Chapter 41 – Underground
After a chaotic night with NCTDREAM, they finally return to the Head Quarter. They were all exhausted and tired. The warehouse from last night was destroyed, but no one really worried about that. A warehouse catching on fire wasn’t as interesting news as ‘Heir if Suh Corp in a car accident hours before his wedding, currently resting.
Johnny couldn’t help but snickered at how everything turned out. His image was still clean, his plans were finally going according to schedule, and no one found out what really happened. If only that crazy woman could remain out of his life and mind, then everything would be perfect.
He parks his car in the underground garage of NCT127’s hideout, his mind was still replaying the events of this morning. He couldn’t help but let his anger boil when he remembered chairman Jeon’s words. He was insulting Mr and Mrs Harper. Johnny could tolerate his parents rants. He had grown used to them, but he couldn’t handle someone down-talking the two people who had helped him when he was in need.
Something about chairman Jeon’s words irked him, ‘I have a history of faking car accidents. Those exact words replayed and he made a mental note to ask Yuta to do a thorough background check on the man.
SoMi was the biggest factor of all his troubles. The woman had managed to piss him off, yet intrigue him like no one else could.
It wasn’t intentional that he had stumbled on her and Taeyong when they were talking. What she said surprised him. For one, he had never heard her talk that much without lashing out over something. It didn’t startle him, Taeyong had a way of making people feel comfortable around him. Maybe that was the reason why people trusted him so much, that until he decides to tie them down and break every bone in their body one by one.
Did she just not care, did it really matter that little to her? He didn’t know, but her answer flustered gun as much as it intrigued him.
Then he remembered everything that happened earlier. If only she knew how angry he was when he realized that the chairman abused her. He wanted to rope his arms around the old man’s neck and squeeze the life out of him. His anger only intensified from there.
He sighed, strolling into their kitchen when the members were digging into their own dinner. No one had eaten all day, and everyone was starving. He sat down on one of the stools, letting his head hit the countertop.
“You’re right.” He heard someone state. He turned around already knowing who had spoken. He was about to ask how she got in, but assumed that it’s Yuta. Yuta had been the only person who stayed back so it had to be him, plus he was the only one who wasn’t present.
“How did you get it?”
Taeil questioned. SoMi pointed towards the techie who had just walked into the room, answering the question.
Yuta seemed unamused by the conservation. He just grabbed his dinner, grab the seat next to Jaehyun and began eating.
“You’re right.” She corrected stepping towards Johnny. He sighed, he was already exhausted and he didn’t want to argue with her. “I am angry, and I am bitter. I’m also stubborn and completely nuts. She affirmed solidly, he remembered the speech he had given that morning. She was stating everything he had said.
“And I h@ťě you. I h@ťěd you so much for taking my parents away. Then I realized that you were probably hurt as much as I was, because in a way, they were also your parents. So I’m here to tell you, that I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you, all of you lost two people that were really important in your life.”
Just when he thought she couldn’t do anything else to shock him, she does, she does it in the most unexpected way. Here was the strong, tough Jeon SoMi apologizing for w lost that occurred a decade ago.
“And just so you know, I won’t ki|| you the first chance I get, and it’s not because you don’t deserve to die.” She finished before she turns on her heels and walks out of the room, they all stared at her walking away. Only when the front door closes did they finally breathe.
Silence infuses the room until Doyoung spoke, “What the hell happened between you two this morning?”
