THE TRUTH

Seugmin opened his eyes with a pain in his head, as if it were a hangover, but when he remembered and saw his surroundings he was upset, he was in a small room with a large mirror in front, handcuffed and sitting in front of a white table, he did not worry much about the fact of being handcuffed or even in fact of how and why I got there but if I worry about where his backpack was and Katana, they were too important to him, I look forward in that common "mirror" of every interrogation room, he smiled sideways since probably the idiot of the policeman anyone who arrested him was behind him, count three seconds, 1, 2, 3 ... and pum, the door was opened, he congratulated himself for getting it right and I look at the man who sat in front of him.

-Very young, I'm not even going to ask why you are in Seoul when your last name would make you disappear in just two days

Seugmin looked at him confused, but ignored him looking away disinterested and perhaps looking for a way to flee, as well as fleeing home and his two psychopathic uncles.

-The police are not the only ones who want the head of an Ahn friend, the small clans and groups of vandals too, here they are not very loved, the only thing they feel here for your family is hatred, that's why your brother changed his surname

His gaze returned to that man, but more confused, his frown said it all.

- How the hell does my brother know?

For the first time I speak

With a fierce voice

Cold

And the agent lifted his gaze from the brown folder and watched him.

-I shouldn't be the one to tell you

I throw the folder to the end of the table where Seugmin was to observe what was there.

He, his name was there, with his photo and until his date of birth included other information that until now he knew, but there was something about everything that was not right, his last name, that was not his last name.

- What the hell?

-Your last name from now on will be Choi, so welcome to Seoul Choi Seugmin

That agent's smile didn't please him, otherwise it infuriated him, what lightning was going on? Did all this even make sense? I was going to ask for a kind and pleasant explanation, but the man got up going to the door opening it.

-Hey, don't look at me like that, thank Choi later, for me outside and I would let you try to survive in Seoul to see if you were worthy, but according to him you are what the team needs, sleep well about two hours, I will come for you at four in the morning, do not scandalize

And then the idiot disappeared

What was he supposed to think of all that?

The guy didn't tell him anything coherent since he had walked through that door to talk to him.

What did he sleep?

It was like telling a child to stop playing or running, they were not going to stop doing it because his energies asked him to continue, that's how he felt, his head would not let him rest as long as there was no concrete answer or vital information for his brain of what was happening, maybe he should have stayed at home and made a revenge plan to kill his father, yes, that idea sounded better to him at that time.

The hours passed and Seugmin's thoughts were limited only to those two sheets with his information and the surname Choi highlighting in everything, he was not even interested in the fact that he was in a cell, in the dark, without a possibility of being able to know where his belongings were in order to be able to elaborate a plan well because until now his small improvisation of escaping from home had come out a little bad, more bad than already calculated, at least I hope to live quietly and in the shadows until the money ran out but apparently I ended up wrong

4:10 am

Or that could be calculated without a clock, but Seugmin calculated all the time so far only by the words that that agent had given him, has he lied to him? But no, the door was opened and the cell fence too and that voice heard it again.

-Very well heir, I will get you out of here

It was the only thing he told him only then handcuffed him again, bandaged him and dragged him out of the police station and put him in a car and then drove off, probably Seugmin would have thought of beating the smug agent and then escaping, but he was curious about everything that was going on or the things that Agent Chan knew, he could have done it, but he just let himself do everything

The journey seemed endless or at least to someone who was still blindfolded and handcuffed and without a seat belt on, any accident and would be totally lost if not dead.

-Hey, could you even take my handcuffs off?

I swear I can hear a slight evil laugh from his left side and notoriously annoyed by the situation of looking and feeling so hostile and vulnerable.

-Don't get so grumpy anymore, I'll take everything away from you when we arrive

- And when will that be?

I ask with a certain tone of kindness and irony

-Right now, we had actually arrived about twenty minutes ago, but seeing you grumpy was fun so I went one more lap

The tone so relaxed and with a hint of fun made him more in a bad mood, something quite remarkable making Lee laugh, who would say that this agent would be like that, after all he looked so serious when he knocked on Seugmin's door or when they were in the interrogation room, his true personality began to irritate the young man in the car.

-Lee, Choi said don't bother him, he must have a bad temper

Another voice could be heard from the left side of the car on the driver's side and the door was opened just like Seugmin's.

-I just had fun, don't be bored Sam

They took Seugmin from the torso and carried him as a sack of potatoes, I tried to get out, but clearly the person who had carried him was a little stronger besides that his position prevented him from doing so, or so Minnie tried to say so as not to feel so inferior.

I hear more voices, about four, I didn't identify them, they were unknown to your ear or memory, I just hope, I wait to be released.

-Chan, I told you there was no need to handcuff him

That voice

-I told him the same thing

He recognized the first voice, he was perplexed and with his eyes wide open when he did not know if what he had heard he had heard well or if his ideas were correct.

It was impossible.

-You didn't even put the belt on it, right? You're quite an idiot Lee Chan

There she was again, no, she refused to accept it, she refused the fact that that voice was hearing her again after three years of waiting for her, it was impossible, her heart could not if she saw it again.

And as if his words were orders the bandage was removed from his face giving him the possibility to see around him and where he was, he was sitting in the middle of a room with three people in front of him and one of them was the owner of the voice of a while ago, they removed his handcuffs and released him.

-You grew up, how good to see you

And I had the gall to smile at him.

His impulses and emotions won him over and he just got up from the chair in the direction of that idiot and threw a blow at him making him surprised, but when he looked at Seugmin he was shedding tears again like that night.

- Do you dare to smile? Do you dare to show your face after you have abandoned me?!

