SAME DAY**
A COFFEE SHOP
Ella and Soo-min got out of Lucyâs car, chatting as they made way into the shop. They were out to get takeout, so they decided to buy cold coffee too since So-hee couldnât make some at the office
âDonât you think something is off with Rhett?â Soo-min asked and Ella nodded
âHeâs looking illegally hot nowadaysâ She said dreamily
Soo-min shook her head and tapped the counter to get the attention to the attendant, then she placed the orders
She leaned on the counter facing Ella
âI feel like he overworks So-hee intentionallyâ She said and Ella shrugged
âWhy do you think so?â
âMaybe cause he likes herâ She said as a matter of fact, sheâs seen on many occasions how heâd stare at So-hee and even laugh at her silliness
Ella chuckled and collected the bags from the attendant, after paying they started walking out
âImpossible⊠even if he does, we all know So-hee likes Felixâ She replied
âShe never said that. Did she? Besides sheâs like that towards everyoneâ Soo-min said and Ella stopped walking, thinking what she said made sense
What if So-hee really didnât like Felix
âOuch, then thereâs gonna be chaos in the near futureâ Ella replied and pushed the door open bumping into someone, luckily none of the cups spilled
âIâm so sorryâŠâ She apologized
âAre you blind?â Came Zoeyâs harsh response causing the attention in the room to divert to them. The girls smirked when they recognized it was Zoey
âI said I was sorry Zoey, you donât have to scream like a retarded donkeyâ Ella snapped and Zoey gasped
âWhat do you mean by that little brainless twerpâŠâ Zoey retaliated, Soo-min decided to step in since she figured both ladies wouldnât mind staying there to hurl insults at each other all day
âWeâre sorry Zoey, now will you please move out of the way?â She asked politely
âTchâŠwhat do I expect from Shineâs stupid $lĂŒtsâ Zoey spat disdainfully and Ella didnât hesitate pushing her out of the way roughly
She and Soo-min laughed mockingly
âAtleast weâre donât intend stealing peopleâs ideas like Ling Festâs old hagsâ Ella mocked and they laughed all the way to Lucyâs car
They got in and met Lucy on an audio meeting so they sat quietly, soon she started the car and drove out
Zoey stood rooted to the spot still stunned at Ellaâs mocking remark. She clenched her jaws and angrily stomped away without entering the cafe

HIGHWAY**
Anna and Ho-Seok kept glaring at each other while passersby stopped to watch his next reaction.
He touched his face, then his lips which had a small cut due to how hard the ring on her finger collided with his face. He ruffled his hair and exhaled, he took her hand forcibly and dragged her to where she parked her car
âGet inâ He ordered and she did without wasting any time
âWhat was that for Nari?â He barked while she kept breathing heavily
âShut up! Why was Min-ji with my fiance, why arenât you with her?â She asked, looking very fierce
Ho-Seok chuckled and wiped the blood from his lips
âFiance? Anna didnât you openly break up with him? Now all of a sudden,heâs your fiance?â He said and laughed hysterically
Anna got angrier, she felt like ripping off his face.
âDonât change the topic Ho-Seok, werenât you supposed to marry Min-ji? What on Earth is she doing with Ace?!â
âWe broke up!!â He yelled back and ruffled his hair. He was also finding it difficult seeing Min-ji and Ace together, now this crazy ÆĂźtçh was adding to his problems
âWhat!!â Annaâs face reddened and she yelled out in frustration
âI want my Ace back, all to myself Ho-Seok, I donât give a FĆŻĂ§Æ how you do it but get Min-ji away from him, heâs mine alone!â She snapped, looking like a monster willing to pounce on itâs prey
âHow do I do that, sheâs not my fiancee anymore, besides she hates me nowâ He said suddenly feeling angry..but at what exactly?
He sighed, he was angry at himself for letting Min-ji go, now ever determined to get her back
âI donât care, get out of my car freak!â She yelled and he scoffed
âNari, next time you touch my face, Iâll not hesitate to hit you back..ÆĂźtçh!â He cussed before stepping out of the car, banging the door behind him
Anna rolled her eyes and picked her phone, switching it on and immediately her momâs call came through
âArgh, Seriously?â She voiced out angrily, why wonât her mom just let her be for goodness sake
âAnna Lee Nari! What were you doing with Ho-Seok, donât you know heâs your sisterâs greedy ex?â Her momâs voice scolded immediately she received the call
âTo hell with you mother, stop calling me continuously and whomever I meet with shouldnât be your concernâ She snapped
âAnna..â She hung up before anything else could be said.
