I think I need help omg....I'm obsessed with writing this. I'm currently in the car on a longgggg fricking road trip ride to NYC (We spent last night in Savannah) and I cant get the story out of my head so Im just typing this on my phone IDEC. The format will be wonky bc I almost pulled my hair out trying to edit on my phone. Will fix later when I'm back home. VIRAL LOVE Chapter 17 - BAGGAGES Mo-yeon keeps shut until they're safely inside Myeong-joo's bookstore. Myeong-joo closes the door, turns the 'OPEN' sign to 'CLOSED' and then turns back to her. She holds one finger up when Mo-yeon starts to open , "Just a moment, Mo-yeon Ssi. I have to call my brother." "Ommo, do you really--" Too late, Myeong-joo already has him on the line. "Yeoboseoyo" .... "You need to come here right now, Si-jin." .... "Our beloved father was here, no not in my shop, he went to the coffee shop and talked to Mo-yeon Ssi." ..... Silence. Mo-yeon can literally feel the temperature dropping a single degree. "She's fine, I don't know what he wants. Come now. Do you want to talk to her?" .... Mo-yeon holds her breath waiting for his answer. "Haish jinjja.... Ok then. See you." She hangs up and Mo-yeon can't help but feel disappointed that he didn't want to talk to her. Myeong-joo looks up at her and smiles. "He said he wants to look at you when he talks. His words not mine. " --- "How did you find out...." "About you guys? Oh we've known since like early this month." "We? Who else!? And that long already!?" Myeong-joo shrugs. "Everyone on your team and us on Si-jin's side. Oppa and Sunbae said it's better to leave you alone and wait till you guys are ready to tell us and everyone agreed." Mo-yeon is speechless. "So all this time...?" Myeong-joo snickers. "You guys think you are so sly? Your face is so obvious. Si-jin's been grinning like he scored a million dollar lottery and you guys thought we wouldn't notice? Haish jinjja!" Mo-yeon bits her lip. "Mianheyo, Myeong-joo Ssi." Myeong-joo's eyes soften as she watches the older woman. "Nothing to be sorry about, Mo-yeon Ssi. In fact I should say thank you to you...I've never seen him this happy. And to find someone like you... I can't be more grateful." There's warmth spreading through Mo-yeon's heart at her boyfriend's sister's words. She hesitates, "Your father..." Myeong-joo sighs. "I'm terribly sorry about that, Mo-yeon Ssi. He's been a flirt all his life that he really doesn't know how to act otherwise. I know he must've made you feel uncomfortable." Mo-yeon forces a smile. "Gwenchanayo... but Si-jin never talks about him." "That's because we don't have any relationship with him. Do you, do you know about our family history?" Mo-yeon nods. "A little. Your mom died of cancer and your dad errrr...." "He cheated on her. Many times. I think our childhood memories were just them fighting. He would go out, got drunk, came back smelling like a woman's perfume and they would fight again...a few times he was so drunk i
