IMMORTAL CYBORG || LEE HONGBIN

CHAPTER 38

Heeyoung took a walk up until she went down the hill, because she didn't want the CCTV caught her taking a taxi to somewhere without Hongbin's permission. She took a breath before a taxi stopped in front of her a few minutes later. She entered the taxi and gave the direction to the driver before she landed her head. It's been a while she's out by herself, realizing that all these times she had been relying on Hongbin.

"ugh" Thinking of him just made her mad.

"Bad day miss?" The driver tried to have a conversation and she gladly accepted it. "You know miss, we don't live long. We have to put aside the bad things and appreciate nice things that happened in our life. Only then we realized, we waste too much regretting on stuff that we can't fix."

She stunned at the driver's words. Every single word hit her so much because it's so spot on to her position now. She smiled "That's very nice sir. But what if we never actually happy with anything and bad things keep on attacking us? What more can we be grateful of?"

The driver glanced at her through the mirror. "I'm sorry that you are facing bad things but you have to be strong. I'm sure if you feel like you have no will to live, other people around you might be struggling to keep on living because you meant a lot to them. Am I right? If it's not, why do we have family, where a father works very hard to give a comfortable life while a mother takes care of her children and is willing to sacrifice everything? Because every living things, live for a reason."

Heeyoung felt her eyes were teary when she listened to him. Maybe he's right. I've given another chance to live, and what I'm doing now is the new purpose of my life. She nodded. The taxi stopped in front of the cafe and the driver smiled at her.

"Be strong and be bold." He made a fist to show some support. She bowed and paid him.

"Thank you sir. It's a mistake that I'm stuck with a wrong person when I can actually be happy with other good people." She sounded so regret. "I wish you have a lot of customers today." She smiled and bowed again before exited the taxi. She entered the cafe and it's weird. No one around except for the staffs when she knew that it's very popular and big. One of the staff bowed at her before she did the same.

"I promised a friend to meet him at the upstairs." The staff nodded and signed her that she can proceed to go upstairs. She ran to the upstairs and frowned, there's no one at all? She turned to her left and froze to see Eunwoo a few steps away from her. He looked skinny and pale. Her heart weakened to see his state, is he really worried about her?

"Heeyoung-ah" He grabbed and hugged her tightly. They were in that position for a few minutes as he didn't want to let her go. "I know what happened to you" He whispered while they were still hugging and she let her tears fell. She nodded and rubbed his back softly. She missed this so damn much. Realizing that she might not get a chance like this anymore made her tighten the hug. "It's hard right? I'm sorry I was too late to realize." He mumbled and buried his head at her neck, smelling her scent.

They let go of the hug and he stroked her hair away from her face and wiped her tears. He noticed her different eyes and frowned. "I rent this cafe. You know how crowd this place is right? You miss the drink?" He tried to joke around and she chuckled. But she didn't have time to waste and joke around.

"Let's sit fi-" She stopped when she saw a woman who was with Eunwoo when he came to the house the other day. Are they dating? Eunwoo noticed that and held Heeyoung's hand to sit in front of Yejin, before he took a sit beside Yejin to face Heeyoung.

"I have a lot of questions Heeyoung-ah" Eunwoo looked at her with concern. She looked completely fine. Heeyoung knew that he's gonna ask about her condition but she tried to hide as long as possible and helped VIXX first because she didn't want him to feel hesitated. She quickly pulled out the notebook and handed it to him. "What is this?" He carefully looked at the plain black cover before he opened a random page.

Cha Hakyeon.

His heart stopped for a second. His eyes froze at the name before he proceed to read the rest under the name. His big family names. What is this? Yejin took a peek and frowned. "What is this Heeyoung-ah? Who's note-"

"VIXX are in that house." She cut him off. His eyes froze at her and his hands were trembling. Too much. Yejin widened her eyes and gasped. She tried to hold her eagerness to ask about Taekwoon but she let Heeyoung to explain.

"What?" Eunwoo can't believe what he heard. It means that they are not missing? They hid in Hongbin's house?

"Its a very very very long story but I don't have much time" Her voice trembled, she sounds rushing. "There's a full story at the back of the notebook and I'm here not to tell you about this story. I need you to help them. Please." She begged at him.

"What Lee Hongbin did to all of you?" Eunwoo frowned even more and looked at random pages again. "What do you want me to do?" He immediately looked at her.

"Find their families." She gulped. "As soon as possible. And please don't take any action towards Hongbin after you read what happened to them. Pleaseee Cha Eunwoo, finding out where their families are, is the most priority than catching Lee Hongbin. I don't want them to feel regret."

"Okay okay calm down." Eunwoo stopped her who sounded so desperate. It made him eager to know what happened to them. "What do you want me to do when I found them?" He can easily tracked people down using the investigators that his family had.

"Tell me right away. If you can gather them at one place nearby, it's much better. We are competing with times. One second late, everything is useless." She took a few sip of her drinks and noticed that Eunwoo and the woman were giving each other a look.

"Are you sure?" Yejin whispered at Eunwoo while fixing the necklace. Heeyoung looked at her moving hand and noticed the necklace.

She accidentally slapped the table and widened her eyes. Yejin startled. "Ha-Han- Han Yejin??" she quickly pulled out the ring and put it at the table. "Your- necklace has the same shape as this ring. Yejin's were widened as she stared at the ring. "Taekwoon oppa dreamed of you every single night. So you're the one.." She sighed in relieved as it's only a misunderstanding that she thought Yejin was in a relationship with Eunwoo.
