Part 21
Ji Won walked down the aisle looking at the 5 new candidates.
He nodded his head as he studied them.
“Pretty good,” he said to them.
“Alright,” he clapped his hands for attention.
“All of you know how it’s done. Jae Jin and Jae Duc
will jump on each of you. If you’re still standing after
5 minutes, then welcome to Sechskies.”
Only 2 of the 5 guys lasted the beating. “Okay,” said
Sung Hoon. The two newest members to join are...“
“Wait!” a voice shouted, interrupting Sung Hoon. Everyone
looked over to see who it is. Ji Won stared at the young boy who
was walking towards them.
‘What the hell? Damn! This kid looks like Mina!’ he
thought.
‘I must be losing it. How come I keep seeing her today?’
Sung Hoon looked at the new boy curiously.
“Yes? What do you want little man?”

I looked at Sung Hoon.
‘Gosh, he developed an attitude’, I thought. I took
a deep breath. This is it.
“I want to join SechsKies.” A guy I recognized as
Jang Su Won busted out laughing. He placed his hand on top of
my head.
“You? How old are you boy? 15? 16? And how tall are you
now? 5’?” I moved his hand away for him.
“No. I’m 18 and I’m not 5’, I’m
5’3.” That remark made all the other members except
Ji Won laugh. I looked at him curiously and realized he was checking
me out.
‘Oh no’, I thought.
‘Please don’t recognize me’. Ji Won held up
his hand for the others to stop laughing.
“Hey, if he wants a chance, then we’ll give it to
him.” Then he turned to face me. I felt my heart thumping
loud and prayed he couldn’t hear it. He placed his hand
on my shoulder. Dang, he smells good, I thought as I tried to
suppress a smile.
“Look kid,” said Ji Won to me.
“You have to be jumped on to join. These 2 guys (pointing
at Jae Jin and Jae Duc) will kick the crap out of you for 5 minutes.
If you’re still standing, you’re in.” I nodded
my head. I knew I had to last because I’m doing it for Ji
Won. I stood there as Jae Duc and Jae Jin began to hit me. Jae
Jin threw the first punch and it gave me instant pain. He’s
even stronger than my stepmom, I thought. Jae Duc kicked me and
I was knocked to the ground but I kept pulling myself up. Ji Won
looked at the helpless boy who was struggling to stand up. He
doesn’t understand why but when he looks at the boy, images
of Mina replaced him. Right now in his eyes, it looked like it
was Mina being beaten up by Jae Jin and Jae Duc. He couldn’t
help it.
“Stay down!” he yelled to the boy. Everyone stared
at Ji Won. Both Jae Jin and Jae Duc stopped hitting the boy because
they were surprised that Ji Won was being nice out of nowhere.
I heard Ji Won yelling for me to stay down. My ears
listened but my legs wouldn’t. I refused to
stay down. No matter how many times they hit me or
how hard, I managed to get up. Finally 5 minutes was
over and I was still standing.
“Am I in?” I asked in a weak voice. I saw Ji
Won staring at me with a surprised expression.
“Yes, you’re in.” he said patting
my shoulder. I smiled and fainted into his arms.
Ji Won held the boy in surprise. He realized the boy had fainted.
Usually he would let go if someone fainted on him, but this time
he held on tight. The other Sechskies members and the 2 new recruits
looked at Ji Won in a strange manner.
“Uh, hyung,” said Sung Hoon, as he patted Ji Won on
the shoulder.
“What?” asked Ji Won, as he continued holding the
boy.
“What should we do about the new recruits?”
“Give them instructions and show them to their rooms. We’ll
have a meeting tomorrow.”
“Okay.” They all left but once in a while, they all
would glance back looking at Ji Won, who was carrying the boy
in the other direction.

Part 22
Slowly I began to regain my consciousness and I woke
up. I looked around and realized I was in the biggest
room in the Nam Hotel, The Presidential Suite.
“What am I doing in here?” I asked myself.
Then suddenly the chair in front of me spun around.
Ji Won was sitting in it. I stared at him with wide
eyes. I started to panic because I was all alone with
him in the room.
Ji Won gave me a sideways glance.
“You okay?” he asked. I nodded my head.
Ji Won got up out of his seat and walked towards me.
He sat down on the bed next to me and looked at me
straight in the eyes.
“So what’s your name?” he asked.
“Mi-“ I began but instantly cut myself
off.
‘Stupid, I thought to myself. You almost said
your real name!’ I saw Ji Won’s eyes grow
wide.
“What did you say your name was?”
“Min-Sung,” I answered him quickly.
“Oh,” he said and backed away from me.
Ji Won stood up and walked towards the window, looking
outside. He knew the new recruit was a boy but somewhere
inside him wished Min Sung would say his name was
Mina. He let out a sigh.
“There’s a meeting tomorrow. Be there
okay?”
I looked at Ji Won with his back facing me. It had
only been 2 years but I felt as though I couldn’t
read what was going through his mind anymore. I let
out a sigh myself.
“Ji Won, where do we meet later tomorrow?”
Hearing his real name made Ji Won suddenly look up.
He ran over to where Min Sung was sitting and grabbed
him by his shoulders.
“How do you know my real Korean name? No one
knows me by that. Everyone calls me Matthew.”
Oh no, I thought. I had completely forgotten that
Ji Won had changed his name to Matthew but I thought
fast.
“I didn’t know your name is Ji Won. All
I said was, ‘Gee, wanna go out later tomorrow?’"
I felt Ji Won’s grip on me loosen. He had bought
the story. When he was not looking, I let out a sigh
of relief.
‘I’m losing it,’ thought Ji Won.
“We’ll meet in the main dining room tomorrow,”
Ji Won told Min Sung. He nodded his head and left.
Ji Won walked out to the balcony and looked up at
the sky.
“I love you Mina, that’s why it hurts
so much that you’re not here.”
But the real Mina had left before she could have heard those
words
