Hold On

Phoenix Sisters

The welcome back party held for TaeSooBer was a blast and success. They didn't know just how much of an impact they made on their fellow co-workers until now. The best part of it was that it ended up being a surprise because Jessica had told Sooyoung that she denied the request for the party. And since it was Jessica, everyone believed her. She is strict and firm. So when TaeSooBer had to pick up JeTiKrys at the place they were told to go, and instead only saw a dark room, hell almost broke out.

Simply put, TaeSooBer's alarm went up and Amber nearly punched one of Mr. Jang's face when he popped out of nowhere and yelled "Surprise!" with the lights on. But, all ended up well and everyone had fun. Even JeTiKrys. Now, all of them were on their way home. It was half past 11 pm at night. Good thing the party was held on a Friday night. Before going to their designated rooms, Taeyeon started a small chat. 

"Thank you. All of you. We had a good time tonight." Taeyeon thanked the heiresses with a smile. This made the heiresses stop in place. Sooyoung and Amber had bright smiles on their faces as well. 

"Yeah. We were definitely surprised." 

"I saw that you were stupid. Especially since you almost hit Mr. Jang." 

Amber sheepishly smiled and rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "But I didn't. That's all that matters."

"What made you change your mind about the party Jessica?" 

Jessica looked up from her nails upon hearing Sooyoung's question. Sooyoung smiled again and crossed her arms as she leaned forward a bit. 

With a nonchalant tone, the elder Jung responded, "I'm tired. Good night." And that was it. 

Sooyoung laughed at this response and waved goodbye. "Have a good night Blonde Stick."

No one saw it, but Jessica smiled when she heard that nickname. 

"So why did she change her mind?" Taeyeon asked Tiffany and Krystal. "I mean, all of you seemed to agree on 'NO' party when the department managers asked."

"Why? We can't change our minds?" Krystal challenged with sass. "Are you interrogating us now?"

"Huh? No. We just-"

"We changed our minds because the managers and our employees deserve a break once in a while. They have worked hard."

"That's it?"

Tiffany looked at Amber with a stern stare. "Of course. What did you expect?"

"Nothing!"Amber unknowingly raised her voice, before rubbing her nape shyly. " I mean, nothing." Amber softly answered with a smile. "That wasn't so hard to answer."

"It wasn't. Why do you think Jessica didn't answer? She knew all of you weren't that stupid. Except for her." Krystal pointed at Amber. "She is an exception."

"Yah!"

Taeyeon and Sooyoung chuckled and held Amber back from going crazy. "Have a good night."

"Wait. You." Tiffany pointed at Taeyeon. "Stay. I need to talk to you."

"Oooo...someone's in trouble." Amber teased. 

"Shut up Amber. Let's go." Sooyoung bowed to the heiresses and left with the unwilling Amber. Amber wanted to know what was going to happen.

Krystal shook her head and retreated to her room. Now it was just Tiffany and Taeyeon alone in the massive living room.

Minutes passed and Tiffany didn't utter a word. She just kept staring at Taeyeon intently with her arms crossed. 

"What do you need to talk to me about?"

"Jiyeon."

Taeyeon raised an eyebrow at the mention of that name. "Who is that?"

Tiffany scoffed and took some steps closer to Taeyeon. "Who? Are you playing dumb with me?"

Taeyeon shook her head. "What games? Who is she? Am I suppose to know her?"

"Park Jiyeon. She was at the party tonight." Tiffany rolled her eyes as she spoke. She was so annoyed right now.

"Park Jiyeon?" Taeyeon still seemed confused. And then, she finally remembered. "Ah! You mean Doctor Park?"

"No Kim Taeyeon. I was talking about Mother Theresa." came the sarcastic remark and rolling of eyes. "Of course I meant her!" She hissed in anger. 

"A simple yes would be okay. Why are you getting so worked up?"

"Why were you all over her tonight at the party?"

"Me?" Taeyeon pointed at herself. "I was not. She and I just sat down on the sofa and talked about-"

"Exactly! Do you not remember who you are in the company?! You are my assistant as far as anyone else knows. Why are you flirting with that doctor in public?!" Tiffany tried her best not to raise her voice.

"I was not. She-"

Holding up her hand and with a sigh, Tiffany asked, "Who invited her?"

"Well, she is Mr. Jang's niece and-" 

"What?!!! She's his niece?!!!" Tiffany didn't know this. 

"Yes. She attended the company's health fair remember?"

"I know that dummy!! I just didn't know she was Mr. Jang's niece!" That devious woman was the niece of one of her favorite employees??? Unbelievable.

