Chapter 12
Hakyeon sent one of his icy glares at Ken. Even though it was not the first time he received this glare, but he could not help but to lower his eyes seeing those eyes. It was too scary.
"Hyung, N hyung is acting weird,tell him something." Ravi hid behind Ken.
Ken looked at Ravi once before shutting his eyes tightly.
"Ahh~Ken-ah~~ are they giving you any pain? Inform omma if they do okay? I'll teach em a lesson" Hakyeon said with a sunshine smile on his face.
Yup.... I am right....he can be a great actor.
Leo looked at him with another one of his blank expression.
Ken , with the sudden change in Hakyeon's behavior was taken aback. He just gave him a nervous nod.
"Okay,I'll leave now."
Hakyeon started to walk to the door.
"Make Hongbin your dance partner. He's good looking,he'll get more votes."
Leo still only had suspicion over Hongbin. Well it's not like they are the prime suspects of this case, and he was the officer in charge, so he needs to interrogate them but yet, he was stuck with Hakyeon,there had to be a reason for that. And maybe because the killer was associated with Hakyeon,he was stuck with him. To capture the killer. Well he just decided on that theory, he just couldn't think of anything else. So he had to close the suspicion off now. And to do that he needed to observe Hongbin.
Hakyeon stopped on his track. Letting out a sigh he just opened his mouth.
"Ravi, just tell Hongbinnie, that hyung told him to do a collaboration with him."
"But what about me?" Ravi's voice cracked.
Hakyeon decided not to answer that, starting to walk.
There was a lot of things going around in his head. Of course, unlike Leo he was not sure of Hongbin being related to the murder. But their behavior really was weird. And, he knows he didn't need to care about it but with Leo, he had to clear his misunderstanding now. And it was really necessary at that point. He just couldn't believe Hongbin to be a murderer, over that Leo's murderer.
He let out a sigh of frustration,
Leo figured out Hakyeon was thinking about the pictures and stuffs. They both walked in silence. The sun was setting now. Leo looked up at the sky. The sky looked red,and the clouds had so many different colors in them. It was hard not to get fascinated by it.
"Leo, how did your mother die?" Hakyeon asked,eyes fixed on the road.
"loneliness? If you believe that people can die because of it."
"What do you mean?"
"She died 4 days after my dad died. Because of always crying over him,or sobbing or thinking.... Then one day at night she just woke me up from sleep and made me promise something and then when I woke up in the morning I found her all cold." Leo's eyes wandered around in the sky.
"Did she suicide?" Hakyeon's head was lowered even more and Leo clicked his tongue once. He didn't like that topic.
"Dunno. The doctors never found out the reason."
"I see.... It must have been hard on you."
Leo's steps slowed a little. Taking a glimpse of Hakyeon.
"Honestly...... it wasn't." Leo stopped.
Hakyeon didn't. He kept on taking steps forward.
" Do you remember what he looked like?"
"...... I remember vaguely." Hakyeon stopped. A strong breeze brushed across his body, causing his fringes to sway back.
"Only the back side and his eyes though...." Leo started walking again.
How could I forget...... after all... that one night changed my whole life....
"My whole family got murdered somehow, including me," a smirk slowly appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Amazing,right?" Leo let out a small chuckle as he shouldered past Hakyeon.
Hakyeon stood still for some moment.
"You must really hate your father's killer..." Hakyeon started to walk.
"Not really........ but my mother did. She even made me even promise to her that I will someday find that killer and avenge my father. Funny, right?"
Hakyeon didn't reply. He just kept taking steps. Soon there was another one of those awkward silence between them. The silence continued till they reached their house.
"Do you wish to find him Leo?"
Leo turned to his partner and smiled.
"That's an old story."
Leo lied. He wanted to find his father's killer because of his promise to his mother. But then,what could he actually do now even if he had found him. So it was better not to be bothered by an old story. After all,he had a new story in hand.
" So you only want to catch your killer?"
"No. But that'll answer my question."
Hakyeon gave him a nervous smile before entering the house.
I tried so hard to keep my father's murder a mystery. But now that I am dead..... I guess they released all of my family background on internet...
