Sinner

Chapter 9

*Korean*

We reached Sidney and my mansion as Lucas texted me telling me that everyone is at our new mansion. The guard looks at me and squints her eyes, I watch the gear turn in her head.

"Name," she asks looking at my orange curly fluffy hair.

"Joycle," I say, straightening up my back.

She stares at me for a couple of seconds before looking at her computer.

I swear if I can't get into my own house, we will be throwing some hands.

"Go on," she says, I release a breath that I was holding for way too long.

*English*

"Oh thank god," I mumble. As the gates open and I drive to our mansion. I look at the house in front of us.

"This is the largest house I have ever seen," Hendery says with his jaw unhinged.

"Wow, Daddy went all out," Sidney says, running around like a golden retriever.

"Well, I'll get to writing that Thank You Letter," I say as I stretch.

"Come on, let's go inside. Father told me that there are fifteen rooms plus seventeen bathrooms and one dance room," she says running into the house.

Oh god, we are going to lose Sidney.

Wait why do we have that many rooms, there are only going to be 2 people living here.

"Come on let's go," Hendery says, pulling me into the house.

We were welcomed by Johnny, Lucas, Jaemin, Mark, and Fathima unboxing the package.

Fathima's eyes darken when she spots me and my stomach gains a bunch of weights.

Here we go again, me and Fathima...I don't know how I feel about her yet. She's very kind but she's a Muslim. I can't be friends with someone like her.

*Korean*

"Joycle we need to speak," Fathima says, making me nod.

"Sure," I say as she pulls me into a different, empty room.

"Um... do you hate me?" she asks looking up at me. I look down not knowing what to say.

Do I hate her? No, I just hate that she is a Muslim. I hate the sin not the sinner.

"I don't know," I say truthfully, feeling confused about my feelings. For the past two months, I have trained with her every day, but I just don't know.

"Why do you not know?" she says gently.

I sigh looking at the ground, I don't want her to see me like this. I look at the door and think about walking out.

Don't do it, she's talking to you so kindly she has a right to know.

No why would I tell a disgusting hedgie about my life, she doesn't need to know anything.

I bite my bottom lip before sighing.

"There's a lot of things I don't know, my feelings about you are one of them," I say being defeated.

"Sidney asked me to move in with you guys, I'm thinking about taking the offer," she says looking at the door.

Sidney did what, without running it through me. What do I say?

"I don't know what to say but if you move in, stay away from my room, I don't want to hurt you," I say before leaving the room.

Leaving a shocked Fathima, and a feeling of guilt fires up in me.

Was I too mean, was I not mean enough. What is she going to choose?

Why do I feel so bad? I did nothing wrong, just warned her.
