Chapter 24: The Forceful Kiss

Yong-Sun stood there frozen in his position. He was shocked to see the look on Ashma's face. She was like a dragon, spitting fire. She was spluttering at Bong-Cha, viciously. It was difficult to watch her getting blamed for nothing but he understood where Ashma was coming from. Her mother was lying on the hospital bed because of a lie Bong-Cha told. The anticipation of meeting a lover after years, the long-distance travelling, the meeting with unknown people all took its toll. The shock after shock for an elderly lady was too much for her heart.

He knew what it felt to lose a parent. He knew that pain. He knew how it felt to see a parent enter the hospital but then out comes a dead body. The talk with doctors, the pity of relatives, he knew all too well. He knew how it feels when you want to cry but cannot cry as you have no idea what to feel, how to feel an emotion. He very well knew how hospitals sucked the joy out of one's life. He still remembered the corridor and galleries of the hospital where he lost his father. Every hospital looked the same to him, dark and gloomy.

He understood what Ashma was feeling right now. He understood that the only way to calm her down was to get her mother in front of her, no one else, nothing else could help her now. He understood that there was a tragedy going on in her life. She could do nothing about it. Today was the day she brought her mother to a different land and was about to lose her.

But still, the tragedy in her life didn't give her permission to unload her burden on a child. Bong-Cha was still a baby for everyone. She was pampered like a princess but this girl was ripping her apart. She was holding her responsible for the mother's condition.

Even in all the chaos, he noticed that the whole family was for Bong-Cha but no one was for Ashma. Baek-Hyeon protected his younger sister from his elder sister but she ripped him too and then continued ripping Bong-Cha again. More than Ashma's anger, her fear was showing. She was more than afraid to lose her mother.

He again noticed how Eun-Kyung voice and touch calmed her down. He thanked God that the doctor arrived at the right time. He sighed with relief to hear that it was not a heart attack. It was just a panic attack.

He observed how Ashma shuddered after she heard the news and looked at Eun-Kyung with guilt-ridden eyes. She covered her mouth and while crying ran away from there. Eun-Kyung was about to run after her when Young-Jae stopped her.

"Let her go," shouted Young-Jae.

"Shiahbuhji! She needs me," protested Eun-Kyung.

He stared at her face with disgust and screamed, "she said so, so, many harsh words to your daughter and you still feel for her. You want to be with her?"

"She was scared, she thought she lost her mother, it's not her fault that she couldn't control her anger," explained Eun-Kyung. Yong-Sun was happy to hear that someone from the family understood Ashma's condition.

"I don't care. No one, I repeat, no one talks to my sonnyuh the way she shouted at her. Just look at her, she is shivering with fear." Young-Jae went and side hugged Bong-Cha.

"Your sonnyuh lied to everyone, she told Ashma that her father was about to die. And now that girl thought that she might also lose her mother. What would you do in such a situation? Will you be happy or will you project your anger at someone else, just the way she did?" Bong-Cha's eyes widened. She was shocked to hear how clearly her mother understood every action of Ashma.

Yong-Sun also understood the bond between Ashma and Eun-Kyung, clearly. She was right, every word out of her mouth was correct. Anyone in Ashma's situation would have behaved in the same manner.

But Young-Jae was having none of that. He yelled, "enough! I don't want to hear a single word from anyone's mouth. Passersby started staring at the Park and Man family. A famous family was shouting in the corridors of the hospital, it was becoming a spectacle with every passing minute. They knew that paparazzi would be arriving within minutes.

"But…" Eun-Kyung lowered her voice after looking at the people near them.

"No if, no but, let her go. And the rest of you, come with me back home. She can take care of her mother," commanded Young-Jae.

"But ahppa!" this time Young-Soo protested.

Young-Jae as usual completely ignored him and addressed his grandsons, "Yongsuna! Baekhyeona! You both stay. The rest of you come with me."

"I am staying," announced Young-Soo.

"She hates you, do you really want to be shouted at by her in front of hospital staff?" snapped Young-Jae. He made a valid point but Young-Soo knew his daughter needed him.

He hung his head, disheartened and softly said, "she needs me."

