Bora's POV
I was working as always when an unexpected guest comes in for some unwelcoming reason once again.
"Go away Cheoljin! I don't have the money and neither do my Mum or this cafe." I tell him right away. "Whose the cafe owner?" He asks me. "Can't you hear her well? Go away please" Inhye tells him. "Shut up woman!" Cheoljin tells Inhye off and I pushed him away.
"WHO ARE YOU TO TELL MY COWORKER OFF?!" I shouted back at him. "YOU-" He lunge at me and it turn into one new level of the extreme abuse he has always inflicted on me.
Junghwa's POV
I came back from the toilet to find an welcoming man hurting Bora and Inhye. I can't help feeling angry at the scene.
'What are with these cruel men always abusing women?' I think to myself before walking at the door and shouting in hopes for the brawl to stop.
"HEY!!"
I shouted at the man immediately stopped looking at me. "GET OUT OF MY SHOP!!" I shouted angrily at him. "SHUT UP WOMAN!!" He says and was about to lunge at me until he was kicked off by somebody I didn't expect to see.
I turned around to Pierre folding his arms and two guards behind him.
"What a rude person." Pierre says. "None of your business rich man!" The rude guy tells Pierre off before the guards immediately subdue him as quickly as they can while Pierre helps Bora, Inhye and myself up.
"Are you all okay?" He asks. "We are…alright" Bora says in broken English. "I can speak Korean. Rest assured." Pierre says in Korean.
"Thank you Mr De Hunt" I thanked him. "Thank you" Bora and Inhye also thanked him
"No worries. So what happened?" He asks. "He's my half brother Cheoljin. We share the same father." Bora explains.
"He's been wanting money from my Mum and I even though he's unemployed and doesn't have much education." Bora continues looking down sadly.
"And?" Inhye Asks. "Mum and I did what Dad told us to do, to hide any money but every time we did that, things has turn more physical." Bora answers
"Like today?" Pierre asks. Bora nods her head. "Does domestic cases get heavy penalties here?" Pierre asks me. I shook my head. "Not that I know of sorry." I said.
"No, murder cases normally get nothing." Inhye says. "Those convicted and appealed, do get their sentences reduced." I added on.
"Damn! This case is not going to be easy." He scratches his head saying. "So nothing will highly be done." He adds on. We nodded our heads. "Rest assured, I will make sure something is done." He tells us before abruptly taking his leave.
"Mr De Hunt! Mr-he's always like that." I was about to call him back but this guy mostly disappears as quickly as he appears
"Friend of yours?" Inhye asks me. I nodded my head. "He's my friend in the FBI. Hopefully he isn't here for other motives." I sighed telling her
"If he is it doesn't involve you." She tells me. "Precisely. You're already out of that life." Bora adds on.
I agree before asking them two if they got sustain any injuries from just now. They both shake their heads.
"Are you sure?" I asked them both still worried. "We're positive." They say at the same time. I nodded my head before they continue with what they're doing while I clean up some of the mess caused by the scene just now.
After a while, the counter staff comes in and orders a drink. "Did you hear some commotion?" She asks us.
"In here or." Bora asks. "Don't know. But there was some rich guy with 2 guards appearing." The staff says and I know right away she's talking about Pierre.
"I believe there isn't commotion here?" I scratched my head trying not to give Pierre away.
"I believe so." Inhye says. "That guy look so rich! I could fall in love with him instantly!" The staff excitedly says.
"Do you still need your latte?" I coughed a little asking the staff. She nods. I went to make her latte right away and she pays the money before leaving us three alone.
"Phew!" I sighed in a huge relief once she's out of sight. "Should we just call it a early day?" Inhye asks. "Let's just call it an early day! I can't bear the next person asking." I said agreeing before reminding the two not to breathe about what happened today.
They both nod and we wrap for the day. I headed back on my own to the apartment getting some rest and trying to also forget about today's events.
