Mansion Kang, Los Angeles.
"Wow, your house is larger than the one in Korea. You are a wealthy child, huh?"
"Yeah, where do you think Jang Lay can have 100 million dollars in one night?"
"Wow, your friendship is based on money but It lasts for a long time."
"I bribed him so we can be friends."
"Just a friend?"
"What do you think? We've something more than that?"
"I don't know, you tell me."
"It's true, I need friends a that moment, so that's how I find him."
"Don't say that. You don't seek for a friend, but seek for the protection and investment."
"You know what I'm thinking," Sunny smiled hearing what Sok-ji said, 'cause that was true.
The two of them had arrived at the Kang family mansion. Jack, one of her bodyguards is waiting at the door.
"Everything has been prepared, we've installed it in your study room, but it seems like it is directly connected to another network. Hope you have the passcode ma'am."
"I do have it. Thank you, Jack. You can go."
"Sure Ma'am, anything."
And now she's looked at Sok-ji as if is asking for an explanation.
"I asked Jae-young to give me some, and he got the point, you still have some too, right? earpieces."
"That's all Jae-young's equipment?"
Sok-ji nodded his head. "Don't be angry, that's equipment from your house."
"Gosh, what are they doing now? What do you want me to talk to them about? Sok-ji, I told you..."
"I know. I know. Just talk to them first and then you make your own choice."
"Hhh..." She signed.
Her breathing sounded heavy, it sounded like she was done doing this, and her legs didn't seem to want to move and go inside. It's not that she doesn't want to finish what she started 5 years ago.
But because she knew that now her best friend had to go through more or less the same thing as her, it made her hesitate. As children, even though they feel disappointed, they don't want to let their parents rot in prison.
So does Sunny. When she heard that her mother's sentence had been increased to 25 years, her intention was only to stop her. But now, her mother had to spend the rest of her life in prison.
She doesn't regret it but she's also not proud of what she did, and she doesn't want Jae-young to have to go through the same thing. Moreover, she didn't want anyone to get hurt because of this.
"Hei, look at me," Sok-ji pulled Sunny trying to look into her eyes which kept turning away.
But finally, she looked into his eyes which had been waiting for her.
"Do you trust me?" asks Sok-ji.
"I do trust you babe, but in this case, it's hurt so many people."
"I know the story. But you have to trust them. We don't know if they want to do this or not. Just talk to them first, make a decision."
"Fine… we talk first."
Sok-ji gives his hand, waiting to see whether Sunny wants to hold his hand or not. She starts to reach out his hand, and for the first Sunny finds peace in his hand.

Seoul, South Korea.
Jae-young took out a Tablet PC from his bag and opened a door in front of him. This is another exit from the basement of Sunny House.
"Keep going don't stop here."
The car went along slowly until they arrived at a dark room that seemed very spacious. Jae-young gets out of the car and the others get out of the car.
He turned on the light switch, there was a row of Sunny's luxury cars that had been hidden, Lay just shook his head looking at the cars.
"Did she start becoming a collector or what?" asks Tae-guk.
"Did you know he has all these cars and a basement?" Min-tae asked Lay.
"I do know about the basement, cause I'm the one who hired the architect to build this home. But I didn't know about all these cars, I just know that she loves luxurious cars."
Jae-young pressed the access code on a door. And when the door is opened it went straight into Sunny's house.
"You even had the access code," Lay can't even believe looking at Jae-young.
"Why don't we go through the front door?" Jong-gi asked.
"A few weeks ago I was here, I always looked at the CCTV, and it turned out that someone was watching this house, even though initially after the Sok-ji case there was no one watching, but after the last announcement, this house was being watched again."
"Does she know about that?" Lay asked.
Jae-young shook his head. "No, I can't tell her, she's busy over there."
Jae-young walks towards the room Sunny usually uses for work, where she has set up a control room and servers there.
"Hmm, it seems like it's busier than before."
"I moved the whole server here, me and her I thought there was nothing to hide anymore so I moved everything here."
"Can we talk about that thing now?" Jong-gi asked.
"What else do you want to talk about?" Jae-young asked.
"Don't talk to me like that, you know I still have one more file, and if I take that file out, you have to explain, not to me, but to your friends, Han Jae-young," said Jong-gi while looking at the person being talked about.
Jae-young was silent, he already knew this time would come, at first he thought he would reveal all this alone and they wouldn't need to know. He just doesn't want to be hated because of who he is.
"What this is about?" Min-tae asked.
Everyone involved in this case knows that Park Suwon has great resources. This is not only about Park Suwon, Sunny, Min-tae and Tae-guk. People who are involved in this situation are more than that.
5 years ago, after Sunny broadcasted that case, many things happened and they could not process what happened.
They can't make plans, and Min-tae can't even give a press conference because Sunny name has been blacklisted, not long after that.
Everyone knows, there's maybe an inside job—people in higher places who can pull something like that.
Now, suddenly NIS says that Jae-young had something to do with the case, even before they knew each other.
Jong-gi gives another envelope to Min-tae, and he takes out the envelope's contents. Min-tae tried to read it carefully.
When he read a name, he closed his eyes. "Is this true?" Min-tae look at Jae-young.
"Hyung..."
"Tell me what you know."
"I can't tell you all of it. But one thing that I know, is my dad's company is involved with Park Suwon, and maybe he has something to do with your accident."
"Even you know about it, when I brought you to my office, you didn't even say to me, that your father was involved with Park Suwon."
"Hyung... I didn't mean to but..."
Tae-guk takes the document and reads it, he doesn't believe it. "Soo-hee knows this?" Tae-guk asked.
"I never talked to her about it."
"She already knows. We accidentally know about it. When you first came to her shop, she told me to find out something about you, at that time, she thought that you were Lian. It's shocking for both of us. I could say that she was waiting for you to tell her," Lay explained.
"She waited for me to tell her that?" Jae-young asked
"After all she is your friend, and she never doubts her friend, even though Prosecutor Lee or Tae-guk don't want to meet her, she still finds a way to get news from them. She always knows what you're doing. Because inside, even though I was there with her, she was always lonely."
"Sok-ji, does he know?"
"At first, we didn't want people to know about your family conditions, you must have had reasons to cut ties with your father, but since NIS visited both of us, now he knows."
