SUIT & TIE: Prejudice

 

Upon hearing a good news, Soon Young was seen wearing a bright smile knowing that he’s having a nephew or niece soon. He was staying with his brother for the meantime while Seungcheol was out for a business trip.

 

“Mom!” Soon Young called his mom using the Choi’s landline to deliver a very exciting news he’s sure she’d love.

 

His mom was startled by her son’s tone of voice when he greeted. “Soon Young, what’s wrong? Where are you?”

 

“Mom, I will have a little playmate soon! Jeonghan hyung is pregnant! This is so exciting!”

 

“Is that so? How is he?” asked Na Young gladly.

 

“Well, he’s not in a very good condition. He’s in his 8^th week of pregnancy but had no clue about it until now. His doctor advised him to have a full month complete rest.”

 

“I see. Tell him not to think too much. I will visit soon. It’s such a good news!”

 

“Mom, Seungcheol hyung is not here, so I think I’ll be staying here in case Jeonghan hyung needs something.”

 

“Sure son. He needs you there. I’m going to be fine here, so don’t worry.”

YOON’S RESIDENCE

Putting down the phone, Na Young picked the kettle up with brewed tea and poured into two cups. “There’s a very exciting news my son had just brought us, Mr. Choi.” Walking near the old man, Na Young, now standing independently on her feet was of an obvious sign of being capable. The wheelchair was just a prop for quite some time now as she chose not to reveal her complete recovery yet.

 

“It seemed so. At least we could taste a little happiness in this situation.”

 

“I agree.”

 

Discussing Jeonghan’s pregnancy was of a great news. Although the sensitivity of him carrying the child got them worried. The two hoped Jeonghan and his child could survive the situation. Especially now that the secret feud among families were slowly taking into much heater fight.

 

The next to discuss was the series of problems they’re holding. That included the hunt of Minhyuk’s possible murderer, although his body hasn’t been found yet. Na Young handed him a piece of envelope with several but highly regarded as suspects. SeungWon was surprised with the evidence presented to him and he couldn’t help but clutch his hands in frustration.

 

Meanwhile, looking at the old man, Na Young spoke her sympathy and said “I’m sorry for all of that, SeungWon. It’s just that the evidence and the motives are strong against those few.”

 

SeungWon understood. “I know. Thank you for this.”

 

“Although, those are not final yet. Don’t act immediately because there’s no strong proof yet.”

 

“I will try not to.” Thinking about how his son died because of him.

 

 The second in line was Jae Won, Na Young’s husband. The agent has been dipping himself into a bigger danger without thinking of his life. He went away and would probably find answer and justice which was hard to achieve when he’s alone.

 

“You don’t have to worry about him. He’s a very strong and brave man. The only thing he’s afraid right now is to lose his family. I’m sure you understand how he feels.” Smiling “You two are the same anyway.”

 

This time, SeungWon handed him a folder containing the exchange for his favor. “You’ll be glad with that news, Na Young.”

 

Na Young looked at the folder and saw a face and a profile of the person she really wanted to find while SeungWon began discussing again. “You are lucky for having him near you. It’s up to you now.”

 

Seeing that her boy was kind of in the different side, Na Young felt hopeless. “I don’t know but I’m glad to have found him at last. I’ll figure this out. Thank you.”

 

Na Young cried in happiness. She became speechless as she looked at the picture of her now, grown up son who got caught innocently in the middle of her game. Her son was used against her. They abducted the poor child as a way to get back to her and from there on, she had no news or any leads of the boy’s whereabouts. Now that she knew that her son was safe, it made her really happy. Wanting nothing but to get reunited again.

 

Unfortunately, all the problems won’t just stop when Na Young opened up about that the young governor of Seoul who had visited her for a negotiation.

 

“I should stop for the meantime, SeungWon.”

 

“Do not be afraid, I am here to back you up.”

 

“You have to understand that I still have my family to take care of. Soon Young is around these cases and I have to stop him first before he gets killed.”

 

SeungWon frowned. “I don’t think you can stop the boy, my friend. He’s a smart one like you are.”

 

Na Young displayed an annoyed expression and told the other “You too should watch Seungcheol your own.”

