(Hi guys please like and comment.Thank you  🤗)

They go to his father's office where he's having a meeting and they arrest him

Mr Baek: Soo Hyun you can't do this to me!

Soo Hyun: I just did

Mr Baek: I didn't do anything wrong!

Soo Hyun:(chuckles) What do you call kidnapping my mother !

Mr Baek: I didn't kidnap her ,I was protecting her.

Soo Hyun :You really have no shame.

Mr Baek: Trust me on this son .Someone tried to kill her,I got lucky I found her alive, but she was in a coma, I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know if she'd ever wake up

Soo Hyun: That doesn't matter you know How much I cried thinking she was dead.

Mr Baek:Son....

Officer:Take him away

Mr Baek: Soo Hyun please!

Mr Baek is arrested and taken to the police station .The press is already there and the news makes headlines"MR BAEK UNDER ARREST FOR KIDNAPPING HIS WIFE "

Soo Hyun goes back to his mom .They get there and the doctor he called in has finished his examination.

Soo Hyun: Is she okay?

Doctor :Yes she totally fine

Bong Soon: Will she ever wake up?

Doctor:Yes she can wake up anytime soon.

Min Ho:How are you sure isn't she in a coma?

Doctor :Yes she is ,but by the sign of things she woke up from her coma a long time ago.They've been keeping her in a drug induced coma.

Myung Soo :That's just wrong.

Soo Hyun: (enraged)He's gonna pay for this

His mom is moved from the secret room into her old room.Everyone then stays helping Soo Hyun. The following day they all skip school.Bong Soon returns home in the morning .

B.S mom:Honey you're back!

Bong Soon: Yes.

B.S mom:We saw what happened on the news.Poor Soo Hyun.

Bong Soon: Yes it's horrible

B.S dad:I always knew something was up with that man.

Bong Soon :Yes your gut is always right doctor Kim .

B.S mom:Its really scary what some people do.Luckily I'm married to Dr Kim who won't harm me .Right honey?

B.S dad: I would never

Bong Soon: That's nice for you guys.

B.S dad: But hey I didn't know i was raising a little Nancy drew.Im so proud of you princess.

Bong Soon: Thanks dad.You actually helped too.

B.S dad:Really

Bong Soon: Yes if you hadn't taken me to work I would've never found her.And you're the one who told me she was in a coma.

B.S mom: Omo both of you are heroes.But how is Soo Hyun handling this.

Bong Soon: He's okay ,he's happy he's found his mom but also sad about his dad's situation even though he doesn't show it.

B.S dad:Yeah that's sad.

B.S mom:How about this we'll visit them and keep them company.

Bong Soon :Yeah that would be nice. The doctors said his mom might wake up anytime soon so that's a good sign .

B.S mom: Maybe when she gets better she could be my first friend here.

Bong Soon: She'll love you.

Bong Soon goes upstairs and baths .As she's looking for clothes to wear she runs into Myung Soo's clothes, the ones he gave her when she got wet in the pool and his sports pants from school.

Bong Soon: (just smiles)

She gets dressed and gets ready to go check Mi Nam'splace.As she's about to get in the car she realizes she forgot her phone in her room.She heads back inside and when she gets there her door is slightly open and she hears someone is inside. She peeps through the opening and it's that maid from before who's going through her things. As the maid is leaving the room Bong Soon hides .She then follows the maid who heads to the kitchen.It seems as though the maid is briefing Mrs Park on what she found then suddenly she hears a voice behind her say"What are you doing here young Miss ?"

She is startled and quickly turns around and it's Mr Shin

Bong Soon:(scared) I....I...I just wanted to get some water.

Mr Shin:Is that all

Suddenly Mrs Park comes out of the kitchen

Mrs Park: Young Miss

Bong Soon: Mrs Park

Mrs Park: What brings you here.

Bong Soon: (startled)Umm...can.....I ....have some water

Mrs Park: Okay young Miss.

