Step Brother Min Yoongi

Chapter 24

It's been a few days since Krystal fainted and I was preparing to head out in order to take care of appa as usual.

"Chaeyoung, are you still here?!" Eomma knocked on my door suddenly making me jump. I muttered under my breath holding my chest.

"Yes!" Hearing my answer she let herself into my bedroom. I shook my head. I knew she was my mother but she could at least at to enter her grown daughters bedroom. For all she knew I could have been in my birthday suit. I never really locked my door since the workers here always waited for an invitation in, even appa.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I told you. Didn't I! I told you to keep hold of the reins!" She bellowed.

"What are you talking about?" I asked completely confused. 

"I was on the phone with Yoongi earlier. Since he planned on not being here for the next couple of days I wanted to know why." Eomma said.

"Okay." I nodded following her up to this point.

"He was rather curt with me when he said he wouldn't be coming back for a while. Then when I asked him about his marriage with you. Well you can forget about your marriage. He told me and I quote 'It's not the time for that'!" She yelled, "What happened?!"

"I-I-"

"Don't tell me he's already bored of you!"

"There's no way I'd know if that's true or not right?"

"Where is he anyway?! Is he not coming back because he doesn't want to be with you anymore?"

"Oppa he is together with Krystal I think." I answered.

"Isn't didn't he hate her?" Eomma asked, "Why are they together again? Could it have something to do with her illness?"

"Possibly." I nodded.

"So he's waiting on her because he all all soft hearted when he saw his ex fiancee in this condition? What an idiot!" Eomma said. Not surprised she wasn't feeling sympathy for Krystal at all. "What does he plan on doing if that man dies while he's out playing house?!"

"Eomma-"

"Call him to the house now! If you ask instead of me there's still a chance for you two. God! Why is this woman doing this now?" Eomma slammed my door violently when she left. The table next to my door even shook.

"Forget about the marriage." I murmured as it finally sunk in. I could see the pieces of my heart scattered in a million little pieces on my bedroom floor. I didn't break down though. I couldn't right now, I had to see appa.

When I entered his room Yoongi and Krystal were there.

"Oh you're here." I murmured with a small bow towards them.

"Chae, you're early today too." Yoongi said. That stupid nickname coming from him caused tears to burn my eyes. Blinking a million times I nodded.

"You're feeling well Krystal?" I asked her.

"Since I had a medical examination scheduled I thought I would stop by and see how your father was doing." She nodded.

"I see." I nodded, "Thank you for that."

"I'm grateful that you came to visit in your condition." Appa said.

"You can stop speaking so formally." Yoongi told him.

"Really." Krystal said, "I think of you like I do my real father."

"I truly appreciate it." Appa murmured.
