|| THIRTY ||

It felt like the more the days went by more and more lies were spreading like wild fire, just one after the after . They won't stop and they keep coming.

Minjae sat in the club lobby , shoulders slumped and bags by her feet . She was waiting for her mother to arrive , she was finally going back home.

"Minjae you know you don't have to go home , You can always stay here with us for awhile if you'd like"

Jongho suggested, ever since he met his little sister he had become very fond of the girl , There was a time where he believed that if he ever met his younger sister he wouldn't like her , wouldn't give her the light of day , wouldn't acknowledge her existence , wouldn't care about her but after the last week or two his mind had drastically

Minjae smiled at her brother before shaking her head. She hadn't said a word the entire day.

All the boys were down stairs and were heading up in a few minutes. The sound of the bell ringing made Minjae take a sharp breath . Turning to see her mother.

Her mother smiled sweetly at her daughter before walking towards Minjae and engulfing the girl into a hug. A bone crushing hug.

"Minjae sweetie I'm so glad you're alright, I've been worrying so much about you"

Minjae caught herself before she scoffed in her mother's face. Seemed like it , ignoring me for awhile.

Her mother sulked into Minjaes shoulder for a couple minutes before the back door swung open and all boys filed into the room.

"Miss Park"

"Hongjoong"

The latter greeted the woman with a nod of the head and stood in front of the group of boys that stood silently behind him. All in a line , all staring at the floor.

Minjae pulled away from her mother. Miss Park , had told Minjae to wait for a little , while she took her bags out and that she would introduce her to someone.

"Thank you guys for your hospitality for the last couple of days , I really appreciate it"

Minjae finally said , The door opened again and Miss Park walked in again.

"Miss Park , Are you sure it's alright for you guys to go back home? We haven't found the leak of your entire operation"

Hongjoong had stepped forward. It was a bit weird how her mother wanted her to go home with her after everything .

"I don't mean to be so insensitive or anything like that but your husband may be dead but that doesn't mean the threat isn't"

The words were heavy but didn't seem to make an impact on the newly widowed. She seemed completely unfazed by the fact her husband had just passed away. What is wrong with this lady?

"It sounds quite heartless for me too say , but My husband was and is the reason our daughter was put in jeopardy , I love my husband with all my heart but he did no good in protecting Minjae. I assure you what a tragedy my husbands death was but just like him the threat was terminated"
