Chapter 8

Track No04 – Negotiation (1)

The fact that rockwas my only comfort in that momentIn a situation like this, it wason the bed with her legs folded to her chest, gestured towards the chair with her chinWhen I obeyed her command and sat doere forced to look at each other face to face, as if this was the true beginning of the conversation

“I already o back hoin withIf you’re trying to nitpick every trivial thing, just shut up and listen”

How could she say that?

I shuddered at her sharp wordsIt seeh I had meant what I said

“That’s why I broke your phone back thenAll of the students in our class will probably have their locations trackedI left my phone at home, tooDidn’t the school contact you?”

She wasscoffed

“It’s too obviousIf they immediately contact the mass media, there would be an uproar and my reputation would crash, or at least fallThat’s why they’ll try to find me secretlyThey won’t be able to find any clues at school, so only innocent people would suffer”

I wished that she would acknowledge the fact that I was also one of those innocent peopleHowever, there was so that I wanted to ask first

“So, why did you bringstared at er

“First of all, you saw me”

“Because you ran away”

“That was because I was caught off guardAnyone would have done that in that situationWhy the heck was it 13,000 won anyway? That price is so random!”

“Don’t lash out at meI only sold it at the listed price”

“It was fortunate that you followed meIf you hadn’t, I would have needed to wait to ambush you in this weatherAfter all, it’s true that you sawwords with indifferenceIn any case, it meant that I would have ended up here no matter what

“At the moment, there should only be a few people who know that I’ve run awayI mentioned this before, but I can’t walk around openly because there are a lot of searching eyes aroundIn the end…”

“Then what am I supposed to do?”

The ive me the answer I wanted, so I cut her off and asked another questionHowever, Ki obvious

“What do you mean ‘what’? You have to stay here until it’s over”

“Until what’s over?”

“My getaway”

I was stupefiedI could understand that she had to bringth of her who-kno-long getaas a different story

I raisedYou’re actually going to have to stay here for a while”

Kie at allChills ran downto tell o because you won’t tell anyone, can you? Think about it carefullyYou’re the hostage hereIf you still want to find out ill happen if you leave, you can do so”

I didn’t want to know

I didn’t like it, but it was a fact that Ki that I could do right now

Regardless ofconfidently lifted a second finger

“What’s important is the second reasonTo be honest, the first wasyou here”

“…And what is that?”

“You can help htIn order for you to help ht?”

She said that in a deliberate tone, as if she was doing me a favour, but I wasn’t happy at all

“I never told you that I’d help”

“Then help”

Ki seemed to have already realized that I couldn’t talk back to her if she h-handed attitudedamn itThis was clearly blackmailThe probleive a perforer inside, I was du’s reasonIf I remembered clearly, she had announced an indefinite hiatus in early NovemberIt didn’t make any sense

“You’re the one who stepped down, and now you’re saying that you want to perform?”

“The entire reason I stepped doas for thisI want to perform in a rock band”

“Why?”

“I can’t tell you all of the reasons right nowI will tell you everything somedayFor now, just know that my Dad hates rock”

It seemed to be about her reputation, like she had mentioned earlierOne of the few restrictions she had on herI shook my head

“It’s i to perfor your identity right now, but if you perform with somebody, you will have no choice but to reveal yourselfDid you plan to walk around wrapped in God knowith such a suspicious person”

I thought thatwas confidently s came to mind

“That’s why I told you that you can help me”

“I don’t kno to play any instruments, and a performance is out of the question”

Even while I was refuting her, so on perforhed, as if she had read my confusion

“Don’t worryI won’tlike that”

“What is it, then?”

“Let et your part-time job at the concert today?”

How, she askedThe performer herself had lured me in with 5,000 won per hour

“Fro responded tomy shi+nIt wasn’t like she kicked it hard, and I admit that it was my fault, but I hadn’t expected her to kickan animal

However, I had no choice but to be shocked at Ki’s follow-up comment
