Chapter 8 - The Birth Of Nyx 1

Aaah!!" Sun-Hee screamed angrily

"What's suddenly gotten into that ugly girl" She said with gritted teeth

Sung-Ho clenched his fists tightly as he turned to Sun-Hee

"Could you keep quiet for once" Sung-Ho said angrily

"Why am I the one you're shouting at?" Sun-Hee demanded, anger rising. "When your daughter disrespected me, you said nothing a....."

"I'm going back upstairs" Sung-Ho said indifferently, cutting Sun-Hee off

"You... You better come back here before I really get angry" Sun-Hee shouted, pointing her finger at Sung-Ho

Sung-Ho ignored her as she continued ranting behind him, later disappearing from her view

Sun-Hee clenched her fists tightly

"Mom, mom" Bo-Na called softly as she walked towards Sun-Hee

"Yes darling" Sun-Hee said as she turned, a soft smile gracing her lips

"What.... what did Nari mean by what she said" Bo-Na asked, her voice trembling

"Ignore her. She's bluffing… she wouldn't dare do a thing to you" Mom said, her face twisted in disgust

But the disgust was for Nari

Bo-Na smiled, her face full of relief

"Ok mom, I trust you....., but what's up with her, she's never behaved like this before" Bo-Na said, curiosity dripping from her voice

"I don't what suddenly got into that slut but don't worry..., mom's gonna handle her" Sun-Hee said coldly, gritting her teeth

"Ok mom, I love you so much" Bo-Na said as she giggled, hugging Sun-Hee

Outside

As I exited, I was met with tightly packed houses, the outline of mountains standing quietly in the distance.

"The heck, Where's this garbage dump" I muttered to myself as I scanned the surroundings

"Oh, Nari, you're already awake"

A voice cut through my thoughts as I turned to see an elderly woman with a frail body and brown hair framing her face

I sifted through the fragments of memory in my mind, searching for her name.

According to the images, her name was Seo Jung-Sook

"Aunty Jung" I greeted casually as I gazed into her brown aged eyes

"Oh, my child, it's been so hard on you this days...., when did you wake up" Jung-Sook asked as she stretched her frail hands towards me

I glanced at her coldly as I moved backwards almost instantly

Jung-Sook looked at me in surprise, then her eyes met my cold gaze

My eyes instantly flashed, restoring back it's gentle look

Jung-Sook looked at me in suspicion, almost as if she didn't know if what she saw was real or not

I scoffed softly as I smiled at her

"Sorry auntie, I just recovered but there might still be some remnants of the illness..., so I had to avoid your hand so that you won't catch it" I said softly

Jung-Sook eyes flashed with realization

"Oh my child, it doesn't matter, you know I don't care about those things...., but if you insist" Jung-Sook said as she dropped her outstretched hands down

I just stood staring at her

"But I hope you're better now, cuz we all know your parents won't buy you any drugs..., we're just so happy that you made it" Jung-Sook said as she gazed at me softly

"Thanks for your care aunty, I'm getting better" I said indifferently

I glanced around then returned my gaze back to her smiling face

"Aunty Jung, I have something to do so I will be going now" i said with a fake smile on my face as I turned around

Suddenly her aged voice pierced the air

"When you're back, come and visit my house, Min-Gyu has been worried about you" Jung-Sook said

I stopped dead in my tracks and whirled around

"Who's that?' I asked, the words slipping out uncontrollably.
