Chapter 27
SecretBomi was lying on Chorong's bed while the latter was comfortably snuggled against the younger's side. The older girl's head was positioned on her Pabomi's shoulder and one of the couple's hands were entwined with Bomi's free hand drapped over her girlfriend's waist. The two didn't speak with Chorong playing with Bomi's fingers as she wondered about the possible occurances which could have taken place when the two younger girls were out. Somehow the explanation provided earlier seemed too unbelievable to be true.
"Bbom-ah."
"Hmmm?"
Humming her reply, Bomi's eyes were shut as she was feeling rather fatigued from the day's events. Waking up extremely early, preparing lunchboxes for the members and that encounter with Naeun's attacker all took a toil on her body which was still in the process of recovery.
"Can you tell me what really happened? Something seems to be off about Naeun."
Startled by Chorong's question, Bomi's eyes flew open and she stared at the elder, a million thoughts running through her mind. Having always been the straightforward type, Bomi didn't have a flair for lying. Even if she was good at it, the 93 line didn't want to be fibbing to her Chorong unnie.
On the other hand, Bomi wasn't sure how the older girl would react if she found out that one of her babies could have been potentially hurt or worse, taken from her that very evening. Thinking that the best way to wriggle out of her current situation was to try and change the subject, Yoon Bomi did exactly that.
"Why is my Rongie such a curious little kitty? And why are you thinking about another girl while lying in my arms?
The retort took Chorong by surprise and the twenty four year old got flustered all of a sudden. Embarrassed by Bomi's comment, Chorong slapped the cheeky individual on her chest as she felt her face heat up. Unfortunately, the place where Chorong whacked was the exact same spot where Naeun's kidnapper kicked her while making his escape. Needless to say, the blow triggered a negative reaction from Bomi and she gasped in pain, subsequently bursting into a coughing fit. Tearing her fingers from Chorong's grasp, Bomi doubled over and grabbed at the front of her shirt, trying her utmost to endure the pain.
Scrambling off the bed and rushing towards her dresser, Chorong grabbed the bottle of painkillers and poured its contents into her palm. With shaking hands, she quickly returned to where Bomi was laying on her side, wheezing weakly. Gently lifting Bomi's head onto her lap, Chorong tried to guide the pills into . It was only at this point when she realized that she hadn't prepared any water. Although Bomi was feeling dizzy from the pain and her interrupted breathing, she could clearly tell that Chorong was panicking.
Clasping one hand around the older girl's wrist, Bomi brought her line of sight up to meet Chorong's, hoping that her gaze would somehow calm her frantic unnie. Miraculously that worked and the elder sniffed hard, trying her best to curb the tears which were threatening to fall from the ends of her eyes.
"I'm sorry Bbom-ah. I'm sorry for causing you pain again."
Chorong's words saddened Bomi and she immediately felt bad that her girlfriend was blaming herself for her injuries. Despite them never openly talking about the incident, Bomi knew that Chorong reproached herself for her falling victim to the savage attack that Suho had so intricately constructed.
"Unnie, this isn't your fault. None of it is."
"It is. Everything's my fault. You've suffered tremendously because of me."
Raising her other hand to cup Chorong's cheek, Bomi sighed, a defeated expression apparent on her face.
"You know that's not true. What is true, is that I love you. And I wo