"Apparently, she helped out with the surprise and wanted to join. What's the problem? I thought you guys allowed co-workers to bring family to the party?"

"Is that what she told you?" Tiffany doesn't believe it. 

Taeyeon nodded her head. "Listen Tiffany. Just because you and her got into an argument at the health fair a couple of days ago and-"

"That wench was asking for it when she said I was overweight. She knows sh*t about me!  Like, seriously? Look at me." Tiffany defended, pointing at herself. She was the embodiment of a flawless goddess. "I'm perfection." Tiffany said with a proud, confident smile. 

Taeyeon released a chuckle, much to Tiffany's dismay. "What is so funny Kim?"

"Park Jiyeon is a good woman. Don't fret so much over such small matters." Taeyeon walked over to Tiffany and patted her head soothingly. " Calm down and go sleep. Have a good night."

"Yah! Why did you touch me? You asking for a beating?!!"

Taeyeon merely shrugged off the threat and walked away.

Even when Taeyeon was gone, Tiffany couldn't help but feel bitterness in her heart. Taeyeon seemed to favor Park Jiyeon from the looks of things. And that bothered Tiffany...too much.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Did you know that some adult butterfly's average life span is 14 days?"

Jessica looked up from her documents to stare at a smiling Sooyoung who was standing next to her. "Why are you asking me this?"

"It's an interesting fact that I just wanted to share. That's all."

"Leave me alone."

"Will that make you happy?" Sooyoung inquired, bending over to catch eye contact with Jessica.

Jessica was caught by surprise at that question and especially by Sooyoung's serious tone. What is she trying to do?

"If I left and you never saw me again, will that make you happy?" came Sooyoung's question with her intently staring at Jessica, waiting for an answer.

What? Why is this Giant being weird now?

"Why are you asking me these questions?" Jessica countered, in all seriousness. "But then again, I wouldn't care. So if you leave, do so. I can care less." She nonchalantly answered with a wave of her hand.

"Really? You won't miss this beautiful face?" Sooyoung teased and wriggled her eyebrows.

"No." came the quick answer. And then silence again....

After a few minutes of staring and more silence, Sooyoung broke out laughing, confusing Jessica. "Relax Blonde Stick. I was just teasing you."

Out of anger, Jessica kicked Sooyoung's shin and elbowed her stomach. Sooyoung fell on the floor in pain from the suprise attack. With a satisfied smile, Jessica happily scooted back on her computer chair, stood up, and left her room. Sooyoung needed to feel some pain to remind her not to mess with Jessica Sooyeon Jung.

Once Jessica was out of the room, Sooyoung slowly stood up and let out a chuckle. She rubbed her shin and hissed in pain. There will definitely be a bruise there.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"I wonder, do you believe star-crossed lovers will have a happy ending ?" Amber tapped her chin thoughtfully.

Krystal stopped talking and turned around. This caused Amber to bump onto her. "You want to know the answer?"

"Yes."

"No. They are star-crossed lovers for a reason."

"Like us?"

Krystal didn't know what Amber was trying to do with such a strange topic but she had no trouble answering. "Yes. We will have no happy ending too. I hate you too much."

"Ouch! Hurtful." Amber answered with a sad pout and hands to her chest.

"Then why ask me that lame question?" Krystal asked,confused.

"Just felt like it." Amber happily whistled and walked past Krystal. "Come on. Let's go your highness."

"Shut up stupid."

When they got in the elevator, Krystal couldn't help but be bothered by Amber's question. She looked to the side to see Amber looking forward with a smile plastered on her face. 

"You."

"Me? What about the gorgeous, handsome me that you are curious about?" Amber retorted, still smiling.

"Are you-"

The arrival of the elevator prompted their conversation to an end as the two stepped inside. Krystal turned her head to look at Amber and immediately, the latter responded with a wink.

"Ew."

"What?" Amber asked with a chuckle. "Should I have blown you a kiss too?" she whispered into Krystal's ear.  Her teasing earned her a pinch to her side stomach. "Ow."

"Shut up stupid." 

"Yes ma'am." Amber obeyed with a childish smile. Amber glanced around in boredom since it would take a while until they get to the 20th floor since the elevator would stop here and there to drop and pick up more people. 

"I'm sorry. Excuse me." a man apologized as he bumped against Amber when people were squeezing into the metal box. He then took his place next to Krystal.

"It's okay." Amber replied with a smile as she changed spots to stand between Krystal and the man. Concerned, Amber asked "Are you okay?"

