CEO (14)

I got ready and went to my car but stopped. Something about that book bothered me and I need to know what it is. Should I call in sick today? Yep, Jungkook can fire me all he want, I needed to know what was about that book that makes me feel uneasy, what was the burnt off page about.

I decided to call my aunt, to know when she will be back from work. I was planning to sneak in her house and search for clues to what my mother and I have in common, maybe my aunt had a diary too when she was younger. I climbed in my car and drove to my aunt's house.

Her house wasn't far from mine, but it felt like it did from all the traffics, my mind and other cars. Like, dude, stay in your lane! I finally arrived at my aunt's house but it seemed different. Nothing changed but the aura did, as if it was urging me to come inside but at the same time to go away. I took a deep breath and unlocked the door using the key that was under the pot.

My aunt will be back 30 minutes later from now so whatever I'm finding, has to be quick. I ran up to the attic and searched for my mother's diary but there was nothing, literally. All of the old furniture, toys, clothes, books,etc. were all gone. I ran out of the attic and to my aunt's room. It was filled with pictures that seemed odd, Like it doesn't belong there. I ignored the feeling and started to try to open the drawers but they were all locked. Something fishy was definitely happening. I frantically looked around the room until my eyes laid on all of the paintings. What was she painting? The background for the paintings were black and there were only white slashes painted on them. Did she find them attractive or anything?

I stared at the paintings longer and decided to do something without thinking twice. I took down all of the paintings and placed them all on the floor. I then started matching the white slashes together.

I stepped back from the paintings, realising that these paintings weren't black background and weird white slashes but they were actually letters if you connect them together. I excitedly matched the others paintings together until I got a sentence."SHE'S LESBIAN ".

Who's she? Who's lesbian? Why does my  aunt have this painting? I looked at the walls and there was little part of the wallpaper that was peeled off from the wall. I walked towards it and peeled it off. It was only small part but I could see something metal behind, maybe that's just her wall.

I hurriedly hung the paintings back in place and ran out of the house before my aunt came back.

-----------------

I parked my car outside my house and got inside. When I did, I was taken aback.

"Jungkook, why are you here?"

"Where were you? You weren't at work today, you weren't at home and now you're here" Jungkook stood up from the couch and slowly walked towards me.

"Look, I'm not chea--"

"I don't care! Taehyung, I know what you were doing but you have to tell me first. I want to help you find out about you and your mother! Let me help!"

"I don't want you to fucking help Jungkook. I'm sorry but you need to leave me alone for this. I want to find out everything by myself" I yelled back and pushed him out of my house. Jungkook needed to know where his boundaries were.

I sighed and sat down on the couch. Fuck, Jungkook's smell is still here! I buried my head between the cushions and Jungkook's scent before falling off to sleep.

--------------

I woke up by my ringtone. I groaned and stood up from the couch and rolled off the couch while funding my phone.

I felt something square and solid and brought it up to my face. I looked at the screen and saw my aunt's name written as the caller ID. Sudden panicked  attacked me as I realised what happened yesterday. I cleared my throat and became nervous, Maybe she's calling because she knows what I did yesterday.

"...hello?"

"Ah, Tae, I need a favor from you" my aunt's voice sounded through my phone. Oddly, she sounded panicked, she was panting and was talking way too fast.

"Sure"

"Thank you. Uhm, I'll be gone for a while. I can't...can't really predict when I'll return. I don't even know if I can return but while I'm gone, could you take care of my house?" She panted. I could only process a few words before replying,"Sure, anything for you!"

My aunt heaved a sigh of relief and thanked me. I thought the conversation was over but she then added,"Oh and by the way, don't enter the room again like you did last time." This time, she said it more strictly, as if she was warning me.
