Chapter 54
Yoongi walked away from the mystery club he had a slight smirk on his face. Namjoon's face was priceless and he felt his emotion as he held the letter.
He walked a few corners when a thought crossed his mind... Did he know they were related?
If he did, Namjoon didn't show it but neither did he. He looked down at his watch, there was still time to find Unmei before classes but not enough to grab breakfast.
He went in the direction of the music hall, Unmei would be in there. He wondered if her shoulder was alright after yesterday's chaos.
His heart started thumping loudly, he was excited to see her again and he had cleared the air between them but what bothered him was that there was something that she was hiding from him.
He bit his lip, would she tell him? Music filled his ears and he smiled, that tune that he had come to love after they have performed it as a duet for their concert in middle school.
He hadn't told her that he played that piece ever since his father took him out of that school. His hand rested on the handle and he opened the door, there she was sitting behind the piano.
Her eyes were closed as she swayed to the music. He closed the door silently behind him and approached her.
Her lips parted, "It is only you who would know where to find me."
She stopped playing and opened her eyes, she turned her gaze to Yoongi, "Good Morning."
He grinned. "I will always find you, good morning."
A comfortable silence fell between them and Yoongi didn't know how he should ask her about what she wanted to tell him yesterday before he could open his mouth, Unmei spoke.
"Yoongi, there is something important that I have to tell you."
Yoongi blinked she sounded serious, he knelt before her. "What do you need to tell me?"
He kept his voice soft and she bit her lip while averting her gaze from him. How was he going to react to her news?
Would he hate her and... Never talk to her again? But maybe he would understand her reasons to why she had to do it.
She hasn't gotten a new message from Jin or Hoseok. So she didn't know if her family was alright. Weeks have passed since she last saw them
Yoongi cupped her chin and turned her head gently so that she looked him in the eye. "I will not judge you, I am the last person who has the right to judge you."
She blinked, tears were forming in her eyes, that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to her. But her tears were more for her confession, her heart was afraid for his reaction.
A tear escaped and rolled down her cheek, Yoongi reached out with his free hand and caught it on his fingers. "Unmei, I can see you are struggling. You do not have to tell me if you are not ready."
Her lower lip started trembling if only he knew how she was struggling with her emotions. Since he had left, her music was never the same and nothing could have filled that void that he had left.
But after his confession yesterday about what happened and that he regretted it, she found it in her heart to forgive him. He was a victim of circumstances and it was wrong to hold it against him.
His eyes were soft as he waited for her answer and she blinked. "If I do not tell you now... I might never do it."
He smiled at her and his free hand that caught her tear, moved to her right hand and he enveloped it in his own. "I will listen."
Unmei inhaled a big breath, "I broke Yuki's leg."
Yoongi's eyes widened, he had known that she wasn't telling the truth when he questioned her yesterday. But he wanted to hear it from her lips, her confession. "Why did you lie?"
Tears were running from her eyes now. "I didn't want to lie to you... I had to."
With everything that had happened yesterday she didn't tell Jin anything, good riddance because they didn't let her know about her family.
Yoongi exhaled a slow breath but his eyes remained soft, he knew there had to be a good reason that Unmei would go to such lengths which were out of her character.
He squeezed her hand, "Tell me, why did you have too?"
Unmei's tears kept flowing and she tried to turn her gaze but Yoongi's hand kept her from looking away from him. "Unmei, please..."
She rolled her lips together, "Jin and Hoseok kidnapped my family."
They did what? Yoongi felt his anger rising and his eyes flashed. "They did what?"
Unmei saw the anger she knew so well. Yoongi the defender had woken at her words and she repeated, "They have taken my family from me."
Yoongi uncupped her chin and he stood abruptly. That was going too far even for Jin. That was the lowest he could have gone by taking someone's family to force an innocent girl to do his dirty work.
He had already turned on his heels to exit the room but Unmei stood up and grabbed his sleeve, "Yoongi listen."
