In the train, I sat with Frypan and Thomas. They were hyperactive as hell, while I just looked out of the window, fidgeting with the hair tie around my wrist a bit.

Telling Minho part of what happened was the best relief I felt in a long time, but it still hadn't changed how upset I was.

If Aiden was ready to send a friend that appeared to be a cop after me to get his money, he was going far for it. I was even more afraid for Greece now, mostly because I didn't want to lose Minho or my friends with all this drama.

I thought about all this, until Thomas tapped me on the shoulder so I could tell him what bag he wanted to buy looked better. I told him my answer casually.

Then his phone went off. "Hey, Mom." A pause. "Mhm. On our way to France. How are you doing? Great. I'm good, too. Excited for Paris." A longer pause. "Oh, really? Can I talk to her?"

I shared a glance with Fry, who shrugged and didn't seem bothered by who Thomas wanted to talk to.

"Hey, Nari!" He greeted cheerfully. "How are you? Really? That's so cool!" He gasped. "Oh, now I wanna go back to the US... yes, I'll be back in a while. How is it there? Good? Amazing! Huh, can you spell it for me? Ohh, wow. Grown? How long is it? What! That long? Holy, Nari!" A longer pause. "Yeah, okay. Bye! And bye to you too, Mom."

And he put the phone down again. Curiosity let me flop out, "Who was that?"

"Nari."

I palmed my face. "How am I supposed to know who Nari is?"

His mouth dropped open. "You don't know who Nari is?"

God, it only became more confusing by the second. I shrugged, "No. I don't."

"Does that boy ever tell you anything?" Thomas muttered to himself. "Everyone knows who that is. Even my parents... Aris, Teresa, not saying that they all met her, but they definitely know she exists. Why didn't he tell you? I thought you two were this super close couple or whatever!"

"Thomas, just tell me who she is. And who didn't tell me what?"

"Nari is Minho's girlfriend."

The color drained away from my face. I nearly choked on nothing. "What?"

"Yep. Sorry." He looked down, rubbing his chin as my heart dropped.

"His girlfriend?"

"No."

"What?"

"I was kidding." He let out a laugh. "Of course it's not his girlfriend, jeez! Ah, your face!" He chuckled.

I wanted to kick him where the sun didn't shine.
"But who is she?"

"Minho's sister!"

Now it was my mouth's turn to drop open. No way. Minho had a sister and he didn't even bother telling me? In shock, I stared at Thomas.

"Yep, Spider-Man, he has a sister. And she's so cute!" He peeped.

"How old is she?"
