Sung-Ho:)
The next morning, I woke up with the sound of alarm next to the bed, while stretching and yawning I noticed the figure of Justin standing with the support of the door, slung open.
Showing him my disgust looks, I hurriedly got up from the bed to follow the morning routine.
While I was filling the space between me and the bathroom with steps, his voice deterred me from putting any further steps.
"Did you ask about that guy from her brother?"
I turned around to catch his presence insight, for a moment I hung around silent, just looking at his face.
"Yes, he's under custody and I couldn't ask much before," I explained to him.
He nodded while transmitting out of the room. But wait for a minute, 'Was he ready for work?' I thought and stepped on it to notice the time which shocked me when it showed 11 am.
"Shit!" I were foul-mouthed and got inside the bathroom.
* * *
After upholding an hour,
We both were tuning on the dining table while muttering over some business work.
Meanwhile, some notification sounds interrupted us.
I held the phone to attain the messages, but when I paid a little more attention to the person texting me.
"Mr Seo-Jin," I mumbled, which got the attention of him, Justin.
"What happened? Why these wide eyes?" he grew impatient wanting to peek at my phone to catch a glimpse of that person.
"What is it?" he passed the question.
I looked up to match the connection of our eyes, and he hoisted his eyebrow to know the situation, I was in.
"Umm...Mr Seo texted me," I said
"Hm, what?"
"I'm sorry and thank you for saving my daughter's life. I owe you," I repeated the words he just texted me.
"What?" he stood up from the chair, composing the thud sound by smashing the table with a fist.
I flinched and gave him what's-wrong one look.
"Is she means your love, is the daughter of him, Mr Seo?"
I couldn't catch the intention of why he behaved that way, either his actions.
"Yes, but why are you behaving that way?"
"Oh Man, I didn't know that,"
"Hey, are you stupid?"
"What?"
"You know already, I told you before, maybe you need to strengthen your memory," I let out annoyed.
"Oh?"
I nodded.

•Police Station
Ji-Hoon:)
"Mr where is that guy from the night?" I couldn't think of any work before going to the station to get to know about the person, whom he was encompassed.
"Here, Sir," he whispered and I heeded him behind, waiting for the room to come.
Once we surpassed, the policemen unlocked the lock and petitioned to get inside.
I nodded and did the same.
"Surprise?" I said out in a sarcastic tone to which he didn't acknowledge, might be because of so much torture he got last night.
He diminished his head and prevailed silent until I arrive at his end.
Gripping his hair, I compelled him to look right into my eyes. For once, he hissed but not for long, glancing at his state, I discovered so many bruises on his face, neck, and must on his whole body.
"See, it's as simple as you think, tell me the name and I will let you go!" it was like a business deal.
"Do you think that I will tell you?" he said.
"Ah, you won't," he shook his head which smouldered my anger even more.
"Get inside!" I didn't want to beat this bastard with my hands, so I called one of the policemen to get inside and teach him a good lesson.
Without telling him what to do, he welcomed him with the punch on the face, stomach and he fell, turned into a ball while covering his stomach with an awful expression.
"Better tell now otherwise I won't guarantee that you would get out of here on your legs," I said while getting pissed off by his behaviour of not disclosing the person's name.
Instead of letting me know about the individual, who dared to send him there, he chuckled, totally shameless.
"I may die but won't let you know," he said and that's when he was stricken by the hard metal on his knees.
Still not letting put the name.
"I won't leave the place until you tell," I whispered by slapping him hard on his face.
Such a shameless bastard.
But again I got the same salience from his side.
"Stop," I said to the policeman.
"Find about his family and whatsoever, alright?"
He nodded.
"What you gonna do with them?"
"That's the secret undercover, but mind my promise that I won't tolerate someone disrespecting my sister whether it's you or somebody else," I said loud enough to let him know what it meant as a warning for him and left the place.
Climbing inside the car, I dialled the number of Ari.
"Hello?"
"Hey, what's up? Did he tell you?" I knew what she meant by.
