Joohyun was walking in the hospital hallway, lips curling up into a wide smile. She couldn't anymore hide her own happiness after that small talked she had with Seulgi's doctor. After Taehyung, her Butler, informed her that Seulgi's doctor wanted to talked to her, she immediately make her way to the older man's office. She don't know why but she got this feelings that something will going to happen.

As she entered the doctor's office, a man in his mid-50's, wearing a white coat, an stethoscope hanging around his neck and an spectacles lying on the bridge of his nose, greeted her. However, the man seems oblivious of her presence because his attention were caught up staring at the white sheets he's holding in his hand. Joohyun cleared to catch the man's attention, which she successfully did afterwards when the man slowly lifted his head and glance at her direction. Automatically, a gentle smile grazes his lips, placing down the paper in his hand and his spectacles on top of the table he greeted, "Ms. Bae, glad you're here. Come in."

Joohyun bit back a polite smile as she carefully close the door and step inside, taking the sit infront of the man's table. "My Butler told me that you wanted to talked to me. Is it about Seulgi?" she carefully asked afterwards. 

The man pursed his lips and leaned back on his seat. Nodding his head he say, "Yes." 

Joohyun gulped. She suddenly felt nervous and she doesn't know why. There's this feeling that something is going to happen, but she couldn't figure out whether it is good or bad. "Is it something bad? Do I need to worry about it?" She couldn't stop herself but asked. If something bad will going to happen to her sister, she doesn't know if she can still take it. The accident was enough, anymore bad things to come might wreck her into small pieces and crush her heart.

The man drew in a deep breath. He open the small drawer on the right side of his desk, pulling out a long brown folder before pushing it infront of Joohyun. 

Joohyun raised her brows, puzzled. Seeing the confusion on the girl's face, the man just simply nod his head as though telling her that she doesn't have to worry and just open the folder. A small smile of assurance tugging up from the corner of his lips.

Hesitantly, Joohyun decided to reach for the folder and slowly opening it. Reading the content, her eyes slowly widen. Surprise, disbelief and happiness were all playing on her face at that moment. She raised her gaze at the man, the looks of disbelief were all visible now.  The man smile at her and nod his head again as if he could read her thoughts.

"This is..." 

"Seulgi's test result." the man finish her words with a gentle smile. "She's doing great this past few weeks. The progress, though it's really rare for someone who just got involved in an accident to fully recover in just a short amount of time, it's truly impressing to say that Seulgi manage to do it." He smile again "Your sister is truly a tough girl for making things possible."

"You could say that, Doc" Joohyun say between tears. Proud is just an understatement of what she really feels at that moment, but she really is happy to hear that her sister did all of her best just to achieve this kind of good result eventhough it just only a month since that terrible accident happened.

"I could say that the main reason for all of this is you, her own family" The man said, catching the brunette's attention. After the short paused, the man resume his words, smiling "I saw the determination on her face when we're doing all of those test and therapy on her. It's strong and deep. It feels like it's really coming deep within her heart." he pause, his eyes averted towards the small window of his office, staring at the vicinity outside. "At the very beginning, she really wanted to prove something, you could easily notice it the way she move, react and even the way she talked to me. It's never new to me seeing someone as determined as her because why not? Who wouldn't want to recover immediately and do your usual things, right? "he shifted his gaze from the window back to Joohyun who was looking at him, listening attentively to whatever he's saying. He smile a little as he continue.  "And I'm contented enough to figure out that it's because she really care for all of you, that's why. Since the very moment that she was just lying on her bed, helpless, the only thing that was running on her mind is to finally recover because she don't want to see all of your gloomy and worried faces again."

Joohyun sniff, wiping off the small liquid from her cheeks with the back of her hand while biting on her bottom lips to restrain her tears and the overwhelming emotions from bursting out "Even when we were still a kid, Seulgi was always the tougher one between the two of us. She always manage to pulled me up when I felt that I'm about to lose up. Those personality of her was something that isn't new to me, Doc. Her fighting spirit is much higher compared to me and no one could ever deny that." she faintly smile, her gaze drop to her lap staring at the white sheets in her hand, clutching on it as if her life depends on it.

The man hummed. "That's explains everything to me, Ms. Bae." He breath out, nodding his head "There's only one test left and after that we can finally be able to discharge Seulgi. My secretary will discuss everything to you regarding on the discharge process tomorrow."

Joohyun nodded her head, smiling gratefully at him, "Thank you, Doc."

After that, Joohyun bid her short goodbye to the man and finally exited the office. She couldn't wait to tell her sister about the good news. Thinking about Seulgi's bright and smiling face after telling it to her, makes Joohyun's smile grow wide.

Back to the present, she was already near to her sister's room when she suddenly heard some deep voices from the right corner of the hallway, opposite to the hallway that will lead her towards Seulgi's room. As curiosity struck her, Joohyun turn to her right. She took a small careful step towards the corner, avoiding to make any disturbing sound that could attract their attention, hiding behind the walls she cautiously peeked her eyes. Squinting her eyes, she figure out that the voices were all coming from her dad and his men. They were all gathered in the middle of the hallway, almost occupying the area. Her dad was sitting on one of the seat settled at the right side of the hallway, his hands were on his knees supporting his chin, he look depressed about something and Joohyun couldn't help herself but frown about it, while his men were all standing infront of him. It seems that they're talking about something's serious and maybe confidential too. Since she couldn't clearly hear them, she tried to press her left ears more onto the wall. Her plan somewhat succeeded since she could now barely catch up with whatever things they're all talking about. 

"About the culprit.." she heard Suho, the leader of the group and her dad's right hand man said, "...we couldn't still get any information about him, Boss. It seems that he knows how to manipulate things and keep his track on safety."

Her dad breath out, fingers running through his hair tugging on it in both disappointment and frustration. 

"What else do we have, Suho?" He asked in a hoarse voice. 

Suho stared at the man dumbfoundedly, he haven't given the chance to respond when the older man decided to speak again. "The more that it takes us long to figure out whoever he is, the more the chance we'll lose him. I'm expecting a lot from you, but you're only disappointing me." He looked up, his hard stare makes the latter bow his head, avoiding to meet his eyes. 

"I'm sorry." the only response.

Her dad drew in a deep exasperated sigh. He leaned back and shut his eyes for a moment, it seems that he's in a deep thought "What do you have in mind, Suho?" He asked after a couple of seconds, eyes remains close. 

Suho lifted his gaze, staring at the older man for a moment, contemplating before he spoke, "We're planning to make a trap" 

Conrad open his eyes in an instant, "A trap?"

Suho nodded, "
