ATHERIO PARK [RELEASED]

A Different Coin

Seoul, Corea.

　

　

A lot of work is happening at the Park residence. After the police came to the house, Ji Hoo's team became more cautious when acting. In fact they had to cancel all transactions for a while in order to restore the situation. After clearing up all the panic in the house, several important Park members left the Korean mainland for the United States with their leader. Of course, that's a big question for the public. Some people think that Park J. A. was a gangster, so Atherio kept his father's dark side and now he's gone to avoid the police. There was no response from Atherio. They chose to leave without answering any questions. No one can prove whether the police team is right, or the Atherio side is right. There is no definitive proof. There are too many suspicions and conspiracies.

　

　

How are Lee Hwan and Christian?

　

　

They do nothing when the person they want to catch leaves. But, they did not shut up and gave up just like that. They both collect information. Just two? Nah! They ask for help from others, but not forever. No one dared to pry Park's group too far.

　

　

In the apartment, in,

　

　

Lee Hwan discovers a photo of Atherio and Atherina as children. The man looked at Atherina's face closely. "He's Atherio's brother?" Only Lee Hwan showed the photo to Chris. The man turned his head then nodded, "Nobody picked him up."

　

　

"What is Park J. A. adopt this girl if she has a son?" Lee Hwan muttered to himself. "I don't know" Chris replied, giving another photo to Lee Hwan. A photo of Atherina in a high school uniform. Lee Hwan looked at it carefully.

　

　

"I've seen him shoot someone who has dared to go into his room and do bad things" Chris said. Lee Hwan looked at Chris, "In front of you?"

　

　

Chris nodded, "His men almost shot me if I said what I saw to others."

　

　

Lee Hwan's gaze returned to the girl's photo. Chris took the photo from Lee Hwan's hand. The man pulled back a photo of Atherina.

　

　

"Why do you see it like that? Don't-don't you like it" Chris said with a suspicious tone. Lee Hwan immediately denied, "No, but she is indeed beautiful."

　

　

Chris rolled his eyeballs, "One more time, Atherio loves him."

　

　

Lee Hwan was surprised, "Then, we can use this girl to catch Atherio."

　

　

Chris snorted softly, "So don't you think, Erina's sister is an easy girl to catch? He's very mysterious. I'm sure he carries a gun wherever he goes."

　

　

"It seems like he's not a person who easily believes in others."

　

　

"What's Brother's plan?"

　

　

"What do you think? The only way to get Atherio is Atherina."

　

　

"You know where he is?"

　

　

"Somebody said he went to Japan, isn't that suspicious? Her brother went to Japan, while her sister went to America." Lee Hwan put on a thoughtful expression.

　

　

"Japanese?"

　

　

"We need a lot of preparation going forward."

　

　

Chris nodded in understanding.

　

　

◆◇◆

　

　

Han Gun was basking under the hot sun. He was lying on a balloon shaped like a goose floating on a pond. The man was wearing only boxers and sunglasses. Her beautifully sculpted body was exposed just like that. It was like being on the beach.

　

　

"There is no more beautiful day than rest and idle."

　

　

Atherina who wore sunglasses entered the backyard of the Han brothers' house. He looked at Han Gun who was enjoying the relaxed atmosphere on that hot day. The girl threw away her face because she was tired of finding Han Gun who was never ready when there was a new mission.

　

　

Han Gun, who was aware of Atherina's whereabouts, said, "Just stand there? Come join me. The eyes are good."

　

　

Atherina's gaze turned to Han Gun, "You forgot there's a mission today?"

　

　

"Mission? Ah, I remember. What if we leave tomorrow?"

　

　

Atherina took the gun from her black jacket and filled it with bullets. Gun Seok got up and shook his hand, "No.. no. You can't shoot your friend, right?"

　

　

Atherina pulled her gun and..

　

　

DOR'S!

　

　

DOR'S!

　

　

DOR'S!

　

　

The goose balloon had already erupted and drowned. Atherina blew the muzzle of her gun. Suddenly Han Gun emerged from the surface of the water with glasses no longer in their original position. The man climbed to the edge of the pool while grumbling, "It's so rough this girl."

　

　

Atherina lowered her glasses and watched Han Gun pass by while confirming her boxer.

　

　

Lightning group headquarters,

　

　

Atherina and Han Gun bend in front of Aleena.

　

　

Aleena tucked her hair into her ear, "It's quite a strenuous mission, you have to get Takashima's left hand to get her fingerprints. He used to be my member, but he betrayed me by carrying something valuable that he locked with his fingerprints. Now that precious thing is on me. I desperately need that traitor's hand piece."

