DFK Building, Los Angeles.
"Ma'am, are you looking for me?" someone came into Sunny's room after she asked someone to her office.
"Oh, Jack, go to this hotel, bring everything, you know what you have to do," Soo-hee hands him a hotel access card.
Jack took the access card and looked at it carefully. "4 seasons hotel? How many?"
"Maybe around 3 or 4, keep it quiet, after that bring it to the mansion."
"Ok, I get it, ma'am."
"Hei, my car key!" Sunny shouted.
"Ma'am you know you can't drive on your own, I've told Zax, and he is waiting for you in the basement."
"Fine…"
Sunny glanced back at Sok-ji who had been staring out the window, she hugged him from behind, trying to take away the warmth that had been lost for a long time, which she had never felt for almost 6 months.
Sok-ji pulls Sunny's hand letting her hug him deeper. But since earlier he had been suspicious of one thing. Because he had seen how thick the bulletproof glass was on her car back in Seoul.
Now he could tell the difference.
"Sun, I want to ask."
"Just ask."
"Your office is on the top floor. Why do you use bulletproof glass? I also noticed when you were in the lobby earlier, they closed half the windows, and you weren't even allowed to approach the door," Sok-ji stopped for a moment.
"Are you being targeted?" Sok-ji continued.
Sunny let go of her hug, she stood up while leaning on her desk, meanwhile, Sok-ji turned to look at her. In a split second, Sunny knows there must be something that made him like this, and maybe she is the reason.
"Tell me what's wrong?" Sok-ji tries to convince Sunny.
"Last month, I was working here, right at this hour, suddenly there were shots from the building opposite. 3 times, I wasn't injured but the building was in chaos. After that incident, all the glass here was replaced."
"Sniper?"
She nodded. "Hmm, 9mm bullets, military-grade, until now I don't know who did that."
"You didn't report it to the police?"
"You think I won't? SWAT is all over the place until I call Walter and the CIA is handling the case. I know this is not Seoul, once I took a wrong step, many people's lives would be destroyed, being careless that not what I do now."
"Oke, oke calm down. haven't they found anything?"
"That's not the can't find anything about the weapon. But a gun that uses a 9.00mm bullet isn't just one weapon."
"So they still doing the ballistic?"
"Yeah, and even already know the weapon, we need to confirm if it was illegally purchased or not."
"But you said military grade."
"Yes indeed. But you also understand what it means to understand if I say something like that."
"You say you are not reckless but why am I impressed to see you looking for trouble with the government?"
"It's like I want to make a mess with the U.S. government. But I can't let myself always be a target."
Sunny tugged at the hem of the clothes she was wearing, her gaze was different now, even though the debate on the case was not finished, she preferred to do something else.
"Hey, this is the office, don't mess around."
"I'm not playing around. Who told people first that you were my fiancé?"
"Are you serious about discussing it here?"
"Why not?"
Sok-ji gives in. He sits Sunny at the table and he lifts her little face and kisses her gently.
"Your mother's problem is over, PJ's problem is over and my problem is over, and you teasing me right now?"
"I'm sorry babe. I have to do many things at once, and if I show too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it, and I can't bear to see you hurt."
"And you think, I wasn't worried when I found out you got stabbed at the airport? I even wanted to fly here, but I won't. I know you have to get through that to win."
"I'm so sorry. I promise it won't happen again, whatever happens, we will do it together."
Sok-ji looked at Sunny gently, he stroked the cheek of the woman in front of him gently, as if he was too rough he would hurt her, and he would lose the woman he loved.
She slowly took off her jacket and unbuttoned her shirt. Sok-ji, who saw this, immediately grabbed her hand to stop her.
"Hey! I told you not to be crazy, we're at the office," said Sok-ji.
"Even though this is the office, it's still mine, so I'm free to do whatever I want here."
"Listen to me, don't be like this," asked Sok-ji.
She got down from the table away from Sok-ji, and feelings of annoyance and shame within her seemed to overflow, she wanted to get angry but she held back, the current situation made her hot, in fact too hot for her to let go.
The man didn't even want to touch her because they were in the office. This hot blood couldn't even be suppressed, she had no choice but to re-button her shirt.
Sok-ji smiled, a situation like this was a rare situation, when else would he be able to prank Soo-hee like this, he knew and he understood the desire that had been hidden for a long time because he felt it too.
He wasn't the only one who was holding back the hot blood, Sok-ji was the same, he was trying his best to hold it in because he didn't want to do it now, especially in this place where who knows when someone would enter without permission, all he could do now was.
Hugging the upset woman. He hugged her tightly and stroked Sunny's arm slowly, he deliberately breathed in her ear, making her moan silently, how did Sok-ji know, because she tilted her head.
Sok-ji kisses her shoulder trying to soften the hard shoulder. His efforts were not in vain, those shoulders began to relax, and it was time to turn her body so they could look at each other.
Sok-ji smoothed Sunny's hair again then stroked her cheek gently.
"Don't be angry anymore, we have a lot to do, including proposing to you properly. We have to be able to finish everything within 3 months, we don't have much time, okay?"
"Can't it be longer?" Soo-hee asked.
"The sooner we solve problems, the more time we can spend together."
For 6 months they never greeted each other, you can imagine how much they miss each other. The two of them only greeted each other with the news in the media.
The two of them appeared in print and online media as if greeting each other by saying, look, I'm okay, don't worry. Sok-ji tries not to worry and tries to believe that everything is over.
When they think the threat is over but turns out it isn't, it's frustrating. He didn't know when it would end, so he determined himself to accept what would happen and continue with it.
"Sunny."
"Hmm, why?"
"You want us to never be apart again forever?"
