Red Flag [COMPLETED]

Chapter 34

IRENE

Lisa and I did not talk about the last incident of her getting so drunk because I knew she was just celebrating with friends. But it did not stop there. She would come home late because she went out with Joy or with Jennie. I was busy at work too so I just let her be. Maybe she was just getting bored after her last case and working on putting her own firm.

I continued my busy life too but I didn't stop from getting some answers. I asked an old friend who happened to be a detective to help me out with tracing an anonymous sender. It took him 5 days before he was able to report back to me. He even told me that my request is like finding a needle in a haystack and the probability of tracing the original sender is really slim. "Sehunie, thank you for returning my call. I got the information already and I really appreciate it." I had asked him so many favors even before when I was working on difficult cases that needed more information. He's the man for any difficult task.

"It's no biggie Hyunie. But may I ask what is this all about?" He normally does not ask me but maybe he got curious since it's the first time I asked something that does not involve any cases that I am handling.

I could not help but speak my mind. There are things that just don't fit right. I've been trying to connect all the dots and was getting nowhere. "Sehunie, maybe I am just being paranoid. But prior to the two of us moving in together. Someone purposely went to Lisa's place. No items were stolen or missing but her artworks were destroyed. I am not saying that it somehow links to this. I mean, we just transferred to a new place yet the sender was able to find out where we live. I find it really weird. Also, my girlfriend was really frightened about the photo. I need to know why the photo was sent to her. What's the person's motives?"

"Hmmm, can't you just ask Lisa? It would save you a lot of trouble." Sehun was right but how can I ask Lisa if she's finding a lot of excuses to avoid the topic?

"I can't, she is being too secretive lately. Maybe she is trying to keep these things away from me so I won't be worrying about her. I don't want us to fight about this when she was really busy with her recent case. I just wanted to understand what's really going on with her."

"Tsk, tsk. Why do you girls love complications? First, you allow yourself to be fooled by Seulgi for too long. Then now you are in a secret relationship with your best friend. I am never against you dating Lisa. But it's unfair that she's not open about you. She's hiding something from you. Aside from that she never officially tells anyone that she's dating you to put an end to those delusional fans of Park Sooyoung. Come on Hyunie, you deserve someone better. For how long are you going to be this patient and understanding? At least she should make some efforts so her family would acknowledge your relationship."

"Don't be like that. You know that I can always wait for her. She loves me and she has come a long way to prove me."

"Argh, I will not comment about your relationship anymore. You never listen to me anyway." He gave up and dropped the topic. "I will send you the complete address of the photo. As well as the current address of the delivery man. He's not from here and his working visa actually expired a few months ago. I don't know what you are trying to achieve. But know that you can always ask me if you need help, alright?"

"Thanks, you're just the best Sehunnie."

"You are welcome. Tell Lisa we will have some serious talking once she's no longer busy. I don't like that the two of you are keeping secrets from each other." Sehun is always a straightforward man which is what we like about him. But when you ask for some help he's the most reliable one.

"No worries, I'll tell her that you missed hanging out with us. We will set a date soon. Maybe once we talked about our wedding plans." I excitedly informed our old friend. But I was kind of unsure knowing I rarely talk or see my girlfriend.
