“What?” Lucinda paused, dropping her stylus then. Manon could her the shift in her mother’s tone from the other room, causing her to poke her head out of her bedroom.
“Mom?” She called.
Lucinda didn’t answer her daughter. Not right away anyways as she climbed out of the recliner. “What’s his condition? Is he okay?” She quizzed though she was making moves to get on her shoes. Manon made her way into the living room then and Lucinda hurriedly waved her hand at her to get her shoes on as well. |

“He is stable, but hurt. There was an explosion at our meeting, he is badly burned and might have some broken bones. We have to wait to be seen, there are others hurt worse.” Jer explained.
“Don’t make...her worry.” JJ gritted. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Text me which hospital, we’re on our way.” Lucinda replied quickly as she gathered Manon by her arm, toting her out the door with her.
The cab ride over was stressful, Manon had many questions that Lucinda didn’t have the answers too. Both girls hurried into the hospital room with haste, the wrong visitor name badges on them; Lucinda and Manon swapped on the wrong girls.
Manon rushed ahead of her mother to her fathers bedside and quickly gathered up his hand in hers. “Daddy! What happened, what happened?” She sputtered, looking between her father and grandfather. |

"There was an attack on city hall while we were there. Several bombs." Jer explained as JJ was still very clearly in pain and was trying to keep his groaning to a minimum as to not worry his wife and daughter. "There were several casualties and plenty injured. JJ is not the worst off of everyone." He continued. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Bombs? What, like that Faction group?” Lucinda asked.
Manon furrowed her brows at that. She was vaguely aware of the faction and Yoo In’s involvement. But she’d never make the connection if not for the suspicious texts from earlier today.
“I’m going to use the rest room.” Manon said quietly to her mother in passing, before stepping outside of the room.
Lucinda remained to discuss the details of the evening with her father in law. Meanwhile Manon texted Yoo In yet again.
Did you know? |

Yoo In had retreated back to the apartment building where he and his brothers and friends lived together. He'd yet to go down from the roof where he'd landed and was instead anxiously pacing with his phone tucked to his ear as he tried for Han, Il Soon, and any one of their roommates. He wanted to know if any of them had known? What was going to happen next? What should THEY do next? He'd just gotten Olezka's voicemail when he felt his phone vibrate. He pulled away to see Manon's text.
He hastily hung up before leaving a message and calling Manon's phone. He had to explain unless he wanted her to gather her own assumptions without his side. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Manon didn’t waste time hastily answering the second her phone would allow.
“Yoo In, what is going on?” She asked quickly. Manon was normally a softer spoken, her voice sweet and mild in tone. But this was harsher, snappier, which in execution sounded like her dad. |

"Manon, let me explain." Yoo In sputtered, assuming that Manon knew what was going on on some level if her tone was any indication. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Then explain it to me!” Manon hurriedly demanded. Her brows were knit together in intense concentration, and her fists balled up at her sides. |

Yoo In startled. He and Manon had never fought before, at least nothing more than playful teasing. This was new. This was serious.
"I-I overheard the plan today, not much, just enough to know something was up. I was trying to go and warn JJ or whoever. I didn't have anything to do with it." He sputtered. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“When did you know? Why didn’t you tell me?” Manon rattled off, she wanted to believe Yoo In, but it didn’t change her anger at the situation. “That’s my dad, I should’ve known when you knew. Maybe I could’ve helped? But he’s laid up in a hospital bed, and he’s all burned-“ she continued, hot angry tears pricking her eyes. |

Though Manon was clearly upset with him, Yoo In still felt a rush of relief to hear that JJ was at least alive.
"Is he going to be okay?" He asked. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“I don’t know for sure, there were others worse off.” Manon replied, quietly then, thinking about the condition of her dad. “Is somebody going to try and hurt him again? Since it wasn’t worse?” She asked. |

Yoo In was quiet for a moment, debating on telling Manon the truth or something to comfort her with instead.
"Which hospital are you at? Can I come see you?" He asked instead. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“I don’t know...” Manon was quiet, her voice trailing off. She looked back at her family in her dads hospital room, brows furrowed as she contemplated her affections and fury at Yoo In in this instance. She did want to see him, and she wanted to know whatever he could tell her about what was happening.
“New York City health and hospital. I can meet you outside when you get here, just text me.” She answered, scuffing her shoe against the linoleum. |