Leo heaved out a sigh of disbelief.
That guy's killer, my killer.... Why is my life like this? Even now I am to look for another annoying being. Even after death,this life is annoying. Hunting down killers .
"Leo where are you? What shall I make for dinner?"
Hakyeon hollered from the kitchen.
"Do you like omurice? ow! I don't have egg."
his voice flowed from the house to outside. And a slight smile wiggling tried to make it's way up to his lips.
Well not that annoying I guess.
Leo followed the voice, finding Hakyeon looking for stuffs in the cupboards.
"Let's make rose pasta."
"Pasta?" Hakyeon asked.
"But I Dunno how to make it though." Hakyeon tilted his head a little looking at a frying pan that he was holding.
" But I do....." Leo said as he stood behind him. Face lowered to his right ear.
"I will be your skill, eyes and brain. And you just move on my lead." Leo whispered those words in such a husky low tone, it was as if he was trying to seduce Hakyeon. Hakyeon shuddered. And a small titter filled the room.
"You are weird" Hakyeon whined.
"You are just too easy to read."
"Am I now?"Hakyeon snorted.
"Yup.... paper thin."
"Tch" Hakyeon made the face.
"You just dunno me well...."
"You are Cha Hakyeon,age 21 , orphan, wanna be dancer, not a college student, talks about cake a lot,POOR. Who loves Spider Lily and Eunji.. what else to know about you.."
Hakyeon's eyebrows furrowed as he stood there for some seconds then finally whirling around to see the latter's face. He was extremely close, both of them were baffled at how close they were standing. Baffled enough to forget for a moment that their body could never touch and startled Hakyeon just tried to back down a little,stumbling and resting his hand on the edge of the stove. But Leo felt as if he had a heart of his own and it'll explode very soon.
Regaining his balance, Hakyeon folded his hands.
"A LOT! My fav color,food, life,past,family,friends,hobby everything. You dunno anything at all." Hakyeon snorted.
He didn't reply. He just went near the sink.
"First boil the water and put the pasta in. You can do that much,right?"
Hakyeon frowned but did what he was told. It wasn't that hard. Hakyeon really did just followed Leo's instructions and the pasta was ready in no time.
"Wah...it looks okay though!," Hakyeon sounded surprised.
Leo chuckled as he went to lie down on his own bed. Hakyeon also brought a plate containing pasta and sat down on the ground before Leo. Taking the first bite,it was okay.
"You really did become my skills, eyes and brain... it's good." Sending Leo a thumb's up. Leo just shut his eyes.
"Do you believe me now?" Leo said.
"About what?" Hakyeon looked up at Leo.
"Hongbin..."
"Nope."
Leo opened his eyes. Looking at the chewing Hakyeon.
"why? There's not enough evidence?"
"Yes. It's just your assumption."
*But you asked for Hongbin to be your partner." Leo blinked.
"You said audiences would love his face."
......
......
Can I really ask him anything after this?
"So it's only for the competition?"
"Yes, what else?"
"Nothing..."
Hakyeon got up on his feet. Washing the dishes, he bid Leo a good night.
Leo didn't reply. The reason why Hakyeon could not still believe Hongbin was somehow associated with this two murder,he just couldn't understand. Leo didn't know how to make that latter realize it either.
Is he really his son?
That's what he thought. Maybe because of his motherly love, he couldn't trust this truth.
But.... he called Ken Ravi's brother. So he was also his son right?
Leo decided to leave this matter for later. It was better not to think about it anymore.
--------------------------------------
"Why is Ravi crying again?" Hongbin asked Ken, sitting on the ground and patting on Ravi to calm him down.
"Well Hakyeon hyung came and talked to him. He got scared..."
"He got scared of N hyung?" Hongbin was appalled.
"Ya! Ravi! Is he telling the truth? You got scared of N-hyung? Is that possible?"
"HE'S SCARY!" Ravi and Ken both shouted together.
Sitting on the bed, Hyuk let out a cackle. "Wow! You both seem to be really scared of umma....." he smiled mischievously.
"How is he your umma?" Ken asked.
"Hongbin' hyung's umma is my umma." Hyuk giggled.
