Can This Last Forever

Chapter 10

"How's Rona's mother?"

Mirae asked Logan as she sat in his hotel room. Whenever Logan came to Korea, his hotel room was like Mirae's second home.

"I'm sure she's feeling quite betrayed right now"

Logan said looking up from his phone towards Mirae.

"She isn't you know thinking about making a stupid decision right?"

"She was but I think I've stopped her for now"

Logan said looking back at his phone.

"You know I absolutely hated that woman when I found out that she had pushed Min Seol Ah off the building, I feel really sorry for her now. At that time I wanted her to feel the same way Min Seol Ah's mother felt but now that that's happened I began to realize I didn't actually want that to happen to her"

Mirae said. Even to her those words made no sense. She couldn't really put her feelings into words right now. Part of her wanted to go to Oh Yoon Hee and say how does it feel now that your daughters also gone, but that such a tiny part of her wanted that, that part was almost non-existent.

"I get what you're trying to say"

Logan said to Mirae as he looked at the girl who was sitting in front of him and looking down at the floor.

"Ok I'm going to go I need to meet up with someone"

Mirae said standing up.

"Kim Mirae, remember not to do something too dangerous"

Logan said. He knew Mirae was going to expose the real murderer no matter what he said; he just wanted to make sure she didn't do anything too harsh.

"Don't worry, I have a pretty good plan"

Mirae said smirking to herself before leaving the room.

"Ha Eunbyeol!"

Mirae called out to the girl who was walking towards her class.

"Oh Kim Mirae, why did you call me?"

Eunbyeol looked back at Mirae with an innocent look on her face.

"You haven't been to school these days are you alright?"

Mirae asked the girl with a fake smile on her face.

"I was just feeling sick so I was in the hospital for some time, Mirae ah I heard about Rona you must be upset"

Eunbyeol said the innocent look not leaving her face and annoying Mirae a lot.

"I wanted to ask you about that day, where were you before they announced the results."

"Oh I was feeling sick so I was in the infirmary, why do you ask?"

"Did you not see Rona at all?"

"Not that I remember"

Eunbyeol said tilting her head in confusion. Mirae looked at the girl clearly confused as well. Did Eunbyeol not remember anything from that night? Was she really at the infirmary as her mother told her? Mirae needed to find those answers.

"Eunbyeol come with me"

Mirae said grabbing the girl's wrist and pulling her in an empty room.

"What's going on Mirae?"

Eunbyeol asked the girl still confused.

"I need to tell you something Seokhoon told me"

Mirae said faking look of excitement. Mirae knew what she was about to do may be going too far, she just hoped Seokhoon was fine with it.

"What did he say?"

"He told me the thing you said to him on the staircase outside, do you remember what you said to him that night?"

"No I don't what did I say?"

"I don't think I can tell you, but if you forgot about it then Seokhoon would probably forget about it too. The thing you said really impressed him, he was telling me how amazing you are afterwards. Plus he told me he'd be waiting for you to bring up the topic again then you guys can talk about it"

"What did I say to him?"

Eunbyeol said lightly tapping her head to remember. Mirae looked satisfied as she saw the girl straining herself to remember.

"I have to go now, but make sure you remember what you said to him, I'm rooting for you Ha Eunbyeol"

Mirae said smiling at Eunbyeol before leaving the room. Now all she had to do was look for Seokhoon and confess to him what she had done, she hoped he wouldn't mind it much.

"First you need to hear what Seokyung said to me"

Seokhoon said to Mirae. Mirae had called Seokhoon and told him to go out for milkshakes with her in hopes of talking to him but instead Seokhoon interrupted her wanted to say something before her.

"What did she say?"

"Seokyung thinks Eunbyeol killed Bae Rona, what do you think about that?"

Seokhoon said looking at Mirae waiting for her reaction.

"Well, I also think Eunbyeol might have something to do with it, actually no I'm sure she had something to do with it"

Mirae replied taking a sip from her milkshake before continuing.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, I might have done something you might not like"

Seokhoon looked at her waiting for her to tell him what she did. Mirae sighed before telling him everything that happened earlier.

"I'm really sorry, if you don't like it I could do something, I'm stupid I should have asked you first and then done something..."

"Mirae let me speak"

Seokhoon interrupted the girl who looked at him wondering what he wanted to say. After telling Seokhoon everything she felt that she really did a wrong thing.

"I didn't know you're brain could work in such a way. It's a great plan to get Eunbyeol to remember everything again. Since when did you get so sneaky?"

Seokhoon asked the girl still amazed by how Mirae came up with the plan. To him Mirae was always the innocent one who didn't like deceiving others much but here things seemed very different than he used to think.

"I'm best friends with Joo Seokyung, I pick up some stuff"

Mirae said glad that Seokhoon wasn't angry.

"I'm seeing the Joo Seokyung side of you now and I'm not sure if I like it or not"

Seokhoon said. Mirae playfully rolled her eyes as Seokhoon started laughing at her reaction. Mirae was changing. Everyone around her could see it, she wasn't the same Mirae she was but as they same change is inevitable everyone changes at some point, Mirae's point was now.
