Kim Hye Jin - pov
Even though the cold morning air enveloped the city of Chicago
But it does not seem to reduce the dense community activities in this city to make a living and still have to go to the office
This winter comes early and some offices and schools have to condense some of their activities before the winter holidays start
Similarly, the important meeting this time in real estate rose, the shareholders want a major change of director before the year changes and want a new innovation to re-establish luxury housing in other areas of America
Arriving at the rose real estate office, I was amazed by their welcome to the guests who will be present at this time
And this is the first time I've stepped foot in a deok mi family-owned company
Arguably more colorful compared to seo jin office
Mian* (sorry) seo jin, it seems your employees are too busy gossiping so less make your company look alive in the main lobby
Whether this is excessive or not, all the way from the entrance of the company to the entrance of the elevator stretches a fairly wide red carpet
It's like I'm attending a Hollywood awards show
I heard madam deok mi likes red roses, and sure enough, in every corner of the office is displayed vases of red roses live
Deok mi is really like a queen, some of her wishes when she visits her own company must be granted if there is no need for a commotion
Several servants stood neatly beside the red carpet to greet me and seo jin
In the car, seo jin told me to ask the secretary sin about the news in the rose real estate company as long as I was not in the office
It has become commonplace if the secretary sin gives a report to deok mi, considering that deok mi rarely visits his company and spends more time having fun outside
Seo Jin was waiting for me in the meeting room, while I headed to my work room to meet with the secretary sin
Secretary Sin has been waiting for me in front of my office and welcomes me well
Without buying time, I immediately asked the secretary sin about the news in this office as long as I was not there
"Good morning madam" said secretary sin
"Tell me about the news that happened in this company as long as I'm not here" I said as I walked to my desk
The secretary of sin opened the door of my workroom while speaking
"Since launching dibuffalo, rose real estate has made significant profits, and some entrepreneurs want to join and cooperate with rose real estate"
"And for the rival mistress, namely mr. sung hajung." he said disconnected
I looked towards the secretary sin
"Why hajung?" Ask me and sit down at my desk
"I just heard from you this morning, madam, from your secretary hajung that she disappeared from last night"
"Miss's phone Hajung was inactive this morning, and it looks like Miss Min is busy looking for him and even went to the apartment where Mr. Hajung lives" said secretary Sin to me
Freaky...
Where to go on an important day like this
"Alright, you can go secretary sin" I said.
"Well madam, if you need anything please call me" said secretary Sin and left me alone in the workspace deok mi
I looked around the deok mi workspace and hoped to find something as surprising as her room
Yet..
I actually found a collection of deok mi photos with other men complete with a date when he was taking pictures
He has been married since the first year of his marriage to Seo Jin
Haaah....
There seems to be nothing strange anymore, there is no way madam deok mi hid something in her own study, especially she rarely visited here
If he is hiding something, one easily finds it because he is rarely in his own office
I leaned my body on the work chair belonging to mistress deok mi who felt comfortable and closed my eyes for a while because last night seo jin did not let me sleep early and was busy practicing to bring the percentage
Suddenly my phone rang to my surprise and almost fell out of this comfortable deok mi work chair
I looked at the glass screen of the phone and saw the writing hubby ❤ was calling
Ahhhh.
Seo Jin always bothered me plus I forgot to change her name on my phone
I immediately picked it up and seo jin said quietly like someone who was whispering
"Yes...odiga?* (hey...where?) Are you done talking to the secretary? Hurry here, there are many guests who have come" said seo jin whispering
"All right, I'll be right there" I said and immediately got up from my comfortable seat.
