Haunted [KTH]

Chapter 16

"So what about him?" I asked Seokjin again. We were now seated in the cafe and had already ordered.

"First of all, I have a question to ask you. Where did you meet Taehyung?" He asked and I told him how and where we met.

"Wait did you say old house?' He asked looking surprised. "Yeah" 

"Have you heard about the murder that happened there?" He asked sipping on his drink. 

"Yes. I've also heard that the police suspect that the victim was Jungwoo's brother."

"So you know about it? That's good. But do you know that your friend Kim Taehyung looks exactly like Jungwoo's brother and also has the same name as him?" He asked. That was news to me. "Is that why Minji and Jungwoo were shocked when they saw Taehyung?" I asked

"Yes. I knew him well, for I was his personal assistant."

"You were his personal assistant?"

"Yes"

"But why are you telling this to me ?" I asked, confused. "Because I think what if your friend is the same Taehyung who is Jungwoo's brother," Jin answered

"But if he died how could he again be alive?" I asked. " I'm confused about that too and keep in mind that the police only suspected that he could be the victim, they are not sure about that. Just try asking him about his past or something when you can, alright?"

"Ok," I said.

I thought back on what Jin said while on my way back home. 'Could he be the same Taehyung? But why didn't he tell me that? Personal reasons? Yeah, it could be for personal reasons.'

"We're here," said the cab driver, bringing me back to reality. I paid him and gave my thanks and was about to go inside when I noticed the door lock was open.

I entered the house cautiously. I heard the television playing and took an umbrella that I had kept in the hallway with me. I went inside saw someone sat on the couch watching the television. I didn't see the face of the person as I was behind him. Quietly and quickly as I can, I crept behind the person and hit him hard with the umbrella. 

He yelped in pain and turned around.

'Shit' I thought as I saw his face.
