Chapter 27 - Confrontations
Flashback
They remained outside on the corridor, waiting to hear everything through the open door.
Yunho took a deep breath, looked at the man in front of him and decided it was high time to come clean.
End of flashback
…
-I’m a cop.
-What?
-My name is Jung Yunho and I’m a cop. The old man in the living room is my father, his name is Jung Ji Hoo and he is not senile. Far from it.
Jaejoong stared at Yunho. He bite his lips hard and forced himself to listen, while his hands curled into fists. Outside, the men listened with some surprise and dreading Jaejoong’s reaction since he had not yet been informed that their prisoner is a cop.
-He’s also been bugging me to talk with you and come clean. That stuffed Bambi deer he insisted in bringing, I’ve hidden our ID cards and my cell phone inside it before I left our apartment. That thing has a hidden pocket. You can confirm our identities.
Last week, I received a new case on Monday. It was Taemin’s disappearance. And yes, you are right. The orphanage doesn’t seem to think he was kidnaped.
Wednesday my partner and I were chasing a lead on this other pervert we had tried to catch for ages. Finally we cornered him. Then I don’t know how, someone snuck up behind me and knocked me down. When I came to, the creep was dead, my gun was missing. Now that building is demolished, apparently with your company’s name somehow connected to it. And I’m facing the possibility of murder charges cause of this asshole from Internal Affairs.
To top everything I got a phone call on Friday. The guy I told you about. He did contact me to hurt you and no, he didn’t said who he works for. He also had surveillance video from inside the building that made it look like I murdered the pervert. I did realise some things, though. There was a hidden room in that place, hidden cameras; and I’m guessing they demolished that place to cover their tracks.
The guy said they had my gun and would hurt my Dad. Threatened to send the video to the police to frame me. In return he wanted me to kill you.
-Kill me? Are you telling me you came here to kill me?
The shorter man looked up at the cop with a murderous look.
-No, I didn’t. Jaejoong, calm down. Please let me finish. Thursday I got a call from Choi Siwon…
-Who? - Jaejoong screamed, lunged forward and pushed Yunho back. Taken by surprise, the cop stumbled before he recovered.
-I know he’s your ex. Look, the video you have on your computer. He found it.
…
-What are you talking about? - Screamed Jaejoong.
In the corridor, the four men were exchanging puzzled looks.
-Choi Siwon is the one who reported Taemin was missing. I talked with him on Monday, then on Thursday he called me again and showed me the video. The video of Ren’s assault. Siwon said he found it in your computer and he thought it was you.
-Video? - A lump of ice formed in Jaejoong’s stomach.
-I looked through your computer the other night.
Changmin almost got inside the room but was held back by Junsu.
-Minnie. Calm down. - Whispered Junsu.
-Did you hear him? That bastard used sex to….
-Shush.
…
-I wanted to confirm that the video I saw came from your computer and that you were the one responsible. But I know you didn’t do it. It’s not you in that video.
What is stranger is that the guy from Friday night told me the same thing as Siwon. He said you had hurt Ren and Taemin. Shit, he even said Ren was dead. And at the time I believed both of them.
Yunho was running his fingers through his hair while Jaejoong had gone extremely quiet and pale, hardly breathing, eyes wide open.
-I had seen a pic of you with Taemin at the orphanage. I was afraid you would hurt him and kill him like I believed you had done to Ren.
When I broke into your room I just wanted to get evidence to send you to jail. Maybe also threaten you to tell me where Taemin was. Land a few punches and kicks for good measure. I swear that was just it. But then…
I saw that picture of you with Ren that you keep in your desk, next to your computer. And it’s a picture taken inside that room. Please understand me. I believed the boy was dead. I had seen that awful footage of him being beaten and raped and I thought it had been you. I just snapped. I didn’t think straight anymore. I just wanted to hurt you like I thought you had hurt those kids.
-Ok, enough. - Jaejoong said, voice breathy and strained, holding out the palm of his hand, eyes closed and body trembling.
-I took all that beating from Changmin cause I really didn’t know who wanted you dead; and I was afraid they would do something to my dad or that you would. But mostly cause I didn’t want you to know I was investigating the kids. It took me some time to accept that you are innocent where the kids are concerned, even after finding out that Ren is alive. It took me finding the video in your computer and seeing it again. It took me seeing you talking with Ren, and how worried you are about Taemin. I’m in this mess cause I want to rescue that kid. So, let me help in any way I can.
-Enough, Yunho. Enough, shut up. If you know what’s good for you, just shut up. I don’t want to hear any more, not one word. Leave me alone.
Jaejoong stumbled almost blindly to the door, yelling for Yoochun and Changmin. The business man didn’t even blink at seeing the four men outside in the corridor.
-Take him back to his room and keep him there. Junsu, my room.
…
Jaejoong paced his room, getting increasingly more and more nervous. Junsu entered with cautious steps and eyed his boss; the slim man was practically having a panic attack.
