Chapter 11 - #10

Yesa sat next to Yohan's bed holding a tab that was playing CCTV of last night's incident. He couldn't even believe he saw Jasmine carrying out the interrogation.

"Van," Yesa called while turning off the screen, he felt he had seen enough of what happened.

"Yes sir."

"You know Yohan, right? You really don't know what he's trying to find out?"

"I asked him before if he trying to find some information, and he said this is not the time. I asked Adelian too, and he said, Yohan trying to find information about a beauty company founded about a year ago."

"Beauty company? A year ago?"

"Yes, and I don't know more."

Yesa and Devan know that Yohan is a person who often seeks information from other people, and if he has to find out about something he will get it by any means.

But, he lost consciousness twice already, this must be something.

Yohan seemed to have started to wake up when he started moving right and left.

Yesa immediately threw a sofa pillow at Yohan's face and made him wake up.

"Fucckk!!"

Yohan almost exploded and wanted to get angry, but when he saw Yesa sitting in front of him in his neat clothes and Devan who was standing beside him.

Yohan immediately sat on the bed, holding back a headache after being drunk yesterday.

"Do you have a meeting today? Why are you here?"

Yesa threw the small camera that was used in the room yesterday.

"Last night, you were drunk again and taken again to a private room. What are you actually doing?"

"I can't talk now."

"Yohan, I never underestimate your judgment, but when it happened twice you almost became a sex tape victim, I think you should talk to me now, what's really going on right now?"

"I can't tell you, this is not something you should worry about."

"If you don't want to make me worry, things like this shouldn't have happened."

Yohan looked at Devan and he understood and immediately left Yohan's room.

"I know eventually I will tell you what I'm looking for, but not now, because I don't know yet either."

"Devan said you found out about the cosmetics company.

"Cunning fox," Yohan spoke spontaneously while looking at the door.

"Yohan, I told him to find out, don't blame him."

Yohan was silent for a moment, then spoke. "I've heard about Yuna's company."

"Their profits have decreased, I heard."

Yohan told what he already knew from several people he had asked.

Not only Yesa know how Yohan is, but vice versa, both of them know what is important to each other.

Yesa knows who is the most important person to Yohan.

Yohan knows someone who is important to Yesa.

"And if this continues, Yuna's company could go bankrupt."

"Then what do you think?"

"We have to step in. You have to step in."

"I'll find the money then."

"Wait," Yohan got out of bed, opened the drawer of his work desk, and took out a card. "Not as much as you think, but take this," Yohan threw the card at Yesa.

"Are you sure?"

"Yuna is also my sister."

"Thanks"

"Well, thank you for saving my ass last night."

"Oh, I'm not the one who saved you," said Yesa as he opened the bedroom door. "Alexa is the one who saved you, as soon as she found out you were at the club she called me and I told Devan to pick you up."

"Sir," Devan tried to stop him but Yesa quickly said everything.

"Why?" asked Yesa.

"Jasmine said Yohan should not know about her coming right after the incident."

"So it's Alexa who came to save me?"

Devan nodded. "He was the one who broke the private room door, even though his legs are sprained."

Yohan fell silent. What does this mean, why does she make me confused?

"Try talking to Alexa, maybe you just misunderstood about her," said Yesa then left the room, leaving Yohan still asking questions in his head and heart.

Flashback

Yesa got out of the car, it was almost midnight, but he had quite a lot of work to do that day. He went up the stairs and was surprised to see someone sitting in front of Yohan's room.

Yesa turned on the hallway light and it turned out to be Jasmine sitting with a cake box beside her.

"Alexa? What are you doing there, it's already late."

"Oh," Jasmine woke up from her reverie and saw Yesa crouching in front of her. Jasmine wiped her tears. "What time is it?"

Yesa took the phone and looked at the time. "11:57," as if he just realized because of the notification that appeared on his cell phone. "It's your and Yohan's birthday, right?"

Jasmine smiled but Yesa saw it as a smile that already contained a lot of pain. Yesa knew Yohan would definitely not come home this time.

"Yohan said he would come home at 10 so we could blow out the candles together, but I think he forgot."

Yesa, as an older brother, cannot take sides between the two, he can only support them.

Yesa finally chose to sit in front of Jasmine, took the cake, put on the candles, and lit it.

"Make a wish and blow out the candles."

Jasmine closed her eyes, folded her hands, and made another wish from years before. When she opened her eyes she blew out the candle, then looked at Yesa.

"Can you make my wish come true?"

"What wish did you make?"

"I have been accepted into South Wales. Can you accompany me there today?"

"Don't you want to say goodbye to Yohan first? You guys should be on the same campus, right?"

Jasmine shook her head. "Yohan already has his own life, he's fine without me by his side and I can't stand seeing him with Clare. This torture must end."

Yesa hugged Jasmine. The one thing that hurt Jasmine the most was not the fight between her and her father, but realizing that in Yohan's world, there was no longer Jasmine.

Even though Jasmine still wants Yohan to be in her life.

Jasmine covered up many things, even the permanent injuries that Jasmine experienced.

Everyone knows, but only Yohan doesn't know and even Jasmine still chooses Yohan, even though she knows that Yohan is no longer there in her life.

No matter how much Jasmine wished Yohan never saw her. And how much she hates Yohan, she always loves him.
