well, who cares... but I hadn't seen him since the day Yoona (윤아) kissed me in front of the whole school. Oh, if he started skipping classes, then that's good for him, because I don't care. Does he think I'll go beg him? Argh, to hell with him, I DON'T CARE!
I entered my class and sat at my normal position while Yoona (윤아) was waiting for me to sit. But then, thud... A hand slammed on my desk, startling me, and I hit my back on the wall.
"You bitch, I'm gonna make your life miserable!" a tough girl said as she pinned me on the wall. "You rich people are always too proud. I've been observing you for the past two months. You come to school like a saint. What did my brother do to you that you can't even pay him a visit and—"
Slap! A hard slap landed on her cheek. It was then that I looked up, and oh, "Yoona (윤아)! How dare you threaten my boyfriend like that?" Yoona (윤아) demanded.
"How dare you raise your hand on me?" the lady, Jisoo (지수), asked in disbelief.
"Oh damn you, bitch. I did it to defend my man because he doesn't hit girls. So I do it for him!" Yoona (윤아) proudly declared.
"What's going on here?" a feminine voice rang with authority.
"Oh, hello, Mrs. This bitch here bullied my man, so I came to teach her some manners," Yoona (윤아) said as she pulled me into an embrace.
"Talk properly, Miss," the teacher scolded, but no, Yoongi (윤기) did what she wanted, and no one scolded her for it, so f-ck the teacher.
"Well, I can see you should know how to talk to a daughter of the Woo family," she said casually.
"Oh, Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't know," the teacher said, trembling.
"Jisoo (지수), please apologize," the teacher asked the lady who bullied me.
"Why? He hit my brother on his way to work, and he didn't even try to say sorry," Jisoo (지수) broke down in tears.
"Excuse you, I was the victim! I was in a coma for two weeks!" I said in a tiny voice as I rested my head on Yoona's (윤아) shoulder.
"Oh, really? My brother was crossing the road, and you violated the traffic and hit my brother! But because you are rich, you paid for everything and even threw money at my parents!" she sobbed. My heart was aching. They had to go through this because of me.
"Hey, don't blame me like that, okay? When I asked about the victim, I was told that it was a set-up, so I didn't bother," I said like a baby who was being wrongly accused.
"Kim, you don't have to explain anything to anyone," Yoona (윤아) said, pecking my forehead. She always made me feel safe.
"How could it be a set-up? My brother could never put his life in danger knowingly!" Jisoo (지수) cried.
"Well, he was also set up by Su-lin (수린), his real mother!" Yoona (윤아) declared. Everyone was surprised, and some people began to gossip: 'How could a mother do that to her own child?' 'She's not a real mother!' 'Some people are blinded by money!'
"Y'all should shut the f-ck up!" Yoona (윤아) yelled, and silence fell. Every being shut their mouth.
