[News Flash]
[The UniQue store in Gangnam was under attack just now and many people inside got injured. There is still no information from the police as they try to control the situation. Some eye witness said that they saw people wearing mask and black suits came out of a black van that stopped suddenly in front of the store and started shooting before leaving in a hurry.]
Jun So's heart froze as he heard the news, moreover seeing the destroyed store. Thinking that his wife and his baby were trapped in there, Jun So didn't even think twice anymore.
"..Ha Jin.." Jun So was about to storm out of the living room when Ji Kyung grabbed his arm tightly to stop him.
"I'm coming with you" Ji Kyung said. "It's too dangerous to go alone"
Both of them stared at each other for a short while, some sort of communication happened during that short period and as a result to that, Jun So gave a firm nod and rushed out of the mansion with Ji Kyung by his side.
They both rode Ji Kyung's black sedan and the car drove away with a screeching sound, leaving dust in it's trail. Along the way, the conversation Jun So had with Ha Jin before she left played in his mind.
"I don't want you to go."
Jun So who was watching his beloved wife applying make up, spoke his mind. He watched Ha Jin's hand stopped it's movement, her eyes that he loved to gaze at so much, piercing it's gaze from the mirror. There was no reply from Ha Jin, it looked like she was trying to figure out what to say to him.
"Is it because of the package that Min Je sent?" Ha Jin asked, finally breaking the silence that surrounded the room they were in.
"Yes. The package made me realize how dangerous Min Jee is and if something happens to you again, I.."
Jun So closed his eyes, trying to erase the memory of Ha Jin lying in his arms as blood trickling down her leg. That was one of the memories Jun So wanted to erase badly but he couldn't. He still remembered it as if it just happened yesterday. The despair and feeling of helplessness as he watched his wife almost dying in his arms, the anxiety that tortured him as he waited for the doctor to come out of the surgery room, the soul crushing moment when he heard that his wife might not be able to survive, All of that still resided at the corner of his mind and haunted Jun So at times.
Jun So opened his eyes abruptly when he felt a soft touch on his face. Ha Jin lovely face came to view as soon as he opened his eyes, the smile she wore was enough for Jun So to know that she knew what was plaguing his mind. Jun So lifted his hand to touch that hand.
"How I wish I can lock you up in this mansion.." Jun So expressed his dark desire, "..I want no one come near you let alone see you, My love.."
Ha Jin giggled softly upon hearing the words, "I know that's what you want. Maybe I will let you lock me up later ~"
Seeing the glint of naughtiness in his wife's eyes, Jun So let out a soft yet sensual growl. "Don't regret it if I take you up on your offer later, my sweet." he whispered in alluring tone filled with dark possessiveness and leaned closer to capture Ha Jin lips.
Their lips were over lapping for a while before Jun So broke it abruptly. He had made love to Ha Jin until dawn and even though he wanted Ha Jin to rest more, she refused to do so because of her promise with Chae Won. If he succumbed to his desire now, Jun So would lock Ha Jin in this room no matter what she said. Using all his mental energy to suppress the lust Jun So had for his wife, he gave one last kiss on her forehead.
'I shall feast upon you later, Darling~'
'You have awaken the beast after all~'
Jun So made such mental promise before opening his lips to speak, "Come back to the mansion right away after visiting your friend." Jun So ordered in light tone.
Ha Jin let out a small giggle before giving Jun So one of her radiant smile that never failed taking his breath away,
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ha Jin gave a jest reply, smiling teasingly at Jun So.
And thus, Jun So watched Ha Jin's back as she returned to finish her make up and accompanied her until they arrived at the front door. Jun So bid his wife goodbye with a reluctant feeling, somehow the anxiety kept gnawing in his heart.
'I shouldn't have let her go..'
'I shouldn't have let her out of my sight..'
'If anything happens to her, I..'
"Hey, better get that thought out of your mind, Jun So."
Jun So who was in the middle of cursing himself inside over and over again, was pulled out by the voice of his best friend. He turned his head to the driver seat, Ji Kyung was still fixing his eyes on the road ahead.
"Never let your fear overcome your senses, isn't that what Mr. Park always told us?"
"Looks like my fear was shown on my face huh?" Jun So said with a bitter smile.
"I won't say that I know how you feel but from my experience as an agent, fears plays major part in making people losing themselves. What you need to do is be as calm as you can be."
Hearing the words, Jun So let out a small laughter. "What a surprise, those words were mine in the past."
Ji Kyung grinned as an answer while turning the wheels to the right and kept driving, from the buildings that Jun So saw from the window he knew they would arrive soon. Yes.. Those words were Jun So's words in the past, he said those words to Ji Kyung who was trying to get permission from his father to be an agent and somehow those came back to Jun So now. Life was indeed interesting.
As they arrived at the store, many polices and reporters had crowded in front of it. The reporters turned their heads the moment Jun So walked toward the stores with Ji Kyung by his side following in the same fast pace. The reporters started rushing to Jun So and asked him about the attacking and who he thought as a culprit behind the attack, but Jun So didn't even bother to answer their questions. He just kept on pushing through the crowd until his feet stopped when he saw the figure of his wife, standing next to her best friend. They both were accompanied by two men clad in black suits. Those were Ha Jin's bodyguard but.. her bodyguards supposed to be four..