"Keunahppa, I will take care of her. We already witnessed so much drama. Do you want more? Please go with harabuhji." Yong-Sun presented a valid point in front of everyone.

"He is right. It's enough drama for today. Yongsuna, make sure no one gets to know who she is," commanded Young-Jae.

"What? Why?" asked Young-Soo shocked.

"Do you have any idea what kind of scandal will it be? The business tycoon of Korea has a secret daughter," explained Young-Jae.

"Business tycoon! Since when I am a business tycoon in your eyes and for your kind information I will announce it to the world in a heartbeat that she is my daughter. Don't project your insecurities on me. You have an issue with this secret coming out, I don't care for a scandal," shouted Young-Soo.

"Ahppa! Please," begged Baek-Hyeon.

"Be assured harabuhji, no one will know the secret," assured Yong-Sun.

"The rest of you, come with me," ordered Young-Jae.

Everyone started following Young-Jae. While walking away Young-Jae took out his phone and walked away while speaking on it. The rest of the people were walking in front of him. It seemed as if the shepherd was herding his sheep.

"You, wait for the doctor, I will search for her," said Yong-Sun.

"Good! I don't want to see her anymore," said Baek-Hyeon angrily.

"Dongseng! Exclaimed Yong-Sun.

"What, Hyung?"

"You know what she must be feeling right now. Gomo explained everything in detail. Were your ears closed? Or did you shut down your brain?"

Baek-Hyeon scrunched his nose and sniffled. "I know, I understand but her sadness doesn't give her the right to shout at my sister."

"I understand, but remember, Bong-Cha has her family with her, Ashma has no one."

Baek-Hyeon closed his eyes and let go of his anger with a deep exhale. "Leave, go find her. I will talk to the doctors."

Yong-Sun nodded and went in the direction that Ashma went. He looked at every nook and every corner but couldn't find her. Suddenly he turned into a quiet corridor, there she was curled into a ball, sobbing like a child. She kept her face hidden in her palms. He felt bad for her, he felt pity. His heart cried seeing her like that.

Her crying took him back in his memories when he was unable to cry when his elders told him about his father, being a kid he couldn't comprehend the gravity of the situation. He had his mother with him to console him, he had two more fathers and two mothers, his friends, a grandfather to console him but she was crying alone, hugging a wall. His chest was hurting after seeing her in pain. He controlled his tears and moved towards her.

He hesitated but the next moment placed his hand on her shoulder. She instantly stood up and looked at him. The tears-filled eyes, the swollen face, the red nose, the sniffling, the lines of tears on her face made him gasp with grief and misery. He wanted to hug her, tell her that everything will be okay, tell her that he will always be with her. But she jerked his hand away instantly.

He asked with concern, "are you ok?"

Very rudely, she replied, "leave me alone, I don't need your help."

She wiped her tears and started walking away from him. Before she would walk away, something came over Yong-Sun and he grabbed her hand. He pulled her towards him and placed his hand on the small of her back. He pulled her closer and closer and enclosed her in a bear hug.

She protested and tried to get out of his grip, "what are you doing? Let me go."

He knew she would definitely protest. He ignored her words, placed his hand on the back of her head and forced her head on his shoulder. She wiggled and squirmed and wriggled and objected and screamed but he never gave her an inch to move.

"Let me go," she shouted.

"She is okay, your mother is okay, she will be fine," consoled Yong-Sun.

"Let me go, LET GO OF ME." She kept screaming and sobbing.

"Listen to me, she is okay, you are not going to lose your mother." He tried hard to get her out of the shock but in vain. She kept hitting him and kept trying to get out of his grip while constantly shouting at him.

No one of his tactics was working. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and thought of a plan. It was a stupid plan and he knew she would kill him after that but he had to try.

He held her hand tightly and forcefully twisted it behind her back. With a sudden jerk, he pushed her against the wall and enclosed her body with his. With his other hand, he softly grabbed her hair and pulled her head upwards.

"Look at me, your mother is fine, you need to get out of it."

"How dare you touch me, you asshole?" she yelled.

"That's it." He ran out of patience. He placed his lips on her lips with force.. A warm sensation ran through their bodies.
