Jahoon: Yujin unnie, we have to talk... Right now... Please...

My voice was slowly becoming smaller as I was getting more and more nervous. I was just hoping deep inside of me that I was wrong and it was just my mind running loose but with the evidence right now it seemed like my worst fear was true. But if it really was then I just wanted to know why. Why did she lie to me like that, why did she have to tell Liz unnie before I could, and why wasn't she protecting me or helping me when my relationship with Liz unnie was turning for the worse? So many questions were running around in my mind but I had to try my best to keep my cold. If everything was true, I couldn't show my cards just yet or else she would just back off and do everything in her power to gaslight me into believing that she didn't have anything to do with it. Yujin unnie nodded at me with a confused look on her face and followed me into a room so that we could talk in private.

Yujin: So what do you want to talk about? It must be something important for you to personally come here late at night...

Jahoon: There is something that I have been thinking about. Please don't think that I'm accusing you or something.

Yujin: Okay~... Making me a little bit worried but go on.

Jahoon: It's just because I bumped into Seeun again today and we talked about what happened. She also told me that... You knew about this whole situation before I told you about it. That you were the one to tell Liz unnie about it and not her. Please tell me that she is lying and that it is not true.

I looked at Yujin unnie with anticipation, hoping that she would deny everything immediately but she just looked at me with a blank look, not saying anything. I was growing more and more nervous by the minute that passed.

Yujin: You are right. I was the one that told Liz about everything. I heard it the day that I went to hang out with Yoon. Seeun came back home and told the other girls about it and I managed to hear it.

I looked at Yujin unnie shocked. So she had really lied to me? But why? Why now? She had never lied to me before. Or has she? I don't even know anymore. I wanted to ask her why she lied to me, why she did it, why she didn't tell me. I had so many questions on my mind that I wanted to ask her but the only thing that came out of my mouth were:

Jahoon: Why?

Yujin: It was the best thing to do. Liz didn't deserve to be left clueless in the dark like that. I knew that you were never going to do it yourself and I even got my suspicion confirmed by Seeun. She said that you wanted to keep it a secret from every one of us.

Yujin unnie looked at me nonchalantly like it wasn't a big deal or anything. It even seemed like she beginning to get angry at me. I couldn't believe that she didn't have any trust in me! She just instantly thought that I would not tell Liz unnie about it. She believed another person's words instead of her own member's words, the one that she had been living with 24/7 for the past decade.

Jahoon: I can't believe you right now... Why did you keep it a secret from me then? Why didn't you confront me at that time? Why didn't you just tell me the truth instead of lying?

Yujin: Because I know that you will just act irrationally without thinking about the others. Also, you act unreasonably if you don't get your way. Everyone is beginning to get tired of having to fulfill every one of your demands.
