                                  - i miss you ..  -

It's been almost a week and she had no calls or texts from Taemin , even after he left and she left back to Watermonth. She had been trying to call him just to make sure he's okay but nothing. he didn't answer her calls for few times and there's a time he turned off his phone. Jinri knows that this will come anyways , that this is all her fault for lying to him. she should've just tell him the truth right from the start

But when everytime she tried , she failed and it will never comes out . now he had find out by himself which is what she least expect to happen. She can see that disappointment in his eyes when she begs from him to look at her whilst she's saying sorry for billion times. She knows that she's wrong and hoping that this never happen. 

It's complicated when he starts to talk back to her in firm voice and how his voice starts to get louder at some point which she afraid of the most. She's worried , she wanted to talk to him , she wanted to explain everything , everything that she needs to tell him , she can't keep all this anymore .

It's hurting her

But everytime she tried to ring him , it didn't reach him , even if it does , he won't pick it up. She tried to figure out some way and she knows that he will be back in few more days . The silence treatment he gave her kills her . She can't live her life like this. she can't do her work , she can't even think straight. 

She tried to call Sunyoung last night but she's busy that she couldn't pick up her calls . She knows that Sunyoung's having her fashion tour and some fashion weeks going on here and there and she will be having less time with family and stuffs , but she's the only one that can help her right now .. aside .. Soojung

She haven't met Soojung in a long time and she knows that she needs to catch more things with her , plus she need to tell her the truth . or maybe she and her husband already know , maybe Taemin had told them before her ownself. 

She take her phone and dial Soojung's number . it took her a while to pick it up , but she did 

"hey Jinri, how are you? i haven't hear anything from you for ages" she said right after she answer the call , "hey Soojung.. can we meet?" she asked "s-sure , where do you want to meet?" she asked 

She knows that maybe it'll be hard for her to go out since she's pregnant , and almost time foe her to give birth . "c-can i just .. come to your house? i need someone to talk to" said Jinri when she thought it's probably the best one out of the others , Soojung is pregnant and is waiting for her time to give birth to her first child 

"sure , sure just come here , i can talk" 

It only took her 15 minutes to get there since most of the people from the city left for holidays . Jinri rings the bell as she waits for the door to open , it's her first time coming here if she's not mistaken and she wouldn't lie that their house looks amazing and cosy and the same time . 

The door was pull open , only to see Minho from the inside "hi , Soojung told me you're coming over" he said , Jinri smile a little before nodding her head a little "come in , make yourself at home" he said before closed the door and left to his own office which is at the back . 

Soojung come out from the kitchen , giving a smile to Jinri as she walk slowly to the couch. Jinri realised how big her baby bump gets. "sit down, just make yourself at home" said Soojung sweetly . Jinri sit across her but then decided to take a sit next to Soojung. "what's wrong? is everything okay? you don't sound good when you called me" said Soojung

It took her a while to answer her , but her eyes are slowly showing some tears and turning a little red on the sides making Soojung worried , her hand move to Jinri's back and gently patted her back as she look at the girl who's trying to fight it , forcing herself not to cry "d-do you know where Taemin is ? as in .. now?" she asked

Soojung knows that it's about Taemin , she knows about everything , and so does Minho. it's true . Taemin'd told them beforehand. "he um.. he.." she couldn't utter it when she remember that night Taemin begs for not telling Jinri where he is and why he's not picking up her calls 

Soojung and Minho couldn't get the reason why he trying to distance himself from Jinri but one thing they know is that she lied to him and they both know how much he hatred people who lie to him because people had lied to him so many times that makes him hard to trust anybody at some point. 

But he never expect Jinri would lie to him , never in his life when he first met Jinri , thought that she'd lie to him

Minho knows that he's disappointed in her , for not telling the truth. Soojung still remember that line Taemin murmured during their phone calls , he murmured something like 

i guess all of the things she said to me was all lies 

Which both Minho and Soojung positively know it's not true. They can see how madly in love she is with Taemin. They even tried to convinced him , to call her back and try to make up things with her , but he can't . he told them he tried but he just need some times alone for a while.
