“I am not lying.” The tone of his voice was nearly offended and his psyche at that moment was somewhere between annoyed and abashed, simply because the subject of his offense was actually only a half-truth, meaning the female was, in fact, half-right in her judgement. Jaejoong has always took pride in being honest, even though sometimes he used advantage of understatements and formulating his sentences in such ways, that they ended up being not a lie, but did not say all of the truth, either. It was ambiguous and probably not exactly fair to whoever was the recipent of it, but it worked, most of the time. Except for the rarities when it didn’t--like right now.
“I told you everything I could. If you’re not satisfied with the offered truth... What can I do?” He raised his arms in helpless manner, looking at Minji with an honest expression. It was just yet another half-truth, he knew; He could tell her more, after all, but for his own safety--and not only his, because there was another person in it with him--he simply chose not to.
