Outside Ha-yoon's house, Nam-gil's car was still parked there, Ha-joon has managed to calm his boyfriend down, and the older man ended-up falling asleep in the passenger seat so Ha-joon got out of the car for a smoke.
As soon as Ha-yoon saw her brother pulling a cigarette, she left her house in a hurry and walked outside towards him.
"Ha-joon...don't smoke it's not good for your health." she said worriedly.
"Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?" He asked, "I smoke too, I know it's not good." She replied, "It fucked up my singing voice." She added.
"Fuckin hell you even smoke too..." He sighed and grabbed a lighter from his pocket to light his cigarette.
"Hyung..."
"I don't wanna hear it Ha-yoon."
"At least acknowledge my presence...look at me." She said.
"Listen you traitor, Nothing you'll say will make me forgive you, I've made up my mind." He replied
Sighing, "It's funny, when did you get this stubborn." She said.
"When did you become this pathetic?" He asked puffing some smoke deliberately in her face.
Angry, Ha-yoon slapped the cigarette off her brother's hand, and as an immediate reaction, Ha-joon shoved her.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" He tried his best not scream so he wouldn't wake his boyfriend, "Stop smoking!" Ha-yoon replied.
"Stupid bitch! Mind your business!"
"No you listen to me! Stop that shit unless you wanna die soon!"
"Our entire family smokes, and everyone is as fucking healthy as a horse!"
"I'm not!" Ha-yoon said angrily, "And unless you want your boyfriend to fucking outlive you when you're years and years younger than him, you better stop destroying your fucking body!"
Surprised, "What the fuck do you mean by 'I'm not?! What's wrong with you? Huh?" Ha-joon asked.
"It doesn't matter now, just stop being stubborn and throw the cigarettes while you still can." She replied before she decided to go back inside her house.
But Ha-joon decided to follow his sister, "Hey! Don't fucking ignore me, what's wrong with you!" He said.
But Ha-yoon refused to reply, she knew she was one step closer to bursting into tears so she just kept going until she made it to the front door.
Still behind her, "What the fuck! Hey! Talk to me damn it! Isn't this what you want?! You want to talk?! Talk! Tell me what you fucking meant when you said that?! Are you sick or something." Ha-joon asked.
Everyone else were still in the living room and they started to hear the commotion, "What's going on?!" Soo-Min asked.
"Hey! What's happening?!" Nikolai asked as well, "It's Ha-yoon and her brother arguing." Seong-min replied, "I still can't believe they're siblings." Cyrus said.
Jin was beginning to calm down, "Did Ha-joon leave Nam-gil all alone in the car?" He asked as Ha-yoon got into the room, her brother right behind her.
"Are You Sick?! FUCKIN ANSWER ME DAMNIT! HA-YOON?!" He screamed.
His words immediately alerted Seong-min and Cyrus, "YES!" Ha-yoon screamed back.
Everyone was now shocked, "I got stomach cancer motherfucker! Yeah I'm dying! I get to finally leave this shitty world!" She added before she ran off to hide in her room.
Ha-joon was stunned, he froze standing in the middle of the living room while Jin, Soo-Min and Nikolai were looking at him with wide eyes.
Cyrus decided to go follow Ha-yoon but as he did so, he glanced at Seong-min who seemed like she got over her shock rather quickly.
But He ignored his doubts and went to find Ha-yoon, she had already locked her door since he tried and couldn't get in, so in a desperate attempt, Cyrus knocked on the door and said, "Listen, I'm here for you! You don't have to be in there alone, let me in Ha-yoon."
"GO AWAY CYRUS!" Ha-yoon shouted from the other side, "Okay, but I'm not leaving the house Until you're ready to talk!" He replied.
Sighing, Cyrus decided to walk back to the living room, where he found Soo-Min waiting for him, she was standing and glaring furiously making him feel nervous.
"You knew, didn't you, you fucking brat! that's why you were acting so strange in the hospital!" She said, "Mom...it probably wasn't his choice to keep this from us." Seong-min interfered.
"What do you mean?! Also what the fuck is going on?! Why is everyone keeping life changing secrets?!" Jin asked angrily.
"Probably because they're life changing?" Nikolai replied anxiously.
"Knowing how curious Cyrus is, he probably discovered Ha-yoon's sickness by accident, and she must've made him promise her not to tell anyone." Seong-min replied.
"Princess how come you're not as angry as you should be?!" Soo-Min asked.
"I had a feeling it was serious... Ha-yoon was surprised when the doctor said it was just fatigue, almost as of she didn't expect the doctor to lie." Seong-min replied while looking at Cyrus, at that moment Cyrus realized that Seong-min knew all along, she must've witnessee him talk with the doctor and asking him to lie.
Sighing, "Alright...getting angry over this now is useless...hey Ha-joon, are you alright?" Nikolai asked, although he couldn't see it, he could feel that Ha-joon was shocked.
"Fuck...not even the universe would allow me to hate her..." Ha-joon mumbled.
"Shitload...seriously, this day couldn't get any worse." Jin uttered the forbidden sentence.
As soon as he said that, the doorbell rang.
"I'll go check." Cyrus said and hurried to the front door.
When he unlocked it, "Lydia?! Wait...how did you know I'd be here?" Cyrus asked.
