Curiosity killed the cat.
The popular word used to warn people of being inquisitive of unnecessary investigation. But that was what I was doing now.
"Anything strange in the US? Like what?"
I didn't want to sound like a bad niece to my uncle or even distrusting him, but his business partner gave me all the right reasons for suspicion.
Offending both sides was also not my main goal. Because one was Taehyung's uncle and the other one was my own uncle. How screwed up.
"Did Mr Lee ever like- do something strange other than working? I'm sorry if I sound leery but—"
"In conclusion, do my uncle have any criminal record? Like hiding a person in his hideout or—"
"TAEHYUNG!" I slapped his thigh.
"Ow!"
I couldn't believe how he was being effortlessly straightforward talking to Seo Jun about an unidentified case of my father when all this time I was trying so hard to hide it from the public.
A loud chuckle slipped from his mouth, "You mean like an abductor who kidnaps people?"
Because of Taehyung, I ended up spilling everything to Seo Jun. From how the anonymous number sent a perplexed code to Taehyung's phone and how we ended up getting Officer Jeon and his captain tangled on this mess.
Despite the evident feeling of terror in my heart, I thought I should learn to trust other people outside my comfort zone. Seo Jun might be beneficial in helping me since his dad had a considerable connection with the man in suspect.
But honestly speaking, Mr Lee didn't look like someone who would go as far as hiding a soul in his hideout.
Or maybe he would.
"THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT YOUR FATHER IS STILL ALIVE? Oh my namjesus Claire why didn't you tell me—"
"Seo Jun!" I shushed him violently, covering his mouth. I was not going to deal with anymore accidental blurting from their irresponsible mouths.
"So that's also why you, Taehyung, dislike your uncle a lot?" Seo Jun asked, getting quite a palpable hint of the situation.
"That's only a quarter reason of it. Obviously, there are more to add." Taehyung rolled his eyes.
