Yuna and I wave them good bye and she shuts the door after giving Ryujin a quick hug. She turns to me with a scowl and looks up. "Something's wrong. Tell me."

"You're crazy, Yun," I brush off, making my way off into the kitchen.

"Now is not the time to take offence to that, so I'll get back to it later. Beomgyu," she calls firmly, tugging at my arm to have me stay still.

"What, Yun?" I sigh.

"You're quiet. Quieter than usual."

"I'm just tired, okay?" I pull away from her, reaching over to grab a custard cup.

"No," she mutters, tossing it away.

"Hey, what gives-?"

She glares up at me in what I assume she believes is intimidating (it isn't), and traps me against the kitchen counter. Her arms come around me and cage me in. "Something is bothering you."

"Yes. You," I huff out in frustration. "Now, can I have my custard cup?"

"Oh, please. Tell me," she demands fiercely.

"It's nothing, Yun, please-"

"Tell me."

"Yun, I'm serious, let it go."

"Tell me."

"God, Yuna-"

"Tell me."

"Yuna-" I bite down on my lip and  inhale deeply. "Please, just let it go."

"No."

"Yuna, I- fuck!" I lean in toward her and let my head drop on her shoulder.

"Tell me," she whispers this time, her voice soft and pleading. Her hands reach out to cradle the back of my head, her fingers gently running through the strands of my hair.

I melt into her embrace instantly, burying myself into her shoulder for a solid minute.

"I... I'm scared. No, fucking terrified. I didn't think." I pull away to meet her eyes. "Yuna, I didn't think. I was living a delusion. This whole time, I... I'm fucked."

"Beomgyu, what are you talking about?" her brows furrow and she places a gentle palm, cupping my cheek.

I didn't think. I didn't think at all. Shit.

"He was right. Of course he was right. What was I thinking?"

"Beomgyu-"

"My dad," I cut her off. "My dad, he..."

"He, what? Beomgyu, what?"

The secret's out. What's the point of not telling her?

"He came to see me. When you and Ms Kang left the other day to get lunch together."

I had my back to the front door. I was busy arranging the donuts by color. The bell rang, signalling the entrance of a costumer. I brought my head up and turned to them with a smile.

"Hi, welcome to Magic Island. What can I get...?"

The strawberry sprinkled jelly filled donut drops from my hand and falls to the ground.
