xxxvi - Papercut
PetrichorAs soon as I was discharged and deemed fit enough to walk, I made it my mission to finally find out what was going on. Ever since Chanyeol came and turned my life over, I have refused to look into the past because I never knew it so why did I need to now?
But I only brought more trouble for myself now that someone is trying to catch us as if we were criminals. So as soon as Chen stopped the car (he'd come that morning because he was driving us back - Chanyeol knew I'd be discharged that day) I hopped out and hurried to the elevator and arrived at their apartment in less than two minutes.