 

That revelation surprised him “My son?” thinking that he’d probably making the same mistake Minhyuk took that lead him to his death.

 

“We need to cool down a bit, SeungWon. Especially when Seungcheol managed to call the CIA for help. The second one.” Na Young noted as Minhyuk was the first one to call CIA’s attention. “I think it’s better for us to rest. And don’t worry, if they take me down, there are people who’d reveal their secrets anyway.” Na Young smiled. “I won’t lose.”

 

SeungWon couldn’t help but to stop the argument and chose to leave but before he left, Na Young would like to give him a good news for that matter. “You know, Seungcheol is a good kid. You should be proud.”

 

SeungWon wanted to listen and stood still for a few moments.

 

 “He sends us gifts every time whether there’s an occasion or not.”

 

“He is?” SeungWon chuckled. “I remembered when he first came to our family. He’s such a sweet little boy. My wife loved him at first sight, although, he’s from another woman. Minhyuk did the same. He’s obsessed with his little brother.” And laughed.

 

“You are very lucky for having your wife. If I was her, I’d kill you on the spot bringing your child from another woman in my house.”

 

SeungWon laughed. “Yeah. You are right. She’s the only person who understood me for years. And I am so stupid causing her too much trouble, including our son’s death.” SeungWon suddenly became sad remembering how stupid he acted when he had a very reliable woman by his side. “She doesn’t deserve me at all.”

 

“Well, what can I say? We both know how it feels being the black sheep of the family.” Na Young sighed bravely. “It even cost my son’s life too.”

 

“You cannot blame yourself from doing what is right. Sure, you both are wolves with sharp fangs, but you two are great parents. Trust me.”

 

“Thank you. I know you are doing your best too.”

CHOI SHIPPING_MAIN OFFICE

EVENING

 

Meanwhile, Vernon arriving at the office to fetch his boss going directly to the airport, he noticed that he was with another man. It annoyed him seeing his boss with his recently married childhood sweetheart kissing without hesitation in the office. Thankfully, nobody was present in the room but them.  In addition, Vernon felt bad for Jeonghan and for the child he’s carrying for allowing these things to happen in his watch. He knew it wasn’t for him to handle. Personal lives of his bosses were of their own. However, after getting closer to the family he’s serving, he felt offended that moment, even though, he and Jeonghan knew how their relationship should work.

 

The guilt growing inside him everytime he’s seeing Seungcheol with another man, giving Jeonghan an unfair treatment all the time, couldn’t be contained anymore. Vernon made a noise. Playing obvious just to let them know that there’s someone watching. Unfortunately, other than that, all he could do was to wait until the two were satisfied.

 

Vernon was thinking that he should reveal about the child his favorite boss was carrying but he’d be violating Jeonghan’s order if so. With that, no matter how hard he thought of doing so, all he did was to calm himself down and abide what Jeonghan had asked him.

 

After a few moments of awareness, the two went out. Finding Vernon at his post, EunWoo greeted him casually. “Good evening, Vernon. Sorry for the mess. See you! I should get going.”

 

Vernon bowed and waited for him to pass by before redeeming his head back. Later on, Vernon gave Jeonghan’s letter to Seungcheol as instructed. Seungcheol got curious with the message Jeonghan passed on through Vernon but chose to ignore it for the meantime as he was about to go to an important trip. The letter was intended to be read later as Seungcheol kept it in his suit pocket wearing a smile after reading a hint of insult written on the cover.

 

“Let’s go. Did you pack my things in my new luggage?”

 

“Yes, boss.”

 

“How is he now?” Seungcheol asking discreetly about Jeonghan.

 

“Not fine. But he’s advised to get some proper rest for about a month.”

 

“Let mother know, so she’d come and take care of him. Did you inform his brother?”

 

“Yes. He’s with him.”

 

“And the new bodyguard?”

 

“He said, Jeonghan hyung sent him home after discussing their routine while he’s resting at home.”

 

“Good. Let’s go. I’ll be meeting someone at the port first.”

LEE SEOKMIN’S LAW OFFICE BLDG.

