Chapter 5 - Remembering Times

Jun-lee went to Xi's room, where he looked pale and

emotionless, looking at the window. He looked at Xi, waiting for him to speak.

Jun-lee walked to take a seat, where he bought two Bud-Light cans. "Xi, can we

talk?", Jun-lee asked. Xi just stayed looking at the window, looking like shit.

Jun-lee looked at him, "I don't know what happened, but I know it was something

you wish never happened, and if that happened, I'm sorry for what happened.".

Xi looked at him, and looked back at the window. Xi took a can, and just looked

at the window. He was remembering when they first met.

1044 Years Ago

Xi was walking, looking at the sunset. He looked a lot more formal

than his high school. He had short, brown hair, brown eyes, no piercings and

tattoos. He was walking and saw a girl getting picked on by the boys. Xi

dropped his bags and ran, punching one in the face, and kicking one in the

chest. The two boys were on the floor, crying like babies. The last kid ran to hit

him, but he tripped and fell. The girl was crying her eyes off, but Xi gave her

a tissue pack. The girl looked at Xi and hugged him, while crying, thanking

him. Xi didn't know how to react, so he calmed her down. The girl calmed down,

and Xi agreed to take her home. The girl was none other than Xiuying. Xi walked

her home, while Xiuying was talking nonstop. Xi looked exhausted, but was happy

she got home safely. Xi walked to his home, and saw his dad sitting down,

smoking a cigarette and his mom with a golf club. Xi stripped himself and he

was in his underwear. He lied down on the floor, facing his back to his mom. His mom

asked, "Where were you?". Xi said he just went to eat. His mom looked at him

like dirt and started beating him with a golf club, but at that point, he

couldn't even feel the pain anymore, because his mom always beat him for no

reason. Xi just lied down, quietly, while she was beating him till he started

bleeding. His dad took his cigarette and burned his skin, but Xi couldn't feel

the pain anymore. The next day, he was walking home, and came to see Xiuying. Xiuying

and Xi spoke about what they want to do when they grow, which Xiuying said she

wants to cure cancer, but Xi said he has no idea what he wants to be, but as

long as he got paid. Xiuying laughed at him, because of how lame his answer

was. Xi smiled, looking at her cute face. That's when they got jumped by the

bullies. Xi and Xiuying woke up at a warehouse, looking at them. He saw that

they were tied to a chair. He saw Xiuying scared and afraid of what will

happen, but then, they had scissors and started cutting Xiuying's hair, making

it so short. She was a gyaru from China. Long red hair, eyes that are hazel

brown. They cut her hair and the long hair that reached her bellybutton,

reached her neck. Xiuying began crying to her hair crying. They took the

scissors and looked at Xi. They took his hand and started stabbing them for him

to bleed, making Xiuying to cry more, begging for them to stop. The first bully

looked at him not crying and not worried. Xi looked at him, "I can't feel pain.".

The kid started angering and went to Xiuying to do it to her, but Xi said stop,

but they laughed at him. That's when he started laughing at them and broke the

rope. The boys began running to him, but

he tripped one. The others stopped running and got back, looking at the risks.

The boy on the ground looked up to see a Xi holding a pair of scissors, seeing

his smirk. The boy began to worry, because he was the one who stabbed him

several times on his hand. Xi started playing "Eeny Meeny Miny Mo" with his

fingers, but looked at Xiuying still tied up in her chair watching this, so he

let him go, but getting punched in the face filled with no mercy. Xi and

Xiuying saw the night sky, realizing it's late. Xi walked Xiuying home, because

he could see them coming back. When they reached her home, they saw her mom

waiting for her outside. They saw her hand covered in blood of Xi. She said it

was Xi's blood, worried, because they stabbed him. Xi walked home, looking at

Xiuying walking inside, but as soon as they closed the door, her mom started

crying, because she told her, that her dad went missing. Xi looked pissed,

because they were bullying them, not the dad. He got home, but to his

terrifying surprise, he saw Xiuying's dad, with a drilled hole on the head, and

a dissected body, looking at his insides as well as the bodies of the bullies

as they all lied on tinfoil. Xi vomited at the site, looking at his mom in

surgical gear. He knew his mom worked with the Yakuza and the international

Mafias, but this was disgusting work on the floor. He didn't know what to say

to Xiuying, because he trusted him. The next day, he decided to not tell her,

because it would break her if he told her his parents murdered people, so he

just said he doesn't know you he is, because he loved her. Two Years Later, Xi and

Xiuying were 14 years old, basically best friends. Xi got well with Xiuying's

mom and siblings, basically their other son. He never got affection from them

and it really gave him a good heart for people. Xi gave her a piggyback ride,

because she was lazy to walk. Xi looked at her and said these words,

"I love you."

Xiuying got flustered and she got down. She smiled and gave

him a soft, flowering kiss, which Xi kissed back. As Xiuying was about to cross

the road and Xi was tying his shoes, all of a sudden, a car running at full

speed, hit her and the person who hit her was none other than Xi's dad. It was

said she went missing and probably died, because she had two weeks to live. Xi walked

to a store and bought gasoline. He walked home and said in a very childish voice,

"Mom, I'm home.". His mom walked out and had her golf club, that's when it

began. Xi ran to her and ripped her eyes out, where she scram in pain, that's when

he ripped out her voice box and her rib. And then, he stabbed her with her rib fifty-three

times. He broken her golf club and patiently for his dad. When his dad walked

in, he stabbed him to the point of losing count. Xi poured gasoline on the

house and on them and lifted it to flames. The police caught him, because he

gave in and he was sentenced to two years in solitary confinement. That's when

instead of being a gangster, he beat up gangsters, even in Korea, but they made

it up saying he's a gangster, because of the piercings and tattoos.

Present Day

Xi drank the can, looking pale, depressed and guilty. When

Jun-lee left, Xi walked to the field, where it was snowing and lied down,

crying and apologizing to Xiuying for not saying his family killed his dad.
