I had to stop myself from laughing when I saw that the magazine was upside down.

The idiot.

Checking my watch, I noticed the time.

Only 15 minutes left.

Getting into the house wasn't a problem, it never was.

The problem arose when I realized that it wasn't empty, that we had been given false information.

Sprinting into a random room, I concealed my presence by throwing myself into a closet.

I lifted my hand to my earpiece and whispered into it as silently as I could to let Adelaide in on the situation.

"Do you want me to get you out?" She asked, voice professional and distant.

I mulled over her words for a few short moments before deciding I couldn't pass up this opportunity. 

"I'll wait it out."

Thankfully, she didn't reply or ask any further questions, letting me take full control of the situation.

I had been on my own for years, I knew how to get out of a sticky situation.

Instead of focusing on a new plan, I focused on levelling my heart rate and my breathing. 

There was no point in doing something if you weren't in the right headspace.

Just as my heart rate returned to normal, the door in the room slammed open, various shouts filling the room and causing it to spike again.

"나 이거 하기 싫어!" A young voice shouted at an unknown person.

(Translation: I don't want to do this!)

My body stiffened as realization flooded through me.

I knew that voice al too well.

"당신은 선택의 여지가 없습니다. 당신은 내가 말한대로 할 것입니다," The second voice wasn't shouting, no, he was cold, calculating, almost venomous. 

It was so much like mine.

(Translation: You don't have a choice, you will do what I say or I'll dump you on the streets.)

He was the person I had come here to kill.

"내 동생에게했던 것처럼?" My little brother asked, pain evident in his voice. 

(Translation: "What, just like you did with my sister?")

Did he think I was dead? Did he not know that I was alive, breathing, and desperately holding onto the memory of him smiling, laughing and joking?

I had the urge to break out of my hiding spot and engulf him in a hug that he seemed like he desperately needed.

I fought the urge as a deadly silence settled over the room.

"이 집에서 그 역겨운 뱀을 절대 키우지 않을 것입니다!" My father seethed, his voice dropping low and somehow becoming even more dangerous.

(Translation: You will never bring up that disgusting snake in this household!)

The sound of a slap resonated through the air and my body stiffened.
