Old Symphony

C7: Familiar but unfamiliar

"Unnie~ I would be home late. I'm really sorry for cancelling on you for dinner today." Snow apologized in a phone call with Rina.

Rina invited her to have dinner later that evening and Snow agreed as she got so busy with work and wasn't able to follow up with their mini-investigation as to why and how their old house was sold. She thought that it may answer some questions she was trying to make sense of.

"It's okay. It's also good that you go out with your workmates sometimes," Rina assured after knowing that it was a team dinner for the project they're working on.

"By the way, I asked around the people who knows the old woman who talked to you when you visited your old house weeks ago." Snow waited for any developments, since Rina promised she would help.

"I think it was strange that the other people who knows her didn't want to talk about it or really didn't know about it. I was able to talk to her daughter-in-law and guess what I've found out?"

"Was the old woman reliable?"

"Apparently, the old woman knows your parents. The daughter-in-law always thought she was blabbering nonsense but it wasn't after she learned that the business complex was sold to the now-owner ten years ago."

"So what did she say?"

"The same info you heard from the old woman. Your parents are the sweetest and most down to earth couple that she ever met." Snow's eyes watered at the description. She knows how true those words are.

"She always heard her mother talk about their little girl who was also sweet and friendly. They were a happy family and they don't seem to have any problems at all. That's why she was surprised to have found out that they moved out immediately. The reason was vague. No one knew about why they left; only knew that the girl got into an accident. I suppose she is referring to your family."

"So they knew there was an accident?"

"Yes but they never found out what kind of accident or how serious it was. They just felt sad for the family. Look, Snow...I know you've heard this already from the old woman. Please don't overthink about it yet. We'll find out about more details soon." Rina felt the need to comfort her friend knowing that she had been through a lot of rough times, she didn't want to trigger the pain.

"I understand. Unnie~ Thank you so much."

"Anytime, dear."

The call ended and a lot of questions ran through Snow's head as they headed to the restaurant for the team dinner. She was with the other staffs and was trying to shake all the questions off for a while.

At the restaurant, she was seated with Jin, Jake, Bam, Lisa, and the other directors. They were having a great time talking about the funny moments at the set until Lisa suggested they play a game to move away from the teasing of everyone and talks about the movie.

"Let's play two truths and a lie. You just have to say two truths about yourself and come up with a believable lie. Then we'll guess which one is the lie. If we're wrong, we'll drink, if we're right the person will drink. Come on! Let's make this fun!" Lisa suggested and everyone laughed at how bubbly she was.

"We should start with you then," Jin told her and she agreed immediately.

"One, I am Bam's childhood friend. Two, I can rap. Three, I don't eat much."

Everyone reacted differently at Lisa's silliness, but they let it go. So Lisa had to drink the beer since they were able to pinpoint her lie.

Bam went next and had to drink the beer as well since they knew which lie he said.
