The Ugly Twin #Wattys2017

Chapter 19 - Secret spilled.

"Hei, Jongin-ah. What's wrong?"

Jongin blinked when he heard Chanyeol's voice right beside him. He looked up to catch his best friend's worried expression.

"Uh... Nothing..." Jongin smiled and sipped his bubble tea nervously.

"You always say nothing when there's something happened." Chanyeol said. "Tell me, are you really okay?"

Jongin stared at Chanyeol seriously while chewing his tapioca pearls. "Well I do have something that bothering me."

"What's that?"

"...but it's about Taemin."

Chanyeol furrowed his eyebrows. "Taemin?"

"You know... It turns out that Taemin and Minho... Are dating."

Chanyeol frowned before widening his eyes. "That means... Taemin ignores the threat."

Chanyeol had known what happened between Jongin and the men days ago and he was so angry that Jongin had to calm him down and reassured the giant that the men didn't do anything harmful.

Jongin sighed and nodded. "And last night... That girl called Taemin's phone."

"What?" Chanyeol gasped. "She's brave enough, I think."

"No, she's a coward. She faked her voice with machine." Jongin grumbled. "I'm the one who picked it up."

"You?" Chanyeol gasped again. "Why you?"

"Taemin fell asleep in my bedroom last night so I'm the one who picked up his call."

"Well-" Chanyeol licked his dry lips. "What did she say?"

"She said horrible things and cursed at Taemin. I was really angry." Jongin said while squeezing his bubbletea's cup. "I don't know what had Taemin done to her but she's really over the limit. It's not good to terror people like calling with private numbers and saying mean things. Really really a stupid option."

Chanyeol still frowned. "Yes. It's stupid."

"I wonder who's that person." Jongin said. "Taemin told me that it's probably his friend, Krystal."

"Krystal?"

"One of his clique since senior high school." Jongin answered. "She was a well-known girl back then. Popular because of her look and brain. She can be quite intimidating but I've never thought that she would be this cruel to ruin my brother's relationship with Minho."

"Are you sure it's Krystal?" Chanyeol asked while crossed his arms curiously.

"I'm not sure, actually." Jongin sighed. "Taemin just guessed it randomly."

"He will need more evidence, then." Chanyeol said. "He can't just point out at a certain people like that."

Jongin nodded. "I'm agree."

The two then walked through the large shopping malls with bubble tea on their hands.

"So you will help him to figure out who's that girl?" Chanyeol asked.

"Yes, I will. I can't just stay still and doing nothing while my brother is out there get all frustrated." Jongin sighed.

"Be careful." Chanyeol frowned. "I will also help you. Just call me whenever you need my help."

Jongin smiled sweetly and nodded. Chanyeol indeed is someone he could always count on to.

Chanyeol secretly smiled toward Jongin.Chanyeol knew Jongin had always feel losing to his older twin, but yet Jongin still tried his best to protect his brother from any harms. Jongin was indeed a wonderful person.
