Iris
I don't know where this is going and I don't know how long I can keep up with this act. I hate lying to my father, while he's happy that I found someone that I love, he doesn't know the ugly truth behind the blinding lies.
I can't help but feel guilty as I watch Dad bonding with Taehyung and chatting like they are old friends. Maybe if it was two years ago, I would've been over the moon with happiness, but it's now, and now this feels wrong.
There's also Matteo... He's sitting there like he's an intruder as if he doesn't belong here with us, and I feel like I'm the worst person ever for doing that to him.
"What are you thinking?", Laura questions, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"I'm just happy that Dad and Taehyung are getting along", I lie. Well, it's not a complete lie, half of it is true.
"Seems like Chris really liked your boyfriend", Laura smirks. She's confirming my wandering questions, it's rare for Dad to be this talkative with someone, let alone one of his daughter's boyfriends. Fake boyfriend.
"Yeah", I agree and focus back on cutting the strawberries for the fruit salad.
"I know that something is occupying your mind, so I'm not going to pry. But if you ever feel like you need to talk, I'm ready to listen", Laura whispers.
"Thank you, Laura", I smile, genuinely this time.
I'm really grateful for her presence in our life. She makes my father happy, she's always there for me and my sister, and for that, I'm really thankful.
As we're busy preparing breakfast, my phone rings, and I reach for it to see who's calling me. It's Leah.
"Yes, Leah", I answer.
"Good morning, Ms. Iris. Aren't you coming to the fashion house today?"
"No. Not today."
"I figured because you usually come here early in the morning... Umm... Can't you pass by at least, just for a few minutes?", she rambles. Something's up.
"What's wrong, Leah?", I ask.
"There's a tiny problem at the fashion house, and well, it's not going away. So, if you could just come and check it out real quick!", she babbles.
I'm losing my patience here, and if I have to shout at one more person today, I'm going to lose it...
Speak of the devil, he makes his way to me with my father, Matteo, Jungkook, and Jimin tagging behind.
"What's wrong?", he frowns.
"Get to the point, Leah."
"Ms. Iris, please calm down and-"
"For the love of God just get over with it Leah!", I yell through the phone.
"Okay", she winces.
Dad signals for me to give him the phone and I gladly oblige, I can't deal with her shit right now! I already have a lot on my plate...
