Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 143

After persuading Sarah to follow them, Melanie and Byung-Hun continue to drive away after the hospital agrees that Sarah’s condition is good enough to be released from the hospital.

Jieun wait patiently in the house because her father Beom-Soo has already informed her about Sarah will be brought to live with them. But Jieun doesn’t know more detail about what really happened. Beom-Soo just said to her that Sarah has been abused by her own father and Melanie will tell her the full story later on when she is arriving.

Feel like she has been waiting forever, finally her eyes caught Melanie’s and Byung-Hun car who trail behind, drive in the yard of the house from the window. Jieun now moving to the main door to see them. As soon as she opened the door, how surprised she was to see Sarah there, sitting in a wheelchair with bruises here and there.  Sarah really didn’t lool like herself.

Seeing Jieun who was in front of her at that time, Sarah could not resist the feeling and with all her might she got up from her wheelchair and kept hugging Jieun there. She feels so relieved seeing Jieun who is safe there because Martin threatened her to hurt Jieun before.

“Jieun… I’m scared.” Sarah said in sobbing now.

Jieun, who feel a little confused at the time just do things that she find it suitable. She hugs her best friend back.

“It’s okay. You will be fine.” Jieun said while looking towards Melanie and Byung-Hun alternately. Her face clearly showed a question mark.

Knowing what was implicit in Jieun’s heart at the time, Melanie asks her to bring Sarah to rest first.  Her eyes show Jieun a silent promise to tell her everything later on.

“Jieun, can you bring Sarah to her room first for her to get some rest. She just underwent surgery so she’s still weak and needs a lot of rest.” She said there.

Jieun make a nod and ask Sarah to sit in her wheelchair again  She then pushes Sarah into the room that her mother in law Ji-Na already prepared before for her.

Meanwhile, Melanie and Byung-Hun enter the house and find Ji-Na and Beom-Soo who have also been waiting for them ever since.

“I’m sorry that I keep on troubling all of you.” Melanie said there while sitting down at the sofa with a grunt.

“What are you saying? We are in this together from the start Melanie and you know it.” Ji-Na said to her. Refusing the apology.

“Ji-Na is right Mel. You don’t have to apologies.” Beom-Soo also interrupted.

“Told you she got a much more big heart than me.” Byung-Hun just said that as he already said everything that he wanted to say to her before. He didn’t have anything else to say anymore.  Melanie can only showing them her smile with gratitute there.

Meanwhile, Jieun is now supporting Sarah to sit down on the bed.

“Do you need something? Want something to drink or anything?” Jieun speak in a gentle voice there.  Didn’t want to starled her fragile friend here.

Sarah shook her head there.  She actually didn’t feel like eating or drinking this time.  In fact, she didn’t feel like to do anything.

“Can you sit with me for a moment?” Sarah asked there.  She suddenly wanted some company.

Jieun smile at her request for a moment before she then also sits on the bed.

“How are you feeling?” Jieun ask in concern.

“Worst. But thanks to Professor Melanie, I can still breathe and alive.” Sarah said there.

Jieun holding his best friend’s hand. Didn’t want Sarah to be too sad with what happen even though she have right to be sad.

“I’m so glad you’re okay.” She said in honest.  After losing Mia, she can’t imagine to lose one more of her best friends.

Sarah looks at Jieun now and start crying again.

“He suddenly comes to me after all these years just to know about the rainbow meteor.  I didn’t know what is that at first but he ask me to read about his research and all.” Suddenly Sarah tells what happened to Jieun. Express her  feelings.

“He asked me to find the meteor inside Professor Melanie’s office and also asked me  stalking her.  He think that professor have the meteor in hiding.  I feel so shame because I followed his orders and didn’t even try to fight as I am too afraid of him.”

Jieun already know about that Doctor Martin from Byung-Hun before. About who he is and what he research and all the bad things that he is doing. But she never thought that the person is actually the Sarah birth father. Of course, its not Sarah’s fault to have someone like him as her father. Jieun will never let something like this affecting their friendship.

“But suddenly he said to me to tell him where do you live. He never mention why he wanted to know about that, but I know he didn’t mean well like he always is. So even though I was afraid of him, I didn’t he to hurt you. I know, I can’t live properly if something happen to you. So at first I lie about your address. But after he caught on, he physically assault me and asked about you again. I try to fight this time but he is still strong even in the disabled situation that he in. So I just decided to shut up and accept whatever he wanted to do to me. Including death.  I don’t even remember being rescue. ”

“Oh, Sarah.” Jieun is now also shed tears there. Didn’t think that Sarah was willing to pawn security for her. Just like what Mia did. With that, she hugs her again.

“You stupid. Why you didn’t tell me in the first place. We probably could do something about that.” Jieun speak with regret.

“I’m sorry…  I just…  I can’t think straigh after he suddenly barge into my life.” Sarah could only cry there.

“But I’m afraid if he knows I am here and do something to you. What should I do? I am not supposed to agree to come here to you.  He is really dangerous person that I ever met.” Sarah started feeling restless after being here.

Jieun let go of her hug and look into Sarah eyes now.

“Don’t say things like that. We will figure it out. I’m sure my dad and professor Melanie has plans already. So don’t you worry about that and get some rest. Okay?” Jieun really hope that Sarah will be able to calm down.  She is also getting worried here, but she knows they will be able to pass this as long as all of them is together.

After 30 minutes Jieun was in the room, slowly she got out of there after Sarah finally fell asleep.

“Is she asleep now?” Melanie, who first saw Jieun walking towards the living room started to ask.

“She just managed to fall asleep. She was crying non-stop while telling me what happened.” Jieun said while sitting next to Ji-Na.

“What did she say?” Melanie also wanted to know the truth as Sarah didn’t tell her what happened.

“She said Martin has asked her to spy on you and try to find out if you have the rainbow meteor in your possession. Seems like he knows that you have it before. When she refuses, Martin will hit her making it harder for her to say no. But, this past few days, he asks her to tell him my address. ”

“Oh my God!  Why is this happening?” Melanie’s fears finally appeared there. Martin target is now switching to Jieun.

“She lies to him at first, but after he knows that she lie, he hit her harder than he used to. As she still refuses to tell him, she said he told her that he wanted to kill her because of that. And you know the rest. I can’t imagine what will happen if you didn’t found her that day.”

Melanie rub her face with her hands a few times before looking in the direction of Jieun.

“Did Sarah know from the start that you are living here?”

“No. She just knows my previous address.” Jieun make a sigh of relief. Who knows what happen to her father if Martin showing up there.

“So, what should we do now?” Beom-Soo who just watching them finally ask something now.

“First, we need to be extra careful with our moves. I will deal with Jieun and Sarah leave for college. I don’t think you should go to college for a while for your safety.”

Jieun nodded in understanding even though she feel sad about that.

“I have no doubt that Martin can come here, even with all the protection that we can provide, but we will not stay still. He is working alone anyway. ” Melanie said there.

“But if he found Jieun, what could he possibly do?  Its not like Jieun have the rainbow meteor.  She just unconsiously drink the liquid.”  Byung-Hun state there.

Beom-Soo went frozen while Melanie look at Jieun neck now.

“Who knows what is inside his crazy mind?”  Melanie just settle with that.