She drinks her water then sees Mr Cho passing by and finds her way out of that awkward situation she's in

Bong Soon: Ahh Mr Cho let's go now I'm getting late.Bye everyone

Mr Shin looks at them suspiciously.

They then arrive at Mi Nam's place and there still isn't anyone.However the neighbors place is surrounded by people and police officers. Bong Soon is drawn there and asks a person in the crowd

Bong Soon: What's going on here?

Person:The lady who lived there just died.

Bong Soon: What!What happened to her?

Person: She supposedly slipped and hit her head.

Bong Soon: (shocked)How is that possible .Wow life really is something, I  saw her a couple days ago.

Person:Awe you knew her?

Bong Soon: Something like that...

Bong Soon leaves the scene and can't help but feel that it wasn't an accident which killed the lady.She's now extremely worried about Mi Nam .She goes to check on the Woo's and they haven't returned either.She sits outside their house wrecking her mind trying to piece these things together whilst Mr Cho waits for her in the car.

Bong Soon: What is going on here?...How did they all just disappear when I needed them? ....Okay so last time I spoke with the Woo' s was when I came with Jason...But they quickly threw me out when I mentioned Mr Shin....Could that be it?....The last time we saw Mi Nam was when she told us about Mr Baek...Could he have found out?...The Woo's were the only people who knew where she lived besides me.....Wait a minute ....He knew too!...

Suddenly Mr Cho appears in front of her

Bong Soon: (scared)You !....You knew too!

Mr Cho :You're right young Miss.

Bong Soon: What did you do to Mi Nam ?

Mr Cho:I didnt do anything .

She grabs a bottle near her and shutters it

Bong Soon: (scared)Get away from me!

Mr Cho:Come down I won't hurt you.

Bong Soon: Where are my friends!

Mr Cho :They are safe.

Bong Soon: How can I trust you!

Mr Cho:Let me explain.

Bong Soon: Explain what!

Mr Cho:I'm not the one you should be scared of.

Bong Soon: Then who!

Mr Cho: Mr Shin

Bong Soon lowers her hand a little then Mr Cho grabs the bottle from her hands

Bong Soon: Speak up.

Mr Cho: Calm down first

Bong Soon: I am calm!

Mr Cho: Okay promise not to judge me.

Bong Soon: I can't promise anything. And don't try anything funny.

Mr Cho: Mr Shin asked me to follow you.

Bong Soon: Why?

Mr Cho: Well he said it was to keep you safe since you are new here.

Bong Soon: And you believed that?

Mr Cho: I didn't but I did so anyway .

Bong Soon: Why?

Mr Cho: Well it was either that or I lose my job.

Bong Soon: Continue .

Mr Cho: Well you're not the first person he's asked me to follow.

Bong Soon:Who else have you followed?

Mr Cho: (ashamed)Mrs Chan,Mrs Baek only to name a few

Bong Soon: Why?

Mr Cho:I don't know he only tells me to follow certain people. But soon after my final report something bad always happened to those people

Bong Soon: And that didn't scare you?

Mr Cho:He's done so much for my family.

Bong Soon: That doesnt make it right

Mr Cho:(ashamed) I know.

Bong Soon: And you realise you're admitting that you were an accessory to those crimes.

Mr Cho:(ashamed)  I know.

Bong Soon: Why now?

Mr Cho: I've had enough .My conscience haunts me. I promised myself to do things differently this time .

Bong Soon: Aren't you afraid of what he'll do to you if he finds out?

Mr Cho: I'm ready to face him if I have to.

Bong Soon: Why should I trust you?

Mr Cho: Do you have any other option ?

Bong Soon: No....I don't .

Mr Cho: I thought you would eventually stop but you kept on poking into things you weren't supposed to and now you're on his radar.

Bong Soon: How are you sure about that?

Mr Cho: Why do you think that lady died today?

Bong Soon: So it was him.

