“You’re surprised right? I told you not to mess with me didn’t I?”He chuckled darkly and she went on her knees instantly.
“Please, don’t hurt her. I beg of you!!”She clapped her palms together.
“Then get me what I want A-Yeong!!!!”He shouted and A-Yeong flinched fearfully. She bite her bottom lips tearfully,with her hands still clasped together as she looked at the devil who was sitting in front of her.
“I told you I want to get her trust first and that’s exactly what I’m doing”A-Yeong breathed and the man stood up from the chair,before walking closer to her.
He grabbed her chin roughly, lifting her face up and staring deep in her eyes,it wasn’t just a stare but a glare cos he was glaring daggers at her. His face just inches away from her, while a smirk formed the corner of his lips.
“You think I’m making fun here right? You’ve been friends with her for a long time now and what makes you think she doesn’t trust you? I paid for your mom surgery in exchange for you to do what I want and now you’re trying to back off all in the name that you’re trying to get her trust huh?”He snarled angrily, slapping her hard across the face and blood came out from the corner of her lips.
“I’m sorry!”She muttered and the man chuckled darkly.
“You have only 24hours to get aerum for me,else you’ll be kissing your mom goodbye forever”He laughed manically, showing her his phone and A-Yeong saw her mom,chained to a chair, and a bomb connected to her. She only heard the screams when she walked in, without knowing it was this serious!
A-Yeong looked up with tears in her eyes.
“Why do you want her? What do you plan doing with her?”She breathed heavily and he chuckled.
“She’s my enemy! She’s my daughter’s enemy! She’s standing in between my daughter’s happiness and is only right I get rid of her!”He laughed while twirling the gun in his hand.
“You’re going to kîll her?”A-Yeong asks with wide eye and Mr chin-hae smirked.
“Not without getting in between her thighs! She humiliated me in their restaurant,so I’mma gonna deal with her!”He laughed and A-Yeong shook her head.
“No,I can’t do this”She cried.
“Then say a goodbye to your mom,you won’t see her ever again”He began laughing, while dialing a number.
The receiver picked up immediately.
📞”Hello sir?”
📞”You can tap the remote…..”
“I’ll do it!!”A-Yeong cut him off and he turned to her with a smirk.
📞”Don’t do anything to the woman for now”He said and hung up the call, before walking closer to A-Yeong again.
“You agreed to do this willingly,I never forced you so stop making me feel guilty okay? I h@?? the feeling”He patted her back while A-Yeong tears kept flowing.
“And remember,don’t involve any one in this, except aerum cos if you rat me out,your mom is a goner”he laughed and A-Yeong wiped her tears, while nodding her head.
“Remember,you have 24hours”He told her when A-Yeong meant to use the door, A-Yeong only nodded dejectedly before walking out.

<A MANSION>
Hyun-Woo mom looked up at the big gate,then at the address in the paper which she was holding.
“This is the house”She exhaled heavily, before knocking on the gate.
A security man came out immediately.
“Good day! I’m looking for Mr Won”She bowed and the guard looked at her closely.
“Do you have any appointment with him?”He asks slowly and she shook her head.
“If you want to see Mr Won,you have to make an arrangement before hand so he would be available. Right now,Mr Won is out of Seoul. Only his son is at home”The guard explained and Hyun-Woo mom eye glistened in happiness.
“Did you say son?”She asks,to be sure she heard well.
So she’s finally going to set her eyes on her son? After 18 f-__-king years?
“Can I see him Then?”she requested and the guard shook his head, refusing her bluntly.
“I’m sorry ma’am,but you can’t see him!”
“What’s happening over there?”They heard a voice from behind and the guard turned to see Mr Won son standing while looking at him,his hands in his pocket.
“Uhmm sir,the lady over here wants to see you!”The security man bowed respectively, while Hyun-Woo mom kept looking at the so called lost son in awe. Tears of joy escaped her eyes!
Her son have grown so much over the years! Gawd!!
The guy(Mr Won son) who turned out to be ji-hoon blinked repeatedly, expecting the woman to say a word but she was lost completely, staring at the handsome dude whom is pressumed to be her son.

<MR CHUL’S MANSION>
“Dad,I don’t understand. First was stopping me from going to school today and now I can’t even go out? Am I being grounded or what?”Beom-seok flared up while glaring at his dad angrily.
He just wanted to go out, only for the guards to stop him,all in the name that Mr chul gave the orders of him not leaving the house. Like who does that?
“Beom-seok,it is for your own good! That I didn’t say anything last night when you disgraced me doesn’t mean am dumb. How could you turn down Seo-Jun in that manner?”Mr chul retorted and beom-seok scoffed.
“Why are you bent on me getting married to Seo-Jun huh?”Beom-seok snorted and Mr chul walked closer to him.
“I’ve been friends with her dad for a long period of time, and Seo-Jun….you’re getting married to her,only the alliance will strengthen our friendship!!”Mr chul said which got a loud laughter, erupting beom-seok mouth and that confused Mr chul.
Why was he laughing?
“Jeez dad! I didn’t know you’re this funny seriously”Beom-seok said Admist laughter and Mr chul kept looking at him, wondering where this was leading to.
“Okay dad,since you’re interested in your friendship with Mr chin-hae and not my happiness. You can equally strengthen the friendship by getting married to Seo-Jun! That sounds great right?”Beom-seok asks I’m scarcsm which got Mr chul raising his hand to his face, trying to slap him but he folded his fist and brought down his hand slowly while glaring at beom-seok.
