“We’re almost there, just hold on a little more. I promise that I’ll tell you everything.”

I promise that I’ll tell you everything.

Everything.

So that was what he meant.

“What?” I asked in disbelief. I wasn’t going to believe Sehun. The world was too big for the murderer to be related to him. Too big.

“The person in the tombstone in front of you is my uncle. He’s Oh Yoo Hyuk, the murderer who killed your family.” He repeated. This time, he said it more clearly.
