Chapter 27 - The Friend and The Fiancé

Mansion Kang, Los Angeles.

Sok-ji comes out of Sunny's Office, and it turns out Danny is still there standing guard at the door of his office.

"Danny, aren't you on guard in Sunny's room?"

"No, Jack is the one guarding her room. She wants me to look after you for a while."

"Do you know where her room is?"

"Do you want me to take you?"

"If you can do it for me."

"Sure, I'll take you there."

Sok-ji followed Danny from behind, only a few steps later he arrived at the door someone else arrived there.

This Australian-American man has a tall body, black hair, light brown eyes, and a very firm chin.

"Jack hi, oh Zax are you here too?" he said then immediately grabbed the door handle.

Sok-ji immediately grabbed the person's hand, he pushed him away from the front door. Danny and Jack just stared at each other looking at what happened in front of their eyes, they both seemed to be able to see where this was going.

There will be no talking and no discussion, they will insult and curse each other.

Because it's quite normal for people who like one woman in the same room, to not be able to get along.

"Dann, he always comes into Sunny's room like this?" Sok-ji asked.

Walter looked at the person who put his hand away, he didn't like that tone of voice, as if he was the owner of this room, even though he knew very well who the owner of this room was.

However, when he looked at the person carefully, he remembered that at that time Michael told him to find out for himself about the man who was in a relationship with Sunny.

He is Kim Sok-ji. Actors involved in beatings and shootings.

Danny and Jack not answering Sok-ji's questions led him to a conclusion, Walter was always like this when he was at the Mansion.

He went straight into Sunny's room without knocking, as if he were the owner of this room, and that was asphyxiating for him, making him irritated and furious.

"Who are you?" tanya Sok-ji.

The man took out a CIA badge. "Walter Higgins, CIA, and please step out, I need to talk to her."

"I'm not going anywhere. I don't care if you are a CIA or not, you can't enter anyone's room like that, especially Soo-hee."

"Soo-hee? Ah, are you Sok-ji Kim?"

"Ya, why?"

"First, you just knew her for like what? nearly a year? I've known her for the rest of her life. So don't tell me anything, move out!"

"You are her friend, but me, I'm her fiance. So I can't let you in."

"Oh boy," Yep, what Danny was afraid of would happen.

He and Jack looked at each other trying to alert each other if something happened. Sok-ji is declare that he is Sunny fiancé.

Meanwhile, Walter is someone who has known Sunny all his life, and has great feelings for her, and what he heard indeed hurts him. Although he knew this might happen when he found out she and he were already dating.

"Until Sunny said about that, I don't believe you," said Walter while pushing Sok-ji's body.

"Joe, let him in," said Danny.

Danny can't choose who to defend, because he knows Walter has to talk to Sunny. After all, this is a big case, a shooting in his own home, when Sunny is a CIA asset. They should put her into witness protection

But because of her reputation, the CIA knows that would be necessary, it can't be, she has to manage a company, and she probably said no. So they never even asked her.

But Danny thinks, after what happened, Walter as a CIA agent needs to clarify this, before that mean girl leashes out.

All he can do is restrain Sok-ji from getting in the way of what Walter is going to do.

"Do whatever you want," Sok-ji could only say that.

What Danny said was that he wasn't angry and he understood it, after all, whatever the reason, he couldn't hit a federal officer as he pleased, for whatever reason.

All Sok-ji can do now is give in.

Give in, and accept the situation that this time Walter has the right to meet her.

And he could only observe from afar.

Sok-ji relents and leaves from there. Walter goes into Sunny's room and Sok-ji just watches from a distance. Danny, who has no relationship with Sunny, was shocked to see this.

But Sok-ji just remained silent and continued to watch this even from a distance.

"You want to go? I don't think you're comfortable seeing him here."

"I just want to eat this with her, it's been a long time since the two of us could eat this," Sok-ji showed 2 packs of ramyeon he brought from Korea.

Danny's eyes suddenly changed, yes he became like a child who was happy to see his favorite food. He seemed willing to leave Sunny and be with Sok-ji for Ramyeon's sake.

"Joe... I can accompany you to eat if you want, sometimes Sunny likes to invite me to eat, we even had a ramyeon party here."

