Later that day, Eunbi, Sumin and Jaewoo went over to Soyeon's house. Her parents would usually refuse friends coming over but Soyeon's parents have know the three for a long time. They didn't know that Eunbi, Sumin and Jaewoo knew what happens in the house so they never try to hurt Soyeon while this three were over. The four of them went up to Soyoen's bedroom.
Sumin had brought the journal with her.
"So I was think, maybe if we read through the entire journal, we could find some pieces and put them together. I know for sure that Jieun had to do something with this though," Sumin explained. The four of them looked through the journal together to find something that could reveal the truth.
"OH! I think this can help. It says, 'I had a crush on Yoorim's brother for years but suddenly, Seoyoung was the one that he fell for.' Does that help?" Jaewoo asked. "Who's Yoorim?"
That name sounded familiar. "It's Youngmin's half sister!" I said. When Youngmin and I went on our first date, I met Yoorim. "Does that mean that the person that wrote in this journal had a crush on Youngmin for years? That has to be Jieun!" Eunbi said. Sumin shook her head. "Youngmin's her half brother. They would've written half brother if it was Youngmin. Soyeon, do you know if Yoorim had full biological brother?" Sumin asked me. I shook my head.
"I can call her and ask."
"Call her then."
I picked up my phone and found Yoorim in my contacts. The phone rang are a few seconds before someone picked up.
"Hello?" We heard someone say. "Oh Yoorim! It's Soyeon." I asked. We heard her squeal from the other side and then clear her throat. "Sorry 'bout that. Anyways, how ya doing Soyeon?" I chatted with Yoorim a little before asked her.
"Yoorim, do you have a biological brother?"
Yoorim was silent for a bit before answering. "Yes, I did." Sumin silently gasped and gestured me to keep going. Before I could ask something else, Yoorim spoke. "He died in the same car accident that my mom died in. Why?"
I racked my brain and thought of the most reasonable answer I could think of. "Since I'm dating Youngmin, I thought it would be good to know his family a little more." Eunbi patted be on the shroud, and gave me a thumbs up.
I heard Yoorim chuckled over the phone. "Well, his name was Yoonseo for starters. He actually fancied your sister." Yoorim talked about Yoonseo for a few minutes. "Hey Yoorim, did Yoonseo know someone named Heo Jieun?" I asked after she finished talking. We heard Yoorim hum slightly before answering.
"He had an admirer named Heo Juhyeon. I think she had a little sister named Heo Jieun but I'm not sure. But if you look around on the internet, you can find some articles about her. She was charged for homicide. Right now, she's in prison for like 20 more years."
Eunbi, Jaewoo and Sumin all looked at me with wide eyes. I was really freaked out too. "Um, who did she kill?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. She responded immediately.
"She killed her friend Park Chaeyoung because Chaeyoung had become friends with Yoonseo. I've met her before, Chaeyoung was really nice. Everyone liked her besides Juhyeon so everyone immediately accused her. Juhyeon was also found with a bloody knife in her backpack coming back from the park. In the end, she confessed her crime, while laughing actually."
The four of them stayed silent for awhile. Jaewoo had taken out his laptop and searched it up. He pushed the screen closer to Soyeon. The headline read '16 year old Heo Juhyeon caught and arrested for homicide'. Soyeon nodded at Jaewoo as he let Eunbi and Sumin read the article. "I found an article about her," Soyeon said. She could feel Yoorim nodded from the other line.
"Well, I hope this answered all of your questions! I gotta close up the store."
They exchanged goodbyes and hung up. Sumin looked through the article. She scanned Jaewoo's laptop screen so closely that Jaewoo had to physically push her head farther back.
"I think we found the person who pushed your sister."
