Crimson Gold // ATEEZ

Chapter -7-

Yeosang's POV

Hongjoong sighs and says,

"Okay, think what you want, but make your decision. Are you going to stay here with Yiren or leave and most likely get killed by one of our higher-ups?"

"Oh, that's not even a question, of course I'm staying. I promised Yiren I'd never leave her side once I found her again, and I plan on keeping that promise."

Everyone does a quick 'woo!' Hongjoong hushes them and says,

"That's great and all, but just remember that if you do plan on leaving later, it'll be harder. For now, you have to give us your life story. Bear in mind, Yeosang's practically a human lie detector."

"Got it."

"Alright, first I'll need your phones. Both of you."

He says as he points at them.

"Why do you need our phones? Are you gonna make us die from boredom?"

Yeri says as she rolls her eyes.

"No, just clear your contacts."

"Oh. Trust me, I don't have anyone in there besides my boss and this bitch who added himself. I fucking blocked him, but he came up to me and told me I had blocked him by accident. I literally told him that it was on purpose, but that bitch took my phone out of my hand and unblocked himself. Ugh, I wanted to punch him. At least I got to break his arm."

Yiren looks at her concerned and says,

"What trouble did you get into this time?"

"What?! Who says it had to be me who did something first?"

She says with a mad pout.

Oh, how I miss being with Yiren and Chaewon.

I think.

Yeri continues by saying,

"Anyway, that bitch tried to rape me, so I broke his arm, but my fucking boss fired me instead of him."

Hongjoong sighs and says,

"I'm sorry that happened to you, but can you please hand me your phone now?"

Yeri hands him the phone and he goes through her contacts.

"Okay, what was that man's name?"

"The bitch?"

"Yes."

"Taeyong."

Okay, I deleted Taeyong's and your boss's number, but who is 'Yeo'?"

Her eyes widen and she stutters,

"O-oh. It-it doesn't matter. He doesn't remember me anyway. This is his old phone number."

"I don't care if he remembers you or not. I asked, "Who is he?"

He sternly says in an intimidating voice. Her eyes flash to mine and I see tears welling up in them. She directs her eyes back to Hongjoong and says,

"Okay, fine. It was my brother's number."

"See? That wasn't so hard, was it? Now I'm going to remove him."

She suddenly screams, scaring everyone as she says,

"No! Please no! That's all I have left of him! It was a burner phone and it was left in our house. The last time I checked on it, the house was burned down to rubble. His phone is long gone, but the messages he sent me are still there. I read them all the time. Somehow I find them comforting."
