Gon contemplated on the idea of telling everything to Master Song…
Last time, he got super jealous when Miss called her father in this life 'Dad'. How will he react if he reported their ice-cream celebration and the picture? Thinking of which, Gon took out his phone and opened those photos.
Finally… he has a family picture…
He quickly sent both the photos to Su Yeon and then set the vertical one as his wallpaper. He took a mental note to take a photocopy and made a sweet photo frame.
He went to Master Song's study and reported the business-related information first. After their work was done, master Song asked, "Ahh, by the way, did you send off little dumpling well? It was her last day at our company."
"Master, did you know this? You were keeping an eye on young master Lufan these days,"
"Of course, how can I forget anything related to my daughter! I wanted to meet her just for a moment but somehow I couldn't."
"Master… actually I offered her an ice-cream treat after their farewell dinner, and Miss gladly accepted it…"
Master Song sat straight and squinted his eyes, "Again?"
Gon gulped. Just by telling till this, his master has already reached the peak of jealousy, what will happen if tell him that Lufan also joined them… leave alone the picture they clicked together…
Gon tightened his heart and told, "Also, young master joined us later--"
"Which young master? Hao, Qiang, or… Lufan?" Master Song interrupted him. His jealousy shot up when Gon tried to avoid eye contact.
Pin drop silence…
"I envy you," Master Song sighed and continued, "If you want forgiveness, tell me everything." Gon felt like a huge amount of weight is lifted from his heart. He narrated everything, even how he lied to Miss and how Lufan suspected him, but couldn't make himself tell about that picture.
Master Song said, "It's good you told like that, at least we can protect her without getting afraid of being caught. Ahh, be careful with Lufan, you can't lie to him for a long time." Gon nodded in agreement.
A few hours later, when Master Song finished his work, he decided to look upon his nephews. He sighed in relief when he saw Song Hao sleeping peacefully. He knew that Qiang too might be sleeping like a pig, but to his surprise, he saw that there was a small table light lit and Qiang was working with dedication. Many files were opened on the table and Qiang was constantly trying to figure out something.
Master Song smiled and slowly closed the door. He then went to the kitchen and made some coffee. He poured it in two mugs and went up to Qiang's room. After going inside, he knocked on the shelf beside the study table, "Our little master is working hard these days."
Qiang looked up and sighed, "Uncle." Master Song aka Uncle Song kept the coffee mug in front of him, "Do you need any help?" Song Qiang felt warmth in his heart, "Thank you, yes I couldn't understand these few figures."
Uncle Song took a quick look at some files and solved his doubt. Song Qiang got amused, his uncle solved the doubt in a few minutes on which he was racking his brain for the past one hour. Qiang sighed in relief and started closing the files. "Let me do it, you should take a rest now," uncle Song stopped him and started cleaning his table.
Qiang asked while sipping his coffee, "Where is brother? Did he come home?" uncle Song nodded, "Yes, he came late and was sleeping a few moments ago." Qiang got confused, "A few moments ago means?" uncle Song eyed him to look outside the door while keeping the files on the shelf.
Song Hao came inside the room and sat on the bed, "How did you notice me? It's impossible." Uncle Song offered his mug to Song Hao and sat beside Qiang, "Why it's impossible?"
Hao accepted the mug and asked while sipping the coffee, "Since when did you notice my presence?" Uncle Song replied with an obvious face, "When I came out of Qiang's room to make coffee for him. I thought you came out for water so I didn't bother, sorry I was busy in my thoughts."
Hao got surprised! As long as he remembers, his uncle was easy to get tricked. When they used to play hide-and-seek, his uncle couldn't notice them even if they were hiding near him. He stated, "But you couldn't find us whenever we used to play hide-and-seek. You were never this alert before…"
Again! Uncle Song made a mistake again! Being an Emperor as well as martial art practitioner in his last life, he was trained to be alert. All of his senses were trained to a great extent.
Because of this, he easily noticed that Hao was following him the moment he left Hao's room, but to make it sound genuine, he lied that he noticed him much time later. He didn't realize that Song Dae Hyun was this absent-minded.
He gave a weak smile, "Well, it turned out like that." They both realized that the most talkative person was silent for a long time. They both looked at Qiang, who was thinking something deeply.
Uncle Song got worried, "Qiang? What happened? Are you feeling unwell?" Song Hao chuckled, "Don't worry uncle, our little mouse is thinking a lot for a few days."
Qiang who was busy thinking about something looked at his uncle with a questioning stare. When he noticed worry in his uncle's eyes, he sighed in relief and kept his head on uncle Song's lap.
Song Hao shook his head and laughed, "Yes, you should sleep else your brain might get old quickly," and bid a good night to everyone. Uncle Song laughed and replied the same. He then started patting Qiang's head slowly.
Qiang asked in a slow voice, "y-you will not leave us, right?" Uncle Song amused, "What are you talking about? Of course I won't! Why would I leave my children!"
A single teardrop fell from Qiang's eyes, but he smiled, "Yes, no matter what, you are our parent!" and just like that he slept instantly.
When uncle Song heard the stable breathing, he carefully lifted Qiang's head and moved him on the pillow. He covered him with a quilt, turned off the lights and went out. He once again checked Lufan's location, which showed that he just reached his home. His little dumpling was also in her house. He sighed in relief after seeing all of his kids were sound and fine, and slept peacefully.
…
The second part of last semester started with full of energy and tension. Everyone was happy being reunited with friends, but as soon as they reached their respective classrooms, they were welcomed with tons of assignments and a 'gentle reminder' about final exams.
The lonely library started getting crowded...
The cafeteria which used to be full of laughter and bickering, slowly got converted into a meeting point...
The junk food on the table was replaced by laptops and books...
Su Yeon's work started increasing since she was in charge of doubts solving in their group. Simultaneously, she even visited Life Hospital to meet Wang Lufan a few times.
One day, while returning home, Su Yeon was listening her playlist and waiting for the subway. She put on the cap of her white hoodie since it was very cold. She went inside the subway and stood near the door even if there were plenty of seats available. She closed her eyes and listened the songs.
Just a couple of minutes later, she realized that someone stood beside her. She felt that presence doubtful so she opened her eyes a little bit and looked for them. Two men were standing not far from her. They seemed normal working people but something caught her attention. Again, she saw the spade mark on that man, but this time, it was on the inside of a finger.
Slowly, she pulled out the headphone plug. They didn't notice it since her hands were inside the hoodie pockets. Su Yeon carefully listened since they both were whispering to each other.
"…you should deploy that nurse; the doctor has already found about her…"
"…let's see till when he acts like a normal person, we should act directly…"
Su Yeon could hear very small pieces of their conversation. After a minute, when she realized that they stopped talking, she pretended to talk to someone over call and went to the next door.
The two men first didn't notice anything weird but later they doubted. They started chasing that girl but suddenly a crowd came in since the subway has stopped at a station.
They saw from the small gaps that the girl rushed to get off but suddenly looked back to check something. "Shit!" the man said and both of them quickly rushed out to follow her.
Su Yeon saw that the two men realized her trick and thus she started going through the crowded places. The two men were successfully reaching near her, just then someone stopped them from behind…
