"Why?"

It was a simple question, but the answer posed to be heavily loaded. Ahn Min Hyuk stared at his desktop toy as he pondered Secretary Gong's question.

It bothered him. His heart skipped a beat.

'Why did I take that hit for Do Bong Soon?' Min Hyuk felt like he was on the verge of the next big game, the edge of the "No Return" cliff. How he felt right before Chronicals of Albertine became successful.

It was unsettling and nerve-wracking. Exciting. 

He needed time to think more alone.

Standing up quickly, he pulled his office door open abruptly; there. The object of his disconcerting thoughts stood.

Do. Bong. Soon.
