"Protocol? What protocol do you mean?" Min-tae asked.
"Are you serious?" Jae Young asked.
"Sun, you better think about it before you talk," said Lay.
"Can anyone explain what this human means?" Tae-guk asked.
Sok-ji pulls Sunny's arm, making her turn to look at him. "What do you mean by protocol? Answer me."
But Sunny let Sok-ji's hand go. "Lay, I know what I'm doing. So, do what I ask, pack and back up everything, and move everyone to K-4, now."
"What does this mean? Why do I feel like this is not a good thing?" Tae-guk senses that something is strange. He knew Sunny wasn't the one to do things without preparation.
Lay massaged his forehead which had been tense since she mentioned the protocol.
"Wait, Tae-guk, Min-tae sorry I have to get you guys out of this room, also you, Jae-young, let me talk to her for a moment."
"You talk to her, I know what she means, if she does this for real, it won't be good, either for JL Enterprise or DFK," said Jae-young.
"I know, so let me talk to her."
Jae-young escorts the two of them to leave the room, at least there is still one person who can clear that stubborn human's head.
Jae-young knows exactly what is meant, and when this person uses this way to go home, this shows too much what she wants.
And that was strange, for him. Because what he knows is that Sunny never wants to attract public attention.
Lay sat in front of the screen trying to digest what his best friend wanted. No matter how you look at it, this is not good.
"Zax, get out of this room now," said Soo Hee.
"Ma'am you know I can't."
"Let him be Sun, we need to talk, and you too, Sok-ji."
"Can you tell me what is going on here? What protocol?"
"The only protocol in this house is to activate all the detonators located throughout the foundation of the house, are you sure?" Lay tried to confirm that one more time before this happened.
Because once they do this, they will attract everyone's attention.
"You want to blow up your own house? Sun what are you thinking?" said Sok-ji irritably.
"You know, this is the first time you call me Sunny, and for you Lay, this is what I want, we need to blow that house down!"
"For what? Explain to me!" Lay shouted.
"Lay, you are the one who knows well why we need to blow that house. The blueprint of that house shouldn't be known by anyone, the more people know, the more dangerous it is."
"I can understand your concern. After that? You don't think about what will happen next."
"I already told him that I will help him, and I need a divergent to come home."
"I know, I know about that, but, if this house explodes, how about the market? How will you explain this to them? This is not about you anymore, Sun, this is about everyone."
"Lay, sometimes we need to go down to go up, therefore we can't let the K-4 empty. We need to run that business."
"Business?" Sok-ji now doesn't understand where the conversation between the two of them is going.
"You think this is the right time? You or we, apparently have cases to run, and you concern about business now?"
"This is the right time, the only way I can go back home."
"I don't know how to convince you of this whole situation, but if you said so. Fine, then do it."
"Wow, wow, wait a minute, babe, we need to talk," said Sok-ji.
"You guys talk, I will talk to the others."
If he had to choose, Lay wouldn't want her to do this protocol, but, he knows well if they were always under the shadow, they would hurt and no one knows about it.
Now, even if they're not an official member of the Special Team, people who have the authority know about them working together, and they can fight back if necessary.
Not like before, they can't fight back, now they can fight back.
Lay opened the door to the room, he deliberately didn't let the three of them in because the two people had to talk and he also had to explain the situation to the others.
A crazy plan from a crazy woman.
The faces of Min-tae and Tae-guk looked like they wanted to ask for an explanation, while Jae-young just kept hoping that Sunny wouldn't do that, but when he saw Lay's face that was where he understood, his hopes were dashed.
"She's frankly going to set off the explosives?"
"She said she promised you he would do this and you know once she promised you something, she wouldn't run away from her words."
"I understand that too but I don't mean that she blew up her own house, sometimes I wonder which crazy person would live for years amidst bombs like this?"
"Bomb?" Min-tae couldn't believe what he heard.
"You mean, this house has a bomb?" Tae-guk asked.
"Bomb?" Min-tae couldn't believe what he heard.
"Yes, several of the foundation pillars of this house had been installed with explosives since it was built. At first, I disliked her actions, but when she explained that her life was not normal, I understood."
"I can't understand! Is she crazy all this time living in a place like this?"
"That's why, she has a backup plan, Prosecutor Lee, you don't think that Sunny always does everything without a plan, right? She is a person who always thinks 2 to 4 steps ahead."
"I know, but living in a place like this," Min-tae couldn't imagine that all this time, Sunny had been ready to die at any time, and that was enough to scare him.
"Then what is the plan now? I heard there was about K-4," said Tae-guk.
"5 years ago, Soo-hee and I planned to build a new building for JL Enterprise, but 2 years later we got a bigger investment and moved to another place sooner, in the end, the building planning was postponed, and a few months ago Sunny wanted the project was continued with a different concept, but on the top floor was her place to work, if later she and Lian finally met."
"She thought about it after working with me?"
"She thought that maybe someday a time would come, a time like this when she would return to work with her friends. Whatever her wish I will make it happen, that's all I can do for her."
"I ask not to insult you, but why are you so compliant to her?" Min-tae asked.
Lay was silent as he looked back at the closed room.
"There were many things that I went through with her, the three of us struggled to do what we each dreamed of, and when the accident happened, many things happened. Prosecutor Lee, I'm not asking you to forgive her or think that she hasn't thought about you all this time, but she's suffered enough, and what I can do is help her."
Min-tae is silent, after all, maybe it happened because of Sunny, and he has forgiven her whatever happened. But he felt Sunny still hiding something.
"You already know that I have forgiven him since our last meeting."
"Then you understand how happy she is now, right? The friend she had worried about all this time, the regrets she thought about, and the building she prepared for something like this. I could see how happy he was from every intonation and word she said. That person, she can't wait to do this," said Lay with a smile.
"I know that too, that's why I don't say much, she always does what she wants, and she will be satisfied when she gets it, she never changes," Tae-guk took off his jacket while looking at Min-tae.
"Are you ready?" Tae-guk asked again.
"I still don't know, but I think she certainly understands that there are things I have to do before agreeing," Min-tae answered.
"Absolutely. She understands enough to hide that happy smile from her face," answered Jae-young.
"Okay, if you guys don't have anything to stop her, I hope Sok-ji won't be too hard on her," Lay took out his cell phone and called the person who knows about this house.
"Ah Ajushi, take Seo-won with you and go to Sunny's house, tell the others to prepare L1 security in K-4 and light up the 25th floor. Bring car as many as you can to transport things from here."
"She gonna blow up the house?"
"Yeah, I hope hyung wouldn't be mad at me."
"Well, if you wanna blow that up, we need something to assure the compensate."
"Then hyung will know what happened."
"I'll call him, and arrange everything."
"Thank you."
"How much time do we have?" Tae-guk asked.
"50 minutes tops, I hope.."
"Okay let's get to work. Jae-young back up everything and clear the server."
"On it."
