Her Knight In Dark

Chapter Seven

During the car ride, Haeun slept all the way home.

As Aiden parked the car at the porch and looked at Haeun's sleeping figure through the rearview mirror, Aiden sighed not knowing what to do with Haeun; she looked cute.

When Aiden came out of the car without making a noise and opened the back door on Haeun's side, he bent down to her level and scanned her facial features thoroughly.

When Haeun moved a bit, making Aiden nervous, he stepped back and stood straight.

While Haeun woke up, 'Miss Park, we are home,' Aiden informed her.

Listening to Aiden, Haeun searched for her cane around the seat but couldn't find it as it had fallen near Haeun's feet.

Aiden found the cane and picked it up.

'Here is your cane,' he said as he took Haeun's hand to place the cane in her palm.

Aiden's sudden touch made Haeun look in the direction where she thought Aiden was standing. Haeun felt safe around Aiden.

While he was totally unaware of the fact that his sudden act of kindness had affected Haeun's heart, Haeun was unconscious.

Seojoon parked his Lamborghini at the park of their mansion and frowned upon finding the entrance door open.

As they were a mafia family, Seojoon thought of all the negative possibilities that could be inside the house, like the presence of their enemies or trespassers.

So he hurriedly took out his gun from his car's dashboard compartment and got out.

Seojoon unlocked his gun and entered the house.

Upon entering the hall, he scanned the area and took a glance at the stairs, finding no one.

Familiar laughing sounds hit his ears. Seojoon closed the entrance door and, tucking his gun in his pants, took big steps towards the dining room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his sister Jiyoo and Taemin having dinner and laughing.

He couldn't believe his eyes and ears. He forgot to blink. 'Jiyoo,' finally Seojoon managed to say.

Jiyoo looked in the direction where Seojoon was standing. A wide smile of happiness spread across her face when she saw her brother.

'Weren't you coming back tomorrow?' Seojoon asked.

Ignoring Seojoon's question, Jiyoo ran towards her brother to hug him tightly. She craved this every day while living in the UK.

She had never had a chance to hug her mother and feel her warmth and love. Her brothers were all she had - their love, care, support, and hugs.

So she tried to squeeze out all her emotions in this one hug. Seojoon knew his sister very well, so he hugged her back with a smile of peace.

Taemin didn't utter a word; instead, he became happy for his childhood best friend, Jiyoo.

When they broke the hug and Jiyoo asked, 'Where is Aiden?'

Jiyoo looked very curious while asking about Aiden, which made Seojoon feel guilty because he had to lie to his sister.

'He went to Busan with his friend Jihan yesterday; he'll be back soon.'

'Oh,' Jiyoo pouted sadly.

'Why don't you join us, hyung?' Taemin asked.

'Why not,' Seojoon said and walked up to the chair beside Jiyoo.

Taemin was sitting opposite to Jiyoo. As Jiyoo served Seojoon.

'How're you Taemin? Haven't seen you after Jiyoo left for UK.'

'I'm good,' Taemin answered politely.

'Do you know brother, Taemin has joined the police force,' Jiyoo stated.And took her seat beside Seojoon.

But this unexpected news didn't put Seojoon at ease, instead it upset him.

'That's a very good news, well done, Taemin.'

Seojoon didn't find any other way to deal with his discomfort, he had to do this.

Through out the entire time they talked, laughed but, Seojoon was more attentive to Taemin instead of his sister.

Seojoon thought of Taemin's motive, negative questions poured in his brain. He couldn't concentrate. He feared, feared to get caught?

*****

Aiden slowly opened Haeun's room door to see her sleeping peacefully, covered under a blanket.

He closed the door without making a noise. Afterwards, Aiden walked out of the mansion's premises.

A black car was parked there by the road with four men inside. They came out when they saw Aiden approaching them.

'Boss, any orders for us?' one of the men asked.

'You guys, keep your eyes on this mansion. If something unexpected happens, take quick actions and don't forget to inform me.'

'Okay, sir,' one of them agreed and bowed.

Then, they left to start their work. Aiden got inside the black car, drove, and pulled out onto the road.

Another car followed Aiden.

After driving for quite some time, Aiden pulled over his car in front of a nightclub named 'Secrets.'

Aiden got out of his car and walked inside the club.

Meanwhile, the car from earlier also pulled over behind Aiden's car, and a man wearing blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and sneakers came out of the car.

This man seemed to be of the same age as Aiden. He had golden hair and pale skin.

This golden-haired man read the club's nameplate and walked inside.

As soon as he stepped in, loud music hit his ears. People were dancing, smoking, drinking. The air was drugged.

This man looked for Aiden, but he didn't find him anywhere.

Meanwhile, Aiden met two bouncers of the club and whispered something in their ears.

They led Aiden upstairs to a private room.

Entering the room, Aiden saw a middle-aged man sitting on a huge luxurious sofa, his legs were on the center table, and he was holding a beer glass.

'Ayy, Aiden, welcome,' the man spoke.

Aiden walked near the man while the middle-aged man put down his beer glass on the table.

'I heard there is a newcomer in Ahn's group, do you know anything?' Aiden asked.

Patrick lit up a smoke and thought for a minute. Aiden waited, boring Patrick's soul with his stern gaze.

'You're right,' the man spoke finally.

Then he further added, 'there is someone named Leo, no one has seen him. He is helping Ahn with his illegal trafficking business. They're trafficking illegal drugs, organs, etc.'

'Organ trafficking?' Aiden exclaimed.

'Yeah, they have links with different hospitals in South Korea.'

'Can you look into this Leo, Patrick? I need information about him.'

Patrick: 'My profit?'

Aiden: 'I'll give you 1 million dollars.'

Patrick: 'That's what I like. Want a drink?'

Aiden: 'No thanks, there might be drugs in it.'

Saying this, Aiden stormed out of the room. 'Jerk,' Patrick cursed under his breath as he became annoyed with Aiden.
