Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 49

"How should we start the conversation with Oppa?"

"I don't know... You tell me. You're the one who's good at this."

"Don't you think it's already late at night to discuss it with Jiyong Oppa?"

"But this is already the second time we've tried. Earlier, we weren't able to talk to him because they're not home... Now, you're telling me it's getting late."

"What are you two arguing about?"

Chaerin was about to reply but got startled when someone other than them spoke.

"Oppa? You shocked me." She said after seeing Jiyong from behind. "Why are you out here?"

"I should ask the two of you instead. What are you doing here at this hour?" He asked back.

"Where's Noona, Hyung?" Seungri asked.

"Are we just gonna answer each other with another question?" Jiyong chuckled.

Both the twins scratched their heads.

"To answer both your questions... I just went out to get some air in the garden... and you're Noona's asleep in one of the guest rooms. She has fever."

"Is she okay?" Chaerin sounded worried.

"She probably got exhausted from everything." He sighed. "Our meeting with the twins' mother didn't go well."

"I guess it's not the time to talk about this with Oppa." Chaerin whispered to her brother.

"Talk about what?" Jiyong heard what Chaerin said.

"Say it." Seungri encouraged his sister as she was staring at him, asking for help.

"If it's something important, let's talk about it over a cup of coffee." Jiyong offered.

"I think that's a good idea, hyung." Seungri agreed.

"Oppa, we've talked to Minzy and Daesung earlier this morning... They've told us what's causing Unnie to act that way."

"She already told me, Chae."

"The real story?" Seungri asked.

"When she came, we talked... She told me she didn't really love me." A sad smile formed on his lips. He looked down, not wanting to show the sadness in his eyes.

"And you believed her, Hyung?"

"I don't know... It felt like she didn't want to be with me... And she's only staying because of the kids."

"That's because she's hurting inside, Oppa... Because she loves you so much. It was painful for her to accept what she heard?"

"What do you mean?"

"She was there... That night when you were with Kiko Unnie."

"What?!"

"She came back to talk to you about what happened in Japan... You know her, Oppa. She can't stand a day without clearing a misunderstanding between you two."

"She heard what you have admitted to Kiko Noona."

"But she only heard the part about your plan of using her to have Kiko Unnie back... She ran away after hearing that."

"Oh God!" Jiyong exclaimed, running his hand through his hair.

"Unnie got really hurt by it, Oppa... That's why she's acting that way. She's thinking that everything was just because you were using her."
