It's Okey, You're Here With Me

Chapter Eight

(Day Five)

"Hgnh.."

The bright light from the unclosed curtain of the ward made Daesung groaned from his sound slumber. After rubbing his eyes, he groaned again as he tried to sit up on the hospital bed.

"Daesung oppa!!!"

A sudden scream penetrated through his ears and he could feel hands tightly wrapping around himself. As his vision cleared, he saw Minzy in tears while hugging himself tightly, and standing beside the bed was a man smiling warmly at himself.

"Woah!"

Minzy shrieked happily when Daesung pulled into a tight hug with an angelic smile.

"I missed you, oppa. I thought you were just gonna sleep the entire time here..."

Minzy said with a hint of sadness as she laid her head on Daesung's chest.

"Don't be sad, Min. See, oppa is awake now right??"

Daesung said as he flashed a bright smile. Minzy returned Daesung's smile before leaving Daesung's lap and than sat beside Dong Wook.

"Oppa, this is Choi Dong Wook sunbae. He's a lieutenant officer from Seoul Police Department. He's gonna be a parent of the both of us."

Minzy said with a smile as she leaned on Dong Wook's shoulder.

"Hello, Kang Daesung. Minzy has been constantly talking about you the entire time when you were sleeping."

Dong Wook smiled warmly as he offered his hand towards Daesung. With a big smile, Daesung shook the elder's hand back.

'These two are actually cute together..'

Dong Wook thought as he saw Minzy taking a bowl of warm porridge and fed Daesung.

"I'm gonna go grab something for a while. And Minzy, please finish your meal this time without me finding it being fed to one of the cats outside."

"You knew??!!"

Seeing Minzy's large eyes, Dong Wook couldn't help but laughed as he ruffled the girl's hair.

"Bye, guys. I'll be back in a hour or two."

Locking the door of the ward with a special pass that was given by the hospital, Dong Wook whistled a random tune as he made his way to a room. Swiping his card, the door beeped and opened, granting aceess for Dong Wook to go in.

Inside the room, a few computer screens were displayed on the wall. Every one of them were cameras showing all the five survivors room. A man in all black was sitting in front of the computer screens, his back facing Dong Wook.

"I assumed you came here to tell me about something."

"Yes, sir. One of the six survivors, Kang Daesung has woken up after a week. The only girl awake, Gong Minzy has undergone check up and will be transfered to the apartment next week. No news about the others."

"And Seungri's kid??"

"Still nothing, sir."

The mysterious man went silent at Dong Wook's statement before standing up and paced around the room.

"Se7en."

Dong Wook's eyes visibly widened at the word but managed to keep his emotionless facade.

"Son of the deceased officer, Knight. Secret undercover police and assassin of the SPD. Was trained under the age of seven. Became a assasin at the mere age of twelve. Victims were always found with a number 7  mark on their body."

The man continued as he stared at Dong Wook's expression. Dong Wook licked his lips as he tried to block out the man's voice but to no success.

"After your seventy-seven kill, you seemingly vanished from the assassin world. What happened??"

Dong Wook could see the smirk on the man's face as his expression remain emotionless.

"I don't wanna talk about this. My assassin days are over. So, why the hell did you bring you me here, Detective Dong Youngbae??"

Youngbae chuckled as he turned to face Dong Wook. He was smiling, but Dong Wook felt a chill running down his spine when the man directed the smile at himself.

"Well, I didn't actually wanna do this. But you see, during your assassin days, you have killed one Dong Taewon."

Youngbae's smile fell as he suddenly slammed Dong Wook to a wall and tried to strangled the older.

"For your information, Dong Taewon was my father. You have murdered him with a bullet stuck to his head when he's on the way to work.July 7th, Golden Star Enterprises, does this ring a bell?"

Dong Wook widened his eyes as he recalled the memory. He was given a 1000 million won bounty just to kill that guy. He remembered that he had perched in one of the buildings not far away from the company. He remembered that at the sight of the man, he had instantly fired the shot and qiuckly fled the area. He also remembered that it was also his last kill: the seventy-seven kill before he left the assassin's dark world.

"You... were... his son..."

"Damn right I am. When I found out the truth behind my father's murder, it was because he was the mastermind behind the whole 'illegal experiment on kids' operation."

Youngbae suddenly released his hold on Dong Wook, making the older fall to the ground as he coughed for breath.

"You know why I haven't cracked more than five case even after 10 years in the force?? Simple, the only cases that I took were all about the secret organisation that my father had been creating for all those years. I was a fool for letting Ji Yong gaining access to those private files, and even an idiot for letting Seungri do the investigation. Now, all the hard work my father had done was destroyed in matter of seconds because of you peasants!!"

Youngbae shouted at the end of the sentence as he punched the wall, his fist briefly missed Dong Wook's head. As Youngbae retracted his hand back, he huffed at the crimson liquid pooling on his hand as he let it limp by his side. Dong Wook opened his tightly closed eyes and gulped at Youngbae's fierce gaze on him.

"What do you want from me than?? Other than having those skills, I am nothing but a lieutenant officer."

"Well, after a few years in the police force could actually be beneficial for a disguised criminal like me."

Youngbae took out a rolled up paper from his coat and handed it to Dong Wook.

"As I said, being in the police force does give you benefits. During the pass few years in the SPD, I found out something that the others have not."

Dong Wook swallowed as he continued to stare at the paper in his hands.

"Your growing affection for Gummy-sshi."

"Don't you dare lay a finger on her!!"

Dong Wook shouted as he tossed the paper aside. The paper was actually a photo of Gummy, in blood.

"I wouldn't dare anyway. But, if you really want her to live, you'll have to follow my orders. As Se7en."

Dong Wook's gaze darkened as he bowed his head.

"And if I don't??"

"I'll dug out all the files about your past and expose it to the public, and make sure that the one you love will die a horrible death."

Youngbae's smirk reappeared as he calmly looked at the man in front of you. Seeing Dong Wook slowly bowed to his feet, Youngbae knew he had won.

"What are your orders, sir??"
