Soyeon and boram enter the cafe. They look around and find jiyeon sitting at the corner of the cafe talking on phone. They approach her before sit in front of her. Jiyeon look up. “oh, i call you back later.” She hang up. “annyeong.” “annnyeong unnie. you are here. Where is the other?” she ask. “they are on their way. Where is your sister?”  “office of course. She spend more or less 20 hours at the office nowadays. Even maybe 2 days there without coming back home.” Jiyeon say with her head down. “wae? What make she so busy?” boram voice out. “this what i want to discuss now. But first lets wait for the other to come.”

Few minutes later, hyomin enter the cafe followed by q-ri and areum. “sorry i’m late. Just now finish meeting with the board director.” Hyomin say as soon as she sit. “sorry unnie. there is something happen at the hospital.” Areum word make them turn to look at her. “what happen?” “a patient is in critical state need a heart transplant as soon as possible. Yet we don’t have any that suit her right now. So her husband make chaos at the hospital asking us to do something.” They nod. “so want to drink anything?” jiyeon ask calling the waiter. “americano 2, latte 2 and coffee for me.” Soyeon order behalf them.

“so jiyeon, whats the matter?” q-ri ask looking at her. “its been a week since we didn’t meet right since all of us busy. But the most worrisome is eunjung unnie. she seem so busy until she spend more or less 20 hours at the office like i told soyeon unnie and boram unnie just now. Sometime she even stay overnight there.” Hyomin raise her eyebrow. “oh, she never been like that. What happen? Did you 2 fight?” “yah unnie, when she didn’t come back home all in your mind is we fight. Pabo aniya?” jiyeon say looking at her. “what else if not? Did she have problem with the company? She didn’t tell us anything about it.” jiyeon sigh. “i also don’t know about it earlier but i meet her secretary just now. Her company is blowing with big problem now.” Areum sit straight.

“what happen?” “corruption and sebotage. PRINCESS HAM corp. Already loss too much since the money lost and the hiatus of the current project.” “what the hell. Why she didn’t tell us about this?” soyeon say. “unnie say she didn’t want us to be worried since all of us also busy. I once call her asking for lunch together but she say she already have lunch appointment and say that we can meet for dinner. But she didn’t show up. when i call home, omma say she still not home. I call her but her phone is switch off. That is why i start to be suspicious on what actually happen and find out about it just now.” “jjamkkan ji. Lunch appointment? When?” “its 2 days ago if i not mistaken. Wae?” hyomin take out her tab and check on something.

“it is the day when she make appointment to meet me but cancel it last minute. When i try to call her, her phone is already switch off. I call her secretary she say unnie don’t want to be disturb since she is busy.” She say looking at them one by one. “so what is the real situation actually?” q-ri ask her. “i don’t know much but unnie say 4 workers from PRINCESS HAM corp. Involve in corruption and they are being sebotage on the stuff the use in their current project. They already lost somehow large amount of money.” “i don’t understand.” Areum voice out. “the budget for the current project is being use only half for the stuff for the project. The other half is go to the workers that involve in this account. They buy the cheap thing for all those stuff, you know the affect of using that kind of thing right? So the project is in hiatus now, so it will be done late from the actual date. So they are in lost again there.”

Soyeon lean back, crossing her arm. “why did she hide it in the first place when it is already this worse? This ham eunjung.” She sigh. “i’m so worried unnie. she can handle it alone since it is already too much too handle. You know her body is much more weaker now due to whatever happen before.” Q-ri look at them. “she is weaker than what we think actually. So, lets do this. Jiyeon, did secretary park give you any info?” “she will handed it to me later.” “ok, once she give you the info, hyominnie you check on the background and any info that we can use for the evidence. Don’t left any single thing of it. soyeon, jiyeon,boramie, try to take a close look on eunjung. Who knows she might be sick or pass out or anything similar since she is working over hard now.” Q-ri look at them asking for confirmation.

Soyeon and jiyeon nod. “areumie you will be with me, to trap this stupid bastard with the use of info from hyomin. Got it?” q-ri again look at them for confirmation. “ne unnie. i hope it will be settle soon. I don’t want to see her collpase or anything. And those bastars, i’ll kill them when i get them later.” Jiyeon say clenching her fist. “so, keep in touch with each other ok.” They nod on q-ri word. “don’t let unnie know about this ok. Lets pretend like we don’t know anything.”
