Heart Flakes: Enough Is Enough

Contract

Emy POV

" Ah, it's finally over. It's all done with Bryan's phone." I grabbed a flat object in my pocket after

I see all my stuff is neatly tucked away in cardboard boxes.

Tutt .... Tutt ...Tutt ...

" Hmmm ... Why didn't Bryan pick up the phone, huh? " this is the third time I've called Bryan, but it's still

there is no answer either.

'Ahh ... it's possible again on the road,’ I thought. I went back to check all the readiness for my assignment

by Bryan. After I thought everything was sorted out, I remembered Mike and Marie.

It's been a week since I submitted my resignation, Mike and Marie haven't contacted me. In fact, usually

they'll call every day and check on me.

But now, even when I met at the hospital, Mike seemed to not know me. When I called when

we met in the hospital hallway, not one bit he saw or greeted me back. I know, they're very

angry at my decision. I remember the health of my patient. Grandpa Kim only has time

about 1 year. If I can carve sweet memories of her before she leaves forever, then

I'll be happy to do it. After all, Grandpa Kim also promised to help the Cancer Foundation, too,

 what Kim's grandfather didn't know was the foundation I started to help people with cancer who couldn't.

How did Grandpa Kim suddenly want to help the little foundation? Because, I accidentally

mentioned it in front of Grandpa Kim when he asked me why I asked for an extension of time for 3 days to stay in Chicago. That is, because I have to take care of some of the cancer patients' pending payments.

" Well Emy, you help them first and then you can catch up with me and Man Ho to Korea. Oh yeah, about

late payment due to Hope's depleted funds, I promise I'll help them. Man Ho's

will transfer $100,000 first for now. Next, I will help them every month

if you're already in Korea. Yeah, count as compensation for one of their employees

grab .. he he he. "

I was surprised to not believe hearing that. So, my foundation really has a regular donor?

All this time, I financed my own foundation from my salary as a doctor here. Because of fashion company profits

I have budgeted for parents, brothers and also halfway houses and orphanages.

" Grandfather, is that really true? Grandpa's gonna help Hope? " Tanyaku. I think my eyes are getting blurry because of my tears

it seemed to have gathered there and was ready to drip freely on my cheek.

" Yes, honey. You don't have to work there from now on, yeah. After you finish your work at Hope, you go to Korea, okay? " Account Grandpa Kim with a smile.

I was so overwhelmed by the kindness of this grandfather I just met. I hugged Grandpa Kim tightly and I wet the niche

grandpa's neck with my tears.

" Hey! Already ... already .. Grandpa's neck is wet. " Gurkey grandpa. Grandpa let go of my embrace and patted

my head gently. Grandpa's warm smile pacified my heart.

Ah, if I remember that again, it is not in vain that I make this decision. Go to Korea, where Grandpa wants to

undergoing chemotherapy.

I understand grandfather's decision, he wants chemotherapy in Korea so that when he has to go, he won't

trouble his favorite grandson. If Grandpa is cared for here in Chicago, then his favorite grandson must be

take care of a lot of things. Besides, Grandpa Kim doesn't want to be away from his granddaughter.

I looked at the city of Chicago one last time before I entered the airport and checked in. Actually, my heart is heavy leaving this city. Many sweet memories that I carved in this city though new

I lived here for 1 year and 7 months.

It was Mike and Marie who set me up to stay in this town with them after that. Yes, the event that made me almost abandon my passion as a doctor. Ahh, I don't want to remember anymore ...

After 1.5 hours of waiting in the waiting room, I finally sat on the iron bird ready to take me

the Land of Ginseng.

Ooh, hmm .. so hot here .. ssh, it's July now, I'm mumbling.14 hours I'm above the clouds, and

finally now my feet can again trace on the land of the late King Sejong.

I took my suitcase and I put it in the troley because it was big and heavy making me unable to drag it

 by oneself.

