Chapter 10 - CHAPTER -10- THE MAZE

" What? He woke up?"

" Yes, he regained consciousness a week ago.."

" Is it possible for me to meet him, I wanted to ask him some questions."

" I am not sure if he'll be able to talk, but yes, you can come by anytime sir."

" Ok, thank you"

Detective Kim is relieved that prosecutor Jung has regained consciousness, he tells In-ha and Ji-chul that prosecutor Jung regained consciousness and that he will be visiting him for interrogation they ask if they could also tag along, but detective Kim refused because it would be safer for him to go alone since there is someone who is keeping watch on them. In-ha and Ji-chul agree to this and decide to stay back.

*at the hospital*

*knock knock*

*slide*

" Detective, please come in."

Detective Kim bows and greets prosecutor Jung who is bedridden, detective Kim start asking questions, but prosecutor Jung is barely able to speak, detective Kim had a hard time trying to figure out what prosecutor Jung was telling. But when he mentioned a name the look in prosecutor Jung's changed, 'CHAIRMAN SHIN'

All the things happening around In-ha, Ji-chul and Detective Kim were all pointing to one person CHAIRMAN SHIN, Detective Kim decided that he had to do something about chairman Shin before more people lose their lives because of him. He heads to the station and sits on his chair, after thinking for a long time he goes to meet the chief.

" Good evening sir.."

" Good evening, what is it?"

Detective Kim hesitates for a while and then says that he wanted to investigate chairman Shin, the chief flips out as soon as he hears this, He firmly rejects the investigation on chairman Shin.

" Don't you know how many people have died because of him, chief? Are you really going to be like this till the end?"

" Do you have any evidence? If not then get out."

" Evidence? Yes, I do, but I can't show it to you, Why? Because I don't trust you anymore"

" Stop talking nonsense!"

" How could you do this to Hong sunbae, you were a person I looked up to.... was the position of a chief more important than people's lives to you? This was the last chance to redeem yourself... I am going to bring down everyone involved with SQ including you! "

detective Kim walks away feeling disgusted by the chief, he heads over to Ji-chul and In-ha.

" Let's start the live broadcast from tomorrow..." detective Kim said

" Tomorrow?" In-ha and Ji-chul asked

" Why? Is there a problem with starting tomorrow?"

" No-no, I just asked cause it was too sudden.." In-ha said

" But what should we start with?" Ji-chul asked detective Kim

" Let's start with slush funds, we even have evidence regarding that, That will be enough to create an uproar, then we can slowly add fuel to the fire."

" Do you think we will have an audience?" In-ha asks

" We can't tell yet, let's see..." detective Kim says

*whisper* " Umm, can I say something?"

Both In-ha and detective Kim look at Ji-chul.

*whisper* " I feel like someone is there outside"

Detective Kim slowly walks towards the door and opens the door in whish, he sees someone standing there and asks him who he is, but as soon as the person heard detective Kim's sound he ran away, detective Kim starts chasing him but fails to catch him, he returns to Ji-chul's room and says that he will put someone on duty just in case something happens. In-ha also stays at the hospital to keep a look.

" Why are you also staying here? I am not a kid, I know how to take care of myself.."

" If you knew you wouldn't be lying on a hospital bed.."

" Excuse me, I am a taekwondo black belt, I once knocked down ten-"

" Ya whatever, just shut up and go to sleep already."

"Is this how you treat a sick person?"

*intense glare*

" OK FINE, why do you always make me shut up with a glare"

" You are the one who shuts up with one glare, as if I asked you to.."

*speechless* " I am just letting you win cause I am sleepy and don't have time to fight with a kid"

" Who are you calling a kid? We are both the same age."

" No kiddo, I am two years older than you"

" Then why are you in the same class as me? Don't tell me you failed a class two times" *bursts in laughter*

" I was admitted to school a year late and then I had to take a year off because of dad's death"

"Oh, I see"

" Yes."

The atmosphere suddenly becomes quite

" Goodnight!" Ji-chul says with a smile on his face

" Goodnight.."

Ji-chul falls asleep while In-ha stays up the whole night to keep a watch.

*The next morning*

" I have packed everything that was out, Is there anything else to pack?" In-ha asks Ji-chul

" Nop, that's all."

" Then shall we get going?"

In-ha and Ji-chul take a cab to In-ha's house.

" Why are we at your house?" Ji-chul asked

" I thought for a while and came to a conclusion that it is safer for you to stay at my place than stay at your place"

Ji-chul looks confused.

" Don't worry we have an extra room that no one uses, it just needs to be cleaned a bit."

..

..

" Grandma I am home, oh! and I have Ji-chul with me, he will be staying with us for a while"

*bows* " Hi grandma, I am sorry for the trouble"

" Nono don't be, In-ha told me about you, are you ok now?"

" Thank you for your concern, I am fine now, I just have to go to the hospital next week to have my stitches removed."

" What a mannered boy, your parents must be proud... You should learn from him In-ha!" *pats Ji-chul*

" Learn from him? No thanks, I am fine. And you stop pretending to be Mr.well mannered"

" Where are your manners In-ha?"

" Don't worry grandma, I will make sure to teach her" *smiles widely*

" teach me my foot" *tsk*

" You must be hungry, I'll make you something to eat, In-ha clean his room for him, ok?"

" Me? Why me?"

" He is sick, are you going to treat him like this?"

*In-ha regretting having brought Ji-chul home* " I think you should just go back"

*grandma glares*

*laughs* " I think I know where you got that deadly staring habit from"

*annoyed*
