Tied Book 2

Chapter 211

From his back, Ji Hoon felt his muscles tense causing him to drop his phone. As his body continued to lock, the man scoured the room in search of the origin.

What the hell was that??

A bundle of texts hit the man's phone, prompting him to grab the cellular device.

Inferior: Did you feel that?

Ji Seok: I wasn't the only one that felt that, right?

Inferior: JiU?

JiU: I felt that

Ji Hoon stared at the texts with furrowed eyebrows, alerting the resident Kim Minju who had just entered the room.

"Oppa? What's wrong?"

"N-Nothing."

"That doesn't look like nothing."

"Don't worry, I just woke up from a nightmare."

Minju chortled, "You're capable of dreaming?"

"Yeah?"

"Huh," Minju shrugged, "Okay."

Ji Hoon let out a low sigh, sliding out of bed.

I sense that I'm going to be called to the front lines.

Grabbing a jacket from his closet, an ominous aura permeated from Ji Hoon as he started toward the door.

"I'm going to head out for a bit, MinMin."

"How long?" Minju tilted her head, "Will you be back for dinner?"

"I'm not sure."

Minju furrowed an eyebrow, "You're not sure?"

"I'll get home as soon as possible."

"Does it have to do with why you were gone earlier?"

Ji Hoon paused--an air of hesitation settled between the two before the man eventually nodded.

"Yeah."

"Is it something you can tell me?"

Ji Hoon looked back to see worry plastered across Minju's face.

"No..."

"Okay... Stay safe, Oppa."

"I will return home. I promise."

Minju frowned as she stood in her room. An anxious feeling she couldn't shake overwhelmed her causing her to rush out of the room, approaching the older man with a back hug.

"Oppa..."

"Don't worry, MinMin. I'll be fine. It's really urgent though. I have to go."

"Do you have to go?"

Ji Hoon pressed on his girlfriend's body, attempting to push her away.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because, JiU ah needs me."

"Why? She can do everything herself!"

"I can't explain it. Please let go."

"I don't want to... I'm scared that if I do, I won't be able to hold you again..."

From the master bedroom, Y/n watched the couple.

What's going on?

"Please don't go, Oppa..."

"I have to."
