The Truth is Out

Youngmi/Miley POV

I sit in the corner of the security office as my mum tries to reason with me about why she turned Youngji in and how she was just protecting me but I just ignore her, looking off into the distance my body feeling numb. After a while I hear Eunhyuck asking her to leave me alone as he kneels down to my level looking both disappointed at me but sympathetic to me.

"Miley look I get it, she's your sister and I can't say that say I wouldn't do the say if Eunyu turned" his eyes soften "This doesn't mean I agree with you hiding her symptoms from me. But, Jisu and I just sent Hyunsu back out"

"What! So after our mum betrayed her, turning her in so we can lock her up and you just go and send out her only person she can stay with" I snap "She shouldn't be alone right now"

"That's why I'm here. I thought you would want to go in and see her" he rests his hand on my knee but I push it off. "Miley"

"Let me be mad at you, it's easier than being mad at mum" I pout standing up

"Okay then" he grins sadly letting me walk past him heading to the quarantine room. I look through the door window, seeing my sister sat against the wall with her eyes closed as she light bangs her head against the wall.

"Hey sister" Youngji says but her voice is a little deeper as a smile creeps on her faces

"Youngji?" I worry "look at me"

Her faces drops as she rubs her eyes, opening them to see her regular eyes. She glares at me as she sits closer to the door.

"Is Hyunsu okay?" She asks

"He's not back yet, I'm sorry I didn't know they were going to take Hyunsu out again today until he already left. I haven't been able to focus on anything since what mum did.. sorry about that too" I tear up

"Eunhyuck said he promised you not to use me the same way he uses Hyunsu" Youngji replies

"No. I've barely been speaking" I state a little confused "but it's been what how many days? And you've not turned when others have so maybe some people don't turn and you can get out"

"And Hyunsu?" She adds

"And Hyunsu. He can be your buddy" I nod, knowing I have to use the same logic to Hyunsu because it's only fair and admitting Youngji has a point.

"I have a buddy" she chuckles "Do you think a monster is a better buddy than Sangwook?"

"He scares me more Hyunsu" I laugh nervously

"Aw he's nice when you get to know him" she smiles "We get each other"

"Fine. I'll get to know the murderer too" I rest my hand on the doorknob ready to unlock the door when I get an idea. "You can't get out right? Meaning you can't runaway"

"Yes" she worries leaning back "Why?"

"Meaning you have to tell me because you have nothing to do anyway. What happened between you and mum? Before the her getting you locked up" I ask "what are you hiding from me?"

"Mimi somethings you can't unhear" she looks down picking at her fingernails, something she only does when she's nervous.

"I don't care. I need to know" I state

"But we might not be the same after" she sniffs

"Ji-ah I have to know" I plead

"Fine. It's about dad." She looks down

"What about dad?" I worry

"Shortly after you left he got let go from his job making us move here, as we struggled and he started drinking, a lot. And sis him drunk wasn't a fun sight, he was mean and violent to anyone nearby and that was always me and mum." Youngji can't make eye contact with me. "And one night he took his gun out and threatened to shoot me and mum one day and we'd never see it coming. I begged mum for us to leave but she was too scared and I don't blame her, thinking he could be following us so when he came home drunk and hit mum I grabbed a switchblade I bought and I.. I"
