Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 153: Long Time No See

Taehyung is leaning against the wall with a gun in his hand as he pants.

He can feel the cold metal against his palm. From his memory, this is the first time he is holding a gun toward another person.

He waits calmly.

Just now, after splitting up with Lalisa and the others, Hoseok was feeling a lot of pain from his leg and could only stay there to rest. After he and Changwoo rescued two others, probably because he looked skinny and like a gentleman, the other three immediately turned against him and surrounded him.

He didn't fire any shots; it wouldn't have helped. There are many ways for a forensic investigator to kill someone. Furthermore, he has great reflexes.

He hit one of them directly in the throat and caused him to lose consciousness. The other two were stunned and didn't dare to move closer. He didn't stay long; he turned around and left.

Lalisa.

As the clock ticks away, he repeats this name in his heart like it's a curse. Because of pain, love, and uncertainty. His heart is becoming calmer and calmer like a pond of still water. Only the image of her is reflected clearly.

He wants to find her. He wants to protect her. He wants to stand beside her. Even if there's already somebody else guarding beside her now.

Taehyung tilts his head back slightly. The cold and damp wall touches the back of his neck.

He closes his eyes and hears footsteps coming from behind the wall.

There are hesitation and doubt: it's one of the two.

They just won't let go of him. This annoys him. He's not familiar with this underground place nonetheless, but they know it by heart.

Furthermore, he has been searching for her so it's easy for them to catch up to him.

They're near.

He's going to get rid of them. He sees one leg stepping out of the wall. Taehyung turns around quickly like a shadow, raises the gun and places it on the other person's forehead.

It's Changwoo. He's holding a knife, which he found somewhere, in his hands. It may have been given to him by the seven-member organization. Changwoo is stunned from seeing Taehyung with a gun. It's because Taehyung never pulled it out before. If he knew Taehyung had a gun, he would have never come chasing after him.

"Clink" the knife in Chamgwoo's hand drops to the ground. He immediately begs, "Officer, I'm wrong! I'm wrong! I was just confused. It was the criminal who said if I didn't kill you guys, I would be killed.....please forgive me! Officer, I really don't dare to anymore! I admit my wrongdoing!"

Taehyung looks at him quietly. His handsome face is expressionless, Changwoo can only sense his eyes growing gloomier. It makes one feel fright.

"I'm not an officer," he says suddenly.

Changwoo can't understand why he needs to emphasize this, but his voice is gentle and easy on the ears, so he relaxes a bit. He believes that as long as he admits his fault, Taehyung probably won't do anything to him. The police can't just kill him, right?.....

"Bang."

A loud and crisp sound is heard from a nearby source.

Changwoo opens his eyes wide in disbelief. He watches Taehyung lowering his gun slowly.

Changwoo falls to the ground; he's dead from one shot.

Taehyung stares at his body for a few seconds and then raises his head as if he notices something. It's the other person Ye Junghwan, the CEO of the corporation. He's standing ten or so meters away in the corridor and looking at him full of fright. The moment his eyes meet with Taehyung's, he turns and runs away.
