CHAPTER 7

"You know my Mother?" I asked in surprise. How did he know my mother? I saw the confusion in his eyes as he stared at me. "You are Park Sierra's daughter?……" He trailed with a disbelieving look. "I never knew she had one before she left the country 25 years ago." His last statement confused me. "What do you mean left the country? My mother died after giving birth to me." I corrected him but he just shook his head and looked at me incredulously. "That is impossible, a common friend of ours just saw her a few weeks ago in the United States and she said that Noona is in a very good shape." My mind went blank. I don't know which one to believe. All these years I grew up knowing that my mother died when she gave birth to me and that I have no more relatives except for my grandmother. So, is he telling me that I grew up in a lie?

Tears are threatening to fall. What is he talking about? My mother is still alive? Are we talking about the same person. But my grandmother told me that she had died giving birth to me. Was it all a lie? There are a lot of questions swarming in my head right now. I can't think straight. I want to ask my grandmother but that is already impossible because she is already dead. Now, what do I do?

I felt Yoongi glanced at me, he probably felt my discomfort and confusion so he changed the subject. "Excuse me, but Bang PD-nim why did you call us here?" I looked at Yoongi. I want to tell him that we are not yet done talking but Yoongi looked into my eyes with furrowed brows and shook his head. He then looked around the room clearly making me realize that we are not alone so he wants me to shut my mouth. So, maybe we will continue the conversation later. I bit my lower lip as I looked at the ceiling before I took deep breathe to calm myself.

Bang PD-nim cleared his throat and returned to his seat before he spoke with authority. "I called all of you here because of the recent events that involved Yoongi and Miss Park." He glanced our way clearly insinuating that the issue is about us.

"Our staff have managed to pacify the news. They said that she was your cousin. We all know that not all of your fans will believe that. So for now Yoongi, you better be careful." After Speaking to Yoongi he turned to me. "Miss Park, I heard that you are also currently residing at BTS's dorm as their housekeeper. I want you to move out as soon as you can-"

"What? Move Out? But she has nowhere to go, She has nothing! I didn't know you were this heartless, Bang PD-nim!" Jimin suddenly cut Bang PD-nims sentence bringing his fist down the table while he stood up clearly not pleased with what he heard. I saw Taehyung tugging the sleeve of his jacket motioning for him to sit down.

"Yah! What are you doing? Have you gone crazy?" I heard Hoseok who was sitting next to Jimin muttered under his breathe the moment Jimin sat back down. I look at all the members reaction and they were all frowning, except for Yoongi. He is poker faced as usual but I saw him clenched his jaw. I bowed my head in humiliation. Yeah, maybe that is what is the best for us, for him. I don't want to cause him anymore trouble. I really should move out. I muster my courage to speak, but just as I open my mouth, Bang PD-nim held out his palm to stop me from talking.

"Eherm, as I was saying, before Jimin interrupted me. Big Hit will take care of you. I heard you were a former English teacher in your hometown, maybe we can find a vacant position for you in the company. For now you can stay at the employees quarter. You can stay there while you are looking for a house, a dorm or an apartment. If you are worrying about funds, Big Hit can loan you the amount you need and you can pay in terms you can." Did I heard it correctly or am I hallucinating? They are offering me a job and a place to stay and even a loan? This is just too good to be true!

"IYAAAAAAH! See Jiminie, Sihyuk Hyung is Kind! As expected from our CEO!" Jin exclaimed as he suddenly stood up and gave Bang PD-nim a standing ovation, the other members except for Yoongi followed Jin's actions.
