81 Checking in With the Accomplice (1/2)

The appointed time has arrived.

Hwang Se Jin sat in the cafe across his bar, waiting for a certain young boy. Since he had some free time prior to the meeting, he had arrived early.

The sound of the tinkling bells could be heard as the entrance door opened.

”Welcome,” greeted the waitress.

Gun waved the woman off politely. He was not expecting to stay for very long so he didn't bother ordering anything.

”Oh, you're here,” Hwang Se Jin flashed him a quick smile as he took a seat.

”How have you been, Se Jin-ssi?” Gun asked perfunctorily.

”I've been good. So, why did you want to meet up?”

”Se Jin-ssi, have you been listening to the bug?”

Hwang Se Jin straightened his posture. ”Yeah, I have. There's not much I can hear though. Just some screaming and shouting about how he's going to kill you three when he gets his hands on you,” Se Jin says, grimacing. ”That's right, where did you even put the thing?”

”I see,” Gun replied. ”I hid it in his room. It was impossible to put the bug on him without being noticed, so...” Gun shrugged.

”Well, at least now we can add assault under his list of crimes.” Se Jin scoffed, ”as if it wasn't already there.”

”Wait,” Hwang Se Jin studied the boy in front of him suspiciously. ”Are you asking me that because you haven't been keeping track of the recordings?”

Gun shook his head helplessly, ”I haven't had the chance to. The last few days have been too hectic. We moved out of that house and we're in the middle of searching for somewhere to rent for the time being.”

”What? Why?”

”You know why,” Gun sighed tiredly. ”And Yeo Ri looked like she would break if she spent another second in that house.”

”Of course,” Hwang Se Jin nodded understandingly. ”If there's anything you need, just tell me, okay?”
