Chapter 28: Interrogation

Soobin's Pov

A week later

"How is Y/n doing?" The young man sitting next to me asks me a question that only gets me to sigh. "She's not okay... In fact, I don't even know how she is, son. Ever since that incident and Bada's arrest, Y/n has kept herself locked up in her room. I barely see her around. Every day, I live in fear that she might do something to harm herself." I express my worry about Y/n and the entire situation.

Taehyung nods his head in understanding and gently places his hands on top of my hands. "You don't have to worry. You'll probably see her tomorrow since Bada's case will be held tomorrow in court. We... we are sure she'll return home." Taehyung states.

"How sure are you that she will go to the hearing, son? Have you seen how devasted my daughter is? I can barely recognize her. My daughter, who was so happy, yet stubborn and very short tempted, is gone. It's just a body now." I said as my tears started beaming out of my eyes.

Taehyung brings me into a hug and gently rubs my back while I sob. "Edward was a curse, and he still is even after he has died. He left wounds that will never heal." I said as I continued to sob.

Our bonding was interrupted by Taehyung's phone ringing. While still holding me with his left arm, he uses the right hand to pick up his phone and answer it.

"RM? Everything good?" He questions. I couldn't quite hear what was being said on the other line, but I could feel his body tense a little. He looks down to me to see me already looking up at him with my puffy eyes. He stares at me as the other man on the phone continues talking. "Aight, bro. I'll be there in 10." He said while still staring deep into my eyes, I wanted to look away, but I remained still trying to figure out what was happening. He slowly drops the call, still not looking away. "I-I h-have to go." He said.

I slowly nodded my head and blinked a few times, trying to get myself back to reality. I looked away and backed up to remove his arm away from me. He stood up from the couch, causing me to do the same. I put his hands in his jean pockets. "Ahm... take care of yourself and Y/n. I will be back to check up on her... and you." I nodded my head and watched him flash me his boxy smile and waved at me before leaving.

After he left, I let out a breath that I did not know I had held in. I touched my cheeks to feel them warm. Reality hits me! "N-no! No, Soobin. He's just a little boy. He's my daughter's age. No! This is wrong." I shook my head and slapped myself lightly. I walked to my room and opened my door to only close it shut once I'm inside.

Bada's Pov

"So will you do it?" I asked the guard through the prison bars. "How much are you willing to pay me?" He questions me back. "It's never a good thing to answer a question with a question. But since I happen to be the one who has a higher IQ over here, I'm willing to pay as much as you want." I said confidently with my hands tucked inside my pockets.

"Good. This is me risking my job and everything else, so the prize will be costly." He mentions. "You'll get the money as soon as you get the job done." I said to him

He then pulls out his phone and dials the number I had written for him on paper. It rings for the first time, but there is no answer. And for the second time, still no answer. And now for the last time... and a sweet, low hello was heard through the phone. My face immediately softened as I grabbed the prison bars with my hands that were in my pockets a few seconds ago.

Guard: Ms Y/n?

Y/n: Y-yes... w-who is this?

My heart breaks as I hear her voice crack. Which means she's been crying.