"Yes. I am. Thank you." He politely answered with a smile and rubbed his nape shyly. "I'm new here and I'm such a klutz."

"It's okay. Mistakes happen." Amber patted his shoulder empathatically. "I can help show you around if you want. I can be quite a klutz too."

"Really? That's great."

Having enough, Krystal observed this interaction and rolled her eyes. "Seriously stupid?"

"What?" came the innocent reply. "I'm just being nice to your employees. So what's your name?"

"Right." Krystal mumbled to herself. "Nice my ."

"My name is Jeon Kijoon." He answered with a sweet smile, to which Amber gladly returned with one of her own.

Amber and the new guy continued to chat and laugh with each other that annoyed Krystal to the point where she just wanted to knock their heads together.  Not just that, but the way how the guy was sweet talking with Amber annoyed her.

"Amber-shi.Your eyes are just so beautiful. I can get lost in them."

Nauseous was how Krystal felt when she heard that comment from him. But Amber? Amber was blushing and thanking him for such compliment. 

"Lame." Krystal said aloud.

"Excuse me?" the new guy asked, annoyed at Krystal's comment.

"I said lame. As in you are an -"

"Awesome guy Ji-won!" Amber quickly spoke up with a bright smile before a figh broke out. "I can't believe you graduated from Seoul University. That's a big achievement."

"Ah yes. Well I was in the top 1% of my class and -" and then everything was 'blah blah blah' for Krystal from then on. Such an egotistical guy.

Finally!

The elevator came to another stop and showed that they have arrived on the 20th floor. Krystal walked out but turned back around when she notice that Amber wasn't by her side.

"Yah! Are you coming or not?"

"I'll see you later. I'm going to show this handsome man here around and help him get to the right place." Amber answered and waved goodbye as the doors closed between them.

"Psh. Whatever. I don't care."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where's your so called 'servant'?"

Was the first question Jessica asked when their small meeting was adjourned. When they came out from the room with their parents, only Taeyeon and Sooyoung were there. 

"I don't know. I don't care."

"Hm. That's right. Where is she?" Tiffany inquired as well, looking around. "Where's your sister?"

Taeyeon shrugged. "We called her but she didnt' pick up her phone. Sooyoung and I thought that Krystal may have sent her on an errand or something."

Krystal shook her head. "I didn't. She made a new boyfriend in the elevator and is currently with him." came the bitter answer.

"Is that so?" Sooyoung asked to herself more than to the others. "Do I sense jealousy?"

"I sense immense pain your immediate future if you don't shut up Sooyoung." Krystal coldly answered as a dart whizzed past Sooyoung's head, barely missing her. "Bullseye." Krystal blew on her finger as if it was a gun and walked away to sit down. 

Sooyoung turned too look at the dartboard. "What the hell? That's not even close to a bullseye. The dart didn't even land on the board. Where is the dart?"

"Here." Taeyeon pulled out the dart from the sofa. "You could've been seriously hurt."

"Yah! Are you not going to say anything Blonde Stick?! Your sister can't even play darts. I could have gotten hurt."

"So?" Jessica nonchalantly said, reading through her documents. "Tiffany. Where is the data for this months budget?" 

"Here it is. Gosh. Those three are such babies." Tiffany was referring to Taeyeon, Sooyoung and Amber. "Amber threw a fit when they had to replace the janitors last week and now these two are complaining about a harmless dart."

"You call this-" Taeyeon held up the sharp, metal pointed dart in the air for Tiffany to see. "-harmless? If this dart landed on your , you wouldn't be saying that."

"Whatever dog."

"Wow." Sooyoung released a sarcastic chuckle and shook her head. "Unless you are trying to rap, that is a low blow Tiffany. And for the record, we have been the janitor replacement more than 10 times since we have been with you girls."

"No rap intended."

"What the?! Did you-did she just call me a 'dog' then?" Taeyeon was in disbelief and turned to Sooyoung for verification. "Did she?" 

Sooyoung nodded her head. "Sadly. And I thought I was the only one to call you that." She mumbled the last part with a chuckle to herself.

"That's it!" Taeyeon rolled up her sleeves and was going to teach Tiffany a lesson. But Sooyoung held her back.

"Control yourself. Don't put yourself to her level."

"That spoiled, inconsiderate brat needs a good reminder of manners and courtesy!!"

"Yeah. Listen to your b*tch Ms.Kim."

"What?! Oh hell naw!" Sooyoung pushed Taeyeon aside so as to teach Jessica a lesson but Taeyeon restrained by her. "Let me go! Let me at her!"

