Chapter 4: Fake wings part 1
Love's Elegy"Keep your eyes on me,
Now we're on the edge of hell.
Dear my love, sweet morning light
Wait for me, you’ve gone much farther
too far"

"Park Hosong, co-founder of Hong's Enterprise has been pronounced dead earlier this morning at 6.45am. Mr Park was admitted into Seoul Gangnam Hospital yesterday night and was put on artificial life support after his organs failed to function.

"Why did you switch it off, Mother?" Hyeri placed the remote down as she watched her only son descending the stairs. She let out a deep sigh, "I don't think I can stomach this situation, son," and leaned her head back against the sofa. Yunho fiddled with the buttons of his cuff as he took a seat beside the elderly, and he stared blankly at his reflection on the TV screen.

"Madam, young master. The car is ready." Yunho turned to face the chaffeur, nods his head and smiled. "Thank you Uncle Won." The elderly bowed slightly, and made his way out of the door. Yunho stood up and glanced at his mother. "Aren't you coming?" Hyeri exhaled. "Yeah, you go ahead first. I'll be out shortly."

And there's no doubt, he would start making advances to her once again.
'Advances with impure intentions. . . huh.'
A tiny smirk graced her lips and her eyelids opened slightly.
This, will be amusing.

Mr Park had been a jolly old man who served the nation through charity and business. So it's not of any surprise to Yunho, to see grief tearin
