After a long journey of 8 hours, they finally reached City K. Usually, it would take around 6 hours to reach there but because of continuous snowfall, it took them a bit more time.
When they were near the destination, they saw a huge property in between the snowy mountains. Even it was late afternoon, the sun was nowhere in the sky. On that dark afternoon, the hotel was shining proudly in the flood of snow. “Wow!” a single word came from everyone’s mouth.
On arriving, they were welcomed by the Manager of the hotel, “Good Afternoon everyone, welcome to Hotel Shinhwa. I am manager Hwang. How may I help you?” Nam Gil replied, “Hello Manager Hwang, I am Kang Nam Gil, we have booked four rooms here.”
Manager Hwang then recognized him. He got the call this morning from the higher-ups saying that the young master of Kang family will be coming with his friends. “Welcome young master Kang, I apologize for not recognizing yo
Su Yeon didn’t know what to do now. Someone tapped her shoulder from behind. Su Yeon held her guard up and looked behind, fortunately, it was Jin. He was trying to say something. Su Yeon asked with a bit loud voice, “What??”Jin chuckled and removed her hands from her ear. He held her shoulders and bent forward till his lips touched her ear, “Want to go out?” Su Yeon turned stiff and nodded robotically. Jin signaled the boys about their leave. He held her hands and took her out of that place.When they came out of that place, they both couldn’t take the sudden silent surrounding. It took them a couple of seconds to adjust. “Where should we go?” Jin asked. “Let’s go on the rooftop. There was a place which has a transparent glass roof,” Su Yeon said.They went to the topmost floor. A staff member guided them. It was actually a huge balcony that was covered by glass. It was supposed to be a small par
Where the eight friends were enjoying the ice skating, outside, someone was misbehaving with their cars. One person was efficiently placing bags in both cars without getting noticed by anyone. After finishing his work, a car came and he went inside.Lots of practice, falling numerous times, trying to help each other and tons of photos… all of them got tired and decided to say bye to this place. They sat in their respective cars and went in the way to the other side of city K, which was now just a mountain apart.When they finally crossed the mountain, they saw a check post that was inspecting every passing vehicle. Both the cars were connected by a call. Nam Gil and Jin’s phones were connected to their cars so that everyone could chat with each other.Jin said, “Nam Gil, can you see what is it for?” Nam Gil replied, “They are inspecting the whole vehicle, maybe the functioning or the luggage. Wait, they… they aren’t po
“Ohh? What are you doing here?” a voice came from behind. “Brother Lufan!!” Su Yeon beamed and waved at him. Meanwhile, Mr. Wang commanded a guard to bring all her friends inside. Wang Lufan was also wearing a tuxedo and looking like the finest gentleman. “You… I heard that some smugglers were caught red-handed! What about them?” Wang Lufan got confused. Su Yeon scratched her nose and said, “Umm… apparently, we are those smugglers.” Wang Lufan couldn’t believe what she said, but after looking at her face, he read between the lines, “Wait… someone sabotaged you all? Little one, do you know the consequences of it?” and sat beside her. Su Yeon knew that Lufan could understand the underlying meaning so she said, “I knew it, that is why I was going to ask for help from the officer, but when they brought us here, I already got my help.” Meanwhile, the officer and lady guard realized the whole situation. They understood the reason behind the unpredictable attitudes
He continued, “Minister Wang, we got some news that the opposing party is pursuing landowners to buy land as much land possible illegally under your name for the purpose of ‘Betterment’. We tried to investigate further and found that over 500 acres of land are in process of selling as of now.”Zhen asked Su Yeon in a low voice, “But wouldn’t that be better for our party? I mean the elections are only a couple of months away.” Su Yeon shook her head and started pacing around with a serious face, “No Zhen, this is not just that simple game. There are two incidences… one, the illegal acquisition and two, the presence of Heath+ CEO. Using the name of Minister Wang will ease their work. Furthermore, the more they increase uncle’s popularity, the steeper will be the fall-- Wait! Brother Lufan, so they are trying to destroy your entry!”The Officer raised his brow, “You are smarter for your age.” M
As Su Yeon, Ming, Jin and Huang went towards gaming booths, the shooting game caught their attention. Su Yeon reminisced the old days when she and her maternal grandfather used to play this game in the amusement park. She remembered how her grandfather used to hold the rifle, like a pro sniper. She went forward and tried to copy his style and position, but regretted it as the rifle was heavy as hell. Still, she held it just like him and one target caught her eyes, ‘Antique Piece of Your Choice’ She targeted that card and started mustering up her courage to pull the trigger because the penalty beside it was ‘Drink 5 shots of vodka’. Gon who was hiding on the opposite rooftop saw and commented, “Miss don’t hold it like that, it will hurt your neck and shoulder-” Just then, at the gaming booth, someone from behind adjusted her elbow and neck, “The jerk will dislocate your shoulder, Little one.” They all saw Lufan was standing behind, smil
A few hours ago, in the same casino, A young man was sitting at a blackjack table, looking at how his brother was playing efficiently. Just then, he heard a sweet voice from the table behind them, “Brother Lufan, can I give another shot?” He widened his eyes, ‘Intern Yoon?’ and looked behind. To his dismay, the source of the voice was sitting by facing her back towards him. He turned back towards his table but his ears and mind were completely on the Poker table. When he heard that she lost straight two rounds, he thought, ‘There are only two possibilities, either she is stubborn or… she is luring them to bid for more.’ Indeed, his second guess turned correct when he heard her saying with a sweet yet cunning voice, “It’s three Aces.” He couldn’t help but laugh out. The man beside him asked, “What happened?” The young man came back to his usual attitude and said, “Nothing, Hyung.” ‘I can’t wait to meet you now’ he thought and turned aroun
Gon was following her the moment she came out of the crowd. When he was about to go forward to pick the bag, he saw a person come and did it. He became alert but then saw that person waiting for her. Gon was following his every move, but when he heard the voice, “Excuse me, you dropped this…” his legs gave up and he froze on the spot. Certain voices started ringing in his mind, . A deep and devilish voice said, ‘Move!’ He then heard his own voice saying, ‘My apologies Emperor Jun, but I won’t let anyone harm our Miss,’ and heard the sound of a sword taken out from the sheath. The deep voice mocked, ‘Why would I harm my own Empress? I am just taking her to my chamber and… as her husband, I am allowed to do that.’ The voice continued, ‘My dear Empress, why are you hiding behind him? Are you sure he can protect you from… ME?’ A sweet helpless voice said from behind, ‘Gon ah, don’t do it. You are the only trusted person I have in t
Su Yeon went towards them, “Dr. Bai! Good morning! Are you also here for celebration?” Dr. Bai smiled, “Very Good morning my child! Of course. I came here with my family. He is my elder son.”Su Yeon widened her eyes, “What?... Ohh I-I am sorry,” and bite her tongue. The young man laughed and said, “I am used to it, don’t worry. Hello, I am Lee Kang Min,” and bowed. Su Yeon bowed back, “Hello Mr. Lee, I am Yoon Su Yeon—” she stopped and looked at him carefully, “Wait, Lee Kang Min… Mr. Lee aren’t you the winner of ‘Best Young Entrepreneur’?”Lee Kang Min amused, “Woah, well yes, but that happened almost two years ago, how did you remember?” Su Yeon beamed, “Of course! I have read your interview in the Business magazine; you are a true inspiration! and I liked your quote ‘You Are Who You Choose To Be’ so easy yet strong.”
