Chapter 6
"Something else."
"......."
"You should answer something else."
"What."
There was nothing to answer since nothing had been asked. Hongju quietly lowered his hands to undo his seatbelt, but Mu-gyeong was faster. His large palm covered the buckle, holding it in place as he spoke again.
"You didn’t answer my question before."
"...Before."
What had he asked? Hongju tried to recall. With Guppping nagging him not to piss Mu-gyeong off, he had probably answered even the most trivial questions earnestly. But no matter how hard he racked his brain, nothing came to mind. Watching Hongju’s furrowed brow, Mu-gyeong finally spoke.
"I asked if you wanted to kill Gu Madam. You never [N O V E L I G H T] answered."
As Hongju turned his head, their eyes met instantly. Mu-gyeong’s red lips curved smoothly into a smile. The moment he saw that smile, a chill ran down the back of his neck. He had felt this before.
"...Yeah."
This time, he didn’t lie. There was no particular reason. Maybe because this could be the last thing he ever said alive. There was no need to hide the truth.
