"Sweetie, we look similar."
"Nico, I haven't even seen you without that funny shades."
"Is it hard to believe, my nephew? Did Jun-ki never told you about her brother?"
I hate that he isn't lying.
Mom did tell me about her brother, but for it to be this Nico.
"Jeonghan, you look like your mother. Do you, perhaps, inherited her ability, too?"
"Huh?"
"Joshua made it obvious that you can sense emotions. How lucky for Jun-ki and you to be blessed with that."
So, mom has it too? I thought this is just my acquired skill. I stared deeply into his eyes and still all of it are truths.
"That's creepy. I better cover those." And he blindfolded me.
Struggling will be fruitless so I enjoyed the process instead.
"Can you still continue your journey with Hong Jisoo?"
Why is he now talking about my relationship with Joshua..
Then I remembered, Taehyung said Seung Su was adopted by Nico's dad. So, does that mean we're cousins or what-
"Joshua and I are not on that level yet."
"I'm sorry? Oh.. Oh hahahaha. I'm not talking about your lovely relationship. I'm asking how do you feel that your uncle killed your lover's dad. Since you're obviously thinking of Jisoo right now, don't worry, my dad did not legally adopt Seung Su. So we're not related neither by blood or law. So be free to date him."
Oh sweet cactus, that was embarrassing. I'd rather let him kill me. But to be honest, I'm relieved to hear that Joshua and I are not cousins.
"So, your own blood killed your lover's father."
"Own blood my ass. I feel like killing you or something similar."
"Disrespectful. I see. You probably got that from your father. Anyway, I want to ask for a small favor."
"No."
"Come on. Hear me out. You might also want it."
He leaned closer and whispered his demands.
"Yo, what's that?" I am so confused right now.
"It's an easy task, right? In exchange for my nephew and his lover's freedom."
It's really tempting. He's asking me for such an achievable request for a wonderful price.
I just don't get it and I don't have a good feeling with this.
Again, it's super simple. But..
"I'll let you decide. You don't have much time, though. I will have to hand you over to your favorite person. I'm sorry, my nephew, I can't breach the deal with them. I'm wishing for your survival."
I heard the car door open then the wind gushed in.
"Hey, is the blindfold really necessary?? At least take this off." And no one answered.
Another car door opening and felt the car changed its level. Then the engine started, forwarding the car in an average speed. I tried to locate where we're going by its turns. But I have never been to this place and no idea at all.
Finally, we stopped and these people dragged me down the car as if I'm their luggage. Another man spoke
"So you really got him." Said a familiar voice.
"Are you sure those are the only things you want from us?" Another man spoke, another familiar tone.
"I'm afraid boss that I don't know what you're talking about. But boss Nico said we only need to give this to you, and you know what to do." Said the man who's holding me. Did he address me as "this"?!
