The next day, Seohyun was woken up by consecutive knocks on the door. Clearly, she was not fond of waking up early, who would be given the fact there was a massive pile of work waiting for her and disappointment of humanity included.
"What!?"
She whined, irritated that even in someone else's residence, she has been woken up brutally.
"We have to go ms park, the killer is still loose"
Renjun announced. He was an inpatient man and getting to work early was his main goal these days, no matter how much he hated it, it was his duty.
"10 minutes"
Her response came, making him inhale sharply, he was already behind his schedule and her being lazy was not his plan today.
"If we're living together, then kindly start waking up early"
Renjun hissed
"Excuse me mister, you made me spend a night in custody, I was tired"
She hissed back, it had been a couple of days since she had a good night's sleep, and she wasn't going to let him destroy it that easily.
"Easy tigress as a part of my job I had to check everyone"
He told explaining the fact it wasn't a personal grudge to put her behind bars, and to clear things up he did get her out as well.
"Even if it involves someone you love"
She asked getting out of the room all dressed in formal attire ready to go.
"That would depend if I had someone I loved"
He sighed, moving ahead.
The moment they reached outside the office, she apologized. That man was of sharp tongue and did make you realize how problematic and the unorganized person you are, and seohyun deeply felt that after their conversations lately.
"Sorry"
Her words took him by surprise as she rarely apologized and to add there was nothing for her to be sorry for.
"Huh? For what?"
"The question got too personal…also for causing you inconvenience by staying"
She said, giving him a last look, getting out of the car and hurrying inside the office. She wanted to avoid having any further conversation.
With a weird look, he entered the office, clearly surprised if he had said something wrong to ruin her mood.
"Did you guys fight again?"
Jaemin asked Renjun making him shrug. Jaemin had just witnessed the girl rush past angrily, and Renjun entered with a clueless face.
"No why?"
That man indeed failed to read the mood swings of Seohyun, he was bad at emotions.
"Well, apparently she stormed inside like you do when you are pissed off"
He explained, making Renjun nod and making a self-note to ask what was wrong.
"Moving on, did you receive any information on the admiral?"
He asked walking to his office jaemin following behind
"I sent Jen for that also Chen is running a background check"
Jaemin had already sent his request and put everything into action. To save the future, they had to connect the dots of the past and that's precisely what they were going to do.
The killer obviously was hinting at something, something big that had occurred, which was yet to be discovered by Renjun.
"Great! Where is Hyuck?"
Renjun asked, as his skills were needed in hacking into the old systems and access files they couldn't get without permission.
"Probably flirting with Seohyun"
Jisung snickered and gave a smile, his bad habit of flirting with pretty ladies was very much obvious to everyone.
"Tell him to come to my office"
He gritted his teeth, closing his office door with a thud of anger. Someone was clearly pissed.
As the whole department was silent only the noise of the coffee machine and Seohyun's typing could be heard,
A screech was heard in the office making everyone alert, Renjun quickly grabbed his gun quietly sneaking his way through and opening the door.
Chen was breathing heavily, leaning against the desk.
"Chen what the fuck happened, are you ok?" Renjun asked concerned
"bad news cap" he exhaled short on his breath, every damn time he comes panting he has bad news.
"The admiral is on the loose"
As the words left his mouth, the entire department cursed. He did it again, escaping every damn time.
"Goddamn it"
Renjun cursed in anger.
"Is everything ok?" Seohyun asked just as she entered upon hearing Renjun curse loudly. Jaemin and Hyuck followed the noise, leading eventually everyone to the main lounge area.
"Yeah, your father is out again, probably used his sources that damn mother-
Renjun's words were left incomplete as they were cut off by another harsh one
"Talking about me, I see"
The deep voice of the admiral made Renjun stop and glare at the older male. He was not welcomed here, not in his office, he wasn't.
"Leave"
Renjun said, making him chuckle. His eyes Tauntingly looking at the man who was pissed and infuriated.
"Sure, but before that, I'll take my daughter with me"
He announced, taking light steps towards seohyun. She loathed him, and Renjun knew that. Just as he was taking a bold step towards the girl, Renjun stood in front of her, securing her.
"You're not taking her anywhere"
Renjun's voice was deep and threatening. Seohyun who was a bit uneasy hid behind the man, not wanting to face a disappointment of a father.
"That's MY DAUGHTER, I'll take her anywhere I want, Seohyun… we're going"
He said with a stern voice, making her flinch a bit. She hated when someone raised their voice at her. Call it a past trauma or childhood memory, she hated it, it triggered her bad times.
As he went to grab her arm, Renjun stood in front of Seohyun taking hold of his hand, looking at him with a smirk.
"Looks like you're forgetting what I said 6 years ago, aren't you?"
