Chapter 78 – Bombshell
She stepped out the bed, letting the cool morning air crash against the skin. She shivered before grabbing her sweater on the nightstand. She walked out of the bed and stepped out the room. The second she closed her bedroom door and took a step, she knew something was wrong.
Intuition was her best friend sometimes, and though her intuition hasn’t been the keenest lately, she could tell something was terribly wrong. She listened to the silence engulfing the house and questioned why it was so quiet. The rest of the guys should be back by now.
She made her way to the end of the hallway leading down a flight of stairs leading to the living area. She could hear soft whispers confirming that the rest of the guys returned. She turned around and walked back down the hallway which connected to another hallway which led to a large study area which was then connected to another flight of stairs, which lead to the kitchen.
Almost invisibly, she made her way down the stairs knowing all too well the kitchen would be abandon. She was right because when she grabbed a bright red apple laying in one of the bowls along with other fruits. She took a bite from the juice fruit as she stepped closer to the corridor leading to the living area.
She knew from the hushing that this was a private conversation, one she wasn’t supposed to hear. But typical SoMi h@tëd listening to the rules that others set up for her.
She pressed her ear against the door and cursed herself for acting like a teenage girl trying to eavesdrop on her parents conversation. She took another bite from the apple and wondered what was so secretive.
……
“SoMi doesn’t know about this and I can’t see why she needs to.” Doyoung insisted, his voice was a bit louder and she could tell from his voice that he was tired. Knowing them, they must have stayed up night whole night while she slept away oblivious to everything going on.
“Well for one, it’s her family, her parents.” Taeyong replied.
And SoMi press her ear closer to the door to make sure she was hearing right. Why the hell would they be talking about her parents? According to what she assumed, or what Taeyong told her, her parents were a taboo topic. No one ever mentioned them, or at least they never did. That was before meeting her.
“That’s what I’m scared of. Right now when she’s in the mental state she’s in, it’s better to not tell her. At least for the time being.” Yuta stated calmly.
SoMi huffed angrily. Great! They were still keeping secrets about her parents, no way in hell.
“Can you guys shut up and let me think.” Johnny cuts in and it was obvious he was going through a crisis right now. She sounded tired and worn out. He wasn’t like this when he tucked her in last night. What happened while she was asleep.
“You know she will find out one day and isn’t it better to find out from us then it is from someone else.” Taeyong added trying to state his point.
Thank God, someone was trying to let her know the truth. She silently thanked Taeyong for that.
“And what? Do you think it matters who tells her? She’ll have the same reaction rather we’re the one’s telling her or if a stranger is.” Johnny pointed out. “What would you do Taeyong?”
Taeyong’s silence answered his answer.
SoMi tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear and stepped forward to push the door open and demand for her, what the hell! They were refusing to tell her. Before she could though, the door flopped open causing her to tumble forward into someone’s chest, she felt his arms encircle around her waist.
“Come on, let’s talk. I’m sure you heard already.” Johnny declared.
He sounded cold and distant but when she looked up to his face, she could tell he was trying not to laugh at her clumsiness. That caused a small smile to lift up her face before he wrapped her waist and pulled her away.
He took her outside to one of the balcony overlooking the Han River. The last time she www here, Taeyong kissed her, she blocked that image from her mind because she knew her only friend kissed her to make her realize the feelings she had for the man standing next to her right now.
“Tell me already.” She requested bluntly. She had been hit with enough curve balls, one too many tornado and struck by lighting too many times to be shock by wh@tëver they discovered. Right?
“SoMi.” He began hesitantly sounding so insecure. “What was going on? What I’m about to tell you, it’s going to make you mad, no furious.” He warned.
“Johnny.” She cut in stepping closer to him. “After everything I’ve learned, I think I’m prepared for wh@tëver bombshell you have.” She replied but the way his thick brows furrowed didn’t help her cause. Really, what could be so horrible.
“Your grandfather has information on us, it was from ten years ago and we were so sure no more evidence exist, but apparently, we were wrong. He www going to use it against or at least me.”
