8: The Unknown and Unexpected Newcomers

"Welcome Back Miso dear..."

I gulped at my father's unexpected words and tone... He was just casually standing infront of me with a smile plastered on his face. Not a single speck of worry or anger while my brothers... They too had the same expressions...

"Appa... I-I..."

"Let's sit inside first. Then we can talk." He motioned me to get in and I followed him reluctantly with a confused yet relieved heart. The moment we reached inside, we sat down on the sofa in the living room.

There was a peaceful silence but not for me... For me, it was a quite disturbing yet awkward silence. I had too many questions flooded in my mind. There was nothing more than being curious and waiting for them to speak by it, themselves.

"How was your stay at Jisoo's?" Yoongi smiled while wiggling his eyebrows and showing off his gummy teeth.

Jisoo's house?

What...

"Jisoo's house? W-Why do you think so?" And once again, I cursed myself for stuttering. They just gave me blank looks before laughing out loud.

"True... We were really worried when you weren't returning but then Jisoo called us, and told us that you were at her house and guess what? She told us that you're gonna stay at her house for the night. Maybe she didn't call in your presence." Dad finished and chuckled while I was completely stunned.

I just nodded and passed them a smile, trying to act not so obvious.
Jisoo? Why did she do that? As much as I know, I never went to her house... I mean I didn't even tell her to say this to dad. Then why?

"O-Oh, yeah... It was really late and scary last night, so I decided to sleep at her house." I explained and they nodded in reply. Namjoon's dimple face soon got replaced by a frown. He looked at me all up and down before speaking.

"Miso? This is not your nightsuit... About Jisoo's... No way, this is too big for her, too. Who's nightsuit is this?"

Fuck your 148 IQ Namjoon-

"This is hers! Who else's would it even be!" I shouted out, speaking as fast as possible, denying all of their doubts.

"O... kay? Why shouting?" Namjoon shrugged his shoulders before looking back at the clock.

"Oh gosh, Miso! You're so late for school! Better hurry up!" Dad gasped before looking at me with wide eyes. Oh shit... School.

"Oh damn." I dashed towards the bathroom before cursing under my breath. I'm so doomed. Mr. Cha will kill me...

...

"Hey, Miso!" I flinched with the enthusiastic deep sound of a familiar person.

"J-Jisoo?" I exhaled out loudly, looking at her. Right... I had finally reached school now and there wasn't much crowd as everyone was in their respective classes by now.

What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class by now?" I asked her while biting my lips. Why is she late too?

"How are you?" She smiled casually as if she didn't know anything.

"I'm good. Um, Jisoo?" I inhaled sharply before watching the tall woman before me, whose hair was flying due to the cold wind and was reflecting a gold shade of yellow, which was perceived from the sun, making her look ethereal with her features.

"Yeah?" She questioned back, with slightly creased eyebrows.

"Why did you lie to dad and say that I'm staying at your house at night? I didn't even come to your house last night..." I asked, trying to be as calm as possible. This overwhelming curiosity in me could make me bombard her with all kinds of questions, but I decided to stay calm and hear her explanation. She may have a good reason too, right?
