Lee Woo Jeong power up the laptop and the screen behind him comes to life, he turns to the individuals sitting around in the conference room.
“Let’s begin with investigating report.” He go through the slides until stops at the one which shows the watch. “The watch in the photo you sent us is a limited-edition model, In Korea, it’s been purchased by only two people. One, a pro soccer player who currently plays in Europe, and the other,” he changes the slides pausing “former special forces officer Yun tae geom.” The screen shows Tae geom’s photo in his military uniform along with every details.
Mr Moon who sitting along side of Woo Jin points at the screen recognizing the one they fought earlier “Wait, that guy.”
“Him? You sure?” Kang Young ask the two.
Woo Jin turns to him “Yes, we fought him.” Kang Young nods at Woo Jeong to continue after the conformation.
“Yun Tae Geom, he was born in 1990. In 2009, he enlisted as an NCO in army special warfare command. He served with the 17th Airborne special forces. And his speciality? Explosives. According to fellow soldiers he was highly intelligent, and excelled at making improvised explosives devices. He was dishonourably discharged in April 2020. The reason for that is classified. I’m looking for it.”
He changes the slide “I researched his family and personal history. He has young daughter.”
The room goes quite a bit, the information of his deceased wife and the name of his young child displayed in the screen.
“Where is she?”
“Lives with her grandmother in Daejeon.” Woo Jeong answers for Kang Young’s question “I still haven’t figured out his wife’s death.”
“Where’s our former officer now?”
“He went to Thailand in march last year and hadn’t come back officially. I think he’s here with forged identification and a visa.” He concluded.
Kang Young nods he hold up photo of girl in nurse outfit smiling at camera it seems a cropped-out photo of her from group photo.
Mr. Moon and Woo Jin eyes widen seeing your face “Oh the girl that throw the shoe at me.” Mr Moon exclaim.
Kang young state your name “She’s nurse in city hospital near Daejeon; I checked her background it’s clean nothing out of the ordinary her colleagues said nothing but great things about her.” he sighs “Just like in official paper it says she left because of job offer but I checked no show.”
Mr. Moon nods think for a moment “The guy said a guy with long hair was her boyfriend.”
“Long hair?” woo jin exclaim Gun woo and him changes glances as Mr. Moon nods.
“Okey, everyone, gather around” Kang Young says and they gather around him he writes 1 on the top “this is the leader” Woo jin mutter ‘long hair’ and the number 2.
“This is Yun tae geom “he circle the number two “Our special forces guy, He’s the fixer, the muscle you follow me?” the number three is circled “This is Kang In Beom” Woo Jin and gun woo shares a glance at each other nodding.
“Not sure yet what this bastard’s role in all this.” He says pointing at the cricked number 4
“But according to Mr. cho”
“The voice” Mr. Moon cuts in
“Exactly. That’s what I’m thinking. First, we should go over what we know for sure. This here is the junkie doctor.” He writes down under the number five. “Maybe this asshole is the responsible for the drug on Min-Beom.”
“The one with the thick eyebrows works logistics like gathering intel, sizing things up, and bringing in the hired guys. He probably handled everything for Kang In Beom’s escape from prison making sure everyone had everything they need.”
“Sir, don’t forget their computer expert” tae Yeong speak up “So he’s number six, right?”
He nods “Okey.” He writes down the number and circle it “Wow, that’s a pretty big crew just their monthly salaries are a fortune.
“Um, sir there is something I wanted to share with you directly.” Gun woo speak up making them turns to him “When were at Golden slumber before.” He points at the number one “I got a call.”
“On your phone?”
“Yes.”
“What did he say?”
“He directly threatened him.” Mr moon speaks for Gun woo “if he didn’t take part in their league everyone around him is in danger.”
“Did you get his number, by chance I guess not?” Woo Jeong mumbles.
“Anything else he said?” Kang Young questions glancing between gun woo and Mr. Moon.
Mr. Moon encourage Gun woo to continues “The detective who died right in front of us. One of his fellow officers sold him out. He was paid off with a massive amount of cash.” Everyone in the room let out distressed silent sighs at the news.
Kang Young lean back on the chair he flip the paper the he wrote down the numbers your smiling face greet them “I thought so, the detectives who investigated her call said it was nothing and stated its couple discord at the traffic. “He taps of your photo “I founder this by myself. For right now, I want only the people here to work on this.”
