Chapter 9
The Road Not Taken
When the blindfold was removed from Jinki's eyes, he found himself in a large bedroom. He was standing in the doorway. There was a king size bed. Beside the bed was a table and chair. On the other side there were huge floor to length curtains. Jonghyun led him to the chair. Made him sit and tied his hands behind the chair. This time he didn't tie his legs. He sat crossed legged on the bed.
"I'm Kim Jonghyun. This is my room."
"What do you want from me?"
"You saw me killing, so I can't just let you roam around just like that."
"You can trust me. I wont tell anyone, I'll keep it a secret. I'll take it to the grave with me. I can even give you money."
"Well I don't think this is about that night. I don't need your money. It will be like a drop in the ocean. And even if I wanted the money, how are you going to give me the money, when you yourself don't have a penny on you, huh Jinki?"
"Then why are you doing this?"
"Can't a guy have some fun?"
"Is this your idea of fun? Kidnapping someone, killing someone?"
"It is. Do you want something to eat"
Jinki turned away, muttering to himself.
"As your wish. I'm going to sleep. It isn't an easy job following around someone."
From the corner of his eye Jinki could see Jonghyun lie down and fall asleep after some minutes.
"Is he crazy? Who kidnaps someone for fun? I've got to escape from here somehow."
He started pulling at the rope. It got tighter and he winced.
"Sleep. Stop making so much noise. Do you think I would allow you to escape?"
Jinki continued to try to free himself. But he couldn't. Eventually the tiredness of the whole day got to him and he fell asleep.
