You scrunched up your nose. The stink smelt sure made you woke up. You felt the wet on your face.

“Ireona, !” You slightly opened your eyes. You just realized you got splash with water. You tried to remember what had happened. You shot your eyes open, searching for certain guy.

“Myungsoo! L, where are you?” You shouted his name. Someone pushed your head.

“Stay silent, . If you don’t want to die.” A trigger sound being pulled heard. You gulped as you felt the cold metal on your scalp.

“W-who are you? What do you want?” The guy behind him chuckled.

“Sorry, pretty. My target isn’t you, but you surely a good bait for deal with him.” The guy said. You narrowed your eyes.

“What did you do to him?!” You asked. Well, that princess is here anyway.

“Calm down, nothing bad happen. If you don’t be a little cute kitten here, I won’t think twice to shot you dead in the skull.” The guy warned. You gulped.

“Don’t ever try to touch her.” The cold tone made you look forward. L was walking towards you, with slightly limping.

“Myungsoo! Kuenchana?” You tried to get up in spite of being tied to the chair.

“Hush there, !” The guy behind you pinned you down. You winced in pain.

“Yah, I told you not to touch her!” L shouted.

“Well, you’re not the boss here, Lee Sungmo…or should I call you, Kim Myungsoo?” Another voice heard from your behind. L snickered.

“What do you want?” The guy chuckled.

“By your tone, I know you know who am I, right?” L narrowed his eyes.

“I won’t forget the culprit that killed my brother!” L shouted in rage. You scared by the look in his eyes. You also didn’t really get the things they were talking right now.

“Recognize me by voice? Sorry little prince, this is not my real voice.” The guy got up from his sitting, revealing the masked face with revealing mouth. L saw the smirk, somehow feel familiar with it. The guy walked passed you and the other guy behind you.

“Kris, retreat the gun. She’s from Kang’s Golden Castle, we shouldn’t mess with them.” The guy said. L smirked.

“Sort of getting scare by the rich?” L mocked. The guy chuckled.

“Sorry, but I don’t want to hurt anyone which not related to our game. But if it was meant to be on the game, I had too.” A knife drawn from his sleeve and thrown away to your direction. You shocked to see the sharp end going straight to your face but stopped 1mm before your eyes. L was shocked too, almost got the guy and now grabbed the collar.

“Woah, don’t move me or her eye will hurt.” L looked at the hand and saw the attached string from that guy’s hand to the knife. The knife turned back to the hand. L let go off the collar.

“I thought you want to take off my mask…” The guy said. L was about to do that but that guy stepped back quickly and in split second, made a head lock on L with the knife next to his throat.

“L!”

“Hush, girl. You aren’t suppose to scream.” The guy behind L said. L hissed.

“What do you want actually?” The guy smirked.

“I don’t tell you the full story yet, am I? The reason I want to kill you and your brother, Lee Sungyeol…” He laughed out loud. L tsked.

“.”

“Woah, no cursing my dear brother.” L was taken a back with the last word.

“Who are you to talk me like that?!” The guy chuckled.

“I should begin the story now, I guess.” The guy smirked. L just lay his eyes on you.

(flashback)

Few years back

“Umma. Don’t leave me.” A boy sobbed beside the old bed. The house also awfully lost and dusty. A woman was dying on the bed, with her son beside the bed sobbing his eyes out.

“My son…can you promise me?” The boy looked at him.

“Umma, promise me you won’t leave me.” The boy begged in his cries.

“I had to go for now. But I won’t leave you, son. I will always protect you. Now, son. Promise me?” The woman coughed. The boy who was scared nodded. The woman smiled.

“In my bag, there’s a paper with a number on it. There’s a guy I want you to meet, you will live with him. He… will tell everything about what you want to know.” The boy looked at his mother.

“Umma…”

“You need to get back what I lost, son. I ask you for that. Promise me.” The mother raised her hand to ruffle the boy’s hair. The boy nodded.

“Neh.” The woman smiled and her eyes closed slowly. The boy cried his lung out, calling for her mother.

He looked at the guy he met. Not a guy, more like an old man. “Who are you?”

“Miss Kim’s son?” The boy backed a bit.

“Kim Sunggyu, is that your name?” The boy nodded in fear.

“Glad that I found you now.” The old man bowed 90 degree. “Welcome back, master.”

 The boy blinked his eyes. “What is this?”

The old man smiled. “I will tell you everything. As you’re calling me now… Miss Kim. Rest in peace, ma’am.” The old man prayed.

He brought the boy in. The boy noticed another boy in that house. That boy stared at him.

“Kris, don’t scare people like that!” The old man scolded that boy. “I’m sorry, master. He’s quite rude. But will be an useful assistant for you. I personally take him in order to protect you, he’s in your age. Kris, give a bow to your master.” The old man said.

The boy named Kris bowed. “I’m your soon-to-be guard, Kris.”

“Master. I will tell the whole story now, from how your mother, Miss Kim lost her heritage to her own husband and the husband cheated on him, gradually getting Miss Kim out of the house. All we are set here is for revenge, to those made Miss Kim suffered.” The old man said. The boy looked at him.

“Instead of Kim, you should be Lee. Lee Sunggyu, the rightful owner to Inspirit corp., or the recent name, Infinity corp.”

