"So you were forced to be a bully...is that what you're trying to tell me?"
"Moses was an idiot...he was so lonely and desperate for attention, power, and to have an Entourage that shakes whenever he walks into the room.
He was a piece of shit, But I thought he was my friend! I did everything he told me to do, I was desperate, scared and as idiotic as I can be.
And no matter how much I want to blame Moses for everything, I wasn't a good person either.
people will remember that I did everything he asked me with a smile, because I was afraid that people were realizing I'm scared and they would come for me.
Since they can't take down Moses nor Flint, both of them rarely showed any emotions or fear, but I was a wreck! and I was afraid that those who can't bite Moses will come bite me.
So I tried to be tough, and stayed by his side thinking that if I belonged into the powerful side of the equation, I'll be alright." Rudy explained.
"Jesus fucking Christ I don't know what to make of this... I know you told me to just stay quiet, but Rudy do you have any idea what you're just telling me?!" Blake said in disbelief.
"Now you know why Margaret wants us to break up.
And like I said she's right, I tried to run away from my past, and I thought it was just some silly high School nightmare that I managed to escape.
After attending Julian's funeral, I cut ties with Moses and Flint, and I tried to straighten my act.
I did whatever I could to be the new Rudy Bay, the one who actually helps people instead of sending them to the morgue."
"I don't know how Margaret dug up your past... but you could have lied and broke up with me using any excuse! why are you telling me the truth?! I can tell you're not lying Rudy."
"Cuz I seriously love you...I fucking love you, and I actually was planning to propose to you this week.
But I guess your daughter will never accept us, and I just don't want you to be on bad terms with her, so don't blame Margaret or yourself okay?...And she's right you shouldn't end up with someone like me."
"Hold on a minute! you're not seriously breaking up with me...Are you?!"
"I am, this is the end of you and me Blake... and it's because I've decided.
I know I'm being selfish this way, but I fucked up bad, so I can't stick around, the only way I've ever known how to deal with my own problems, was to run away.
I see no other solution here, you shouldn't be with someone like me, your daughter doesn't have to deal with someone like me, so let's just consider this a passing fling, so both of us can move on, at least you can move on." Rudy said doing his best put a smile on.
"Rudy did you by any chance consider my opinion about this?! what if I don't want to break up with you." Blake said taking him by surprise.
"I just told you my actions pushed somebody to suicide!"
"I heard you and I believe every word you said, but I can tell you weren't The Mastermind... I've always knew something was wrong because whenever I asked you about your past, what kind of person you were, you always kept that part hidden from me.
you showed me nothing but the sweet side of you, I was the one always complaining about my job, the one always having bad days, and the one who's tired, when you just kept smiling cheerfully to my face.
I don't think you're lying about being a bully, but I know you're also not lying about straightening your act, I know you're a good person now Rudy!...And despite it may not be my business, nor it would wipe all of your sins, I forgive you for not telling me before." Blake said.
"Okay is this guy a fucking Saint?! where did Rudy find him?!" Cyrus on the other side was baffled by Blake, "Now I know why I felt the jitters...I was so focused trying to take Rudy down, I forgot that by breaking them apart, I was hurting Blake more than Rudy! And Blake doesn't deserve this." Seong-min replied.
Meanwhile Rudy was so consumed by his emotions of surprise and gratitude, he began sobbing loudly, throwing himself in the embrace of his boyfriend who have hugged him with welcoming arms.
"This is really bad Min! if Blake confronted his daughter about this, I'm sure Margaret is going to sell you out." Cyrus said to Seong-min.
Seong-min had a blank expression on her face at first, but then she shrugged showing no interest, "So what? let her expose me, I couldn't care less! I doubt that would happen in the first place...and if it did, I don't run from my problems not anymore.
So if my image was ruined for mister Sheldon, that's just the price I pay for my actions." she replied.
"I take it back you're not just abnormal, you're a crazy bitch."
Frowning, "Took you long enough to realize I'm a bitch... but guess what? I'm a bitch that doesn't like to deal with couples...I know shit like this backfires." Seong-min replied, she can finally see the real face of Cyrus, his mask was cracking under the pressure of their failed attempt at ruining Rudy's relationship.
"Ha-yoon, she warned me about you." Cyrus said, "But I was blinded by hope, when she said we have the same targets." he added.
"She warned me about you too Cyrus, if I'm a crazy bitch, you're a homicidal maniac."
"At least I get rid of my targets, not help them get married."
"Murder isn't my style and pushing people to kill themselves is not either, because pushing people to suicide is just as murdering them."
