Luna's POV:
Finally, we reached Jeju Island! But damn, the 5 hours of long driving stressed me out badly. Damn, if I had taken my personal jet then I could have reached here much faster. I shouldn't have listened to Mr. Ri's suggestion!
I glared at him with my blazing eyes. He seemed a bit scared of me.
"You told me it won't take much time by car! Then what's this?" I roared at him fiercely.
"Umm, so-sorry ma'am. It's because of the traffic, otherwise, we could have reached--"
"I shouldn't have listened to you! That's why I dislike people! And you are absolutely worthless!" I interrupted him while venting out my frustration persistently.
He stood there with a guilt-stricken face without uttering anything.
Alex and Mr. Shin were about to join us from Dokkaebi Road, so we were waiting for them silently. When I was leaving for Jeju today, Mrs. Park informed me that mom-dad has already left at midnight without even telling me. Hah! That's good though! I don't expect anything from them but somehow, it ached my heart a bit...
Soon we saw Alex and his assistant walking towards us. He was dressed up formally in a light blue suit with his dark black hair styled in a wet look. He smiled gently while approaching me.
"Sorry, Miss Kim! Did you wait long?" He spoke very politely while staring at me with his intensified gaze.
"No, we just got here. But why were you two walking towards here?" I interrogated him in a cold voice as I glanced at his assistant. He bowed before me with a small grin.
"We came in my personal jet, so I had to walk up to here!" His calm and composed behavior was prevalent.
"That's a good job unlike me who trusted someone's stupid assumption!" I murmured with rage while gasping at Mr. Ri.
"Well, then can we join you in this car?" Mr. Shin asked me courteously in a pleasant tone.
"Yes, please follow us!" Mr. Ri opened the car door for them respectfully to get them inside.
Alex was seated beside me on the backseat when we were leaving for our destination. However, I was a bit anxious around him. Though it's a business trip still, it's my first time going with Alex to somewhere unknown! I was perplexed enough while gasping outside the window.
"It's our first time, visiting somewhere together," Alex uttered slowly while glancing at me.
"Well, yes. Things were getting really awkward from the first day of our meet! However, I didn't imagine for us working together--" Suddenly I halted as I noticed a big and profound scar on his right arm. It was terrifying but I felt as I have seen this scar somewhere before!
"He-Hey, what's that scar on your hand? I stuttered while asking him in a sharp voice.
He seemed a little surprised by my question. Immediately he buttoned up his suit to hid his scar from me.
"Nothing." A short and firm reply came from him.
"But why do I feel that I have seen that scar before?" I was quite persistent while asking him.
He looked at me with a cryptic smile on his face. "Do you think we have met a long ago?" He reciprocated my question quite complicatedly.
I was staring at him in the utmost confusion.

Alex's POV:
17 years ago,
Choi Industries Grand Annual Celebration:
I was a mere 12 years old kid at that time. It was a huge party held at our old mansion for the annual celebration of our group. Almost all reputed business tycoons were present with their families. It was fully crowded still, I was completely alone, sitting at the corner while gazing at all the kids present there. Some of them looked very happy with their families, I was smiling painfully at them.
"Master?"
A sudden voice startled me and I saw it my Mr. Tamaki, our butler. He was carrying a small letter in his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Butler?" I smiled kindly at him while asking.
"Master, a letter from the Art School of France where you had applied, came for you! You got accepted there!" He sounded very glad while handing me the letter.
"Really?" I almost snatched the letter from his hand being overjoyed. For a moment, it felt that I can fulfill my dream as an artist now!
"So you got admission!"
Both of us flinched with the voice and I saw Deok was standing behind me dressed up in a black tuxedo.
He slowly strolled towards me and in the blink of eye grasped the letter from my hand.
"What's this behavior, Deok? Give me my letter!" I grumbled at him while fuming in rage.
"Woah, congratulations big brother! Mr. Butler, can you leave two brothers alone?" He had a cryptic smile on his while commanding him.
"Deok, don't mess with my letter. Give it back!" I shrieked at him with my eyes glaring at him.
"Don't be so angry, big brother! I am your little brother, you should be more polite to me! Besides, you can't go there! You will be the next heir of the Choi Industries according to dad!" He was acting ridiculously while reading my letter putting my patience on the edge.
"I won't stay in this nasty family anymore! I will go to France and never come back again!"My voice sounded suffocated with the pain while I was bickering with him.
"But dad won't allow you to leave! Besides, I have a weak heart disorder, so dad won't ensure his trust in me for being the next heir! So, instead of you, I will go to the Art School!" He mumbled in a dark yet fierce voice with an evil smirk on his face.
"Don't test my patience, Deok! I have worked very hard to get there! Don't ever think of snatching my dream from me!" I roared at him while rolling my eyes intensely.
"Snatch? Haha!" He came much more closer to me with a mystic grin on his face. "I will snatch everything from you, big brother! My mom will make it sure to let you die a painful death here! So that after I finish the Art School, dad will have no option other than making his weak-hearted son the next heir! I will be the one and only heir of this huge business empire by eliminating you! Your mom died helplessly all alone, you will die soon too!" He cussed me in a low voice with an obnoxious expression.
I lost all my patience and grabbed his collar fiercely. "What did you say, bastard? I will kill you! I will kill you, Deok!" I outraged at him violently with demonic wrath in my eyes.
