Call Of Death : The Secrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 68 : Like A Shadow

Red was sitting on the wooden chair, holding a can of beer in his right hand while the other was holding a knife. He's knuckles are turning white because of how tight he was holding the things in his hands. His clutching his jaws and gritting his teeth. He watched Detective Lee passed out at that moment because of what he did. He kept replaying the video but he could never get satisfied. He spent a lot of time in creating a perfect plan but he couldn't understand why he felt dissatisfied. He was feeling annoyed because he has a chance to kill him but he couldn't do it. He had a chance to get his revenge but he couldn't even take one step towards him.

"Damn it, Red! You're an idiot!" He cursed himself, gulping on the beer.

"Hyeol, do you know how dangerous that move was? What if you didn't get to leave on time, huh? Why are you always risking your everything for this? You could have just asked me to do it." Ju Jin Su said as he walked inside the room where Red was sitting.

"Tone down, somebody might hear you." Red said without moving.

Ju Jin Su sighed. "If you wanted to kill him, why don't you just used a sniper and shot him on the head?" He sounded a bit sarcastic.

"That's what I wanted to do, Jin Su. That's what I'm supposed to do. Kill him because he's the reason why I have to live like this but you know what annoyed me the most?" The can of beer in his hand exploded due to how tightly he was gripping on it. Red looked at Ju Jin Su with a serious and angry face. "It's the fact that he was and still is the only person who can make me both weak and strong. I wanted to hurt him so bad but I couldn't even bear to take one step closer even if he was already unconsciously lying on the ground! Even if I was there when he fainted, even if I was holding a knife, will I be able to kill him? I hate myself because when I saw him lose consciousness, no matter how much I deny it, I felt worried." Red exclaimed and threw the can on the floor.

"Hyeol..."

"I planned everything almost all my life, Jin Su. Every night before I fall asleep I kept telling myself that I will avenge myself and my brother." A drop of tear fell from his eyes.

Ju Jin Su sighed and walked towards him, he sat down beside Red and patted his shoulder. "Then just give it up, Yuhyeol. Just stop because this ain't doing you any good, at all. You can just let go of the past and live for the present, can't you? I will stay with you." He said in the most consoling tone he could utter.

"Stop? Give it up? Live for the present? Do you think I'll work this hard just to give up everything and stop? We've been this far, Jin Su-ya, I can't just give up now. I will give Lee Han Se what he deserved." Red said trying to sound determined yet he knows for himself that he wasn't determined enough.

Ju Jin Su shook his head and opened a can of beer before gulping it in one shot. He sighed deeply and leaned his back on the chair. He wanted to support Red in everything he will do but if it'll make him the monster he fears, he doesn't know anymore.

"You know what, I'm not sure anymore, Hyeol. Are you sure you won't regret doing this revenge someday? Are you sure you're not letting your anger eat your whole personality? Will you not regret anything?" Ju Jin Su asked.

Red looked at him seriously. "Jin Su-ya, you know what I regretted the most? It's the choice that I made that day. It's the choice of letting my most prescious person to sacrifice our lives for someone who wouldn't even look at us." His undetermined eyes earlier were now filled with anger.

"Hyeol, aren't you just being blinded by your vengeance? I'm just worried that you're going to far." Jin Su's intention was to enlighten Red but he didn't take it that way, for Red feels like the only person he trusted was also thinking of leaving him behind.
