Chapter 18 - Chapter -016-

Seo Chan who was lying on the sofa took a deep breath by directing his eyes towards the television.

"Hah, I'm so tired of staying in the apartment." Seo Chan complained as he stretched his arms upwards.

Seo Chan is now glancing his eyes at the clock on the wall which is already half past twelve in the afternoon.

"I'm hungry, but I'm too lazy to cook." Seo Chan complained again by pursing her lips in annoyance.

Now Seo Chan directs his eyes towards the ceiling of his apartment lounge.

"At times like this I want noona and the hyungs to come visit me and pamper me like before."

Seo Chan's eyes were tightly closed trying to neutralize his thoughts, listening carefully to the sound of the broadcast from the television, the sound of the air conditioner and also the sound of the clock ticking.

Seo Chan was silent for a while until the rumbling sound from inside his stomach sounded loud enough to make him frown deeply and immediately got up from his bed.

"Gaaahh! I'm so hungry! I can't stand it! I'm going out now!" Seo Chan exclaimed as he got up from the sofa and walked to his room to get a hoodie, hat and face mask.

After wearing a hoodie, hat and mask, Seo Chan stepped into the main door of his apartment to put on casual sandals and opened the door.

But just as he wanted to open the main door of his apartment, suddenly the main door of his apartment had opened first and revealed the figure of Ji Won standing in front of the door carrying a large paper bag in his right hand.

Ji Won, who just managed to open the main door of Seo Chan's apartment unit, raised an eyebrow when he saw a man wearing a hoodie, hat and black face mask standing right in front of him.

"Where do you want to go Chan-ah?" Ji Won asked but there was no response at all by Seo Chan who preferred to take the paper bag he brought and immediately walked into the apartment unit.

Ji Won, whose question was ignored by Seo Chan, could only sigh in resignation.

Meanwhile, two other men and one woman who are now behind Ji Won frowned in surprise when they saw the young man just silently standing in front of the open door of Seo Chan's apartment unit.

"JI Won-ah, why are you just standing here quietly?" Ask the woman who has now moved her head to see the situation in front of Ji Won.

Ji Won shook his head slowly.

"It's okay Sae Ra-Noona. Looks like we came at the right time. Because Seo Chan seems to be going outside."

The woman whose name is Sae Ra immediately rolled her eyes in surprise at Ji Won's words.

"What? Is that true? Thank goodness we came at the right time! I'll go inside first." Said Sae Ra who walked first into Seo Chan's apartment unit, leaving JI Won and two other men outside Seo Chan's apartment unit.

"Hyun Sik-hyung, Hae Bom-hyung, you guys go in first. I just remembered that I forgot to buy something at the convenience store earlier." Ji Won said looking at the two men who were now in front of him. Two men who have similar facial features to each other, but have different hairstyles.

Hyung Sik who has a slicked back hairstyle and Hae Bom who has a slanted sweep hairstyle.

The two men in front of Ji Won were silent for a moment before they nodded their heads together.

"Okay then. We'll be waiting for you to have lunch inside." Hae Bom said while patting Ji Won lightly on the shoulder before walking first into Seo Chan's apartment unit.

Meanwhile, now only Hyung Sik is standing in front of Ji Won. Ji Won can see Hyung Sik glancing into Seo Chan's apartment unit.

"Won-ah, may I leave you a cigarette? My cigarette was taken by Sae Ra-yah when she came to my study earlier." Hyung Sik asked with a slightly pitiful look on his face to Ji Won.

JI Won who saw Hyung Sik's pitiful face couldn't help but sigh in resignation.

"Okay hyung, I'll buy that for you." Ji Won answered which immediately made Hyung Sik change his face to be so cheerful.

"You are indeed the best Won-ah, compared to my four brothers and sisters!" Said Hyung Sik while patting Ji Won's shoulder.

Ji Won just nodded his head in response to Hyung Sik's words.

"But wouldn't it be better if you started quitting your smoking hobby hyung. Before Ji Hon-sajang-nim catches you smoking?" Ji Won asked who was answered with a dramatic head shake by Hyung Sik.

"You have to try Won-ah, they really are very delicious when your head is tired of thinking about so many things. So I won't stop eating them."

Ji Won chose to shake his head to reject the offer that Hyung Sik gave him.

"No thanks hyung. I don't want to get lectured and get scolded by Ji Hon-sajang-nim."

Hyung Sik who heard Ji Won's words laughed amusedly as he stretched out his hand to pat Ji Won's shoulder.

"You're so bad Won-ah! It's actually very adrenaline, playing cat and mouse with my father!"

Ji Won shook his head again. "I don't want to happily dig my own grave."

Hyung Sik has a small smile on his face. "Okay if that's what you want. I'll go inside first. You hurry back with what I ordered okay?"

Ji Won nodded his head in response to Hyung Sik's words.

After Hyung Sik walked into Seo Chan's apartment unit, Ji Won let out a long sigh.

"Of course I would prefer to continue on my current path of life. And never deviate from my path." Ji Won said in his own monologue and after that he immediately walked away from Seo Chan's apartment unit.

Unbeknownst to Ji Won, a man in a black suit was watching him from behind a wall not far from Seo Chan's apartment unit.

The man in the black coat pressed the communication device attached to one ear, to give information to someone who had sent him.

"Kwon-sajang-nim, I'm currently in Seo Chan-ssi's apartment unit building. Your three sons and daughters have entered the apartment unit, while Ji Won-ssi walked out of the apartment unit." Said the man in the black suit through his communication device.

Flip.

'Okay then, you keep a close eye on them and make sure no strangers are following them.'

The man in the black suit cleared his throat.

"Okay Kwon-sajang-nim. I will continue to monitor them."

After that, the man in the black suit entered one of the apartment units not far from Seo Chan's apartment unit.