Arriving at the meeting room, several guests were already present and waiting for the start of the important meeting today, including the two deok mi parents
Almost 30 minutes passed and all the benches were filled by the shareholders today
However, only one person is invisible today, and that person is sung hajung
Guests of shareholders have begun to rile and look bored to see a demo video of the advantages of real estate companies, as if hinting to immediately start a meeting today
Seen from across the meeting table, Hajung's parents looked agitated because hajung never showed his nose trunk docked today
while deok mi's father looks smiling suspiciously, as if he knows the reason hajung is not present today
Seo Jin who was sitting next to me, grasping my hand tried to remind myself to be able to adjust my facial expression when glancing towards mister dong il
Before long a woman came to the meeting room and whispered something to the meeting moderator today
It looks like miss min, the hajung secretary who is giving news about the existence of hajung
I hope nothing happens with Hajung
"Ladies and gentelmen, We apologize for delay in today's meeting"
"We are still waiting mr. Hajung to join with us" said moderator
"When do you wait for him? 30 Minutes have passed, you want to compensate how much for this wasted time?" Mrs. Tan is one of the company's shareholders who is not getting impatient
"Rubber! I still have another event after today's meeting, why should we wait for someone who can't be there on time" said the middle-aged man across the meeting table while glancing cynically at hajung's parents
"That's right, we still have mistress deok mi to hear the vision of the mission to make real estate rose a powerful company"
"Liet down, guests, to be fairer we have to listen to the percentage of each candidate of the main director of real estate" said deok mi's father while smiling softly towards hajung's parents
"How can he lead the company if in attending meetings on time alone can not!" Mrs. Tan again
"Mr Hajung must have a reason why he was late, we should wait" said Mr.philip who seemed to support hajung
The atmosphere became not conducive and there was a debate between invited guests
Me and seo jin looked at each other face to face trying to communicate past expressions and not comment anything on this matter
I saw mister dong il who was smiling strangely seeing the meeting guests arguing with each other
It was as if he was happy to have a showdown like this
And in the end the meeting began without the presence of hajung to dampen the emotions of the meeting guests present here
Predictably, I was able to do a good percentage and make seo jin feel proud to have taught myself a good percentage
The shareholders who attended this meeting looked satisfied with the appearance of my present and did not hesitate to choose me as the main director of real estate rose
It seems that some shareholders who originally supported Hajung switched to support me because hajung is not meeting today
And the decision on director rose's election results will be announced next month
This is all too well, and the absence of hajung ditapat today is the father deok mi?
After the meeting, deok mi's father praised my performance and praised seo jin because he was able to teach me well
"Hahaha.I didn't expect, you are a girl full of lady hye jin's charisma" he whispered.
I smiled at mister dong il then turned to look at seo jin
"Go to chat with mom, I'll talk to dad one-on-one" said seo jin, who was whispering to me
I nodded and invited deok mi's mother to chat in my study
It did not feel like about 20 minutes I chatted with deok mi's mother, seo jin knocked on my workroom door
"Mother.dad is waiting for you in the car" seo jin told deok mi's mother.
"Ahh..really?! I think it will be longer here because he has to chat at length with the shareholders to make an absolute decision, deok mi became the director of real estate" said mrs song ji hye
"You're the best, my dear daughter, I'm sure because sung hajung won't be chosen by them"
"Hohoho, who knew that Hajung was very afraid of deok mi and chose to surrender before the war" said deok mi's mother.
"I'm sure that at this time Hajung must be alone in his private villa, just look, he is not in his apartment" said deok mi's mother
"Mother.it looks like father will talk to the shareholders of the restaurant that has been prepared" said seo jin.
"Really?!.kalo so you should also prepare" said deok mi's mother
"Ahh...nne* (yes) I will follow after driving my wife back home" said seo jin suddenly and made me tilt my head and look at seo jin
"Wae's?* (why?)" Ask deok mi's mother
Same question as me Why did the king of the lorises suddenly tell me to come home?
"Actually, deok mi is still not healthy, albert's doctor suggested to get enough rest because of his low blood pressure and easy to feel tired after losing our future baby" seo Jin said, starting another lie
"Really?!.omo my dear daughter, you should tell me if you're not feeling well"
"A..ania eomma* (ti..no mom) I'm fine" I said to stop the lie of seo jin again that I have not agreed with him
"Come home and rest.You always say fine when in fact you're not, you work too hard deok mi" said deok mi's mother and began to push me towards seo jin
'Wae?.* (why)?' I said without making a sound just by moving both of my lips while staring at seo jin
Seo Jin grabbed my arm and looked solemn
"Mother.sorry, I can't drive you to the car" said seo jin and bowed his head towards deok mi's mother
"Gencahana* (nothing) I will not stray here, I will immediately go to the car, take care of your wife" said deok mi's mother
Seo Jin and I left the office and are now in the car
"Seo jin-ssi what's wrong? Why are you lying to me again?" Much
"Calm down hye jin.we will talk about this at home" said seo jin.
"Are you going to meet the investors at the restaurant together with deok mi's parents, seo jin?" Much
"Yes" he said briefly
"Why did you tell me to go home and why don't we just go there together" I said
"Too many investors know deok mi, I don't want you to make mistakes and they see your attitude looks different like it's not deok mi as usual" said seo jin
"Then...did you know where Hajung is?" Much
"Is what deok mi's mother said true? He went to his private villa because he was too depressed to make a percentage?" I asked who was curious
"I know it's weird, there's something weird, at least hajung told his mother, doesn't he love his mother very much?" Seo jin said
"I will find out the truth at the festaurant banquet later" said seo jin
"Whatdidyou say? Later?.yya* (hey) seo jin-ssi.hajung is unknown whereabouts from yesterday night and he did not appear during the important meeting last night"
"And moreover, I saw the strange smile that master dong il did, do I not think that this is the act of your father-in-law"
"I know, but we don't have hard evidence to accuse him directly" said seo jin.