He shook her off, "I am going to-"
She grabbed his arm again. "Yoongi listen to me!"
He turned around to face her, she was still crying. Her blue-grey eyes were puffy from the tears and his hand automatically reached out and cupped her cheek. "They have to-"
"You have to listen, " She placed her hand over his, "I am still part of their plan."
His anger was not subsiding but he blinked. "Part of their plan?"
She nodded at him. "They know our history and I have been asked to keep you away from Yuki."
Yoongi's eyes narrowed, "Do you know what they are planning?"
Unmei shook her head, "I have no idea what they are planning only that I have been tasked to distract you."
Yoongi bit his lip, those bastards. They knew about his history with Unmei and that he would have done anything in his power to reconcile with her.
The corners of his mouth turned up in a smile, he doesn't regret the fact that they are reconciling. And here she was telling him the whole truth, at the cost of her family.
"Then let us save your family."
Unmei's tears stopped, did she hear him correctly? He just said that they should save her family? "How do you-"
His gaze never wavered from hers. "Unmei, I know that all these years between us has caused us feelings that we didn't want to feel but... After we slowly began talking again-" He inhaled, "I can never be mad at you."
Unmei smiled, his reaction had surprised her. This Yuki who's leg she broke was like a little sister to him but he understood her side of the story and now that they have talked and that he explained what happened all these years... "And neither can I."
Yoongi leaned closer and kissed her, Unmei's eyes widened with shock but she closed her eyes and placed her arms around Yoongi's neck.
Yoongi's arms folded over her back and he broke the kiss, he didn't know what came over him but the moment had felt right.
He smiled at her flustered cheeks, "I have a confession."
She had felt her cheeks warmed and she averted her gaze, "Oh?"
He let out a chuckle, "Unmei... I have never stopped loving you."
Unmei's heart skipped a beat, she turned her gaze back to look Yoongi in the eye. "Could you repeat that?"
Yoongi loved gazing in her eyes, she wore her emotions on them and what he was reading was her love for him. She might not confess to him now but given time she would. "I said that I have never stopped loving you."
Unmei's heartbeat was caught in her throat and when she parted her lips, Yoongi removed his arms around her and placed his right hand's fingers on her lips.
"Tell me after we save your family."
She nodded against his lips, he removed his fingers, "I have a few calls to make. I will see you in class."
Yoongi turned his back to her and walked out of the music hall with his phone ready in his hand. The first person he was going to call was Jimin and then he will make him understand...
He closed the music hall door behind him while scrolling on his phone for Jimin's number and pressed the call button.
It rung for a few seconds.
"Yoon?"
He exhaled a long breath before talking, "Jimin, I have news."
"You have?"
Yoongi nodded while walking towards his class, "I found out who is responsible for Yumei's leg."
"That is indeed good news, tell me."
"Jin and Hoseok had taken Unmei's family to force her to do their bidding."
"You are kidding? Who is Unmei?"
Yoongi licked his lips, he hadn't told anyone at the Kazuma's who Unmei was... So he would have to fess up to Jimin if he wanted his help to rescue her family.
"Unmei is my childhood friend from eight years ago and I-"
"You?" Jimin's voice was full of surprise.
"I have- Can I tell you her story later."
"Fine... Why are you calling then?"
Yoongi could hear Jimin rolling his eyes at him. "Because we need to save her family from Jin."
There was a long pause over the phone before Jimin spoke again. "Are you sure?"
What did he mean was he sure? Unmei wouldn't lie about that, she might have lied about Yumei but she would never lie about her family. "I am positive... They forced her to break Yuki's leg for the fear they would harm her family."
"Then I shall help you, Yoon. The question is... Where would they be?"
Yoongi bit his lip, if he was Jin where would he hide a family that he had kidnapped?
"In one of the Kim family's abandoned warehouses."
"I will make a few calls and then we can plan from there."
Yoongi closed his eyes. "Thank you."
"Do not mention it, Yoon."
He ended the call and continued towards his English lit class who he would have had with Yumei.
