20 - Revealing The Truth Takes Time I

"Seola has a brother?" Yeona rushed into the study room where Kiyeon was standing, smiling at his sisters actions. Seola stood up giggling and nodded her head.

"Logan Lee, you probably know him from his businesses, apparently he came into Korea a few weeks ago but he needs to sort stuff out before meeting us," Seola explained his situation. Yeona sunk down in the spare chair, thinking through her plan once more.

"How is mother?" Yeona looked up at Kiyeon who did not meet her eye. Obviously she wasn't well, she just found out that her husband was in fact murdered and everything was a lie.

"She's fine,"

The next morning, Yeona got dressed into her school uniform and waited for Kiyeon outside the door. News travel fast. In the span of one day, Ju Dantae already has headlines filled with things no one is even sure if they are true. At this point he deserves it. 

A young looking woman and a girl, similarly aged with Yeona, walked towards her apartment. Yeona smiled at the two, recognising them immediately.

"Hello Bae Rona," Rona smiled at her mother Yunhee and skipped over to her. They haven't met that many times but something was in the air and they were instantly best friends. 

"I completely forgot you lived here, I am so sorry I didn't visit earlier, stuff has been happening recently so," Yunhee shook her head and placed her hand on her shoulder, comforting the girl.

"Don't even worry, I have heard from your uncle, is he inside?" 

Thinking about it, neither of the siblings have heard from him in a while. Yeona zoned out, attempting to think back to when she saw him last. 

"He is probably inside, come in my mother is inside as well," Yeona closed the door behind her, ditching her brother and walking side by side with Rona.

The whole way down, the two discussed everything but home. For the both of them, home was definitely a tough subject, especially when they don't even know the truth. Rona and Yeona were in the same car, attending school. The whole way there it was silent. It wasn't uncomfortable, it was more like they were both thinking and were in the clouds. Yeona needs to find any information she can. Kiyeon needs to do his part and Yeona needs to do her part. She will trust that Kiyeon will do what is required.

"Hey Rona, I know this is a lot to ask, but can you help me with something?" Rona turned her body away from the window and focussed solely on Yeona. 

"I don't know if you heard but, my father was murdered and my number one suspect is Ju Dantae, I need your help with getting information," Rona was stunned at the news. Her mother always tried to keep her away from any harm in the world, but when she is living at Hera Palace, it can be hard.

It is safe to say that Rona was now part of the team.

Seola walked along side Kiyeon when they bumped into Yunhee and Taewon chatting in the kitchen. The couple bowed politely while the boy gave his uncle a side hug. Taewon kissed his head and waved off Seola before getting rid of his smile and turning back to his conversation with Yunhee.

"When he finds out what you did, he will be very hurt, Jung Kiyeon will," Yunhee threw the documents over the table, her evil glare not leaving Taewon. His eyes were not happy, they were evil. He stared at her threw his brows and proceeded.

The couple got stopped in their tracks as Suryeon ran to Seola hugging her tightly. Tears ran down her face as she kept apologising. Seola stood stunned, not knowing why the lady is crying because of her. Kiyeon stepped away and smiled encouragingly. Suryeon loosened her arms and wiped Seola's hair out of her face.
