After two flights, Jiyong finally reached Hanoi, Vietnam. He first went to Beijing and made it look like he had some business there then left to Hanoi. Why that when he can go directly there? Because he was afraid that someone may be following him like how they followed Seung Hyun the last time he went to see Min Suk. He was being extra careful and attentive. As soon as he was inside the car, he pulled out his phone and called Jae Hyuk, the main guard in Dara's house. 

 

 

'' Is everything okay? '' He asked as he looked at his watch. 

'' Yes, sir. We're making sure nothing happens '' The man assured. 

'' Great, keep your eyes open and if anything happens, call me '' He ordered and Jae Hyuk quickly agreed. 

 

 

 

A little over half an hour, the car stopped in front of one of the buildings in one of the poor neighborhoods. Jiyong looked down from inside the car.

 

'' We're here, sir. That's the house in the address '' The driver announced.

'' Thanks, wait for me here... It may take a while '' Jiyong said then, got out of the car. 

 

 

He looked at the paper in his hands again and then looked up at the old looking building. It had the same name. He looked around then finally got closer to the door. He put his hand and pushed slightly and luckily it opened since it was old and clammy. Of course, it won't close or open correctly since it was rotten and filled with dirt. Jiyong grimaced as he made his way inside.

 

He looked around to see if there was any guard, but there was none. He looked up and found the stairs and his frown deepened before he let out a sigh. The stairs were just in the same state as the door. Old looking and some parts of them were broken, clear evidence that the building was indeed old. The carpet that was spread all along was filled with mud and it had numerous holes in it. Jiyong sighed for the second time, then, he made his way up. However, he was carefully stepping on the stairs as he was afraid they would break. 

 

 

He looked one more time at the paper in his hand and read the apartment number. 7. That meant he had to go further. Finally, he arrived at the third floor and read the apartments' numbers until he found the one he was looking for. He stopped for a few moments in front of the door then he eventually lifted his right hand up and knocked. No one answered so he repeated again and waited for a few seconds before finally, an old looking woman opened. 

 

 

She looked at him surprised at first, then she frowned. From his facial features, she knew he was Korean so she spoke in Korean. 

 

 

'' Hello? '' It was more of a question. 

Jiyong's eyes couldn't help but look inside the house at first before he looked at the woman. He bowed slightly then finally spoke. '' Does Miss Min Young live here? '' He asked and the woman's expression changed. She straightened up and held the door tighter.

'' There's no one here with that name '' She stated coldly and Jiyong knew she was lying.

He was about to stop her when suddenly noticed a figure inside the house. He looked and saw a woman that looked in her early twenties on a wheelchair. '' Please, I need to talk to her about something... I won't cause any harm, I will just speak to her for a few moments then I'll go... Please,'' He pleaded the woman. Yet, she kept a straight face.

'' I told there's no- '' 

'' It's okay, let him in '' The girl suddenly spoke and they both turned to look at her. 

'' But... '' The old woman started to protest but the disabled girl just smiled. 

 

 

She turned to Jiyong again and gave him one more look from his head to his toes then she moved aside and let him enter. Jiyong let out a relieved breath as he walked in. He couldn't help but look around the house. It only had one room which door was open, the toilet didn't even have a door and instead, there was a curtain to keep the privacy. The kitchen was attached to the living room where they were standing, actually, it couldn't even be called a kitchen because it was way too small that it barely contained the basic things. The colors of the walls were depressingly dark and the ceilings were tainted with dark spots probably due to the rain. The condition the two women were living in was not healthy a lot and Jiyong realized that it wasn't good for a disabled girl that was probably under some treatments. 

 

 

'' Have a seat '' Min Young offered as she pointed to the couch next to her. He looked at the couch and it was a worn-out dark blue one. He was definitely uncomfortable but he had no other choice but to sit. Min Young looked at him carefully for the first time and from his suit, designer shoes, and what seemed like a definitely expensive watch, she knew that he was a Korean Chaebol.

 

'' I'm sorry, the place is not exactly... presentable '' She spoke calmly as she looked down at her lap.

At that moment, Jiyong realized that he might have been a little careless with his expressions. He clenched his hand tightly then he smiled '' It's okay '' He assured and the old woman suddenly cleared then she walked to the kitchen but she kept her eyes on them.

Jiyong looked at her then eventually moved his gaze to Min Young. '' She's my mother's cousin... She's the only family I have left '' She informed and Jiyong nodded. 

'' I know that '' He said and she let out a bitter laugh then she pressed her lips together. '' My name is Kwon Jiyong... I don't know if you have any idea but your brother, Min Suk, he used to work under my company '' He revealed and she looked up at him. Jiyong was quick to notice how her eyes slightly watered at the mention of her brother. He cleared his throat then he resumed '' Well, he was a good employee... I did trust him '' He saw a faint smile on her lips '' However, he did something that hurt me and got me under trouble '' He shared and she closed her eyes then, she looked down and started playing with her fingers. 

 

'' Look, I'm not here to blame you or anything '' He assured as he turned his body slightly in her direction '' What Min Suk did was really bad and it cost me a lot... He betrayed me but I'm sure he had a reason to do that '' He added.

'' Then what do you want from me now? What can I do for you? Min Suk is already gone '' She said weakly and Jiyong bit his lips together then, he talked. 

'' He made a deal with another man and they tricked me into signing some documents that could get me jailed for a very long time... To avoid that, I had to give up the only person I loved... '' He took a deep breath '' But Min Suk wasn't a stupid man... I am sure that he had left something that could help me and prove the game they set up for me... That was the only thing he could do to protect himself from Mr. Lee '' He explained and Min Young only stared at him. She didn't say anything for a while and Jiyong was getting nervous.

 

Eventually, he reached for her hand and held it '' Please, if you know anything that can help or any person that may do... Please tell me... I'll never forget this favor '' He pleaded and the poor

Chapter 76: Hello authornim. I am one of those who have read this story years ago. Honestly, I can't recall specific details about this story but I sure do remember this was one of the greatest DG fanfics I've read in my life (and that's saying a lot coz I can't count anymore how many stories I've read 😅 ) I remember feeling greatly saddened to see this story unfinished as I was looking forward to seeing it through. I would love to see how you'd finish this story if that's what you wanna do, but of course, do it in your own pace and please know that you are in no way obligated to finish this if that's not what your heart wants to do. It's great to hear from you again and even though we don't know each other personally, I am truly glad to "meet" a fellow appler and an amazing writer at that 🥰



P.S. If in any case you'd like to finish this story, please be assured that you already have one reader in here that will join you in your journey. And it'd be interesting to see your growth as a person and as a writer through the words that you'll write. xoxo