Echoes of agreements rings among them “Now, in a way, they’re more intelligent and specialized than Kim Myeong-gil’s crew. But no need to be worried. Justice is with us. There are quite a few things we need to do, and they all must be done at once.”
“Mr. Moon and Gun woo, find that woman now.”
“Okey” they nods
“Woo- Jeong, check the footage and see where the guy who stabbed detective choi went.”
“Woo-Jin, come with me to meet her colleagues” Kang Young hold up your photo “And to meet Yun-tae geom’s mother.” Woo jin nods.
“yes”
Kang young turns to Tae Yeong “okey, I want you watching the website.” He turns the paper tapping on the number four “If you learn anything about this asshole, contact me right away.” Tae Yeong nods “this lowlife got money to the police.” He scribble down an question mark “I don’t know what he did before, but he’s got connections everywhere. I think he was likely police.”
“Yes”
“And we all must be safe. Woo Jin” he calls.
“Here” he brings his fist to the middle everyone soon follow “One, two, three.” He counts and by the end of count of three they all cheer. “fighting”
Woo Jin sits in the passenger seat of Kang Young’s car as he drives offering him drink as they drive to their first stop. Few minutes of travel before they reach the hospital they walk into the front desk kang young shows his badge, the front desk calls your friends and they move to sit down at the cafeteria.
One woman and two guys sits across from them three steaming coffees in front of him, Kang Young give them a small smile a reassuring to ease their nervous.
“We are here to talk about your friend.” He slide your photo to the table stating your name.
“What is going on? Is she alright?” the woman Aria asks with worried look on her face.
“She is fine.” Kang reassure “Can you tell me about her.” he points at the Aria asking her to go first.
The three glance at each other “Well, she isn’t the one to get in trouble that I can be sure, she did her work with compassion. She is sensitive.”
“She is good person” the male nurse speak up; his eyes fixed on the photo “Kind and understanding.” Kang young glance at the man and his tag the name Ah So. He looks more worried compared to other male sitting next to him.
Woo Jin and him turns to the last one “Well, she was fun, fierce perhaps.”
“Does she have or had boyfriend?” Woo Jin asks this time.
The three shake their head Ah So lips curls into a smile “She whined about not having one all the time but she didn’t have but rejected everyone who asked her out.”
The latter smile “Yeah, there was this one guy who always hung around the hospital and even showed up at our nights out. He send tons of expensive shit but she turned down especially since she was leaving soon.”
“Do you have any picture of the guy?” Kang Young asks they nod Ah So takes out his phone, he opens a old group chat placing the phone down. Woo Jin and Kang Young lean closer to look at picture, the photo is simple, the same cafeteria with standing, the side of your face is clear, wearing the nurse scrubs.
Woo Jin eyes widen seeing Baek Jeong though his hair is different it is unmistakably the same man, Woo Jin nods at Kang Young. “Can you tell us more about this guy and their relationship.”
“He’s rich.”
“He was rude to everyone though.” Aria scoff the other two nods honestly. “His name is what was it?”
Ah So take his phone back scrolling through the message “Im Baek Jeong, yeah that’s his name. she said he was friend of her patient, that’s how they met.” The rest nod at that “It’s was nice first few times he got her from flowers to diamond necklace but something felt off about that guy.” Ah So adds.
“When the last time you actually seen her.”
Aria and Seok man think for a second “it was for her celebration for the job offer.”
The other two hum Seok man pause “the same time Dr. park was in accident right; we were all swapped that whole week and she took a long week before submitting rejection letter and left to abroad.” Kang young caught the guilty look on Ah So’s face.
“You guys didn’t send her off?”
“No, she said she didn’t want us to come.” She has hurt look on her “Which wasn’t like at her all.” Ah so nod while Seok man shrugs. “After that she didn’t contact us at all.”
Kang young sighs “What about her family?”
The three look at each other “They are estranged, she run away from home when they tried to marry her off.” Aria said.
They goes silent few minutes before they part their way, Kang Young and Woo Jin walks to their car “It seems she is taken against her will.” Kang young conclude.
Woo jin nodes “Then we should speed up finding them.” Kang young agrees he open the driver side of his car but pause hearing someone running up to them.
They turn to see Ah So his phone clenched in his hand, he slows down standing in front of him “Something happened to her, isn’t it?” he question his voice is shaky.