-Jae, what is it?
-Su, oh, God! Oh, God! Check my computer. Please check it. Yunho said there’s a video of Ren in it.
-Calm down. You are hyperventilating.
-Check the computer!
-Ok! Ok, I will. Calm down.
-No! Just check it already!
Deciding his boss was too far gone to listen to reason, Junsu sat at the desk and checked all the computer files. Soon he found what Yunho was talking about. And some other interesting files he figured Lee Jun Ki needed to have a look at.
-Did Yunho mention anything else besides a video?
-What? No. Why? What did you found?
-Nothing, Jae. I was just asking. - Replied Junsu as he surreptitiously copied the files to a pen so he could give them to Jun Ki. He breathed deep before answering Jaejoong.
-Look, there really is a video. You can’t see the man’s face. Whoever was filming was the one hitting Ren.
Jaejoong collapsed on the floor, tears falling from his eyes. With his hands covering his mouth and body shaking visibly, the business man was an empty shell of his former self.
-Su! H-he put that.. that in t-there… He… He p-put that…
…
Yoochun, Changmin and Jun Ki entered the library to prevent Yunho from trying to follow after Jaejoong. The taller bodyguard went up right in the face of the cop, eyes level, and just started to empty his rage at the man in front of him.
-You bloody incompetent idiot! You dared to point our faults the other night. Well, you’re not much better. You were completely played and didn’t even notice. You stupid ass! Blind! You are blind!
-What are you talking about? - Yelled Yunho right back at Changmin, his own height matching the furious young man. The cop was finding himself too angry to worry about how he was outnumbered.
-There is one more connection between Ren and Taemin, besides Jae, you stupid incompetent excuse of a cop. Dumb ass!
-The orphanage? Was it someone there?
-God. You really can’t see it, can you? How did you ever get to become more than a traffic cop? How you ever arrested anyone?
-Stop insulting me and just explain what the hell you’re talking about.
-Who did you just said reported Taemin missing? Who was dating Jae when Ren was attacked? Who showed you that disgusting video saying it was Jae?
-What?
-Don’t make me laugh. You think he’s above suspicion just cause he’s a lawyer?
Jun Ki approached the two glaring men and calmly added more information.
-He is also the owner of the demolished building. It took me some time to chase all the ghost companies, but that building always belonged to Siwon. And the accountant in our company planting evidence started working for us around the time Jae started seeing Siwon. After some persuasion on my part he came clean with how he has been working for that scumbag all this time.
Changmin and Yoochun both looked at Jun Ki with an unspoken question in their eyes.
-It’s ok, Changmin. I can be very persuasive. Besides, I have enough evidence on him to send him to jail and he knows that, so he won’t tell Siwon I found out.
Both bodyguards sighed in relief. Yoochun took a few seconds to send another look at Jun Ki; this time it was a slightly mocking smile after noticing how the man had only addressed his friend. Oblivious to that, Changmin had returned to shooting daggers with his eyes at the cop.
Yunho stared at Jun Ki, his previous anger towards Changmin suddenly completely forgotten.
-You mean…? Siwon is the one who…? But…?
Yunho’s knees gave up under him and he just sat on the floor looking up at the men around him with unseeing eyes.
…
-How…?
It was Yoochun who answered Yunho brokenly whispered questions.
-Jae only started to suspect something was strange one time Ren was sick and he stayed over instead of returning to the orphanage. Siwon got caught on camera entering the boy’s room. Ren was too sick to notice anything and we weren’t sure of what happened. But it got Jae to watch Siwon more carefully. As soon as he noticed Jae was acting differently, things escalated too quickly. Ren went missing one day. We looked for him everywhere. Siwon was nowhere to be found as well.
When we finally got Ren’s location from the GPS on his phone and arrived on that damn building, he was unconscious. Had we taken longer to locate him, he would have died. We saw no one. Found nothing that could connect what happened to the kid with Siwon. The damn guy had a perfect alibi. And before you ask, not even DNA or finger prints. So, not much point in calling cops. Even if we had, nothing you guys could have done would have been done better than what we did.
Ren was on the hospital for weeks. The first week he was on a coma. When he woke up, the poor kid could not remember anything of that day. A probable side effect of the drugs he was given. It was rather a blessing, especially since after he recovered enough, his adoption process was complete and he went to live in the States.
Jaejoong has had Junsu in charge of keeping an eye on Siwon ever since, just waiting for a mistake. But we haven’t had any luck. And the man is better guarded than it may seem.
-Why not just kill him?
-You must have a very funny idea about who we are or who Jae is. Jae is incapable of killing anyone and we have only ever fired back in self-defence.
-Enough talking. Looking at him is turning my stomach inside out. Let’s just get him back in that room. And cuff him. Why the hell is he without any cuffs again? - Yelled Changmin.
Lee Jun Ki studied the defeated cop. Suddenly, out of nowhere, and even before Changmin could grab Yunho, Jun Ki aimed a kick at the cop.
