A Family Of Three Plus Two

CHAPTER 28

SEULGI

After that devastating week we've had, now that Seungwan, Sooyoung and Leo are safe we can now finally breathe, right? But how come, I can't? It's still scared me, that something might happened to them, especially after Sooyoung cries in my arms telling me that she was touch by that man, I can't help but blamed myself, if only I stayed by their side that day, they wouldn't be kidnapped and Yerim wouldn't get into that accident. I know she's awake and the doctor told us that everything is okay, except those healing broken bones that every time she moved hurts her that made her cry. And it doesn't help that Sooyoung and Seungwan are so quiet these days.

"Seulgi..."- Solar called me, and it also doesn't help that my best friend wants Seungwan to stay with them.

"I told you, Lar, Wannie is much safer with us. Those guys are still out there."- I said, she's been nagging me about it. And I don't know what's up with her. "But, what's happening to you? I know you were worried and all, but it's not so you."

"*Sigh* I told you, I don't trust all of them."- she said, when she says them, she's pertaining to Joohyun and her cousins.

"And why is that? Care to tell me more about this trust issue you have with them?"- I asked confused, because if I remember correctly, before everything happens, she's still on good terms with them, not until after my birthday. Something changed, especially to Wannie.

"*Sigh* I promised Seungwan not to tell you."- that got me more curious.

"You got me more curious about it, Lar. Tell me what this is about? Because, you're starting to annoy me with that attitude of yours, Joohyun is my wife and she is Seungwan's mother too."- I reminded her. She scoffs at what I say.

"Mother? Really? Did she really treat Wannie like her own daughter?"- she asked, and it confused me. "Are you that blind, that you can't even see what's happening with your own daughter Seulgi? Or do you love Irene's daughters more?"- she said.

"You know how much I loved Seungwan, I loved them all the same."- I frowned and faced her. "Tell me, what is this all about?"

"Seungwan, told me something."- she starts and I stay quiet. "When Irene brought them to the mall, do you still remember?"- she asked and I try to remember it, I think it was before that photoshoot, it was the last time Seungwan, went with Joohyun at the mall, we didn't question it, but now that I think about it, Seungwan changed and avoid Joohyun.

"Did something happen at that time? Joohyun, didn't tell me anything."- I said.

"Seungwan, heard Irene that time talking to Jackson, telling him something that she didn't want anyone to know about Seungwan. And when they eat, there is this man, asking about who she is, but your wife didn't even introduce her as her daughter too. Imagine, how Seungwan felt that day? She isn't the one to tell you these things Seulgi, you know how shy she is, and how hard for her to just stay at the house she doesn't even belong too."- Solar.

"She belongs there, she's our daughter, Lar."- I said as I was still absorbing everything.

"Well, you think like that, but what about Irene? Seulgi, you know your own daughter, she had a hard time coping in that house, even though you see her play and enjoying with her sisters. Wannie always calls us just to tell us how much she misses us and our house. Especially, since your attention isn't on her, you put too much attention to Irene's daughters than yours, Seulgi. Seungwan, she's like my daughter too, hearing her told me those things, I swear I wanted to slap Irene for making Seungwan feel like she doesn't belong with them."- she said as she whisper something I didn't hear. "And you seems to forget your own daughters birthday. *Whispers*."