Anna scoffed and looked around through the windows, she sighted a man in black staring keenly in the direction of her car
âFĆŻĂ§Æ you mom!â She cussed igniting the engine then speedily drove away
***
Eun-Hae sat on the chair tiredly after Anna cut the call. Yeah,sheâs Annaâs mother and God knows how much she loves her but she doesnât know where she mightâve gone wrong to make Anna hate her so much
She sighed then looked at Min-jiâs photo with Ace
âAnna wonât take this lightlyâŠâ She mumbled and smiled as she looked at the photo again
Sheâs just glad Min-jiâs happy, maybe moving out was the best option for her. Sadly, Min-ji also hates her even the air she breathes irritates her
All because of her impulsiveness, she ruined everything
âMaâam, you called for me?â A man probably in his late fifties said breaking into her thoughts, he was dressed like a butler
She dropped the phone and looked at the man, nodding
âYes, I want you to book me a ticket to Seoul for tomorrow nightâ She said and he nodded before leaving
Just then, minister Lee entered the room, he was just returning from work and he looked quite tired. She stood up quickly, moving away from the chair
âWelcome Tae, how was work today?â She asked but he didnât spare her a glance
She smiled anyway
âAnna is back from Australia, she returned yesterdayâ She said again but he ignored and climbed upstairs
Her lips quivered but she masked it up with a tight smile and then sat down

EVENING ( SHINE PARKING LOT )**
So-hee stood leaning on Rhettâs car while holding her bag to her chest, frowning at intervals
â$1000, what a waste of money⊠just for a saucer? God forbidâ She shrugged at her thoughts and kicked her legs like a child
She checked around but there was no sign of Rhett. She sighed, he was talking to Clement and Lucy earlier before she left, she was getting tired already
Felix whoâd be looking everywhere for her smiled when he saw her, he hurried his steps to where she stood
âHey bunnyâ He smiled and she looked up smiling too, sheâs not been able to speak to him properly in the past few days and damn sheâs missed his taunts a bit
âMeanie!â She called and looked around
âDid you see Yi-jun on your way out?â She asked and Felixâs expression changed to a confused one, who is Yi-jun?
His brows creased in realization as his gaze ran over her, did she just address Rhett by his native name? And that too freely?
What exactly was he missing hereâŠ
âHey, hey! Are you hallucinating?â Her voice jolted him out of thoughts. He chuckled and ran a hand through his hair
âInstead of waiting here for him, why donât we go grab a bite, besides what could possibly happen if youâre with me?â He asked hopefully
So-hee sighed and looked around again, still no sign of Rhett. She then looked at Felix, he was right what could possibly go wrongâŠ
âSo..â Felix urged and she nodded. He smiled and took her hand while she held the bag properly then they walked out of the lot
As usual they were talking but this time Felix spoke less, he kept staring at her as she talked and laughed. Sheâs the most beautiful creature he has ever seen.
While still heading to the eatery, Rhettâs car came to a screeching halt beside them. He stuck his head out of the window looking effortlessly hot, he directed a pointed stare at So-hee and she looked down
âGet inâ He ordered, then forced a smile at Felix but this time it wasnât returned, instead Felix scoffed and looked at So-hee then spread his arms for a hug
âBye, maybe some other timeâ She smiled hugging him briefly
âStay safe and alert, you never know who your enemy might beâ Felix said and Rhett smirked, So-hee entered the car already
âDonât worry about that editor Shin, Iâm here, good nightâ He said and whined the glasses shut then sped off
Felix balled his fists and kicked the floor angrily. What point was Rhett trying to prove?
Why was he so interested in So-hee all of a sudden, didnât he dislike her before?
