Aware

"Do you know about it? "

The moment I entered the house that's the first thing that came out of my mouth. German casually dropped off his feet from the sofa.

"Yes,"

So they all know all along. He knew all along. Then why...

"Since when?"

"The day after Remus' birthday."

That long? I shut my eyes to stop my anger get to me.

"Why didn't you tell me..."

"It is not something I should unveil to you myself. I am not deserving to talk about something that's left unannounced."

I nodded, eyes closed still.

Of course, he wouldn't. Since I met him, he stands by the principle of not spilling others' secrets or opinions unless it is his.

Which is both good and bad.

Good, as he respects others' privacy too much. Allowing the owner to have their own timing to speak it up simply because they own it.

And bad, because his known secret could have made someone's life better if only he decided to speak of it, but he didn't.

I opened my eyes and fixed it nowhere but the stairs. This will make me sleepless for the rest of the night.

"I'll go take a rest." I coldy bid and went up.