"You two are really close?"
"Uhm.... enough for Hongbin hyung to even carry my credit card." Hyuk sent him an ear to ear grin.
"They are not that close. Hongbin belongs to me," Ravi retorted wrapping his hands around Hongbin. And Hongbin just chuckled at Ravi's behavior.
"Yes.... I know... he's your artwork! I'm not interested in buying!" Hyuk said, putting his both hands up in the air,in a motion to accept defeat.
"Why did he scare you Ravi?" Hongbin got back on the topic.
"He was interrogating me about the singer Leo and Yeseob's death."
"Why?" confusion was evident in Hongbin's voice.
Hyuk on the other hand narrowed his eyes at the blue haired man.
"Why does a dancer need to ask you about it?" He slowly lowered his hands. The smile on his face disappeared.
"Dunno. He asked me to do a duo with him,but then he started his questioning and at last he asked for Hongbin to dance with him," his words could hardly be understood because of all those sniffles and sobbing.
"That's not normal...." Hongbin gulped.
"Is hyung trying to become a bounty hunter?"
Hyuk eyes shifted to Hongbin,soon Drifting it to Ken.
"Ehh~~ hyung is too busy to do that" Ken said.
"It doesn't matter if he is or not!! How could he think that I am the killer?" Ravi started to cry even louder.
"I'm sure he didn't mean like that..." Hongbin again started to pat on Ravi. Ken let out a sigh.
"I'll leave then." Hyuk said,getting up from the bed, fixing his T-shirt with his hand.
"Even your T-shirt is expensive," Ken murmured.
"It's already late now. My parents will worry." Hyuk winked at them.
"Bye..." Ken waved him a goodbye. Hyuk turned to Hongbin and waited for him to say something but he was too busy in taking care of his friend. Hyuk smiled a little before going out. Standing out of the garage he tucked both of his hands in his pocket. It was cold outside. Leaning his back on the wall, He waited for the car to come out of the garage. The cold night breeze made a shiver ran through his spine and he just took out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket. Taking one in his mouth he lit the head.
It was true that he was still 17 years old and underaged to smoke. But then again,how many 17 year old teenager finishes college at 15 and takes half of the responsibility of one of the largest company of Korea. And without knowing, he somehow started doing it.
Following your father's footsteps...is not always the best thing to do.
Umma.... you really are interesting ...
Hyuk released the smoke,and the car came out, stopping before him. Hyuk dropped the cigarette,as he stomped on it while getting into the car. The sky was dark,and only the street lights were shining. Hyuk took in the view.
"Sir, your father called a few times. So did your sister."...." His personal assistant said in a robotic style.
Hyuk didn't change his position.
"Why?"
"Your father said that they have a meeting on your birthday ,so they can't arrange a birthday party this year and your sister called to ask you what kind of gift would you like?"
A smile slowly broadened on his face after listening the word "his sister". He didn't reply rather he put in his headphones to listen to a song. The night was deepening.
Eunji threw her body on the bed. Today was extra tiring for her. Taking the phone in her hand,she surfed the entertainment news. One article caught her eyes.
"Singer Yang Yeseob and Leo were both murdered by the same murderer!
The shocking deaths of two famous singers in two weeks have shocked everyone. But the most surprising fact is, they were both murdered by the same killer. And police have confirmed that they have enough evidence to prove that the same killer did this. It was revealed that both of the singers received a bouquet of Spider Lily on their last concert. And the police cannot call it a coincidence anymore. They also mention-"
Eunji stopped reading it. It was the same sentences. Eunji put down her phone by her pillow.
Speaking of Spider lily..... I wonder if Ravi's garden has fully bloomed or not...
Eunji closed her eyes and a smile made its way to her lips.
I wonder if he will send me a bouquet as well. He really loves sending those to people.
And with that the sleepy eyes gave up, and slowly she entered her dreamworld.
Thus another day finished for everyone.
only 10 more weeks to go.
========================================================
A?N: okay, sorry.......... who are expecting a lot from this story......... really sorry to disappoint you.... I dunno how to arrange my thoughts properly anymore..... sorry. :(
