Taerin's POV
"Well?" I ask.
"Miss Kang, we haven't seen captain for a long time" the man on the phone says, and I shut my eyes.
There's a low and painful thudding in my head.
"What do you mean by that?" I say calmly. I'm not calm right now, I feel anything but calm.
Taesan, you stupid fool, where are you?
Kang Taesan is as stubborn as a mule, and I know he can't die. I've seen him suffer through different kinds of pain.
My grandfather once starved him to the point where his stomach started to eat itself, and he survived.
He can't die.
"Ma'am?" the man I'm on the phone with calls, and I drag air into my lungs.
"Yes?" I ask, refusing to believe what he just said about my brother.
"We can't find boss…and there's bad news; I don't know if you're aware" he says and I grab my hair.
"What's the bad news?" I ask in a hoarse voice.
I'm getting too old for the hyperactive life of the underworld, too much bad news, too much pain.
