They sat in the cab quietly, mostly minding their own business. Hyunwoo cast a quick glance at Kihyun. The latter wore a champagne coloured silk shirt and black pants. He even wore dress shoes. He probably came out for a reason. Hyunwoo suppressed the urge to ask Kihyun.
I don't know him that well after all.
Kihyun had, in fact, noticed Hyunwoo looking at him suspiciously, but decided to ignore it. He knows I lied just now, I'm sure of it. Kihyun picked at his fingernails. The way he's looking at me is really unnerving.
Kihyun looked out of the window in order to avoid Hyunwoo's gaze. Well, this is awkward. At that moment, his phone rang. He looked down to see an empty caller ID on the call screen.
He picked up anyway.
"It's me, Red."
Kihyun pulled the phone away from his ear in disgust. How did she get my number? He was contemplating hanging up, but he wanted to hear what tricks she was hiding up her sleeve.
"Kihyun, I know you're listening."
She breathed heavily into the mouthpiece. Kihyun resisted the urge to yell into the phone.
"I believe you're in the same cab as my brother now."
Kihyun's eyes widened. He looked at Hyunwoo, who had fallen asleep. Red's brother? He was Red's brother?!
"Hurt me, kill me, do anything you want to me. Just leave my brother alone. I'm begging you."
Kihyun couldn't even utter a single word. Hyunwoo is Red's brother. Sitting right beside me is the brother of the very woman who ruined my friend's life.
"Kihyun, did you hear me? I'm begging you to leave my brother alone. He didn't do anything! Take me if you have to. Just... leave him alone, please."
Kihyun lowered the phone. His thumb hovered over the "End Call" button. He closed his eyes and pressed it.
Hyunwoo was still fast asleep.
