<----GIVE ME BACK MY HUSBAND!!! Part 3
“I don’t know.. do you think she’s going to take it easily?”
“At least we need to try. Hyung, if there’s really no way that we could get through this, I think that it’s time that we call the cops and let them solve it.”
I heard faint whispers close to where I was lying in the bed, dazed and bewildered. Slowly, my eyes adapted with the orange light radiating from the bedside lamp perched right next to me. My mind felt groggy, my muscles ached from the impact of the fall. I squinted my eyes to see where the voices came from.. who they were.
“Minho uppa? Onew uppa? What are you guys discussing about?” I managed to scoff coarsely, clearing my throat as I did so. They turned at me, bewildered and surprised that id just woken up from my deep slumber. I got up, a bit too fast, that I could feel the blood shooting right up my head, making me dizzier than I already was. I could see the expressions they had etched on their faces- it was a mixture of panic, confusion, jumbled with a sense of insecurity. Id never seen any one of them that way, not until now.
Minho uppa was the first one to get up and sat next to me, Onew uppa came later, with that same worried expression on his face. He was practically twitching from where he was standing, unable to get whatever it was in his head straight. Minho uppa took my hand and looked into my eyes deeply, offering the feel of calamity and strength id been deprived of for the past 24 hours of emptiness. He smiled a crooked smile which obviously didn’t reach his eyes. I could see that he was as confused as I was.
“Nothing.. Soo Jin-ah, are you feeling better? We were worried about you, you were lying unconscious on the kitchen floor when Key found you. We wanted to get you to the hospital, but Onew hyung insisted that you wouldn’t like that.. and,”
“She’s afraid of blood.. and needles. They make her feel faint.”
Onew uppa interjected before Minho uppa could finish his words. Immediately, my eyes shot right at him, surprised that he still remembered those petty matters about me. Our eyes met for an instant, before I turned away, trying hard to forget about what he mustve had in his mind at the time. Minho uppa could sense that there was something that was occurring between us, but knew better not to say anything instead. He licked his lips, as if contemplating with himself, deciding whether or not to spill the beans on me. He turned from Onew uppa to me, and back to him again, searching for an answer, asking for a sign that it was okay to speak up.
Sensing that something was amiss, I turned to both of them and asked, almost too eagerly, “What?! What is it that you two are trying to keep away from me?”
They both looked away from me. This only added up to my frustration. The tension was building up inside me, waiting just a few moments for me to burst. I tried inhaling and exhaling to keep me from blowing my hat off, but it did not work. The silence only made me even angrier.
Finally, Onew uppa broke the silence. He stepped up next to me and cleared his throat, as if it was gagging him.
“That guy.. He sent a package this morning.”
“Guy? You mean, the person who took Taemin uppa?”
Onew uppa nodded and took out a black box from behind him. A tape.
“What’s its say?” I took the tape, carefully examining its edges, looking for a hidden note, or even an address which might help to find the supposed criminal. But there was none. It was empty, except for the words written in bold, capital letters at the front of the cover- STAYING ALIVE.
“Uppa.. when did it came?” I asked, worried that my blackout was a bit too long that it might had been a disturbance in their plan of the day.
“Just now, we haven’t even seen it yet,” Minho uppa answered. Suddenly he took the tape away from my hands, keeping me at a safe distance from it. “I don’t think we should look at it now, Soo Jin-ah. You’re still not fine.. Maybe we’ll just send this thing straight away to the cops and let them get this guy on their own,” He was trying hard to console me, even when he knew that it was going to fail. This was a dead end. When I made up my mind, there was no way that they’re going to change my stand. I shot him a murderous glare, feeling a little guilty as I did so. I understood their intention.. of trying to keep me away from danger, and also finding a way to get Taemin uppa as safely home as possible. But it was impossible to do just that. I knew Victoria, even better than the rest of the SME people knew her. She’s a monster. And if it was a game that she wanted, then she would always make sure that everything’s going to turn out her way.
“Uppa!” I bellowed, suddenly losing my sense. “There’s no time for the cops! You know what’s going to happen if we send this tape to them! They’re not going to solve anything! You know what they wanted!”
“Soo Jin-ah..” Onew uppa stepped in between me and Minho uppa, trying to take control of the situation. He took away the tape from Minho uppa and held it in a tight grip in his hands. “We’ll see what we can do. Minho, let’s go.”
There must have been something really wrong. If they really hadn’t seen the tape, then what was it that they were really trying to keep away from me? And why were they so eager on keeping me away from watching the tape?
Minho uppa got up from where he was sitting and followed Onew uppa to the door, trying to make a run from me. Oh, no, they’re not going anywhere with that tape. Not before I know what they were hiding from me.
“No, you’re not going anywhere.”
