"Now, time for punishment. "
Yoo Na widens her eyes as her feet drags her a step behind, she felt her eyes tearing up at their words, "W-Why? I-I didn't d-do anything wrong..." Yoo Na speaks as a fear of being locked scared her too deep that she was already trembling.
"You didn't do anything?" Soo Min scoffs standing on her feet and her hands folded against her chest, Yoo Na looks away but she caught Seokjin's teary eyes looking at her in concern yet he couldn't do anything. He felt so hopeless and incapable that very moment, he just stood straight with his hands behind his back and those hands were fisted.
"I had to teach everyone a lesson to not mess with us... if you were never here we wouldn't be going through all these troubles." Yoo Na hangs her head low as their words were hurting her yet she couldn't deny it.
She felt her anger rising up as the accusations made it even harder, who was at her if not for them.
"Did I ask you both to keep me?! I am not the one to blame but it's you both!!" Yoo Na burst out all of a sudden, her eyes red in rage as she tried hard to breathe despite the uneasiness she felt. Chan Ho and Soo Min were both baffled and bewildered, they felt as if they just got pranked by their hallucinations.
"Honey, Did I hear something, or is my ear making up things?" Soo Min mumbles in surprise as she looks at her husband who was eyeing Yoo Na with his serious yet amused gaze. He was one to always remain silent as he hated to talk much. He was cold and indifferent from everyone around but he was only a lovable person for his family.
Yoo Na sniffs feeling wronged, she looks up at the pair who were still in a daze, "No, I said it. And I meant it!" Yoo Na says running towards the stairs but Soo Min yells, "Seokjin! Catch her!!" Seokjin widens his eyes looking at Yoo Na running his way as he was standing just beside the stairs.
He holds Yoo Na as she stood in front of him with tears, "Do not do this... don't speak. They will hurt you. " Seokjin mumble loud enough for only Yoo Na to hear, "No, Brother. I ain't staying quiet anymore. " She says with a determined gaze.
But as she tried to escape she felt her wrist being gripped hard, she winches looking around to find Soo Min digging her sharp nails into her skin with her hold tightening and her eyes turning red the more she stares into her.
"What did you say?!" She yells out loud while Seokjin stands in front of Yoo Na despite her hold against Yoo Na's writ didn't part. "You move!" Soo Min yells glaring at Seokjin, "Ma'am... she is sick... s-she didn't mean that. Please..." He stutters out his words trying to defend her but he ends up being tossed aside.
Soo Min was just so angry that everything she saw and heard made her even more annoyed, Seokjin turns around facing her with his body lying on the floor.
"Brother!" Yoo Na yells crying but she couldn't escape, "Yoo Na!" She yells out her name, Yoo Na ignored her call and struggles to escape her hold but this made Soo Min angrier at her.
"You! Come here!" Soo Min yells pointing her index finger at the maid standing close to her. The maid walks towards her in a blink scared to meet her warth, "Go and lock her in the store room. The outside one not the one inside the house. "
Yoo Na gasps as she fights harder to escape her hold, instead a few more maid approach her and grab her dragging her out of the house, Seokjin stands running towards Soo Min, "Ma'am, I beg y-you please... don't send her t-ther... I apologise for her..." He says begging her as tears stream down his eyes watching them drag Yoo Na out.
Yoo Na was a crying mess by now as she fought hard but she wasn't strong enough to resist the grip of more. Seokjin looks at Soo Min once Yoo Na disappears out of his sight but Soo Min held a not-so-interested look which had crashed his hope.
He stands on his feet and runs towards the door, "Some of you stop him!" Soo Min yells as a few bodyguards grab him making him unable to move, he cries looking out of the door, he then raise his head up to see the raining getting heavier with all the lightening and thunders.
Just then a ringing sound resonates the hall grabbing all of their attention.
"Honey, your phone is ringing." Soo Min says as she walks back to her husband who was still fidgeting with his pockets trying to figure where his phone was.
"Hello?" He speaks once he takes his phone out.
"Hmm, I see. So what happened? Did it go well?" He speaks with a frown as he listened to his assistant talking through the other line. Soo Min walks to the couch and gestures one of the maid to bring her a glass of water.
"What?! Really…oh god. Okay make sure everything goes nice. And send me a copy of agreement via mail. " He speaks before ending the call and a wide smile was forming across his face. Soo Min frowns curiously.
"What happened? " She questions.
"Hun, the agreement with the Shin company has finally been processed. And the CEO has accepted our proposal of dinner." Soo Min widens her eyes, "You mean now both the company would get merged?"
"No but it will go as in partners. We will be doing friendly business." He says grabbing his wife's hands and caressing it softly. "I am so happy." Soo Min says happily as they both share a hug.
"Finally, after so many years!" Chan Ho says pulling away, "I will have them prepare for the feast." Soo Min stands on her feet and walks towards th head maid, "You heard right? Make sure there is no mistakes and prepare an elegant dinner for our guest tonight."
"Okay, ma'am." She replies nodding her head and leaves away with others following them behind.
"And keep him busy with work… I better not see him around the storage room, if so prepare yourself for a severe punishment." The body guards nod their head looking at Seokjin with pity.
"Honey, let's go and prepare for the night tonight. We need to look good and decent." Soo Min says grabbing his hands, "Okay." He replies giving in to his wife's wish as he follows her upstairs.
"L-let me go…" Seokjin mumbles through his tears once the couple walk out of their sight. The two guards contemplate whether they should or shouldn't give in to his request.
"I am sorry but we can't." One of them says while the other sighs.
"Jin, you better not stir trouble approaching her… what if they punish her for your mistake." The other acts patting Seokjin's back while he silent sobs looking out of the door.
"I just want to talk to her… once, please?"
"Okay, come with us." Jin was glad they let him talk to her at least once but the fear was eating him up.
Can she pass the night alone inside when the raining wasn't helping them either.