　

　

Atherina and Han Gun looked at each other. Han Gun spoke up, "I've previously had this mission, and Lightning Mother also knows I failed to cut off someone's hand."

　

　

Aleena turned towards Atherina, "What about you? I hope you don't mind and rampage like yesterday's mission."

　

　

Atherina puffed up looking at Aleena's face, "I'm ready to get Takashima's fingerprints." Han Gun jumped up and reflexively looked at Atherina. He did not believe Atherina would support him.

　

　

Atherina got up then bowed, "I'll go. Han Gun, come on." Han Gun got up and bowed to Aleena and left with Atherina.

　

　

After the two subordinates left, Aleena muttered softly, "We see, what will the girl do?"

　

　

On the way, Han Gun kept chattering. He blames Atherina, "and I know you like to change, sometimes too well and sometimes you're too cruel. But, cutting people's hands? That's gross! Why don't you choose to do a 10-year mission that's a little lighter than a 6-year one, but it's troublesome?"

　

　

Atherina put a bullet in her gun. For a moment Han Gun glanced at the girl with a worried expression, then refocused on driving. Atherina glared at Han Gun, "I'd rather you shut up and focus on driving, you're so handsome Park Jimin."

　

　

Han Gun swallowed the saliva, long ago I could go crazy for getting the same mission as this girl.

　

　

◆◇◆

　

　

The state of the house is already a mess because there are people who attack the house suddenly.

　

　

　

　

Atherina with a face mask pointed a gun at the head of one of the male servants, "Tell me where Takashima is?" Frightened, the man pointed to one of the rooms. While Han Gun was still busy with the guards that started popping up. Atherina kicked the door down. The girl remained vigilant by pointing the muzzle of the gun in all directions.

　

　

He saw someone in the corner of the room. The girl approached with the muzzle of the gun pointed at the man, "Where's Takashima?"

　

　

The old man raised both his hands, "I am Takashima, please don't kill me. I'll do the lightning mother's orders." Looking at that wrinkled face, Atherina felt pity. He looked at the two wrinkled hands of the man who were trembling in fear. The hand he was going to cut off.

　

　

Han Gun who was also wearing a face cover was done with the housekeeper. He turned to Atherina who pulled out a knife from her bag.

　

　

On the way home,

　

　

Han Gun who was driving occasionally turned to Atherina who seemed unable to calm down. The girl's expression seemed to be holding back angrily. Han Gun shut his mouth tightly refraining from asking.

　

　

"Aleena's really.." Atherina will curse, but not so. Her tears first escaped flowing from the corner of her eye. Han Gun can't say anything.

　

　

　

　

".. Park J's. A. never gave me a mission to kill people. He gave me a tough mission, but not to kill people."

　

　

Han Gun ruffled her hair in frustration, "Here you go, Erina! If you get a mission to kill people, it's not your fault. Blame the man who told you to!"

　

　

"But he told me to kill with my hands!" Shouting Atherina. Han Gun pulled the car over, "Then what do you want? You want reassurance from Aleena, right? Remember, this is mission to Atherio."

　

　

Atherina's gaze scolded, "Atherio, my sister."

　

　

"Yes, now do this mission without having to think about anything else. Remember, that Aleena has no firmness of heart. Maybe even his heart was empty. You should know, does she still deserve to be called a mother to Atherio?" Han Gun's words left Atherina completely silent.

　

　

"Even that woman does not deserve to be called a mother by her members."

　

　

Arriving at the base,

　

　

Aleena saw the arrival of Atherina and Han Gun. He smiled and was sure that the two members had completed the mission well. Han Gun was bent, while Atherina placed the thick plastic onto the table roughly. Impressed like a table-breaking.

　

　

"Sorry, good night." After saying that, Atherina bowed and immediately left the room. Han Gun still lowered his head expressionlessly with Atherina's attitude. Aleena looked at that pretty thick transparent plastic. He picked it up and saw that there were a lot of red fingerprints on it.

　

　

***

　

　

The old man raised both his hands, "I am Takashima, please don't kill me. I'll do the lightning mother's orders." Looking at that wrinkled face, Atherina felt pity. He looked at the two wrinkled hands of the man who were trembling in fear. The hand he was going to cut off.

　

　

Han Gun who was done with the housekeeper turned to Atherina who pulled out a knife from her bag.

