Chapter 69 - Pendant

They arrive just as the masked man is crushing the car and as soon as he sees their headlights he bolts

They quickly exit  their cars

Bong Soon: Don't  let him escape!

They all go in opposite directions hoping one of them gets lucky  . Myung Soo runs into him first and the masked man  pulls out a gun . 

Suddenly everyone hears the sound of a gun shot and run towards the source of the sound. There they find Myung Soo who has frozen in fear.

Myung Soo: (terrified) He ...got ...away

Min Ho:(worried)  Are you okay...

Myung Soo: Yes

Min Ho:(helpless) Aish dummy you should have run away.

Myung Soo:(crying)  I'm sorry hyung

Min Ho:(teary eyed) Look at you you're pale. What do you think I would tell dad if anything happened to you.Aish this kid

Myung Soo: I'm okay

Min Ho: (frustrated) Seriously don't do this again

Myung Soo: I'm sorry hyung

He looks at Bong Soon who's just standing there crying.

Myung Soo: Bae  don't cry,look I'm okay.

He goes and wipes her tears off but she continues to cry

Myung Soo: I'm really okay

She just continues to cry

Myung Soo: Aish what will I do with you

She hugs him whilst crying.

Mr So can't help but see the pain in both Min Ho and Soo Hyun's eyes

Mr So:I think it would be better if we leave  now before anything bad happens.

Soo Hyun:(sad) You're right

Mr So:And you kids have to drop this case,it's not safe for you

Bong Soon:(calming down)Yeah you're right,I'll find another way to make my dad stay.

Myung Soo: But we're getting close

Min Ho: Aish dummy close to death

Bong Soon: I cant risk any of you getting hurt because of me ,I couldn't live with my self.

Soo Hyun:And no police,we might in trouble with all the laws we've already broken.

Bong Soon: Yeah no police

All :Deal

Myung Soo:Who is going to tell your dad?

Bong Soon: I will,he'll understand.

Myung Soo :I'm sorry this is all my fault.If I hadn't confronted him you wouldn't have to drop this case.

Bong Soon:Its not your fault. (hugging him)Don't think too much about it ,it's okay.

Soo Hyun: Okay I'm done with this drama,let's go

Min Ho: I'm driving you home ,you're still shaking  and she's still crying.

Bong Soon: (defensive) I'm not crying. I don't cry.

Min Ho: Okay correction she's not crying she just happens to have  some "water "in her eyes

Bong Soon just glares at him.

Myung Soo:(laughing) Thanks hyung

He hands over his keys.Soo Hyun takes Min Ho's car,Mr So takes Soo Hyun's car and Min Ho chauffeurs Myung Soo and Bong Soon.

Thursday

Everyone is still a bit tense about what happened the previous day.Min Young and Won Ho are still quite confused with the situation since no one is telling them anything.

After school

Bong Soon goes to the Chan's residency and arrives as Mr Chan is leaving with some other man who seems to be his friend.She rings the door bell and Min Ho answers it.

Min Ho let's her in and  calls Myung Soo downstairs

Min Ho:(annoyed) I'm leaving

Bong Soon:Wait this involves you too

She brings out a  2 pendants

Bong Soon: These are for you.

Min Ho: I don't want it

Bong Soon:(annoyed)  Aish

She puts one on him and the other on Myung Soo

Bong Soon :Now say thank you

Min Ho: No what's this about

Bong Soon :Well after yesterday's events I think it's clear that we might be in danger

Myung Soo :True

Min Ho: So how will a pendant protect us

Bong Soon: Well it can't protect you ,but it does have a tracker inside .If something were to happen to either of us we'd atleast know the location of the person.

Myung Soo: That's pretty smart

Min Ho: Isn't that an invasion of privacy

Bong Soon: Well not really  we can only use it when it's necessary.When you press that little button inside the pendant we'll be so your location, I don't even have the tracker I left it with someone I trust.

Myung Soo: Who?

Bong Soon: Mrs Woo

Min Ho: Great now some old woman will know my every move

Bong Soon:Well only if youve activated it.Or Should I keep it with me instead .

Myung Soo: Noo

Bong Soon:Mmm are you hiding something

Myung Soo:(nervous)  Well noo

Bong Soon: So you have nothing to worry about then.

Min Ho: Aish if that's all I'm leaving

Bong Soon: Wait I also got some bullet proof vests

Min Ho: Aren't you pushing  it a bit much.

Bong Soon: Okay okay I'll return them.

