(Kind, crazy & cold-hearted)

Episode 14

By: Faith Lucky.

Kim ji (Kind)
My heart pounded as I started at him. What have I done? Why did he exclaim? What happened to the stew?

Oh God!

He chuckled and looked down at the table. Then, he kept the spoon and moved on to the next table.

I clasped must palms together and hoped for the best. I really hope I get to win this. But with this expression…I don’t even know what to think.

He went round, tasting the food of the rest of the applicants and finally, he was the done. Then, he returned to stand in the middle of the room.

“Hmm” he hummed.
“And this is the end of the interview.

“You; what’s your name?” He asked, looking at my direction.

I looked beside me to be sure he was really referring to me.

“The lady that spilled drink on me” he rolled his eyes

“Um…Kim.” I replied with a nervous gulp

“Kim” he repeated.
“Okay; the rest of you, you can go home. Kim come with me” he said and started walking away and I gasped.

Wait; what does that mean?

I looked at the other applicants and they were gawping at me, grumbling.

Oh my God!

I grabbed my bag and trailed after him as he left the room.

I was so nervous. Did I really win? Why else would he want to see me?

I kept following him behind until we got to a room which looked like an office.

“Sit” he told me after taking his own seat on the other side of the table.

“Thanks” I smiled and took a seat.

“Okay; let’s go straight to the point. Congratulations, you’ve been employed as the new cook and will commence by tomorrow.

“Just so you know, as a cook, you’re expected to be here as early as six so you could make breakfast. And you leave by 8pm. You can feel free to sleepover whenever you want. We just don’t want you to feel we’re depriving you of being with your family.

“Each day has its own menu of food and when you come tomorrow, it’ll commence. Now, if you have any question, feel free to ask” he concluded, rushing his words.

The wh0le time, I watched in disbelief.

Oh God! I really passed it! I made it! I’ll become a cook.

I smiled and breathed out a relief.

“Thank you” was all I could say.
I was too overwhelmed to speak.

“You’re welcome. Come with your account details tomorrow. A token will be sent to you – courtesy of my dad.
“Now, if that’s all, you can leave”.

He said coldly and I chuckled and stood up.

“Thank you so much. I really appreciate” I beamed, but he didn’t say a word and I turned around and left the office.

I walked at a slow pace with my bag and books in my hand, not knowing what to think.

How can that jerk think of k-ssing that lady in my very presence? I can’t believe he’s a flirt.

I felt so angry and bittered. I didn’t even know where I was headed.

“Hey Kim” two girls coming towards me called with a grin but I didn’t even stop to look at them.
I was too engrossed in my thoughts.

“Kim! Have you gone dumb?” One of them called again and held me by the hand.

That was when I recognizes them. They were the same ladies Gyeong had told me about – that always bullied Kim ji.

I stopped and looked at them.

“I was beginning to think you were a ghost” the other said and laughed.

I sighed and tried walking away, not in the mood to talk.

But they blocked my way.

“We’re not done talking, pumpkin. I really want to know what gave you the nerves to talk to me the way you did back then in Jeonju” she said with her hands folded.

“If you really wanna know, try stopping me one note time” I told her and tried walking away again and the other pushed me.

Whaaat?

I scoffed and batted my lashes.

“Did…Did you just dig a grave?” I asked and they looked at each other in a funny way.

Perfect!

I threw my bag and books away and gripped the first lady by the hair.

“Hey!! You b***h! Let me go!” She snarled and tried pushing me away and I slapped her.

The second lady tried coming to me and I kicked her hærd on the tummy while I held the first lady’s hair roughly.

“You really want to die, huh?” I rasped and made her hit her knees on the ground..
Students were already gathering around.

The second lady tried coming to me again and I got hold of her hair as well and slapped her, letting go of the first lady for the meantime. I needed to face her.

I punched her as she scre-med and pushed her to the floor.

The first lady tried running away but I caught her and made her lie back on floor, giving her a hærd kick.

They’re both going to die by my hands today.

“Oh my God! Kim, why the hell did you do that??” Gyeong grumbled as we left the principal’s office.

I folded my hands angrily.

“Why did you get involved in a fight? The principal said he’s gonna repost the issue to your dad. It’s gonna create suspicions, Kim! Why…”

“Oh, please!” I cut her off.
“Those ladies were nothing but rats. They needed someone to put them in a h0le” .

“Really? By making them end up in the school medic?” She asked.

“They’re just lucky a teacher came around to save them. Else, they’d have ended up in the cemetery” I rolled my eyes.

“Kim..”

I stopped walking when I s₱0tted him again – the jerk – Jeremy.

He was with that same lady – his girlfriend. She was so bony and dry. I really don’t get what he sees in her.

“What is it?” Gyeong asked, wondering why I stopped walking.

They were far from us and probably couldn’t see us.
And thinking about it – He’s the reason I got so pissed off and engaged in a fight.

“Is that lady really his girlfriend? I can’t believe someone like him could have such a poor taste” I said angrily and she seemed surprised.

“Who…are you talking about?” She asked.
“Jeremy?”

“Yes – who else? They don’t even match. How can someone like that be his girlfriend? I can’t believe his eyes works behind his skull”

“Kim!” She called with a chuckle.
“What’re you talking about? That isn’t Jeremy’s girlfriend. Hell no” she said and looked t her in a flash.

“Huh?”

“What’re you thinking, Kim? That’s Nari – his sister”.

Whaaaaat???

Kim nana (Crazy)
What?

I felt my head spinning as I listened to her.

“His sister?” I repeated, confused.

“Yes – his cousin sister. What were you thinking?” She asked

But he k-ssed her!
Oh!
No wonder it was a peck on her cheek…and not a real k-ss.

