Chapter 289: All Gone.

"Are you okay?" Detective Seok- Jin asked Tae-Oh, who had been keeping to himself for most of the week and seemed like he was in a foul mood.

Every time his phone rang, he rushed to pick it up as though he was expecting a call but always hissed in disappointment. He was sprouting beards, and Tae-oh wasn't the type to let his beards grow, either. His eyes were dark and hollow like he wasn't getting enough sleep.

"Sure. Why?" Tae-Oh asked distractedly as he kept tapping his pen against the desk.

"I've been watching you for the past couple of days, and you've not been acting okay. You definitely don't look it, either. Besides, you only do that pen thing when you're upset. What is wrong?" Seok-Jin asked in concern.

Tae-Oh took in a deep breath. He wasn't one to discuss his business with just anyone. He liked keeping his problems to himself, but he also knew if there was someone he could talk to, then that person was his partner.
