Prelusive Move
The KimsThe Day of the Shareholders' Conference:
[Jinhwan's POV]
"Are you ready?" I ask.
Jinwoo-hyung tries to smile but it comes out forced. He suddenly sighs while trying to fix his neck tie.
"Here, let me help." Jennie smiles and takes over.
"Thanks." Jinwoo-hyung smiles. "Jisoo will be coming home today, yes?"
We all nod.
"Don't worry, i'll take care of the discharged papers." I tell him.
"That would be great." He says. "If you need anything else, ask for Doctor Lee Sungkyung. She's a friend of mine."
I nod. Jinwoo-hyung then turns to look at our other siblings who are just standing awkwardly around him. He raises his eyebrow and smiles playfully.
"What are you still doing here?" Jinwoo-hyung asks. "Don't you have school?"
"We have, after we send you on your way." Hanbin says, crossing his arms.
I laugh and they all look at me. I clear my throat. "Hanbin-ah, you sound like you're kicking our brother out."
"Wha--" Hanbin gapes. "I'm not-- i'm not trying to send our--"
"Alright, alright. We get it, now shut up." Bobby then turns to face Jinwoo-hyung. "Break a leg, hyung."
Jinwoo-hyung frowns then turns to glare at me. "You told them?"
"He didn't have to." Donghyuk says, looking down on his feet. "We can always tell when you're in trouble."
"Really? My bad." Jinwoo-hyung smiles sheepishly. "I guess i'm not really good in hiding my own feelings but you don't have worry about it. I'll take care of everything."
We all nod, not quite sure whether to trust our brother. Jinwoo-hyung has always been soft. He's gentle and too kind that we sometimes worry about him getting taken advantage by the people around him.
"Well then, i'm off now." Jinwoo-hyung waves. "Wish me luck."
As soon as Jinwoo-hyung left, i quickly turn to face Bobby. "Is everything ready?"
Bobby pulls something inside his backpack and hands it to me. It's a brown envelope. "All printed and stashed in here."
"Good." I turn to the rest. "You already know the plan. Bobby will have to fetch Jisoo from the hospital later in my place since i have to report this to the police."
"And what about us?" Donghyuk asks. "What would you like us to do?"
"Nothing." I answer. "You have school, remember?"
Hanbin and Donghyuk groan. Then, i turn my undivided attention back to Bobby. "Hold the fort for me while i'm gone."
Bobby nods. "Don't worry, hyung."
I nod one last time before leaving the house. As i make my way towards my car, i can already see my bodyguard, TOP waiting nearby.
"Good morning young master Jinhwan." TOP greets me before opening the door for me.
I slide in the backseat of my car and wait for TOP to occupy the driver's seat. "Where to, sir?"
"Seoul PD headquarters."
TOP starts the car and begins to drive us along the long highway. Just then, my phone rings. I read the caller i.d before answering it.
"It's me." I answer.
"What are you doing? The shareholders' conference is an hour away." The voice from the other line reminds me. "Everyone is starting to arrive."
"About that, i think i'll be running late for today's meeting." My lips draw into a thin line. "I still have somewhere i need to go."
"Where?"
