Chapter 25

Hidden Paintings

Minho had some police officers when he arrived in the airport. Because of Hara and Lee Joon’s effort, they were able to get Suzy’s assistant.

When the assistant saw the officers…he immediately said the truth.

“It was my Boss who ordered me to leak the files…she asked me to go to my dream country after that…” said the assistant.

So it was really Suzy…but why would she do it? Is she so in love with L suddenly that she would go against Sulli’s family?

Sulli arrived at the Police office.

“Miss Sulli….” The assistant Stood up. He was her Dad’s assistant before he became Suzy’s.

“And  I thought you were loyal to Dad….how can you betray him?” Said Sulli

“I…all my life all I did was to serve your family.” Said the assistant. “But I never got promoted…and I don’t think I ever will…I wanted to live my dream life.”

Sulli shook her head. She knows of her Dad’s plan for the assistant before he got sick…but since her Dad got sick… the plans never pushed through. It was such a waste…

“We are in the process of arresting Suzy Bae. She will be brought in shortly.” Said the police officer.

Sulli closed her eyes…Suzy…why?

Minho pulled Sulli’s head to his shoulder.

“Everything will be cleared out soon, Sulli.” Said Minho

Chansung arrived at the police station. Taeyeon and Key just behind him…he saw Sulli in Minho’s arms…it tears him up inside…

Taeyeon went in but Key stayed  by Chansung.

“I think those two…has been waiting a long time to be together…” said Key “Since high school, they’ve been trying to push each other away. But now I think they know there’s no other way but to be together.”

Key took a deep breath. “They deserve to be happy together, Boss.” Said Key

And then Key went in. But Chansung…can’t face them…he left.

----------------------------

Suzy was arrested and soon enough she was sentenced to be imprisoned. Se did not even try to defend herself!

Sulli visited Suzy once.

“Dad…he took care of your family ever since…so why did you do it?” asked Sulli “Is it because of L? Why didn’t you tell the court? L should be punished for pushing you to do this.”

Suzy smirked…this woman…is so clueless.

“Because I did it on my own decision. I don’t like your family.” Said Suzy

“Your Dad was always the Boss….my Dad was the outsider…he follows your dad’s every word like a puppy…” said Suzy “But most of all…I hate you.”

Sulli is in pain…why…is it because of Minho?

“You always had the choice…I was always forced to do what you don’t like to do. In highschool…I was an Artist…and I was forced to give up Art for journalism…because that’s what the man they wanted to engage me with demanded. That man was supposed to be engaged to you.” Said Suzy

“But you didn’t want to be engaged then…so I was forced to take it…when I fell in love…really in love with Minho…I had no choice but to back away…because he likes you…and I had  Fiancee. And then just when I thought I finally accepted being a journalist…I was forced to give it up for business….because you wanted to stay as a journalist…because everyone wants to give you what you want.” Said Suzy

Her Dad has really spoiled her…and that’s true…but Suzy feeling this way…no one ever knew it. She was always the obedient child who would do everything to please her family. She never spoke up that she wasn’t willing…she never said she doesn’t like what her Dad is asking her to do…she just followed each and every time…

“You should have spoke up.” Said Sulli

“How can I? My Mom was just adopted…she was forever trying to get your Dad’s acceptance and love.” Said Suzy

“Dad…has never treated her and your Family differently…he has loved you like blood tied niece.” Said Sulli

Suzy’s tears started falling

“And Minho?” asked Suzy “I loved him first before you came around.”

“That’s wrong.” Said Sulli “I loved him….since highschool. 7 years ago…I left because I was hurt by him… I loved him first.”

“And he loves you now…what a fairytale ending.” Said Suzy

“It wasn’t as easy as that…if you only knew what happened then…it won’t be a fairytale.” Said Sulli

“Did he say he loved you too since highschool?” asked Suzy

Sulli nodded

“That’s why his heart was imprenetable…” said Suzy

“Did you ever love L?” asked Sulli

“Love? Since highschool…I have longed for him to pay attention to me…I even went abroad for atime just to follow him. I was able to be close to him…but he never paid attention to me like a real fiancée should. His focus was Arts. I came back here broken hearted…and then I met Minho…Minho whom Hara and L would always talk about…” said Suzy

“Minho he took care fo me as a partner…until I almost forgot about L because of Minho…I truly fell in love with him…but when you came back…Minho he…can’t pay attention to me anymore…So I needed L…I went back to pleading for his attention.” said Suzy

“Did L visit you already?” asked Sulli

“No…why would he? I’m an embarrassment? Who would still want to be associated to me?” said Suzy

“He’s your Fiancee.” Sad Sulli

“That agreement was gone the minute I was imprisoned” said Suzy

Suzy feels like…She lost…in each and every way possible.

And Sulli can see it in Suzy’s eyes.

----------------------------

Sulli went to Top Hill. Suzy is not yet ready to face the truth…but Sulli has to move on. She already submitted the resignation letter to Kangta. She needs to handle her Dad’s business…but she hasn’t let go of being the LUCEAT’s adviser.

She is now able to meet the new breeds of journalists.

The highschool members of LUCEAT are starstrucked. Sulli is an international journalist!

Sulli looked at the articles…hmm….

“This one…is boring…What are the most borrowed books in the library?” Sulli almost laughed…how nostalgic…this article again? Seriously?

“replace this with the current trend on gadgets.” Said Sulli “This one…Article on the Ace player of the football team…this is actually good if you only have female readers…the questions are focused on lovelife. Put something about sports too, he’s a football player not just the school heartthrob.”
