"Tae Hoon! Tae Hoon!!" Ga Eul, Tae Hoon's younger sister, called, tapping him.
He turned, opening his eyes slowly. "What's it?"
"You are still sleeping, by this time? I have told you several times to look for a job. You have a rich girlfriend; let her connect you.
But no, you'll keep on lazing around. I don't know what type of elder brother you are." She fumed, folding her hands.
"Can you just keep it down, Ga Eul. I told you I have a plan, so don't bother me"
"What this stupid plan of yours? You've been saying that, ever since you got laid off your job."
"I do all the work, just to make sure we can both eat, in hope that your supposed 'plan' would be successful soon .
"However, it's the same story I keep hearing, over and over again. I'm sick of you doing nothing" she said, as Tae Hoon rose up, scratching his head.
"Sis, just hold on. Work is in progress" he patted her shoulder, heading to the bathroom, and Ga Eul scoffed.
"I can't just watch him do nothing" she muttered, and picked up his phone, to dial Min Ju's number.
Min Ju frowned, as she saw Tae Hoon's caller ID. She picked up her phone, and placed it by her ear, without saying a word.
"Hello sis, it's me, Ga Eul." Min Ju's frown deepened when she heard that. Why was his sister calling her.
"Hi Ga Eul" She responded monotonously. Ga Eul was about to reply, when the phone was dragged from her ear.
Tae Hoon cut the call immediately and Ga Eul spun around.
"What are you doing?! Are you okay?" Tae Hoon shouted, and Ga Eul rolled her eyes.
"What am I supposed to do, when all you do is lazing around. I can't just sit back and keep fending for both of us.
You are the elder one here. I'm so sick and tired of your nonchalant attitudes." She complained and Tae Hoon sighed.
"Haven't I told you to be patient? Did I ask you to call her? Stop moving faster than your shadow, and leave me alone!" He said, storming out of the house.

"We'll be having a project presentation by the end of this week. I briefed you all about it, days ago. And I believe everyone has started working on it." He said, and they nodded.
"Where's Ji Ho?" It wasn't up to a minute that he asked about her that she rushed in.
"I'm sorry for coming late. I really am" she said, and he sighed. It wasn't like he could reprimand her anyways.
"No problem, miss. Please, always endeavour to be on time." He said, and continued.
"We were discussing the project that would be coming up, later this week.
I told you all, that the person that would be overseeing this project is someone from the top.
This time, our company formed a really strong partnership with one of the best organizations in the country.
I heard the two CEOs, ours and the other company's , would be supervising the project, themselves.
We need to really do well, so our presentation can top other team's." He explained.
"Sir, you haven't shared the roles" Baek Ah reminded him.
"Ohh yes." He said. He had wanted to share them the day before, but he was called to a meeting.
"Min Ju would be taking the main presentation, Ji Ho would be the assistant." He said and Ji Ho twitched her lips.
"I did this due to the fact that they are sisters, and should be able to work well together" He said, innocently. Ji Ho looked at Min Ju, but the latter just stared back, expressionlessly.
"She's been acting really weird and aloof. I think she knows something " Myung Hee had told her in the morning.
"I don't think so. Min Ju's not that smart " She had replied.
But now, studying Min Ju, she seems a bit skeptical.
"Baek Ah would handle the slides. So Hyun and I would handle the remaining tech aspects.
Is that okay?" He asked. "Yes sir" They chorused, all apart from Ji Ho. "Is there any problem?" Eun asked, turning to her.
"I just don't understand why Min Ju gets to do the main presentation, and not me." She rolled her eyes and Eun grimaced. "Are these two really sisters?"
"Based on her credentials, she has more understanding about matters like this. I also think you'll do a good job, that was why you would be presenting, also." He said and she pursed her lips.

Linx exchanged glances with Zach. Kael had been working on his laptop for the past few hours, which was actually a rare thing for him to do.
"I can't keep quiet anymore." Linx voiced out. "What exactly are you doing, Kael?" He asked, and Kael finally looked up.
"I need you to help me dig up some dirt on someone" He said, ignoring Linx question.
"Who? " Linx asked.
"Myung Hee" He said, and they raised their brows. "Myung Hee?" Zach asked, unsure of what he heard.
"Yes" Kael affirmed. "Why all of a sudden? I thought you've forgiven about her already" he said and Kael chuckled.
"Have you ever heard me forgiving someone? I decided not to do anything, because I was waiting for the right time.
You really think I'll let her go scot-free? After all she has done? " He asked, and Zach kept quiet.
Myung Hee was one of Kael's fuck buddies. She was quite closer to him than the rest. However, she snitched on him, and started working for his rival. She was that bold.
She had thought he wouldn't find out. But it was the almighty Kael, after all. He did, and he had been really livid when he found out.
However, he didn't attack her, which was quite surprising.
Everyone forgot about the issue, she had gotten married to Jang Seung-ho and had been living her life, forgetting that there's someone who might make a comeback.
Kael had been waiting for a perfect time to strike, and now he had found it.
He now had an insider, who shared the same goals as him; to ruin her.
He had her just where he wanted. He had watched her rise, knowing the higher she climbed, the farther she'd fall.
He would teach her a lesson she would never forget.
When Min Ju had mentioned her name, he couldn't help but get curious; then intrigued, when she had stated her plan.
"Get me every single information about her. It's time to hunt" he smirked.
