Chapter 16

“You don’t get anything do you? We will go to jail if anyone finds out”

“But we cant just leave her here”

“Come on get inside the car, I see another car, someone is coming and he’s passed out. He will never know the truth anyways and we will never tell him either”

××××××××

Mingi was just doing his work with all the worries and anxiety building inside him. He hated his job and the fact that Hongjoong was promoted and not him, he felt like they both are hard working just the same way and he deserves to be promoted too but nevertheless, he still did his job without complaints.

Another fax to the office caught his attention and tiredly walk towards it. His job was tough having to be on duty all night while everyone else was sleeping.

A fake copy of car licence number

The last time he had received a stolen car report and this time too, the year of the record was same. His breathing becomes faster when he turn the page.

You’ll pay like everyone else for lying

He dropped the paper and turn from left to right like someone was watching over him and ready to attack him. He didn’t know what he did wrong but he didn’t like getting a thread, especially a death thread.

After checking out the window bars and every corner of the room, he sigh in relieve and laugh at himself.

‘What am I afraid of? I did nothing wrong’

So he picked up the paper again and put it on one of the files incase he needed it when he can sue whoever was threatening him.

He furrow his eyebrows and think about how and why he is receiving strange things out of nowhere. Everything was silent since it was midnight and it kinds of creep him out for receiving a threat at such a time.

A loud message to his phone had him shook and he jump before calming himself that it was just from his friend.

Wooyoung

Bro, is there anything wrong?

12:43 am

He tilted his head in confusion and look from left to right again like his friend knows it.

Mingi

No!
What? Is something wrong?

12:44 am

Wooyoung

No!
I mean, something kinda strange happened to me so I just wanted to check up on you

12:46 am

Mingi watch the message in confusion until a light bub hit his head.

Mingi

Don’t tell me you’re getting a threat too

12:50 am

And the messages from the other side became silent.

The three teammates hang out at a cafe and make jokes here and there. Yunho being the funny goofball he was, made Semi laugh till her stomach hurt as she clung onto it like her life depends on it.

"So, I stepped on the dog poop and blamed my brother who was ashame of the wrong accusation and ran out. I didn't realized his crush was there and although it was so funny to see his reaction, I feel bad that his crush had to witness that"

"Oh my god Yunho, you're so bad. You literally ended a relationship!", Semi exclaim and was ready to throw a punch in Yunho's arms.

"FYI, I said crush. Not a relationship. That poop himself never had the courage to confess to her"

Yeosang facepalm and leave to take their orders from the counter and came back with a drinks and deserts.

"Who do you think would ever ask a girl out again after getting framed like that?"

Semi finally throw a punch in his arm and took the drink Yeosang gave her, signalling him a quick 'thank you' and continue on listening to Yunho's bizarre stories.

Not realizing someone was watching every movement of her from outside the cafe's glass windows.
