Inconceivable

TWENTY-TWO

I just blankly stared at him without splitting any word.

His eyes travelled through my head to toe , checking me out.

I felt kinda awkward and tried hard to avoided his irresistible gaze.

Soobin let go of my wrist and spoke to Yeonjun,

"She can join us, right? "

Yeonjun fastly replied,

"Obviously, let's go inside"

While heading inside, a large photo frame which was placed on the wall, beside the staircase, took my full attention.

My eyes got fixed on it, observing the picture.

In the picture, there was a middle aged couple. They seemed to be husband and wife. The husband was surely handsome. He had a dark pair of eyes and a serious face, without any emotion... The woman had a lovely smile on her face. She obviously was heavenly gorgeous. Her eyes expressed a thousand hopes.

I kept looking at the picture until Yeonjun patted me on my shoulder, breaking my concentration. He spoke ,

"Aren't you gonna come inside? "

Taking a short glance at him, I took my eyesight again at the picture.

"Who are they? "

I heard him chuckling after hearing my question. He spoke while taking his eyes on the picture,

"They are my parents."

"Oh"- emitted from my mouth. Eyeing at him, I managed to ask again,

" Don't they live with you? "

His facial expression was calm, still staring at the picture while speaking,

"My father is currently out of the town for some specific works and... My mother... "

He was paused, that made me look at him with curiosity, waiting for his answer.

"She has passed away about 15 years ago.. "

I took my eager eyes away from Yeonjun and fixed my gaze at the picture again..

"Well, sorry to hear that"

Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist, making me flinch because of the unexpected touch.

"Let's go inside"

With that, he dragged me inside, and I cannot help following him.

Entering the living room, I found Taehyun, Huening Kai and Beomgyu sitting on the couch, laughing.

Seeing me, their laughter got paused as three of them fixed their eyes on me with a wondered face reaction.

"This is Ji-hae"- Yeonjun spoke while sitting beside them, while I kept standing, completely clueless.

Beomgyu waved at me,

"We've met before! I'm Beomgyu! "

Woah.. He's really friendly... Isn't he the one who doesn't come to school often?.. Yes, he is the one.

I didn't know what to do or what to say.. Maybe a smile would be right?

With a smile, I spoke,

"Oh, I'm Ji-hae! Nice to meet you guys."
