Chapter 11
Secret“Are you talking about Bomi unnie liking Chorong unnie?”
Hayoung asked Naeun as she started munching on her Churros again. Noting the calm expressions of the two youngest, the center of Apink could not hide her surprise.
“You guys knew?”
“Yeah. It is pretty obvious from the way Bomi unnie looks at Chorong unnie.”
Namjoo replied with a sheepish look on her face.
“I can’t believe I’m one of the last to find out! Do you think Eunji unnie knows too?”
Pausing in mid chew and placing one finger beneath her chin, Namjoo’s expression turned serious as she pondered on the possibility of this.
“Well…Eunji unnie is rather observant. So I wouldn’t be surprised if she did know.”
“Damn!”
Smashing her palms onto the table top, Naeun pouted cutely. Her previous enthusiasm of sharing the secret all lost in an instant.
“Don’t be so depressed unnie. We only know Bomi unnie likes Chorong unnie but we don’t know if Rongtler likes her back.”
“Ah ha!”
Naeun’s eyes lit up immediately as she realized there was something that she had found out first.
“The reason I’m telling you guys is to help the unnies. Do remember that I am not fond of gossip.”
“Yes unnie.”
The maknaes replied in unison as they waited with bated breath for the answer.
“Bomi unnie confessed her feelings but was rejected.”
“No way!”
“But why?! Bomi unnie is awesome!”
The choruses of protest filled the air as the girls felt terribly sorry for Bomi. In their eyes, Yoon Bomi was beyond awesome. She had so many talents and had a kind heart. But most importantly, she loved Park Chorong. And this should be enough for anyone.
“I know right.”
Naeun’s shoulders slumped forward as she reverted back to her depressed state. She felt incredibly dejected whenever she saw how heartbroken Bomi got due to her unrequited love for their leader.
“Is there some way we can help Bomi unnie? She has gotten so thin lately. I am really worried.”
Although Naeun trusted her fellow members and told them about the relationship problems of her unnie, she still knew what not to reveal. The self-harm which Bomi had been inflicting upon herself was much too sensitive to be revealed to the rest.
Besides, Naeun wasn’t sure what Bomi’s reaction will be if she knew that the others were aware about her actions.
“There are only two options in this situation. A, get Chorong unnie to like Bomi unnie back. B, make Bomi unnie fall for someone else.”
Analyzing the matter at hand like a professional, Namjoo laid out their options.
“I choose option A!”
Hayoung eagerly exclaimed. Looking towards her two unnies in anticipation, she waited for them to support her choice.
“Although I would prefer option A as well, we need to keep option B
