Chapter 3 - House of memories

Sunny House, Gangnam.

Sok-ji leans against his car door as he watches a BMW stop in front of him. Sok-ji is in front of Sunny old shop, everyone knows that no one should approach her house alone.

Because the house must remain a secret or everyone will target the house, especially since the public knows that the house is empty because Sunny is in Los Angeles now.

"Not here, follow my car, we take another entrance," said Jae-young.

Sok-ji gets back into his car and follows Jae-young from behind.

They arrived at the basement. If Sok-ji remembers correctly, this is the basement of Sunny house.

"Why did you suddenly ask to meet?"

"So I can't ask for a meeting? Would you rather play at the prosecutor's office?"

"Yeah. You know that's not what I meant, don't say that."

"Yes, I know," Sok-ji sat on the sofa in her TV room.

He couldn't believe the house, which is always full of beer and everything, now feels quiet and cold.

"Hyung, I'm going to LA."

"Are you sure? She's busy over there."

"I know. Can I ask for some things?"

"You want to meet from a holiday right? Why do you need the equipment?"

"Just in case, can I?"

"Hmm. OK, I understand. When are you leaving?"

"I don't know. Lay's will take care of it."

"Okay, I'll prepare everything. You take the jet right?"

"I think so."

"Feel free to look, you must miss her so much."

Sok-ji looked at the blackboard left there. It hasn't changed since the last time he was in this house.

He went to the 2nd floor, where Sunny room was. Sok-ji gives himself time to sit on the bed while remembering what they have been through.

In front of the mirror on her dressing table, she has her photos and photos from her college days with Lay and Jin. There is one photo of him with a stranger.

Sok-ji could predict that it was Walter, Sunny childhood friend who had also become a CIA agent, Walter Higgins.

"His body is built differently, but for the face, I'm confident with myself."

"I never went to her room, I hope it's still the same as last time you were here," said Jae-young from the front door.

"It's still the same. You look after this house?"

"You can't possibly be seen here. And I have to find a new place for the server. Michael destroyed my house, remember?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that, but Hyung, you're rich."

"I am, I never said I don't have any money to buy a new apartment or house or build my home from scratch."

Sok-ji burst into a smile, it's rare to talk to him like this. He misses it. "So where have you lived all this time?"

"I still have an apartment. So at least I'm still safe. Sok-ji, I want to ask."

"Ask. What's wrong?"

"How long will you be there?"

"Honestly. I don't know. Hyung, don't worry, I'm not going there to look for trouble. I want to meet her."

"I know. I've finished tidying up. Shall we go out now?"

"Hmm. I have to go somewhere else too."

"Where to?"

"I heard he's back from New York."

"Oh him. So, go, be careful."

"Calm down. Hyung, thank you."

"Anything for you."

Seoul Hospital.

Knock.. knock…

"Come in."

"Hi, Hyung," said Sok-ji from the front door.

"Wow, how are you?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking how are you?"

"Oh yes? What are you doing here?"

"Lay asked me to go to LA."

Jin was silent, he understood what Sok-ji meant. "You know that I probably can't talk about his condition right now?"

"Hmm I know but I just want to know, is she okay?"

"She's fine, the operation went smoothly and Sunny is running the company."

"Hmm I see, do I need to be alert about something?"

"Yeah, be careful of Walter."

"Walter? Soo-hee's friend who is a CIA agent?"

"Hmm, apart from being a CIA agent, he is also Sunny childhood friend and he also knows Michael and what happened with her family."

"Then you mean I should feel threatened by him?"

"Not to feel threatened but know who you should be wary of."

"Okay, I get that, thanks Doc."