"Why don't you ask deok mi hhuh's father directly?" My speech
"Are you too scared of dong il?" My insinuating words
Seo Jin was silent not answering my question
Arriving home, I followed seo jin into the room and he locked the door of his room and asked me to speak in the bathroom
"Hye jin-aa calm down.I understand your curiosity is very high"
"I also have the same premonition as you, the absence of hajung ditapat today has something to do with deok mi's father" he said
"But if I get you involved in this matter, you'll be in danger, so stay in the room until I get some good news" said seo jin.
"Ania*..(no) I'm going with you, doesn't it feel weird if a potential real estate director isn't there"
"I'm sure they will celebrate my success because of my performance during the percentage and dong il will gather investors who will support him plus the people who turned away from hajung because of today's meeting" he said
"Could dong il cooperate with other investors to drop hajung?" Much
"If so, maybe I can lure one of them to talk and tell the truth" I said
"No! You stay here" said seo jin looking at me seriously
"Seo jin-ssi"
"Why don't you listen to me.or.don't tell me you..."
"Don't tell me you're among the people who are going to take down Hajung and cooperate with them" I said
"Cut..neo michyeosseo?* (are you crazy?) Can't you tell which people are good and which people are bad?"
I stared at seo jin
"Nne* (yes) I can't tell the difference anymore, and I don't know if you support deok mi's father or if you have a sincere heart" I said slowly
"Hye jin-aa.." call seo jin and hold my hands together.
"Even though I don't like hajung, but at least I don't allow him to slump and fall with his career"
"Indeed, hajung's ability is no doubt in leading rose real estate"
"But still competition for positions and positions prevails among the conglomerate family"
"Whatever happens, trust me"
"I'm doing all this just to protect you"
"If you don't trust me and act alone, how can I protect you if you're too far out of my reach?"
"This time alone.. Stay here, I will immediately inform you" said seo jin while touching my shoulder.
"Well, I'll wait for you for 30 minutes, if you haven't heard, I'll help you seo jin" I said
And seo jin threw his face aside and exhaled his breath
"Andwe!!* (don't!)" Say seo jin and leave me
Seo Jin walked quickly to exit the room and sounded like someone was locking the door
I immediately got out of the bathroom and checked
And it's true my guess, seo jin locked the door of this room so I can't catch up with him there
"Yyaa.*(hey) seo jin-ssi quickly open the door" I said without caring about the waiter in this house
"Seo jin-si!!!" I screamed and no one was shouting at me
"Auntie min.open the door" I said.
'Tok tok tok'
I tried to knock on the door from the inside hoping someone would open the door
But the results were in vain, it seems seo jin had left a message so as not to open the door of the room when seo jin left
The sound of the car engine rang and I immediately ran to the bathroom and saw the seo jin car leave this house
Watch out for you seo jin
You think I'm your pet that you can easily restrain
Ania.*(no).
I have to think about Hajung's whereabouts other than holding my hands waiting for news from seo jin
I walked back and forth while biting my thumb in the room to try to think of finding hajung in another way
Aish...
Think hye jin, use your brain to think hard
Ok
Think simple, who else is the right hand of dong il if not chul moo
Dong il couldn't possibly dirty his hands and would tell others to carry out his cunning thoughts
Until I remembered something that seo jin did not realize
Looks like I have a powerful weapon to know chul moo's movements all along
And last time, I put a sound eavesdropping chip in chul moo's car
and the monitor to listen to the chip is located...
Yep...
Being in the basement and seo jin forgets to return it to detective choi
I'm not sure I'll know 100% of hajung's whereabouts, but at least that opportunity exists and I know of chull moo's current activities
I immediately went to the seo jin reading room and wanted to head for the basement, but I remembered my nightmare and shuddered with goosebumps if I remembered it again
No hye jin, it's just a dream, there are no ghosts here
No ghost during the day although there is no difference in the atmosphere in the reading room seo jin either day or night
I ventured myself and immediately entered the seo jin reading room and headed for the basement
A chill pierced my body as I opened the basement door
It looked lonely and gripping even though I had turned on the lights in the basement
I tried to turn on the eavesdropping monitor machine to listen to chull moo
I used a headset and looked for the same frequency with the chip I left in the chull moo and faintly heard the sound of a song accompanied by someone singing
This is the sound of chul moo driving a car while humming
Uhh...
Thankfully, chul moo did not realize there was a bugging device in his car, other than I could hear chul moo, I could also detect the location of chul moo's current whereabouts
It's amazing how the wiretapper belongs to detective choi
I'm grateful that seo jin forgot his eavesdropping monitor, he only focused on his tapping chips that were already in the hands of detective choi
Shortly while chul moo was whistling, the sound of his phone rang and the reflex he picked up the phone call
"Ahh..nne* (yes) sir, of course it's safe, you don't have to worry about me"
"What?! Waiting for about 2 hours? Ahh..all right then I'll take care of it again"
"Nne..*(yes) sir, have a good day" said chul moo and immediately ended the conversation on the phone
"Aihss..the old man was very troublesome, telling me this and that without pause"
"He thinks it's easy to carry a grown man's body weight alone?"
