Taehyun got himself ready early in the morning.

As his father told him last night, his driver will fetch and drove him to his mansion.

His father wanted to discuss their plan in taking down the Red Scorpion.

At first, they just want to hide as long as they possibly could, but the other gang was actively tracking them down.

Now, it was the time to come face-to-face with their leader.

As been said by his father, it was to clean the air between both of them.

Taehyun was lost in his thoughts and didn’t realize that they have arrived.

“Young Mister Nam Taehyun, we’re here.”

The driver’s voice had brought him back into reality.

As he looked out the window, there was a palace standing tall before his eyes.

“Is this my dad’s house? He lives here?”

Taehyun asked in disbelief.

He’s this rich rich?

Daebak.

The driver nodded as he got the door for Taehyun.

“Nae. And this is one of the reasons why he asked you to live with him.”

“Just because he got a big house?”

The driver was all smiling while leading him into the mansion.

“Not only because of that. I think you should ask Mr. Nam yourself.”

As he stepped into the mansion, his jaw dropped.

All the floors and walls were entirely made up of marble.

“Wow.”

As Taehyun looked up, there was an enormous chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

“Daebak.”

He’s totally loaded, but he didn’t even help me and grandma when we’re struggling to live.

He deeply sighed before sat on the couch in the living room.

“Where’s dad?”

The driver looked puzzled as he placed a cup of tea in front of Taehyun.

“Oh, I thought Mr. Nam had told you himself. He was going to meet the leader of Red Scorpion today.”

Taehyun nearly dropped the fancy teacup onto the floor.

“Today? Why didn’t any of you tell me that?”

He was anxious and couldn’t stay still.

Even though they were on the bad terms before, but now, Taehyun had forgiven all of his father’s wrongdoings.

After all, he was his own father, being not any stranger to him.

What if something bad happened?

What if the Red Scorpion gang had some bad intentions for my dad?

What if they…

“Andwae! No, it can’t be!”

The driver was startled because of his sudden scream.

He was trying to calm Taehyun down when a call came in.

“Right now? Alright, sir. I’m on my way.”

Before Taehyun could even ask, the driver excused himself and went out of the house.

He seemed to be in a hurry and by that, Taehyun knew where he is heading to.

Suddenly, he got an idea.

*

How just stupid are you, Nam Taehyun?

Now you’re trapped in this hot, cramped space.

How are you going to escape?

And how are you going to get out without anyone noticing?

Taehyun now regretted even allowing himself to go on with his own dumb idea.

Slipping into the trunk of the car.

Now I know this was not the best idea of all.

The road was a challenge to him as there were many potholes here and there.

His head will hit the car boot every time the driver ran the car through the potholes.

Taehyun was trying his best not to make any sound at all, even he was in a pain.

Auch! That’s hurt! What is that?

He could feel a hot liquid running down his forehead.

“Blood?”

Oh my God.

What in hell are you getting yourself into, Taehyun?

He could only yell and curse at himself in silence, as he didn’t want the driver to know that he sneaked into the car.

Okay, keep calm and relax.

You can do this.

You have to remember that you’re doing all of these because of your dad.

You’re going to save him by all cost.

He’s the only family member that you had in this whole world.

I know you’re strong!

Taehyun kept praying and motivated himself before he realized the car had come to a halt.

Now, we are here.

From inside the trunk, he could hear the driver’s voice talking to someone on the phone.

He must be talking to my dad.

Suddenly, a faint sound could be heard from afar.

A gunshot?
