Alexandra Verlino

Ep 12: Family?

If only I knew the meaning of losing. If only I had been ready. If only I already foreseen what future holds for us...

***

I still am waiting for the third girl, supposed to be "Alexandra" to come out. All sort of questions is lingering within my mind. The mid-age lady still looking at me excitedly with her watery eyes. The old man somehow seems pleasure to have me back. All in all, the atmosphere today is such a jubilant and blissful as if someone was being born. Refused to wait any longer, I start to open my mouth-

"Let me be clear. Who is Alexandra? I know she is Skylar and he is Sam. You mentioned another person named Alexandra before. Where is she?"

She stops sipping the drink from the cup. Unable to move her hands for a while. I still am curious, thus the next question has been shot without waiting for the first to be answered.

"I need to know everything from the start. How do I get into this mess? Who am I? Is there really such thing as 'Alien baby'?"

This time Leeteuk holds my hand from continue to ask. We all can see how the situation has changes everyone to a heavy silence. I look at Ji Yong, asking for help with my face. Leeteuk grabs my hands tighter as a sign to not speak of the matter any further. Maybe this isn't a right time. However, I do feel in some sense that this..seems like all of them are trying to hide the fact. Irony. I bought this safe house, prepares everything beforehand in case something like this happens, and now they won't even tell me a word on the truth. And still don't know my exact identity. How can anyone actually live their lives not knowing who they are? My memory has been 80% recovered since the last time, but the holes seems to hold the most important clues of why this family is behaving like this to me. I mean, I am their daughter, aren't I?

"Let's just...wait until our guests returns to their house before we start talking about our family," she finally answers with a soft and calm voice.

"Why? They are all my closest friends. If anything, you should tell them more than me. They helped me, protect me, and even makes me realized what is happening when I, myself have no idea why I am being haunted. This isn't supposed to be about me! This is about saving them! But look how the situation changes. Look at all this!!" with that I show the family our situation; the ever so simple and dirty clothes, with all being confused, scared, and curious on what will happen next to our life. The lady seems to show a bit of surprised look at me.

I was exaggerating to show on their clothes when all we did was to get through the muddy bushes as the house itself is a very secretively placed in some rural area around Pocheon. But it is true that we all are scared, confused, and curious on this whole absurd situation. How can a bunch of what supposed to be idol groups in Korea protect something as important as government darkest secret? That too, on the international level. They did not come as far from their own hometown to fight and to sacrifice their life for someone like me. They come to chase their dreams! If anything, I will be the ones annoyed with all this absurdity. This is way far off track from where they begin.

"Stella ya...I think your mom is right. You still need to rest. We all will be going now. If the company knows we are all here together, then all of us will be finished. You can talk to your family about this later, and then decides if you want to tell us," Ji Yong finally said his words.

I turn my face to him in disbelief. Shaking my head with a sigh, I turn to Leeteuk.

"That's right, Stella. We have been out for so long. They must have been curious on our whereabout," he tries to make me feel better.

Obviously, that ain't helping. I become angrier with them. They made excuse and ran away for two weeks in States for me, only to come back here contacting their company again by making another excuses that they lost their passports and the incident in States was caused by them getting lost somewhere in the jungle at Arizona. How they made up that lies, I honestly don't know, and I never ask them too. Plus, the companies never said anything regarding that matters, which is also one of the questions that I have been thinking. I know JYP will not say anything regarding the missing of Wonder Girls because they are focusing on their boy groups at the moment. Plus, they will most likely prefer if their other rival companies to not know how they failed to secure their artists to stay within their grasps. But really? YG and especially SM? They really won't take any drastic measurement on this?
