Lika - Liku Asmara Aldo - Thea

Save Thea, Aldo!

Don't wonder. Don't be surprised to also see the Kim family's habits at the end of the year. They are followers of Christ. The family is now a third generation Christian. Despite this, though, christianity did not prevent them from continuing to visit Bongeunsa temple located in a district popularized by a wide-bodied person named Park Jae-sang who is a songwriter and singer. 

For them, a visit to the historic temple is like an ancestral tradition that must be maintained. Isn't there nothing wrong with honoring ancestors through praying for them? This tradition is not strange either. Far across the East China Sea, and across much of the Pacific Ocean, many oriental-looking families still maintain the tradition of temples, although they are no longer Buddhists or Confucians. A visit to a temple or temple is not a religious obligation, but only to maintain tradition.

Kim Sarang greatly admired this temple. When he was a child, he was always excited when his Appa and Eomma invited him to visit Bongeunsa. For him this temple has always been the best among the temples in Seoul. Oh no, probably the best on the Korean Peninsula. Every time he saw the giant Buddha statue, his thoughts always burst out. He dreamed of being able to go up to the head and see the view of Gangnam district which is full of high-rise buildings. 

Ah... The Buddha statue... 

From head to toe, Kim Sarang's eyes continued to sway the statue. His mind just idly said, about the Buddha was daydreaming what is it? Could it be that he complained about the scenery of Gangnam district that was already one hundred and eighty degrees different from the scenery in Joseon era? Perhaps also the Buddha tired of seeing a series of skyscrapers. I'm also tired of seeing the high-rise buildings. Fortunately, this temple is surrounded by green trees.

"Eonnie!!!" choke Kim Min-soo from the inside of the temple, standing at one of its entrances. Her sister was so noisy. Did he not realize he was in a place of worship? 

"What's in there? Pali, let's get in!" 

Kim Sarang smiled as he shook his head. In the midst of all the grins, the woman hastened her pace. Basic Succhan! He snorted sebal. 

"Not to scream at everything. It's in the temple, Succhan - "His sister is glaring sharply, bending her lips. " - You can walk up to me. And why look at me like that?"

"Eonni, I told you, don't call me that anymore" said Kim Min-soo. 

Kim Sarang chuckled. His sister added sewot.

"Oh well, Min-soo-ssi, I think it's time our parents knew the truth" Kim Sarang said in a voice as slow as possible. It may be more like a whisper than a speech. "Definitely there, Nami was hoping for the same. Our sister would want no secrets in our family either."

Kim Min-soo exhaled. He stared at the fiery red lanterns, which almost covered the ceiling of the temple. He still did not answer, although the brother continued to lean on him with the question "How?", until he and his brother were near both parents and Kim Daebu who was solemnly praying in front of Kim Nami's ashes. 

"Hey, Succhan," sis Kim Sarang. "Why didn't you answer my question? Is it hard to admit that anyway? Most consequently, you will be lectured for hours, both by Appa and Eomma. It's also possible that your allowance will be cut, and you'll have to start busy looking for part-time work."

Just as Kim Min-soo is about to chim in, Song Chee-hul turns around and hisses towards the two brothers, "So-eum-i eobseo! Pray for Nami."

A moment ago, Audrey frowned. The forehead of the slightly flattened girl has multiplied since a blue taxi landed in front of the house. Five minutes later, the brother who likes to prank him out while carrying a backpack and dragging a suitcase.

"Gue didn't go to Japan, Di," At Audi. Audi is a call from Audrey, both indoors and outdoors. 

"Can't you?" 

Aldo did not answer. He rolled his eyeballs, played his lips, and sighed. Confused about that man, should he be answered? He was afraid that his brother would laugh at him. But finally he chose to immediately publish the question, "The story is long, I'm telling a story well. Now I'm going to sleep first."

"Oh yeah, Bang," said Audrey, after her brother had gotten a little away from her. "So an hour ago, before Bang Aldo came, Brother Thea called. He asked if Bang Aldo had left or not. He should have known that Bang Aldo had left a week ago. Strange as hell."

Aldo flinching, sculpting. For a moment, he walked quickly to the room. No matter the taste of jet lag, also ignored the burden of backpacks and suitcases. Just put the suitcase and backpack near the door of the room. In a hurry he took the keys of his sports bike that he stored in a drawer. 

Audrey was astonished to see the brother who was so overwhelmed - like tireless.  Hearing the information about Thea alone, the brother even became complacent. His brother was like he could feel there was something strange that his secret lover was experiencing.

"Where else are you going?" said Audrey, who is now sitting on a couch reading a teen magazine. 

"You go to Thea's house. Well, I'm leaving first." said Aldo, who just raced straight to the garage. Not the garage, but the terrace near the garage. There, a light green sport bike parked. 

Aldo slowly pulled out his motorbike to get out of the house. After that, he jumped up on his seat and roared his engine before himself and the bike that was the sweet seventeen prize drove as far as possible to the residence of Alethea Anastasia. 

While still at home, Aldo had a glance at the clock. The clock is at half-five in the afternoon. He hopes Thea is still home. Hopefully today is not the schedule of women performing in the theater. If so, hopefully still at home. Because according to Audrey's information, Thea called her an hour ago. The possibility of Thea still being in the house was quite large. Hopefully he can meet with his girlfriend since High School. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully. 

And... What is this feeling? Is his heart and Thea's heart intertwined? So like a twin, he could feel Thea being in a very deep worry. His feelings just became so.
