Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 66: Solace

Yoongi's presence in the house made everything awkward, though Calintz seemed to be fine with it. After the incident, they saw more of him around them instead of him cooping up days and nights in the laboratory. Not only that, they ate better since he now did all the cooking for them.

"God, I missed this so much~~" Yoohyeon gobbled down her spaghetti without a care. Jessica covered her face with her hand, embarrassed at her girlfriend.

"That's what you get for dating someone much younger than you. Different era, different style." Yuri nudged at her.

"Well, whose fault is that? I spent decades trying to reel you in. I had enough of you playing with my heart and feeling. Thanks to her, I broke out from that vicious cycle of push and pull!" Jessica snapped back. The rest of them wooed at the pair, but stopped by the clanking sound of cutlery dropped on the plate.

Yoohyeon's face ashen up by the revelation.

"You... You were in love with Yuri unnie?" Her voice started to crack up, her eyes watery. Her lips started to tremble.

"Ack! No! That was before I met you! You know, old crush or something. But it changed since the day in the cafeteria. I swear!" Jessica panicked. Yuri saw the chance to tease them more and took it. She hugged Jessica and kissed her cheek. Jessica froze by her action she looked in disbelief at Yuri.

"Be careful, Yoohyeon. One slip up, Jessica will be mine." Yuri winked, giving her an evil grin. Yoohyeon stood up, leaving the dining room but not before giving her final say with a deadly glare.

"Yeah? Let see how confident you are when I rip your heart out and eat it right before your eyes."

Jessica tried calling after her, but she wouldn't listen. She pushed Yuri aside and knocked her head.

"Aish!!! Why the hell did you do that?! You know she's a bit like Calintz; gullible as hell!" Jessica barked at Yuri then running after her.

The dining room roared with laughter at the little skit. Yuri stood up and took a bow, her face proud at what her mischievousness had achieved.

"Though I owed her an apology later. I took it a bit too far." Yuri chuckled.

"Good luck with that. Yoohyeon might be slow, but she held onto grudges like Tiffany unnie." Siyeon warned her.

"Oh, shit..." Yuri looked alarmed by the revelation. It threw them once again into the sea of laughter.

Until Yoongi entered the room. Everyone stopped laughing.

"Sorry. I'd just finished organising the data. Is there a room for one more?" Yoongi asked politely.

Ever since that day, Yoongi and Calintz's role switched. He now spent most of his time down there organising and detailing the intelligence on The Seers. Thanks to him, a full and complete file on each of the higher positioned members of the organisation now in their hands.

The occupants seemed to be fine with him being around, but doubts filled the air. If he could change side on a whim, what stopping him from turning his back on them later? Loyal to the cause was their motto, and Yoongi did not fit the bill.

While the others were slowly starting to accept him into their circle, a different story for a minority of them; namely Handong and Irene. One could understand the reason why. Because of his previous organisation, they lost the ones which their hearts belonged to.

"Sure thing. Grab a chair, I'll plate it for you." Calintz smiled at him. He bowed to them and went looking for a seat. Siyeon pushed back the chair beside her, nodding towards it. Yoongi thanked her and sat down. Across him were Irene and Handong. Tension can be tasted in the air until CL decided to break it up.
