No One Can Get Away With It - Penthouse

19 - Mask (filler)

Kiyeon and his mother entered their house, allowing her to relax after all the news flashing in front of her. 

"My husband, Ju Dantae, how could he have killed him!" Chaeyeong was a mess. Yeona knew that this was not how she wanted to break the news, but if they wait longer, no one knows what could happen. Yeona grabbed a glass and filled it with cold water, handing it to her mother. Seola walked in with her phone in her hand. Kiyeon secretly called Seola and let her hear everything. It won't be fair if she doesn't know the type of man Ju Dantae is. She sat down next to Kiyeon and Chaeyeong, unsure whether she could speak. 

"Is there anything wrong?" Kiyeon rested his hand on top of hers, assuring her that it is fine. Yeona was over it. Pretending everything is fine, acting that everything is going to go well just for the sake of a few people's happiness. She wanted to be the hero of everything, from the day she met the real Seola at the audition, she wanted to save her. But she can't anymore. She will not put people before her own. 

"Whatever you have to say, save it, can't you see that we are all broken, you are not the only one suffering," And with that, Yeona stormed out of the house and ran off. Seola's eyes were only focussed on the door. Kiyeon scoffed and turned his head to her.

"Don't worry she will come around, its just that this night wasn't the most pleasant," Seola stood up, letting his hand fall on the side.

"I am grateful that you are so kind to me, but she is right, why are you acting like you are not broken? I told you to show me the real Jung Kiyeon, this isn't him, the real him is broken, isn't he?" His eyes went from fake happiness to his real emotion. Sadness. His mask was off for the first time. He stood, matching her height.

"Alright then, I am broken, my father got killed by someone in this penthouse, my sister is slowly going crazy, someone tried to kill you, how do you expect me to act? If I can't be happy, at least I can pretend," Tears started to gather in his eyes as they became bloodshot and puffy. He can't cope with this, he is just a boy. Her lips started to tremble and her vision became blurry. As soon as she wrapped her arms around the boy, he instantly started to resist.

"I can't have any love, not when I can't even punish his killer," Seola did not back down. If she can help in anyway, she will. He gave up when his leg broke down, no strength to keep them stable. They must be strong.

"Kiyeon ah," Seola called out softly, he calmed down and hummed in response. 

"My brother, Logan Lee, he may be able to help us," Kiyeon loosen his arms and faced her. 

"He came to Korea a few days ago but I only just found out now, Yeona needs to be here," Kiyeon got out his phone ready to dial, but her hand stopped him.

"From now one, promise me one more thing, if I see you pretend to happy when you are with me, don't, I don't want to see you suffer in silence. If you don't want Yeona to see you in this state, come to me, alright," Kiyeon smiled brightly and patted her head.

"What do you want?" Yeona called out on the phone.

"Yeona yah, please come home, I think we may have a hidden weapon that no one can use," Kiyeon spoke excitedly.

"Who is it?"

"Min Seola has a brother, Logan Lee," 

"Logan Lee!"

-This is a really short chapter as I plan to make part 3 the climax and when everyone gets punished by the Jung family, you can say that this is a filler chapter for everything that is to come and get more detail about how the siblings are actually feeling instead of the mask they put on. I actually hate the brother of Logan in season 3, why did Seola have to do the bone marrow thing on Logan if Alex existed? Makes no sense, but thank you for reading this story so far! Hope you are enjoying it!-
