GATEWAY 🝔 LEE JENO

🝔 2.27

Emotionless features, Jisung sat face to face in front of Ga-eun with an unreadable expression. She couldn't understand why he was fiercely looking at her. She began to feel goosebumps along her spine.

Stroking the fur of the kitten in her lap, Ga-eun tilted her head to the side. Raising a brow she displayed a questioning look. Jisung just took a few deep inhales before running his hand over his face. "Jisung what is it?" she quietly asked, sensing something strangely off. Eventually letting out a determined breath he blurted out before he could take it back. "I'm leaving"

Frightened as to what Ga-eun would say, he screwed his eyes tight not looking at her. However, he heard not even a peep of her voice involuntarily making him lift one eyelid to find a blank expression.

Stunned, his jaw slightly opened in shock. "Are you not going to say anything?" slowly the girl shook her head. "I have nothing to say. I already knew that you would leave. You love Narva too much. I just didn't expect it to be so soon" pressing his lips firmly together he clasped his large palms together staring at the floor. "Are you not upset?"

At his ridiculous question she scoffed before flicking his forehead. "Of course I am. You're my brother. Why wouldn't I be?" giving a soft smile she placed the kitten on the side before sitting beside the younger boy. "It hurts that you're leaving. It feels just like the time when you decided to become a Phoenix rider." she remembered when he had to leave for the hard core training. When he was informed how he would be staying at the training camp Ga-eun did not speak to the boy for a week. Upset that it's only going to be her and her mother alone. "I won't force you to stay here Jisung"

Biting his lip he felt tears pricking his eyes. Agonised that he is leaving his family. He didn't want to but he found no life in Korea compared to Narva where he has a set future. "I'll come visit again" he mumbled out in sorrow. Smiling softly, Ga-eun ruffled his hair. "I will as well"

Walking down the stairs, Jisung and Ga-eun glanced over to one another in confusion when spotting everyone sitting on the sofas with a serious expression. Approaching Jeno she sat beside him before whispering what was going on.

However, before the boy could answer, Hei-ran left towards the kitchen making Jia trail behind her angry friend to help her calm down. "Eunha is got married to Yoo deok-hwa" mark said, confusing both Ga-eun and Jisung.

"She got married?!" the younger boy yelled out in utter bewilderment. Slowly the Canadian boy nodded. "On top of that he is a rich man which I am not shocked about." he rubbed his forehead exasperatedly before chucking the newspaper over to Jisung who read the title. 

Scoffing out in disbelief he sat beside Ga-eun who also peeked over to it. She didn't know what to feel about this news. A part of her was questioning what her father was feeling. It was clear that he did not like Eunha but she got married to another man in such a short amount of time right after their divorce. 

It made her question how fake the lady was because she was so persistent in wanted to stay with her father before. Now she moved on to another as if he was just a used up lipstick of hers that ended. She didn't care as long as the person was loaded.

"She never changes," Jeno spat out, venom dripping from every word. At his abrupt change of demeanour, Ga-eun's eyes widened in shock. She had never seen Jeno so infuriated before. Stiffened muscles and clenched jaw, she could see his veins visibly trailing down his arm. Gulping she blinked a few times as soon as he flickered his sight over to her to find an astonished looking girl .

Immediately he relaxed, letting out a sigh. Raising his hand he pushed her fringe to the side, rubbing the scar above her left eyebrow. "But it might be a good thing. We don't have to worry about her anymore. She's out of our lives" he mumbled out. 

Even though Ga-eun kept silent about how she felt about Eunha, Jeno caught on how the older lady actually frightened her. Especially when she was telling them about the scar and how it was caused by Eunha. Ga-eun spoke in a tone which may deceive people to think that it doesn't bother her however, her body language said otherwise. 

He knew what she was feeling inside. Though it was just a hypothesis now it was confirmed. The rigid posture whenever talking about Eunha had disappeared as soon as Jeno mentioned how she will not bother them ever again. 

Apart from that Jeno was still dwelling over the fact that she was let go free for the crime she had committed. It happened so many years ago. 21 to be exact. There was still no evidence of her attempting to murder Jia and Ga-eun. 

Even if their was, it's not like she would be put in jail. There's a high chance that Eunha would just pay the judge to let her go or frame her as innocent. Yohan once mentioned to Jeno how he wished to have recorded her when she accidentally confessed the truth to him. 

He regrets it to this day but he can't do much about it. However, Yohan believes that Eunha will be cursed for her sins. No one is left to live in peace after the wrong doings they do and he knows that she will fall into the depths of hell when the time comes.
