Johnny eyed the road sign by the side of the ascending road with a deep frown on his face. He shifted his attention from the placard to the piece of paper he's holding, the paper he used last night to jot down the details the vixen Na Jaeeun sent him. 

 

He looked ahead, towards the top of the road before looking back on the placard once more. He shook his head lightly, the address was obviously right so why is he on the road towards the Na's mansion?

 

Looking back at his parked motorcycle, Johnny heaved a sigh before deciding to get things over with. 

 

Soon, the youngest of the Seos found his self climbing up the ascending road towards the witch's den, every step he takes becoming  heavier and heavier at each passing second because of defying gravity. He stopped when he realised something, his stare blank. 

 

Is there an ambush waiting for him up there?

 

He shook his head vigorously to dispel the unnecessary thoughts he's starting to have then continued walking. 

 

Soon, he was in front a huge metal gates and this being the first time to be here, he couldn't help but be in awe at the mansion few meters away from the gates. 

 

Indeed, the Nas' vast wealth was no joke. It was rumored that only the fox and her father lives in this humongous mansion, whereas her younger brother lives with their mother in the other province. 

 

Still the mansion's too big for two people to live in only. 

 

Dont they have servants or gardeners? or drivers? He hasn't seen people loitering around the garden when he peeked through the gate gaps or he hasn't seen parked cars around. Heck, he didn't even saw moving cars as he ascend the hill. 

 

Just then, another thought made it's way to Johnny's mind. 

 

The guy scanned his surroundings in suspicion. It was too quiet for his liking and nobody ever stopped him from going any further the road which is something because heck, He was a Seo, and Seos and Nas are like the Montague and Capulet of the modern world. 

 

For sure, they have something planned.

 

Looking up, Johnny caught sight of the CCTV camera by the side of the gates and he glared at the device, waiting for the automated voice to ask him about his agenda. 

 

"Push the gates open, dude."

 

He flinched at the flamboyant voice, his eyes blinking. His eyes darted towards the huge gates.

 

"Yep, that's right. That's the one." He looked back up to glare at the camera.

 

"You're a hot headed one, aren't you? Why glare at me right?"

 

"I know what a gate looks like." Johnny deadpanned and that silenced the CCTV that speaks. 

 

"After pushing it open, what then?" the twenty-four year old guy asked when he realized he was arguing with a lifeless device. He tried to hide his embarassment by diverting the topic back to the main course. 

 

"uhm," The device started, seemingly not caring that the guy argued with it. "You see the straight path? You walked there then enter the door. Don't bother waiting for someone to open up, nobody's present."

 

Johnny followed the path with his line of vision, calculating how long will it take him to reach the front door of the huge mansion. He nodded in understanding. 

 

So no one's around?

 

"Proceed to the second floor immediately. Then go to the east wing. Training your vision to your right, count the doors until you reached the fifteenth room." 

 

The guy furrowed his brows, trying his best to remember all the details. 

 

"You open the room then boom!" Johnny arched his brow towards the ridiculous device before rolling his eyes in annoyance. "You'll see Jaeeun-ah." 

 

Jaeeun-ah? 

 

What device calls the owner of the house with such familiarity? 

 

"Got it?"

 

The guy raised his hand in question. "What is it?" 

 

"How will I be sure you guys aren't plotting something dangerous towards me?" 

 

The device sighed and Johnny made a mental note of adding a talking CCTV in his lists of what to buy. 

 

"We're not planning anything. Well, actually she does..." This had the tall guy's brows arching. "But she needs your help so her plan will come to life..." 

 

"So, go help her, okay?"

 

〰〰〰

 

The twenty-four year old guy didn't face any difficulties with finding the meeting place as instructed by the talking CCTV. Soon, Johnny found his self in front of a huge double oak doors, not quite knowing what to do next. 

 

Should he knock? People inside might ready their weapons if he notify them of his presence. 

 

Should he just push the doors open? Someone standing behind the door might be hurt if he opened it abruptly. 

 

"So help her, okay?"

 

I'll help you through this crisis."

 

The guy shut his eyes as he inhaled a huge breath to calm his nerves and for once decide what to do next. He reopened his eyes upon making the final decision. 

 

He motioned to push the doors open however, before he could even plant his palms on it, the oak doors opened by itself, making  creaking sounds as it parted from one another. 

 

In the middle of the room, stood his agenda for today. Tall and Proud. A sinister smirk was playing around her lips, whereas her arms are crossed on top of her chest. She was looking at him with her unwavering stare, the gaze she use to get what she wants every single time.

 

Somehow, with her looking like this, the male remembered how wicked this girl during their college days. And seeing her looking like that again, Johnny realized she hasn't changed. 

 

Not one bit.

 

She has always been great when it comes to threatening people but he never once thought he'll fall victim to her hands one day. 

 

And that day, was now.

 

He stared back at her with the same intense fire. He might be at a disadvantage but he will make sure not to bend and kneel before her. 

 

He'll make sure to put up a fight against this vixen. 

 

He entered the room, scanning the interior. He saw no one around. He shrugged mentally, the CCTV wasn't lying. Again, he made a mental note to get one of those devices. 

 

"So why do we gather here?" He asked when his eyes landed finally on the ceiling, where a huge chandelier hung. 

 

This could be the deadly weapon. 

 

With that thought in mind, the youngest of the Seos stepped back a little, making sure that he wouldn't get hurt if the chandelier fall. 

 

"Fine, Do whatever you want."

 

Upon hearing her usual shrill voice, Johnny's eyes darted towards her, who was rolling her eyes, before landing on the floor. Sensing that somebody was looking at her, she met the guy's gaze, who was frowning at her. 

 

She pointed at her ear, arching one brow.
