When Seungcheol was informed that Celine and Joshua have came back, the first thing that came to him is acceptance.No matter how torturing it is to watch his woman married other man and spent nights with him, he knew he had to endure this, given the situation they are all into. Moreover, he had to cop up the guilt for choosing to unite the whole clan instead of picking what his morality told him to do.Seungcheol gripped his pen with a scowl. He’s hurting, he’s in pain. But he had to swallow everything and pretend that everything will be okay; as if he’s drinking a cup of fuel which is water in disguise.He stood up and prepared to leave.“Sir, you have an important meeting tonight,” his secretary informed.“Cancel everything. I have more important things to do.”He picked up his jacket and stepped away. As he walked out, there’s a mint scent left inside the space.The plan for today is to meet Celine. He wanted to ask what happened during their vacation, but that will be second afte
Six years ago, all stations were hacked by a genius hacker named ‘Hugo’. At the time when all sites and stations were at his control, a list of politicians who were involved in slush funds was shown at the screens. As all citizens found out the truth, the masses forced the government to take an action. Therefore, the guilty sinners were put behind bars. However, the hacker ‘Hugo’ was arrested by the Cyber crime team, and spent five years in jail. This incident created trauma among the upper ups. Thus, they increased the security for the cyber team, so such scenario won’t happen again in the future. In addition to that, they put Hugo under the special facility where they can watch him until he’s ready to go out of the bars. Yet at the day he got discharged, Hugo disappeared. Some thought that he is probably dead, since he went against many politicians before his long sentence in jail. Other says that Hugo was scouted because of his skill. Few commented that maybe, Hugo went on hide b
Together with Minghao, Celine came to the old house that she bought back after borrowing money from Wonwoo. Even though she hasn’t seen anything inside this place after several days of exploring, Celine still believes that having the key on her possession might help her search.When they entered, Minghao looked around the place. His eyes noticed the sofa, they settled there for quite a long time.As an assassin before, Minghao learned how to set things at their original positions to avoid leaving trace of his infiltration inside the place. That goes the same when he can easily detect if there is some re-emplacement around the area.‘Someone came here,’ the meticulous guy guessed.He concluded that it might be Wonwoo, because Wonwoo is the only one who has the duplicate key for the house.‘Did he search here while we were gone?’ he added inwardly.Standing by his side, Celine turned to Minghao and she noticed his intent gaze at a certain direction, on which she thought that he found s
Every time Celine and Minghao hopped down on each of the rusty and old wooden stairway, creaking sounds echoed. The air was cold and damp. Cobwebs everywhere and without Minghao’s flashlight, they will have hard time exploring. They kept on walking together, and for some time, everything was fine with the exception of some weird looking bugs they encountered on their way. However, just seeing them provided Celine some relief. Walking deeply in the dark, they heard absolutely nothing but their breaths and footsteps. It was so creepy and torturous to invade a place you never been too, that goes for everyone. Yet for Minghao whose life was always in danger, and for Celine who’s desperate to know the truth, it is easy for them to ignore the fear and just focus on the road. As they continue jolting carefully inside the jet black place, and bearing those small swirling mass of dust which looks like bits of snow, a flurry snow created by the light, Celine’s steps halted all of a sudden.
Every time the young Jill saw her uncle Vret, she could not describe the happiness she feels. For her, he is the only brother of her mother, and she thought it is okay to love him as much as she loves Freea. However, the child’s love isn’t enough for Vret to cure his darkened heart.“Uncle!” Jill called then held Vret’s hand.Vret looked downward with his sharp gaze, sending cold stare at his niece. Frightened at the intensity in his eyes, Jill let go of his hand and stepped back while bowing her head.“I’m s-sorry,” she stuttered while in the verge of crying.Vret clicked his tongue, “Tsssk.” Then he stepped away as if he wasted seconds of his time at the most insignificance person in his life.The little Jill pathetically stood at her place while her shoulders trembled. She was biting her lower lip so hard in order to stop herself from crying.“Jill.”A sweet voice called her from behind. It was enough for her to find her solemnity again, as she looked back and saw the pretty boy wh
Jill was thrown at the corner by the muscular man who separated her from Eugene. She stumbled on the ground and the hands she used to support her weight went sore. The rush of energy gave her tingling sensation in her small fingers and legs. She had feeling that her heartbeat is in her head, making her dizzy. What added her fear is because her eyes were still covered. It’s not the darkness itself that’s frightening. It’s the fear of what darkness masks. The dark left her vulnerable and expose, unable to spot the threats that was lurking nearby. It means danger and taking precautions to stay safe for Jill. ‘Stay safe? Is it possible that we can make it alive?’ Jill had her doubts. If there’s no rescue to come, it won’t be long for Eugene and Jill to die in the remote place where people usually don’t take. Still, Jill believed to her parents. ‘But father and mother will save us. They will come.’ All of a sudden, her blind fold was taken from her eyes. She started to adapt to the
When gunshots were heard outside the warehouse, Kelly and her men sensed the need of fleeing right at this moment.“Ma’am, we need to run as soon as possible,” one reported. “The HongYoonChoi’s leaders are here. We can’t make it alive if we stay.”Expecting the aid that was about to come, Kelly decided to leave the place and retreat. Her job is not yet done. But soon, in the future, she’ll make it sure to finish what she has started.She looked behind at the little girl who stabbed her own mother while she’s under the influence of the drug. Next to the kid is the wounded Freea and the little boy who’s staring at Kelly straight into her eyes.‘The eyes of the HongYoonChoi leader,’ Kelly said to herself while looking at the boy who probably pledging about the revenge that he’ll get soon.Kelly smiled at the crying Eugene, before she turned around and retreated without staring back.Moments later, after all of the opponents evacuated through the other door, bullets tore through the door,
When Joshua came back at the Hong mansion, Eugene was the first one he saw. He anticipated it, except seeing the fresh wound on his right hand’s neck. In addition to that, his eyes also caught the knife which he saw a moment ago, and from what he can remember, it was the blade that Celine was holding before he went out to meet Woozi. He had a premonition that he won’t like the next thing he’ll hear, yet still, he detached his lips and dropped a low tone voice. “Where is my wife?” Eugene could not response. Thus, Joshua inquired again, putting more authority in his voice. “Where is Celine?” Joshua’s brows creased after he saw the odd expression that was written vividly on Eugene’s face. He has face like a wet weekend, down in the mouth, as if he was knocked out sideways. It was hard to ignore, but easy to notice the pain in his heart, which confused Joshua even more. Seldom, he caught Eugene’s different gaze towards Celine. They are not the eyes of a man, but something more than