Kang Young and Woo jin share a glance “No, she is fine. We are just here to clear our doubt regarding another case.” He eyes narrow down on the man “Is there anything you want to tell us.”
The man look down at his shoes “Two days after the celebration…. I…got a call…..she called me her voice was shaky…. she asked about Dr. Park at that time his condition was serious and when I told her about that she……she started crying…. sobbing…. about how she didn’t have choice…...I asked her what she’s talking about….” He heave a sigh “But before she can say anything the line went dead. I went to check on her apartment but the land lord said she left that some guy came in took all her stuff.”
The two nods woo jin silently connecting the dot while Kang Young ask follow up questions “Did she call you again?”
He shakes his head “only texts, short. It ticked me off when Baek Jeong didn’t came to try meet her again at the hospital either like he knew she isn’t coming back”
“What is her relationship with Dr. Park?” Kang Young asks.
A shadow of distaste cast on Ah So’s face “He’s an asshole he harassed most of the female stuff here, he even tried to assault her, she filed a complin against him and which had other nurse to complain too before the management got involved, they paid it all off before burying it all under the rug.
“Where is Dr. Park now?” Woo jin asks.
“He own a clinic few hours away from here.” He shares the address,
“Don’t worry about her she is fine, you will meet her soon don’t worry alright?” Woo Jin reassure the man and Ah so watches them get in the car and drive off.
Ah So has a crush, and his crush is currently sitting down in front of him oblivious to his feeling as his crush talks with Aria both of them enjoying the warm cup of coffee, the large clock o the walls read 1. 55 they just step out the ICCU to shake off the sleep, the hospital is silent the clam before morning rush, a quite peace, and his own free hour to see his crush without neglecting his work hour though his friend repeatedly ask why he see in his crush, claiming his taste need serious revaluation.
The said friend, you are currently frowning at him beside him no doubt judging him for the choice of his taste in men. You groan sliding the brownie you brought for them towards them.
“Why do you have that face when you look at me?” Seok man ask with tired exasperated tone at your lips pursed frown.
You fix your face “What face?”
“Aish!” he snatch the brownie from the table.
“How is your single dad doing?” Aria asks you taking her brownie tearing the wrapper.
You take sip of your hot coffee and bite of brownie “His name is Tae Geom first of all, and he’s fine actually.”
Seok man shake his head “That guy definitely got tied up with wrong crowed, that why he got stabbed.”
You roll your eyes at his words making him frown “Let’s not gossip about him.”
“Why not, we do with all our patients.” Seok man taunts “We just don’t do it in front of them.” He winks. Ah so chuckles at that his smile falling awkwardly when you glare at him.
Aria laugh also falls silent as he looks behind the two of you “Oh, who is that? Why is he staring at us?”
He and you turns heads to the back you let out noise recognition “It’s Tae Geom’s friend” you stand up walking towards the man.
The man stare at them before his eyes zero on you, the glint in his eyes changes ever so slightly as you take the man to another table, the three of the lean closers to hear yours and that man’s conversation. Seok Man takes out his phone discreetly snapping few pictures to mess with you for sure.
Ah So was visiting your apartment when he run into Baek Jeong walking down the stairs, though he can’t be sure since the man had a hood up and when he reach the hall of your apartment door he sees you standing by the door with large bouquet of red rose and when he says it’s big it’s big and alongside a small black paper bag the fancy kind one with white paper inside.
“Oh, is this from you but I thought you’re broke?”
He scoff playfully walking behind you as you set the bouquet on the small table watching it disappear under the mountain of red roses you set the bag on your lap. “You don’t know who it is from?”
You shake your head “there is note though” you take out the note the handing is fancy cursive “Baek Jeong?”
He lean closer to look at his, his suspicion seemed correct both of you take a sharp intake of breath when you open the box before you snap it shut just as you opened it.
A diamond earring inside the box.
“Oh, Wow.” He takes it from your hand opening it again “this guy is crazy or rich or both.” He laughs.
You snap shut the box “I’m not taking that?”
“You don’t want it?”
You stand up “Of course I would want to have nice diamond earrings but what would come with this, I don’t want that. Not right now.”
“Right, right.”
You and Ah so are taking care of the new patient that just arrived In ICCU when Dr. Park came in to check the patients.
