As he got closer to the person standing by the car, each steps felt heavier than before. He was sure this wasn't Jae Won but for some reason, he was nervous.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha…." was heard coming from the man with his back facing Vincent making Vincent startled. He almost fell to the ground as this grasp the attention of the man making him turned slowly.
With his surprise to see his boss scared out of his life, he smiled softly as he walked closer to Vincent. "Mr Vincent, are you alright?" asked the driver in Korean which he didn't bother to respond.
He turned around to see if he could at least catch a glimpse of this person who had Jae Won's phone, is it Jae Won himself or someone else.
If it was Jae Won, then why was he ignoring him while he read their text. Has he done something bad to be ignored by the one person who made his world changed drastically.
With all that thought he managed to control himself from crying like a widower as he turned to the driver who still hasn't understood what was going on.
He sent his gaze to the translator but the look on both the translator and Akwasi clearly showed they had no idea.
Vincent breathe in and out before he asked, "did you see anyone running by?" but the driver stood there like a statue even though he knew he was being asked a question.
He turned to Min Ji which she translated it to Korean. "Aaah, I heard someone run by but I was watching a video so I didn't turn but I heard him cried out as though he hurt himself. That's when I turned only to see his back." said the driver who goes by the name Min Ho.
Vincent run his hand through his hair before he bend down trying to relax. He might die out of frustration if he doesn't get away from this place.
"I saw he hit his leg on this" said Min Ho walking closer to one of the concrete pillars that was supporting the structures.
Since Vincent already understood, he didn't care if Min Ji would have translated if she was given the time because Vincent just walked towards his hired car waiting to be drive home.
Min ho didn't waste time as he quickly sat in the SUV to do his job. The drive back was quite as a cemetery even Akwasi didn't know how to break the silence so he also became quiet.
Thirty Minutes earlier
The man with Jae Won's phone was seen entering the the company through the underground parking area. He made sure no one saw him as he entered the elevator to the fifteenth floor.
He stood in front of the office written CEO as he gently knocked on the door. As he heard a voice telling him to come in, he entered while his cap covered part of his face.
"Who is here? Is the death himself which apparently didn't do as his name says" said a man in his late twenties while looking through some documents.
The man raised his head for his gaze to meet death who has lowered his head. With a smile which definitely didn't reach his eyes he looked up to the man called death, "do you still need to hide your face when it comes to me?"
Death raised his head for his gaze to meet the man sitting in the chair with the name plate on his desk written CEO.
"I told you to kill him five years ago but what was the results, not only did you not kill him, you managed to let him still my position."
While he kept on talking, death was quiet listening to him even though his mind was somewhere else. He has heard this sentence each and every time they meet that he knows what he will say next.
"And I keep saying this that I was interrupted and if I hadn't taken my chances I would have been in jail by now. Since the police couldn't find a single evidence to lead to the culprit. This means I'm good at my job and I would much appreciate it if you don't keep reminding me of one and only failed job" said death.
"So why did you call me here? Do you want your cover to be blown or do you want me to get notice one day?"
"I want you to kill him this time….kill Jae Won and make sure you finish the job this time" said Cha Jae Hyun, Jae Won's cousin and his best friend apparently.
"Make sure no one interrupts you so I can get… we can get what was rightfully ours to begin with instead of this illegitimate child my grandfather."
As Jae Hyun said this, he clench his fist tightly till his knuckles turned white as he was fuming with anger. He couldn't believe his father was so weak that the chairman position had to go the illegitimate child of their family.
"I will do my best" said death as he turned to walk away but his steps paused because Jae Hyun asked a question.
"Are you sure you didn't see Jae Won's phone, laptop and camera that he brought from that that… what's the name again never mind that place?"
"No sir, I didn't see anything like that. I guess someone beat us to it" said death with his back facing Jae Hyun. After he had answered he wanted to get out of there before he asked a question again.
But who was he kidding? He didn't even take two steps when Jae Hyun said "how he got there was a mystery. The person I hired at that time said, he managed to escape so how did he got to that place?"
"I have no idea" said death as he continued " I will take my leave now before I get caught." As he said this his mind flashed back to the moment Jae Won was lying in the pool of blood with his hand clenched tightly to his phone as though he his life depended on it.
It made him curious as to what was on the phone making him hold on to like that even though he was about to lose his life.
Five years ago
Jae Won was coming back from campus one evening while chatting with Vincent obviously. He wanted to come pick a few things back to his dorm. Yes dormitory. He insisted he wanted to stay on campus so he could feel like a student.
He decided to sleep over at home so he will come to campus the next day. Jae Won was smiling looking at the text Vincent has sent him which read,
"Baby, my one and only life giver. I miss you so much" as Jae Won was reading this, his smile brightened the place like it was morning.
As he smiled, his focus was on his phone that he didn't notice a truck coming his way. The only time he realized was when the truck was an inch closer to him but it was too late.
Pang!!!!!!
Jae Won lay on the pavement of the road lying in his blood like a swimming pool. He held his phone so tightly as though it could save his life, he regretted he couldn't reply him before he lose his life.
Tears run down his cheek while clenching his phone on the ground. This aroused deaths attention. He got so curious that he came out of the truck and walked towards Jae Won.
With curiosity, he managed to take Jae Won's phone and his bag. With the help of Jae Won face, he was able to unlocked the cracked phone and went through Jae Won's chat with Vincent.
For some reason, the more he read the text, the more his heart pounded against his chest. After he saw pictures of Vincent that he has sent to Jae Won, his mind went into a chaotic mess.
Suddenly , strange warmth was blooming in his chest which made him to do the unthinkable by keeping his phone, laptop and camera.
He was about to enter the truck when he heard a voice coming from his back, "hello, there's been an accident on xxx street." This made Death run as fast as he can before the police got there.
Stranger, "...…"
The police came and the ambulance came and did their job which actually helped Jae Won to stay alive but due to the accident, he has lost part of his memory which included the one year he spent with Vincent's family.
Present Day
Death walked out of the office quickly before he was stop again. As he entered the elevator someone quickly shouted to hold the elevator but he didn't since he was an uninvited guest.
The person managed to hold the elevator by sliding his arm in. He now brought his whole self in only for Death to freeze.
This person was none other than Jae Won. His love rival.
