Chapter = 40

" Ms. Kim? What are you doing here? "

Aerae asked Mi-seol in cold voice, she just wanted to murder Min-shi after knowing whatever happened in her absence. Her eyes got filled with tears, remembering the weak body of her brother laying on ground emotionlessly. Mi-seol stare at Aerae blankly.

" I want to meet Neong. Step aside. "

Mi-seol knew her words were making Aerae more angry but she had to meet Neong. Aerae knew it wasn't her fault but she just couldn't control the anger.

" Why?! Mi-seol Unnie! Your bitch sister did that much drama. Why are you here?! Want to spray salt on the wounds? Huh!? He loved her and she misunderstood him, didn't even let him explain.. "

Tears pour down her eyes, still she stepped aside, letting Mi-seol enter. Mi-seol patted her back and walk inside, behind her Woobin entered. He looked around the apartment when his eyes fell on Aerae who was staring at him silently. he blinked taking in her face features. Red blush appeared on his face, he immediately turned and followed Mi-seol to Woobin's room.

" How are you feeling now? "

Neong's red numb eyes meet Mi-seol's calm blank one. He blinked twice seeing her, he looked behind her thinking Min-shi also came with her. He felt a relief of wind blowing inside him but it stopped seeing Woobin coming inside behind Mi-seol. His heart broke at the sight. He looked at Mi-seol.

" Min-shi? W-where? "

Woobin felt pity for him, upon hearing the pain in his voice. How much he tries, pain was clear in his voice.

" She. She's not ready to talk to you. "

Woobin mumbled but Neong could hear him clearly. He looked down at his lap. Tears coming in his eyes, he clenched his fist tightly. He couldn't believe that he was still loving her. He wanted to hate her for hitting him hard with his worse past but he understands that it was misunderstanding.

" Neong. "

Neong didn't looked up, he could feel Mi-seol sitting on bed, near him still he didn't looked up. Mi-seol stared at him blankly.

" I'm here for two things. First, I apologise on behalf of whatever Min-shi did. "

Tears fell as Neong nodded quitely, Aerae who was standing behind Woobin frowned hearing her.

" No Unnie. Min-shi should be the one to apologise. "

" Min-shi just misunderstood you but I promise, she won't hurt you again. She'll apologize to you. I'll make her. "

Neong raised his head and stared at her who was blankly staring at the family photo which was hanging on wall.

" And? "

Mi-seol turned to him again.

" And I need some help. "

Aerae and Neong frowned hearing her. Aerae said.

" What help? "

" About your dead Parents. "

Somewhere else,

" She locked herself in her room from morning.. we didn't knew what to do, that's why we called you.. "

Seokjin said to In-youp who was staring at Min-shi's room door blankly. From morning, Min-shi refused to come out from her room. In-youp clenched his hands in anger, thinking about every possible way to kill Neong.

Taking her dinner from Seokjin's hands, he gave a reassuring nod to Seokjin who walked away, hoping Min-shi to get well soon. In-youp knocked on her door,there was a silence from other side.