Mr Cho: Yes.

Bong Soon: But it's all because you told him where Mi Nam lived.

Mr Cho: I didn't tell him .He just knew.He has a way of finding things out and you just handed the family he was looking for on a silver platter.

Bong Soon: (worried)So are they also dead?

Mr Cho: No they managed to escape before he got to them.The lady was only killed because she saw his face.

Bong Soon: What about the Woo' s?

Mr Cho: I told them to leave.Mr Shin knew you were talking with them.It was only a matter of time you found out about the real him.He was about to handle them but I got to them in the nick of time.

Bong Soon: And how did you know all this.

Mr Cho: Because I've also been keeping tabs on him.For safety precautions. Just In case he tries to harm me.

Bong Soon: Why didn't you just turn him in?

Mr Cho:They won't believe me I'm just a driver. And I don't have any solid proof against him.The only person who will go down will be me.He always ties up his loose ends .

Bong Soon: So what should I do?

Mr Cho: Just stop poking around .

Bong Soon: I'm already  in too deep.

Mr Cho: Leave it kid before you get you,your friends and your family killed.

Bong Soon: I cant just pretend everything is fine living with a murderer .

Mr Cho: Just be careful  I think he has an accomplice, I'm not sure who it is yet.

Bong Soon: Why do you think so?

Mr Cho:The night he ordered the hit on Mrs Chan I overheard  him.He must really trust that person because he usually does these dirty jobs himself.He only  trusts himself to get the job done.

Bong Soon: I still don't get why he would  want to harm  Mrs Baek or Mrs Chan.

Mr Cho: They must have found out something they shouldn't have.I don't know what it is either.

Bong Soon:So how is Mr Baek involved in all this?

Mr Cho: I don't know.

Bong Soon: Could he be the accomplice?

Mr Cho: I'm not sure,it could be anyone really.

Bong Soon:Okay I have to warn the guys

She calls the guys and asks them to meet her at the police station

at the station

Myung Soo: What's up?

Bong Soon: Something big came up.

Min Ho: What is it?

Bong Soon: Well...

Soo Hyun  arrives

Soo Hyun: Sorry I'm late.

Bong Soon: I didn't think you'd come.

Soo Hyun: After all you guys did for me .We're in it together aren't we?

Min Ho: (smiling) That's my best friend

Soo Hyun: So what's up,do you have more information against my father.

Bong Soon: Well not exactly. Things just got a little twisted.

Myung Soo: How twisted?

Bong Soon: Well do you want the short or long version?

All :Short!

Bong Soon calls Mr Cho to join them where they are standing.

Bong Soon: I'm sure you all know Mr Cho .

All:Yes

Bong Soon: Well according to what he told me Mr Shin was behind Mrs Baeks accident. He sadly was also behind Mrs Chan's death.He also murdered Mi Nams neighbor.We need to be careful now he might try harming any of us.

All:(lost)Huhhh

Min Ho: What are you saying?

Soo Hyun: How does he know all this ?

Bong Soon: Well he was kinda working for Mr Shin as a spy .

Myung Soo: So how can we trust him?

Bong Soon: Well I belive he means well.He even helped the Woo' s escape.

Soo Hyun: How sure are you.Did you talk with them

Bong Soon: Well no I didn't I just took his word

Mr Cho: You can call them here.

They dial the number and his story checks  out.

Myung Soo :I still dont get it .Why would the old man do that?

Bong Soon: I'm not sure .It seems that they found out something he didn't want them knowing .

Soo Hyun: It doesn't make sense my dad is already in jail for what he did to my mom

Bong Soon: That's why we're here. You said you can tell when he's lying.Im going to ask him a couple questions and you'll check if he's lying or not.

Soo Hyun: Okay.

They all enter the police station. Soo Hyun and Bong Soon get to talk with Mr Baek.Min Ho ,Myung Soo and Mr Cho remain in the waiting room..