NIGHT

 

Later that evening, outside SeokMin’s office from a 4-storey building, there’s a mysterious man whose face was covered by denim cap looking to his direction from the second floor. SeokMin saw the man restlessly looking through his French window and back to the surroundings while packing things on his way out of the office. It caught his attention and thought that maybe the man was waiting for him. He went down and meet the person. 

 

Driving his car, the stranger met eyes with him in front of the gates. SeokMin took no fear but familiarity. He knew the man and decided to talk to him. His car went closer as he opened the window and said “Good evening, Officer JaeWon! In the car. What do you need from me?”

 

The first thing that the man had done after riding the passenger’s seat beside the driver was to stare at him. “Nothing. I just want to see you. I know you won’t be able to recognize me after a long time but, I have a favor to ask.”

 

SeokMin was serious about the conversation but later on, smirk formed on his lips and said “If it’s interesting, then, count me in.”

INCHEON PORT_ MIDNIGHT

 

On the other hand, Jun was on his way somewhere to the port alone. He was wearing his working clothing which was an all-black suit and with him, a few armory hidden inside his military bag.

 

“On my way.” Said him over a phone.

 

“Roger that.” Said the person from the other line.

 

It was night, Seungcheol was standing by the port with Vernon beside him. They were waiting for someone to give a document near the sea as planned. Meanwhile, a man came just right in time. Seungcheol gave the paper and said “Don’t mess around. It wasn’t that big yet, but it would totally madden them.” Said him to the person who just came and approached them.

 

“Got it. Stay safe. You are our only way in.” replied Jun whom Vernon was surprised seeing that night.

 

“You.” Mumbled Vernon.

 

“Good luck!” said Jun.

 

Before they’d be gone to a highly sensitive mission, Seungcheol looked at his assistant and said “Help me do this, Vernon.”

 

“How about Jeonghan hyung?”

 

“He is important but I can’t let myself fall for him. That’s the least I can do for us in this marriage.”

 

Vernon with fierce eyes looking at his master with disgust. Seungcheol noticed. “I can see you, Vernon. There’s nothing you can do. Jeonghan preferred it too.”

 

“Let me take care of things. Just go back to him. Losing your brother had bad effects on you but if you plan to lose Jeonghan hyung too, you are sure would end up hopeless.”

 

“Let’s not talk about this, Vernon. You know my answer.”

 

INCHEON INT’L AIRPORT

Flying to their first destination which was Berlin, Seungcheol became really quiet. He’s gone serious as well as his assistant.

 

Meanwhile, powerful people from around the world had set off as well to meet their partners in Berlin as planned, including one of the most influential family in China lead by Xu Minghao together with his assistants.

 

CHINA INT’L AIRPORT

 

“Wonwoo, could you smile a bit? You are giving me bad luck.” Scolded Minghao with a fancy chill voice trying to tuck himself into a fluffy flamboyant wardrobe.

 

“It’s not me, boss. Maybe you should stop your vices. Moreover, wearing not highly functional clothing and accessories may damage a part of your brain as well.” Said Wonwoo in return. He also looked at Minghao fiercely trying to find something to scrutinize with his boss’ absurd fashion style. For him, it’s just a sore in his eyes. “Remove you sun glass. There’s no point wearing it when there’s no sun. It’s scrapping the common sense out of your brain.”

 

Minghao was ever annoyed every time his assistant would scold him in such displeasing manner. “Watch your mouth.”

 

“I did not start the conversation, boss.” A smirk of a winner on his face.

 

“Tsk! I found you the most interesting person in the world, Wonwoo. You contain two personalities that I most love and hate the most.” Sitting in comfort to his business class reservation.

KOREA_

 

The next morning, Jeonghan had such a great sleep for the first time, he could never tell that it’s half past lunch time already. So, the breakfast Soon Young had prepared would be eaten as Lunch. The young officer wanted to stay. Unfortunately, he had his duty to attend to, so he’s asking the new bodyguard to look after him while he’s gone.

 

“Good morning!”  Jeonghan greeted. “I hope you already have your breakfast. Sorry, I’m late.”

 

“That’s nothing. Just get all the rest you need. Serve my future little playmate well. Off to work.”

