Yeho by Anasis
Part 2
“Ahhhhhhhh!”
Part 2
“Ahhhhhhhh!”
The scream was really loud like it was going to rip out my ear. Things in my
sister’s room were flying across the room and got destroyed. In the middle of the
chaos, there was my mother who beautifully did her make-up and fancily did her
hair didn’t care how her hair was getting messed up. She is turning 40, yet she
doesn’t even have single wrinkle on her face. My sister’s mother died from an
illness, and right away she took over her place. She was a concubine who was a courtesan before. She gave birth to a son who has lung disease and yet acting
all proud. And being mean to my sweet sister because she was her step daughter.
“Hye!
You whore…!!”
She
was cursing and being fretful, and I smiled.
“Running
away is avoiding being a whore, Mother. Selling her body because of money and
leaving her lover isn’t it like a whore?”
“Yeho!”
“I’ll
send a message to His Majesty that my sister is ugly and didn’t take care of
her body well, so I apologize, but I can’t send my sister to North Empire.”
I
fixed my blue blanket on my shoulders and tried to leave, but my mother’s sharp
but shaking voice grabbed my attention.
“You
can’t!”
That
voice had some fear in it, and that made me feel nervous. What did my childish
mother do this time…? I slowly turned and looked at my mother’s beautifully
colored lips.
“I…I
gave away half of thousand bags.”
“…Half?
To where?”
I
said it with accusing voice, and she stepped back. I smirked.
“You
gave it away instead of your debt.”
“Ye,
Yeho.”
“Right.
Somehow it was quiet recently. You can think of paying off your debt for
selling away my sister?”
“Wha,
what should we do Yeho? Huh? Bring that bitch. Right now the carriage that will
take her is coming. Before that bring Hye. You know where she is right? You…”
I
smirked listening to my mother’s begging. Bad woman. You vulgar woman who can’t
even think straight. I have this illness because this kind of woman is my
mother. Her son has illness every day, and he is dull-witted. That kind of son
is right front of her face, but she still doesn’t know her sin.
“So,
you don’t want to die?”
“Yeho.”
“Just
leave the rest of the rice and leave, Mother.”
“…Ye..ho?”
“I
could kill you and kill myself. Leave before I change my mind, Mother.”
“What…are..”
“Even
though I’m a weakling who can’t even hold a sword, I can hear people
calling me reprobate son. The reason why I’m not doing that is because I still
want to treat you as my mother. Even if I hate you or love you, you are my
mother. So just leave only with your body, Mother.”
“…Yeho..”
“I
don’t have power to bring her back. And I don’t want to bring her back. I can’t
ruin my sister’s life because of your selfishness. If that nice person goes to
North Empire, I know she will die from spending her time crying. I don’t
want to bring her to save my and your life. You should know that this all
happened because of you. I sent her away because I knew His Majesty won’t be
that mad if I return the rice. But you turned that into a sin. You are the one
who made it into sin that can be punished by ripping our body into pieces for
deceiving the king.”
“………”
“I’m
telling you to run away because I feel pity that you are so afraid of dying. If
you don’t go now, you will die by my hand.”
Her
face turned pale after I said that. She probably knew that what I said did not
have single of lie in it. She right away went out the room.
I
coldly smile at her. I told her to run away only with her body, but she will
take all the treasure that she hid in her room. My sister was always busy
working to earn money for my medicine, but my mother was always busy decorating
herself and secretly took some money for my medicine and used it on gambling.
Even so she never let go of her jewelry. Looking at only that part, she was
pretty good at those.
I
looked around the room that she messed up. In the corner there was a pure white
bride dress hanging on the wall. It even had veil that was made out of really
thin silk. I calmly took off the blue blanket that was on my shoulders. I
untied my long hair and took off my jeogori. The air that was touching my skin
was cold. I coughed. I hardly calmed the coughs and took off my pants. Wore
underpants on my skinny legs look like bamboo sticks. On top of that, I wore
layers of underskirts and wore the dress skirt. I tied it around my chest and
wore jeogori. The jeogori was long that it covered one third of the skirt. On
top of the jeogori, I wore a white silk belt and wore a long silk dress. I wore
the veil on my head that I made me look like a woman. Luckily because I was
sick often, I couldn’t grow tall and big as any regular men, so the dress fit
me as well. I saw the mirror and because the veil was in two layers, they
couldn’t see the face well. I think I could pull it off until I get to the
North Empire. They said she was going to be a concubine for the old Emperor, so
if I’m lucky I can buy time for my sister and her lover can run away far as
they can and make a family, and my mother can lie and remarry an unlucky old
man with her jewelry that she took. If that time comes, no one will cry even if
I die alone.
I quietly went out the gate
hearing people calling for me.
