Tainted Heart

Chapter 33

The next day,

Twilight was recording dance practice video for their youtube channel. They finished the recording without mistake. The staff cheered and clapped for them for that. Moon, as a dance leader, turned around and appreciated others. Everyone was happy except Haejin and Yunhee. They both went away without talking to her and having an upset face. That surprised her for a moment but she didn't react.

Bora whispered to Soul and Aerum, "Yunhee eonnie, I understand. But what happened to Haejin eonnie?"

Soul whispered back, "Haejin eonnie and Beom Seok had a fight yesterday."

"Wae? Wae?" Yerin asked in a low tone.

"Haejin eonnie asked Beom Seok about the fact that Moon eonnie didn't love Yoongi sunbae-nim or pretending that. Beom Seok didn't say much. So Haejin said for him only Moon mattered not her and in anger, she asked for breakup. Beon Seok said okay." Soul whispered back.

"What the fuck?" Yerin gasped.

"I don't blame Beom Seok tho. He was really calm and properly giving his reasons. He didn't want to break up tho. I am pretty sure they will patch up." Aerum whispered.

All the time, they were whispering but Moon heard all of that. Moon excused herself from them and went to her studio. She called Beom Seok. After one or two rings, Beom Seok picked up the call.

"Noona...." Beom Seok's exciting voice came through the phone.

"What happened between you and Haejin?" Moon asked strictly.

"How-...that's nothing. Nothing happened. " Beom Seok stuttered.

"Is it because of me?" She asked.

"Ani, noona. Couples tend to fight. It's normal. Nothing happened because of you." Beom hurriedly replied.

"You will come to Seoul and talk to her. Apologise her and patch up with her." Moon said.

"Noona...don't worry about it. I will take care of it." Beom replied.

"Beomie...I won't be there with you always even if I want to. Your partner will be there for you always. So do not lose her that easily. Specially not because of other, not because of someone like me." Moon explained.

"Can you shut up and stop blaming yourself? Nothing happened because of you. Did you hear me?" Beom asked.

"If you don't want me to blame myself, sort it out." She said and cut the call as she felt her eyes filled with tears and her voice cracking.

She closed her eyes and let her tears fall down. "12." she muttered.

The night before Moon returned to Seoul,

Miyeon was sitting alone at nana's restaurant holding a glass of wine. She looked around and then stared at the pictures hanging on wall.

"Sorry....sorry. Got late." The door opened as Ryung entered. He took off his long jacket and put it on a chair and took a seat opposite Miyeon.

"Where's others?" Ryung asked.

"Seojun had to go to London because of some deal at the last moment and the rest you know, Sun-young had to go some village with the students." Miyeon replied taking a sip from her glass.

"Right. I forgot. You will be gone tomorrow too. I was busy the whole day. Probably this is what growing up looks like." Ryung chuckled pouring himself a glass of wine.

"Seems like that." Miyeon gulped down the rest of the wine in her glass.

"Since when you are drinking here alone." Ryung asked.