 

Jeonghan was glad seeing his jolly brother. “I miss you, Soon Young.”

 

“I will be right back. Seungcheol hyung asked me to stay with you for a while. Mother said that too.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

“Vice President, what should I do?” asked Seungkwan.

 

“Oh! I will leave you some documents, find my finance person. Ask him to come here after he review these.” Giving the first half of the documents.

 

“Yes, sir.”

 

“You can call me Jeonghan or Jeonghan hyung.” He smiled

 

Seungkwan smiled lovingly. “I will. I should get going.”

 

“Take care. I might call you later to run some errands for me too before you go home.”

 

“I was asked to stay here until night, sir.”

 

“Who?”

 

“Sir Vernon.”

 

“I see.” Jeonghan chuckled. “Then, let’s enjoy the day.”

 

Before Seungkwan went out, he greeted Jeonghan “Congratulations Jeonghan hyung. I will do my best to look after you and your child. I learned some medical things when I was in college. I hope I can help.”

 

“That’s great! I think you are going back to school.”

 

“Yes. I have a schedule three times a week.” Seungkwan smiled. “I owed you a lot.”

 

“Don’t say that. I am expecting a lot from you Seungkwan.”

 

“I will do my best.”

PRECINCT_

AFTERNOON

 

On their duty, Soon Young had to respond to the tip off. He was armed joining the people who would bust the said warehouse.

 

Currently, his team was getting inside a new location and later on distinguished to be a dangerous operation as soon as they’ve calculated the people and the name of the cartels involved. As much as they planned the operation to be successful, they were asked to be watchful because it wasn’t an ordinary gang they’re going to encounter.

 

The operation was with the coordination of the CIAs. Soon Young, was the person behind the tip off.  Soon Young made way to discreetly deliver a message using informants (CI). He ordered them to go to the police and give the information he’s given them without revealing who was the person behind.

 

“We’re in place. Roger.” Confirmed all of them.

 

“20 david in command, ordering to go in… now!” commanded their captain. “Go now! Now! Now!” rushing in to the barricades bombarding the ongoing operation.

 

Dangerous exchange of fires were heard all over the place. It lasted for a bit. Fortunately, the police wins though they left some bodies in the midst of the attack. Luckily, the enemies has more bodies to count and only 2 with them. Still a sad case.

 

Then, the next was responded around afternoon. It was of different team. Soon Young was still the mastermind. He was the man behind the operation and now, under an army. Different people, different impression. Soon Young planned well. He cannot be found otherwise he’d turn into a lifeless body.

 

“Operation carried.” Called Soon Young from a nearby station with a payphone.

 

“Good job.” Said the one on the other side.

 

“Next plan, Allegro (codename)?” asked Soon Young.

 

“The Spy is working on it now.”

 

“Gotcha!”

 

“Just calm down a bit, Adagio (codename of Soon Young). Precautions.” The other advised.

 

Given their nicknames and contacts anonymously, Soon Young had no idea that he’s talking to his brother’s favorite tailor, Jun, from the other line being the part and the main strategist of their team. They were working together since Seungcheol gave him the second mission -after discovering Jun as his agent.

 

On the other hand, after the cease order to the young cop, Jun was getting ready with his rifle spying on the next target. It was night at Berlin. The half English Italian agent, Valentin Paget (Jun), was on his position. Lying down on the roof in a cold weather, ready to capture the big ones with Seungcheol and Vernon on it.

 

BERLIN

NIGHT

 

Vernon was ever watchful that night. It was full of guns. What more if it fires. It would be a bloody night for all of them. No guarantee they’d survive, but they should. It was just the beginning and they never wanted to mess up everything they planned. Not until they achieve their goals- their freedom which Minhyuk had risk his life on.

 

Products have been showed and tested in front of the potential buyers and investors. Jun and his team were waiting for the right time when people would feel safe and proceed to their selling. The moment people were already signing and it was Seungcheol’s time just before he touched the pen, a shot was released killing the one in front of him. There’s Vernon to retrieve his boss and protect him from the obvious cross fire. Surprised while backing off, Vernon gritted his teeth in annoyance due to the lack of information about the plan “! What is he planning?” He murmured as he hid both of them behind the car.