Dr. Park stands beside you as he checks the patient for shitty person, he does seem to do his job well for the most part. He notes down something in the file you hand him he asks Ah So to check on the other patient for no reason, but he can’t disobey and leaves hesitantly through.
Across the corner of his eyes, he watches the two of you exchange words he pause when Dr. Park grabs on to your wrist, before you snatch your hand back moving away from, the man you leave behind scoffs mutter something under his breath.
He finds you again on his way to the cafeteria, though your foul mood seems thwacked, there is smile on your face as you talk, he goes to take the stairs as he goes up the person you talking to becomes visible Baek Jeong stands on the other side of the small table, you have outside store brought drink in your hand possible brought by the man beside you.
The four of are in a restaurant since the four you had a day off together, the food had came and pictures had taken and you had already started your batter with Seok man this time it was about how he take too much time to take pictures that he had made the food cold and Aria seems to enjoy the two of your bickering as her own personal favourite Tv show. While Ah So sneak in few bites here and there.
When the time to pay the waiter says the bill have been already paid and points at Baek Jeong sitting across few tables, he’s alone and his table only have bottle of alcohol.
“Not to sound ungrateful isn’t it weird how he always every where we are.” Aria voices her concern.
“I’m sorry about, I told him I would be here.” You speak up.
Ah So frown at that “I thought you stopped texting him?”
You look sheepish “I know. I’m sorry but he is very prescient and he’s nice to me.”
“Plus, he’s rich.” Seok Man says with laugh
“And he threatened me?” Ah So dumbs the bomb making three of you shocked, the table fall silent.
“He did what?” chorus of different exclamations echoes around the table making patrons of the restaurant turns to your table with an annoyed look on their face some even grumble about young people having no manners.
Ah So sighs at the worried look on his friends faces “He called me asking bunch of questions about what our relationship and asked me to stay away from you.”
“When?” You press eyes with enraged look on your face; he hesitates but you narrow your eye silently telling him to continue.
“Few days ago.”
Seok Man stand up the three of you follow to you pull him back before he can march to Baek Jeong. “Don’t make a scene”
“Yeah, and he didn’t actually threaten or anything just sound very possessive, ironic considering he’s not even your boyfriend.” He says looking at Baek Jeong who staring back at him.
“Listen, I will talk to him this is my mess I will fix it.” You state taking your things.
“We will wait.” Aria states gathering her things as well.
You shake your head “No it’s okey. We have night duty tomorrow. I will text when I get home.” they look unsure “I promise. I will fix it.”
You take your things and goes towards his table sitting down across him he pours the wine to empty glass, the one waiting for patiently, something they all missed, he knew you would come to him. He planned it. Calculated it and it happened just as he desired.
The next destination was reached in 15 minutes’ drive, Woo jin and Kang Young walks inside the clinic and at the front desk they see man in white coat chatting up a young women sitting on the reception, she has an awkward smile on her face as the man in front of her talks she looks relieved at their arrival standing up.
“Welcome to Dr. park’s clinic”
The man turns to them, the bold name tag indicating the man they are searching standing in front of them.
“How can I help you?” his hands in his coat pockets
Woo jin lift up his hand Dr. park nod ushering them to inspection area, the three enter a room he walks towards the table with his back to him taking out white gloves, Dr. Park walks back to them and sits on his chair now wearing surgical gloves. Woo jin sit down the chair in front of him.
“What happened?” taking Woo Jin’s hand in his as he inspect the wrapping.
Woo Jin says your name making the Docter halt his movement glancing up at the two male, Kang Young lock the door behind him taking out his badge. The man gulps as he does the scar on the side of his throat caught their eyes.
“It would be wise to tell the truth; we are in a rush.” He state with such conviction showing the photo of you and Im Baek Jeong in his phone, one that Ah So shared to him. “What is your deal with them?”
The man starts to sweat seeing the photo his eyes widen in fear seeing the man’s photo “Nothing. She was just a colleague and that’s her boyfriend that’s all I know.” He stand up taking off the gloves Woo Jin mirrors now standing by Kang Young’s side blocking the door.
“How do you get that scar?”
Dr. Park touches his scar “An accident.” He said meekly before standing straight “Officer you are interrupting my working hour and I would like you leave my clinic now.”
