Door#2 “She is Alive”

Sometimes, the most gentle-looking person is actually the most hideous monster among predators.

"Please spare my life! They threatened my family and left me no choice!" A man in his white tuxedo begged on his knees.

"What do you think Josh?" A pretty blonde guy named Jeonghan asked. He is playing a sharp knife around his fingers as he offered, "Should I cut his fingers? Pluck his eyeballs?"

The prey is shaking on the ground. He keeps on begging, "Please. Please let me live. Please!"

"I can kill him right away. Just say it, Joshua," Seungcheol, the handsome black haired guy, dropped.

"Hey hey hey," Jeonghan complained, pointing the knife to Seungcheol's direction. "Why are you trying to snatch my prey away? He's mine."

Seungcheol glared at him, a stare asking him to get serious, though he doubt Jeonghan will stay still.

"No! I will do anything! Please!" the man begged and now kissing the ground.

Washing his smile away, Jeonghan placed the tip of the knife under his chin. "Shut up. How dare you offered a service after you stabbed us behind our back? If Joshua decided to kill you, I'll double your death sentence. Got it?"

  "You-" finally, the most-gentle looking among them spoke up. Jeonghan pulled back his knife, Seungcheol looked at him and the man in tuxedo bowed his head. "Do you really want to live?" Joshua asked with an angelic smile mask, hiding the true colours of a devil. He stood up, approaching the frightened guy whose life depends on his words. He feels dead just by watching every steps Joshua took. "I can't believe that a traitor like you will ask for his life." Joshua chuckled and went on his knees to meet the prey's gaze.

"F-Forgive me, sir," he begged, voice was shivering.

Joshua laughed; a kind of laugh that is more frightening than any howls. After his smile faded away, he grabbed the man's hair and pulled it up.

"Ahhhh!" the man winced in pain as he was forced to lift his head. In front of him appeared a lamb looking guy transformed into a wolf.

"I really wanted to see your blood in my hands. However, I went here as your guest. It is not appropriate for a gentleman like me to ruin your marriage. Also, I don't want to see your pretty wife's tears on her wedding day. So for now, you can still enjoy the freedom to live." Joshua pulled his hand from his hair and shifted his smile into a blank expression.

"Are you really sure to let him go?" Seungcheol asked.

"Hey~ That's not fun," Jeonghan pouted.

Joshua stood up, flattened the wrinkles of his suit and then took a deep breath. "Don't ever try to do something stupid again." He chuckled before continuing, ""Because second chance is like a miracle. It only happens once in a blue moon."

"T-Thank you sir! Thank you for sparing my life!"

Joshua smiled sweetly. It's neither pleasant or the other way around. "Then, we will go back to the reception party and enjoy the foods."

Seungcheol and Joshua walked out from the room. "You're lucky," Jeonghan pointed him and kicked his stomach before he followed the other two guys.

These handsome guys went back at the wedding reception hall. They are getting all of the attention, from both men and women, as their pretty faces lightened the already bright place. Outside of their appearance maybe wonderful and angelic, but behind their identities is a dark world different from normal people.

Who are they?

'HongYoonChoi': The three leading heirs of the most influential secret organization.

"Hi," Jeonghan waved and winked at those pretty girls sitting on the next table near them: table number 6.

The girls giggled, flirting in gestures.

"Stop flirting will you? You are getting us more attention," Seungcheol complained.

"This place is boring anyway. The foods are worst. Can we just go home?" Jeonghan said, still waving to other girls around.

"Should we kill some here to make the party fun?" Joshua said in serious tone. The two looked at him, surprised. "Joke," Joshua chuckled with a peace sign.

In the middle of their conversation, a girl suddenly sat on the empty seat of their table. The three looked at her, quite confused.

"Why are you sitting here?" Seungcheol asked with a blank expression. But in the eyes of the woman, his words were filtered as a sharp sword.

"Hey Cheollie~ Don't scare her," Jeonghan said in flirtatious tone.

"Hi, miss," Joshua spoke with over excessive calculated smile. "Mind checking your table number again? I think you made a slight mistake."

The girl checked the number in her invitation card. Seeing her widened eyes, the three finally solved the mystery.

"S-Sorry. I made a mistake."  the clumsy girl, apologized. She stood up and quickly escaped.

"Wrong table," Seungcheol commented the obvious fact. He crossed his arms as well as his legs while tailing the clumsy girl with his droopy deer-like eyes.

"I thought someone fell deeply in my charm that she sat beside me to flirt." Jeonghan sighed. He caressed his soft cheeks and placed his elbow above the table. "Well, I wouldn't resist if she does hit on me," he chuckled, staring at her while she sat on the next table.

"She's cute, right?" Joshua also looked at her.

In unison, Seungcheol and Jeonghan both opposed, "No."

"She's pretty," Jeonghan chuckled while Seungcheol cheeks turned red as he looked away.

"Well she really is," Joshua pointed her through his eyes. "As well as those sneaky women."

The two follow Joshua's gaze on her direction, to Celine. She is sitting on table number 6, alongside with some high school rich classmates.

