Handshake

Chapter 50

Nag report si Mr. Go kay Jongin tungkol sa pag-uusap nila ni Sehun. Sinabi niya na medyo nakakahalata na ito. He also mentioned Sehun asking him about the Japanese Company where he invested money.

"Lets keep it low this time. I don't want you to get in trouble."

Nang magpaalam si Mr. Go, nakatanggap naman si Jongin ng tawag mula sa private investigator. He hired someone just to keep an eye on Officer Seo. Through the phone, the man said that a CCTV footage around Krystal was found after the accident has been found and Sehun have seen it already.

Hanggang doon lang ang nalaman niya. The man said the he'll keep updated, that he'll call right away when heard something again. Dahil doon, sumakit kaagad ang ulo ni Jongin. After he ended the call, tinawagan naman niya si Taemin at Hani.

Nagkita-kita silang tatlo para pag-usapan ang tungkol doon.

"Can you still remember who are the people around us that night?"

"Are you stupid?" Hani scoffed. Her eyes are glaring at Taemin. "Do you think I can remember everyone from that party?" Napakamot nalang ng ulo si Taemin. Honestly, he couldn't think cleary. He took a deep breath and remind himself that it was only an accident. "Can you stop being so paranoid? You're acting as if we killed her. It was an accident remember?"

"But we left her. And that was your idea."

"Wow.." Hani stood up, placing both her hands on her waist. "And now you're blaming me? Yeah, it was my idea but still, it was your decision to let her die."

"Sa tingin ko, wala na din naman tayong magagawa. Sooner, malalaman na si Sehun kung sino ang nagligtas kay Krystal..."

"At dapat natin siyang unahan.." sabat ni Jongin. "We need to talk to that person first before Sehun does."

"For what reason?" Mataray na tanong ni Hani. "Bakit ba hindi nalang naten sabihin kay Sehun ang totoo? What we did is not a crime. He just wanted to know the truth."

Biglang ibinato ni Jongin ang bote na kanina ay hawak-hawak lamang niya. Nagulat si Hani at maging si Taemin ay napaayos ng tayo. Jongin wasn't drunk but his eyes are burning while looking at Hani. He stood up and grab her arms.

Kaagad naman na lumapit si Taemin para pigilan sa Jongin sa pwede pang gawin nito. Jongin removed his hands from Hani. He turned around brush his hair off with his hands. Muli niyang binalikan ng tingin ang dalawang kaibigan. "We might not go in jail but Sehun... he'll use it againts me." He's trying to be calm. "You know how he wanted to remove me from the company, and with that he can do it. He'll remove me from the board. I will lost my share in that company. I will lost everything."

"Sa tingin mo ba hindi din ako nag-aalala?" walang pagbabago sa tono ng boses ni Hani kahit pa muntikan na siyang masaktan ni Jongin.

"Hani.." pagsuway sa kanya ni Taemin.

But she didn't listen. She never did. "I'm also worried for my career. It's the only thing I have. Taemin's dad will surely be disappointed on him. I just want this to end. Lets not pour more fuel in the fire."

Jongin just shook his head. This time, he's not going to listen to anyone but only to himself. He will do his way. Kaylangan niyang malaman kung sino ang lalaking tumulong kay Krystal. Kaylangan niya itong kausapin bago pa siya mahanap ni Sehun.The only thing he heard before shutting the door was Taemin calling his name.

"He's crazy..." Hani started cleaning the mess that Jongin did.

"He's right.." Taemin answered while helping her. "You can't blame him, can you? He'll use it againts him, sana nga lang kapag nangyari yun hindi na malaman pa ni Sehun na si Jongin ang nasa likod ng nangyari kay Mr. Oh, pati na din ang bagong pinasok niyang business."
