XXXVIII- UNDER THE STARS

********************

My heart beat increases as I hear more and more of dad's words..

The more he continues... The more is the power of the shock that strikes me like a wave.

"When are you going to tell y/n..that you killed Victor?!"

Was the question Jimin had asked my father. And my world had turned inside out.

My breathing certainty becoming more rabid as I couldn't fathom the emotions erupting inside me..

Anger? Sadness? Confusion? Shame?

And for someone who has spent her entire life avoiding such emotions...I didn't know what to do with them now.

"I don't know Jimin. Its not like that's the only thing which needs to be told!"

What?

"It's okay Connor, I'm sure she'll atleast try to understand. You're not alone. I was also a part of it on every step beside you. And I will remain to be" Says mom

I take deep breath in.

"But how can I tell her that– how can a father tell her daughter that the most exciting thing in his life is killing people?!"

"How do I tell her that I have killed more people with my bare hands than she has met in her entire life!"

An inaudible gasp leaves my lips as I cover my mouth. Not wanting to be spotted just yet.

I don't know why I am surprised though, it's not that deep down I wasn't aware..I was just ignoring..

One may say ignorance is a bliss, it is. Until you are to face the truth. Then this same ignorance comes to bites you painfully hard in the ass.

"I know, and with how we have raised her... It would be hard to make her understand our ways.. this world's way... but we'll get through it."

States mom.

"But Sir, won't delaying it only make the matters worse?"

I raise my eyes to Jimin who had once again questioned my dad.

He seems to be having alot of guts today.. but I don't linger my mind there and rather appreciate the little sense of honesty his questions were bringing

I turn my eyes on my dad, waiting for his reply but another voice cuts in..

"I don't think that is a good idea.. we saw how y/n reacted to so little news before and this time it's nothing compared to what she has been told before, so we have to be gentle about it!"

Taehyung adds taking me completely off gaurd by his point. Cause deep down I know he isn't wrong.

But, I don't think my mind is going to allow me to think that deep at the moment. So I just take offense in how they look at me like I'm some baby that needs to be taken care off all the time.

"Yes, and knowing y/n.. her non-understanding can lead to decisions that are never good. For anyone!" Adds mom.

"And if I can interject.. y/n's rash decisions can sometimes lead to problems which we may not want to face as of now!"
