A Forbidden Dream | Lee Taeyong x Reader

Chapter 16:

"Diaz?"
"If you'd call me with that name, it's fine. I'm the one you've been looking for, right?"

I gripped the telephone tighter, my fist shaking in anger.

"How the fuck did you know?"

I aggressively asked him with a stern tone, gritting my teeth furiously as he chucked in response. That motherfucker really had the audacity to call me in my office. I started at Jungwoo, mouthing a "track his address" as he nodded and went to the other desktop at the other side of my office. The whole force must know about this incoming threat from this piece of shit.

Fuck, I even have to witness one of the inmates panics because of this once again.

"Asking residents? What a stupid move, Chief. You could've done better to hide yourself and your impulsive actions. You're going nowhere just like the boys and girls that I toy with-"
"Now, shut the fuck up."

I interrupted him, not wanting to listen to any of his words.

"What the fuck do you even want? Do you think you're not gonna end up here and just stay with whatever the fuck you're doing to those children?! I don't fucking think so."

I told him without hesitation, causing him to let out a chuckle.

"Fine, let's have a deal."

He says as I sit there, being confused at what he's saying and angered at his decisions. I'm a police officer with the highest position in this goddamn facility and I'm not selling my pride for something so corrupted! I look back at Jungwoo once again as he shakes his head.

He couldn't track where the phone call comes from.

Shit.

"Look, Diaz, I'm not fucking with deals-"
"I let go of the kids here but you have to give me someone in return."

He bargains as I tilt my head, still confused.

"... Who?'

I was desperate to save those poor souls... so desperate that I'd do anything to save them from this fucked up psycho.

"My love."
"Who?"

Suddenly, the phone call ended as I sat there without a word. Who is his love? Who do I have to give back?! Maybe if U hadn't lost my sister to her sixty-year-old husband, I wouldn't feel the need to do something like this!

But it felt too wrong...

And I felt too guilty.

"I couldn't track his address but I have a feeling that he's just around here... in Korea."
"He must've been already near here."

I grumbled as I later looked up at him.

"Jungwoo?"
"Yes, Sir?"

He asks as I try to think of something that might help this whole issue.

"... Do you somehow have an idea who this son of a bitch is in love with?"

I ask as Jungwoo looks in the distance, squinting his eyes. He tries to think of an answer and I have a feeling that we somehow know who the person is but I just can't remember who...

He turns to look back at me once more, still squinting his eyes in confusion. After a solid minute, he lets out a sigh while he shakes his head in disappointment.

"I'm afraid I don't know, Sir, but I know that we have to act fast."

I let out a sigh, rubbing my temples as I notice the binder on the other side of the room.
