Sohyun~

"Hey, look what I got for our trip!" Beomgyu proudly said as he showed me his new camcorder. We're about to board the plane for our quick trip to Jeju.

"You really came prepared." My mom commented and he laughed.

We were seated in business class, Beomgyu beside me. Even though the seats were already pretty comfy, I still went closer so that I could rest my head on his shoulders. I put my hand in his, our fingers interlocked as we rested.

He recorded a few clips of us in the airplane, telling me that he's going to compile everything and make a vlog from this trip. Beomgyu actually wants to start documenting our relationship from now on- apparently, so that we could have a cute montage on our wedding reception one day. That made my heart flutter... being included in his future plans.

Once we got to our destination, our first stop was at the hotel so that we can drop off our luggage. My mom made a risky move by letting Beomgyu and I stay in a room together... things can happen.

"It already happened before, why are you still nervous around me?" He hugged me from behind. Did he just read my mind?

"I'm not!" I swallowed the bump in my throat, making him smirk. My boyfriend suddenly began walking closer to me, until I found myself falling back onto the bed. He placed his lips on my jawline making me shudder, before outlining the zipper of my pants with his fingers.

"Do you want me to stop?" His breath was hot against my neck.

"My mom is next door..." I whispered. "But don't stop now."

"Hi mom!" I greeted Sohyun's mother happily, since she assured me that I'm allowed to address her that way.

"Did you two have a good sleep?" She smiled with her eyes.

"Uhh... kinda. Yeah." My girlfriend blushed, avoiding any eye contact with either me or her mother.

We had some breakfast with small talk, mostly her mom interrogating me. I know she just wants the best for her daughter, so I'm making sure she knows I only have good intentions.

"You've really grown up so fast! If only Taehyun was here..." everyone's faces dropped and it became awkwardly silent. She probably couldn't help it.

"He used to love coming here," Sohyun mumbled. "Taehyun would ask you and dad to take him here every year. We would try and build castles, but it's mostly just rocks so it would quickly fall down. You took him here every birthday... which would have been today."

"He would have been in university now. Maybe even graduated." Her mom let out a pained smile.

"We didn't go here during his last birthday though. Where were you and dad?" Sohyun curiously asked and her face dropped.

"Trying to clear out his scandal." She whispered under her breath.

"Oh."

The atmosphere was a bit heavy after, so I took Sohyun out for a little walk. We held hands while walking along the beach, Sohyun trying to keep in her tears. I know she feels burdened right now.

"Look here," I made her face me. I put my hand over my chest and started rubbing it in circles. "When your heart hurts, do this. It soothes the pain."

"It does?" She tried to copy me and her worried expression began to soften. "It really does."

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked and she nodded. We sat on a big rock and closed our eyes to listen to the waves of the ocean.

"Taehyun was madly in love with some girl who practically just dated him to ruin his life. She basically set him up- used him as bait for some stupid bet. He got involved with drugs and alcohol... then she told everyone he raped her. He was drunk that night, so he was also confused if he actually did. She got him drunk and even her friends came forward and said it never actually happened... but it was too late."

"That's really horrible, he must have endured a lot. Have you met that girl?" I probably shouldn't have asked.

"No, I haven't. If I meet her..." she looked down and her jaw clenched. "She may end up going to hell. I only have her name and know that she graduated from our school."

"If you don't mind me asking, what is it?" My curiosity is getting the best of me. I know a lot of gangs, so I may have an idea.

"Choi Yoojin." Sohyun mumbled under her breath.

No way... it can't be.

My sister.

My own sister killed my girlfriend's brother.
