What she said was bothering me. Even though I tried to look nonchalant about the entire thing, I was freaking out on the inside.
"If what she said is true, I'll have to tell Lu Jinho as soon as possible".
I stopped walking for a while and began thinking about something.
'If I tell him without proper evidence, he'll definitely not believe me. I have to find proof first then I can tell him'.
"Shin Suri!!"
I turned around just to see Joo Ah running towards me. Suddenly, all the anger swelling inside me melted. I don't know why, but for some reason, I feel really safe around her. I know how I was feeling was risky and it made me vulnerable but I didn't know how to stop.
I looked at the girl running toward me and smiled. She looked so innocent and free-spirited. Plus she looked like she could pass out if she didn't stop running.
"I'm so sorry, I heard you've been looking for me. I didn't mean to make you worry I would have called if I had a phone".
"Well, we'll have to get you one as soon as possible. You can't make me worry like that".
"I'm really really sorry".
We began walking back to the house.
"So, where were you?"
I noticed she stopped walking. I turned back to look at her. She looked like she was looking around for something.
"We can't talk about it here, let's got to my room".
After saying this, she dragged me by the hand and led me to her room. Jagi was there and it was obvious she was bored to death.
"Shin Suri, you have to help Lu Jinho".
I looked at her with one brow raised. I didn't understand what she meant by that. Besides, she doesn't know anything about Ju Min. Or does she?
"What do you mean by that?"
"I was inside that forest-like place".
She said while pointing to the forest at Lu Jinho's mansion. Personally, I don't know what he has that for but I felt he probably likes nature.
"What....were you doing there?"
"I know, I didn't get any permission to go there so I shouldn't have but, I had a lot on my mind so when you went to that event I decided to take a walk".
I didn't say anything else. I just kept looking at her and surprisingly, the talkative Jagi was also very quiet.
Ever since she started talking, we found out she loved talking a lot.
"Okay, either way, there are people in the forest and I don't think they are supposed to be there".
As soon as I heard what she said, I stood up abruptly with my eyes opened wide.
'If what she is saying is true then that means Ju Min is really inside the mansion'.
"Why are you telling me this? What can I possibly do?"
"Warn him! It's obvious they are here to hurt him. I heard them saying they'll attack when something is delivered, I don't know what it is but we can't just sit and wait can we?"
"Why do you care if anything happens to him"?
I went close to her hoping she would deny what I was going to ask her next.
"Are you close to Kim Yuri?"
She kept looking at me and after a while, she nodded her head proving she was.
"How do you expect me to believe what you are saying when both you and Kim Yuri said the same thing?"
"What?"
I could see the disappointment in her eyes. She looked like I said something she definitely didn't expect to hear.
I knew what I was doing was absurd. I asked her to look after Kim Yuri when I traveled and there's no way they are in cahoots because she has been in the forest for a long time and I locked Kim Yuri up before I went to the event.
'This won't do, I'm not thinking straight'.
I walked out leaving both Joo Ah and Jagi alone in the room. I need to get my acts straight. A part of me believes what she is saying but another part of me feels really wary. Probably because I don't trust easily.
After Shin Suri left the room Joo Ah looked so pissed she could break anything right now.
"What is wrong with her? If she won't tell him, I'll tell him myself".
"Because he is your brother?"
All the anger on Joo Ah's face was suddenly replaced with shock. She turned back and looked at Jagi.
"Is he your brother?"
"Ho....how?"
"You're not so difficult to read Joo Ah. Shin Suri can't tell because her judgment is clouded at the moment. That's the man she loves, she can't trust you when you admitted to being close to someone who tried to kill her".
"What do you mean by that? She'd never try to kill anyone".
"I don't know what her intentions were but she did try to kill her and Lu Jinho".
Joo Ah looked more surprised than ever it was a revelation she didn't want to believe. But then again, she knew Lu Jinho and Shin Suri wouldn't hurt someone for no reason.
"But...but how did she know that someone was in the forest?"
Jagi said nothing. It was obvious she didn't know either.
The day went by pretty fast and before anyone could tell, it was already evening. Shin Suri spent the whole day in the training room. She kept hitting and shooting and kicking and lifting. She did a lot of training, a normal person would have passed out already.
After a while, I realized I had calmed down a bit so I decided to go take a shower and rest. But when I got to my room, I realized it was evening already. I personally didn't think I spent that much time in the training room.
After a long calming shower, I went over to my bed to rest a little but I couldn't. I stood up immediately and headed to Joo Ah's room.
When I got there, she stood up immediately. It was as though she was waiting for me to come over.
"Take me to the forest".