"I never thought you are invited here Celine," Minnie, the daughter of Ixumi company mocked her.

"Yeah. Me too. I was surprised to see you here Celine," Kazey, the daughter of Dangdem company added.

"Gosh, you can buy expensive dress now. Congrats Celine," Liza, the daughter of MBS teased.

"We are happy to see you again. You know, we've been talking about you a moment ago," Haidee, the daughter of prime minister, lied.

"They didn't sound happy at all," Jeonghan commented, licking the corner of his lips before he kicked his tongue. "Tsk tsk tsk."

"Those are daughters of our organization's member." Seungcheol said to Joshua as if he's whining like a kid. But his expression and tone remained monotonous.

"I know," Joshua answered without removing his eyes towards them. "I know," he repeated but in quieter voice.

"I am working as an editor in a magazine," Celine shared while kept on glancing at her left side. "But my boyfriend asked me to stop working because he doesn't want me to get tired. Isn't he so sweet?"

"She is lying. I can see that to her eyes," Jeonghan chuckled while watching as if she is an interesting playmate.

"Who is your boyfriend? What is his work?"  girls exclaimed.

"My boyfriend? Huh. He is the heir of HongYoonChoi organization. "

When the three heard the word "HongYoonChoi" from her own mouth, they were alarmed. Their organization is a top secret and they are wondering how a mere girl like her, knows it!

"HongYoonChoi is one of the richest organization in the world. And my boyfriend is their heir," she continued, not sensing the three pair of eyes gawking at her side.

"Bring her to the men's comfort room," Joshua commanded to Jeonghan. He stood up, along with Seungcheol and went to the comfort room.

Jeonghan whistled, looking at her from head to toe."Witwiw. The play time is over, babe."

----

"I have so many why's in my life," Jeonghan shared.

Seungcheol stood straight in front of the comfort room's door with pursed lips. Then, Jeonghan continued his dramatic speech.

"Why do people believe Santa claus? Why can't we play with all of the animals? Why am I too perfect? But, the most important answer that I wanted to know right now is..."

He bowed his head. The light above shone a halo on him.

"...the reason why you dragged me here and forced me to guard this damn door."

Seungcheol took a quick glance at the innocent door. Still, he didn't say a thing.

"Why?!" Jeonghan sulked. "Why do you have to that when everything has finally went exciting?!"

Since it doesn't seem that Jeonghan will stop sooner or later, Seungcheol carefully detached his natural red lips. "If I left you there, you'll definitely do something bad to the lady."

First, Jeonghan stared at him while blinking swiftly. Second, a smirk drew on his lips. "Oho, I see," he chuckled. "It became all clear to me after hearing your answer. The reason why you took me here to protect that cute bitch is because... THE SPRING HAS FINALLY BLOOMED IN YOU! CHEOLLIE CHEOLLIE!"

He was only joking. Before they went to the wedding, these two made a bet. Seungcheol is a bachelor for many years. So they agreed that whoever caught his interest in the wedding hall, Seungcheol will date her.

"After spending many years of being a bachelor, you found your ideal type!" Jeonghan continued in teasing voice. Then he nodded his head stoop proudly while rubbing his chin. "I should have noticed when I saw your romantic and robotic gaze."

Instead of refusing, which Seungcheol always does to shut him up, he looked away. His face is so red, and the redness went up to  his nape ears; then down to his nape.

'Oh? He looks very serious!' Jeonghan gasped inwardly. Keeping his smiling face and calm posture, Jeonghan asked, "Since this is the first time, I really wonder what made you attracted to her. She sure is pretty but you're not like me. You're someone who won't bat even thousands of gorgeous woman stripped naked in front of you."

Seungcheol scratched his hot nape. Then he answered, "Well, I'm not sure. But although she's my type, if Joshua decided to kill her..."

Jeonghan tilted his head to him only to find the sudden changed on Seungcheol's eyes.

"Then we have to kill her without any trace."

Jeonghan nodded as if  he heard an obvious answer. Well, if Seungcheol chose a girl over their organization, then he is not the Seungcheol that Jeonghan knows. For a guy like him, friendship and loyalty comes first.

Soon the door opened.

"Interrogation is done? Did she..." Jeonghan's word stopped as soon as he saw the person behind the door. His eyes are lifeless, as if he saw a ghost.

Wondering what happened, the two remained quiet until Joshua opened his lips. "She's unconscious. Bring her secretly to my house. And also...' He looked down as he took a slow step. "Treat her gently, please."

Seungcheol and Jeonghan looked each other, quite confused. When Joshua's back faded into their sight, Jeonghan murmured, "Did I hear him right?"

'Joshua asked us to treat her gently? But he despises women,' Jeonghan thought inwardly before he followed Seungcheol inside the comfort room where they saw an unconscious woman lying on the ground.

"Who ...exactly are you?" the two asked inside their mind while looking at her.

On the other side, Joshua hopped inside his car. Then, he got his wallet on his suit and looked at the picture of an middle-age man and a little girl on his side.

He smiled, this time, a sincere one. "I can't believe it. I can't believe that you... you..." His grip tightened as he whispered, "...you are still alive."