"My peasant and your dogs are the same." Krystal dismissively stated, giving TaeSoo a pitiful look. "Such a pity."

"Hello?" Sooyoung thanked heavens for the phone she just received because who knows what she would have done to Jessica. It was to the point that she was going to get cucumbers involved. "Oh. Hi Tzuyu. Yes, I can talk right now." Sooyoung politely answered but threw Jessica a glare before walking out of the office. 

Jessica scoffed. "Whatever. Who's Tzuyu?" She looked at Taeyeon for an answer. 

Taeyeon shrugged.

"Tell me."

"No."

"Tell her."

Taeyeon crossed her arms and stretched out her neck a bit as she confidenly answered, "No. Mind your own business."

"Must be Sooyoung's fling from the other night." Krystal blurted out loud, causing everyone to look at her with different reactions. Tiffany and Jessica was pure shock and surprise. Taeyeon didn't care.

"Fling?" Jessica inquired. "What fling? And from what night?"

"Sis. Don't you remember her? She is our company's new brand model. She has been working in this company for the past month. She was at the surprise party."

Jessica gave her a blank look. New model? 

"Yes Jessi. Chou Tzuyu from Taiwan?"

"How come I never heard of her?"

"Maybe because you were on your phone when your father was giving us the briefing about her. Are you sure you are the heiress of this company?" Taeyeon teased the older Jung, which didn't go well.

"You looking for trouble?"

"In fact, I am. And I found them. " Taeyeon pointed at Tiffany and Krystal with a smirk. "Double trouble."

"You take that back Kim or I will-" Taeyeon held up her hand to stop Jessica from talking anymore. "Excuse me children. I have a phone call." Turning her back to the heiress, Taeyeon answered her call.

"I'll break your phone right now and-"

."Ms. Park Jiyeon? Yes, I can talk right now."

Tiffany pulled an irritated Krystal back so that she can hear Taeyeon's conversation. Tiffany covered Krystal's mouth so that both she and Jessica can eavesdrop now.

"Park Jiyeon? As in Doctor Park Jiyeon? The one who called you fat?" Krystal pulled off Tiffany's hand and whispered. Tiffany nodded her head as she concentrated on the conversation. But she can only hear bits of what Taeyeon was saying.

"Yes. I can-Good to know. Sure. What time?"

"I see." Krystal nodded her head. "She has guts to call your precious Taeyeon."

"She is not like that to me!"

"Uh-huh. Your killer glare says otherwise." reasoned the younger Jung.

"Is she and Taeyeon...very good friends?" Jessica asked and as she did, she touched the tips of her fingers against each other to make her point. "Like this close of friends? Where they go out for coffee and dinner?"

"No. Yes. I don't know. She said no. I don't care." Tiffany then returned to reading the new hospital policies in front of her as Taeyeon stepped to the corner of the office to talk now. 

When Taeyeon came back, she was on the phone with Siwon. "Okay. Thanks."

"I have to go. Siwon and the others will be here in a bit. Don't do anything stupid." And then she was gone. Sooyoung, Amber and Taeyeon left them alone! Unacceptable.

Even when Siwon, Taecyeon and Heechul arrived, they could not appease the wrath of the heiresses. What did they do wrong they ask? Nothing.

"Where are they?"

"Who?" Siwon cowered back from Tiffany's hard stare.

"The idiots." Jessica emphasized, staring at Jonghyun.

"We don't know."

"Oh? Is that so?" Now it was Krystal who was questioning Heehcul with her skeptic stare. The officers were now cornered to the wall.

"Yes. Would we lie to you?" Heechul said with a chuckle.

"Let's find out." Tiffany retorted with a scary smile as Jessica and Krystal cracked their knuckles, as if ready to break some bones.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sooyoung scanned the restaurant looking for Tzuyu. It didn't take long before she saw the Taiwanese woman sitting on a table next to the window. With a smile, Sooyoung took a seat across from her and took the menu so she can look at it.

"I want a sirloin steak with mashed potatoes." Sooyoung said with a wink.

"Yah! Unnie!!" Tzuyu exclaimed with a playful smile as she took the menu back. " I was still deciding what to eat."

"Tzuyu. You better not be thinking about eating salad at an American-based steak house." 

"Maybe."

"Yah! Are you serious?"

"I'm on a diet."

"Yet you told me to have lunch with you at a steak house? Do you not see a problem here?" Sooyoung said with a chuckle. 

