The tension in the room thickened as Hye-Jin approached Bo-Young, her movements slow and deliberate, raising her up with a single hand. Her words, spoken with a chilling laugh, echoed with a dark secret.
"I will only let you go because of him," she said, her finger pointed at Min-Joon.
Min-Joon, a man of immortality, met Hye-Jin's gaze, and together they shared a knowing look, laughing softly. Bo-Young's surprise and anger were palpable, her voice tinged with disbelief.
"What do you mean, Min-Joon?" she asked, her words laced with anger.
He looked at her, his own gaze filled with determination.
"Do you think I would readily forsake the woman I love just to marry you, Bo-Young? Do you forget who I truly am? I am Park-Min-Joon, an immortal. You cannot grasp my innermost motivations."
*Flashback*
The memory flashed back to the moment when Park-Min-Joon made the decision to marry Lee-Bo-Young. He had shared everything with Hye-Jin, asking her to feign ignorance, yet he was oblivious to her true identity as someone with the blood of Lucifer flowing through her veins.

Under the bright lights of the press conference, Jung-wook stood tall, his presence both handsome and charismatic. The stage was his, and he commanded it with a calm authority that captivated the world.
"Our SB Pharmaceuticals presents this medicine to patients with psychiatric problems across the globe," he began, his voice steady and reassuring. "Our goal is to protect the mental health of all patients. Not just those with psychiatric issues, but everyone who needs our care. It is our duty to safeguard them."
His words flowed like a gentle stream, free of any hidden motives, or so it seemed. The audience erupted in applause, cameras flashed, capturing the moment. To the world, he was a hero, a beacon of hope and integrity.
Yet, behind the scenes, a different story unfolded. In the shadows, Uncle Kang and Yoo In-ha meticulously planned Kim-Song's escape from prison, their actions a stark contrast to the public's perception of Jung-Wook.

In the warm glow of celebration, Min-Joon and Hye-Jin welcomed their friends, Jae-I, Ji-Hoon, Gu-Won, and He-Ra. The atmosphere was light, filled with laughter and camaraderie.
"You can't drink, take this milk, okay?" Gu-Won gently took the wine glass from He-Ra's hand.
"Just a little, okay?" He-Ra pleaded, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Hye-Jin watched them with a knowing smile. "You guys, what's really your relationship?" she teased.
Gu-Won ran his hand through his hair, a nervous gesture. "Well... just colleagues," he replied.
"Oh, my best friend is hiding things from me," Hye-Jin said dramatically, turning to He-Ra.
"Okay, okay... we are dating," He-Ra confessed, her cheeks flushing.
"Oh my god," Jae-I exclaimed, the room falling into stunned silence.
Breaking the tension, Jae-I spoke up, "Oh Noona(big sister), so you and Min-Joon Oppa have been fooling us and making us worry. We thought you guys were breaking up."
"Why did you decide to marry Bo-Young Uncle in the first place? What's the reason?" Ji-Hoon asked Min-Joon.
"Yes, why?" He-Ra echoed.
"You guys are noisy," Hye-Jin said, purposefully dismissing the topic to hide their immortal secret.
"I'm going to the restroom," Ji-Hoon announced, escaping the prying questions.
In the solitude of the restroom, Ji-Hoon looked into the mirror. "Sung Woo
(Park-Min-Joon's real name from in the past,when he is a prince),Ji-Hyun (Hye-Jin) you are on your own now," he whispered to his reflection before washing his face.
The celebration ended, and Ji-Hoon offered to take Jae-I home. A paparazzi's camera clicked in the shadows, capturing a moment that could spark scandal, given Ji-Hoon's status as a K-pop idol.
Min-Joon took Hye-Jin home, while Gu-Won dropped He-Ra off at her apartment. As he drove away, shadows emerged, kidnapping He-Ra and throwing her into a van.
She awoke in a dimly lit warehouse, a man's silhouette looming over her. "You even have the audacity to help Hye-Jin expose many dark secrets, right?" he spat, his voice dripping with anger.
"Who are you?" He-Ra asked, her vision blurred by darkness and intoxication.
The man slapped her again, his rage palpable. He ordered his men to commit an unspeakable act(rape), the darkness closing in around her.

A woman's voice echoed, words so cold and cruel,
Blaming the victim, excusing the crime true "that's her fault,she dressed sexy and she is drunk,which man wouldn't touch her."
tHye-Jin's anger flared, a fiery rage within,grabbing the woman's collar
"How dare you? Just because she is not your daughter or sister,even if she is walking naked around no man is allowed to touch her because that her body. She is a victim not a villain. Old hag like you deserve to die. Can you even imagine the pain and torture she went through? Those animals r$pe her and you are blaming her." Her words a stark rebuke, a line that did not sink.
Park-Min-Joon hold Hye-Jin "calm down,calm down"
The police and the ambulance arrived together with Gu-Won
He kneeled there crying
She was taken to the hospital and the doctor told them that she was pregnant when she was raped
And the child didn't survive
Gu-Won leaned against the hospital bed crying
Hye-Jin received a text message "I told you the games not over" she received the text from an unknown number
She looked up at the tv when she heard that the reporter saying Kim-Song escaped from prison
Her eyes darted to the TV, a grim headline,
"Kim-Song escaped, a looming threat," she read,
A trembling began, her fears laid clear,
In her heart, a tempest of trepidation
**Title: "Say No to Rape"**
In the silence of the night, a cry goes unheard,
A soul shattered, a life disturbed.
No means no, it's not a game,
It's time to end this cycle of shame.
We stand together, voices raised,
Against the violence, against the haze.
No more whispers, no more fear,
It's time to make our message clear.
To the survivors, you're not alone,
Your strength, your courage, brightly shone.
We see you, we hear you, we believe,
Together, we can achieve.
Say no to rape, say yes to respect,
To dignity, to lives that intersect.
With love, with hope, we pave the way,
For a brighter, safer, better day.
**Title: "Silent Screams(rape-spoken words)"**
In the shadows of the night, where whispers turn to screams,
A soul cries out, unseen, unheard, in the silence of their dreams.
Ripped from the light, into a world of pain,
A heart shattered, a life forever stained.
They say, "Speak up, let your voice be heard,"
But fear grips tight, and words become blurred.
Shame and guilt, like chains, they bind,
In a world so cruel, where justice is blind.
But listen now, to the silent screams,
Of those who suffer, lost in their dreams.
Their stories matter, their voices true,
And it's time we stand, me and you.
No more silence, no more shame,
We must speak out, call them by name.
For every victim, every soul in despair,
We must show them love, show them we care.
Raise your voice, let the world hear,
The pain, the struggle, the silent fear.
Together we stand, together we fight,
For justice, for healing, for what is right.
No means no, a powerful phrase,
Respect each other, no need to haze,
Consent is key, it's not a game,
When someone says no, stop it, I don't want that fame.
Listen closely, don't turn a blind eye,
If someone is uncomfortable, step in, don't shy,
No means no, a boundary to respect,
A simple two-letter word, don't attempt to suppress.