“You wanted to slap me? You can go ahead dad,but I’m never,read my lips dad. Never going to marry Seo-Jun!!”Beom-seok fired and Mr chul smirked.
“Have you thought about aerum? She’s the one going to suffer the consequences of your actions if you don’t think twice”He said and beom-seok closed her eyes while breathing heavily.
“Hope you’re not planning to hurt her?”Beom-seok asks slowly and Mr chul smirked more.
“I won’t, only if you get engaged to Seo-Jun then marry her at the right time!”He replied and beom-seok slumped on the couch, dejectedly.
“Why are you doing this?”Beom-seok asks, already at the verge of tears.
“Cos I’m your dad and I have every right to take wh@??ver decision for you!!”Mr chul replied and beom-seok heaved deeply.
“Have you thought about Ara? You were once in support of her,so aren’t you thinking how she will feel over there? Seeing you’re forcing me to get married to her sister? Can’t you do this for her if not me? You once wanted us to be happy together and Ara won’t be happy, seeing how you’re forcing me into a loveless relationship. Dad please, don’t ruin my happiness cos of your relationship. You’ve always supported Ara and I. Why can’t you do same now? I don’t love Seo-Jun dad,I love aerum and like I said, I can’t imagine a life without her!”Beom-seok pleaded, going on his knees in tears.
Mr chul sighed and looked away. If there’s one thing that hurts,that’s seeing beom-seok in tears. He might have the right to take decision for him,but in as much as he loved Ara like a daughter,he wouldn’t want to do anything that will make her feel sad up there.
He’ve always wanted them to be together and that’s why he gave them his full sport,now she’s dead…. forcing beom-seok to marry her sister wouldn’t it mean he never loved her? She’ll be sad and as clear as he still remember, Ara wouldn’t want beom-seok to be sad! Which means beom-seok happiness should be his priority.
“I’ll think about your request!”Mr chul said and left the living room.
Beom-seok stood up and wiped his tears before sending a message to aerum.
💌”Let’s meet!”
•••••
Aerum rolled the sleeves of her shirt up, before rubbing her knuckles slowly, trying to calm her tensed self.
She looked at the time and sighed tiredly. She’s still trying to understand clearly why she felt the sharp pain earlier today in school,it was quick yet painful. What was the pain for? And the blurry face who was that? She heaved and sighed again.
A hand slowly wrapped round her waist, and without being told who it was,she already knew it was beom-seok cos his cologne already hit her nose.
Beom-seok buried his face on her shoulder, exhaling her alluring scent.
“I missed you!”He muttered and aerum smiled before turning to him.
“If you really missed me,is that how to say it?”She asks, folding her hands under her chest. Beom-seok separated her hands and leaned closer before claiming her lips.
He wrapped his hands round her waist and pulled her more closer to himself, kissing her deeply. Aerum’s hands was wrapped round his neck with her eyes closed as they both kissed passionately.
“I missed you too!”Aerum muttered into the kiss with a smile and beom-seok broke it.
After few minutes,they both could be seen already seated in a coffee shop.
“Why didn’t you come to school today?”Aerum asks after having a sip from her coffee.
“Nothing much, something came up”Beom-seok shrugged lightly.
“You could have told me,I wouldn’t have been worried for nothing”She rolled eye and beom-seok chuckled.
“I’m here now sweetie”Beom-seok smiled and Aerum nodded.
“Can I ask you something?”Aerum began and beom-seok nodded, while sipping his coffee.
“It’s about your dead girlfriend actually. Don’t be sad if I’m bringing up her topic,I’m just…I’m just curious!”She bite her bottom lips and beom-seok removed his lips from the cup of coffee without placing it on the table, before nudging at her to Continue.
“Was she buried??”Aerum threw the bombshell and the cup of coffee fell off from beom-seok hand, breaking into pieces.
•••••
<NEXT MORNING~DEASHIM HOUSE>
Aerum stirred weakly and tireldy on the bed,as he kept reminiscing about beom-seok reply, concerning Ara’s corpse.
The answer wasn’t clear enough, but then something seems odd but..but what could it be? She was still in her thought,when A-Yeong rushed inside her room.
“What’s wrong?”Aerum asks, Standing up from the bed.
“I…can you come with me?”A-Yeong requested hurriedly, breathing heavily.
She just have few hours to save her mom, else she’s doomed.
“What’s wrong?”
•••••
<UNKNOWN LOCATION>
The bike screeched to a halt, Aerum and A-Yeong came down from it.
“This place looks odd! Why would beom-seok want to see me here? And come to think that his line is switched off! We saw yesterday night thou!”Aerum complained, looking around the vicinity.
“Stop complaining and let’s go inside already!”A-Yeong smiled, pulling aerum by the arm. They began walking towards the passage and aerum couldn’t help but wonder why beom-seok wanted to see him in such a place.
They where still walking,when A-Yeong brought out a hanky from her pocket and covered her face with it. Aerum struggled for a moment and soon,she slumped heavily on A-Yeong body.
“I’m sorry!”A-Yeong muttered and waved at one of the guards who helped her to carry aerum to Mr chin-hae.
“She’s here,can I have my mom now!!”A-Yeong requested and Mr chin-hae laughed. He brought out his phone and called one of his men and soon, A-Yeong mom was released. A-Yeong left with her mom afterwards, leaving aerum to face her fate.
Aerum’s life has just being put in danger,by her best friend!! How cruel! What’s going to happen once she wakes up?? Indeed no one should be trusted.
