Saving the Assassin

Chapter 21: Boys

"Kai." Daesuk shook Kai.

"I'm tired I'll report to you tomorrow." He replied still not moving his head out of his pillow.

"I bought chicken." Bull's eye.

"On the otherhand, maybe I'll do it right now since you're here already." Kai sat and said with a straight face making Daesuk chuckle. He grabbed the box, opened it and picked the wings dragging it in his mouth.

Aside from vomitting all he had eaten and being a little hungry, he obviously loves chicken.

"I heard you're not feeling well." Kai stopped mid-way from chewing but continues anyway. "Isn't it obvious? I should've gone to your office already if I felt alright."

"Then why is Jae Mi here? Did you call her and tell her you're sick so she could take care of you?"

"Why in the world would I do that Mr. Han Daesuk? She was here cause she was wondering why I wasn't around. It was a friendly meeting." Kai told him off.

"Hm. You're strange. I never thought you would exert effort to fetch someone downstairs just to enter your unit... and it seems like you two have the same statement eh?" Kai was about to speak but he raised his hand, his palm facing the boy, to stop him. "Let me tell you straight. You as an 18 year old boy, is unconscious of a lot of things including your emotions. You may deny her at all aspects but I know, there's a large possibility for you to fall for her." Daesuk continued.

"W-what?" Kai stuttered a bit, a little unsure. He never thought about it. But Daesuk pinpointed it making him realize his acts.

I accompanied her when she lost her mother.

I still followed her when she ran away.

I helped her getting a job.

I fetched her downstairs anticipating what she's gonna tell me.

I've been obeying her.

He shook his head a bit to yank the thoughts off his head. It's confusing him. "I won't Daesuk."

"May I remind you again, she might be in danger if you keep being with her." Daesuk swallowed saying this.

He knows himself that Kai won't be facing any danger if it wasn't for him, but everything already happened so he needs to make up those rules.

"I know." He blunts.

"By the way. Spill. How's yester-night?" Daesuk changed the topic.

"Good. I killed Chang Ji Mo. But I didn't afford to kill Wang Bae Jun since the event was surrounded immediately. I could've gone for him after Ji Mo if the detective brat wasn't guarding him outside the washroom." He reported.

"Any wrongs you think you've done?"

"No. If I did I've been arrested by now." He takes one last bite from the chicken wing and puts it down and drags the box to his table.

"But... I had this new encounter. I have this girl who I bought from the auction to have a little fun but I snapped out of it easily to do my real purpose. But after killing Ji Mo, in my escape, she tried to blackmail me by pointing a knife on my neck. She tried making a deal with me to stop killing them so that she'll not hinder me. I don't think it would be the first and last." He continued.

Daesuk took time to analyze. "Using a girl to stop us huh. I know you can handle her well. Lure her with you. I bet it's Geun Ri's pawn. He took knowledge of me now. This means declaration of war then." Daesuk knew among those four he wanted to take revenge to, Geun Ri would be the most conscious of him. The others cared less.
