Last night when Seonghwa gets inside his apartment unit, he immediately proceeds to his noona's bedroom and opens her handbag. There he finds his noona's belongings like her wallet, makeup pouch, wet tissue, hand sanitizer, comb, handkerchief, and lastly, her cellphone whose undamaged. Seonghwa immediately plugged it into her charger to check if it was still working, luckily it lights up and it signals that it was low in battery charge. The following day, when Seonghwa wakes up early, he immediately gets his noona's cellphone and turns it on, the good thing is that he knows his noona's password so he easily got access to her phone. Seonghwa went to the inbox as a few messages were popping on the screen. Seonghwa opens and reads 4 unread messages, two from KBC, 2 from an unknown number

After reading the texts, Seonghwa immediately calls Detective Lee and tell him what he finds out

"Hello, good morning Seonghwa-ssi... did you find something on your noona's bag?". Detective Lee immediately ask the latter one

"I read four messages on her inbox, two from HRD secretary of KBC, 1 from Mr. Therence Do of the Casa Royale hotel and the other one is from Ms. Sara Bae of La Monte hotel". Seonghwa said in a firm tone

"Thank you for the information, Seonghwa-ssi. I'll inform you once we're done gathering some information about your noona's case". Detective Lee said before they hung up the call.

 

Seonghwa was still in confusion about his noona's case, he keeps on asking the same questions why his noona? what does she do? and who could've done that to her? why do they want to kill his noona?. Seonghwa couldn't do anything but release a heavy sigh once again, he knew that the only person who could've answered these questions was his noona.

 

HORIZON INC. MAIN BUILDING; LOBBY:

 

Hongjoong was heading out for launch with his cousins when he steps out of the elevator he unexpectedly saw his brother, who was waiting in the lobby and talking with Eden and Maddox

"Hongjoong". Hyunjoong greeted him with a smile as he walks closer to them

"What are you doing here hyung?". Hongjoong asks indifferently. Eden and Maddox were silently listening on the side as they let the brothers talk by themselves

"Well, mom invited me for lunch all of a sudden... I guess she's being lonely". Hyunjoong casually said

"You can join us too". Hyunjoong excitedly adds up

"Sorry, but I have to decline your offer hyung. You already know what she's going to do... to me, you've already witnessed that last time. I'm going with Eden and Maddox hyung anyways... which I preferred more". Hongjoong said in a firm tone

"I see. Look, it's nice that we're having this conversation right now and... I have a lot of things I want to say to you, Hongjoong-ah". Hyunjoong said in a serious tone

"Whatever it is... this is not the right place to talk things". Hongjoong said with a quite sarcasm in his tone, then out of nowhere their mother came to view as she walks closer to them at the lobby

"Hyunjoong~... Hongjoong". Mrs. Kim said with a small smile and send a keen look between Eden and Maddox 

"Mom". Hyunjoong said as he politely greets his mother. On the other hand, Hongjoong just stood there and was about to leave

"Hongjoong, I've heard that you're going to launch a new apparel from the Mist... and you've chosen Chae Anji as the model". Mrs. Kim said 

"You've heard it all right, so what if I choose Chae Anji... is there a problem with that?". Hongjoong said in a firm tone

"No, but he is the son of the chairman of Utopia". Mrs. Kim said in a quite anxious tone

"I already know that and before I'll launch the new apparels I'll make sure to have a short meeting with him". Hongjoong said in a firm tone

"Anyways, how is Anna Sue's fashion show?". Mrs. Kim asks with a sly smile. Hongjoong slightly frowns upon hearing his mothers question, he knew exactly what she's up to and he's not having any of it

"To be honest, the show is boring but Anna Sue's fall collection is outstanding as always. Maybe next time you should see it for yourself~". Hongjoong said in a quite mocking tone. Hyunjoong, Eden, and Maddox were all surprised upon hearing the younger one retaliates to Mrs. Kim's words

"Ah... I see... what about your sudden reunion?". Mrs. Kim said with a tight lip smile. Hongjoong was trying so hard to hold back his annoyance towards his mother because she sets him up, she already knew that Jeremy is going to be there and make an excuse to make him see his ex-boyfriend. Hongjoong shook his head when the realization hits him, of course, her mother will have the way to know some things. Hongjoong is now starting to see the game that his mother is playing to

"Just like the show... it's boring~". Hongjoong said in a sarcastic tone with a sly smile. He saw how his mother's jaw tightly clenches in disappointment, now Hongjoong was learning to fight back

"Come on now, Hyunjoong I'm hungry". Mrs. Kim said as nothing has happened. Hyunjoong looks apologetically towards his brother as he escorts their mother outside the lobby.

 

When Hyunjoong and Mrs. Kim were gone, Eden and Maddox went beside their younger cousin 

"Hey". Eden called his attention

"Are you alright?". Maddox anxiously ask him

"Yeah, I'm good". Hongjoong said wi
