Serendipity: The Amazing Journey Of A Soulmate

75. Secrets unveiled

NAMJOON

I'm going to lose my mind. The thought of being back in Seoul, so close to her after a month of not talking and seeing each other, it's killing me. When the plane landed this morning and I saw myself back in my country, all I kept thinking about was seeing her. I would've gone straight to her house. I was already imagining hugging her small frame and keeping her close to my chest, so close that I'd feel my shattered soul gluing back together. But I wasn't sure this was the right thing to do. I don't know what happened with Inna, I have no idea at all what she is planning, but if there is something that I am certain of is that something happened and if I barge back into her life now I may ruin something she built. I was so angry at her before because I was left in the dark, but at the same time my love for her grew even bigger. No one fought this hard for me before. And whatever it is, I don't doubt that she did fight for me. So for the moment I have to swallow my pride and all my feelings and be patient. However, I wanted to give her a hint, to let her know that I get it. That I am not clueless, even if I don't know the whole story. And most of all, that I am here for her when she is ready to take me back. It was a fool's gamble, but if there is a small chance that she watched my live session, if she listened to my words and she was willing to read right through them, then maybe my message has been delivered. It has been difficult to say those things and not cause suspicions.

"Aish!" I say out loud as I drop my head on the couch's headrest, looking at the ceiling. I'm throwing away my tablet and just lay there for a few minutes, thinking, mentally torturing myself between trying to remove the veil from this story and fighting the thought of leaving the house and just go find her.

I hear the sound of the buzzer and I turn my head in the direction of the entrance hall, but I make no move to sit up.

"I'll get it!" Jin yells from the kitchen, seeing him out the corner of my eye leaving the kitchen and heading to the entrance door. I remove my earphones, but then I quickly jump out of the couch with hope blooming in my chest. For some strange reason, I hope that it's her. But as I arrive there, I realize disappointed that it's not Inna, the one standing in the hallway, but her best friend, Park Mirae. She moves her eyes from Jin to me, her gaze grave and I understand immediately that whatever that is, it's going to be serious.

"Jin, can you leave us a moment?" I say waving my hand towards the living room so Mirae could follow. However, Jin is not reacting. He is staring at the pretty woman in front of him. I raise my brows, surprised at his sudden interest.

"Jin?" I say again. She then observes his intense gaze and shyly adverts her eyes. Well, god damn! He finally snaps out of it and with one last glance at Mirae, he leaves us alone.

"Mirae, I didn't expect to see you here," I say as we both take a seat on the couch. I already know this is Inna related so I brace myself for whatever she's about to say.

"Namjoon, I don't think I should do this, but there is something you need to know," her grave tone makes me nervous. I only nod to encourage her to continue. "Inna... she's," Mirae starts taking a deep breath, "She is lost and in pain and she is trying to fight this battle alone. I don't know how to help her, but I can't bear to see her wasting like this. She's a ghost, Namjoon," she finally says and my skin prickles from goosebumps. What is she saying? I mean, I know she's been going through some stuff and I only suspected that it might be related to the appearance of Jonathan in her life, but the truth is I don't know much. I don't know anything.

"What battle, Mirae? What are you talking about?" I ask nervously. The unease in my chest spreads as all kinds of thoughts race through my head. I'm afraid of what she may tell me, even though I already connected some dots in my head.