"Hmm, I want to, 6 months is enough for me to refrain from being with you, and that's enough for me, I don't want to lose you. Not anymore."
Sok-ji lifts her body and brings her work shirt back. Sok-ji kissed her shortly then smiled at the woman.
This woman has classy charisma and is even difficult to find. When he managed to place this woman in his arms, he didn't want to let her go again. The answer that she gave, calmed him down.
Both of them knew what it was like to lose and knew how difficult it was to have a good relationship and he was willing to maintain that until the end.
At that moment he understood, that this was the end and also the beginning, of his new life.
"Thank you so much, Sun," said Sok-ji then kissed him.
"Don't overdo this at the office," Sok-ji tries to remind her.
"I don't care."
Sunny grabbed Sok-ji's face again and kissed him continuously, the longing that had been suppressed for so long could no longer be contained.
"Sun!! What are you doing!?" Someone barged into the room, immediately stopping the kiss between the two of them.
"I swear I will kill him after this."
Sok-ji looked at the man in front of the door of the room while continuing to restrain Sunny from turning around.
He straightened her clothes and her hair, Sok-ji took out a hair tie and tied her hair, while his eyes never left the man.
Sok-ji helps Soo-hee get off her desk. She wants to turn around but Sok-ji holds her back. "Wait a minute," said Sok-ji.
"Seriously?"
Sok-ji took her jacket that she had thrown earlier and put it on. "You're the head of a company, do you want to meet people so messy?"
"Mm… Makes sense."
Sunny turns around and it turns out, that the one who barged into the room, is Milton. "What is it? Do I lower the company's shares?"
"Who is he? Gerard said you were running around, Jack also called me. You broke protocol and went down to the lobby. Sun, you know we're still at war, what are we gonna do if you get shot again?"
"I'll stop you right there. First I'm not stupid, I know we are still at war. Second, you know I'm not that easy to kill. Third, this is my fiancé, Sok-ji Kim."
"Fiancé? Are you kidding me?"
"She's not kidding, who are you?"
"One of the directors here, Milton."
"So, he is the one from The Five?"
Soo-hee nodded. "They're running the company more than I do, so yeah, I hate to accept but, they have the right to be mad at me."
"Yeah I know, I get it, but I don't like his tone when he's talking to you," said Sok-ji while holding back his annoyed breath.
"What do you want?" Milton asked.
"Let me get this straight. If you are now working under Sunny you need to remember everyone important to her. Han Jae-young, Lee Min-tae, Yang Tae-guk, Jang Lay, and me. You better know your boss' life before you ask me who I am and who are Sunny's friends," said Sok-ji.
"Wow, Sok-ji... "
"Sun, Jack is on the way to the mansion," Danny walked into the room.
Sok-ji takes Sunny bag hanging near the wall and gives it to her.
Two of them walk out of the office, but Milton holds her hand. Sok-ji who saw this was very annoyed and looked at Milton with a cynical look.
"We need to talk," he said.
"Can you let go of my fiancé, sir?" Sok-ji asked irritably.
"I'm not talking to you. Sun, we need to talk."
"Then talk."
Sok-ji stares at the two of them, but somehow Sok-ji feels that he should leave, not be there to bother them.
He wasn't stupid, he knew his presence was unwanted and it was likely that their conversation shouldn't be heard by anyone else, maybe it was a company secret or maybe it was Sunny's family problem.
"You guys talk, I'll wait outside."
Sunny knows if Milton wants to talk it must be important, but the way he talks to Sok-ji, she doesn't like it.
"Why? Are they moving again?"
"Walter didn't tell you? Jacob went to see Madam Kei."
"Then where is the problem? She can meet anyone, right?"
"Okay, if you don't care about Jacob. But Kenric and Erlan? You know how much Kenric hates you."
She sighed. "Indeed, even now I still can't understand why he hates me so much."
"The three of them consider Madam Kei to be their mother, whereas you, her biological child, actually got your mother arrested by the CIA."
"I'm his biological child, yes, but I was the one who had gone to Seoul and then my mom said that I was dead! They even made me a funeral complete with a memorial. What should I do to them? Put them to jail? This is not Seoul, I'm not the police."
"I know. But Sun, don't you think that the sniper incident last month could have been their doing?"
"For one to another, yes. Maybe it was their doing but on the other hand, I think it wasn't them. CIA said the rifle might be from the Military. So I think it was someone else."
"You think you're being targeted?"
"Being targeted by government organizations has become my daily routine when I'm in Korea, so I'm not that afraid, if it's the government that's targeting me, at least I want to know the reason, so I can defend myself."
"You have no fear, aren't you? Be careful, we don't know what else will happen next."
"You guys are too scared, close the windows, won't let me in out from the lobby."
"You know it wasn't just my decision, the board thought it was safer that way."
"Safe? If I've been targeted there's no safe place for me. Even Sok-ji knew before I talked to him."
"He knows? Did someone tell him?"
"You think someone will tell him? Walter just hates him, Michael? He hates Michael. He judged by the way the bodyguard treated me and also saw the blinds in the lobby and he even knew that when he saw the glass behind me, he knew that it was bulletproof."
"Yeah, do you realize what you said about him?"
She froze, she just realized what she's been saying about Sok-ji. She started to remember what happened when they were in Seoul. He even knew beforehand when he was being followed on the road.
This is strange.
"Okay, I won't burden your mind any more than this. Don't forget there are lots of paparazzi here, be careful, he's an actor in Korea and you are also quite famous here. Your relationship hasn't been revealed to the public yet, right?"
"Hmm, I'm trying to be careful, but this surge can't be contained," said Soo Hee with a smile. "I'm going bye!"
"What a mess."
