What's Your Secret?

 

 

 

Jungah watched as the Range Rover sped away from the street, her guards had instructions to drive Haerin home as quickly as possible, just so that her coworker wouldn’t ask questions or witness what was about to happen.

She was ushered by the mafia’s three men as soon as they left the club thru its backdoors, the parking lot was empty outside and she spotted Jooheon and Changkyun’s cars.

She looked at the two, both had the same vehicles but in different colors.

“We were just going to ask you some questions, but you had to pull something like that, huh?” Jooheon sighed as he suddenly let go of the man, Hong Daeshik tripped on the wet pavement and turned to face him.

“You shouldn’t be doing this, this isn’t part of your territory, young masters.”

Jungah saw Changkyun quietly chuckle, he glanced behind them and it was then she realized how their men had surrounded him, as if covering the scene so that no one would see.

It was probably like that, she nodded to herself.

“We found your friend the other day, Lee Daecheol. Does it ring a bell?” Jooheon spoke, the man laughed before spitting out blood.

“Not really.”

“Really? We found him with a packet of your goods, no, he had a whole bag of your goods. I’m pretty sure he’s not able to afford that much volume.”

Lee Daecheol laughed at them, and then he started screaming. Jooheon smirked and pulled away, Changkyun had a baseball bat pressed against the man’s fingers.

“Does it ring a bell?” The younger one repeated, Jungah grimaced and looked away as she saw the man’s nails come off while blood flowed from his hand.

“Twin chaos. Twin chaos.” She muttered to herself as she walked towards the car, she was about to lean against “Bumblebee”, Jooheon’s yellow Lamborghini when the male started pointing at her.

“It’s her!” Lee Daecheol spoke, Jungah paused and looked at him.

“Her name, her photos have been going around lately. Someone’s looking for her, and they’re offering good money for her head~”

Changkyun whacked him on the shoulder and the male slumped down on the pavement, writhing in pain.

Jooheon’s brows rose, and then their men broke away as a black Audi arrived. Jungah saw Shownu slide down and he began putting on his leather gloves.

“Oh no.” Jungah whispered to herself while shaking her head.

“I’m not lying! They all want her! Chang Jungah!”

Shownu halted, his gaze went to the girl.

Jungah’s eyes left the bleeding Hong Daeshik and she looked at Shownu.

“Hi?” She blurted out, Shownu pressed his lips together, he walked towards her while removing his jacket.

“I don’t need that, I happen to like this dress.” She said as she reached her.

“Jungah,”

“Must women always adjust because showing skin can distract~”

“It’s not about that, will you still like that dress if blood gets on it?” Shownu replied, Jungah looked at him with wide eyes. He quickly draped it across her shoulders and looked around them, checking if there were other eyes watching.

“Right, thanks.” She said, Shownu exhaled and walked towards his friends.

“Hyung, he knows her.” Changkyun spoke, the older male exhaled again and his eyes went to Hong Daeshik, the male flinched and tried crawling away. But Shownu blocked him with one foot to his bleeding hand.

“Take him.” Shownu glanced behind him, the men started to move and Changkyun started wiping the blood of his bat.

“What do we do? Something’s not right, hyung. He said people have been looking for her. And it’s likely Lee Daecheol paid Hong Daeshik in drugs so that he’d gather info on us and Jungah. Who knows…if he hired other people?”

Changkyun felt an arm around his, he paused, Jungah was standing beside him.

“Hi, so, it’s kinda late, and I want to go home. Am I still needed here?” She cheerfully asked, Jooheon couldn’t help but grin at her.

“Noona, are you okay? He was harassing you.” Changkyun spoke, the girl shook her head.

“He was?” Shownu repeated, Jungah scrunched her nose.

“I’m just tired, and I really miss my bed. So, I’m gonna take a cab, and let you boys be..” She stared at the blood on the pavement.

“Boys.” She finished, she pulled away from Changkyun but he tugged her back.

“Noona, we’ll take you home.”

“But~”

Shownu exhaled and he took out his car keys.

“No cabs. Get in.” He said as he gestured for her to follow him, Jungah frowned and the two younger males chuckled.

