Truth will set you free
But not until it is finished with you..."I need help." Sri's tone was far from a mere request; it was a demand cloaked in desperation.
Hoseok erupted into laughter, disbelief washing over his features. "Did I hear that right? Did a gangster just ask the police for help?" He took a sharp breath, narrowing his eyes at her. "You know I can arrest you right here and now? You've troubled me enough, S... it's time for some payback." Just as he was about to stand, a cold metallic sensation pressed against his knee, halting him in his tracks.
"You. Will. Help." Sri pressed the muzzle of her gun firmly into his leg beneath the table. To the outside world, the trio appeared to be a married couple enjoying a conversation with an ex-husband, but the atmosphere was far darker. It felt as though a gunshot could echo through the café at any moment.
Hoseok swallowed hard, glancing at Yoongi for any sign of assistance. Yet, Yoongi seemed oblivious to the gun pointed at Hoseok's leg. With a steely gaze, Hoseok turned back to the emotionless woman before him. "You'll regret this, Kim Sri."
"Hey, hey! No need to get so venomous. Hear her out first." Yoongi interjected, hoping to diffuse the tension before things escalated. Hoseok released a shaky breath and gestured for them to continue.
Sri detailed everything that had transpired since she left the Titans, assuring him that she was no longer involved with the gang and hadn't met any Titans since returning to Korea.
Hoseok pinched the bridge of his nose, absorbing the information. She was a desperate mother searching for her daughter. Though she was still wanted, many believed her dead. If she promised to leave Korea once she found her daughter, he could help her. He respected Taehyung immensely, and even though he had married a criminal, Hoseok couldn't bring himself to hate him.
"But why come to me? You could have gone to your brother," he asked, fiddling with his now-empty coffee mug.
Sri looked away, her eyes filled with sorrow. For the first time, Hoseok saw a flicker of emotion in her typically empty gaze. "I want to avoid my past. I'm trying to be a better person now. For Taehyung... for Taesoo. Since you have the power you call Justice, can you help me locate the Eclipse gang?"
Hoseok scrutinized her for a few moments longer. Helping her felt like gambling; she could easily be lying, or worse, all the doctors could be in cahoots with her. He needed to test her resolve. "Now the question is... why should I help you? How do I know you're not just spinning a tale?"
"All the criminals found in front of the police station were deposited there by me. I've already helped the police with their work. If you help me find the Eclipse gang, the police can dismantle that threat simultaneously. One less problem for you to deal with." Sri clenched her fists, feeling the pressure of Hoseok's skepticism. She had never liked the officer, but she needed this for Taesoo.