Plus a medium size travel bag is also a backpack that is still attached to my back since getting off

that plane. I collected all my travel bags and backpacks on the treley to ease and lighten me

take out.

For a moment I saw the pickers at the exit. Haneulku (in Korean) is not so good. So, I

it has to be slow, if you have to read the kanji.

 I'm looking for my name there. And, ahh .. that's him there. I saw Mr. Man Ho standing with a paper reading "Emy

- Chicago".

I step my foot towards Man Ho. Oh, it turns out he didn't wear Haneul he he he ...

Ah, true. Mr. Man Ho doesn't know the Korean name my foster father gave me. I approached Mr. Man Ho, I spread

my smile towards him

But, I looked at the people on my left who made me look in shock at them. ' Yes, God. Again and again

these are ... '

I saw Mr. Man Ho smilingly showing his teeth, puffing his chest and raising his head to

the direction of those next to him. I don't know what Mr. Man Ho is thinking right now.

Mr. Man Ho immediately picked up the troley I pushed, and stood up straight again." Please, Young Miss ..."

Mr. Man Ho allowed me to walk ahead of him with the haughty attitude he made, like a bodyguard

The British Empire, which made me giggle.

We walked past the people who were looking at me with all sorts of expressions on their faces. I've been

get used to people's views when they see me.

But it was in Cambridge and Chicago, 2 cities where I grew up and worked. I'm in Incheon now.

Their eyes made me uncomfortable.

I even heard some people judge me. They're looking at me face and body Gang Nam aka face and body oplas.

Yeah, God. I just want to touch me like that. It seems, Mr. Man Ho is aware of my discomfort,

he turned his body and gave a sharp look towards those who were talking about me earlier.

Perhaps, out of fear of seeing Pak Man Ho's cruel lion-like gaze, they lowered their faces

and go.

I enjoyed my trip to Seoul. Ahh ... How long haven't I been back to Psy? Yes, I'm leaving

from this town when I was 9. My adoptive parents, Sie Jee Jung and Han In na, took me to the country

Uncle Sam, after they received notice from Harvard University, that their proposal was already

accepted, and asked them to take me for a test there. Ah, if it wasn't for my foster parents, maybe I ...

" Young Miss .. We've arrived." Said Mr. Man Ho. I saw a high gate in front guarded by 4 people

bodyguard.

The car that took us, walked slowly into the gate and after about 5 minutes traversed the asphalt road

a beautiful garden on the right and left. I can see European-style buildings with

the pillars are large and high, do not forget the beautiful fountain dancing in front of the palace.

'What an amazing thing,' what hotel, huh? It was incredible. ' Thought.

" Young Miss .. We have arrived. This is the residence of the Great Lord. Come, Miss. The Great Lord is waiting

inside," said Mr. Man Ho as if he understood what he was thinking.

I did not realize, it turns out that Mr. Man Ho has come down and opened the car door for me.

" Are you, this is Grandpa Kim's house? Wahhh ... It's beautiful, Mr. Man Ho, it's like a palace,” I'm amazed.

" Ha ha ha .. Yes, Miss. Therefore, the Great Lord is bored if he has to live alone here. Come, Miss. I interceded

go inside. "

Mr. Man Ho bowed, and directed one hand towards the main door while one hand was folded

clingy in his stomach.

" yeah, yeah. But, don't call me Young Miss, sir. Just call Emy, " said Emy softly and stepped into

main door.

Mr. Man Ho straightened his body back up and walked quickly ahead of me and slowed his pace

after he had led me. I just smiled and shook my head as I followed her.

I was really amazed to see this house. The castle-style interior in Europe is so thick inside this house.

Tables, frames, stair handles, chandeliers are all gold while the walls are bone white

and beige combined with a beautiful dark brown carpet. I don't think it's hot when I enter this house, though

it's summer now. 'Yes, surely the AC is always on in this mansion, ' I thought.

Drrt...

Ah, who called me? Oh, Marie? Did he really call me? I stopped my steps and I shifted

green button on my phone.