"You led me on with this plan Seong-min, I thought we were thinking the same thing."
"I wanted to see how far are you going with this revenge Cyrus with my eyes, I'm surprised you cracked so quickly, I was planning to make this go on for a few days.
how tragic...but now I think about it, maybe Ha-yoon was right about this, I should just step away from this partnership.
I knew it but now seeing it with my eyes...We're not only hurting our targets, but we are hurting innocent people, and today we brainwashed a girl to ruin her father's life." Seong-min replied.
"What we're doing is giving them a taste of their own medicine, an eye for an eye... I should have realized I made the biggest mistake asking you to be my partner." Cyrus said Grunting.
"Oh really?! you made this look like an awesome adventure, but wanted me to tag along because you needed financial support and you knew I could provide it for you.
From day one which is literally yesterday, you never wanted me as a partner and to think it didn't take so long for us to have our first fight as partners and expose each other."
"Seong-min...You!... this wasn't a revenge, this was a test! you were testing Rudy and me."
"Listen bro, I'm going to do my own background check on the other two, and I will decide if they deserve revenge or not.
If the other two had their act straightened just like Rudy is, I will pull my hand from this...but if they were as bad as they were in the past, only then I will strike again.
And as for Rudy, I'll give you a fair warning, don't mess with him anymore... I can't believe you want people to Die the same way Julian did."
"Fucking hell...so you're saying, you're not going to be my partner but my enemy? you know I don't need your money, if I wanted money I could get it from somebody else! do you really know who I am or what I'm capable of! do you think I won't hurt you? you know too much already." Cyrus said threatening.
"Try it then! it seems like you realized I'm a bitch quickly but you didn't realize I'm a boss too, and a boss bitch doesn't get scared by cowards like you." Seong-min said.
"I was fooled by your innocent smile, and your act of kindness! can't believe I believed you when you said let's be friends, you just wanted to see how far I am willing to go for revenge to stop me." Cyrus said, "My crime is that I am my father's daughter, and you have absolutely no idea how our family is big on conspiracy, and setting each other up... but I'm also my mother's daughter, and my mother doesn't believe in fixing wrong with wrong." Seong-min replied smirking.
"Now I understand what Ha-yoon meant by you've met your match."
"I'm flattered that she thinks I'm good enough of a match for you, and I have a feeling we're going to butt heads even more in the future.
After all, I am taking your place in her house now and I know how much that bothers you, Cyrus."
"I'll give you a fair warning, if you stand in my way not only I will hurt you, but just like you said it, I'm ready to hurt anyone around you that includes your brother, Nikolai and..."
"Ha-yoon? can you really hurt the girl you like Cyrus?"
"Yeah I'm willing to go that far, and how far are you willing to go to stop me Seong-min?"
"As far as you are going to go, just to stop me."
"Do you realize you might be protecting the very people, that ruined Your brother's life? do you think Nikolai is going to like this?!"
"Nikollai-ssi might hate those three, but I think he will agree with me that revenge in your fashion, is nothing different than murder.
Your technique of destroying your Target's lives and pushing them to kill themselves is admirable in a way, because it takes a lot of dedication to do that and you need a heart of Steel too.
but I wonder if Julian could see what you're doing? how sad is he going to be knowing his boyfriend became the same shit as the bullies that ended his life."
"First of all using your logic, all the three of them are murders then, and you don't get to speak about my Julian!"
"Pathetic."
"Okay you asked for it, game on bitch."
"I don't plan to play with children so Now if you excuse me, it's time I stop playing the role of a helpless innocent girl!" Seong-min said standing up, "See you later Cyrus, and make sure that your dad does those tests, his health is indeed looking bad." She added before walking away.
...Meanwhile...
"Do you think your sister wants revenge on those three?" Nikolai asked, "It's a likely possibility but...my sister isn't the kind that would hurt people blindlessly." Jin replied.
"Okay, I don't get it so explain?"
"You see, she's not the kind of person that would just seek mindless revenge."
"You guys seem close enough to know a lot about each other despite being from different mothers and living Oceans apart from each other." Nikolai said.
"That's right we're siblings after all...her mom is a very nice woman." Jin replied.
"Speaking of mothers? where is your mom? I mean does she know how dangerous your job is and everything?" Nikolai asked.
"If you like, I'll take you to see her tomorrow." Jin replied in a sad tone.
Clueless, "We got to explain to the poor woman what kind of situation we're in now, so Yeah." Nikolai replied.
"I doubt she'll care Niko."
