GRENADE

realization

flabbergasted. he was flabbergasted. kylian couldn't believe it.
all for this ?
no way...
he was HER BROTHER ?
her fucking brother ? 

Eduardo and Aurélien next to him were laughing their asses off. As for Ben and Kai, they were holding back their laughter to avoid hurting the French footballer's ego.

"they have the same last name, they're both american of korean origin, they look a bit alike, and you're going to look for something as complicated as that ? it's pretty twisted" added gue-sung with irony.

Eduardo felt foolish in his turn, why hadn't he made the connection with that...

"and you could have asked kepa too, he's already met him" the korean added, remembering the story the spaniard had posted on his instagram account.

"damn right..." eduardo had never felt so stupid as that, he hadn't thought about it.

As for Kylian, he said nothing, ashamed, ashamed of what he'd told him. He'd never felt so bad. He was racked with remorse.
Why did he have to act like an idiot all the time without thinking ?
But at the same time, to Kylian it seemed so logical that he was Achilles' father, but now that he'd heard what Gue-sung had said, it was completely absurd. Everything make sense. 

Kylian couldn't stop looking at the woman whose heart he'd broken. She still had that lovely smile on her face, with her brother at her side carrying Achille. The little boy noticed Kylian and waved. Kylian smiled back before waving back. Then the little boy turned to his mother before whispering something in her ear which made Camélia turn her head in Kylian's direction.

"have you met joshua ?" asked primavera as she reached her husband, before kissing him quickly on the lips, aurélien put his arm around her waist

"uhm, not yet" replied eduardo rather awkwardly, with a certain embarrassment in his voice.

Fortunately, the discussion quickly changed, as aurélien and primavera told the other two couples how their honeymoon had gone. And even if Kylian tried to listen, his head wasn't in it. And neither was Eduardo, for that matter.

"You should go and talk to him, and say it was all a misunderstanding."

"I can't say that, I was simply mean and despicable with her, she even ended up blocking me"

"Yes, I know that, but it's up to you to make up for your mistakes ! It's certainly not up to her to make the first move, especially after what you've said to her" camavinga pointed out.

"But how can I talk to her after all the horrible things I've said to her? I'm too ashamed!" Kylian replied, trying not to raise his voice.

"listen I can't do it for you, but you absolutely must explain to her everything that's been going on in your brain, maybe she'll understand, I say maybe, because you've been behaving like an idiot with her"

He sincerely loved this woman, but he had to ruin everything because of his fucking doubts.

"you have to swallow your pride and talk to her, you owe her that much, especially since you didn't leave her any explanations, and then she'll be tempted to listen to you because she needs those explanations".

Kylian was so focused on what he had to do that he paid no attention to the glass of champagne that spilled over him and refreshed his spirits.

"shit..." he said, so kylian made his way to the men's room, where he heard a woman's voice he immediately recognized.

"achille, tell me when you're done". she said with a voice as sweet as honey

"yes mom"

kylian took a deep breath before entering the bathroom, never before had he felt so nervous about doing this. achille came out just then and saw the psg footballer, rushing over to him and hugging his legs, camélia turned and saw kylian standing just a few steps behind her. the young woman was petrified and frozen, she didn't know how to react at that very moment

"achille comes to wash your hands" was all the woman said, and achille pouted before obeying her mother.

"camélia can we talk ?" kylian decided to get straight to the point instead of setting up an even more awkward atmosphere by saying "hi are you okay since I talked to you like a little shit?"

"I don't know kylian, I'm pretty busy and I need to keep an eye on achille" she lied about being busy even though it was true that she had to look after her son

achille, who didn't really understand what was going on between them, decided to intervene.

"mommy, I can go and see shua while you talk to mister mbappé if you want".

at that moment kylian had never adored achille so much. 

"thanks buddy."