Woo Jin sighs “Sir, tell us truth there is nothing you need to afraid of.” The man sighs pacing around the room.
“Did he do that you or her?” Woo Jin prods cautiously.
The man sigh a terrified look on his face he stand straight “Nothing happened alright, I was mugged I didn’t see who did this.” His voice was shaky as he state. “You both need to get out of office right now before I call my lawyer.”
Kang Young look at the man assessing him the petrified stance of the man tell him that he’s not going to tell the truth any time soon, and they have limited time to gather everything they can get as soon as possible, he tap Woo Jin on his shoulder “Come on. Let’s go.”
Woo Jin frown but follow him as they step out, he voice his question “if we asked him again, he might tell us.”
“No, he won’t.” kang Young shake his head “He is terrified. I don’t think he will.” He turns back to clinic to see the man watching them from behind the glass door.
Dr. Park let out a breath walking back to his personal room, the woman at the desk frown seeing the cocky man sweating bullets and retreating back inside his room without throwing any flirty comments or looks she shrugs sitting back down, scrolling throw her phone enjoying the few moments of peace.
the chair creek under his weight he take off his gloves his, he let out shuddering breath as his hand shakes ever so slightly, the thin surgical scars along his fingers, knuckles and palm, the fingers are slightly uneven and shape the, the skin tight and shiner, the aftermath of several surgeries all in effort to put back to its original state.
Dr. Park has nightmare that plague even when he’s awake, even when he is surrounded by wealth and success because his nightmare is a walking talking human being, Im Baek Jeong.
He first meet the man in his own home just after he woke up, he was furious that you almost killed him, all because what, he choose you, you should been grateful that he even look at your direction, he could have given you a life you can only dream of if you had just agreed to go with him but you had to act all mighty and pretentious little bitch, he was even letting your filed complain slide, you just had to ask nicely and apologize but no you had to be difficult and hurt to the point he could have lost his voice.
You are going to pay for this; he will make sure that.
A light slap on his face has his brow furrowed in confusion as he groggily wakes up from vengeance daydreaming. “Wake up, asshole.”
A harder slap jolts him awake making him wince, he open his eyes, blinking at the dimmed lights of the room he conscious register the two-figure standing on his bed side.
“Who are you?” he question his voice is still strained and weak. He tries to sit up but finds that be is being tied around his middle, his legs are tied as well. “What the hell! Who are you people.”
“Untie me right NOW!” he yells at the men.
Both men are tall and the one closer to him stand a little taller than, his eyes are cold and deadly compared to the man standing behind him with monotone look on his face his hand tied behind his back.
“Look at this fucker asking questions.” The tall man says he grab Dr. parks face twisting to side to see the bandage covered neck up close, Dr. Park whine in pain as he does so “She should’ve pushed it deeper; we won’t have to meet.” The man tsks.
Dr. Park says your name making the tall man narrow his eyes at him, he hold out his palm and the man behind him place a knife on his hand. Dr Park try to call the nurse by pressing the emergency button but he finds nothing by his side.
“Listen carefully, if her name ever come out your mouth I will come back and kill you myself.” He state plainly the knife is pointed at his throat. “It’s shame I can’t kill you now.”
“Who are you?” Dr. Park ask again now trembling slightly, he hear footsteps coming and relax thinking he’s saved but it was crushed when he sees an unknown male steps into his vision, he had grin on his face. “Did she send you?” the taller mans eyes narrowed down him with dangerous glint and next thing he feels the sharp sting on his face and metallic taste on his tongue.
“Shut it you asshole.”
Baek Jeong looks down to Dr. park’s hand he take it examining he turns to the man beside him nodding, tae geom hands the knife to him.
Dr Park started to thrash around but the other guy push him down “No, no, no, no, no please don’t do this.” He cries pathetically “I have…... money lots of money.” he plead look at them. Baek Jeong take his and slash it diagonally making him scream in pain. “you assholes!” he cries as another cut is made just the same direction but a little deeper now, blood starts to pour down profusely on the floor as well
Baek Jeong wipe the blade in blanket setting it on Dr. parks heaving chest he take the blooding hand in both his palm his hands staining red “How much?” he questions.
“1 million!” Dr Park answer hastily anything to save his life his relief is short lived as the breaking of finger echoes the room making him wails again.
Baek Jeong hum before breaking another finger “5 million!! You fucking lunatics.” Dr Park thrash around but pushed down by the other man again.