"Ha Jin!"
"! Jun So!"
Jun So called out his wife's name while rushing toward her and hearing her name was called, Ha Jin turned her head to the source of voice and saw Jun So was rushing toward her, thus she did the same. They both hugged each other tightly, didn't even care about the reporters.
"You are safe, Thank God.." Jun So whispered and let out a sigh of relief. He let Ha Jin go only to touch her face and inspect it.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"I am fine but the other two bodyguards are brought to hospital now. They got hurt so badly for protecting me and Chae Won."
Ha Jin shook her head and answered Jun So's question. Jun So made a mental note to check on the wounded bodyguards and hired another two for temporary. His eyes scanned Ha Jin's face for a while and finally convinced that Ha Jin was indeed safe. Her face was paled though and maybe because she was in shock.
"Chae Won!"
Another voice could be heard and when both Jun So and Ha Jin turned their heads to the source, Hyun Woo could be seen rushing toward Chae Won and hugged her tight. It was clear in their eyes that Hyun Woo was worried to death about Chae Won. Jun So and Ha Jin smiled at each other before they walked towards the two.
"Are you hurt somewhere?!" Hyun Woo asked frantically while touching Chae Won's face, arms and stomach.
"I am fine, Hyun Woo. Wait! where are you touching me?!" Chae Won became flustered when Hyun Woo touched her stomach, causing her to slap Hyun Woo's hand lightly.
"Oh, looks like you are not injured.." Hyun Woo let out a sigh of relief, "Thank heaven.."
"Ha Jin's bodyguard protected me, I manage to come out alive." Chae Won let out a smile filled with gratitude to Ha Jin and so was Hyun Woo.
"You are my best friend, Chae Won. Of course I will protect you." Ha Jin replied with a smile.
"Ahem.." Ji Kyung entered in the middle of conversation. He moved closer to the four of them and whispered,
"It's getting crowded and talking here won't be the best idea. People are looking."
Ha Jin, Chae Won, Jun So and Hyun Woo turned their heads around and noticed that aside from reporters and the police, people already gathered with phones in their hands. Clearly they took photos or recorded the scene.
"Ji Kyung is right, we better go back to my mansion first." Jun So said as he stared at Chae Won and Hyun Woo.
Hyun Woo was reluctant to go back with Jun So but Chae Won wanted to know more about the incident that almost took her life so finally Hyun Woo agreed to go back. Ha Jin -Jun So notices- was trying hard not to grin. Probably because she knew that the reason Hyun Woo agreed to go to Tae mansion was because he didn't want to let Chae Won out of his sight. This was confirmed when Ha Jin shared a knowing glance at Jun So.
Tae Mansion..
The group arrived at Tae Mansion after dealing with the polices who were asking for more information about the incident. It should have been taking a while if it wasn't for Jun So who used his status power to make things easier. He told the polices and the reporter to talk to his lawyer for more information.
Now they were in the living room, listening to Ji Kyung's explanation. According to Ji Kyung, Ji Seok, the head butler of Oh family and Min Jee's most trusted person was a person who used to be a secret agent.
"A secret agent?" Ha Jin asked, clearly couldn't belief what she just heard.
"Yes and according to the information I got, he made contact with dangerous people more than few times."
"Dangerous people?" This time the one who responded was Hyun Woo. "And those dangerous people, are they the one who were responsible for the attack?"
"There is no proof yet but the possibility is high. Especially.." Ji Kyung put the box that had dead bird body in it.
"When this came as a warning."
Hyun Woo opened the box and withdrew instantly, Chae Won gasped in surprise and clasped her mouth with her own hand and Ha Jin turned her head away, burying her face in Jun So's chest who was sitting next to her. Jun So caressed her hair gently, calming her down.
"Th-This is.." Hyun Woo muttered softly but enough to be heard by the others, "..Madness.."
"True. I can't believe she dared giving this to you, Ha Jin." Chae Won agreed as Hyun Woo's arm wrapped her shoulders in protective manner. He decided to close the box again so Chae Won didn't have to look at it more than she already had.
"That woman needs to be stopped." Hyun Woo said in rage and turned his gaze to Jun So, "I want to help. She dares putting my beloved woman in danger, almost took her life, I won't forgive that woman."
"Hyun Woo.."
Jun So and Hyun Woo stared at each other for a while. Both men looked like they were communicating without words before Jun So broke the silence.
"I know how it feels to feel angry when your beloved one is being put in danger. Usually I will deal with it myself but I shall accept your help." Jun So said, smiling at Hyun Woo.
"Thank you for accepting." Hyun Woo said in gratitude.
"Then what should we do now?" Chae Won asked,
"I think we need to make a plan." Ha Jin was the one who answered Chae Won's question.
"Ah before we discuss a plan, I have something else to tell you."
Ji Kyung who was listening in silent while the other four had a conversation finally opened his lips to speak. Four head turned toward him, questioning Ji Kyung with their eyes.
"It's the real identity of Ji Seok. You see.. Ji Seok is not the real name of that head butler. His real name is.."
"Nam Ryu Jin and he.."
"..is the illegitimate son of Nam Ryu Weol, one of the top World Mafia."