"Oh, you like it?"

"I do. Usually, she's cooking alone, do you want me to accompany you?"

"Come on, I'd rather be annoyed while cooking than see the two of them."

***

Walter closed the door behind him, but what he saw when she turned around was Sunny with an annoyed face as if ready to attack him at any time.

"Sun, I'm sorry I don't help you."

"Shut up Walt! Do you know what happened in this house? If there was no Sok-ji and no Zax, what would happen? Mass murder you know!"

"Jacob met with your mother, and I have to find out what they talked about."

"Is that what's important now? You know they have a lot of violations, many of their casinos are illegal, I've given you evidence but you haven't caught them yet?"

"Sun, maybe we're friends, but I ain't your employee and we can't just pack them up and bring them to the prison. It's not as simple as that."

"You think I don't know? But at least you can give it to the Feds, so they can search it."

"You're like this because your boyfriend is here, right? You weren't this emotional when the sniper shooting happened."

"Yes, so what? Was I wrong about that?"

"I heard he even handled a lot of people alone. Snipers? Are you sure he's not an undercover agent?"

"South Korea has military service, Walt. One thing, he's my fiancé, not my boyfriend anymore."

"To me he is completely useless, if he is too confident, tell him, he will die. Don't act."

Sunny grabbed Walter's collar. She slams Walter against the wall. "Even if his life is in danger, I'll be there to save him."

Walter was silent, his eyes continued to stare at Sunny non-stop, and he allowed himself to continue to be hurt so they could still be friends.

He knew maybe the opportunity wouldn't come but he just wanted to keep trying.

"I will never be something to you, right Sun?"

"Is it wrong if he came to see me? Is that wrong?"

"Did I have to tell him what happened that night?"

Plaak~!!

That slap made him silent for a moment, he touched his cheek, and he felt numb around it, which hit frankly hard. He stares at Sunny with a furious glare.

"You know how much time I spend just to be with you, and now he's here and ruining everything!" Walter said frustrated.

Sunny surprised Walter leash out to her, she knew what Walter meant. She knows how Walter felt to her, cause he always said it over and over again when they were in high school.

Sunny knows the reason why no one wants to come near her is because Walter always pushing them away.

"Do you know how I felt when Keil was in front of my apartment and told me about your funeral and your death? 3 years later you contacted me and gave me all about your family."

"Because you're the only one I trust, that's why I gave it to you Walt."

"You just trust me, is that what you mean? And even after decades of us being like this, you never see me? Not even once in your life?"

"Walt, I'm sorry but you will always be my friend."

"Shut up Sun. After what I've done for you, after all these years, you still don't love me? This doesn't seem fair, not even for me."

Sunny looked down, she couldn't look at Walter, she didn't know and didn't blame Walter.

"Last time we went on a date you say, this is because of your family and my training. And now I know you have a Fiancé? Do you know how I feel?"

"I'm sorry."

"I'm leaving now. I'm going home to investigate them again, I'll let you know if there's anything I can do."

"And last Sun, I know if he's in danger you will be there to save him, but what if you die? Do you think it's fair for him? Or even for me? You always do whatever you want and think about yourself, not for everyone who's around you."

Walter pushed Sunny away, but she held his hand, stopping him from leaving the room.

"Why are you stopping me now?"

"I guess, I never properly apologize to you. Walt..."

"I don't want your apology Sun, I want you, I want you to be mine. Leave him, can you do it?"

Sunny continued to hold that hand as if she didn't want to let go. "Walt, you know..."

"Then stop it. You're always selfish about everything, you want to keep me like we're cheating, don't want to let me go, and don't want to choose between me and him. You better make your choice, you think I'm quiet because I like to be silent?"

"Don't say it, Walt, If you leave me, how about me?"

"What do you need me for? To catch your mother right? Now that your wish has been fulfilled, now what do you need me for?"

"You've always been the one beside me all this time, so you think I can get through this now?"

"Oh my God, Sun! Don't make me confused please!"

"Just don't leave me."

"So you want me to stay, so I will get hurt? In your dream Sun."

Walter comes out of Sunny's room, who knows where he disappeared, but Walter has his hiding place in the mansion area.