"I took a guess...we need to talk." She said, "Now is not the time, I'm actually in the middle of something serious." He replied.
"More serious than us?"
"Unfortunately...yes, I can't really talk about it with you, it's a private matter."
"Then listen to me Cyrus, this won't take long." Lydia said with a serious expression.
Curious, "Alright, what do you wanna say?" He asked.
"I don't want to date you." She said.
"WHAT?" Cyrus was confused, "Why?! What happened?!"
"I know I'm not the best person out there, and I did you wrong for years by stalking you...but I don't deserve to be treated like a replacement.
I don't believe that you are over Ha-yoon, and I don't know why but I have this strange feeling that you only asked me out to fulfill a selfish goal.
I'm sorry if my doubts are not in their right place, but I just cannot do this to myself...I may be desperate for love, but in order to love someone else truly, I need to love myself first...
So I'm choosing myself.
I'm sorry, I cannot date you...I hope you also start prioritizing yourself a little, Cyrus." She said.
As Cyrus struggled to come up with a reply, Seong-min was few steps behind him, she heard everything and smiled to herself, "Wise words, sister...Good for you." she mumbled before she returned to the living room.
...Meanwhile...
At the post office headquarters and inside the creepy interrogation room, a banged-up looking man sitting on a chair, pleaded with Radka to let him go, "I told you...everything...please don't kill me." He was the second kidnapper guy whom Rushil attacked when he and Radka went to rescue Minnie.
But the man's face was beyond recognizable as Radka's girls punched the shit out of him, knocking most of his teeth, but now nobody was hitting him anymore, and he had just told them everything he knew about Soo-Min and Soo-Hee.
"Ugh..." Radka's expression was pure anger, "I still can't believe she was her sister!"
Rushil felt nervous, he knew his wife's temper and he knows she doesn't have a no-killing rule, Radka could just go right now to Soo-Min and put a bullet in her head if she wishes to.
"Listen Rad, calm down first..."
"Rushil don't fuck with me?! Calm down?! That viper was near our son this whole time and I had no clue!"
"Radka she's not just anyone, She the mother of Jin's sister.
We can't just barge in and grab her, so don't even think about it! We have to handle this carefully."
"This bitch must've been aware all the time and instead of telling us, she played dumb! God how stupid I was just thinking she's an innocent woman!"
"First of all, Her name is Soo-Min not 'This bitch', second of all she refused to kill Nikolai at least acknowledge that fact! She's definitely on our side and can you blame her for not telling you the truth?! The man just told us, Soo-Min had no idea that her sister was targeting Nikolai.
Her sister must've told her when they met the next day after they took Ha-yoon to the hospital!" Rushil said.
"Then where the fuck is her sister?! HUH?!" Radka asked.
"The kidnapper said Soo-Min is very much capable of fighting and protecting herself, if her sister was planning to kill her if she refused to kill Nikolai, I can only imagine she tried to kill Soo-Min and Soo-Min fought back.
She's alive and well at Ha-yoon's place as we speak, she must've gotten rid of her sister somehow!" Rushil replied.
"Well I'm gonna ask her that!" Radka said and walked out of the interrogation room, Rushil followed her quickly.
A girl hurried after Radka as well and asked her, "Madame, what should we do with the man?"
"Fuck, I forgot about his ass." Radka said and pulled out her gun.
"Good God woman stop! He could still be of use to us!" Rushil hurried after his wife as she walked back into the interrogation room, "He can't be anymore useful." She replied uninterested.
As soon as the kidnapper saw her carrying the gun in her hand, he stared crying loudly and begging Her, "PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME I SWEAR I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT YOUR GIRL! I HAD NO CHOICE I WAS IN DEBT I NEEDED THE MONEY TO PAY THE LOAN SHARKS!"
Still in her uninterested tone, "Oh really, what for?" Radka asked, "For My older brother...we lost our parents at a young age so he took care of me and our siblings.
He kept supporting us financially and had to give up on his dream to become an idol so he can feed us all...
He ended-up borrowing a lot of money from evil loan sharks...they threatened to kill him, boss lady knew so she hired me, I already payed half of the debt...she promised if I kidnap Miss Minnie Barlow, she would pay the second half!
If I die, she won't pay and she might hurt my family!" The man explained, "I'm begging you, don't kill me!"
"Jeez what a sad story." Radka replied pointing her gun at him.
"NO PLEASE!"
Desperate, "Radka, we can use him as a double agent! He can work for us!" Rushil suggested.
The man immediately began nodding, "Y-yes! Yes! I can work for you...please don't kill me I swear I'll be loyal! I can even get you information!"
"I gotta say, this offer is Tempting..." Radka said making the man smile in hope, "Unfortunately though, it's not tempting enough." She added before she shot him dead between his eyes, his blood splattered behind him on the wall.
Furious, "RADKA?!" Rushil yelled at her, "I'm sorry Rushil but he knew too much...there was no way he wouldn't turn on us the moment we release him." She replied, then turned to the girl who asked her earlier.
"Make sure to give his body a proper burial...and since we have his informations, locate his older brother and the rest of the family, pay the remainder of their debt and add some money on top as a gift.
Make sure they receive everything quietly just in case Boss lady could be watching them." Radka said surprising Rushil.
"On it Madame!" The girl replied smiling.
