The Book Which Stayed In My Heart
ep 1
The apartment is small. Probably not the smallest apartment in South Korea, but most definitely small. Only a single sofa with a TV in the living room, a decent sized kitchen, with a small hallway that leads to three doors exactly.
The entire apartment is nicely bricked designed, adding a small vintage vibe to it with a large window to see the outside highways and city of Seoul through the night sky.
Taehyung drops his bag, taking in the decent scent of the newly polished wooden floor and the dim lights that Taehyung could control with the switch against the wall.
Everything seems perfect for him.
He nods subtly to the apartment in approval and gets to work instantly.
Taehyung searches the whole apartment, taking in every inch and every section with complete precaution. He has to be sure this isn't a set-up or if there's any hidden cameras or voice monitors anywhere.
With fuddling hands he searches in his backpack, and pulls out an electric field disturbance gadget. The gadget is placed against the wall and he presses onto the blue button, watching it glow. Taehyung waits a while, trying to hear any sizzling of electrical disturbance anywhere in the apartment, only seeing it caused a reaction from the TV, lights and microwaves that's it.
So Taehyung removes the gadget and shoves it back in his backpack and grabs one of his suitcases and hauls it on the sofa, zipping it open. There laid four rows of bullet magazines. All different sizes. Underneath it were piles of guns; AK-47, a regular pistol, semi-automatic guns, and many more. Especially his more personal favorite; the sniper gun at the far bottom in his own section.
Taehyung, wearing black latex gloves, hides the guns in various spots: the stove, a secret compartment in the kitchen cabinets, a jacket by the front door he'll never wear, and scattered around his bedroom, bathroom, and a single one in the guest room. For his Tata, he grabs the case and moves to the kitchen island. Pressing a button under the marble edge, he places his fingers on the surface, tapping a familiar pattern. The middle section slides open, revealing an empty metal space bathed in glowing blue light.
Perfect place to hide a sniper gun.
He cozies the case at the space and thumps his fingers to another pattern, watching the middle section return to normal.
After doing another round around the apartment to make sure everything was in place, he finally slumps on the couch and waits.
Moments passed and Taehyung eyed the watch on his wrist with emotionless eyes, waiting for the time to hit.
And right when the big hand landed on twelve, his phone rings. Taehyung reaches for his phone and answers the unknown number.
A deep voice spoke from the other line instantly, but Taehyung knew exactly who it was.
V
"Yeah, coast is clear. I checked the entire apartment,"
He informs, hearing the man at the other end sigh in relief.
Unknown
"Good. Did you arrange-"
V
"The guns are in place, even the sniper gun. I scatter cameras around the area and connected it with my computer,"
Taehyung says, relaxing slightly against the couch
V
"This apartment is exactly like how I remembered it."
Unknown
"Your mother really loved it."
For a moment Taehyung had to close his eyes, suppressing his emotions from thinking about his mother; still fighting to get her screams as she reached death out of his head even though so much time has already passed.
He's not over it, probably never will either.
He whispers and runs a hand through his red hair
V
"Are-Are you positive they won't find me here?"
Unknown
"You're safe for now, just avoid any gang related activity or people. You may never know if they could be connected with Orchids."
To this Taehyung snickers.
V
"Be a normal college student, right?"
As if it were that easy. He never experience a normal type of school life, so how is he suppose to act casual with attending classes while knowing he has a target to his head?
Taehyung rolls his eyes and nervously rubs his knee with his hand.
V
"Don't worry about me, just be careful, okay? They know you're a cop and might've thought I was a rat because of it-"