Baek Jeong takes the Knife again Dr. park starts to get more nervous as he bring it closer to his pinkie finger “Wait...wait wait, please don’t. I will give you ten million.” He offer with nervous smile on his face Baek Jeong remain passive looking at man with no sympathy and in quick motion his slice of the finger making the man holler in pain as blood gush out the squelching sound was disgusting and revolting, Dr. Park slam his head back on the pillow as he wither in pain.
He bring the knife to his index finger “I will take 20 million, to spare your life.” Dr. Park nods crying shaking as the knife glide on his index finger “But I will take few of your finger.” Dr. parks eyes widen Bake Jeong gives a cold sinister smile “You know, for her.” the next slice come quickly as he finished talking.
Dr. Park blinks rapidly bring his wandering mind from the hellish memory; trembling hand reaches for the bottle of water he spill it on himself as he gulp it down. you were a haunting chapter of his life that he doesn’t want to have any remainder because the man who follows up after you is his death itself and he love himself and his life too much to die.
Woo Jin thinks he looks ridiculous but Min-a says other wise as she stick more heart shaped stickers on his forehead.
“Min-a, this is a lot of a stickers you’re using. Are you positive it’s not too many?”
She smiles widely “yeah.” Before continuing her quest, which is to exceed her last record.
“I bet you also like to stick these on your dad too. I’m sure he enjoys that, right?”
“Last time, I stuck a hundred on his face.”
“When was that?” he ask cautiously.
“This past Monday.” Another sticker is placed on his forehead by now most of his forehead is covered.
Woo jin nods “Oh, this past Monday.” From the peripheral vision he catch sticker sheet with only three left.
“Oh, then I bet your dad bought you that scooter three nights ago. So, its past Monday night, is that right?”
She shake her head saying your name “dad said it was her gift because she couldn’t come to see me last time”
Woo jin frown wondering how you were able to visit her if you are being held captive “Is she your dad’s friend?” Min-a nod sticking another sticker on his face “Does she came to visit you a lot?”
“Yeah” she said with a smile on her face
Woo Jin nods “Do you like the scooter? having fun with it? Is it cool?”
“Well, I’m little scared of it.” Her sad face makes Woo jin sad as well.
“Do you want me to teach you?” her eyes lit up at his offer making him smile they both stand up and walks out the room.
“Grandma, I’m going to ride the scooter with uncle.” She inform gleefully at her grandmother who’s sitting down with Kang Young.
“I’ll make sure she rides safely and stay careful.” Woo jin reassures.
“see you later, grandma.” She chimes excited to try her new gift.
Kang young nods looking at woo Jin “Be safe.” He wait until both of them are out before continuing.
“Ma’am. Actually, we know about your son. If you can help me out today, I can help your son safely return home. I promise that.”
She exhale torn between the two path she has but ultimately all she want is her son to be safe and she knows he had suffered so much and maybe this is the only way to save him now. She nods “So how am I, Uh…. supposed to help?”
“It’s simple. You just have to call me when he calls you.”
Woo Jeong calls Kang Young after he found out about the guy who hired the murder of the detective “I reviewed the CCTV footage and found the fourth suspect.”
“Oh yeah? Can you text me that picture?”
“Yeah, I’ll send it now.”
“And we just talked to Yun Tae Geom’s mother and we learned that his wife had pancreatic cancer. It seems he borrowed cash from loan sharks for her treatment, when he couldn’t pay the interest the sharks caused trouble at his base, so he was discharged.”
Woo Jeong face softens “must have been tough.”
“yeah, I feel bad for the guy a little bit.”
“Give me his phone number and I’ll see if I’m able to crack it.”
“I think he’s using a burner phone she says his number changes.”
“What would we do?”
“Well, yeah, we could notify the police, but in all likelihood, there are cops out there who hired by them too. If we put out a wanted notice Yun tae geom will disappear.”
Woo Jeong sighs but nods even though they can’t see both understanding the complex nature of the current situation.
“Why don’t we leave Yun Tae Geom and Mr. Cho alone for now. So, we can stay under radar. And Yun tae and I must meet. He’s clearly a tough guy, but he does this for his family. It’s possible we could bring him to our side.”