"No problem at all." Tzuyu said with a sigh. "I'm on a strict diet."

"That includes no protein?"

"I can only eat low-fat food. And chicken caesar salad seems like a good choice." Tzuyu smiled, with no sincerity at all. Sooyoung knew that the model really wanted some 'real' food.

"Uh-huh." Sooyoung called over the waiter and gave him the orders. "I would like a medium rare sirloin steak with mashed potatoes. And that young lady there wants your baked honey garlic salmon wtih salad on the side. No dressing. Thank you." And that was over.

Tzuyu didn't even have a chance to give her own order since Sooyoung just dominated her presence. "Yah! I told you I was on a strict-diet. I have a bikini ad next week."

"Yeah. I listened and know. But that doesn't mean you deprive yourself. You are slim enough. Besides, baked salmon is healthy for you and has protein. And, I made sure to order you salad on the side. Don't worry so much."

"But-"

"Listen Tzuyu. From all of your works so far, I see just how much you love your job. We may have only known each other for a few weeks but I am sure you won't do anything to jeopardize your career. Eating baked salmon won't make you gain 100lbs." Sooyoung joked. 

Tzuyu laughed along and agreed. "True. Thanks Sooyoung-unnie."

"No problem. Now tell me why you needed to see me so urgently. Everything okay?"

"Yes. I wanted to thank you for standing up for me the other day." Tzuyu shyly muttered, putting her hair behind her ears. "You know, since I took the job offer with Jung Enterprises, the other models have been-"

"Teasing you and degrading you because you are not Korean?"

"Yeah."

Sooyoung waved in the air with a dismissive hand. "Don't even give them your thoughts Tzuyu. We don't need people like them in our company."

"Yeah. But still-"

Tzuyu stopped when the waiter brought them their food. "Bon appetite!" Sooyoung happily mumbled and took a bite of her steak. "Heaven!!" 

Tzuyu smiled and took a bite of her salmon too. "You are a child. Sooyoung, would you like to go out with me after lunch?" She shyly asked and blushed a bit too.

"Where?"

"Somewhere. But if you can't, that is fine too. I don't want you to get in trouble with CEO Jung. " Tzuyu assured, not wanting Sooyoung to get in trouble with Jessica. She has heard good and scary stories about the older Jung.

"Blonde Stick is nothing I can't handle. Don't even think about her. Besides, she likes it better when I'm gone. So just eat!" With a big smile, Sooyoung ushered Tzuyu to eat up. "If you want to go out with me later, you will need all the energy you can. I won't slow down for you no matter where we go." She said with a playful wink.

Tzuyu chuckled and nodded. "Okay."

After a few minutes, Tzuyu finally realized something. "You call the Jessica Jung...'blonde stick'? Are you not scared of her at all? She can fire you!"

Sooyoung shook her head with a smile and pointed at the food. "Less thinking and talking. More eating."

"Can I think of only you then?"

Sooyoung stopped talking and slowly looked up to stare at Tzuyu. What does that mean?

Tzuyu smiled and continued to eat. "Eat Sooyoung. Less staring and thinking. More eating."

"Huh? Oh. Yeah."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the officers sleeping on their office sofas and couches, the heiresses sighed. It was already 6:37pm and still, TaeSooBer has not contacted them or returned.

"Wow. Even after making them work the janitorial job, those boys have not given in." Jessica stated, with a skeptic expression. "Maybe they are telling us the truth."

"Yeah. I agree. If they really did know where those idiots went, Heechul would have cracked already. He hates cleaning bathrooms that are shared by strangers. Like public restrooms."

"True. I would have expected Heechul-oppa to break down like a baby in the first 5 mins."

"Well, Heechul did swear he had knew nothing. And just to prove his point, he worked 4 hours of janitorial work."

"I'm sure he had the others do the bathroom cleaning." Krystal added with a smile as she fixed the blanket on Heechul.

"Where did Kim Taepoop go with that doctor?" Tiffany mumbled, but Jessica and Krystal heard it. They had the same question in regards to stupid and Giant.

"Giant better not be doing something illicit with that model. I will not allow her to tarnish this company's image and reputation."

"Well, no doubt that Stupid Liu is having a great time with the new guy. I found out from Manager Ji that she took him to the other facilities since he will be working with shipment too. He is probably trying to woo her with his 'I'm a genius' talk."

"Listen girls. Let's just do our work. They are adults and will come when they want to. Why should we care? Right?" Tiffany reasoned, taking a seat on her chair to work again.

