Capítulo 308: A Calming Balm

Hobin yawned widely as he entered his apartment. He turned on the lights and slumped on his chair before reaching out into his pocket to take out the brooch. It was sparkling under the light, its many beads shining brightly. He turned it over absentmindedly, not sure what to feel.

The day Taehee died, she was wearing this brooch. It was the last gift her mother had given her and Hobin was feeling disturbed. How did this end up in the possession of the Brethren? 

There was a knock on the door. He looked up to see Jina entering the apartment. She sighed at his state. Junho had told her about the brooch and she came to check up on Hobin.

"Are you alright?" she asked, sitting on a chair next to him.

"I'm not," he muttered. "You were right. The demon from the Brethren is sending me a message. I'm sure it's the Cleaver. It's his way of goading at me."