Hmm.

“So, that’s his sister?” I asked, nodding my head.

“Yes, Kim. Hold on; why re you so interested in him?” Gyeong asked and I rolled my eyes.

“Nothing” I pouted and continued walking away.

Kim ji (Kind):
I opened the door and walked into the house excitedly

“Mum?” I called, wondering where she might be and she came out of the room immediately, packing her hair.
It seems she was getting ready for work.

“Kim!” She called on seeing me.
I ran to her and embraced her immediately.

“I passed the interview, mum! I got the job!” I said happily and she laughed.

“Nice wish, Kim. Besides, I’ve told you to stop lying, right? I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl” she said and started walking away, going to the mirror.

“But mum, I’m…I’m not joking. I mean, I really got the job. I wouldn’t lie to you about this” I said ecstatically and she turned to look at me.

“What’re you talking about?” She puzzled.
“What do you mean you passed the job?”

I suddenly became cold.

“I…I did”.

She looked at me for a long time without saying a word.

“You’re lying” she said as she took her bag from the couch and headed for the door.

“But mum…” I tried calling her back but she left already.

Geez! Why doesn’t she believe me?

I stood outside the library and waited for her to come out. Gyeong had told me she had seen her going into the library and I really couldn’t wait for it.

I rubbed my palms together, hoping it works. Of course, it will.

Finally, I awe her coming out of the library. Perfect!😋

I stood and waited for her to come near.

What was her name again? Yes.

‘Nari!” I called when she was about walking pass me and she stopped and looked at me.

“Hi…” She drew her word, probably wondering why I stopped her.

“Hi beautiful. How’s your day going?” I asked, with smiles all over.

“Uh…it’s fine. Thanks” she replied.

“Okay. I’m Kim..and you’re Nari. I’m so happy to meet you” I stretched out my hand for a handshake.

“Sorry, how did you know my name?”

“Oh,please! You don’t need to apologize. Anyway, I just saw you and liked you. And I was hoping we could be friends”.

“Huh?” She crumpled her face.

Well, she has no option but to be my friend.

“Well, I guess we’ll talk later. I need to hurry off now.
“Nice meeting you too” she smiled and walked away.

Awwn! She smiled at me.

Hmm
That’s a good start. Don’t worry Jeremy, since you wanna be a di*khead, I’ll show you I’m a di*ktail

Mi cha (Cold-hearted)
I stood in front of the mirror and wore the gold necklace around my neck.

I was looking so hot, ready for my next mission.

Any guy who sees me right now would definitely run mad for me.

Shortly, the door opened and I turned to discover it was Josh.

Gosh! Goodness!

I sighed and turned back to the mirror, awaiting him to come closer.

“Hey” he called as he stood behind me and I turned to face him.

He was putting on a flying jacket which exposed his tattoo chest

“You’re ready?”

“Yeah” I muttered with a nod.

He looked at my short jeans skirt, then back into my face.

“You look pretty” he complimented and I managed a light smile.

“Be careful, okay?” He asked and reached for my l-ips, giving me a snogging k-ss.

I reciprocated. Well, I had to and after a while, he unlocked.

“If you really want this to stop, you really wanna quit this job, all you have to do is get pregnant for me and it’ll be over” he said and left the room..

What?

My mission…

I walked into the classic eatery and met him there – my target.

He was well seated on a table, backing the entrance and I went over to meet him.

There were a lot of customers around as well.

His eyes beamed the moment he saw me.

“You’re late” he stated coldly and I took a seat, facing him.

“Were you expecting me to do the waiting?” I asked as I brought out the file from my bag and placed it on the table.

“I don’t have much time. Let’s go straight to business. Sign it so I can leave” I stated.

He smirked and turned the file to his side.

“Give me one reason why I should sign it” he said teasingly.
“I mean, I can just simply kill you right here and take the money. It’s no big deal”.

“Really?”, I scoffed
“You think you can kill me?”

“Yeah – my men are in here. Look around. I have one each on four tables beside you and they’re all waiting for my order”.

I looked around and confirmed it. His men were in the eatery with us and they had their eyes on me.

“Really? You invited me here to trap me with your men?” I asked and he shrugged.

I chuckled and brought out a stop watch from my bag.

“Well,” I continued more in a whisper.
“Just so you know, I plant a bomb around this building right before I showed up and as soon as I click this little button in my hand, we’re all dead.”

His eyes w¡dened like they wanted to leave their sockets.

“You’re bluffing”, he said.

“Really? Well, I guess there’s only one way to find out. Just that, you might not live to tell the truth”. I smirked.

He looked at the watch in my hand,,his eyes watering.

I’m sure he must’ve think of snatching it from me. But he also knows he can’t be faster than my fingers.

“If you do it…you die as well” he said.
“We’re all meant to die one day. So, I don’t have a problem” I shrugged.

I could clearly see the fear in his eyes.

I smiled and leaned back on my chair.

“I wonder what your 6 year old son is gonna do when he sees his mum crying on the phone, after receiving a call that her husband died like a rat”. I told him and his eyes sparkled.
Hm .

Alas, there’s nothing he can do about it.

He quickly took the pen and signed the doc-ment.

“You’re a b***h, you know that?” He gritted his teeth.

“Yeah – and the b***h always wins” I smiled as I slipped the file into my bag and stood up.

“It was nice having you around” I winked at him and walked away, going out of the eatery.

I got out to the road side where the boys were already waiting for me in the car and they opened the door as soon as they saw me.

I threw the dead stopwatch on the floor before entering into the car and the driver zoomed off.

I kept the stop watch on the floor, hoping he sees it.
So, he can realize there was never a bomb in the building.
