Fingertips dance on keyboard so perfectly, following a rhythm that he has created long ago.
La El leans against the chair, her foot tapping anxiously as she watches her best friend.
There was playing piano, but there was also hacking. Kwon Jae seemed to be a genius when it came to the latter, she stared at the unknown and confusing words on the screen.
" Why are you so quiet? " She mumbled with a small frown, " It's edging me. "
" I just need to show you something, La El-ah. " He sighs, and it's the fact that she has never heard him sound so serious and gray about whatever he knows.
He knows something and he's not telling her, instead, he wants to show her. Deep down, she knows it's something she refuses to accept, but that's what she'll be seeing.
She sighs shakily as Jae leans back, slightly leaning aside from the screen to reveal a few pictures. " Look what I found when you told me everything..."
" T-That's..."
" You. " Jae sighs softly, squeezing her hand reassuringly, " La El, you've been lied to. But it wasn't Bangtan. There's too much you need to know but I'm not the right person to tell you everything. "
She shakes her head, staring at the picture of her and— no, the picture of Y/n and Jin just somewhere.
There's a feeling lingering there, she doesn't like the fact that she's seeing this, as if its someone else is in his arms, but that's secondary.
" That's not me. "
" It is you. " Jae bites his lip, " You won't believe anyone, but you trust me, right? I won't lie to you, La El. Ever. "
" H-How? Why? " She blinked, her eyes burning. " Jae, this is not possible! I-I don't recall anything—"
" I know. " Kwon Jae sighs, pulling out a document from the nearby shelf, " And these are the reports of the medication you've been taking. The problem was those drugs kept you from recalling things...I'm so sorry, La El-ah. You've been through so much. "
La El still refused to believe it, curling against the older as he hugged her, she doesn't want to believe any of it. She feels like ignoring everyone and just running away.
" hey..." Jae pats her head, " I know it's too much, but it won't be right unless you make it. I hate saying this, La El, but your father is not the person who's protecting you. "
" No. "
It might be hard for her to believe that, Kwon Jae knows, she's been trained to believe that her father is the one protecting her for three years, forcing the thought of Bangtan trying to kill her so long that she had believed it to be the truth.
" It will be okay. " He sighs, " Talk to one of them, someone who will tell you everything. I know it will be hard to trust, but believe me, you have to do it, La El. It will be too late if you wait. "
