[ENGLISH VERSION] SEVENTEEN: Code One | SeokSoo

Chapter 15

Dokyeom managed to follow Jihyun until they finally arrived at the dormitory hall. Dokyeom really wants to know the physical evidence of Jieun's will, he is afraid that Jihyun deliberately lied to him to stay away from Joshua.

"Hey, Kook Jihyun!" Dokyeom exclaimed, making Jihyun stop in her tracks.

"Dokyeom? You've been following me along?" Jihyun said, a little confused.

"I want to take what you promised earlier. I don't like waiting."

"Oh, that problem? Go sit in the cafeteria. I'll get the letter in my room in a moment."

Dokyeom went to the cafeteria and sat there while waiting for Jihyun to take Jieun's will. At that time the situation in the canteen was quiet, it seemed that many students were still active at school.

A few minutes later, Jihyun came over to Dokyeom carrying a brown letter in her hand.

"This is what you want." Jihyun said while handing the letter to Dokyeom.

Dokyeom read the contents of the letter carefully. From the writing, Dokyeom knew that this was Jieun's father's writing with Jieun's signature underneath. Little Jieun wouldn't be able to write her own will of course.

"When did you receive this letter?" Dokyeom said.

"Uhmm ... Before we went to school here." Jihyun said.

"When is it exactly?"

"Huh? When you were about 15. Exactly three years after Jieun died."

Dokyeom wondered why Jieun's father, Lee Dawon, didn't give the letter to the person closest to Jieun like Dokyeom. From here Dokyeom felt something strange, whatever it was.

"When was the last time you met uncle Dawon?" Dokyeom said.

"The last time I met him... Two years ago." Jihyun said.

"Hmm... Okay. Can I take this letter?"

"For what?

"For what, you say? I still have rights over her. Why? Am I not allowed?"

"What do you want to do with this letter?"

"I just want to keep it well. Do you think I will give this letter to Joshua?"

"The problem is Uncle Dawon told me to keep the letter from falling into other people's hands. You can only take pictures of it."

"Uncle told you that? Why did he act like he never knew me as her daughter's best friend? Was he mad at me?"

Dokyeom was forced to just could take a photo of Jieun's will with his phone. Luckily, Dokyeom still had time to hold the letter for a moment.

Still, for Dokyeom, he could not accept the whole reality written in the letter. Dokyeom needed quite a long time to examine the contents of the letter. She couldn't just spontaneously distance herself from Joshua.

"So, what do you think? You'll be labeled a traitor by Jieun if you don't do what's in this letter. Uncle Dawon will definitely be mad at you." Jihyun said.

"Traitor? I know Jieun hates traitors, but from here I still won't be able to believe any of this." Dokyeom said.

"What? Everything is clearly written on it. Why don't you still believe it? I've given you clear evidence. Don't you feel sorry for Jieun?"

"It's not that I don't feel sorry for Jieun. I still love Jieun. But if someone took advantage of my weakness using Jieun's death, I wouldn't be able to forgive him and would slit his throat until his head fell off."
