77 Happy One Day Pt.2 (2/2)

Once they were gone, Taehyung turned to Gyuri. ”What is going on?” he questioned. ”Why are they acting that way?”

”Don't you remember?”

”Remember what?” Taehyung asked, vexed. The orphans had never acted so wary of him before and it wounded him to see them react that way. It was almost as if...

”They know who you are.”

Taehyung glanced up immediately. ”What? How did they—?”

”When you almost drowned, remember?”

Taehyung could only vaguely recall.

”I tried explaining to them that you had your reasons for keeping your identity a secret but... Chun Chun doesn't seem to believe me.” Gyuri scratched her head. ”Even I don't understand why they're so frightened of you.”

It didn't take Taehyung long to figure out why. ”It is not me they fear” he spoke sadly. ”It is my name.”

Gyuri tilted her head at him questioningly.

But instead of elaborating further, Taehyung dejectedly sighed before enquiring, ”Will you ask if I can speak with them?”

”Alright,” she replied. She could tell from Taehyung's mournful expression that this wasn't the first time this happened.
