CHAPTER 14: Truth Unfolds

One week later..
Ray's P.O.V:
He's still not satisfied so he told me to come in his office.
" I think she knows that there's a spy" I said
" Did she talk to you?" He asked
" No, but she keeps on saying junior"
" See? You're too careless"
" I'm sorry"
"You know you owe me yet you can't do your job properly to repay me!" He slapped me
" I can't do it" I said
" You're not like that before. You quickly get your job done well before. But you've changed. Why? Because of Lauron?" He said that made me look at him badly
" Don't ever touch her"
" Then get your job done. Just like you did before when Gonzales was applying for a job and can't get even one!"
" I'll find the code instead" I said
" Aside from the code. You're supposed to make her life a living hell!"
" I can't"
" Well I think you can do it if your mom's suffering"
" No, I'll do it"
She's a nice person and she helped me many times.
I can't do it anymore..
And if Ailyn finds out, I will just prefer to end my life.
" Get out of my face and do your job!"
I went out of his office and saw Shoto standing beside the door.
" Shoto " I said
" He's still making you do something you can't"
" Please don't tell anyone" I said
" I won't, for now"
" I need to do what I must do. I'll go"
" Even if it's against your will?"
" Everything's against my will, Shoto. She's a friend and I don't want to put Ailyn in worst situation or even my mom"
" Why don't you put him in the worst situation instead?" He asked as if we're not talking about his father.
Right.
He dislikes him for hurting his mom.
" Think about it" he whispered before leaving.
Sebastian P.O.V:
He will be returning soon.
He failed using his son.
Dong Min's ignoring his calls.
Shoto..
He knows something...
He's smart and I'm sure he won't stay idle.
I asked someone to call Ms. Pedro.
She's here in not less than five minutes..
" Good morning, director!" She greeted
" Sit" I said while pointing the chair
" May I ask the reason why you asked for me?" She asked
" One word, Shoto"
" Ah, he's a smart classmate and friend"
" I know that very well. How do you think about Shoto?"
" He's kind, warm, cheerful-"
"Cheerful? I never see him smile"
" Well, if you would spend more time with him. You'll see"
" Then tell me more about him. And your friend Serenity Gonzales"
Shoto's P.O.V:
Our next professor is already here. And she's not here yet.
I signed Ailyn and asked her where Lovely is.
I stood up immediately after knowing that.
"Where are you going, Mr. Madrigal?" Our professor asked
" Director's office"
I ran as fast as I can to the Director's office.
I immediately opened the door and go inside while gasping.
I grabbed Lovely out of his office and brought her to the hallway.
" Did he hurt you?" I asked
" No. Why would he?"
" Stay here for a moment" I said
" Why?"
" I'll talk to my dad first" I smiled before leaving her.
When I entered his office, he's looking outside the window.
" I know you'll come" he said
" So you used her to talk to me. Don't talk to her ever, again"
" Only if you tell me what you know"
" Are you even my father? No, are you even a human?"
" That's how everything is, Shoto. So tell me"
" What do you mean?"
" Stop acting dumb. What do you know and how far do you know? I know you heard the conversation between me and Ray"
" The only thing I know, is you keep asking him to do anything against his will using his mother"
" It's only natural for him to help me. I'm also helping his mother for the operation"
" That's not the right thing to repay you"
" You can't tell what's right and wrong, Shoto"
He walks towards me.
" So what can you say about hurting my mom, your own wife?"
He slapped me.
" Stop being rebellious, Shoto!"
" It's too simple yet you can't tell it's wrong? I wonder what everyone will do if they found out that the director is a murderer's accomplice. You want to keep my mouth shut? Don't come near my friends, everyone I love especially Mom"
He's too shock to speak.
I left him without anymore word.
Lovely came closer.
" Are you, alright?" She asked
" You heard it?"
" I'm trying not to. But your father's voice is too loud"
" He is not a father to me"
" We can skip classes if you want to. Tell me. You will be relieved if you told me" she smiled
" Thank you" I smiled
You already eased my heart just my smiling.
I hugged her tight.
And hold her hand tight.
We ran together, far from that monster.
Mica's P.O.V:
I've gathered my courage for this day.
I'm not expecting anything.
I just want to tell him how I truly feel.
Serenity and Norman are busy talking about something.
Kim is just listening to Kpop songs.
" Kim?" I said while tapping his shoulder
He looked at me and smile.
" Why?" He asked
" Can we talk?"
" Ah..sure" he said while taking off his headphone
We went outside the classroom to talk.
" What is it?" He asked
What is this?
What's happening?
I can't open my mouth!!!
" Mica, are you okay?" He asked while checking my forehead
" I'm okay" I smiled
" Tell me" he smiled
" Kim, I- don't know how and where to start"
" Wow, I felt quite nervous somehow" he sighed
" I told myself about this before. That you are actually a good man and caring man to everyone. You treat Serenity like that sometimes. You're good to her sometimes and for her it's just an act of friendship. But I don't know why I thought of something else when you're trying to be nice to me" I sighed
I saw his face..
The look on the face who's getting ready to reject someone.
" I didn't expect you to feel the same. And I'm not expecting anything. I just want to tell you how good you are that's why I feel it. I like you, Kim" I sighed
I'm afraid but it feels great to be honest.
I'm relieved.
"You know I-"
I stopped him before he even continues what he's trying to say.
" Shh! I don't want you to tell something negative. As I told you, I'm not expecting and I only want to tell you how I truly feel" I said
" Thank you" he smiled
" Huh?"
