I just couldn't fathom what he had said.
Was he saying that my mother was his mother?
Zero held his hands up like he was trying to calm a wild animal. "Okay, don't freak out but--"
"Too late for that now. I'm already freaked out." I grabbed the arms of my chair. "What are you even saying?"
"I'm saying that..." Zero bit his lip. "We're siblings. I'm your brother, you're my sister."
My mind was a blank slate.
My mouth couldn't speak.
Zero cleared his throat. "Can you please say something?"
Suddenly I could see a bit of my mom in him. The color and slight curl in his hair, the way he smiled.
My mom was from korean descent. I was half korean myself.
"How...do you know that we have the same mother?" I asked, with a gulp.
If she had him, why did she put him up for adoption? And the fact that he had a different father meant that my mother cheated on my father.
