Chapter 43

Tori

"Are you fucking kidding me!?" I squeal. Rina just handed me and my Dad each a onesie. His had a number 1 printed on it and mine had a 2. I rush in to hug her and my Dad quickly follows behind. We all laugh and jump up and down.

"We are having twins!!" I yell. 

We don't have much time to celebrate though, she has to leave for work. I go to the fridge and grab the lunch I packed for her and help her out the door. Damn I make a great husband, and we are having two babies." 

I frown at the thought, I'm so happy for Rina. I just wish she had Tae with her. I can tell how much she loves him and misses him. She has sworn me to secrecy though and doesn't want to ruin Tae's life. It has put a real strain on my relationship with Kang. I feel like a liar, and knowing how much he cares for Tae it will hurt him that I have been lying. 

I don't want to lie. Honestly I don't even get Rina's reasoning but I will always put her first. With perfect timing I hear a buzz at my thigh. I pull the phone out of my leggings pocket and see Kang's face requesting a facetime call. 

"Hello beautiful." I see a slight smile on his face. All my worries instantly fade away. 

"Hello, Mr. Worldwide." I scrunch my nose and smirk at him. He laughs, and I melt.

His English has already improved so much in the past few months. His face grows serious and he speaks, "It's crazy how much seeing your face changes my mood. I had a lot on my mind, and it just vanished." 

I smile at him, "I was just thinking the same thing. Thank you, for being my safe place." 

"Well you go first, tell me what's on your mind." 

I stop, what can I say? "You know just work, and my friend moved in so that's been a lot of work." 

"Well atleast I know you'll have your best friend with you. That makes me feel better, since I can't." My stomach drops, why is he so sweet? He doesn't even know that Rina is pregnant with basically his nephews and that Tae Woo has no idea. I can't keep this act up much longer at all. 

"What's up with you?" I look into his dark eyes. A small amount of eyeliner is still in place, probably from whatever famous person stuff he was doing earlier. 

He lets out a big sigh, "I don't even know where to start. I just don't even recognize him anymore. Now he is hurting all of us." 

I cut him off. "Who?" 

"Tae Woo." He mutters. "Okay, start at the beginning." I coax. 

"I don't even know when it started. Suddenly he just wouldn't listen, he was angry. I think at the director. He won't tell me anything." I need more information. Maybe he isn't as big of a douche as I thought. I have to get to the bottom of this, I need to know everything before I can let Rina know. 

"So what does he say to management?" 

"I don't know, they keep having all of these meetings in private. I'm in the dark. All I heard last is that he wants everyone to go on military leave. It's the prime of our career though, I still have two more years. I don't get why he is so obstinate. I try to talk to him, and he says I wouldn't understand. He won't even give me a chance to try."

I'm at such a loss, and I really think I need to come clean. I need to talk to Rina. See what she thinks. We could use Kang to speak with Tae, or at least find out what's going on. I hope he is good, but I also understand that Rina is a mother now. She can't jeopardize her children's wellbeing. I just don't know what to do. 

I must've let my demeanor slip, "Are you sure everything is okay?" I look up and smile. "Oh yeah I'm fine, just tired." His confused face has my walls crumbling. I can't keep this up much longer.