" Thank you for appreciating me even though I can't appreciate my ownself. I treasure you. As a very good friend, Mica. That's the only relationship that I can offer you" he smiled
Tears are becoming to form in my eyes.
I'm not crying because of rejection.
I'm happy because he still see me as a good friend..
" Are you crying?" He asked
" No. I'm happy. I'm really happy, Kim" I smiled
" Friendship that will lasts forever" he smiled
He hugged me and tap my back slowly.
Lyn's P.O.V:
I'm standing beside the door of our classroom.
And I finally saw Ray coming.
I grabbed his hand..
" Let's talk" I said
We went to the rooftop.
" So it's you" I said
" Me? Who?" He asked
" Serenity told us about something last week"
" About what?" He smiled
" Junior "
He suddenly stopped smiling.
" What are you talking about?" He asked
" I happened to pass by the director's office earlier. I heard your conversation on the window. I was about to leave. But I was curious why he's treating you like that. And then I heard the whole conversation. It's you. You're the spy. Junior."
" I'm not a bad person, Ailyn"
" What's your plan?"
" You wouldn't understand me anyway" he said before turning his back to me
" Tell me everything. I want to know everything, Ray" I said
He looked at me.
We sat down and he told me everything.
Dong Min's P.O.V:
I have messaged Serenity a while ago to come see me at the rooftop.
I'm sure she's already there.
On my way to the rooftop, I saw Ailyn and Ray.
" Where have you been?" I asked them
" Rooftop" Ailyn said
" Have you seen Serenity there?" I asked
" She's there?" Ray asked
" We didn't see her" Ailyn said
" I guess she's not there yet. I'll go" I said.
After opening the door of the rooftop, I already saw her standing.
" Did you just came here?" I asked while walking towards her.
" I don't think so" she answered seriously
She looks like she's thinking about something.
" What are we going to talk about?" She smiled
" Ah. I don't know where to start. But I feel like I need to tell you this. First of all, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry" I sighed
" What is it?"
" Your.. father's name is Sam, right?" I asked
" How did you know?" She asked with confusion
" I saw him before and I know him. He's a great and genuine man. It's my fault for only knowing recently that you're his daughter"
" And?"
" I can't tell you directly. I'm not comfortable"
She sighed deeply.
" I know. He's your father....Ryan" she said that made me shock
" How did you-?"
Tears started falling from her eyes.
" I didn't told my uncle because I just confirmed it recently. I told you I'm not a fan of yours. But ever since we got to talk more often. I became interested. And I saw your family picture on the internet. That man's picture. I thought I saw him somewhere before. Even it pains me, I did a further research. He's one of my father's colleagues. Or should I say, the only rival of my father. It's not easy, but I had to accept the truth" she seriously said before looking at me
I'm speechless about everything.
" Why didn't you tell me?" I asked
" I'm still confirming it. Hoping it's not true. I don't want to be close to you from the start. But he pushed me to be close to you. To know more about him. I thought being with you will help me to know more about him. But you didn't even mention his name. I guess you're different from him. You don't have to apologise. You..will never be like him"
I clenched my fist.
" There's no need to feel sorry. It's not your fault that your father is-" I stopped her
" That's not true. He's not my biological father. My father died"
She looked at me.
" That's why you will never be like him. I guess I still need to know more about you" She whispered
I wiped her tears and hold her hands.
" I will help your uncle. Tell me everything. I, will protect you from that man." I said
She nodded.
" Can we- can we share more about our past? Slowly. Let's.. share our painful memories and turn them to something good" she sobs
I nodded
I hug her tight and I wasn't able to control my tears from falling.
That man's evil.
But he did something good.
For pushing and leading her to me.
We sat down to talk more.
" Why did you say he's your father's rival?" I asked her
" My mom told me before that my father has a best friend in Korea. And his best friend's father treats him very well as if he was a son. I was happy to hear that because my father will never be alone because he has a second family. Another brother and father. And his best friend has a brother, that Ryan. Their father likes my father over Ryan. It's not that my father treats Ryan as a rival. It's Ryan who treats my father as his rival. Then one time, everything changes when my father's best friend died. He's suddenly receiving calls from unknown. Threatening calls. Ryan's father started to see my father more often. I think, he's the one who gave that code to my father. Ryan is definitely the reason for my parents death. That's what I have confirmed with the help of my uncle"
" And his best friend is my, biological father" I said seriously
She looked at me.
" Your biological father is my father's best friend and Ryan's brother?" She asked
I nodded.
" How, did your father die?" She asked with confusion
" I don't know. My mom won't talk about what happened"
She sighed and smile..
" Your father is my father's best friend" she smiled
She became quiet in an instant.
" If everything didn't happen at all. Will we still be able to know each other?"
" I'm sure we will because my father is your father's best friend" I smile
She smiled too.
That's right, I still need to know more about my real dad from my mom.
" I wonder what kind of code it is" she said
" Do you have it?" I asked
" Still finding it. Is that code too worthy to take away someone's life? I mean, your dad, I mean your uncle is already rich. Why would he still look for it?" She asked that made me think seriously
" What if that code is a different one?" I asked
" Could it be an evidence to something?"
" How could you say that?"
" I mean, it's obvious. In dramas, the culprit is dying hard just to find something that can be use against him. What if it's actually not a code for wealth, but something else?"
I can't gather my thoughts..
I don't know what to think..
" Let's meet and talk with your uncle" I said seriously.
She nodded.
