Chapter 21

 

Yoochun noticed Jaejoong had left the house in a hurry. His bow-shaped lips curved into a smile of satisfaction, “It’s time to act as a hero.” He said to himself. He grabbed his iphone 4 & dialed the number.

 

“Hello.”

 

He heard the sound of a young lady holding back her cries.

 

“Oh, hi. Is this Tiffany?”

 

“Yes, who is this?” She whispered, but it made no difference as she had known it wouldn’t.

 

“Tiffany, it’s Yoochun. How are you?”

 

“Not good.” She answered, with a deep sigh.

“Has Minki been found yet?”

 

Yoochun couldn’t hear any voice from her but he believed that Tiffany shook her head.

 

“I’m on the way to your house. Is Jaejoong there?”

“Jaejoong just left. I don’t where he is going. I’m worried about him.” Then Tiffany couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

 

“Tiffany, please don’t cry. I will be there soon. I hope I can help you both find Minki.”

 

“Thanks, Oppa. I really appreciate it. You are my best friend.”

“Oh, don’t mention it. It’s what friends are for, right?”

“Okay, I will see you soon.”

 

The line was cut off. After five minutes, Yoochun stepped out from the white Lexus & went to the Kim’s house. Tiffany opened the door for him.

“Thanks for coming, Oppa.”

Yoochun smiled, “I told you many times that I’m your friend. Please don’t mention it. Is there any news about Minki?”

 

“Yes.” Tiffany said softly, “The kidnapper has called & asked for ransom.”

“&?”

“Jaejoong doesn’t want to pay.”

 

Yoochun slapped his forehead, showing his concern, “What is Jaejoong thinking of? If I were him, I would just pay the ransom. My son’s life is more important than money & I know Jaejoong isn’t running out of money.” Taking in a deep breath, Tiffany closed her eyes, “That’s why I disagree with him.”

“Because Minki isn’t his eldest son.”

 

“What do you mean?”

“Oh, forget my words. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything from me.”

“Oppa.” Tiffany grabbed his hand, pushing him to the sofa, “Tell me what you know about him? Are you saying he has another son outside this house?”

 

Yoochun shook his head, “I’m sorry, Tiffany. I shouldn’t have told you about this. I don’t want to ruin your happy marriage. I’m sorry.”

 

Tiffany closed her eyes. She was tired & distressed & now, she got another shocking news. Why didn’t Jaejoong tell her about this? Would it be possible if Yoochun told her a lie? “Tell me please, Oppa?”

 

Their eyes met & again, Yoochun had a feeling that she trusted him perfectly. It was such a relief, like sinking into a well-sprung mattress.

“I wanted to tell you a long time ago when we met at the restaurant remember? But you refused to believe me. You were so thrilled finding out that he wasn’t your first cousin.” He said, “I’m worried about you, Tiffany. I couldn’t stand watching him hurt you again & again.”

 

She waved her hands, “Please I’m fine. I have to know the truth. I hate being cheated behind my back.”

 

“Your twin’s aren’t his eldest son’s that’s the first thing.”

 

“What do you mean?”

“He has a son with Sunny.”

 

Tiffany shook her head, “I don’t believe this.”

“What I’m telling you is the truth, Tiffany. You can confront Jaejoong & ask him where he has spent a lot of his money during the past three years.”

“Why was that?”

 

“I have some records of his expenses during the past three years & it is still going on until now.” He opened the file he brought & show her the bank statement, “Kim Jaejoong has spent more than millions in buying an apartment, furniture & so on & look over here.” He paused, pointing to the other side of the paper, “He sends a cheque every month to this account number & I have checked who is the owner of this account & the apartment he bought three years ago. It is only one name, Sunny Lee Sunkyu.”

 

“Oh, my god.” Tiffany murmured, under her breath. Her heart missed a beat. Looking around the room made her immensely sad. Her eyes spotted their lovely portrait on the wall. They were a happy family. Jaejoong was standing by her side. His left hand was around her waist. Tiffany was smiling brightly while the twin’s was standing in front of them with a big smile on their faces, ‘Is this real or a dream?’ She asked herself in frustration.

“I’m so sorry, Tiffany. I have
