Jae Min stared at Hyun as if she was seeing him for the first time. "What do you…" she broke off and clapped a hand to her forehead. "What are you talking about Hyun? I have come this far and if you think I will let you ruin my perfectly made plans you are sorely mistaken." Her eyes were dark slits. "Don't you dare cross me in my plans because if you do, I will crush you under my feet and that wouldn't feel nice.

So Min snorted, if only she knew what Hyun Joong will tell her she won't look so smug. A scream signalled that she's learned of her fate.

"If you think I will leave this house you are mistaken because no one, I repeat no one can make me leave from here." Jae Min yelled as she appeared in the sitting room from the study. "Why am I even surprised, your y wife put you up to this because you're a spineless idiot who can't make sane decisions."

"That's enough," Hyun Joong yelled as he followed her out. "You don't get to talk to me that way in my house and i