“We’ll go ahead and check your place to make sure it’s safe, princess. See you in a bit!” Jooheon said as the Audi roared to life.

 

 

 

“Well?” The stubby man spoke from behind his desk, his subordinate smiled and sat down.

“Our guess was right, she is one of them. A Yoo.”
“A Yoo? Then, Kihyun’s…cousin?”

“Yes, her mother was the previous SK Holdings vice president, but she died while giving birth. From what I know, there’s only two Yoo children, this girl and Kihyun.”

The man chuckled and leaned back on his seat.

“But, they seem very secretive of her. Not much is known about the girl, other than the fact that she is also the daughter of that lawyer.”

“Ah, him? The one they quickly hid away from the country? Do we know where he is?” He questioned as he lit a cigarette, the other male shook his head in reply.

“We’re still trying to locate him, sir.”

“So, let’s deal with the daughter first. Wouldn’t it be easier if there are more eyes on her? If there are more people who knew about her? That would make our jobs less of a hassle.”

“What do you mean?” The younger male finally sat down and fixed the sleeves of his coat.

“If the others also knew who she was, of course they’d keep tabs on her, and who knows they might start attacking. It will keep them busy, it might even weaken their hold on certain territories.” The older male continued with a small smile.

“What shall we do, sir?”

“Let’s have them admit that they are related to her.”

“I don’t think they’d do that voluntarily, sir. There are people who have tried getting close to her, and so far,”

“Two?”

“Lee Daecheol is still nowhere to be found, and Hong Daeshik was seen being…taken away at a club just minutes ago.”

“They’re getting bold, I guess.”

“Sir, they have eyes on the girl too. I don’t think it’d be easy…or safe.”

“Don’t worry, I’m sure those kids will make a mistake soon. All we have to do is wait now.”

“And, the girl?”

“We must take her.”

 

 

 

Jungah clasped her hands together as Shownu drove away from the parking lot, she glanced at the back just as Jooheon and Changkyun sped out.

“Is it that bad?” She spoke, Shownu nodded back without looking at her.

“There’s a possibility that they already know.”

“Know what? Are you going to hang that guy over crocodiles too?” She grimaced, Shownu shook his head, they reached the highway and Jungah paused.

“Or, sharks?”

“Jungah, they probably know who you are, did you hear what Lee Daecheol said?”

“Bits of it.” She mumbled as she stared at the window.

“I don’t understand, what does…all these have to do with me? I didn’t even know..I mean, to be honest, I don’t even know what’s going on. So, why me?” She said as she leaned back on the seat.

“Because you’re one of us. You’re a Yoo. And, our..family has made enemies over the years.”

“I…wasn’t exactly involved, so, why? I’m nice!”

“So, you’re saying, we aren’t?” Shownu replied, the girl balked at him.

“I didn’t say that!”

Shownu glanced at her, amused. He faced the road again, they were just a few minutes away from her place.

“I just want you to keep in mind that there are people looking into you, they might be targeting you as well.”

“You won’t tell my cousin about what happened tonight, right?” She asked as they reached her place, Shownu’s brows rose, the girl was more concerned about Kihyun finding out that she was being harassed at a club. But, not about men trying to hunt her down.

Very Jungah.

“I won’t but, Jooheon and Changkyun both have phones.”

She sighed, the car pulled to a slow halt and Jungah grew confused as she saw Jooheon standing by the gates with his arms crossed as he looked across the street.

Jungah followed his gaze and noticed a familiar male standing by his car, Shownu slid down and opened the door for her.

“Wonwoo,” She spoke, the male looked at her and broke into a smile. And then he noticed the male beside her, his eyes went to the Audi R8 briefly before smiling again.

“Changkyun’s inside to install some….updates on your house. He doesn’t want to be disturbed.” Jooheon announced before showing himself into the property.

“Noona, were you out?” He asked as the girl neared him, she nodded back.

“I was, what brings you here? You didn’t call.” She asked him, but the younger male’s eyes weren’t on her.

“You were alone with someone?” Wonwoo asked, Jungah chuckled.

