The next day I suddenly received a text from an unknown number.

Come see me at my house

Immediately I knew who it was. Han-Seok. And of course I was on my way ASAP. But not without shooting Vincenzo a quick text.

When I arrived at his house, he opened the door and smiled at me.
"Hey", he greeted and gave me a quick peck on the lips. I looked at him surprised. "What?", he asked. "I missed you while I was in jail."
As I walked into his living room I saw some pictures laying on the coffee table. "What are you looking at?", I asked.
"Nothing that concerns you", he replied, still smiling at me. It felt a little off at this point. Like the smile was frozen on his face, or something.
I stepped closer to the coffee table to get a better view, but he put them in a folder before I could see anything, only fueling my curiosity.
"A little rude, don't you think?", I asked playfully.
"What? That I don't let you look at pictures that are none of your business?" Wow.
"No, but your answer definitely is."
He apologized and sat down on the couch.
"Is something troubling you?", I asked, sitting on his lap, putting my arms around his neck, while his arms wrapped around my waist.
"I wouldn't want to burden you with my problems, would I?" Even though he again smiled at me, he seemed weird. Something was really wrong.
"You want something to drink?", he interrupted my train of thought. "Coffee maybe? You look a little tired. No wonder considering how worried you must have been about me", he said, running his fingers through my hair.
"You could say that", I gave a short reply.
"Let me make you one real quick."
As he was busy fumbling with the coffee machine in his kitchen, I took a quick look at the envelope, that held the pictures, but it gave nothing away.
"Here you go", he said and handed me the mug.
I thanked him and took a sip. All the while he stared at me intently. Something was definetly wrong.

"You okay?""Why?", I asked warily

"You okay?"
"Why?", I asked warily.
"You look a little pale."
The moment he said it I started to feel a little dizzy, which soon turned into a fully spinning living room.
"Weird that you should ask, I really don't feel so good all of a sudden", I mumbled.
"Baby, you should have known better than to think that you could trick me."
My eyes widened and I stood up. God knows what I wanted to do, but before I could, everything went black. The last thing I heard was Han-Seok whispering in my ear.
"I got you, baby."