After venting out his frustration, he sighed and headed for the bus station
In the car, So-hee kept stealing glances at Rhett as he drove but luck was not on her side cause their gazes locked when she looked again
âOh..â She bit her lip and took her eyes away fixing them on the road ahead
Rhett too said nothing and concentrated on the road
She cleared her throat and he smirked
âSpillâ
âI didnât mean to leave, itâs just he was going to pay for the mealâ She said childishly, batting her long lashes
âWill you have dinner with me? Iâll pay the billsâ He asked and she sank back into the chair, he sighed
âDo you hug everyone you see? Itâs not a good thing yunno, what if the person is an assassinâ He scoffed recalling how easily she went into Felixâs arms
âBut Felix is not an assassin⊠so I..â
âStop hugging him, I donât like itâ He snapped and her eyes widened, why did he care anyway
âSir..?â
âSo-heeâ
âI meant Yi-junâ She scratched her head and glanced at his side profile, she gulped and nodded slowly
âGoodâ He muttered
***
The drive was swift since there was less traffic on the way, the car halted in front of The Kimâs residence, So-hee had received a call from her mom on her way so she asked him to drop her here
Rhett unbuckled his seatbelt too and stepped out, he observed the place with his hands tucked in his pockets
When So-hee came to the side he stood, she smiled and waved
âGoodnight Yi-junâ She started walking away
âNot so fastâ He said and she stopped turning to look at him, questioningly with lips pursed, he was now in front of her
âHug meâ He blurted and she gasped
Like..did he just ask her for a hug? and that too after asking her to stop hugging Felix
What was going on in his head⊠She tried getting angry but weirdly she found herself embracing him.
She closed her eyes and just enjoyed his warmth, he hugged her back and they stayed like that for a while, till she broke it when she remembered where they were â In front of her parents place, knowing her mom, sheâs sure Mrs. Kim saw them already; that patrol lady
âGoodnightâ She ran off shyly
Rhett chuckled and watched her till she entered the house before entering his car, driving away afterwards
So-hee slammed the door shut only to turn around and meet the gleeful stares of her mom and dad andâŠ
âMin-ji!!!â She called surprisedly and Min-ji grinned, squealing excitedly. Theyâd actually seen how she hugged Rhett outside and now they were thinking otherwiseâŠ
Mrs. Kim wiped an imaginary tear from her face and sniffed
âIâll be a grandma soon, my babyâs all grown up and she made a good choiceâŠthe boy is so handsomeâ She said and So-heeâs jaw dropped
âThat was my boss momâ She whined and Min-ji scoffed
âMy @$$â
âLanguage Min-jiâ Mr. Kim cautioned and she zipped her lips
Mrs. Kim rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her waist
âSo who hugs his or her boss like thatâŠ. you held him so tightly, we feared he might dieâ She said and So-hee sighed, sitting beside her dad who started massaging her shoulders
âWhereâs Yu-ri?â She asked as she hadnât seen her around
âThat girl has been spending more time upstairs these days and honestly itâs scaring me, can you believe she did all her chores without being forced to, then ran upstairs to her roomâ Mrs. Kim said, shrugging and Min-ji giggled
âIâll go see her, that thief, she stole my credit cardâ So-hee sneered and stood up running upstairs
âGo easy on herâ Mr. Kim yelled and laughed, knowing how that might end⊠either Yu-ri will frustrate So-hee till she runs out of her room or So-hee will beat Yu-ri to a pulp
Mrs Kim sighed and shook her head
âMin-ji, come letâs set the table for dinnerâ She said, Min-ji nodded and followed her into the kitchen

â UPSTAIRS >>
Yu-ri jumped back and landed on her windowsill, she sighed as she made it safely, not like the distance was much anyway
She looked back into his room and scoffed
âBoring designsâ She said loudly as she sat down on the windowsill throwing her legs back and forth, waiting for him to return
Today she didnât do anything to his room, she only had a tour around it
She was still waiting when her door was pushed open, and So-hee entered
âYu-ri, Jesus what are you doing?â So-hee gasped as she quickly rushed to drag her into the room. She thought Yuri was about to commit suicide
âEonni.. I wouldnât die even if I fall from here, jeez!â Yu-ri grumbled
âWell I wasnât taking chances, if you died, who would I kill.. like right nowâ So-hee said and tweaked her ear
Yu-ri yelped,
âSis⊠ouchâ
â My credit card, where is it!â So-hee snapped still holding tightly
Yu-ri pouted and faked crying, she wasnât giving her the card no matter what
âSis, that hurts!â
So-hee scoffed and started faking the sob too, increasing her voice alongside Yu-ri but she didnât let go of Yuriâs ear
âBig sis..â Yu-ri called
âBaby sis..â So-hee called too as they continued their fake cries