 

As Jun said “The less you know the better.” With the purpose of being genuine in terms of reaction. The more shocking Seungcheol would appear, the less suspicion.

 

The fight was getting intense. CIA had to get close. Jun was posted where he could guard Seungcheol. When he had the chance, he signaled his informant to go in the car and run because it was about time that he’d take care of the rest since people were already escaping.

 

The rest of Jun’s team never know that he’s protecting an informant inside the Mafias. He decided to keep it a secret since he wasn’t so sure yet if his people could all be trusted. Since Seungcheol was his responsibility, he had the duty to keep him alive and safe, of course. As the shots were continuously being fired to every gang in that area, Jun made sure that the others were distracted far from Seungcheol’s vehicle. “Get the big ones.” Referring to either Germans, Russians, Mexicans or Chinese. “Once we have them, we’ll catch the little ones.”

 

Since they were only a few, even though being dubbed as the most dangerous soldiers in the world, they couldn’t prevent a few injury. While driving, Vernon saw how Jun protected their car from his comrade’s gun with a sudden appearance before them to cover their car until he got a quite safe distance. “Keep your eyes on the other side. Go, get them! One side to get Russo. One to the young Chinese mafia and lastly Schneider.”

 

“Yes sir!”

 

One man noticed his injury despite the black clothing “Are you okay, sir?”

 

“It’s just a flesh wound. Go now!”

.

SEUNGCHEOL’S CAR_

ESCAPE

 

“Is he alright?” asked Vernon.

 

“He will be.” looking at his best friend whom he heard groaned in pain earlier in the exchange of fire “You okay?”

 

“This is nothing.”

 

“You should have let me carry a gun. I feel weak without them.”

 

“Cannot do that, boss. This is my job.”

YACHT_ BALTIC SEA

NIGHT

 

Busted.

 

Little did the first negotiation know, there has been busting all over the world. Not only theirs. Not a very good day for business, huh?

 

Everyone was mad about it. Meeting in a yacht with their angered face. All the alliance has been bad mouthing and shouting. Vernon knew that it would be so bad and they needed to act. Good thing his wounds were a good props. Actually, Seungcheol had acquired one on his thighs as well.

 

“Damn it! They’re just behind us now!”

 

EunWoo was there too. He wasn’t present in the scene but it startled him with the news inside the yacht waiting for them with the others who were preparing for another important things than the negotiation on site. He was arranging ports for deliveries when he heard the news. Now that he spotted Seungcheol bleeding out from his thighs. He became worried and ran to them. “Hey, you both alright?”

 

It added to EunWoo’s worry when he saw stains of blood all over Seungcheol’s shirt. “You are in a bad shape! Call someone!”

 

“It’s nothing. It’s the other man’s blood on my bloody expensive suit. !”

 

Minghao had his ears wounded as well. Thank goodness he had a good annoying bodyguard to save him quick from being the next target. He was too annoyed holding a piece of ice on his ears. “I will kill those people and their families! Let’s see who win.” He grunted threatening the CIA who attacked them.

 

“Better have yourself check first.” Said EunWoo calling a doctor friend he met in Berlin. Of course, he’s onto business too. They docked to the nearest port in Poland and called him for help.

 

On the other hand, CIA had caught one big fish, though it was unfortunate that they couldn’t extract anything from him because he died from a gunshot unexpectedly pierced his head on the spot.

 

“! His clumsiness saved him.” said the soldier with his rifle on ease at his one hand and holding a cigarette on the other.

 

Meanwhile, Jun was observing people and the scene “This is such a mess. Get the police. Let them collect these.” Referring to the mess all over the place (the bodies, the drugs and other evidence) “This are trash. We need to get some gold. Keep your watch.”

 

“Yes, captain!”

 

Jun was feeling his wound. He was becoming dizzy and good thing they have a good doctor in their team.

 

“Thank my love for action, Captain.” Preparing his medical kit to attend to their wounded captain who’s resting on the corner. “If I hadn’t join the army, I will be just a boring doctor in the hospital. I am cool, am I?”

