Hyunjoong drove her back to her house. When they reached he shut off the engine. Somin hasn’t spoken much after he completed his narration so he was unsure of how she felt about the situation. Did she believe him or does she still think he’s the culprit,that he left his brothers….

“I’ll be going then. Goodnight” Somin bowed

“Somin-sshi…”

“Mmm?”

Hyunjoong opened his mouth to speak but just didn’t know what to say “nothing”he said and looked away

Somin understood his dilemma. She wanted to comfort him,wanted to tell him it’s okay,that she trusts him. But she just didn’t know how. They sat in silence—none of them wanted to leave.

Somin’s phone suddenly rang—it was Haera.

“Yabuseyo”

“Aaah Somin! Are you still working?” Haera asked from the other end,concerned

“Ani Haera-ah…I finished”

“Did you reach home safely?”

“De”

“okay then get some rest. When do you have to report tomorrow?”

“Seven”

“Oh my poor chingu! Okay you sleep now. See you tomorrow”

Somin closed the phone and looked at it for a while

“I-I should get going” Somin said and looked up.

Hyunjoong’s eyes were fixed on her. He was looking intently at her,observing her every move for any clue of what’s going on inside her head. When Somin caught him he quickly looked away.

“You’re a good brother” Somin said in a low tone but Hyunjoong instantly turned to her “what you did takes a lot of courage. Like I said since the time you started off solo I always felt you looked kinda sad, even that bright smile of yours couldn’t hide it. But today I realized how deep your pain is. Thank you for sharing your pain with me”

“Thank you for listening” Hyunjoong said looking at the steering wheel

Somin’s phone rang again—it was her granny this time.

“De Haraomoni…..de I’m right outside…I’ll come in a moment”

“You should go” Hyunjoong said though he really wanted her to stay. Since the time he left DSP he hardly spoke about this issue with anyone. Infact Somin was the first after his family and his SS501 dongsengs who knew about this.

“Mmm” Somin nodded and reluctantly opened the door and got out.

“Hyunjoong-ah..” Somin bent down on the window to look at him

“Hmmm?”

“ We don’t see you all together anymore….one member or the other is always missing” Somin mentioned. Hyunjoong thought for a while and noticed she observed correctly

“Actually we are all very busy with our solo activities that its difficult—“

“I understand but by not appearing together like this don’t you think you’re proving the rumours right?” Somin said.Hyunjoong was dumbfounded.

“Food for thought.Think about it. Goodnight” Somin waved him goodbye and went inside
