Hide and Seek
The Baby BargainThe first thing Hyun Joong did when he got to Seoul was to call his brother.
'Where are you? I am in the house.' He had searched for him when he arrived but the Bodyguards had told him he went out few hours ago. Hyun Joong really need to see his brother for an urgent issue.
Hyun jun sounded genuinely surprised on the phone. 'Aren't you supposed to still be in Guam?'
'I came back early. Something came up and I have to hightail it back to Seoul.'
'Your Wife hasn't returned.'
'I am not calling to talk about my Wife's return.'
'Is something wrong? You sound off. Are you okay?'
'I would be. How fast can you make it back to the house?'
'Right away. You sound as if you are about to die or something. I will be there in an half hour.'
'Alright. Will be waiting for you.' Hyun Joong disconnected the call and slid his phone into his pants pocket. He stared at the Laptop on his lap, finding details that confirmed so min as Amy, details he had missed before. He stared at the picture and groaned. I am so ed.
He closed the Laptop and stood up from his desk, tapping his fingers lazily against the rich mahogany. He knew who she is now and the sensible thing for him to do is to sign her death sentence. She might be good but she can't be better than his men. Sooner or later she would have me killed if I don't find a way out of this mess. Or I can just kill sato. With Sato's death maybe she would call it quits, but wouldn't she nurture some sort of revenge for his death? Kim Hyun joong, you are really going crazy.
Hyun Joong might see himself as a cold blooded murderer, a man of little compassion and a total lack of conscience, but can he have his wife killed? No. 'I am really turning soft,' he said bitterly. 'How am I suppose to go about this?' Hyun Joong drew out his phone from his pocket, fiddling with it and then decided to call her. She had called him to "inform" him she had arrived in New york two days ago, a blatant lie.
She picked up on the first ring. 'Waiting for my call?' Hyun Joong asked teasingly. He slowly released a sigh of relief. At least her voice sounded okay. Gosh I am still thinking about her welfare, am I brainwashed or something?
So min laughed softly. 'I just wanted to call you too.' She said shyly.
'Missing me much?' This is the first they would be having this kibd of conversation and it felt odd in an uncreeping way.
So min laughed nervously. 'Hmm, yeah. I just wanted to check on you.' She said as she played with a tendril of hair, ignoring Sato's annoyed look. 'Are you okay?'
Hyun joong looked down at his arm. He had carefully rebandaged it and hide it by wearing a baggy sweatshirt wearing baggy sweatpants to pass off the look. 'I am okay, really okay thanks to someone.' He said but So min missed the innuendo.
So min cleared noisily. 'Hmm I gotta go. We are burying James today.' She had called yesterday to tell him James had died.
Hyun Joong mentally kicked himself for for
