Chapter 5 The Funeral

KAREN'S POV

I was getting really tired of all the drama but not too long after Marshall got off the phone with Yi's father.

I saw the familiar black Mercedes of Yi's father's car packed just outside the hospital and in no time, he came out.

Before he got to where I and Marshall were standing, I quickly whispered to him "Act accordingly...he should not suspect anything".

I did not even let him speak first and immediately ran to Mr. Jang and hugged him really tight, pouring out my fake tears.

"Oh father I really don't know how this happened. I feel like I have lost everything in life. How could Yi leave us behind like this?".

He gently pulled out of the hug and said to me " Where is Marshall?".

Marshall stepped forward and before he could speak, Mr. Jang slapped him across the face and I was shocked, and thrown off balance for the first time since all this began playing out.

"Where were you when this happened? What were you doing?". He said, grabbing Marshall by the collar.

" I want to see my daughter? Where is my daughter?". He screamed which caused some of the nurses to come running out.

I was suddenly grateful that the cops had left because if they hadn't gone, this reaction might have raised suspicions in their minds and that was the last thing we needed.

I quickly held him "Father please get a hold of yourself we are all deviated as it is and I am very sure Yi won't want us to be acting this way over her death . Please don't be upset father".

I was trying my best to console the foolish old man at this point but he kept repeating 'I want to see my daughter'. Until he eventually passed out.

I and Marshall looked at him through the door of his room and he said to me "Do you want to go and see Yi?".

I didn't want to at first. I decided to just say my final goodbyes and Marshall told me he was going to make the preparations for her funeral.

I walked into the room and the smell of drugs was very prevalent and I slowly walked up to her still body and pulled away the cloth from her face. She laid there lifeless and so cold and I felt very relieved that she was gone

"Goodbye Yi. I hope you won't hate me too much and I promise you that I and Marshall will take very good care of JANG FOOD INDUSTRIES".

I was about to leave when I turned around and said " And as for your father, don't worry either I will spare him just for your sake okay?". I slowly put the cover back over her and walked out of the room.

I have always hated wearing the color black as opposed to many opinions about how it made one look elegant and sophisticated...but I was of a completely different opinion.

I have always loved bright and sunny colors like yellow, pink and the likes but today, I felt pure joy wearing the color black.

I specifically went shopping for this funeral since I didn't really have any black dresses in my closet and even though it was quite on the pricey side, I didn't mind and I paid very happily.

It was annoyingly sunny today so I had to take my sunglasses and besides my eyes has become very puffy due to all the fake tears I have been shedding and I was prepared to shed even more today because I carried some eye drops that would aid my shedding of fake tears.

As I sat in the chapel inside the hospital building , and listened to the priest talking about death and how sometimes it could mean the person has been taken to a better place, I scoffed to myself Yi did not deserve to be in a better place if anything she should be burning in hell.

I have never let myself be fooled by her goody two shoes attitude. I knew that she loved the fact that people always praised her.

I had never let it get to me at first but soon I unknowingly started competing with her and it always infuriated me that no matter what I did, I couldn't beat her.

But that is all in the past as I have won and now she's the one laying in that casket. She is gone and it is my turn to shine and that too without any obstacles.

I looked over to the other aisle and I noticed that Marshall was seating with Mr. Jang and I felt a little sorry for Mr. Jang. I mean the old man has been through a lot. First he lost his wife while trying to have Yi and now Yi is gone too.

He looked so sick and distressed. I was surprised that the old man did not have a cardiac arrest. But that's okay I'm not worried about him he can be very well taken care of.

Before we all walked out of the church to go and lay Yi to rest, I quickly went to the restroom and applied the eye drops because frankly I was running out of tears.

I walked up to Mr. Jang making sure I was sobbing profusely and held him "Oh father how will we live without Yi. I still can not believe that she has gone and left us".

Thankfully, he accepted my hug and did not act funny so I began to console him. While we both walked together with the priest, leading the procession.

As we walked along, I noticed a doctor coming to join us, there was a woman behind him with long straight hair. She looked like she was involved in an accident.

I and Marshall walked up to Yi once again to pay our last respects when I noticed the same lady crying bitter tears just in front of Yi's picture.

She had long straight hair and looked devastated. I was about to tap her and ask how she knew Yiso when Marshall slipped a piece of paper in my hands and when I opened it, it read.

"LET'S BEGIN THE NEXT PHASE OF OUR PLAN!"
