-14- The traitor and his motive

For lunch, Yibo and Wooseok wanted to go to the park and eat there in peace. But then Yibo received a call from Zhan. Yibo had written to him that he wanted to see him at least once more before he bowed to his father's will.

And when Zhan told him he was in the parking lot, Yibo ran straight there. He saw Zhan standing by his car and ran even faster until he reached him and closed his arms around him.

"ZhanZhan, I don't want to break up with you. Never! So please don't tell me we should break up." Said Yibo, without Zhan saying anything. He was just really scared that Zhan would let him go.

Zhan smiled. He took a cool pack from his car and pressed it against Yibo's cheek, which was still swollen. "I would never part with you Yibo. Do not worry! I want to be with you too."

"I'm afraid my father is making good on his threat. But I'm even more scared of losing you again."

"Yibo, first let's go somewhere where we can talk in peace. I have something important to tell you."

. I have something important to tell you.

Yibo nodded and went with Zhan to the university park. On the way there, they met Wooseok, who joined them. They also saw Seungyoun standing alone in front of the cafeteria, looking sadly at Wooseok and Yibo.

"Are you coming? We should all talk." Called Zhan to him and Seungyoun hurried immediately to the three of them.

When they had arrived at the park, they went to the meadow and all sat down under a tree. Zhan had a bag with him and there was food in it for all of them. He handed each one a packet of the freshly packed and still hot food and said, "We'll talk as soon as we've all eaten."

The four ate their lunch in silence, Yibo sat close to Zhan, Wooseok a half meter away and Seungyoun sat a little away. "Please come closer, Seungyoun. Don't worry. I'll help you clarify your behavior." Said Zhan and Seungyoun looked at him with wide open eyes.

Yibo and Wooseok immediately asked what it meant, but Zhan told them to be patient and eat. So they ate as fast as they could.

"So now what?" Yibo wanted to know after he had disposed the empty packages.

"I've been pretty busy since this morning and had a conversation or two. So, we' II start with Seungyoun. Do you want to explain yourself why you betrayed your best friend?" Started Zhan.

Seungyoun looked at his hands and shook his head.

"Okay, I thought so. Then I'll explain. It's like this, Seungyoun's parents got into trouble through no fault of their own. They had to borrow a lot of money and could not turn to anyone but Yibo's father. He lent them the money and they made monthly payments. But in the last two months many things happened. Seungyoun's parents both lost their jobs, they could not pay their installments anymore. They also couldn't pay the amount of rent for your apartment or even for his studies. So Yibo's father gave them money again. And knowing they wouldn't be able to pay it back soon, he said, Seungyoun has to report everything Yibo does from now on."

"I never wanted to do this, but I had no choice. He threatened my parents and he threatened me not to tell anyone." Seungyoun replied with tears in his eyes.

"So that's why you betrayed Yibo? Because you wanted to protect your parents? Why didn't you at least tell me something?" Wooseok wanted to know.

"He didn't tell you because he was afraid Yibo's father would find that out. And he was afraid he'd hurt you." Explained Zhan briefly.

"Okay so what? I don't understand why my dad has me under surveillance. It's just not like him." Yibo said.

"I' II explain it to you. Because after our phone call I went to the company where your father works and I spoke to him there. We had a long talk." Zhan replied, but was interrupted by Yibo.
