“I wonder How much love hide behind silence”
Myung-He's pov
A most possible guessing might be Taehyung was waiting for Jungkook.
"Probably that they were close."
“Lovers?!”
“Let’s not assume that yet because we still need information and we are far from conclusion.”
“Why not— friends”
“Can’t deny that. But what I mean is there is something we are missing.”
“We are missing a link?”
“Yeah…” he stood up, stretching his body then throwing a look of knowledge, “let's connect the dots”
I watched his stylish and captivating walk. Jeongguk went back to the back room again and after a while he came back with a few more yellow papers.
“What's all that?” I pointed at the new piles of papers.
“We need to find out more about Joen’s family. Why was Jeon Jungkook running in the rain? Who was Taehyung waiting for?
At first it looked easy to connect but let's assume if Taehyung was waiting for his lover, where is the probability this lover could be hiding among the group of people we know?”
“Taehyung had an adopted sister other than that—” I gasped as it clicked.
“What if…what if Taehyung had forbidden attachment to his adopted sister?”
A smack flew down the back of my head and I hissed at that.
“So naughty” he chuckled.
Well, if we consider all the possibilities why not a forbidden relationship included in this investigation.
Wait…
My breath stilled for a fraction of a moment. Heart paining like getting stabbed.
“Was there another girl connected to both of this family?” I asked slowly.
“Let me see” Jeongguk answered easily, not sounding like he thought my idea silly.
“Does Joen have a sister?”
As he searched through the paper the silence wrapped around us grew.
”Here, Myung look.”
“Where…where?” I shouted excitedly.
The next newspaper reported something about a gathering that happened in a hotel. An engagement ceremony of Jungkook and Manobal.
In the column were the grainy photos of Jeongguk and Manobal with another girl.
“What's her name?” At this point I couldn't even breathe properly.
“Seara Jeon”
Such a simple name yet it struck me so hard.
“So, she was the one hiding huh” Joengguk said with astonishment as we both checked out the beautiful girl.
The modern dictionary isn't sufficient to describe her beauty. It's not so common that we encounter such personalities in our day today lives.
So beautiful…my mouth was open.
“Wow” Jeongguk breathed out as we faced each other in surprise. I am a little jealous now. Even Jeongguk was awe struck by Seara, although it's a shabby yellow photo.
I felt like fighting him for giving such a reaction but then I suddenly find the composure remembering she lived forty years ago and fighting for someone who is already dead is silly and childish.
Seara had fluffy long hair. Her eyes are larger than usual and fully showing how happy she was in the photo. If a photo could make people happy I think one should preserve this one.
Joengguk snapped his fingers in front of my eyes and I looked out of daze.
“No wonder Taehyung fell for her.” I mutter.
“Right. So now we know the link.” He let out a long breath of relief.
But my breath was stuck in my throat looking at her. Somebody pull me out from this spiral that I am in.
“How old is she?” I simply asked out of curiosity.
Jeongguk glanced at the paper studying it and he glanced back at me with a bit of doubt.“Thirty”
“What, let me see” I read the detailed caption under the photos. it had the names and each person's age in the small bracket.
Jeon Jungkook (25) Kim Manobal (20) and Seara Jeon (30)
“Isn't that a little…” I slowed up to find a proper word. “Odd”
“Old you mean?”
“I agree with Taehyung here, who cares about the age when you find such beauty.”
