Chapter 10

"The food... IS READY!!!"

-||-

Jimin didn't seem to be fazed at the way Matthew was and let out a small chuckle.

"Matthew you don't always have to be so precise. Look at you! You're all worked up!!"

I felt a bit nervous as Matthew walked closer to us.

He stopped right beside me and set the food down. On the other table that wasn't broken.

"Before the food gets cold you should start eating."

I look up at him and his eyes lock onto mine.

I watch as his red eyes slowly start to fade.

His expression asks me "will you be ok?"

As I look at him I realize I'm not.

I need comfort. All that I just learned...

I realize I'm not ready.

I look over at Jimin who is now glaring at Matthew.

"I'll be back some other time. For now, I'm heading out. Matthew please come with me."

Jimin just slowly goes to the food, never taking his glare off of Matthew.

I've laid in bed all the thoughts I just learned racing through my head.

Suddenly I feel movement next to me. Matthew.

"Jiwoo... something happened in there."

It wasn't a question, but a statement.

"Yes."

He sighed and sat at the foot of my bed.

"Look Jiwoo, you don't have to tell me what happend, but just know that I'm on your side. I always will be."

"Look Matthew... it's been bothering me lately but... why do you work for Jimin??"

He slowly exhales and he glances at me with a sad smile.

"Well my family has always served Jimin's family. But when I met him... he was 10 and I was 5. And he was just... so different from now. I saw him as an older brother but now he's just... messed up."

Suddenly I felt an urge to hug him.

I sat up and without thinking engulfed him into a hug.

"It's ok Matthew, you don't have to tell me everything."

He gently smiles and pulls me closer to him.

"Neither do you."

And as we hug I feel my heart start jumping away.

I few moments pass and there's just silence.

"Jiwoo... I'm sorry for bursting in like that. I could've ruined the plan."
