It's just been some days since that day when she ended our relationship.
I can completely understand her, my situation is getting worse and worse, so even though I loved... no, I still love her so deeply, it's better for her if we end everything between us.
She's already a successful actress, and will keep getting better and better, while it seems I've reached the peak of my life some time ago and it's going down from now on.
The threatening has become worse... my restaurant is not really mine anymore, it's just some time till the company goes into bankruptcy. I'm already on debts right now, but It seems I'll have to indebt myself some more to pay things.
The Volvo was already sold some time ago, but it's obvious that my little baby will be sold sooner or after. It pains me a lot, but it's something I must do.
Even though Park Do Joon already knows my situation, he's just playing with me. I thought I was great, but I'm simply an insect in front of him indeed. He's not even trying and I'm already finished.
Chris-ah doesn't even know that Do Joon already knows he's with me, that time Chris asked me why did things got worse suddenly, I couldn't tell him it was because of him... How could I?
Even though it's just been some time since I met him, that boy has changed my life in more than one way. Even that day we met, everything he told me, everything he's suffered hit me greatly. It really made me question myself and my actions all these years. A little boy that has not lived even half of what I've lived has gone through worse than me...
Life is really not fair, I don't know how many times I've asked myself "Why me?". But even though Chris-ah has gone through a lot worse, he wouldn't change anything in his life...
He's the reason I cannot stay still and not do anything anymore. I've been afraid of Do Joon all this time, but not anymore.
Even though Do Joon won't be pressured at all, I'll declare war on him... or at least I'll try...
While I was deep in my thoughts, my office's phone started ringing. I took it, and checked the dialing number... Hye Young ah....
After some seconds of reminiscing, I took the call.
— Hello? Sang Min? — I could hear on the Phone.
— Yes, hello Hye Young, thank you very much for calling.
— Don't worry, it's the least I can do. It's the favor you asked for... He said yes, but it should be today or tomorrow. No more chances, he's apparently still busy with the last group.
— Don't worry, I'll inmediately head over there. Thank you Hye Young. — without noticing, a faint smile has appeared on my face, indeed I could trust her.
She then once again started talking.
— Sang Min, I.... you.... — I already knew what she was trying to say, so I simply replied.
— Don't worry about me Hye Young, just... take care of yourself, Ok? We'll handle the papers soon! — I was already misty eyed by this point but tried my hardest not to let her notice my voice breaking.
I could hear a sigh over the phone, and then she answered back.
— I'm really sorry, Sweetie...
We ended the call, and once again I was left with wandering thoughts for some time.
I don't know how much time passed, but my eyes were once again dry, and I could completely calm myself once again, only then I said to the empty office.
— Come in, Chris-ah, I know you're there — How?, lately he's been spending his time continuously worrying about me, so he was a constant presence in my office. Also, he definitely heard the phone ringing and he'd be curious.
A pair of golden eyes could be seen as the door slowly opened. I don't really care he heard my conversation, it was actually better that way. I simply asked.
— Wanna come?
As always, he just nodded. So, we simply went out together and rode my little baby.
I sadly thought that at least I could ride it one last time today. The girls didn't really know about us leaving because they've been really busy with their schedule.
We finally arrived to a small three storeys building. I parked the car just in front of it and proceeded to enter with Chris. There was a pretty lady of about 30 years behind a desk just after entering. She asked.
— Good day sir, how can I help you?
— Yes, my name is Lee Sang Min, Jin Young-ssi Is waiting for me. — I calmly replied.
— Please wait here for a minute please. The woman stood up and disappeared by a hall on the right side of the building. We were left alone with the guard that I just noticed was standing still by the wall on the side of the reception desk.
After a couple of minutes, I noticed the lady came back once again, made some gestures with her hands, signaling to follow her and said.
— Please, I'll take you to Mr Park personally.
We simply followed her, first to the hallway, noticing it led to the stairs, we went to the second floor, and the office that was just next to the stairs, that's where the lady left us, so I knocked the door, noticing there was a sign with "CEO Jin Young Park" on it. Suddenly I heard.
— Come in.
I respectfully entered and said with my biggest smile, not before telling Chris to wait for me outside.
— It has been some time Jin Young-Hyung.
— Indeed some time — he said, while finishing some papers he had in his desk.
— Sorry for being late, congratulations on your wedding Hyung. Don't know if you received my gifts, I am really sorry for not being capable of assisting.
Hyung shook his head and replied.
— Don't worry about it, it was a little event between our families. — A stern expression then appeared in his ever weird smile and said — Sang Min ah, why don't you just tell me why did you ask Hye Young-ah for a meeting?
— Hyung... you've got some real achievements this year, was it composer of the year, there was also this new group, g.o.d was it? Also, don't know if Ji-yoon ah followed my suggestion and came here. She's really talented — I said, trying to find the words I was going to use.
His stern expression was momentarily replaced by a surprised one. — I didn't know you suggested that to her, she's indeed talented, if things goes well, I plan to debut her next year, or maybe in two years... — he then sighed, and continued once again with his stern expression — you haven't answered my questions though. Before you even ask, I'm not in any kind of condition to lend you money Sang Min-ah....
I simply nodded at him at first, but my next action left him completely speechless. I kneeled with my forehead touching the floor and said in a begging tone.
— I know I can't ask for any kind of money from you Hyung. I'm not here for that, I wouldn't betray Hye Young like that. She knows why am I here. From now on, I'll do a lot of crazy things, you perfectly know my position right now, you know there's no way for me to abandon all kind of relation with Do Joon, nor I intend to.... But from now on, I won't accept more threats... From now on, I'll wage a war against Do Joon, whatever it could imply — I said, while looking at the floor, while taking a glance at Hyung's expression.
A startled expression appeared on Hyung's face when I mentioned war against the father of Gangnam. He then said, while still surprised.
— Do I understand that you want me to wage war against him together with you? — a frown appeared on his face by this time.
I inmediately replied, once again making my forehead touch the door.
— Not at all.... This will be a lonely battle of mine, nobody else will be included in this... I just want to ask a favor from you. Please Hyung, I'm begging you right now.... take care of my little brother, that's the only thing I ask for. If it's money you're worried about...— I put my hand in the pocket inside my fur jacket and took out a envelope and handed it out to him — in that envelope are all my savings, I'll pay for whatever he could spend with that money. Just please, give him a home. — I again begged — that's the only thing I ask for. Just share your family with him. You don't know what he has been through, I don't want him to suffer because of my decision, nor will I lie to you Hyung. He had a conflict with Do Joon, that's why I was in his radar once again — while I said this, I sincerely hoped Chris wasn't hearing it, clearly lying to myself. — Please, just take care of him... I know I'm asking for a lot, but I don't have anyone else to ask this. You know what happened to Baek Ji Young, I could not involve her once again. Please...
Just after this, I could hear the door of the office widely opening, I knew perfectly who it was, but I was too ashamed of facing him right now after what I was trying to do.
I could understand if he scolded me, or even hit me right now, but it wasn't going to shake my resolve, even if it meant betraying him.
Just after I thought, he was going to scream at me, I could see from the corner of my sight his next action. And it left me gasping for surprise.
A loud bang could be heard from just beside me, followed by a immature voice saying.
— Please... I'm sorry....
Only a vivid blonde hair could now be seen from my sight.....
