(Play: Traitor by Olivia Rodrigo on loop)

Ryujin's POV:

"He's drunk. Let me take him home"

I don't know why but Haechan looks mad. I let him take Jaemin home because I feel like they have something to talk about. I want to give them privacy

It took Haechan 30 minutes to come back which means there's really something going on. I waited for him in the kitchen because my curiosity won't let me sleep 

"How is he?" I asked

He looked at me with his soulless eyes like he already expected to see me here

"He's fine. He's just drunk" he answered shortly and was about to go upstairs when I stopped him

"Is there something going on? Jaemin cried. Did he tell you something?" I asked worriedly

He took a deep breath and keep on whisphering something that I can't understand. I heard him saying profanities so I was taken aback

"I'm sorry---"

"You trust Jaemin, right?" he suddenly asked

"Eh?" I asked confusedly but he just remained silent like he's waiting for my answer

"O-Of course. I trust him" I answered

"Jaemin might change. Things might change but I want you to trust and understand him. Can you do that, Ryujin-ah?" he seriously asked

Jaemin might change? But why?

"W-Wait, you're making me nervous. Can you tell me what's going on?" I laughed awkwardly 

"Jaemin doesn't want you to know. I don't want you to know either. It's better for you to be clueless about it until Jaemin fixed everything" he held my shoulders and smiled

"Trust your boyfriend. Trust me. Trust us"

For some reasons, the uneasiness and my worries suddenly vanished because of what he said. I can feel his sincerity. I want to know what's going on but I think I need to respect their decision

"Okay. I trust you" I said and smiled

We both go upstairs. I was about to enter my room when Haechan spoke

"Please don't leave his side. He's willing to walk on the sea of fire just to be with you in the end" he meaningfully said before he entered his room

What he said never left my mind. I started looking back at what happened these past few days and weeks to guess what's going on with Jaemin

We're all good these past few weeks. I can't remember anything bad that happened except our first argument in France

Oh wait...

Jaemin came to Daegu when Ji Eun woke up but he never mentioned anything that happened while he was there. He never opened up about it. I never asked even though I'm curious because I thought he will mention it once he didn't

Was it because of her?

Or maybe there's another reason...

Was it because of his father again?

Ack! This is so frustrating!

I really want to know

I want to help him

I rolled my eyes when Beomgyu didn't answered my call. He's always like this these days. He's always rejecting my calls and will ask me to just text what I wanted to say