Min Ho: (meh)What ever bye

Bong Soon:Wait are you meetig Soo Hyun

Min Ho :That's none of your business

He storms out of the house

Bong Soon:(offended)  Rude much

Myung Soo: Don't mind him.Are you staying over?

Bong Soon: No I have to go.

Myung Soo: Awe  that's okay

Bong Soon:Mmmm, you're letting me go so easy

Myung Soo: (teasingly) Better run before I change my mind. (leaning in)After all I've got the house all to my self

She kisses him unsuspectingly then runs off to the door.

Bong Soon:(acting cute) Bye

She exits the leaving him still in shock.

Myung Soo: (blushing) What's gotten into her

A couple minutes later she arrives at the Baeks residency and Mrs Baek answers the door

Mrs Baek:He went out you just missed him .

Bong Soon:Awe do you know where he went?

Mrs Baek:No he didn't say,is there a problem

Bong Soon: No I just wanted to give him something

Mrs Baek: You can leave it with me

Bong Soon: Mmm he listens to everything you tell him right?

Mrs Baek: Yes

Bong Soon :Great then give him this,and tell him to.never take it off.

Mrs Baek :Its adorable

Bong Soon: Yeah I got them for everyone but I knew Soo Hyun would be the hardest to convince to put it on.

Mrs Baek: Don't worry you can count on me .

Bong Soon: Mmmm  on that note  ,I have a friend who has a going away party tomorrow can you ask him to come too

Mrs Baek: Where are you holding the party

Bong Soon: Well I hadn't decided yet

Mrs Baek: Say no more ,have it here that way he'll be forced to attend it

Bong Soon: (surprised) Omo, you really mean it

Mrs Baek: Yes ,it will be good  for me and Mr Baek maybe we'll have a date night  so you can have the house all to yourselves.

Bong Soon: You seriously rock.Thank you

Mrs Baek: No need to thank me .Now go prepare for it.

Bong Soon: (excited) Okay thank you

Meanwhile...Back at the Chan's residency  Myung Soo  sits thinking about the previous night

Myung Soo: Why did he hesitate, I was right  in front of him...That was an easy shot...But he missed...Or did he do that on purpose....

He takes the bullet from  his pocket

Myung Soo: I've seen that gun before...but where ...I don't like where this is headed....I need to get this checked out...Shin will know someone.

He leaves the house

MEANWHILE....Min Ho and Soo Hyun arrive at Mr Kim's apartment

B.S dad:He has been awfully quiet these days.He's barely in the house ,and with where he left his brief I'm afraid I have nothing to report.

Min Ho: We seriously need to get into his.apartment

Soo Hyun: When we're certain that we won't get caught as well.

B.S dad: You'll find the opportunity don't worry.

Min Ho: Yeah you're right

B.S dad:So how is my case going

Soo Hyun: Awe she didn't tell you

B.S dad:Tell me what?

Min Ho :Myung Soo almost got shot yesterday, so we decided to call it quits

B.S dad: Omo is he okay.

Min Ho: Yeah he was just shaken up a little bit.

B.S dad: You made the right decision, no case is worth anyone's life.How did Bong Soon take the news

Soo Hyun: Prety well I think,she seemed optimistic. Even said she's going to find another way to keep you here.

B.S dad: My princess ,she's done all this for me already.I can't leave her can I.Even if her mother never believes me.

Min Ho: Don't worry ,you too will find a way.

B.S dad: I just hope my princess has really let this go,she has a tendency of being persistent

Soo Hyun: We'll keep an eye on her

Suddenly there's a knock by the door

Bong Soon: Hurry up I brought you dinner!

The Boys freeze

Min Ho: She can't see us here

Soo Hyun: Tell her to go away.

B.S dad:(panicking)  Aish let me see what I can do .

The boys take the radio and hide in the bathroom.

Mr Kim opens the door just enough  to let the food in.

Bong Soon: Why can't I come in

Mr Kim:I've got a terrible cold ,I don't want you catching it

Bong Soon:Are you trying to bum out of going job hunting tomorrow

B.S dad:No not at all ,just go and let me sleep this cold off so I'm in top shape tomorrow.

Bong Soon: You should've told me I would've gotten you some soup

B.S dad:Don't worry I already had some

Bong Soon: Okay then, I'll be  back early in the morning

B.S dad: Okay ,bye

He slams the door in her face.

Bong Soon: He didn't even call me princess....What are they doing here...I could see their cars parked in that alley around that corner...What is it that they can discuss with my dad and not me...Mmm something is fishy ....(amused) Thrown out of my own father's apartment (smirking) they'll pay for that.
