Honey

Chapter 8

Strolling through the solitary streets, to the outskirts of the city, finally my destination could be seen.

I had come to meet dad today, to discuss about my current mission.

Here, I'm standing in front of a small cottage like house, surrounded by nature, which looks completely normal from outside, but hides a lot of secrets in it.

I unlocked the door and went in. The house was tidy as usual, just how dad likes it.

I went towards the master bedroom, and switched on the lights of the room. The walls of the room are painted in a greyish shade, not too dull, and the rest of the room is also furnished with decor of different shades of black.

And just in front of me, there are beautiful paintings on the wall.

But these paintings hold a huge secret behind them.

I moved further towards the wall, and reached out to the paintings, and held onto the painting in the centre, and tilted it towards the right, so that it's corner comes in contact with the corner of painting in the right.

As it did, a metallic unlocking sound was heard, and I moved a little back, and pushed the wall, which revealed the passageway behind it.

I entered in the other side, and closed back the wall. On the other side was a helm like structure on the wall. I twisted it, and the metallic sound came again, indicating locking of the door.

The passageway was an 80 feet long tunnel, with a door at the end of it.
The tunnel was dimly lit with blue lights.
I started walking towards the end, slightly excited as I was meeting him after long.

As I reached the end, I typed the passcode for the door to open on the keypad.
My dad being a mathematics freak, the passcode changes regularly, as per the permutations.

The door opened, and I went in.

There I saw Tzuyu on the couch, chilling with her phone.

"Hey Tzu. How are you doing?"

"Hi Anna, I'm good. What about you?? You came here after some time."

"Yeah, just didn't get time. Well, I'll get going, I have to meet dad. Bye."

"Bye sweetie."

After talking to her, I went to his room.
As I was standing in front of the door of his room, I could hear voices from inside, as if he's talking on phone.

"Yes boss. I know. Yeah, fine, I'll inform her as soon as I can. Don't worry. Yeah-"
He stopped talking as soon as he saw me, and I was hella confused.

Why is he calling someone else boss?

"I'll talk to you later, she's here."

With that, he cut the call.

"Hi princess. I didn't notice that you've come. Come in."

"Who were you talking to dad?" I said, as I entered the room.

"No one special dear."

"Dad you were calling that person 'Boss'. Who was it?"

"Baby it was ........."
"Tell me the truth dad, or else you know what I do if you hide something from me."

"Okay darling. Come sit."

Both of us went and sat on the couch.
And I looked at him, anticipating an answer.

"So no one knows anything about it, but the gang that we run, and all of them consider me the head of it, it's not true. I'm not the real head, I'm not the real Gangster King."

I was shocked to the core to hear that.
Dad's not the head, then who's it?
Who are we working for?

"Then who's it dad?"
"No one knows baby. Even I don't know. It's just that the person gives orders to us, and we just carry out those orders. That's it. We all, even I'm a puppet, and I don't know who's that person, and I'm not the real Gangster King as well. I know you might be shocked, but this is the truth dear. And also, you don't tell this to anyone. Everyone has to be in an impression that I'm only Gangster King. Okay?"

"Yes dad, I'll keep your secret a secret. Don't worry."

"I trust you Anna. By the way, you're here after so long. Don't have time for dad?" He said smiling.
And his remark made me smile too.

" No dad. Actually I was too caught up with that job, so just didn't get time. Today, Mrs. Kim relieved me early, saying she had to go somewhere, so I came here to meet you."

"Yeah. Well you did good when you informed Yoongi. He's staying at his place only these days."

"Good for him. And dad, I wanted to ask you about the mission further?"

"What do you wanna ask?"

"Dad actually this Taehyung, most of the time I can't keep a watch on him. So I have no idea what he's doing. That time too by chance I came to know that he's about to get Yoongi, just because the picture fell from his pocket. We have to find a way dad, by which I'll be able to know everything that he's doing, his every single move."

"Yeah, you're right. For now you rest, we'll do the research later. You've grown thinner Anna. Are you now eating properly?"

"I am dad. You always say this to me."
I said smiling and he just sighed.

"Well dad, now i should get going. It's getting late. And I have to reach within time."

"Yes baby, go safely. Love you princess." He said kissing my forehead softly.

"Love you too dad. Bye."

"Bye."

With our goodbyes, I left from there.
Back into the tunnel, and to the house. I closed the door, and moved out to go to my rented apartment, thinking about ways to keep an eye on Taehyung.

A/n-
Hi guys, I'm back.
Many of you might be thinking that the author's dead.
Lol.
So here's a chapter for you all.
It's a bit short chapter, I know.
Please cope up with that.
Well, everyone stay safe, stay healthy, stay fit.
Please stay at your homes, move out only if required.
And if you're going out, please wear mask (double if needed), keep sanitizing yourselves, and stay happy.

Love
