Chapter 92 - You will even get a VVIP treatment in hell (1/2)
”Who are you?” My brother asks him.
”My name is Thomas Park. I am from the timekeeper organization.” The man is in his late-40s. His dark hair is gelled back. If it was the past me, I would have been scared the way my parents were. But, I am no longer the same. I have met these timekeepers quite times.
My brother tries to slam the door on his face, but Thomas Park blocks it with his foot. He speaks to my brother politely, ”I need to discuss something with Miss Kwon.”
I realize that my father has a small gun in his hand, ready to attack. My mother is holding a metal bat. They stand in front of me to shield me from Thomas Park's eyes.
My family will do anything to keep me safe. If I had told them the truth, how would they have reacted? They would have gone to any length to save me from the timekeeper. The timekeeper's organization would have wiped them out completely.
”You can't take my sister away.” My brother fists his hand, ready to attack him if he takes one step inside the house. ”Didn't our family suffer enough because of you timekeepers? She lived a life worse than death for more than a thousand years. You dare to show your face at our house. Leave or I will kill you. I will tell the world about the timekeepers and what you people do.”
Thomas Park is not affected by his threats. He is quite professional and cool-headed. I give him that.
”Let him come inside.” I walk past my parents and put my hand on his forearm. ”Brother, don't worry. He is here to talk.”
”But...” My brother looks at Thomas Park suspiciously.
”Right, Thomas Park?” I ask the man. God knows how many dangerous chemicals he has inside his pockets. I haven't forgotten why my body turned into the time prison in the first place.
”I promise that I mean you no harm if you cooperate with me.” He pulls his foot back away from the door frame. ”I only want to discuss your future with you.”
”Okay.” I wave him to come inside. ”I will do my best to cooperate.”
”Kyuri!” My brother stares at me. ”Don't cooperate with them.”
”It will be fine. Trust me.” I hope that. ”I am sure that they won't do anything crazy.” Yet.
”Thank you for your faith in us, Miss Kwon.”