　

　

Atherina cut through the thick plastic window that adorned the room with a knife in her hand. The girl threw the object in front of Takashima. With the muzzle of the gun still pointed at Takashima's head, Atherina said, "Put your fingerprints on the plastic, then our business is done. You're not gonna die."

　

　

Frightened the old man turned to him, "But.." Atherina threw the lipstick in front of Takashima, "Wear it, hurry."

　

　

With trembling hands, the old man did what Atherina wanted."

　

　

Han Gun was silent to watch that.

　

　

***

　

　

Aleena looked at Han Gun. Casually, he asked, "Good initiative, what do you think?" Han Gun did not answer.

　

　

Aleena scanned the fingerprints and opened the box she meant. Han Gun noticed. When the box opened, it turned out to be a new wine glass. Han Gun frowned in surprise.

　

　

"Takashima stole it from me. You know, right, I hate people who hurt me by taking my fancy. Takashima used to ask me to drink wine with our members while he was still my confidant. He said we should celebrate the victory together. Who does he think he is? I don't like anyone else drinking wine in front of me without my permission. But, that old man stole my beloved wine glass instead!"

　

　

Hearing Aleena's words, Han Gun felt guilty for blaming Atherina's feelings. Aleena was completely outrageous by exaggerating the problem. The woman even had the two of them cut off people's hands just for stealing a glass. Han Gun held back his emotions. He got up and bowed, "Sorry, good night." The man disappeared behind the door.

　

　

Aleena raised her shoulders in astonishment at the behavior of the two teenagers.

　

　

◆◇◆

　

　

Atherina was sitting alone in the school park. He thought about the mission he would be doing for the next 6 years. From now on, everything will be more difficult. The mission he was about to receive was not as simple as it used to be. The girl held her palm. There would be a lot of blood if he didn't think like a human.

　

　

She remembers, when Park taught her about feelings.

　

　

***

　

　

"Kill your feelings, then you can kill someone." Park smiled after saying that. Little Atherina looked at her father, "Kill? Why should I kill? My job is to just take care of Rio."

　

　

Park rubbed his daughter's hair gently, "There are a lot of people out there who want to kill your sister. Which one did you choose? Kill them, or let them kill Atherio?"

　

　

The two little eyes were rounded, "I will not kill anyone, I will protect Atherio by hitting them. Uncle Victor taught me how to hit bad guys."

　

　

Park chuckled, "There are no good people in this world. Everyone in this world is evil. They are ready to kill at any time. If you just hit them, it'll only make them temporarily paralyzed and they'll come back to kill. If you kill them, you stop them."

　

　

Atherina fell silent, "Dad, there are no bad people in this world."

　

　

Park frowned hearing her little daughter protesting, "No bad guy?"

　

　

"Nothing."

　

　

"Then the three boys who bullied you at the orphanage?" Park asked his daughter.

　

　

"They did that because Ji Eun's aunt didn't notice them. Aunt Ji Eun doesn't like boys."

　

　

"That's why? Then, I. I'm a bad man who's killed a lot of people in my hands." Park shows her clenched hands. Little Atherina held Park's hand. Makes the man's fist weaken.

　

　

"Dad is not evil, Dad has brought me to this house and takes good care of me. Although I'm not Dad's son, I love me like I love Atherio."

　

　

"What if I'm really bad?"

　

　

"Dad's not evil, Dad just likes to lie."

　

　

Instantly Park's laughter exploded upon hearing Atherina's ridiculous remark.

　

　

***

　

　

Atherina let out a long sigh recalling those memories. Atherina knows how bad Park J is. A. dimata. The girl couldn't compare Park to the other villains. Park is a hard person to guess. The man's mood changed frequently, as did Atherina. However, Atherina only realized that there are criminals who are many times more cruel than Park. Who else if not Aleena. The woman is also not easy to guess. But, his mood remained the same that of liking at will.

　

　

Han Gun is being surrounded by girls. He looked towards Atherina who was sitting alone. "Excuse me, I have to see my brother," Han Gun said as he passed.

　

　

"Ah, Park Jimin."

　

　

"Jimin!"

　

　

"Hey, Jimin!"

　

　

Han Gun sat beside Atherina, "Erina, what are you thinking?"

　

　

Atherina shook her head quickly. Han Gun seemed to think, "I'm sorry last night yelled at you in the car."

　

　

There's no answer. Atherina remained in position.

　

　

"Tonight there's a new mission."

　

　

As Atherina stared at Han Gun's face, "What is her mission? Don't tell me we have to kill people."

　

　

◆◇◆

　

　

"Never tell me how you were before, but show me how you are now."
