Ch#45: Found You

"No no, I didn't meet her. I was just saying by the way_ "

He negated, shaking his head briefly, and gave a shrug. But his enlarged orbs told some other story.  Taehyung was my childhood friend and I knew each and every move and action of his. I knew his nature, I knew he would lie to save people but I also knew he never lied to me. He shared each and every matter to me, I shared each and every matter of mine to him. We're like heart and soul to each other. He supported me through thins and thicks. We had sorted out every issue together. And if we couldn't solve anything, Yoongi hyung assisted us.

But what was it that he had to hide from me now? Why did he need to lie to me? What could be the urge? What could be the constraint?

I gave a slight nod at his negation and, resting my hands on the knees, I fixated my gaze at the marble floor and said;

"Is there moron written anywhere on my face?"
And I again turned my gaze to him. His brows hiked a little as a sign that he didn't get my words.

"No, nowhere." He shook his head abruptly. The expression of his big eyes pasted an uncontrollable grin on my face. I again gave a slow nod.

"Okay," I went silent for couple of seconds, and then added,
"Did you enjoy your trip with Seokjin hyung? I know he never stands back from flooding money at tours. I'm sure you had a great time."

His facial expressions loosened a bit in relaxation. I could tell he would be thanking God in heart for the change of the topic.

"Ah yes, yes, it was so much fun," Gulping hard, he nodded with a faint smile.

"Seokjin hyung attended meetings and I attended clubs and parties. He was busy with his works but I enjoyed it a lot. I- uh..."

He, while telling me his experience, looked everywhere but me. And I don't know why my eyes couldn't get off of his face. He started stuttering when his eyes met mine. But I didn't say a word, instead let him complete his story.

"Uh- I visited every beautiful place out there. It was really an amazing experience," He again skipped the name of the place where he had been to and looked at me with a grin, "yes it was, an amazing experience." His head lowered when a real smile appeared on his lips.
Even though I was dying to know the place where he had  an amazing experience, still I maintained my expression calm because haste could make waste. And I didn't want my plan to be wasted. Joining him in his smile, I said in a quite light tone.

"Good good," And showed my teeth. His grin also deepened as he looked at me. Yes! Now was the time. God knew what I was going to ask was true or false, but I had to trap him in some way, in any way.

"By the way Luna and Y/N are still living together or they've separated their residences? "

"Ahan, they're still together." He blurted out in response to my question and I simply watched him in silence, not letting him know that his lie was caught.

"Her house is double storey so she didn't let Y/N to live alone 'cuz she already had committed suicide once and Luna never allowe-"

And suddenly his tongue caught brakes. His eyes bugged out of their sockets and the angle of his gaze turned towards me at once. But I was too shocked to even form a word. She committed suicide attempt? And he knew that? And he didn't tell me?

My heart started throbbing in my chest. It felt like some kind of black smoke filled inside me because of which it became difficult for me to breathe even.

"No...no, Chim! It's not like that-" Once he realized he had blurted out more than needed, he sat straight and started giving clearances.

"It's- it's just that..."
