Angel Smile

The appointed time has arrived .

Hw.a.n.g 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," Hw.a.n.g 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?"

Hw.a.n.g 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 a.s.sault under his list of crimes . " Se Jin scoffed, "as if it wasn"t already there . "

"Wait," Hw.a.n.g 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," Hw.a.n.g Se Jin nodded understandingly . "If there"s anything you need, just tell me, okay?"

"Thank you," Gun bowed his head politely . Though he appeared to have accepted his help, Gun actually had no intentions of taking up the offer .

"So what will you do now?"

"Wait, I suppose . I can"t tail him since he keeps disappearing . I have no idea where his latest hideout is, either," Gun frowned .

"Then, I"ll keep listening in . You don"t have to worry about the recordings and just settle your life first . "

"Thank you, Se Jin-ssi . "

"Yeah . See you next time," Hw.a.n.g Se Jin waved his hand dismissively . He didn"t think that he did anything that deserved any thanks . They were in a partnership, after all .

After thanking Hw.a.n.g Se Jin for the last time, Gun got up and left the cafe .

Gun walked down the ever-bustling streets with a thoughtful expression . Many thoughts were hanging in his mind . But in the end, he locked them away in the back of his mind . There was no use worrying about them right now .

Before he left, Gun headed towards a certain store .

It was a thrift store .

Since the clothes here were cheap, he frequently came here to buy clothes for himself and Yeo Ri . If he looked hard enough, it was easy to find something pretty that would suit Yeo Ri .

"Welcome~" the shopkeeper amiably greeted .

Gun nodded politely towards the shopkeeper before browsing the aisles .

It was late in the evening and they were about to close up for the day, so Gun did not have much time to choose .

He picked out a nice lilac-coloured one-piece for Yeo Ri that did not seem like it had any flaws and a few articles of winter clothing for them . Since they had left the house in a hurry, they didn"t have many clothes on them .

When he came out of the store, he carried with him two bags full of clothes that had costed him less than 50 dollars .

Gun walked back to Jin Goo"s house . His steps contained a slight sense of antic.i.p.ation as he imagined Yeo Ri"s smile when she receives his present .