Before long, I was forced to hang up my phone because Mr. Man Ho seemed to come back to me after he had left me, oops .. to be exact, I suddenly stopped in the corridor

and Mr. Man Ho didn't realize it, so he left me alone in this hallway.

" Please, miss..." Mr. Man Ho let me into a room like a library.

There are so many books lined up neatly on the shelves - shelves that soar up to the ceiling of this house. Inexhaustible admiration I saw him until I did not realize my mouth gaping.

It's amazing that this house, if only I could have a room like this, full of books

this valuable. Well, happy me.

I slowly walked and held the book with my fingertips. My eyes are really lulled with

all these. Book oh book. I looked up, I saw hundreds of books lined up as if calling out to me.

I ran to the middle of the room and I stretched my hand, I closed my eyes imagining hugging

all books here. Ahhh .. I really want to ...

" Am .em. "

Ahh ... oh .. Who is it? I opened my eyes I saw my left right there was no one. Ah, is it just my hallucination, yes ...

" Ahem .ahem... " Slowly I turned my body and ...

" Aarrghhhh! " I was surprised to see Grandpa Kim and a young man sitting in the guest chair, which was behind me holding his teacup.

" Have you satisfied looking at my treasure, hmm? " Task grandpa while raising his eyebrows.

" Ah ... ah .. ha ha ha ha .. yes, Kek, already ... ha ha ha .. sorry .. ha ha ha ha ha ha,” I replied awkwardly.

" How long have they been there. Well, did I just do silly yeah,” my murmur.

" Ha ha ha .. Come on, come here. I know you like my treasures. They are my darling, you may

Ah, I'm so ashamed .. uh .. who is this man ... Oh, Lord, how nice ... haissh ... Emy take care of your image!

" Emy, sit here. " Said Grandpa and pointed to the seat to his right. The man still closed his eyes, not one bit to see me, cih .. so arrogant ...

" Tae Sang-a, this is Emy Sie I told you about." Grandpa said suddenly. I looked at Grandpa for a moment

then toward the handsome man sitting in the chair across the table in front of me.

Oh, so this is Tae Sang. I saw Tae Sang open his eyes slowly and then look at me. Oh, my God .. The glare in her eyes scares me.

I saw that he was silent and looked straight into my eyes. I was wrong, I forced my lips to

smiling at him but heavy.

I turned my eyes to Grandpa and I grabbed the cup of tea in front of me and sipped it. I saw grandpa

round his eyes, but I don't know why.

tok...

Mr. Man Ho entered while carrying a tray with a cup on it.

“ Miss, this is tea ... you..." The words of Mr. Man Ho faltered when he saw me and then looked at the tray he was carrying,

as if thinking then looking towards Grandpa and at the table.

I follow Man Ho's views. and ..yes, God ...

" Eh-eh .. ha ha ha ha .. sorry, Kek .. sorry. I thought this was a drink for me .. ha ha ha."

Immediately I put the cup in my hand on the table and slowly pushed it in front of my grandfather. I smiled awkwardly and took the cup in the tray that Man Ho brought and drank it.

Arghh ... arrgh .. hot ... hot ... I frantically searched for water, and grandfather gave me the cup I had

drink and then I'm up straight.

Oh, what a shame. Tae Sang suddenly stood up and left without a word.  I just stared and

saw him go. I turned my body to see grandfather, he just shrugged his shoulders while laughing.

" Emy, you better take a break. Man Ho will pick you up tomorrow. " Say Grandpa and laughed again.

 I don't know why I don't understand. I could only nod in guesses - thinking about what happened.

Mr. Man Ho drove me to my adoptive mother's house. I'm so happy to see this house, it still looks the same.

Beautiful and soothing. I opened the turnstile and Ahh ... These flowers are in bloom ...

" Miss ...your goods are at the door. Sorry, I have to leave immediately because of the Great Lord

need me. Excuse me, Miss Emy." Mr. Man Ho resigned his resignation and immediately turned around.

