When Hyung had his accident, everyone initially believed it was orchestrated by our business rivals. That's why our family sent us away for safety. But I couldn't stay away I returned after a week to see Hyung and Tae.
When I got back, Tae was missing, and Hyung was in a coma. It was only then that we discovered the truth: it wasn't an accident-it was a suicide attempt. The reason behind it was kept a secret from everyone. Tae's disappearance added to the confusion. No one could figure out where she had gone.
Then, she appeared-Hyung's mother. She stayed by his side every day, taking care of him as a nurse, but no one knew her true identity at the time. I don't know what happened between them during those days, but one day, Hyung woke up.
For two, maybe three weeks, he stayed with us. He seemed fine-at least on the surface. But then, suddenly, he left. He went with his mother, accusing Appa of cheating on her with Papa. The revelation tore everything apart.
Since then, I've been in the dark. I don't know what really happened. Jimin looks down, his voice trailing off. He starts to hate me, and he hates everyone else too.
"And Tae... I believe he's no longer with us," Jimin said quietly, his voice heavy with emotion.
The others just stared at him, unsure how to respond.
"We need to bring them back," Soobin finally spoke, his determination cutting through the silence. "Both Tae and Hyung-together."
"But what about that witch?" Jungwon pouted, crossing his arms.
"Witch?" Lisa raised an eyebrow, confused.
"Yes, that witch who stole my name!" Jungwon exclaimed. "Uncle Jin's son."
"Jungkook doesn't like that boy," Lisa added with a shrug. "But that's not the problem. Aah, Jin and his husband are separated now."
"Why?" Soobin asked, frowning.
"No idea," Lisa replied with a sigh.
"Namjoon's here now," Yeonjun chimed in. "I saw it in the news. He's starting some new projects in the country."
Jimin's gaze darkened with renewed determination. "Hmmm... We need to find Taehyung. As soon as possible."
Where are you Taetae? Yeonjun took a deep breath.
*********
"My father, Jeoni's father, and my father's ex-husband were best friends since school. They shared everything-or so it seemed. My father had a lover, Taron-my mother. But my father's ex secretly loved him, and Jeoni's father knew about it. Together, they plotted against my mother, driving her away and breaking my father's heart. Left shattered, my father married his ex-husband.
That's when Jungwon and I were born. My mother passed away not long after. I was left to suffer in silence, a child lost in the chaos of betrayal and loss.
As I grew up, everything changed. One day, Jeoni found me. He brought me into his life, and for the first time, I felt like I belonged somewhere. I met his family. I met Jimin hyung. Before I knew it, our marriage was arranged. I thought my story would finally have a happy ending.
But then, the storm returned. Jungwon and my father's ex showed up at our home, and everything fell apart. Jeoni turned to me and said, 'I don't want to marry you.'
I couldn't accept it. I went to his office to confront him, but that's where the unthinkable happened. That old man-my father's ex's father-tried to kill me. They dumped my body in some remote village, thinking they'd gotten rid of me for good. But my father found me.
When he saw me, he recognized the face that mirrored my mother's-his first and only love. That's how he realized I was his son. He took me back, kicking out his ex-husband and Jungwon from his life. I felt bad for them-I really did-but they were the villains in my story.
My father took me to the USA, gave me a new life, and helped me become the person I am today. A 'good boy, as they say. But here's the thing-1 still love Jeoni. I never stopped. That's why I jumped in front of him with my cycle when I saw him again.
He paused dramatically, eyes shining with conviction. "Now, do you understand?"
Li blinked, utterly lost. "No..."
"Why don't you understand this simple thing?!" Tae groaned, throwing his hands in the air. "Look, my father-"
"Tae! What are you doing here?" Joon's voice interrupted. "Go to bed-it's already 9."
Tae sighed dramatically, hopping off the table. "Goodnight, Li. I'll explain it all tomorrow." He shuffled off to his room.
Li stared after him, exasperated. "It's been two years, and I still don't understand a single thing he's said,". "And now, he's adding even more to the story. Who is Jeoni? And why on earth did he jump in front of him with a cycle? Also, how does someone even jump with a cycle?! he muttered.
"I've been hearing this story for five years," Cook chimed in, rubbing his temples. "It still makes no sense."
"I'm only eight years old," the driver added, shaking his head. "And this little dracula never explains anything properly."
The nurse sighed heavily. "I've been hearing this story since I met him, and I still don't understand a single word."
"Tomorrow, he has an interview at Jeon's company," the bodyguard said, his tone a mix of exhaustion and disbelief. "I don't even want to imagine what he's going to do there..."
The room fell silent for a moment as everyone exchanged knowing looks.
"He'll probably turn the interview into another episode of his tragic love saga," Li muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Or jump in front of Jeoni with a cycle again," Cook added with a smirk, earning a round of stifled laughs.
The bodyguard sighed heavily, leaning back against the wall. "If that boy gets through this without causing a disaster, I'll consider it a miracle."
