As the questions stop, he shakes his head. "...I don't know, though it certainly looks like that's the case. There's a lot about this that I don't understand, including how long he's been working with them and why. But I thought you should know first, considering... everything." He leans his elbows onto the desk. "What did you want to do about this?" Back to Top   Geum Jan Di Mentor Defense But that requires effort...

Not entirely true, and it's easy to hear in her tone. But true to her nature, she just wants to crawl under covers and pretend the problems aren't there.

She never was comfortable crying in front of people. She'd save it for later. "Let me know when you send people to get him." she decides with a breath. Until she hears what the hell this is, he was still her best friend. He deserved at least a chance to explain. "I want to go see the house where he'd see his family members." she says more quietly. "See if they even were his family..."

"...come here?" He doesn't want to push it, but as far as he was concerned, she was as much of one of his kids as any of the others, and he'd said as much before. It broke his heart to see her like this. Back to Top   Geum Jan Di Mentor Defense But that requires effort...

This is what parents were for, right? If she should cry in front of anyone, why not let it be someone who took that role. Jan Di's vision would blur up with tears as she faced Jack again. She'd quickly run over to him then, bumping her head on his chest as if she were trying to hide her face as quickly as possible before just...let it all go.