" Wait, sir!" my yelling.

" What's up, Miss?"

" Please, don't call me Miss, I'd rather be called Emy. And, this ..." I open my backpack and I hand it over

 medium-sized plastic bag to him.

" What is this, miss..." Ask Man Ho and turn back the plastic bag I gave him.

" Eitt ... Emy, Mr. Man Ho, not Miss. Then, it's for grandpa. Please, for grandfather to take this medicine. It's my concoction

alone, Sir. I'm worried because chemotherapy should have started today. Please give this first every

3 hours, huh? " me door.

" Oh, well, Miss uh Emy. I'm sorry."Pak Man Ho's car drove quickly, seemed to be in a hurry.

All right, I'm gonna go in first.

' Hmm .. What Ha Na is again working on, yes. But now it's home time. ' I've called friends' cell phones twice

 small but no answer.

and I will always love you ..o ...I will always ...

My phone screamed. I saw a flat object in my hand and oh, it turned out to be Ha Na.

" Hanaaa .. I missuu ..." Unknowingly I shouted on the phone.

" Yeah! Emy-a's... You want me to be deaf, right?? Watch out for you, yeah. You're far away from here. "

Ah, Ha Na hasn't changed. He's still as fierce as ever. But I still love him.

" Hehehe .. biyanata Hana-ssi (forgive me Hana) .. We meet yuk ... I miss Hana-ssiii..." Spoiled sahutku.

" Kyaa!. You're crazy, yes! Where do I get the money to buy tickets to Chicago, huh?! If you send me a ticket and

5-star hotel voucher, yes ... I'll think ..."

" Hey! Miss Matre! .. Can't you see my number right now, hmm?"

" Well, what happened to your number?. omoo .. omoo ... Emy-a are you .. Are you in Hangguk? That's hinting?"

Looks like Hana really saw my phone number just now

" Krom(alah/coral) ... You think I'm using a Korean phone number when I'm in Chicago? " my answer is relax

while opening the suitcase and looking for my favorite clothes, a gift from Ha Na when I was 17 years old"

" Sincaaa (really)?.. Yes! Meet me at 6 at Cafe Seonjae, okay? My boss called me. Remember that!

Cafe Seonjae at 6! I hung up on me, bye! " Without waiting for my answer, Ha Na went straight

disconnect the phone.

Fuhh ... Ha Na, still the old Ha Na ... Ahh .. pleased ... I have to get ready. It's 4 o'clock now.

I'll just get my clothes on later. I'll take Ha Na to stay here and help me settle down ...

Ha ha ha...

and I will always love you ....

My phone rang again, could he possibly cancel it? Huh, can't! I got my phone earlier

I just threw it in my bed and pressed the green button that appeared there without seeing the caller number.

" What else is it? I know 6 o'clock, okay? And there's no..."

" Hello, Doctor Emy? "I didn't finish speaking, the voice across cut off my voice that made me

I was shocked and saw whose number it was.

" Ah, yes .. sorry. Who is this with?" tanyaku carefully.

" It's Tae Sang. I'm waiting for you at Cafe Solace at 8 o'clock."

Tittes....

What??? He was on the phone and just shut it down?? That's so rude! Hufft .. I go forward on my lower lip and

 I breathed violently my breath out making my bangs-like hair a little stuck.

I went in the bathroom, brushed my teeth and combed my hair with a piece of it. I didn't polish my face with

make up. Just a moisturizer and a thin powder and then I rub my lips with a little lip tint. After I felt enough, I went and hailed a taxi to take me to the location of the Cafe that Ha Na had shared the location via

Cocoa.

I saw Ha Na sitting and sipping a drink in front of her as I got out of the taxi.  I can see it right away because the cafe is glass-walled. I went in and I took Ha Na's drink as she looked

exiting.

