39 | The CEO

Y/N's POV

After what happened yesterday, I called the Baek family and asked about the details of Chaerin's departure, I also asked if I can come with her at the airport, since it'll take some time before the two of us would see eachother again

While we were on our way to Incheon, Chaerin, didn't say a word, so I would always end up starting the conversation. I asked random questions, point out random things, and do whatever.

By the time we reached the airport, we just bid our goodbyes at the main entrance, hugged, and the both of us parted ways, I understand if she's not comfortable though. The driver of the Baek family was kind enough to drive me back home where everyone was still sleeping, no one really knows that I went to the airport with Chaerin, I didn't even inform my brother, then again, is it necessary for them to know?

I shrugged and went to my room to sleep

.....

By the time I woke up, it was already late in the afternoon, so everyone else must be awake, I hope no one went inside my room and messed with my things. I felt myself yawn, should I just sleep again? Nah, I have to keep the house alive

I forced myself to stand up and get out of my room, luckily, my body cooperated, I started going down the stairs, and saw everyone surrounding the TV, they must be having a movie marathon or something

Beomgyu turned around "Noona! You should join us!" He pointed at the extra space in the couch, I nodded in agreement and I was about to join them but someone pulled me by the arm

It was Jimin

With an expressionless face again

I'd be nervous but he was in pajamas, how are you supposed to act seriously or at least feel uneasy when the person is a short guy and he's wearing cute yellow pj's ? I decided to not show any expression as well

Jimin pulled me away from the living room, and he brought the two of us into the kitchen, his right hand was holding my arm, while his left hand was holding his phone, and he's holding it tightly, does it mean that he received unwanted news? Does he finally have a girlfriend and he wants to tell me that without being obvious? Or will he just ask for a favor but something bad happened a while ago that's why his face is like that? Actually, only the first one made sense so let's go with that

Jimin handed over his phone to me

huh?

"Call mom" He instructed "She'll tell you everything"

"I don't see why you can't do it instead" I raised an eyebrow at him, and placed down his phone on a table, refusing to call our mother unless he would at least give me a short background about what's happening

"It's your fault that you slept for a long time! Also, stop being stubborn" He groaned and got the phone from the table, he tossed it to me, my body automatically caught it before it fell to the ground, when I got ahold of the device, I was supposed to give Jimin a piece of my mind but he went back to the living room

I didn't want to ruin the boys' movie marathon so I was forced to call mom anyways, I dialed her number and she answered immediately "Jimin? Did something happen?" her voice was filled with worry

"Oh no, this is Y/N"

"I'm guessing that Jimin wouldn't tell you?"

"Well yeah, but what exactly were you two talking about? The confusion is killing me"

"Well...."

"Mhm?"

"Y/N.... I know these words are hard to process, well, Jimin sounded like he wasn't affected-"

"Mom please go to the point" If they are indeed hard to accept or whatever, then talking like that wouldn't help at all, well, it's just my opinion

"Y/N.... Your father.... He passed away recently"

"Oh...." Well, I don't know what to say, nor feel, am I horrible daughter because of that? Dad left some kind of note or letter right? Explaining unfinished business or something else?

"I understand if you are mad at him but please-"

"No no! I'm just confused with what I'm supposed to feel, do you want us to go there? Mom you could ask us for anything, you know that, but I'm also sure that you have something else in mind so I should shut up for you to talk now"

She sighed "Actually, I'm going to visit you and your brother, I'll be leaving Busan within this week, and I have some business matters that needs to be done quickly so I'm staying at your house for a few days, I hope you don't mind"

"Not at all"

"Good, see you soon then, I have to go now, all of your father's responsibilities have been given to me, keep safe okay? And both of you should learn to call me every now and then"

"Yes mom" I reassured her and hung up, I sighed, is this why Jimin didn't want to tell me? He didn't want to talk about our father so he passed it to mom? Tch. But, dad couldn't have been killed, he had the best body guards and security systems that anyone could imagine

Suicide is a big no because his pride won't allow it. Probably a life threatening illness? If that was the case, none of us were aware of dad's condition... But why am I thinking like this all of a sudden? Everything's done, we should move on, that's quite a sad reality

I went to the living room and sat beside Jungkook, I looked at the TV, my mind was blank, I don't know how to absorb the information that I just got, well, I also don't know what to do with it, maybe trying to distract myself is a good thing to do for now

"Are you okay?" Jungkook whispered, I jumped a bit and looked at him, he was just watching the movie "Sorry" he said again without looking towards my direction

I nodded

"Condolence by the way, we're all here for you and hyung remember that" I smiled at him, I'm glad that he's my closest friend amongst the guys, I mouthed a 'thank you' at him, then he handed me some popcorn and finally looked at me and showed his bunny smile that I haven't seen in ages "Eat, you'll feel better"
