[18: PANIC ROOM : TRUTH]

Niki walked up the stairs to Sunghoons office silently. "Niki. What are you doing here?" Jake asked. "Cheonsa had left some clothes at Sunghoons place so.. Sunghoon and Cheonsa told me to come get them." Niki replied. "Oh alright. Well I'm about to leave so make sure to lock everything when you leave." Jake said. Niki nodded.

As soon as Jake left, he rushed to Sunghoons office.

He saw Sunghoons desk had papers and folders thrown everywhere and immediately looked at them. All of them had the same name. Kim Seungmin.

"Kim Seungmin? The ceo of Kim corp...?" Niki thought. He looked through the folders for the address and put the important papers in his pocket. Niki looked at Sunghoons wall and saw a few weapons displayed. He grabbed a handgun and put it in his pocket. "Niki." Sunghoon said. Niki jumped and turned around.

"What do you think you're doing?" Sunghoon asked. "Nothing. I thought Cheonsas clothes were in here. That's why I was looking around." Niki replied. "Why are you by my wall?" Sunghoon asked. "I was admiring it, that's all." Niki said. Sunghoon nodded, "Alright. Her clothes are in my penthouse next door." Niki nodded and bowed his head before leaving.

"Alright man, nothing is working." Jeongin said. "I know. But we know we're not doing this for me." Seungmin said. "Then who are we doing it for?" Jeongin asked. "My boss." Seungmin replied. "But you own Kim corp. right?" Jeongin asked. "I'm not the founder." Seungmin replied.

"Then who is?" Jeongin asked. Suddenly, they heard someone walk In. "I'm going to go greet our guest." Seungmin said. Jeongin nodded as Seungmin left.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The woman at the front desk asked. "I'd like to talk to Kim Seungmin please." Niki said. "Your wish is my command." Seungmin smiled, walking up to him.

Niki smiled falsely, "I'm here representing Park Sunghoon for your meeting. I have all of the information with me. He couldn't make it due to a family emergency." He said. "Ah I heard of the incident. Tell him I hope she has a smooth recovery." Seungmin said. Niki just nodded and followed him.

As soon as they walked in the office, Seungmins smile dropped. "Get him." He said sternly. Suddenly, Niki was in the arms of two bodyguards. "Ya! What is this for-" "Do you think I'm stupid?" Seungmin asked. The bodyguards took the gun and files out of Niki's pocket and held the gun to his neck.

Sunghoon looked around his office and his eyes widened. "The files." He mumbled. "That kid! He's such a liar!" Sunghoon groaned. He looked at his weapon wall and began to count. "6, 7, 8, 23... he took 24." He said out loud.

—

"Did Sunghoon send you?" Seungmin asked. "He told me not to come." Niki replied, trying to break out of the rope. "Stop trying to escape." A bodyguard said, tightening the rope for the 5th time. "Look do you think you can shoot someone and get away with it?" Niki asked. "Don't you as well?" Seungmin asked. Niki went quiet.

"Look kid. I get if you care about your little friend or whatever. But the real world doesn't always allow revenge to work. You either get caught, or you don't. And those with higher power, don't get caught. Like me." Seungmin said, "Take the recorder." Niki groaned as the guard took the recorder from his pocket. "You're going to get caught." Niki said.

"How?" Seungmin asked. "People know already." Niki said. "As in people you mean you? You won't get the word out." Seungmin said. "How do you know that?" Niki asked. "Kill him." Seungmin said. Niki's eyes widened as he felt a knife slice through the back of his neck.

Cheonsa stood on the balcony and sighed. She knew Sunghoon couldn't stay forever, but she wish he could. The boredom was killing her. "Cheonsa." Sunghoon said. "Can you read my mind?" Cheonsa smiled, but it immediately faded seeing his expression. "Did you know what Niki was planning?" Sunghoon asked. "No." Cheonsa replied, "what did he do?"

"Cheonsa, I need you to do exactly as I say okay? Call the police and tell them to go to Kim corporation." Sunghoon said, adjusting his hair. "Why?" Cheonsa asked. "Just do it." Sunghoon said sternly, snapping his fingers and disappearing.

Cheonsa rushed to her phone and called the police. "911 what's your emergency?" The receptionist asked. "Uhm there's an emergency at Kim corporation for singers and uhm... we need you as soon as possible." Cheonsa said. "We'll be on our way. What's the emergency?" The receptionist asked.

"Well I don't know the emergency but I know it's urgent. My friend asked me to call, so I know it's important." Cheonsa replied. "Alright ma'am stay where you are and we'll handle the situation." The receptionist said. "Thank you." Cheonsa said.

Sunghoon groaned as his head hit the wall. He looked around and heard talking downstairs.

"Kill him." He heard Seungmin say. Sunghoon stood behind the wall silently. Suddenly, he heard a loud scream in pain and froze.

"Look kid, I don't wanna kill you, I don't. But I don't need you running your mouth." Seungmin said, lifting Niki's chin. Niki winced and tried to escape the rope. "What have I said about trying to escape?" Seungmin asked. He motioned for the bodyguard to take action.

The bodyguard was about to take action, when he was thrown against the wall. Seungmin looked around in confusion, then realization hit him. "He's here." He whispered as he ran out of the room. Niki saw a shadow follow Seungmin down the hallway and tried to break out of of rope.

He heard screams and began to panic. He kicked and moved around until his chair fell back. He grunted in pain when his head hit the ground. The bodyguard got up and pointed the gun at Niki. "I won't tell!" Niki yelled. The bodyguard lowered the gun.

"What did I tell you to do?" A deep voice asked through the bodyguards ear piece. The voice wasn't Seungmin. The bodyguard lifted the gun with shaky hands and pulled the trigger.