"If it wasn't for the high pay I wouldn't be willing to do this"
"It's easier to remove a person's corpse than to have to keep a living human aishhh.sial"
"Ck...is he able to last another 2 hours in that warehouse?"
"Aish.purely he is strong, anyway I will go there to bring a blanket so that he does not get cold"
"But he hasn't touched the food since this morning considering he was drunk last night"
"Ahh...mmola-mola*(ga tau, ga tau) a person will not die if only skipping breakfast and lunch time once"
I listened to chul moo talk to himself in the car
Who is chul moo? In barn? Did he hold someone?
Until the time chul moo stopped in a warehouse that is no longer used in the area of the city of illnois factory
I zoomed in on the monitor to see more clearly the location where the chul moo stops
Chul moo whistled casually and the sound of a closed car door, I guess chull moo went to where the mysterious man was
But...
There was a lot of unused warehouse space, how could I find it
I'm sure
It is likely that the man is hajung, I should contact seo jin
I tried to call seo jin but he always refused my phone call and deliberately did not pick it up
Ck....
I'll beat you up seo jin, just look
I sent a text message containing to immediately check the location of the empty warehouse according to the location of the chul moo
However, seo jin did not reply to my message, he just read it
You think I'm a daily newspaper that only you can read?
You ugly king loris!!
I tried calling seo jin a few times and it seemed like he ignored my call
A few minutes passed, I heard the sound of chul moo gasping for breath
"Heah..haaah..fuck you!!"
"Show! When you try to do good to your hostages, you get hit and almost rescue you" chul moo said
"I wonder he still has the strength to beat me, even though the blow is not directed, but almost I was hit by an iron blow from him aishh.sial once today"
"Ohh.see my cheeks get bruised, aisshh really shit today"
"I shouldn't have made him aware and it's only natural that I teach him to battered"
"We see if you can still act like a rich and spoiled hajung master? Haha....."
"Aigoo.aigoo hurts so much when you laugh"
"I have to go to the pharmacy" said chull moo and made myself stand up from the seat when he mentioned Hajung's name just a moment ago
I have to help Hajung immediately, how he can survive this cold season
Ouh....
Seo Jin-ssi please answer my phone calls, wherever you are
I immediately came out of the basement and knocked on the door of the room and begged to open the door of his room
"Auntie min..get me out, quick!!!"
"Yya*..(hey) aunt min!!!" I screamed while hitting the tightly locked door of the room
"Pardon me madam, I just obey the orders of master seo jin" said aunt min behind the door of the room
"Auntie min, I order you to open the door of this room, hurry!!"
"I'm sorry madam deok mi, actually the door lock of this room was brought by master seo jin"
"Where's this room's spare key?" Much
"I.that I also do not know the mistress, mr. seo jin who keeps it" said aunt min
Damn
He may not know the existence of this house's backup key
He cleaned this room every day
Aunt Min is more loyal to seo jin than deok mi I can't force her
It is fitting that deok mi hates aunt Min who is two-faced pretending to be good in front of her but curses deok mi behind
I have to find another way to help Hajung
If seo jin can't help me, I have to help hajung before it's too late
I don't want a second victim after that foreign uncle died near me
I have to flick chul moo
Whatever happens, I have to go there
Alright...
First of all, I need to find a way to get out of this room
I looked for the window in this room and remembered the bathroom window that led out of this courtyard
I opened the bathroom window and saw the height so I could get out of this room
Luckily seo jin's room is in
The 2nd floor is not very high
But it would have broken a bone if I jumped out of this room
I was looking for a long piece of cloth to help me get out of this room and choose the curtains as my choice
I pulled and tied 4 curtains in this room
Hem...
You think by locking this room you'll be able to stop me seo jin?
No. gabe...
I will not repeat the same mistakes and regrets
Enough of that foreign uncle alone to overshadow my dream of being bad
I don't want to turn into a ghost and visit my dreams
I can't just sit back and rely on you to deal with your father-in-law's evil actions
You take me too lightly as seo jin, I will not whine to ask you to protect me
Because I'm the one who's gonna protect myself from now on
After being sure the strong cloth curtains were binding on the iron window, I immediately slowly descended out of the room through the window
And it seemed like my commotion had managed to get the servants in this house to gather in front of my room and make them unaware of myself trying to escape through the bedroom window
My escape mission from seo jin's room was successful
After I climbed the ground, I immediately ran out of the courtyard and left the house of seo jin
I plan to go to the police station to ask for help
I went in a taxi and without waiting for long, I told the taxi driver to drive quickly to the police station
