A Detour

KJ emerged out of the room, his face impassive as he tried to digest everything Soo Bin had revealed. The puzzle was finally solving itself and yet, his mind could not help but reject everything he had heard. 

The others looked up at him. He was tensed. Mirae ran towards him. 

"Are you alright?" she asked, feeling concerned. She and the others had heard the whole story from Dasom. KJ's mother was part of the Cartel. Not only that, she was responsible for a large chunk of its destruction. It was an astonishing feat. 

She reached out to touch him but KJ shook her hand off. He was in a daze as Soo Bin's words rang in his ears. It was a lot to handle. 

"KJ?" Hyun Jung probed. "Dasom told us everything-"

But KJ brushed him off and walked away. He wanted to be alone. 

"I'll go after him," Mirae said at once but Hyun Jung stopped her.
