MINYOUNG

"Emeri why are you here? Trying to be a good friend?" She rolled her eyes and ignored my question. Minseok nudges my elbow and clicked his tongue.

"I'm just a frank and straightforward person who does not keep secrets at all!" I yelled—with my voice echoing through the busy hall of the hospital.

"Yah, Minyoung, shut up. This isn't time for dissing other people." Soojung said beside me and glared at me. I rolled my eyes and

After endless of walking in an empty hallway, we have finally arrived at Sehun's room. Chanyeol didn't knock on the door, which surprised Baekhyun and Sehun who was waiting inside.

"Oh, hi Sehun. How are you? Feeling any good?" Chanyeol casually speaks. No wonder why he and Emeri got along so well. They almost have the same attitude. Sarcasm was visible in his tone, which is an Emeri-thing.

"Spit it, Baekhyun. I don't have all-day." Emeri says, sitting down on the couch with her arms and legs crossed. I roll my eyes.

"Uhm, how can I start this.." Baekhyun started to fidget in his position.

"You guys need to know something." Sehun starts. What is it this time?

"And this is about?" Jia asks.

"Suzy." By hearing that name, Emeri straightens up and becomes pale all of a sudden.

"Oh, well, then why call Emeri?" I said. She rolls her eyes and clear her throat.

"What about S-Suzy?" She stutters.

Sehun and Baekhyun glances at each other before one of them started to speak.

"Sehun has been set up by Suzy's father - and the video? The guy in the video is not him-"

"How can you say so? The video was blurry. Stop standing up for him, Baekhyun. We all know the truth." Emeri argues.

"Shut it, Emeri! I am so fed up with you!" Jia shouts across the room. She remains silent.

"It really wasn't me, noona! That time, I was with my sister. We were in a jewelry store buying a-a ring for Suzy. I- I was going to ask her to marry me. But all of you started to jump into conclusions. And that video? I would never do that with an older woman. I have respect to myself and to women. How can you think I could ever do such thing, noona?"

Emeri takes a deep breath and huffs.

"Oh my god, making a story still doesn't make you look like a naive person. Baekhyun, are you really believing what this person is saying? Why are you covering for his own fault? Let him suffer and let him be the whore he is!" Just then, the door flies open, revealing a tall, white woman with a formal suit on.

"Now I had heard enough, Miss." She walk towards Sehun's bed and hands Emeri a small card, which contains her identity.

"I'm Atty. Sooyeon, Sehun's sister." She innocently introduced.

"Hm. Having fun at embarrassing my brother and calling him such names?"  She laughs, making her more innocent and scarier.

"Uh- I-"

"No need to explain. I have heard everything you said. Now, what would you all like to know?" She smiles.

"May I know your name?" Minseok asks.

Sooyeon turns to Minseok with a frown,
"Haven't I already introduced myself a minute ago? It's your fault for not being attentive."

Minseok bows his head in apology as the woman turns to Emeri again.

"Now, I would like to ask Miss Emeri, here. You have such a beautiful name - but why have an ugly personality?" She chuckled, and sat on the chair beside Baekhyun.

"Tell me Emeri, how long have you been business partners with the Ohs?" Emeri gulped.

"Wait, what?" I blurted out.

"All right. I won't ask out of the topic questions anymore." Sooyeon laughs again. But, why the hell does she keep on laughing? It creeps me out!

"You know Emeri. If we're in the court right now - you're case would have been dismissed the moment you speak. You want to know why? It's because starting from your case up to what you are about to say - they are all useless and nonsense things. You can't jump into conclusions knowing that you do not have proper or accurate evidences to show." Indeed, an attorney.

"And butting in a couple's relationship is a bit unprofessional, don't you think? What you are doing is an act of unprofessionalism. Why bother on someone's life when you can just bother your own life? Think of your husband here who's probably craving some of your attention because all you do is put your full attention into some useless things that can probably ruin someone's life."

"Oh please, Miss Sooyeon. I have no idea of what you are talking about. I'm not part of Mr. Jaeseok's plans to kill Se-"

We all gasped.

Sooyeon smirks before standing up, "Well then, I think my business here is done, since Miss Emeri here already confessed her sins." She gives her brother a wave before walking out of the door.

There was an awkward atmosphere in developing in the room, when Suzy barged in the door.

"Sehun, I just saw your sister - oh." She stops when her eyes laid on us. Wait, why is she here?

"What are you guys d-doing here? Is something wrong?" She asks. I shake my head and tell her to not worry because we were planning to leave anyway.

"You guys go ahead. I'll just stay here with them." Jia suggested.

Since I am one hell of a tired person, I immediately agreed and drag Minseok out of the room.

"Bye!" I shout.

Ugh, all these information makes my head hurt. Minseok nudges me.

"Do you think what he was saying back there are all true?"

"야! You're his friend, even if your mind says to not believe him, well you should, because he's your friend." But, well, I should believe on Sehun also. But - I just can't put together the pieces of a broken puzzle, waiting for it to be complete again.

Suzy

"What were they doing here?" I turn to Jia, who was currently eating an apple.

She glances at Baekhyun before answering, "Well, uhm, they just paid a visit, that's all."

"And Suzy, why do you keep asking? I mean - Sehun is their friend, too, so it is normal to visit a bedridden person, right?"

"Hyung, I am not bedridden! Ugh." Sehun whines.

"Right, right. Nothing, I was just curious." But the feeling that I am having is a bit off. Like something is going on but I don't know what it is.
