The Forgotten

Chapter 16

"All good. Here take this" he handed me the bouquet as he dusted off himself. I took it from him and went inside

"Come on in. Do you want any drinks or something for your foot?" I took a vase from the cupboard and filled it with water enough for the stems of the flowers to reach

"Nope. Just hurry up so we could eat" he shooed me as he slouched on the sofa. I didn't even bother to argue with him because something about him just made me follow his orders.

After an hour of getting ready, I went out of my room and saw Kai watching tv laughing about something funny he just saw. I watch him as he wiped the tears off his eyes from laughing, he feels so comfortable, and just the sight of that feels very fulfilling. The apartment is suddenly filled with something other than sadness and tears. Lost in thoughts the tears just suddenly left my eyes

"Hey are you okay?" it was sudden but he was already in front of me wiping the tears off my cheeks and caressed my back. When I didn't even bother to explain why I was crying because honestly, I don't know the answer either-he pulled me into a hug as I buried my face on his chest.

"Hey, it's okay Jen. I'm here" he's right.

He's here

"Let's go eat. My treat" he broke the hug after a few minutes as I nodded smiling at him. I should really start moving on

"It's okay Chae. I know that even if I'm not here you took care of her" I smiled at her and squeezed her hands back but something seems off, she pulled her hand back or I was just thinking too much of her action? Maybe I was because as soon as she retreated her hand she grabs her glass of water and took a sip.

"I do have one question... How long have you been hiding this?" I watch as she glared at Jisoo who was sitting beside her. Jisoo begged for her life with her eyes looking at me but I just simply ignored it because I feel like this is something that I was no longer concerned about? Okay maybe I was but come on, these two are both in denial, just kiss already!

"Yah! Manobal! Tell her! Don't try and act innocent over there" she managed to compose herself pulling me into their argument but I turned my back and tried to call for the waiter to ask for more water

"Okay okay okay. I knew since the night she left, I actually called her that night. Remember when I kept on saying I was busy with work? Well, I was busy going back and forth from Seoul and Tongyeoung-si" Rose was about to let all hell let loose on Jisoo when I intervened
