Hello my dear readers! How have you been? Hope you're all safe out there. And for those who are currently ill from Covid-19, I hope you have speed recovery. I was actually tested positive two weeks ago (had a Ct value = 17), and had to go through a self-quarantine. Thankfully today I am getting better. Other than that, I'm also feeling anxious and restless lately, mainly because of this coronavirus outbreak. And usually, whenever I feel restless, I will turn to writing as a way to calm me down. That, and I’m also enjoying all TWICE comebacks at this moment. Alcohol-Free is a chill, mature song, and I like the bossa nova vibe. The whole album is also very good (SOS, Scandal, and Conversation are my favourites). But as a title track, my all time favourite is still ICSM. I was very sad with Jeongyeon’s hiatus during its promotion, but thankfully she’s back now.

Okay, so let's see where I have left off. The jewelry theft arc. And the last update was ... *GASP*.... more than 1 year ago! Oh my god, Mina I'm sorry! I've left you in jail for too long! I promise I will make you get out of jail soon!

@ Lucindaes: I see you’re catching up with this story. Keep reading, girl!

@ PLAYWRA: Well, in the cowgirl fic, it’s Nayeon who suffers.

Early in the morning, Sana and Tzuyu found themselves already at Myoui's house. They were inside Chaeyoung's room, where the baby tiger was seen resting on her bed, and the peach girl sat on the side of the bed with Sana tending to her wound. Momo had bruises all over her body, while Chaeyoung had a big bump at the back of her head and her face also looked disoriented.

Last night after the two were beaten by the intruder, Momo and Chaeyoung had to drag themselves to get back home. They didn't wake up Yejin, and Yejin was surprised to see them in the morning in a badly beaten state. Momo then texted Sana and Tzuyu asking them to come by before they go to work.

"Are you sure you don't want to see the doctor?" Sana asked. Sitting on the chair beside the bed, she took Chaeyoung by the head and carefully checked the bump. It was almost as big as avocado size. That punch must be very powerful. No wonder Chaeyoung got knocked out.

"No, it's okay. We've got Jihyo coming this afternoon." Momo said with a tired voice.

Sana then moved to check the peach girl and patch up her wounds. While Tzuyu just stood there thinking of something.

"I'll take a day off and stay here today. Yejin must be very busy and need some help. I'll take Seoyeon to school today." Sana said after she finished.

"Thank you, Sana." The baby tiger nodded. Her face filled with grateful. At a time like this, Sana always becomes their saviour and angel.

Sana then walked out and went to Seoyeon's room to help preparing the little girl to go to school.

"The intruder is a woman this time." Momo said while looking at Tzuyu.

"A woman?" Tzuyu frowned. "What does she look like?"

"Hm. She's as tall as Jeongyeon. White skin. Black hair. There's a scar near her left brow. Her martial art style is different from ours. It looks very acrobatic. She just went wooosh wooosh woooosh, and then I was down."

Tzuyu continued listening.

"She's very strong. Within a minute after I fought her, I already knew I couldn't beat her. And I'm sure Mina can't beat her either. She will be a good match for you, Chewy."

The officer nodded while scribbling something on her notebook. She's already very close to catching the people who first attacked the girls and shot Momo in the farm. And now she was very curious who this masked woman was.

"I will ask my friend to come here today and draw a sketch of that woman." Tzuyu said as she stood up.

"Okay. And oh Chewy, don't tell Mina about this incident yet."

"Why?"

Momo let out a sigh. "Well, Mina's father's condition is rapidly decreasing lately. Mina is already worried sick about him. Let's not give her another bad news for now."

"Alright." Tzuyu nodded.

Nayeon was at her office, she was having a meeting with several business partners in the town. Ever since the police arrested Mina, Nayeon had to rearrange her projects and find another partner to replace Mina's position. Nayeon felt upset about this situation, but as always, she managed to stay calm and level-headed. Her projects must go on, whether they're doing it with Mina or not.

The meeting went for several hours from morning till afternoon. Nayeon had to explain to these people all about the projects, and where she and her previous partner had left off. Most of them were excited to be invited to join the projects. Some couldn't even hide their joy upon hearing that Myoui Mina had been arrested by the police.

"Nayeon-ssi. Thank you for this opportunity. We're very glad you are now inviting us to be involved in your projects. I hope we can continue working together in the future," said Mr. Nam, one of the business partners.

Nayeon stared straight at Mr. Nam while thinking. Well, I hope not.

"Of course, I hope so too, Mr. Nam," she said while forcing a fake smile.

The CEO was about to dismiss the meeting, but another business partner spoke up.

"I heard about the jewelry theft incident, Nayeon-ssi. That's why Myoui was arrested, right? I hope the police can solve this case quickly and bring back the jewelry. It must be a very huge loss for your mother," said a blond-haired woman in a female suit.

"Yes, thank you, Gyuri-ssi." Nayeon said, once again flashing her fake smile.

"I don't want to say this, but Nayeon-ssi, I think you've picked the wrong person to be your business partner. Myoui is not worth your generosity. She just wants to take advantage of your money and your status. I'm glad now she has revealed her true self to you." Gyuri said while throwing Nayeon an empathetic look.

The CEO stood frozen for a second, not knowing how to react. She already knew that these people hated Mina so much and they would be celebrating Mina's demise when it comes. But still, hearing those harsh words coming from them made Nayeon feel sick to her stomach.

She cleared . "Let's not be too quick to judge her. The police are still investigating the case so we don't know who the thief is yet."

Nayeon threw her eyes around, and she found everyone in the room was having the same look like Gyuri and Mr. Nam.

"Nayeon-ssi.* Mr. Nam lifted a paper from the table. It was a report of the latest project that Nayeon had been with Mina. "Look at this project. There's a lot of questionable stuff here. The total expense should be much lower, and the profit should be much higher than this. Whoever did this project clearly doesn't know how to handle it. You're really just burning your money by doing this project with Myoui." Mr. Nam said with a loud voice so that everyone in the room could get the hint of anger in h
