CHAPTER THIRTY: Confession

˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡˚

— HAN YUJIN

"I fucking found it!" He shouted, his voice ringing in the air as multiple footsteps dashed towards it. "Gyuvin isn't here, but I found it." Yujin wiped his head in relief and ran towards her room.

Taerae and the staff followed in desperation and silence as the sound of the key unlocking the door was heard. Yujin hesitantly turned the handle and once he saw the room, he lost his voice. Nothing came out of his mouth and Taerae peeked in.

The view was unexpected — Yunmi was sleeping in her bed, but all of the bottles were full on the desk. Her room was a mess and it was clear she was bed rotting this whole time. Tissue was littered across her bedroom floor and she seemed to be looking calm despite the room conditions.

Taerae ran inside and shook Yunmi's body in worry. "Yunmi???" He watched as she groaned a little and moved, causing him to sigh in relief. "Oh my days..." Yujin and the staff joined in and walked in, the maids immediately gawking at the sight of the messy room.

Yunmi's eyes opened slowly and she immediately sat up. "How the fuck did you get in?" She moved back in surprise. "Why does everyone always have to save me in such situations?" She crossed her arms. "I'd genuinely rather die here right now."

Yujin raised a brow. "Shut up I literally thought you died for the second time you silly little idiot." He sat on the bed next to her and glanced at the bottles. "What's with the booze? I'm just surprised that it's all full. Were you going to drink it all or something?"

The girl didn't respond immediately and sighed. "Okay well maybe I was, but I wasn't going to straight away." She glanced at the multiple bottles that the maids were picking up. "I just needed something that would've took my mind off of what happened." She gulped, now looking down in guilt. "I'm sorry for making you worry, I just didn't know what to do."

Yujin embraced his sister and buried his face into her shoulder. "This is really embarrassing but you've been making me so worried lately you stupid bitch."

She chuckled a little and pat his head. "I'm sorry..." She glanced up at Taerae. "A lot has happened recently, I don't know how to deal with things when a lot of weird shit happens to me"

Taerae sighed and sat down next to her. "It's fine, I'd understand that you're overwhelmed. The case is still going on however.." He glanced at his phone. "Oh, I'm getting a phone call from Hanbin." He stood up straight and smiled at the two. "Sorry to leave so early, I'll be back here tomorrow morning. Don't play another scary stunt again, okay?" He patted her shoulder before walking off and saying a distant "Hello?".

Yujin let go of his sister and leaned back. "Okay, now that you're like here..." He watched as the last maid left the room and shut the door. "Care to tell me what the hell was this episode about?"

She sighed and laid down on her bed. "Okay, I'm telling you something that's like life threatening so you seriously can't tell anyone this." She turned to look at him and he simply nodded. "I was being alone here because I was arguing with myself whether to tell you or not."

"Okayyy, and what is it?" He lifted a brow and sat up more straight. He didn't know what to expect at all, and his fear grew every second. He wasn't so sure what Yunmi was about to divulge but he wasn't the slightest bit excited once he saw her face.