One more blow, the problem was that Seugmin couldn't impose so much force on his blows because his heart wouldn't allow it, so his blows were light to Hyunsuk's shoulders and chest.

- Asshole! Do you know what I had to go through to survive? He... he... he just knew how to hit me and give me orders

More cries and sobs were heard and he couldn't take it anymore, he broke down in tears and knelt before what he once called big brother, Hyunsuk stayed for a few seconds in shock, but he reacted when a sob from Seugmin resounded in his ears, he felt bad, Seugmin had every right to get angry and hit him as much as he wanted until he calmed down, was ready to receive more blows and insults

He also got down on his knees and I wait for his brother to continue treating him like the idiot he is for having left him but what he received were strong arms around him, he was even more surprised than he was surprised when Seugmin threw the first blow to his face something that began to hurt as his lip was bleeding, but he just smiled, they hugged each other again

-Sorry, I won't do it again, I know you won't trust me again so easily, but Minnie I'm here now, you won't have to go back there

I caught Seugmin's body hugging him too and after a few minutes of Seugmin calming down they separated by getting up from the ground and wiping the wetness of the remaining tears on his cheeks.

Don't think I've forgiven you idiot

-Take care of your words young man, I am still your big brother

The tone of mockery and feigned seriousness in his older brother made him smile slightly "does not change" that passed through his mind.

Now they were walking around the place, Seugmin was still somewhat confused by everything that had happened since last night when he heard his uncles and father talking unpleasantly in addition to confused things.

-Minnie, you should know that all these years I did not return because I did not want to but because I could not, Agent Lee Chan helped me make a deal with the government with the condition of staying a few years at home as my prison, I was not judged but if I left it or the country they would know it instantly and I would be a dead man, I have been working for the police ever since helping to catch mafias and clans that Dad is related to, I always had access to that information thanks to the poor security of his belongings.

They stopped in a "small" garden of that mansion sitting on a bench as the sun began to shine welcoming the sunset.

-Dad hid many secrets and that was my way out to get away from him and I told myself that when I could go out I would go for you, but apparently there was no need when you came to me.

That smile again

-Hyunsuk, our father talked to the uncles yesterday and...

-I know, I've known for a while when I heard Pope talk on the phone

Seugmin paid full attention to his brother

-Our father comes from a family of Minnie power, we have royal blood, the Ahn have ruled Seoul from the shadows for centuries, we are another generation in the process to continue with their corruption and power, I was the heir and I was rare the effort that Papa kept putting to make me strong in addition to forcing me to take international business classes and many more studies, I could not complain about that but in the same way it was very strange so I investigated, our uncles are the mastermind in all this, they are scientists, the best there is to tell the truth, their experiments go to another level of discovery and evil, always ask me because as a baby they always did blood tests

For a moment under the head and sigh

- Me? Mama used to say it was because she always got sick.

- but it was not normal for you to get sick every month without fail, look Minnie, when I was born I was immediately given the position of heir, but your birth was planned, you were part of his plan all the time

-What the are you talking about Hyunsuk

Once again he had that face of confusion before the words of his brother that began to spin in his head like a whirlpool.

-They used mama, that man I never love her, I only use her, since she realized that she was pregnant I always saw mom going with our uncles every day after dinner, without fail they came to take our mother, once I asked them but they only ignored me and said that the only thing I had to worry about was being a good heir, but when you were born instantly she was said to be cancer but I knew there was something else, I did my own research and discovered that I had used her to implant a model of a new and revolutionary experiment, not for her but for you.

Both clashed eyes

-I have no idea what that had, but it made Mama die just years later and I intend to take revenge for that, our uncles have been waiting all this time for you to show some sign that their experiment had worked and had not been in vain, that's why they subjected you to basic training from an early age, I saw Ahn always worried about your condition but after a few years I saw him so calm and that's when I found those papers on his desk, he said that at 18 years old you would show if or if you show what they injected into you, you carry it in your blood, and you who asked me why your blood was a little darker than mine, Seugmin, you have power in your blood, I'm not sure what kind of power but we'll know that in two weeks.

He definitely had to ask for a pause, his brain couldn't keep processing or analyzing so much information so it took a few minutes before I could speak.

- Are you saying that our uncles and Ahn used me as a guinea pig even before I was born?

-What a good summary

Light river

- And still laugh? Have you heard of it if you want? Sounds so unreal

-I know Minnie, but it is the truth, I found evidence that I then gave to Chan and then handed him over to his superiors, that's why they gave me a little freedom despite where I came from, that's why I changed my last name and that's why I asked to change yours before the higher authorities put their eyes on you, I know everything is confusing but you will get used to the truth over time, there is more but I doubt that your little brain can with everything in a day so I will show you the place and the guys, you will like them

- Did you just insult me?

Hyunsuk laughed as he dragged his brother inside hugging him by the shoulders as he complained about having discreetly called him a "brute."

They walked like this for about three minutes and when he looked up Seugmin realized that the same boys from a while ago, including the annoying detective, were looking at them.

-Minnie, I want to introduce you to my team, my family

His brother's smile let him know that he really appreciated those boys.

-Asahi Hamada, Kim Sam, Jeong Young soo and as you know and know, Special Agent Lee Chan

He pointed to each of them and some greeted him with a kind smile and others just set out to move their head as a sign of greeting with their expression cooler than the iceberg itself.

They helped get him out of Ahn's reins and they also helped him get a deal with the government.

It was clear, each of those boys were agents with some special position, although a surname became familiar, one of them caught his attention and just as a fortune teller, he realized that that particular someone had been watching him, but when he realized that it was not his face that exactly he was seeing, but he was seeing the sword reloaded on his back and it was only seconds for him to approach him and grab it by the neck.

- What do you do with one of my family's swords?
