The Clandestine: Chapter 19

The Last Chapter

Seoul, South Korea (2017)

"The brake malfunctioned so instead I crashed our car into a post to avoid accident to others." Mark replied to the police investigator. The police went to his hospital room to interview him about the accident.

The police investigator nodded while taking notes. "To avoid accident to others, you intentionally hit your car so just the two of you will be on the accident, that's what are you trying to say?"

"Yes."

"But why does the passenger's seat are the one that destroyed the most and not yours?"

Mark gulped. "I don't kn—"

"In this case, Mr—" the police glanced at the documents on his hands. "Mr. Tuan...they can accuse you for attempted murder."

"S-Sir...what the hell are you talking about!?"

"Well, Mr. Tuan, you caused the trouble here so better find a lawyer." The police stood up. "Thanks for your time." Then he left the room.

Mark leaned back his head to the headboard and sighed.

"Do you think they will file a case?" Jaebeom asked him.

"I don't care. I just want her to be safe..."

Jaebeom hissed and shouted. "Then you should not have done that in the first place!"

Mark suddenly cried. "I really don't know, Jaebeom... I don't know what I will do without her."

"Do the right thing before her wake up."

____________

"What really happened?"

"Are you two really dating?"

"Did you visit her on the hospital?"

"Do you blame yourself for her being unconscious?"

Mark remained no expression while sitting down at the press conference he asked for. He wants to clean everything in media before Irene waking up. He came up with this idea when Jaebeom told him the right thing. But, the reporters are keep on asking many questions.

Meanwhile, the members of his group and the manager are standing at the backstage.

"Why does he have to hold a press conference?" BamBam asked with a phone on his hand. "He could post anything in his SNS!"

Jinyoung hit the younger's head. "Are you stupid? Mark-hyung is doing a right thing! Can't you see?"

"Nothing can be resolved if he will just receive the punches there. Sitting there and listening to all questions won't solve anything." Jaebeom walked out.

Jackson sighed. "Jaebeom is right."

"Let's just wait for him to answer." Youngjae said in irritation while eating.

The reporters are keep on shouting their questions that you will never understand what they are saying. They've been doing that for half an hour, still they couldn't get any response from the public figure on the stage.

Mark finally said, after holding it too much, "Reporters must know one of the etiquette they should follow. It's like we're in a classroom, students are answering in chorus with no manners." His tone are firm and rude that makes all of them shut their mouth.
