" ....... "

I think it's been about 8 hours

I've been tied up for about 8 hours and I've figured something out.

That man paid the thugs to bring me to him.

And the amount of money to give them is a little less than the standard amount,

He is Lee Ji-hoon's ex-girlfriend's older brother.

The fact that I have another younger brother,

And the fact that he is using me to get revenge on Lee Ji-hoon.

It's sad, but it's really pathetic.

How many years have you wasted on revenge?

If I had spent that time doing other things, wouldn't I have been getting along better with my brother?

If that were the case, I wouldn't be tied up like this and wasting my time.

And I got hit on too. I'm so pissed I could die.

하여주 image

하여주

" hmm.... "

I burst out laughing at what Ha Sung-woon would say as soon as he saw me.

I will get out cleanly without any injuries.

The man has been away for about three hours now for some reason.

Ironically, I never thought that the emergency knife that Ha Sung-woon always told me to bring would be useful.

So I cut the rope that was binding my arms.

하여주 image

하여주

"Put your arm in."

This is a really sloppy kidnapping.

There's no one to guard it, and it's all done by myself...

하여주 image

하여주

" .......under "

The wrist

The taste is gone.

I was sitting down and my feet felt weird...

What on earth did you do when you brought me here?

I moved my swollen feet a few times.

If I kept going like this, I felt like I would meet a man.

In the end, it seems like it would be difficult to go out.

Even if it's hard, I have to hide on the stairs above the second floor.

Not long after, someone's footsteps were heard.

And he was too busy being startled by my absence.

이찬우

"Fuck... Where did you go...?!"

Then I calmly started looking through my phone.

이찬우

"It's okay. I have the pictures I took earlier."

It was far away so I couldn't see it well...

I think it's a picture of me tied up.

A hostage situation, huh?

He was a truly pathetic person.

_

Things just don't seem to work out.

Listening to Hansol's story was of no use.

I was more worried about Yeo-ju than angry at Han-sol.

성운 image

성운

" under..... "

한솔 image

한솔

" .....! "

Hansol, who was standing next to Seong-un, received a text message and thrust it at Seong-un.

한솔 image

한솔

" ...Chairman "

성운 image

성운

" ...... "

The photo is a screenshot of a chat window with Hae-joo's photo and address written on it, and someone sent it to Han-sol.

성운 image

성운

"Pass it on"

성운 image

성운

"Find the address written down and break in immediately, and see if they are safe."

한솔 image

한솔

"Yes, Mr. Chairman."

Someone received a text from the culprit.

Who could it be?

And why did you take a picture of that and send it to Hansol?

No, first of all, safety was the priority.

Well... it has to be, please...

_

It seems like about an hour has passed.

Then I heard the footsteps of someone other than that man,

The man who heard the footsteps got up from where he was sitting and approached the culprit of the footsteps.

이찬우

"Hahaha! I really didn't know you'd come?"

하여주 image

하여주

" ...... "

Lee Ji-hoon.

It was Lee Ji-hoon

지훈 image

지훈

" ....There isn't any."

이찬우

"Wow~ Calm down lol"

이찬우

"Do you know what will happen if you leave it here?"

Hey, that guy pointed to the wrong door.

이찬우

"It's over there"

지훈 image

지훈

"If you tell me that, I'll go first."

Jihoon, who was walking towards the door, made eye contact with me.

이찬우

"Calm down! There's a bomb I prepared over there."

지훈 image

지훈

" ...... "

Lee Ji-hoon was seen trying hard to suppress his laughter.

Even if I think about it, it must be a really absurd situation.

지훈 image

지훈

"So what do you want?"

이찬우

" you "

이찬우

"I wish you were dead"

이찬우

"In my hands"

There was silence for a moment.

Lee Ji-hoon, who looks indifferent,

The man looks excited.

지훈 image

지훈

"That might be a bit difficult."

Yes. As expected, someone who risks their life for others...

지훈 image

지훈

"The hostage in that room and I are both going out."

....there is

이찬우

"Hahaha! That's funny."

이찬우

"I will kill one of them no matter what."

이찬우

"Whether it's you or that girl! I'll kill anyone!!"

Haa, Ji-hoon laughed in vain as if he found it ridiculous.

지훈 image

지훈

"Kill me, then."

As soon as Ji-hoon finished speaking, the man ran towards Lee Ji-hoon.

The calm Lee Ji-hoon and the excited man.

It was a fight where the outcome was clear.

It's a bit of a trap that the man is holding a knife.

하여주 image

하여주

" ..... "

It was a really great skill.

Figure out a man's patterns and exploit his weaknesses.

How many people can fight a man with a knife with their bare hands?

