ATHERIO PARK [RELEASED]

The Clue's

•••●●●◆◆◇◇◇◆◆●●●•••

A very quiet night.

The man in police uniform was standing in front of such a magnificent mansion. The bright light of the lamp made the place look completely. One would think if it was a palace. With strong and rhythmic steps, the young policeman entered the mansion. There were no guards there to stop him. The man also seemed to have no intention of stopping his steps.

Luxury was increasingly visible when he went inside. The large pillar of the palace's support was gilded with gilded gold. Is that real gold? Ask the person who made it.

Someone was sitting in that big chair. Four young and beautiful women were so attached to her. The young policeman stared intently at the person sitting in the chair. However, the two police eyes trembled when face to face with him.

"What made you change your mind about coming here?" The man's voice could estimate that he was about half a century old. The policeman shifted his eyes.

With a flick of a finger, the four scantily dressed beauties passed by the policeman.

"Have you come here to arrest me?"

"Tomorrow morning at 8am there will be a gangster war. I want you to stop him" said the policeman.

Screaming, that was what the man before him did. The policeman clenched his hand.

"That's gangster business, why are the police interfering?" The man asked in a cold tone.

The policeman looked back at the man in front of him, "It's not about what sets us apart. There's one of your children in that place."

Silent.

A cynical smile fell on his lips, "I recognize all my children even though they have never seen my face."

"Then send all your men to help your son."

•••

Company building named Park J. A. Groups are filled with people. Some of them are media crews who will cover the news about the return of Park Johan Armez's son from America, Atherio Park.

Several cars were stopped in front of the building. Instantly the place was filled with camera blitz. The door of one of the black sports cars opened. A tall man in a neat suit got out of the car. His sturdy face looks so manly with beautiful lip and nose sculptures. Those sunglasses covered his pair of eagle eyes. Before the reporters approached, some bodyguards protected their master with a predetermined distance. As if no one should touch her even a little.

Some of them started asking questions.

"Mr Atherio, is it true that you came back from America to avoid the law?"

"Sir, are you really a gangster?"

"Sir, what do you think of the photos circulating in the media about the sale of the weapon?"

"Master, can we have an explanation?"

Atherio did not answer them, even by looking at it not. He kept looking straight and walked on as if there was no one in front of him. The man gave the code to his bodyguards with a flick of a finger.

They bowed and blocked journalists who were still trying to get answers from Atherio.

Meanwhile, Atherio enters his father's study. He pulled the curtain to see the view of Seoul city that he had left behind for 4 years. The man could not see his house from the building. Too many new buildings were built. In the past, Atherio could see his house from the building, and vice versa. He could also see his father's company building from his home. Now everything's changed. After returning from America, he immediately came to the place.

•••

"Gomawo, you've helped me. Now that there's a lot of trouble in my group, you better go back to safety before they suspect you too" Atherio told the girl in front of him.

"I don't want to leave you!" Said the girl while blocking Atherio's path. The man stopped walking and looked at her.

"I'm so worried about you" said the girl. "Are you not worried about yourself?" Ask Atherio.

"I'm more worried about you" she said. The girl approached and hugged Atherio. There was no rejection from the man. He looked up at Atherio and gently kissed the man's lips with his eyes closed. The man looked at the girl in front of him.

Atherio wrapped his hands around his slender waist then closed. Cold nights are warmer.

Suddenly, Atherio let go of his kiss and he remembered Atherina. The girl looked at Atherio wryly.

"Where's Atherina?" Atherio's question disappointed him. Atherio always thinks of Atherina. The man went looking for his brother. There is no Atherina in the house.

•••

Atherio got up and approached his brother. He rubbed the translucent circles that were ceaselessly flowing. Atherina brushed off her sister's hand. Atherio held her brother's hand and still wiped away the tears.

"Because you came, then you can't leave. Your arrival has driven away my night woman. Instead, you're gonna have to warm me up."

Instantly Atherina let go of her embrace and looked at Atherio, "Atherio, you.."

The man touched Atherina's shoulder with his mischievous smile. "You have a pretty face, a nice body, and. Can I see you any further?"

Atherio lowered the blazer that wrapped Atherina's body. The girl kept her clothes. He crossed both hands as if he was hugging himself. The girl retreated away from Atherio. The man folded his hands in front of his chest.

"Remember, Atherina, my current position is above you. You should have followed my words. Go back and do what I want" Atherio said casually. Atherina shook her head, "You've changed."

"Atherina's.."

The girl squeezed his sleeves as Atherio called out his name, "I beg you to call me brother."

•••

The man in black put a faded brown envelope on the table, "Sorry, Miss. I chose to turn away from this group."

•••

The beautiful woman touched the shoulder of the man in front of her, "Han Gun, accept this mission. If this mission succeeds, you'll be the leader of one of my territories."

Without them noticing, someone eavesdropped on their conversation. When Han Gun came out, the man approached her.

"Cancel this mission, Han Gun."

Han Gun was stunned and looked at the man, "Han Jin Hyung. Because with this, I have the best standing in the dark world."

"I'll replace you. If I succeed, you'll still get that position.

•••

Han Jin carried out the mission well. However, one of the enemies managed to injure his eyes. When he returned from the mission, the man could not see. The lightning mother gave a good position to her sister, Han Gun. However, Han Jin also gained the best position.

•••

"Park J's. A. has returned from Italy with his bodyguards. His business is becoming more successful and global. But, many rumors are circulating if Mr. Park is a gangster member. Here's Mr. Park's response when mentioned about the rumors."

"That's just another businessman competing with me. They're trying to bring me down."

Park turns off the TV and drinks the wine.

•••

Little Atherio was sketching on paper. His friend was watching, "Since we've been friends, you've talked more about your brother than your father.Every day you talk about it and tell me, I think.don't you like your own brother."

Atherio has finished his sketches, he smiles satisfied with the result. "Yes, I like it."

Chris looked up at Atherio's reply. "What did you say!"

•••

Little Atherio tilted his head to the left while watching the little Atherina closely. Atherina remained silent and saw the reaction of her adorable new sister.

Atherio gives his robot to Atherina. Atherina was surprised by what Atherio did. He accepted the robot. Atherio smiled broadly revealing the neat arrangement of his baby teeth. Atherina is worried about Atherio's funny attitude. He smiled as he tilted his head in imitation of Atherio. They both laughed together.
