36. Secret
{ Jungkook's P.O.V }
"Wow, I never knew my stepbrother was Korean." Jimin hyung said after we both settled inside Hoseok hyung's car.
"Well, I've heard a lot about you." Hoseok hyung, sitting on the driver's seat and turning on the engine, said to Jimin hyung as he smiled at him in the rearview mirror.
"Really? Did dad told you?" Jimin hyung asked excitedly.
"Yup. He often talks about his first son, you. That you are.." Hoseok hyung started saying and the family conversation between him and Jimin hyung started on which my ears automatically shut themselves.
Okay, let's not forget the real reason I'm here for.
Taking out my cell, I messaged Lee Eun Byul, asking her about Eun Bi's whereabouts.
Now that I'm in America, the remaining part of my work is a piece of cake because I'm sure Eun Bi will forgive me.
Why? Because I'm a professional beggar.
No, not that beggar who asks for money. I meant that I am really good at begging for the things I like and get them no matter what because after all, I have the mighty 'Puppy Eyes'.
Even my parents let me come to America so getting forgiveness is easy.
My phone buzzed and lightened up with a notification of a message from Lee Eun Byul, in which was written the address to her uncle's house where Eun Bi was staying.
And consider the job done.
I thought, smiling to myself.
Suddenly, a grumbling voice came from somewhere stopping Hoseok and Jimin hyung's conversation in the middle.
Jimin hyung turned his head to me and Hoseok hyung glanced at me through the rearview mirror. And that was when I realised that the grumbling voice came from my poor empty belly.
{ Lee Eun Bi's P.O.V }
"I should really unpack my stuff already." sighing, I sat up lazily. Throwing the one and only thing which was the center of my attention for the past hour_ my cell phone, I started dragging my body towards my suitcase.
Until the tragedy happened.
The tragedy of me stepping on a Lego block.
"Yeowch!!" screaming in pain, I held my foot in hand and starting jumping on one foot. Suddenly, a piece of cloth came under my foot from God knows where and I fell down on my butt.
"Sweet Cheese And Crackers!!" I yelled again, rubbing my butt.
Not deciding to stand up again, I crawled around my room and sighed in relief once I shifted stuff from a corner of my room before sitting there peacefully.
"Finally," I huffed out a breath of victory, smiling like I just won a tournament, "Now, let's get started."
And then, I started doing the impossible which was cleaning up my new room.
"Why do I even have so much stuff? I only need a bed, internet and food to live."
{ Jungkook's P.O.V }
"Thank you for the food!" clapping my hands together after finishing my meal, I laid back in my seat beforr yawning.
"You guys must be tired so let's not waste any time. Father must be waiting for us." Hoseok hyung said with a big smile on his face.
"Dude, have some manners," Jimin hyung said, hitting my arm, "Sit up straight."
"Stop it, hyung." pushing his hand away, I glared at him and he glared back, which eventually started a glaring war between us.
"Come on, guys. We don't wanna be more late, do we?" standing up, Hoseok hyung gave us a smile, a WICKED smile. A smile that'll haunt us at night.
"Yes, sir!" standing up quickly, I and Jimin hyung said in unison.
~~~
"We're here." said Hoseok hyung as he stopped the car.
"Woah!" I exclaimed, looking at the mansion in front.
"That's my dad's mansion!?" Jimin hyung asked, "I remember we lived in an apartment which had two rooms and a living room with a connected kitchen and bathroom."
"Well, it's my mom's actually." Hoseok hyung said.
"Ooh, cool," I smiled before stepping out, "I already like my step-mom."
"You guys should rest tonight. I'll take you on a tour tomorrow," Hoseok hyung said as we walked inside the fancy looking mansion, "I'll go park the car."
Saying that, Hoseok hyung or Hobi hyung, which he likes to be called, left.
Just then, a sound of someone clearing their throat from behind came and we both turned around.
"U-Uh, hello... Father." Jimin hyung said nervously.
His father, unlike what I thought, was a man in his late 30's. He was quite well built and his features resembled Jimin hyung's except his height. He was quite long unlike Jimin hyung.
No wonder Jimin hyung is so nervous. Dude is meeting his dad years after running away.
Bet he'll get a smack now.
I thought with a smirk and the next moment...
He hugged Jimin hyung tightly.
A smack would've been more realistic y'know, you noob author.
{ Eun Bi's P.O.V }
"Clothes, done. Toiletries, done. Skin care and make-up, done. Now are only left... The books." I said, once again sitting on the floor before digging inside the suitcase and pulling out the few books I had brought.
Oops. I accidentally brought Unnie's mangas as well.
Smiling a nervous smile on thoughts that what would Unnie make out of me the moment I tell her I brought her favourite manga's last volume, I started checking through the other books.
"Why do I have Unnie's notebook?" I mumbled as a worn-out notebook caught my eye.
Taking it out, I giggled at Unnie's ugly handwriting.
Seriously, why do I have this?
Going through the pages, all my actions stopped as something fell down from the notebook.
Ta-Tae's letter?
( Reference from Ch 17 )
As soon as I read that letter once again, my back hit the wall behind me as I put both hands on my face.
The actions I took at that time were now being viewed from a different angle to me. In my memories, the person who did that seemed like me but it was hard for me to believe I did such a thing.
Had I gone made at that time? What was I thinking?!
But what's the use of crying over spilt milk?
"How?" with the crumpled letter crumpling more in my sweaty hands, a tear rolled down my eye with more following after.
H-How can I be so selfish?!
How can I do this to my Unnie who always did everything for me?
She even sacrificed her friendship for me.
And this... this is what I did to her? Curses on me.
And Taehyung too. He treated me like a little sister and I knew that he liked Unnie. Still, I became so selfish at the thought that someday, I might be his first.
And just because of that childish and stupid thought, I lied to Unnie.
I don't know if something special during my time in America happened but the past Eun Bi seemed so childish to me that it made me want to travel in the past and slap some sense into her. I still don't know how I came to have such conclusion at that time but now that I thought about it rationally, I could see how irrational it was.
Hugging my legs to my chest as the letter fell down from my hands, tears streamed down from my eyes even though my face was expressionless.
"I-I'm sorry."
{ To Be Continued... }
A.N~~
So the answer to the question I asked in last chapter (who is the main character?) is...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
....
Once most loved and now most hated character, Lee Eun Bi, is the main character of this book even among the four leads.
It is true that Lee Eun Bi's actions have made readers dislike her but I can say this with assurity that in the upcoming chapters and especially in the end, people are going to love her again.
Hopefully ❤
