summary: I could never hurt the one I love, She’s all I’ve got. But she’s so vulnerable
A/N: I really loved this song.. the original story took a 360o turn so it ended like this
Everywhere I look I see her smile
Her absent-minded eyes
It may have been chance, it may have been something else but one thing is sure, He made this decision by himself.
Kangin sat in a chair outside a café, with lighted cigarette and cold coffee. He was waiting for someone, a business partner. His face was cold and expressionless when a person sat across him and placed an envelope on top of the table.
“orders..”
Kangin nodded without so much as looking at the person and the man left without another word. Kangin smiled half heartedly as he open the envelope to reveal a picture and some instructions. His smile faded as he replaced the contents back inside the folder and left the café.
Kangin changed his clothes and went straight to attend his class.
In this University, Kangin is famous for his temper and attitude; no one wants to mess with him, not even the professors.. not even the directors..
And so he sat and listened to the lecture as his mind wanders only to be interrupted by a laugh that comes from outside the room; a group of girls were passing by. Leeteuk was trailing at the back, weakly smiling back at the unni’s, her eyes had no light and Kangin can sense that she has been the center of all jokes and anything annoying.
Kangin sighed as the professor throws in a question for him.
“would you mind answering the problem on the board, Mr. Kim?”
Kangin stood up and smirked at the professor who was surprisingly not afraid of the infamous Kangin. Siwon, who was their professor was a strict and was the only one not scared by the ferocious bear. Why would he be?!
Kangin answered the problem without breaking a sweat, for he is not stupid or dumb. In fact he is surprisingly smart.
“Very well.. I guess you were listening. Now moving on”
After classes, Kangin has his job to keep, and that job is what makes him a campus terror.
“ready?!?!”
“talking to me?”
Kangin was his usual self and Siwon just smiled, he knows too well that this is Kangin’s way of showing his respect. As his uncle, Siwon knew how hard Kangin worked to reach this far; all the blood, sweat and tears he shed.
They drove to a certain pub where cigarette smoke is the air that they breathe and naked ladies become martini and vodka glasses. This was his job… as an underground subordinate, he was assigned to collect the goods and look out for Siwon as they make transactions.
“What do you want?!”
The boss spat at the two as he push of the naked girl off of him
“you know the drill Yunho..”
“know what?”
“I came to collect mistress’ money..”
“hell that bitch!”
“a divorce settlement isn’t cheap you know that..”
“I’ll shell out no penny..”
“it’s your choice..”
Siwon glanced at his cousin who just nodded.
“oh.. so you brought along a wimp..”
Yunho was obviously teasing Kangin wwho just stood there silently.
“Let’s see what you got, beat down my men and you get a hundred thousand per head.”
“that’s a deal”
Siwon stepped aside and Yunho sat in his chair and motioned for his men; they were huge and mascular. Kangin stepped in the middle and motioned for them to attack, and they did. Kangin didged and mugged and kicked and at the end of it all, he still stood in the middle, sweat dripping down his face, but remained untouched; no bruise or mark in sight.
“eleven.. I expect the check..”
Siwon smirked, Yunho was very pissed as he wrote the amount and handed the check.
“pleasure doing business with you”
The two left and Yunho was furious and kicked his men lying on the floor, beaten and bruised.
“well done.. a reward..”
Heechul mistress was very pleased with the work as he handed Siwon and Kangin each fifty thousand checks.
“oh well I only need the million anyway.. you did great Kangin.. I like you a lot..”
The mistress winked at the young kid as she enters her chamber followed by her Chinese boy toy.
And she has kept me wondering for so long
How this thing could go wrong
And so another job done, Kangin sat on his bed and sighed. Siwon patted him on the back.
“you know you can always back out before it’s too late.. Mistress Heechul is a little possessive.. before you know it, you can’t escape..”
Siwon was comforting the nephew.
“I know.. and you can’t escape her..”
“it’s not about the money Kangin.. you know I want more than that..”
“yeah.. her..”
Siwon sighed as he left the room, leaving his nephew to ponder, if this is what he really want to do with his life.
It was his decision to come to Seoul despite the warning and disapproval of his parents. Siwon took him in and gave him everything, but he felt indebted and so he worked for him.
It started that way, until he saw mistress’ daughter, Leeteuk.
He knew it’l be impossible, but he knew it wasn’t wrong. And so he continued to work there, hoping that everytime he was there, he will be able to get a glimpse of the daughter who stole his heart. And yet he knew, that he’ll only end up like his uncle, so close to mistress but can never hold her with lover’s arms.
“yeah.. you can only hope.”
It seems to me that we are both the same
Playing the same game.
It is just a game they play: Life is a game.. a chance, an opportunity.. it is based on strategy.
Kangin chose to be with Mistress Heechul to get closer to leeteuk; yunho was desperately trying to get him to his side for years and still unsuccessful till now.
“oppa, you seem so tired working for umma..”
Kangin was surprised as a fragile Leeteuk smiled at him and handed a glass of cold pineapple juice.
“uhmm.. not exactly..”
“don’t lie to me…”
Leeteuk pouted as she sat beside Kangin.
“you’re always asleep on your classes and you rarely eat lunch for you have to do a lot of stuff..”
“what.. how’d you..”
“you may never notice but we belong to the same class.. each and every class except that of Siwon’s class..”
“oh.. really..”
Kangin lied. He was obviously there in her class to watch over her, it was mistress’s instructions.
“I want you to watch over my daughter, Yunho will try to get her from me.. and use her against me..”
KAngin recalls the specific orders and the picture that was handed to him. and this was the reason Yunho can’t get KAngin, for Heechul made sure Kangin can’t refuse her orders.