지훈 image

지훈

"Just this much, is this how you tried to kill me?"

지훈 image

지훈

"It's so pathetic."

Lee Ji-hoon showed a victorious smile.

Approaching the fallen man

He tied the man up in the same place I was tied up.

이찬우

"Fuck..."

The man shed tears.

What kind of tears were they?

지훈 image

지훈

"Come out now."

It was directed at me.

하여주 image

하여주

" ..... "

I tried to ignore my swollen ankle and got up from my seat.

하여주 image

하여주

"That's amazing"

Lee Ji-hoon saw me staggering and came over to me to help me up.

As soon as I came down to the first floor with Lee Ji-hoon's help,

From behind, a man was seen cutting the rope and running towards Lee Ji-hoon with a knife.

하여주 image

하여주

" ..... "

It hurt.

지훈 image

지훈

" .....!!! "

The knife that stabbed me

지훈 image

지훈

"What, what are you doing now...?"

It hurt so much.

하여주 image

하여주

"Oh, this really hurts..."

이찬우

" iced coffee..... "

The man who stabbed me took a step back.

He was a pathetic person until the end.

지훈 image

지훈

"Wait... Wait..."

He made me sit with my back to the wall for a moment and then went out to the man.

I don't know.

The man fell down

Lee Ji-hoon came to me.

My eyes feel like they're closing more and more...

Over there... someone else...

_

I opened my eyes, lifting my heavy eyelids.

When I opened my eyes and looked at the scene, Hansol was crying next to me.

Ha Sungwoon came into the hospital room and saw me running towards him as if crying.

성운 image

성운

"Hey, are you okay?"

I could see he was trying hard to act as if nothing had happened.

하여주 image

하여주

" ....I'm alive "

Ha Sung-woon smiled with tears in his eyes.

성운 image

성운

" ....Of course, who are we "

하여주 image

하여주

"Were you worried about me?"

성운 image

성운

"Isn't that obvious? You call that talking?"

Ha Sung-woon, who was always upright, bowed his head and shed tears.

하여주 image

하여주

"I'm crying over something that was only held for a few hours..."

하여주 image

하여주

"Stop crying too, oppa"

한솔 image

한솔

" .... Miss "

Hansol's eyes were red and swollen from how much he had cried.

한솔 image

한솔

"I'm really... sorry..."

한솔 image

한솔

"It was my fault..."

After saying those words, my brother continued to shed tears.

하여주 image

하여주

"I... couldn't take care of my body."

Since when did I

하여주 image

하여주

"You did nothing wrong, oppa."

Is this the kind of person you became?

지은 image

지은

"I'm glad you're safe, Miss."

The author appeared with a relieved smile and a basket of fruit.

지은 image

지은

"I don't know how much the chairman cried and complained."

하여주 image

하여주

"I can tell without even looking"

성운 image

성운

"Hey, Mr. Lee...!"

Haha, I burst out laughing.

It's been a while since I last smiled, I can't even remember

성운 image

성운

"Yeah, like this... Smile, hey."

성운 image

성운

"You know that expressionless face is scary, right?"

하여주 image

하여주

"I don't know."

The heroine looked at Seong-un with a blank expression.

성운 image

성운

"Oh my god, you really don't listen to a single word."

Seong-un got up from his seat next to me.

성운 image

성운

"Yeah.. I saw your face and I saw you're alive and well."

성운 image

성운

"I'll go back to work first."

한솔 image

한솔

" ....I will go back too "

I heard that Hansol oppa will take my place for a while while I recover.

하여주 image

하여주

"Please"

한솔 image

한솔

" ....yes, don't worry"

지은 image

지은

"Please focus only on your recovery, Miss."

지은 image

지은

"Don't worry about schools and organizations."

하여주 image

하여주

"Yeah, okay, sis."

The author smiled faintly.

지은 image

지은

"Sister, that's nice to hear."

Are you really going?, Seong-un, who had already gone to the hospital room door, screamed.

지은 image

지은

"I'll go, miss."

한솔 image

한솔

"I'll go too"

Hansol, who was still sobbing, bowed and greeted.

After Hansol left, Ji-eun also said goodbye and went out of the hospital room with Seong-un.

하여주 image

하여주

" ..... "

Although I was left alone in the hospital room, I didn't feel lonely.

I think the warmth of family was greater than the loneliness.

하여주 image

하여주

"I think my ankle is really out of place."

After trying to twist my ankle several times, I gave up on moving it any further.

하여주 image

하여주

" hmm.... "

Looking out the window like that

Knock knock,

Knock, the hospital room door opened.

하여주 image

하여주

" ...... "

It was Lee Ji-hoon.