“Yes, sir.” Woo Jeong smile just then he remembers something his brow scrunched up “Sir what about the girl?” he can his superiors loud exhausted sigh at his question.
“Honestly everything about her vague and complicated it seems, she used to work as nurse and She is somewhat in alliance with Yun tae geom, his daughter knows her well to said she would come to visit them sometimes with Yun tae, his mother said she was his friend, and seems like only he will lead us to her as well. So, for now send me the bastard’s picture.”
“Sure” Woo Jeong answers ending the call he wonders what you and Yun tae came this situation.
Baek Jeong can feel the burning glare from you the sofa you sitting to all the way to the kitchen the air was tense when you last woke up and now it almost at the verge of spontaneous combustion, when Alan tried slide back to your good grace you had wacked him with nearest thing you could find with was solid décor in odd circle shape, the one you find in wealthy peoples house and mansions. Even Tae geom got stinky eye and chewed off by you when Baek Jeong send him to ask how you are feeling you answer was few innovative curse both at directed to him and man he was send by.
Baek Jeong look down at the fancy meal that he prepared its light but nutritious he grab the meticulously arranged plate walking to the living room his head held high, your stalks his movement with scowl on your face he set the plate on the table Infront of you making you scoff.
“Eat.”
He narrow his eyes at you when you don’t take the plate “Don’t be a brat.”
You don’t answer eyes still on him standing straight and walk to the kitchen he frown but relaxes thinking you left to get water but when you don’t come back after few seconds, he follows after you this time he scoff in disbelief at the boiling water and instant noodles packet resting on the counter.
“Suit yourself.” He mumbles walking back to the living room at least you are eating something that’s good enough the silent treatment he can bear but the last thing he wants you to go on hunger strike especially since you love food the first of many things he realized after the first few months of observing you [stalking really].
Alan is startled when Baek Jeong comes to the living room.
“What the hell are you doing?” Baek Jeong’s eyes narrowed at Alan who has utensils in his hand ready to dig into the meal.
“Oh!” he let out a nervous chuckle “I smelled something good.” Baek Jeong exhale heavily Alan takes that as his queue standing up and setting the utensils down. “I didn’t touch it.”
Alan leaves and Baek Jeong wonders why in the first place he recruited morons.
You serve the noddle in plate and strides to your room without a regard to the Baek Jeong who watches you move across the space you shut the door with loud thud intentionally announcing you wanted to be left alone but tae geom waiting inside the room on the bed he stands up when you step inside.
You give him an unimpressed look “Get out before I smash your face full of hot and spicy noddle” already walking to sit on your chair in the corner of the room, you hear shuffling thinking he left but sound of can opening proves otherwise.
You have your legs tucked under the seat as he comes closer, he sits on the small table with ease that reminded you of how he would shrink himself to the small chair during min-a’s playtime.
“I know sorry won’t cut it, but I did what I had to do.” He admits offering the drink to you, your spice tolerance isn’t that great everyone knows that but your liking to it is stronger but this time you don’t take it from him as usually does.
“Even If I told you, it won’t do any good you and I know that.” He continues.
“I think knowing I’m not a killer would’ve help me sleep better.” You state taking a bite of your meal.
“And I would have sleep better if you actually killed him.” You glance at him sharply he meets your eyes without flinching or looking away “What? he’s not a good guy. and you shouldn’t feel guilty for hurting him.”
You frown brows pinched together utensil pointed at him “is this your way of comforting me” he stare at you unblinkingly conforming your assumption a bitter sweet smile leaves your lips “Need a lot of work on that.”
Tae Geom lips curls at end at that as you take a bite missing the soft smile and eyes he gave you, still holding the drink in his hand, his eyes caught the way your hair fall around your face like curtains hiding you, you tug it back to take another bite only for it fall again he set the drink on his seat walking to your vanity your eyes lazily follows he take hair tie strides back to standing In front of you the two of you exchange a silent glance before you let out loud sigh and he moves to stand behind his hands tenderly grab the stubborn hairs in hold, mindful to not to tug too hard and with delicate precision he put gather the hairs and tie it neatly a little loose in way that allow the hair to breath but efficient enough to keep it out of your way.
He hums nodding to himself satisfied with his work thinking guess practice does makes one somewhat good alright at least.
He rounds and you take the drink taking a sip, sitting down back in his seat as the clam silence prevails the room contrast to the chaos that going outside.
