Piece 016: Of Curiosity and Silence
Jigsaw
‘Yah, Kim Myungsoo! Where’s Suzy?! Tell me!!’
Myungsoo didn’t even blink. He just stayed expressionless when his furious cousin squeezed his shoulders tight. As soon as he entered the mansion before, Woohyun suddenly stormed towards him, ramming the confused lad against the cold walls.
‘Answer me, idiot! Where’s she?!’
‘Gone.’ Myungsoo simply muttered the answer under his breath, still wooden. Not satisfied with the senseless answer, Woohyun pressed his cousin’s shoulders tighter, rage was burning in his eyes.
‘Stop it, you two!’ A female shriek echoed throughout the house causing Woohyun to loosen his hold but still, he didn’t let go of Myungsoo’s shoulders. And soon, all that Woohyun could feel was Seungyeon’s hands on his arms, pulling him away from his cousin.
