I was beginning to realize that this family was not the ideal type of family as they had their own misunderstandings on differences. I rushed and followed her out of the kitchen where she had her breakfast but as soon as she got to the dining room, she simply bowed to Grandma and ignored every other person on the table, and walked out.
I already knew she was not close to her mom but I never expected it to be this bad regardless, I followed her out as I would do anything to avoid that table right now. But while I was going out I noticed that Lu Jinho was not on the table yet.
After we go outside, I took her by the hand and she turned and looked at me with a face that looked like it was asking what exactly was I doing.
"Ahh sorry". I said and immediately let go of her hand.
"Stop following me". She said and left. I couldn't say anything because it was true that I was actually following her. I saw her get into a car and leave and then, I went back inside but just then, it struck me that Lu Jinho wasn't down yet so I decided to go and check on him.
When I go to the room I noticed was nowhere to be found so I assumed he was in the restroom and I decided to look to see if he was okay or not. I knocked for a while but no reply so I decided to go in and check. I went in to check but he wasn't there at all. I began checking the entire house.
"Is he crazy or something? How can he leave me alone with his entire family and not even care at all?"
I kept ranting to myself and just then, I passed a room and I heard someone crying so I came back to check. Luckily, the door was opened a little but enough for me to see what was going on inside. I began peeking and I saw Yoon Nana crying and next to her, I saw Lu Jinho.
" You are not in your right state of mind right now. Let's never talk about this again".
He was about to leave the room when she held him by his hand.
"Lu Jinho, wait! Don't you get what I'm saying? Please don't leave me like this, if you leave, I might as well just kill myself".
I couldn't see his face but I knew he was irritated or so I hoped.
"Let go of my hand now! Trust me, you don't want to see me to anything that we will both regret".
Looks like she was rather playing difficult as she refused to leave his hand. But regardless, it looked like Lu Jinho was not taking it lightly anymore as he pulled his hand out of hers and angrily walked out of the room, and then, boom! I bumped right into his chest.
"Ahh! Hehehe, hi". I said as I looked up to see his face. The way he was looking at me made me feel really short.
"Were you eavesdropping?" I looked at her wanting to say something back but Lu Jinho beat me to it.
"Let's go, babe, we'll miss our flight".
'Huh? Babe? Did I hear wrong or did he actually just call me babe?'
Looking at Yoon Nana's face, a satisfactory smile crept up my face. We went back to the room and surprisingly, we both didn't say a word. Normally, we would have both been on each other's case by now but we actually didn't talk to each other instead, we just packed our bags and left the room.
When we got to the living room, the entire family was there so we said our goodbyes, and everyone said goodbye to us except for aunt Quin Li. That woman was really weird like a walking statue.
We got to the airport and in no time, we were on our way back home. Three days passed by so fast and I surprisingly missed Jagi.
I don't know why but Lu Jinho was not talking to me. It was almost like he was avoiding me. I kept looking at him.
'What is wrong with him? Is it because he saw me eavesdropping?'
That was the only thing I could think about.
'But then, if he was mad at me because of that, then why did he call me babe? Ahh Shin Suri, you definitely are naive. Of course, he only called you babe for show, it was all an act'.
After some hours, we finally got back home. I rushed to Joo Ah's room to see them but no one was there so I went ahead to check the garden still to no avail. Suddenly, I just had a hunch to check the torture house and when I got there, I saw all three of them with the prisoner.
"What are you doing here?"
I asked with my brow raised. Suddenly, my happy mode was gone and I was beginning to feel really wary for some reason.
"Shin Suri, you are back". Joo Ah and Jagi came over to say hi but I couldn't show any excitement right now.
Back in Lu Jinho's study room, Yu Lei came over to see him.
"Any news yet?"
"Not yet but I found out something else".
Lu Jinho raised his head to look at the man in front of him as if telling him to say what he had to say already.
"Your childhood friend, she might have survived".
