66 A Double-Edged Sword (2/2)

A double-edged sword. Yoona's kindness and sympathy was something Minhyun loved, yet a part of her that other people could manipulate. Finally, the rope that latched her onto all the sympathy she had for them disappeared.

The feint feeling of sadness entered his heart when he realized how hurt Yoona must've been to reach this point, but it was all necessary.

Her eyes looked up to him, the corners lightly brimmed with tears. ”I'm asking you one last time. This is not a joke right? There is some sort of evidence pointing to this?”

The ”evidence” in regards to Jihee's death was all based on White Masks a.s.sumptions and those doctor's notes. He hadn't looked at the papers himself, nor did he completely believe the child's words, but there was a part of him that wasn't in complete denial.

And this part made him further push the murderer agenda for he cared about Yoona's safety above all.

”It's still too early to point fingers,” Minhyun admitted. He didn't want to lie. ”But there is a great chance of them being murderers. Even if they weren't, according to their psychologists, after the sisters death, the two haven't been mentally stable. They are dangerous either way.”

Yoona shook her head. ”Absolutely crazy.”

She looked up again. ”We're the doctors notes that crazy to have them be suspected as murderers?”

”They were.”

It was scary to know that some of the people you thought you knew, were not who they portrayed to be. Her memories twisting into dark lies.

Yoona really had to rethink the amount of trust she gave others. The Moon siblings simply were too much to handle.

Jaemin's haunting face would not leave her mind. The look of a devil.

”This brings me to the question,” Minhyun began. In the corner of his eye, he continuously watched Yoona's expression. Trying to decipher her thoughts. ”If a person you cared about could be in possible danger what would you do?”

Yoona sent him a puzzled gaze. After talking about something so dark, what was this sudden question.

Either way, she decided to answer. Her answer was obvious. ”I would try my best to protect them.”

He nodded. ”That's what I would do too, which is why I decided to come up with this plan.”

The embrace Yoona was in was broken and Minhyun took a step back.

”I know we didn't reunite till recently and that the trust between us hadn't fully established. There is probably still some doubts in your heart about me. The recent betrayal probably played a huge part in your broken trust. However, seeing all this uncover, I can't help but react in this way.”

”Yoona,” he continued. ”While I handle the Moon siblings and figure out a way to subdue them, come live with me.”
