Chapter 35
My Invisible Husband[Let's skip those not so important days]
It's been a week since Na Rae haven't gone to school. Being worried, I tried to contact her but of no use. I tried to ask Baekhyun what has happened, but he too, isn't around.
And I can't just go there and visit Na Rae in her house. She told me once that I can't go there unless I will inform her mother ahead of time, and not is too late to ask permission.
I was heading to the cafeteria when my phone received a call from her.
"Sunju-ya."
"Glad you finally called."
"Can you come here? In the house? Please."
"Oh?"
"I already told Mom. Please?"
"Yeah sure. Actually... I was waiting for that. I'm on my way." And with that I rode a bus on my way there.
"Sunju." Her mom greeted me with a very gentle smile as I bowed and then I entered the house. "Just wait here for a while okay? I'll be back with snacks for you."
"Deh. Kamsahamnida." This is what I like here in Na Rae's residence.Na Rae told me they practice Filipino culture here. I looked around. It seems like the house had been renovated since I last visited here, which was last year. There were already picture frames on the walls, pictures of her family.
And wait... I think I saw something familiar. I stood up and neared the certain greyscale photo of a man and a woman, apparently in their mid-20's. And the man looks like... Chanyeol.
Definitely. He looks like Park Chanyeol.
The truth struck me. He lived before. There's a possibility it's actually him.
"They are Na Rae's grandparents."
Grandparents.
I looked at Na Rae's mom in amusement. I don't know if I'd laugh or beam, but there's a part in me that ached a bit.
My heart.
She was about to talk again when Na Rae spoke.
"Sunju." Sadness filled her face. I neared her and we both entered the room. She then embraced me and cried. I was surprised with what she did. What happened?
"Na Rae.."
"Baekhyun... he's .... he's a bastard!" she sobbed more.
My mind went black. I just heard Na Rae continue to say things which I cannot comprehend. All that was in my mind was that photo I saw a moment ago.
"Sunju are you listening?"
"Uh? Y-yeah. Sorry for what happened." Na Rae wiped her tears and frowned.
"Wait... Sunju what has gotten into you?"
"What's the name of your grandfather?"
I shook my hands, "I'm sorry Na Rae."
Sigh. "Anyways, just... both of you must talk about that."
"I'd slap him if I'd see his face again." Stuttering, I looked for words to tell her. "Aish. This problem can't be fixed if that's your behavior." She whined. Usually I'd scold her but today it's like I was annoyed.
"Please, Na Rae. Talk to him."
"Then come with me on that day." I nodded without hesitation.
I got home confused. I actually ruined everything today.
