Lunch ended and you continued your tour in Myeongdong. Mark and Jackson were really impressed with how you presented Seoul to them. Though this was not their first time in Korea, they learned a lot from your random trivia. Mark finds himself smiling whenever you animatedly tells a story, and that bothers him. He never did that after his wife passed away. The only person he would smile to is Michelle. Not even his friends can make him smile, so what makes you different? His thoughts were cut off when you offered him a box.

"This is a strawberry cheesecake. The store that we passed by at Myeongdong earlier is well-known for this. I just thought that maybe Michelle would like it." You smiled as you handed him the box

"Woah! When did you get this? You're like a ninja!" Jackson commented as he grabbed the box from you. Mark was too stunned to take it from you

"When you guys were shopping for her clothes earlier" You smiled. "I've never seen your daughter other than the newspaper, but I already know she's one lucky girl to have you as her dad. I hope I get to meet her someday"

"Oh you definitely will!" Jackson cheered. "Michelle would love this. Right Mark??" He nudged the still stunned CEO.

"Ah yes...Thank you" He nodded. How can one be so genuine towards her daughter? The other girls who tries to be nice to his daughter were either after him or any of his friends.

"So where are we having dinner?" Jackson bluntly asked as he looked at the time. It is now 7pm. When did the time fly?

"Uhmm that I have to apologize. I have to get back to the company" You looked at your watch

"Aww so no dinner for us then? You'll just abandon us?" Jackson pouted like a lost puppy

"Jackson! Stop being immature!" Mark lightly hit his bestfriend on the head. You chuckled at their bickering

"I have an appointment for dinner, but I can definitely take you guys out some other time! Will you guys be ok from here?" You asked

"How will you go back to your company?" Mark asked

"I can take the cab..." You looked at your phone and saw Myungsoo calling "Excuse me I just have to quickly take this call" You excused yourself

"Hey honey, I'm at your office right now. Nana said you went out with your new partners. Where are you? Are they driving you?" Myungsoo asked

"I...am actually at Myeongdong right now. I was planning to just take the cab to go back there...."

"NO! Love, you can't do that! I'll come pick you up! You better wait there"

"Ok ok...wait how did you get back to the city so fast? YAH! Kim Myungsoo!" You sighed when you heard the line ended

"That was your appointment?" Mark carefully asked. 

"Yes, my husband called. He said he will come here to pick me up" You smiled at him

"We can stay with you until he comes" Mark offered. He does not feel leaving you by yourself in a crowded place

"Don't worry I'll just wait in one of the cafes here. You guys should go" You thanked them then waved goodbye. 

"You are not hitting on her right? I mean really Mark Tuan? 'We can stay with you until he comes'" Jackson asked his friend

"I'm just worried Jackson. She's still a girl from a prominent family. We are responsible if something happens to her" He said

"I get you though man. I mean she really is like Myung Hee." Jackson looked at his bestfriend with pity.

*****

You decided to wait for Myungsoo at Caffe Benne. You ordered a cup of hot tea and started reading your work e-mails. You were about to reply to the e-mail that your secretary sent you when a familiar voice stopped you. 

"So fancy to see my object of affection here" Jason, a journalist from a well-known newspaper sat in front of you. He is the one who keeps writing news about you and Myungsoo and how the two of you will soon divorce because of your infertility. You never told Myungsoo who it was who kept harassing you of this news though. You knew he will just flip if he finds out that this man sitting in front of you kept on trying to flirt with you. Not to mention this guy is blackmailing you that he will release all the secrets of yours and Myungsoo's brothers. Including the fact that both families were once gangs that ruled in South Korea. 

"What are doing here? Leave me alone."

"Oh come on. You know what I want. Sleep with me and I'll stop those nasty news about you. More than that, I will not release the truth about your and your husband's family"

"Y-you need to stop. I'm married and no way will I ever sleep with you" You tried to stand up but he held you back

"Infinite and Beast. What would the world think if they find out that those two gangs are the Kims and the Yoons?" He mockingly asked

"Please...just stop this" You begged. You now regret not even telling your brothers about him.

"Then sleep with me. Who knows, maybe I can give you a child. Isn't that what you've always wanted" He started caressing your hand, and you actually started getting scared. 

"P-please. Just leave me and my family alone" You pleaded, this time with tears in your eyes. You are scared for your family, but now, you are actually scared of what this man can do to you. You just wish Myungsoo will come soon

"Oh come on. Just one night...I'll make sure you'll enjoy it" Jason his lips as he looked at you up and down

"How about I end your life in one night" Myungsoo appeared out of nowhere and pulled you behind him

"Ah...so here he is. The mysterious L who is part of Infinite" He said

"So you are the one who's been doing nasty write-ups about my marriage" Myungsoo glared at him.

"I would write more, but then I won't have anything to blackmail your wife with" He smirked at your direction

"You think I will just hand you my wife, let her sleep with you, because I'm scared of what my and her family was?" L smirked at him. "You're mistaken if you think we're scared of your little threats. Even if we're no longer active being a gang, we have friends who would do the work for us."

This time, Jason actually looked scared "I can report all this." He said

"Try, do it. I hope you would still be alive to see our company fall. Or would it even fall?" You have to admit, Myungsoo actually looked scary giving the threat. "So if you value your life, leave our lives alone" Myungsoo said before walking out the cafe

"So he's the one writing all those divorce crap about us?" He asked once the two of you were inside his car. You nodded.

"And he's been harassing you about this? About the world we were in before and our marriage?" You nodded in response

"Why didn't you tell me??! Damn it!" He hit the steering wheel out of anger

"I-I'm sorry" You held on to his hand

"No..I'm sorry! Damn! If I have known...I'm sorry baby..." He kissed your forehead

"I was just scared. I know everyone is moving on, so I didn't want to make all of you worry again" You admitted

"So you let him harass you? Love, listen to me. If something like this ever happen again. If anyone tries to hurt you or harass you, you tell me ok? It' doesn't matter how small you think the problem is, but you have to tell me" He made you promise. You nodded in response. 

"Good. Then let's go celebrate our anniversary" He smiled and started to drive off