“Don’t worry, he’s a friend of Kihyun oppa’s.” She said just as Shownu reappeared to hand her purse to her. Wonwoo looked at the bag briefly and he pressed his lips together.

“You left it in the car.” He simply said and then he made his way towards the gates, but not before hearing Wonwoo speak again.

“And does your cousin know that you’re going out with his friend this late?”

Shownu paused, his brows going up.

“He probably doesn’t, it’s not a big deal, actually. I know him.” Jungah said with a chuckle, not getting it.

“Would you like to come in for some tea?” She offered, but Jooheon reappeared by the gates again.

“Princess, we need you inside.” He said, his forehead creasing as he eyed the other male warily.

“Maybe next time, noona. You seem busy, I just came by to warn you about eomma announcing that you’d come at the charity event next week. I know you hate the attention.”

Jungah shook her head, but she was smiling.

“Thank you for the heads up. I’ll still be there.”

“That’s good to hear, go on in, noona.”

“I’ll wait for you to drive~”

“Jungah, it’s getting late.” Shownu simply said before disappearing into the property, the girl grinned, she gave Wonwoo a small wave before jogging to her house.

Wonwoo exhaled and got inside his car.

“Why does he look so familiar? What an arrogant bastard.”

 

 

 

Changkyun was smiling as he walked back into the living room, Jungah eyed the sensors that were currently installed to random places at her living room. They didn’t install any surveillance cameras inside the house, but her garden was a different story.

“Aren’t you guys being a little…paranoid?” She voiced out as she leaned back on the couch, she had already showered and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a shirt. She turned to the windows, Shownu and Jooheon were speaking to her guards.

“Noona, you heard what that guy said.”

“I saw his fingernails come off too. Yikes.” She muttered, Changkyun smiled and sat down next to her.

“How are you not bothered by all this, noona?”

“What? You and Baby Joo being twin chaos? Or the ten million sensors you put in this house?” She answered as she poured him some tea, Changkyun grinned.

“Both.”

“Well, I guess…My father has always mentioned..my mother’s other side of the family business, so, growing up he kind of..taught me things.”

“Taught? What do~”

“Who was that guy outside? Why was here at this hour? What was he trying to do? Do you really know him? Why does he seem so comfortable with you?” Jooheon came marching in, Jungah blinked at back at him.

“First of all, I have three guys inside my house right now despite the late hour.” She said, Changkyun laughed and took a sip from his tea.

“But you knows us!” Jooheon argued back, clearly offended.

“That was Wonwoo, we grew up together. He’s no Lee Daecheol or something.” She replied, Jooheon rolled his eyes and plopped down on the other seat.

“I don’t like him.” He openly stated, Jungah grew amused.

“I’ve known him longer, Joo. He’s okay.”

“But we can keep you safe, he looks like he can’t. Can he fight though?” Jooheon asked.

“Hyung,” Changkyun sighed at the older male, Shownu walked in, he had removed his coat and had it folded on one arm.

“See? Your babysitter is signaling for you to pack up and go home. Right, One Dot?” She jumped up from the couch, the guards from the garden heard her and they couldn’t help but grin.

“Yes, it’s time to go.” Shownu muttered, Jungah smiled at him.

“Hyung is the babysitter? Wow.” Changkyun murmured as Jungah walked them to the gates again.

“We’ll see you at the manor tomorrow.” Shownu stated, Jungah opened but the older male shook his head.

“Just be there. You can argue with us tomorrow. Good night.” He turned his back to her and marched towards his waiting car, Jungah made a face at him.

“Good night, princess. Lock the doors. Lock everything!” Jooheon said with a wave as he got inside his yellow Lamborghini.

“The sensors are automated so they will activate the locks, so, just sleep tight, noona.” Changkyun said to her, Jungah smiled and bumped fists with him.

“But, noona,”

Jungah paused and looked at him.

“That friend, what’s his name? He seems familiar, does he work in the banking field?”

“Kind of, his name is Jeon Wonwoo.” Jungah replied, Changkyun nodded, he gestured for her to go back into the house and he turned towards his car.

He took out his phone and sent in a quick text before driving away from the property.