“What’s your real name oppa?”
“huh?!?!?”
“I know Kangin was the name umma gave you..”
“It’s youngwoon..”
“such a lovely name..”
Somehow a smile found its way into Kangin’s face as he hears Leeteuk chuckle.
But as darkness falls this true love falls apart
into a riddle of her heart
But Kangin know too well, that each night he’ll receive some orders and would accompany Siwon somewhere. He would leave the angel he was asked to look after. HE would beat some poor guy’s ass and Siwon would happily hand his mistress the goods.
All this time, he would wish that somehow he could find a way into his angel’s heart. But he knows that this will not happen… each day that passes, his heart loses a piece.
He find no repose and stirred in his sleep. HE would wake up with clouds above his bed but the sun will shine once he takes a seat at the back of the class; to do nothing but stare at the angel.
But this particular day wasn’t the usual routine, he was surprised to see Leeteuk waiting for him outside the room.
“oh.. good you’re here.. let’s go in..”
Leeteuk pulled Kangin inside and they sat in front. The class was silent as they watch the angel push down the bear into his seat and sat beside him. even the professor was surprised and asked
“are you two together?!?!”
Leeteuk blushed as Kangin shook his head.
“oh.. ok.. let’s start the lesson…”
She’s so vulnerable, like china in my hands
Kangin learned that Leeteuk was as fragile as a delicate China; she was a blue baby, and her heart cannot take any hard news for the matter. She almost died when her parents got divorced as she kept all the emotions in.
“you won’t leave me right?”
“what?”
Kangin was surprised.
“you won’t leave me like what appa did..”
“oh.. I work for mistress, it’s my job to go wherever she wants me to go..”
“oh.. I see.. “
Leeteuk was crestfallen and was teary eyed as she ran to her room and locked the doors. KAngin followed her and knocked on the doors.
“I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to hurt you.. I.. I..”
He stopped knocking as Leeteuk opened the door and hugged the bear.
“I know you won’t leave me.. Regardless where umma wants you to go.. you’ll return.. you’ll come back for me..”
“I will.. I promise..”
Kangin embraced the angel who was crying in his shoulders. Siwon was stepping out of the mistress’s room when he saw his nephew and the mistress’s daughter; he felt something is bound to happen.. he fears it.
She’s so vulnerable, and I don’t understand
Every night, Leeteuk will wait by her bedroom window and gaze out to the night. She will wait patiently until a familiar car park in front of the house.
“I see.. he’s getting stubborn now.. anyway, Kangin I want you to do something for me..”
“yes mistress..”
KAngin gloomily walked down the hall with Siwon when Leeteuk stopped them. Kangin looked at his uncle who nodded, Leeteuk smiled.
“ I made this for you.. it’s my first time doing this.. but it’s almost winter so it’s getting really cold..”
Leeteuk shyly handed him a green and white scarf and Kangin meekly smiled.
“thank you..”
Leeteuk blushed and went back to her room very happy and satisfied.
KAngin held the scarf close to his heart and muttered I’m sorry before walking out of the house and into the car waiting for him.
It was cold the next morning but Leeteuk was very excited to go to class, she wore a similar scarf and matching bonnet. She checked herself twice and when satisfied with her looks, she boarded her car.
She expected Kangin to wear the scarf today but contrary, no Kangin appeared for the rest of the day; he was absent for the rest of the week. Leeteuk was pretty sad and worried, she asked Siwon about it.
“oh.. I thought he told you last time.. he got assigned in Incheon”
“what.. he what..”
“mistress’s orders.. I’m sorry.”
Leeteuk was mad and furious but most of all, she was upset, KAngin promised he will never leave.. he will return for her..
“umma.. why would you assign kangin in a place far from Seoul! And he’s just a kid.. what if something happens to him?”
“he’s my little toy and you can’t fall for my toys, they belong to me.. besides.. I did not raise you to fall for one of my minions.. “
“this is unfair.. I should’ve stayed with appa..”
Leeteuk stormed out of the house and ran away from her mom and that place. She knew where to go and a car was waiting outside for her.
“hello dear, you may not know me..”
“you’re Jaejoong, Appa’s mistress.”
“oh, so you do know me… your Appa would like to talk to you..”
Leeteuk entered the car and it started on its way; Heechul was more than happy to see the car drove off
I could never hurt the one I love
She’s all I’ve got
Kangin silently sat on the house provided for him as he oversees the whole operation in Incheon; Heechul promoted him to that position. He was instructing some men older than him which was very insulting on their part, but what can they do when it was Heechul’s will.
“how’s Incheon?”
“doing well mistress. The profit increased threefold just this week.”
“That’s really great.. but I need you here in Seoul..”
“Anything wrong?”
“Leeteuk, she was kidnapped on the way home from school.. I think Yunho got her.. I want you to bring my daughter back”
“yes mistress.”
Kangin was shocked at the news but was determined to save his angel, when his phone rang again.
“well you want Leeteuk back? Come and get her from me..”
The other line went dead before he can even respond. Kangin broke off in a run and immediately boarded a helicopter back to Seoul. He went straight to where his instincts led him: Yunho.
“so you came..”
“where is she..”
“why would I hurt my daughter?”
“where is she..”
“I won’t worry about her, if I were you, I’ll worry for myself”
And soon Kangin was surrounded by a mob of gangsters ready to fight. Kangin stood in the middle and braced himself for a fight; he put many to sleep but the number of men attacking him never seems to cease. Exhaustion dawned on him as Yunho kept watching the bear take each punch and kick pretty much amused, until the bear completely fell down, unconscious and still.