Ha Na looked up and saw me drinking her favorite coffee, "Yaaa...!! Ah, nanaeun chigo sipda-a (you want me to hit, huh)?" ha Na exclaimed as she thinned her lips and hardened her jaw

" Anyeo .. I asked for kiseu (kiss)," I replied and patted my cheek with my index finger

" Al-***-seo (fine) ..." Ha Na stood hugging and kissing me over and over again, then laughed together.

The people around us were staring strangely at the two of us. But, yes, it's just...

" Yes! .. Why don't you tell me that you're coming back, huh? I'll be able to pick you up! " Sizzle Hana

pissed off and squeezed out my hand that I put on the table when we were sitting.

" It's also a sudden ..." I answered casually, I called the waiter and ordered drinks and 2 favorite steaks

us both.

" But why? Yesterday I looked at Bibi at the sanatorium and she was in good health .." said Hana. Then I told you

 everything to Hana. In the past, there were no secrets between us.

" Wahh .. so soon you get married. So, I can be a Bride maid .. hmm ... What clothes do I wear? " Hana bit

her lower lip and propping her chin with one hand, her eyes looked up as if there were many

the choice of clothes up there.

" Ha ha ha .. We haven't talked there, dear Hana. Tomorrow I go back to Grandpa's house and it looks like tomorrow

we'll discuss that."

" Tell me, are they rich?"

" Hmm .. yes, they are rich .. their houses are like palaces ..."

" How much money are you given? A lot, a lot? " That's how Ha Na is, he is always excited when it comes to the precious paper.

" Hmm ... how much ..." I said.

beep.beep...

My alarm is sounding. It's time to meet the prince. Undeniably, I like handsome people, but for love .. hmm .. I don't know I'm still ready. I say goodbye to Ha Na and go to my next destination after Hana gives me a clue where Cafe Solace is.

" Hello, Kim Tae Sang-ssi..." My greeting towards the person who is already sitting sweetly in front of me.

He only glanced at me and told me to sit with his sharp eye code. I don't know what made me obey him. I sat down and gave my best smile. I wish he would be better at me.

" We'll go straight, Miss Sie... I know my grandfather likes you a lot, but not me. I'm willing

marry you because I want my Grandpa to be happy. But, before we get married, I want you to sign this letter ..." Tae Sang handed me a brown envelope and looked at me sharply.

I was really surprised by his attitude and his impassiveness. I took the chocolate envelope and I saw it

it is a marriage contract and divorce papers. I looked into Tae Sang's eyes and really wanted me to laugh. Ku

close my eyes and take a deep breath. I don't want emotions that end up slapping my mouth

this guy in front of me.

I pull the papers, I take them out and I put them on the table.

" That's a Marriage Contract Letter. First, we'll be married for 2 years. But, if before that my grandfather

died, then the contract letter was immediately null meaningless, we broke up without having to wait 2 years.

 Second, during marriage to each other no one should interfere with each other's privacy.

Third, after divorce you will not receive a penny from my property or Grandpa's legacy, other than

the monthly salary you receive for taking care of Grandpa.

Fourth, no one but Grandpa and the servant in Grandpa's house knows that we are married.  Are you

gotcha?" Tae Sang spelled out the contents of the contract letter firmly and glared his sharp eyes at me.

I just nodded at hearing it." All right, Young Master. I agree."

I signed the letters, even though it really hurt my heart. I accepted Grandpa's offer, because I made a promise to Grandpa. But, this attitude of Young Master one really hurts my heart.

" What is this, Young Master?" Manyaku flat. Without answering my question, Tae Sang just left without

looked at me. As he opened the door of the private room in this restaurant, he stopped and said,

" Don't tell me about our meeting today and these letters. If you dare to tell Grandpa, you will see the consequences! "

Brakk!!

Tae Sang slammed the door behind him and made my body jump a little. I don't feel a tear

flowing in my cheeks ... Ahh ... What is this? Why am I so crybaby? Emy .. You have chosen this. Remember, you accepted this marriage only for Grandpa .. not Tae Sang!