 

Jun smiled and said “Great, I say.” He chuckled but it was lately replaced with moans of pain.

 

“Oops, didn’t warn you in there.” Chuckled the doctor.

 

“ you!” Said Jun with crisp even though in a soft volume.

 

“My bad.”

 

“You going back there?” asked the other soldier pertaining to Jun going back in Korea.

 

“Needed to go back as soon as possible. They cannot know. I’m undercover, so I better do the other job as well.”

 

“How about our man in their side.” Revealed the other soldier. Jun was confused if they knew about Seungcheol or perhaps referring to another man the government sent to spy inside another group.

 

“Who?” asked Jun.

 

“I don’t know his identity completely. I was just informed.”

 

The other crossed his arms and added to what his comrade had said “While you were going back and forth here and in Asia, Boss has been dispatching trained soldiers to be spy.”

 

“I hear many tragic missions. Worst, dead bodies of our comrade. But there’s been one trying to survive. They said he’s with the Chinese.”

 

“How is he?” asked Jun feeling the danger if he’s alone in the enemy’s den.

 

“He’s been installing there for quite long. More than a year, they say. He’s earned a great favor from the leaders. So, I guess he’s in good hands for now.” Answered the soldier.

 

“How did you communicate with him?”

 

“He called us.”

 

 “Why I haven’t informed of this?” asked Jun in confusion.

 

“The boss made a dispatch hoping that they could survive. It’s a suicide mission.” Scoffed the other. “Haven’t met him in person but I was the one to call him to give a few instructions after he got in. It’s been a while since he contact us. Thought the man was dead.”

 

“Well, that’s a good sign, is it?” hoped the other.

 

“It took him so long, I hope his efforts won’t go for nothing. Let’s pray for his safety.”

 

“I see. But you should inform whoever he is that I am a partner. Let’s hope that he’s not included in these dead bodies.” Said Jun.

 

“Roger that. He said he’ll make a contact again.”

 

“Get back to your posts.” Ordered Jun. “If he contacts you again. Give him my contact. Tell him to reach to me as soon as possible. Is that clear?”

 

“Yes sir!”

 

“I’ve met the other one in Korea. Will inform him too.” Added Jun.

 

“We are all scattered, are we? These ing criminals are all over the world. Can’t even take a good rest with my family.” A soldier sighed.

 

“I have to go now. Take care you guys.” Jun walking carefully with his wounds.

KOREA

 

Even though his pregnancy was kind of unexpected and extremely exhausting, Jeonghan was excited seeing his little angel soon. He’s been taking care of himself for his baby to be healthy. Jeonghan had to be extra careful because filaudite’s pregnancy was harder than of women. Although he’s also worried on how Seungcheol would take the news. He hoped that he’d accept their baby even though he doesn’t want to have one in the first place.

 

He’s still working home and even though he’s busy, Jeonghan knew when to stop. Moreover, Seungkwan was of great help. His new assistant was working overtime just for him and he’s very thankful for his efforts.

 

There’s this job, and invitation, Jeonghan was asked for. He loved to be the model of Lancelot but he hasn’t told them yet about his pregnancy. He’s been coordinating with Moon Olivia, the only lady in the family, and it was the time to fit them. The only missing in the collection were the little details that Jun was supposed to bring from England.

 

LANCELOT_

DAY

 

 

Jeonghan finally arrived at the shop and met Olivia.  Seeing her was a great sight. Her beauty was glamourous and her body was still fit despite having 3 kids.  

 

“Good day, gorgeous!” said Olivia.

 

“Good day!”

 

“You are blooming today.” She said in surprise after seeing the glitter on Jeonghan’s eyes.

 

“Well, I got a good rest and the best gift.” Answered Jeonghan. “Did Jun said that I’m getting fat?”

 

“Getting fat?” Olivia was surprised once again. “You looked a bit thinner though.”

 

“No. I have been eating a lot.” Jeonghan giggled. “I’m sorry, but if my waist would bother you, you can tell me. I can understand.”

 

“Can you tell me why?”

 

“Well, I’ve been pregnant for about 3 months now, just learned it not too long ago. I didn’t even notice.”

