Maya's revelation shook Ji-Hoon.
"Alex Chen destroyed my family," Maya said.
Ji-Hoon's allegiance shifted.
"I'll help you bring him down," Ji-Hoon vowed.
Seung-Hyun's eyes narrowed.
"We're walking into a trap."
Victor's cryptic message arrived.
"Meet me at Club Eclipse. Come alone."
As Ji-Hoon and Maya prepared for the meeting:
Tensions escalated.
Sophia's empire teetered.
Eric's loyalty crumbled.
"Alex Chen, I'm done," Eric said.
Alex Chen's expression turned cold.
"You'll regret this."
The silence before the storm:
Ji-Hoon, Maya, and Seung-Hyun waited.
Club Eclipse's dim lights hid secrets.
Victor's voice echoed.
"Alex Chen's plan is bigger than you think."
Ji-Hoon's heart racing.
"What do you mean?" Ji-Hoon asked.
Victor's smile chilled.
"Wait and see."
Suddenly:
A figure emerged from the shadows.
"Hello, Ji-Hoon."
Ji-Hoon's world froze.
The figure's identity stunned Ji-Hoon.
"Yoo-Jin?" Ji-Hoon whispered.
Thought to be dead, Yoo-Jin's return raised questions.
"What happened to you?" Ji-Hoon asked.
Yoo-Jin's eyes hinted at secrets.
"I've been watching," Yoo-Jin said.
Maya's unease grew.
"Who are you?" Maya asked.
Yoo-Jin's smile chilled.
"I'm the one who knows the truth."
Yoo-Jin's words hung in the air.
"The truth about Alex Chen's plan," Yoo-Jin said.
Ji-Hoon's heart pounded.
"What is it?" Ji-Hoon asked.
Yoo-Jin's eyes locked onto Maya.
"Maya's not who she claims," Yoo-Jin revealed.
Maya's expression froze.
"What are you talking about?" Maya spat.
Yoo-Jin's smile grew.
"Maya's Alex Chen's daughter."
Ji-Hoon's world rocked.
"Impossible," Ji-Hoon exclaimed.
Yoo-Jin's voice dropped.
"Maya's been playing you, Ji-Hoon."
Seung-Hyun's eyes narrowed.
"Maya, is it true?" Seung-Hyun asked.
Maya's silence spoke volumes.
As tensions escalated:
Victor's phone buzzed.
"Alex Chen's men are closing in," Victor warned.
Yoo-Jin's eyes sparkled.
"It's time to leave."
Ji-Hoon's trust shattered.
"Who can I trust?" Ji-Hoon wondered.
The group's dynamics shifted.
Alliances crumbled.
Loyalty tested.
Suddenly:
Gunshots echoed through Club Eclipse.
"Get down!" Yoo-Jin shouted.
Chaos erupted.
Ji-Hoon's survival instincts kicked in.
The ambush intensified.
Ji-Hoon shielded Maya.
"Protecting you," Ji-Hoon said.
Maya's eyes flashed.
"Don't trust me?" Maya asked.
Ji-Hoon's hesitation grew.
Yoo-Jin dragged Seung-Hyun to safety.
"Seung-Hyun, we must escape," Yoo-Jin urged.
Seung-Hyun resisted.
"Ji-Hoon!" Seung-Hyun shouted.
Ji-Hoon's heart wrenched.