"No, he isn't even after getting beaten by man,"
"Oh, so what are you gonna do?"
"Where are you?"
"Work,"
"Alright, I'm coming, bye but won't let Jin-Ae know, okay bye,"
I hang up the call and drive off in the direction of the company.

Jae:)
I needed to meet him, otherwise, I couldn't imagine my future. I know Ji-Hoon would be driving crazy to know about that person and by any chance, he found out then I could see my end here. So, just to get over these negative scenarios in my head.
"I need to look after him," I mumbled to myself, in addition, I grabbed my purse to get out of the company with some defence, I know I would be missing out on an important meeting just in a matter of hour but nothing sounded much important to me than saving my life in advance.
Checking out around me while I got away from the crowd made me inhale some air of relief.
"Yeah, let's get out as early as possible," again mumbled to me.
While I was pitching the steps, I touched the entrance of the office, but when swerved to the right, I witnessed that his eyes met mine.
"Ji-Hoon?" whispered slowly, he ate like a horse in the space with the clicking sound of his shoes.
He boosted one of his eyebrows in my direction, asking me if something was wrong.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked, pretending to sound normal as usual to the days.
"Where are you going?"
"Just forgot to bring the files at home, so gotta go to catch them before meeting starts," I put up an excuse, might be he would believe me.
"Where is Shik?"
"Busy with his stuff, that's why I chose to get myself," I lied again.
"Oh, wait for a little," he said while taking off his phone, who might be preferring to address someone regarding the facing issues. However I prevented him not to call out someone for help, and if he did then I would not be able to make it up to the station.
"Hello? Shik?"
"Hey, sir?"
"Are you busy with something?"
"Umm..no but while being in the meeting room, would be minding if everything is all set," he said.
"Alright, get out near the parking lot,"
"Okay, sir,"
He said and hang up the phone, and we panned out continuing for him to show up. And after a matter of minutes, he came in front.
"Yes sir?"
"Get her file, she forgot at home, " he said, pointing at him.
"Which file? Mam?"
"Umm...the file I went through in the morning at home, regarding annual data of a company,"
I knew I was fibbing and he would take hold of me but I was left with no option to get out from here.
"Sorry, but I just checked all the files, and I arranged them well in the conference room," he said and the next thing was to face guilt, pretending the fact that I forgot about it.
"Oh, I thought I forgot," I counterfeited the laugh and flipped to get inside the office, holding an angry expression.
* * *
"Shik?"
"Yes, Sir?"
"Keep an eye on her actions, and inform me,"
He nodded.
He worked well from the time when he failed to stay in the company of her, and I warned him which led him to be the one trustworthy man for me.
"Let's go,"
___________
She was applauded for the work, she presented in front of the business holders.
And we sealed our business deal with dinner tonight in a hotel.
With a handshake, at last, those dealers went away.
"Ji-Hoon?"
"Yes, dad?"
"Follow me to my office?"
He nodded
While Jae eavesdrops on their conservation and thinks of pursuing them behind.
The door was fastened at her face which made her slink. Due to that, she wasn't able to overhear their conservancy.
"F*ck!" with that she went off from the space.
"Did you go to the police station?" He asked.
Before speaking up, he grabbed some rest on the chair.
"Yeah, I went,"
"Then?"
"He didn't tell the name but I found out the way to persecute him mentally, maybe he would let out that way," he told about the happening, just a few hours previously.
"What way?"
"His loved ones,"
"What are you talking about? Ji-Hoon, Are you serious? You can't do that?"
"I know, dad. I won't but I'm trying to threaten him, just this, I am not hoping to harm somebody. You can trust me on that," he said worthy words, which meant meaningful to his dad.
He too knew that he would never harm anybody just to pull on the past grudges.
"That's good," his dad said with a smile.
He nodded.
"Dad? Did you notice mom's actions from the morning, it seems that something is wrong with her?"
"That is always with her, so don't pay much attention over her unless she pulls out something on my daughter,"
He nodded.
