Four


"Wait! What? Your adopted parents commited suicide? Why would they do that?" Youngbae slammed his hands on the table and shouting.

I shrug my shoulders, "Beats me, you would have to ask them I have no clue why!" I had told them.

"I may not know you guys well, and since I have no one who knows my story besides my adopted parents and the orphanage in Thailand I'll tell you."

Everyone nodded their heads, "Let's eat first though, or I won't have the energy or confidence to tell you anything!" I picked up the serving spoon of the soup, serving me a little more.

I could feel their eyes noting into my soul, I finished my soup and moved into the next dish. I ate a little bit of chicken and the beef dish and a whole lot of rice. I grabbed my dishes, having being done and made my way to the kitchen.

I've already cleared the kitchen of the dinnerware and just finished washing my own. I grabbed a soda from the fridge along with 4 others. I passed them out and sat in the same seat.

"Go ahead Alecia, we are ready." said Youngbae.

"I'm originally from Thailand, both of my real parents were raised and grew up there. Being an only child in a Chinese family, kinda sucked. But I got along with everyone, I helped where I could in my Mom and dad's restaurant. Until at 16 my parents both died of sickness, I was in the midst of burying them when I met my adoptive parents at 17. Mr & Mrs Li helped me from that point on, Mrs Li couldn't have kids so they came too Thailand to adopt."

I took a sip of my soda, "They were in their 40s and didn't want a younger kid, they want a kid in their teens. Being super smart already, when they brought me to Seoul I had graduated after taking the final exam the next day. Mrs Li had taught me everything I should know as a young Chinese girl is suppose to know since birth. At 18, I enrolled in Seoul's Music Theory program and graduated with a BA last year, the night of my graduation I had come home to hear a slight tapping and and gagging to both of my adoptive parents hanging from the ceiling. You know the house that's in back of this place? That's the house where it happened. That's the tragic past that Mr. Wang was talking about.
But also that I'm dying, so that why I passed out in the shopping district that day."

I finished the rest of my soda, getting up and recycling it. I made my way towards the door with my things, I shocked them stupid. I giggled to myself, at least some one knows now, just maybe I won't be myself when I pass.

Who knows what will happen, only time will tell right?
