13: Her Hidden Past

“I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS MATTER NOW!”

“Seunghyun!” Taeyeon screamed at Seunghyun’s reaction. He suddenly seemed so eager and Taeyeon could barely see his shock. “Calm down!”

Seunghyun shook his head. He needed to know about whatever happened in her past. “I need to know what had happened, Taeyeon…” Seunghyun said calmer this time. “So I need to know how I should talk to her or how I should treat her after this… I just need that much.”

“That’s the only things I can tell you, Seunghyun. It’s not in my position to tell you.” Taeyeon looked at him straight to his eyes. “It’s on Yoona.”

“But I really need to know…” Seunghyun practically begged (again). He didn’t care about his pride right now, what he needed is the story of his (ex) girlfriend. “I already told you why I need to know… Won't you be happy if I and Yoona are in good terms again?”

Damn Seunghyun and his words. Taeyeon could only sigh and she suddenly went to grab a chair. She sat in front of Seunghyun, and without any words, the story began…

And it worked. Since Taeyeon immediately leaned her back on the chair and told me the story.

“Do you know that Yoona is an orphan?”

For the umpteenth times today, I nodded.

“She lost her parents in a traffic accident when she was a senior in high school and unfortunately her parents didn’t leave much—only a house for her to live in and a bank account which can support her for a year that time,” Taeyeon stopped and tried to see my reaction. I didn’t too surprise by this, because I knew Yoona is a strong, hard will and independent woman (whom I love).

“After graduating high school, due to her tears, hard work and strong will, she immediately accepted by a famous college which specialized in nursing major in a full scholarship program. It made her in her position right now,” Taeyeon smiled softly. She must be proud of Yoona, because I—who just know her for months—even do proud of her. “And to cut story short, she graduated the college with flying colors. She didn’t even look for a job anymore, because she was r
