"Did you know about it? "

The moment I entered the house that is the first thing I've said.

German casually turned his eyes at me and turned the television off.

"Yes," he confirmed.

Now it is me he is watching.

My shoulders move for a inhale.

So they all know all along.

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

"Since when? "

"The day after Remus' birthday. "

That long? Then why...

"Why didn't you tell me?" I said, trying hard to stop my voice from rising.

I closed my eyes to stop my anger get to me. I heard him sigh.

"It is not something I should unveil to you. I am not deserving to talk about something left unannounced."

I nodded, eyes closed still.

Of course, he wouldn't.

He stands by the principle of not spilling others' secrets or opinions unless it is his.

Which is both good and bad.

Good as he respects others' privacy too much. Allowing the owner to have their own timing to speak it up.

And bad because his known secret could have made someone's life better if only he decided to speak of it, but he didn't.

I opened my eyes and fixed it nowhere but the stairs.

"I'll go take a rest." I bid and went up.

This will make me sleepless for the rest of the night.