"Right." was the simultaenous answer from the Jungs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thanks for helping me with Jihyun." Jiyeon released a sigh of relief as she sat down on the chair. Taeyeon and Jiyeon were currently at Cafe Ice after a long day.

"Jihyun is a crazy ex." Taeyeon stated the fact and took a seat across from Jiyeon. The waitress came and Taeyeon ordered two cups of tea. 

"Tell me about it. She just won't leave me alone even when she was the one that cheated on me years ago. That woman is unbelievable. It's been 2 years."

"Sorry to hear that. How do you feel now?" Taeyeon asked, genuinely apathetic and concerned.

"Great. Our relationship was rocky but I didn't want to give up. You know? It hurts that she would resort to cheating instead of just breaking up with me. At least then, I won't have to feel like I was lacking."

"It's her loss."

Jiyeon leaned forward and rested her chin on top of her palm. "And will you be my gain?"

Taeyeon spit out her water at the sudden question and quickly wiped . Jiyeon didn't even help because she was laughing.

"Sorry Taeyeon."

"It's okay." Taeyeon said with a smile. "It is funny."

"You don't seem so bad when you smile."

Taeyeon cast her a quizzical look. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you always look so serious. Even when I met you at the company, you were so distant. But now, it doesn't seem like it."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Smile more. You will be surprised at what a simple smile can do."

Taeyeon smiled. Tiffany said the same word to her before. "I know."

"Aw. I made you feel warm and fuzzy with my words huh?" Jiyeon playfully slapped Taeyeon's hands. 

Taeyeon immediately retracted her hand. "Sorry.I don't like people touching me."

"Well, your sisters and even Tiffany Hwang touch you. Why am I not allowed to?"

"I just don't like it."

Jiyeon smiled and crossed her arms. "You are interesting Kim Taeyeon. Here you are telling me you dislike me touching you but today, when I hugged you and held your arms, you didn't reject me?"

"That's because I was caught by surprise. And you begged for my help."

"So you held back your discomfort because you were worried for me?"

"Listen. Is there anything else you have to say?" Taeyeon changed the subject. "I already helped you with Jihyun, who I assume was your urgent matter."

"Yes. I have another thing to say."

"What is it? It is getting late and I must go back home."

"Don't worry. This isn't something that will require touch. It only requires your ears to listen."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Groans and grunts could be heard in the dark, empty baseball field. There was no other person there at that time of night except for two silhouettes engaged in a fight. Punches were thrown and kicks were given. 

With one loud scream of intense pain, one of the fighters finally fell to the ground as the other immediately took advantage of the situation. Taking a deadly grasp on the fallen fighter's collar, the victor spoke in a stern, warning tone.

"Listen and heed my warnings Jeon Kijoon. Although I am sure, that's not your real name. But I don't care about that. " Pulling the frightened, bloody faced man closer by his collar, the victorious individual continued to speak in a cold, merciless tone.

" You thought that I didn't notice how you purposely approached Krystal Jung this afternoon in the elevator? You believed that I didn't see the tiny blade you hid under your sleeves as you failed to slit and make a quick run? " The grasp on Kijoon's neck got tighter. He was starting to have a hard time breathing.

"Let-let me go!!" But Kijoon's pleads were ignored.

"And you honestly believed, I was oblivious to your intentions? Huh?!" The grasp on his throat was only getting tighter as he received a few punches in between.

"This time, I only broke your leg and an arm. If I see you again near Krystal Jung, her family, friends, anyone or anything associated with her, I will not hesitate to kill you. If you get near the chair she sits on, I will kill you. If you touch her car, I will kill you. If you even go to the same cafe or store as she does, I will kill you. If you touch her hair or even breathe anywhere near her body, I will kill you. And if you even stand on the same ground as she is, I will find you and kill you. Next time, I will break all of your bones and be assured that I will kill you. And I, Amber Liu, will be the last face that you see as you take your final breath. Do you understand?" 

Breathing hard and uneven, Kijoon nodded his head.

Satisfied, Amber let him go with a hard push. She stood up and stared at his pathetic being with her unsympathetic, merciless eyes. "Tell Hyuna that I am sending her dog back to her. Also, tell your master not to test my patience. Or else, I will make sure she regrets it. If she is smart as she claims, she won't need me to send her a third warning. If I do have to send Hyuna a third warning, I will personally come to do it myself. And if that happens, she will wish she waited until our agreed time."

With those last words, Amber walked away and disappeared into the night. The darkness has always have the infinite ability to hide everything. Even blood and words that Amber could only keep in her heart.