(end of flashback)

“So all I want is a revenge. I do want that old man to suffer the loss of his beloved one. But I don’t get it why he isn’t waver by his own son’s death.” The guy said. L’s breath hitched.

“You…the teacher…” The guy laughed.

“Just realize?”

“That’s why your smirk some kind of familiar to me.” The guy smirked.

“Well, I do leave a deep impression to you, am I?” L snickered.

“ off, brat.” The guy released the head lock but still let the knife on L’s throat. He moved, facing L. The mask was lowered down, revealing the face. The face of the evil.

“Hi, my adopted brother. Aka cousin.” Sunggyu greeted again. L narrowed his eyes.

“How deep you know about me and my background, lost ‘cousin’?” L stretched the last word. Sunggyu smirked.

“Deep enough to know your feelings for that girl, since middle school? Or elementary school?” Sunggyu said in mocking tone. L held Sunggyu’s hand and moved the knife on his throat, it drew blood. You widened your eyes to see the dripping blood.

“Myungsoo!”

“Kill me, if that’s what for your revenge, and let her go.” L said. Sunggyu chuckled.

“Well, well. I kinda in a good mood today, not wanting to kill someone.” Sunggyu shot a glare on L. “But I want something else.” L looked at him sharply.

“Heritage, all of this mean for revenge is that, Myungsoo…ops! The name just slipped itself. Sungmo yah, I want to make a deal with you.” L looked at him, irritated. Sunggyu chuckled.

“But there’s another one I would snatch away from you.” L wrinkled to the sudden words. The scream made he turned.

“you!” The knife grazed slightly at the skin on your arm and drew blood. “You said you won’t mess with her!” Sunggyu laughed and pulled away his hand from L’s grip.

“Mess, in my dictionary, kill. Not hurting. I could torture her for you, a little revenge for big humiliation she left for you. Can this brother of you took the revenge?” Sunggyu said. L hissed.

“Stop whatever you’re planning on her! The revenge, only me will do that on her!” L screamed in anger. Sunggyu chuckled.

“Well, then let’s make a double deal. To save her from my torture, you need to leave two things. Heritage and love.” Sunggyu said. L looked at him closely. Sunggyu walked to a side and picked up a blue file.

“After you got the whole asset on your name, it will automatically will transfer to my name. And for her to be safe, you can’t go near to her. Kris will always there to kill her without a trace and so do you. Those idiots of your and her guards won’t caught on our flawless jobs, like today.” Sunggyu said the deal. L looked at him and turned to her.

“Do you really mean about love thingy? I don’t have that special kind of thing on her.” L said. You looked at L. Somehow hurt with those words. Sunggyu smirked.

“I know you more than you know yourself. Deal or not?” Sunggyu sent a signal to Kris. He let the knife ran on the skin again. You hissed in pain.

“.” You cursed while biting your lips. L looked at you.

“Such a pathetic. Give me pen.” L said.

“Woah, don’t want to read beforehand?” Sunggyu asked.

“I never had intention to inherit that position. Just glad you’re here, well you’re not someone else, but the Lee’s blood-related too. So why would I think twice? Just, after I got the position and handed to you officially, let me stay in peace in Japan.” L said.

Sunggyu smiled. “No worry on that, I can arranged anything for you after that heritage become mine.” L took the pen and signed the document. Sunggyu grinned when the file in his hand.

“Good boy. I will let you having father for some more years. Just wait till I went to take my last revenge on him.” L widened his eyes.

“Yah! You never mention about that!” Sunggyu chuckled.

“Can’t go against my word anymore, you signed this. It was stated here too. So the love, include that father of you, Sungmo yah.” L hissed.

“.”

“No cursing boy. Let me state clearly about you and that little miss.” Sunggyu said and turned to you. “Oi, Miss Kang. Em, wait. Are you now Kind Kang, Princess Park or Miss Lee?” L wrinkled. You cursed in pain. Sunggyu chuckled.

“I did awake Princess Park, am I?”

“Shut up, jerk.”

“Woah, easy. Let me draw a clear line. In this document, state that you two can’t be together. I hold both of your life in my hand. If one of you ever came across the line, you will die. So start to forget each other. No love involve, stay as enemy.” Sunggyu said loud. L hissed.

“She’s always my enemy, don’t worry.” Sunggyu chuckled.

“Indeed you’re my ‘cousin’.” L shot his infamous death glare. Sunggyu chuckled.

“Kris.” Kris nodded and untied your hands and legs. You tried to look at his face but the mask covered all his face. Sunggyu turned to L.

“There’s a car waiting out there. You can be home safely. In one year and half, let meet again on that old man’s funeral. Sorry to say, his death already planned long time ago, so you can’t went against it, Lee Sungmo.” Sunggyu patted L’s shoulder. L slapped his hand away. Sunggyu chuckled. Kris came to Sunggyu.

“We’re leaving.” Kris and Sunggyu disappeared behind a wall. L walked to you.

“Kuenchana?” He looked at your wound. You sighed.

“Small wound. It’s okay, how about you?” L touched his neck.

“I’m fine, let’s go.” You pulled his hand. L stopped.

“I mean, you.” L turned. His eyes met yours. The silence companied you guys for a while.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let him do something to you. You’re now safe, so keep…being enemy.” L said and pushed your hand away. You looked at his back. A single tear fell from your eyes. You knew…that’s mean the end between you and him.