 

“Well, that’s a great news! Don’t worry honey, you will still look good at those. Trust me. You are such of beauty, Jeonghan.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

“Jun will be handling you in the photoshoot because he’s the main designer. Besides, I will come back to London soon with my pending schedule. Sorry about that.” she giggled.

 

“It’s alright. Thank you for choosing me.”

 

“Oh dear, how can I not choose you. Besides, Jun pretty much agreed. And the inspiration came from you, nevertheless. The new design was meant for you, Jeonghan, my dear.”

 

“I am flattered and very much honored. Thank you.”

ENGLAND_

 

Jun got back to England to report to his father regarding the mission. Instead of seeing him well, supposed to be standing confidently, Lancelot saw him with bandage around his body. Moreover, both dextrose and a pack of blood connected to him.

 

“Son, are you alright?” assisting him with the dextrose on which his subordinates assisted.

 

“I’m fine, dad. It’s just a small wound.”

 

“In the stomach? Are you insane? You do not know what you are talking about.”

 

“I’m fine. I had it checked by a professional. Don’t worry.”

 

“How many times do I have to tell you to be cautious? This kid! If your father was alive, he’d tie you up inside a rice sack.” Scolded Moon Lancelot- Jun’s foster father.

 

Jun chuckled. “That’s harsh. I will report him to the authorities if he’s done that.”

 

“Would you like me to do that to you right now? You are not a kid anymore. You brat! But…” a little smile tinted the old man’s face. “Marco would be proud of you, son. I hope after this operation, you’d choose to go full time in my shop. I am worried about you.”

 

“I won’t die.” Jun assured with a calm and smiling face.

 

A tough love pat on the man’s shoulder. “Now go get some rest before you go back. Your sister is already asking for you.”

 

“Will fetch the accessories first.”

 

“Got them all covered. They’re on your luggage already.”

 

“Thanks!”

 

The old man winked charismatically.

COAST NEAR POLAND_ YACHT

 

The business people should make a new plan. It was of a big hassle for everybody losing more than what they invested. Now, they decided to stop for a while and it’s maddening. At least they were not arrested. They could always find a way to regulate a better strategy. Business is a risk anyway.

 

“This should halt for a matter of few weeks.” Suggested EunWoo. “It’s very dangerous to move right now.”

 

“Should we frame someone else? Just to buy time.” Minghao suggested to stop some suspicions that’s directly pointing at them and eventually to their protector in the government.

 

“That’s a hell of a job, Minghao. And who would you like to get framed? One wrong move and we’re all done for.” Said the Russian.

 

“No. I think, it’d be a good idea. It’s just a big work to do but if we try to be discreet about it, it will go smoothly.” Said Seungcheol.

 

“Then, to whom should we frame everything?”

 

“Let’s kick a jerk’s off, shall we?” said Seungcheol with confidence.

 

“Have you think of any?”

 

“Well, I was thinking about the Lee’s. Since Senator Lee is dead and being investigated, why not him? He’s dead anyways. Although, we couldn’t involve Jihoon here. That little monster is an asset to our team.”

 

“Seungcheol, if Jihoon will know about this, he would…” said EunWoo.

 

“Relax. He hates his father as well as the old hates his son. We’re on this together. Just be careful not to mention Jihoon’s name on it.”

 

“Are you sure?”

 

“Of course. If you want, let him know. Just make sure his name won’t be on the list” Seungcheol chuckled.

 

“Well, that’s a good idea. He’s connected to the Ivanovs.”

 

“Kai?” Minghao laughed. “I want to see his face losing it.”

 

“Though, Ivanovs are not just a regular family. They are extremely dangerous.”

 

“People are in danger anyway. Just risk a few and we’re done.” Said the other.

 

“Be careful with the Ivanovs, they’re sneaky too. Gavril wouldn’t let this pass.”

 

“It’s their business too, isn’t it? It will never be our fault but theirs.” Said Seungcheol.

 

“Smart . I hate you for that brain.” Said Minghao cheekily.

 

“All we need to do is to point the gun to the target and it’s done. Will talk to my connections.”

 

“Will do to.” Agreed the others.
