Hye-yoon had a dream.

Something that happened at Saehui Hope Orphanage when I was very young.

-Bindae! You stole the cookies, didn’t you? “

-You little rat-sized bitch, really… Hey! Step on me!

Young Hye-yoon was being beaten by children from the same orphanage.

A girl with a magpie head shouted from over there.

-Hey! Get out of the way! Did you guys watch wrestling yesterday? Dropkick flying~

Hye-yoon, who was kicked straight in the face, fell to the ground.

It hurt so much that I couldn’t even cry.

Hot, bright red coffee dripped down.

Right then.

-Hey! What are you guys doing! Are you crazy?

A voice like a savior.

At that time, Seongwon, whose voice was thin, ran towards me swinging his fist.

As Sungwon, who was large when he was young, ran towards her at a fast speed, the children who had been beating Hye-yoon scattered like bugs sprayed with pesticide.

-Come here. Are you okay?

When Seongwon took out a tissue and wiped Hye-yoon’s nose, red nosebleed covered the tissue.

Hyeyoon hugged Seongwon and only then did she start crying.

-Anyway, the kids are doing bad things. Come here. I’ll wipe your faces.

As Sungwon took Hye-yoon’s hand and led her to the bathroom, Hye-yoon nodded, sobbing.

Seongwon turned on the tap water and washed Hye-yoon’s face.

Young Seongwon muttered as he heard the sound of water gushing.

-When I grow up, I’ll make a lot of money. Then I’ll eat snacks all day long. I’ll give some to you too.

-huh…….

Seongwon, who had washed Hye-yoon’s face, dried his hands with a towel and turned around.

When looking at Seongwon’s back from behind, Seongwon’s back as a child seemed wider than that of an adult.

Hye-yoon whispered in a small voice that was barely audible.

-thank you…….

Hyeyoon, who was shy and timid, grabbed Seongwon’s clothes and muttered a little loudly.

-I won’t forget………

Hyeyoon opened her eyes.

Bin Hye-yoon was a person who rarely shed tears. However, a dream from her childhood that she had after a long time brought a few tears to her eyes.

I woke up and this is what happens when your eyes are dry.

Hye-yoon took out a tissue and wiped her eyes, trying hard to convince herself otherwise.

I had a dream when I was young… I never thought that those days would be replayed so vividly before my eyes.

Hyeyoon sat up in her seat on the large bed, blankly staring out the window.

The clock next to the window shows six o’clock in the morning.

Seongwon is…….sleeping, right?

***

Um…… me…..

I was sleeping and I unconsciously scratched my stomach.

Um… Something seems strangely narrow about the bed…

I opened my eyes carefully.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Hye-yoon’s face.

Hyeyoon is staring at my face with her eyes blinking.

…….What is this kid doing here?

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you sleeping in the bed in your room?”

I woke up and my voice was hoarse so I asked in a hoarse voice.

Hyeyoon, who had been staring at my face with both eyes blinking, didn’t answer and just snuggled into my arms.

Oops… why are you like this in the morning?

Seo, are you really suggesting that we do something?? I’m not mentally ready yet…….

“I had a dream.”

Hyeyoon must have woken up much earlier than me because she whispered in a clear voice.

“Huh? A dream?”

“Yeah. My childhood dream.”

Hyeyoon hugged me and whispered softly in my ear.

“I want to go to work late today. Can’t I just lie down for a little while…?”

“Yeah, yeah. Do that.”

“Yeah.”

Hyeyoon hugged me tightly, closed her eyes, and whispered.

“Comfortable……”

“…….”

“I feel at ease. It’s the moment in the world when I feel the most at ease.”

Hmm… What did Hye-yoon dream about?

Well… Hye-yoon didn’t have many good things happen to her as a child, so I think she had a nightmare or something.

I’m a person who rarely dreams, so I don’t really understand the fear that comes with having a nightmare.

Hyeyoon, who hugged me and rested her head on my shoulder, let out a comfortable sigh.

Oops. My heart is touching my arm…….

“Hye-yoon. Your chest touches my arm.”

“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter.”

Hyeyoon, who had been lying comfortably for a while with her head resting on my shoulder, whispered again in a small voice.

“Now I can say it with confidence.”

“Huh? What?”

“Thank you.”

Hyeyoon whispered like that and lightly kissed my ear.

Ugh… I feel like my whole body is convulsing. I’ve never experienced this kind of skinship before… Before any kind of pleasure, my whole body shrinks a little.

“I’ll lie down a little longer.”

Hyeyoon whispered while holding my hand.

“You don’t have to hug me. I’ll hug you.”

Hmm. What??

***

Two hours later.

Black Emily Building.

Hye-yoon, dressed in a black business suit, appeared in the office.

“Boss. You came in a little late today.”

Alex, who had been waiting for the boss first, lifted his glasses and said hello in the morning.

“Yeah. I really hate spending time in bed with my eyes wide open… but sometimes I have days when I want to do that. Today was one of those days.”

“Yes. Everyone has days like that. Me too.”

Hye-yoon, sitting with her legs crossed and smoking a cigarette, gave an order as she slid the phone in front of her.

“Call Chairman Han of the Laance Group. I have something to negotiate about Han Hyun-ho.”

“Yes, I will do that.”

Alex quickly pressed the phone button and pressed the speakerphone mode button.

Soon, the signal rang, doo doo doo doo, and a young female employee answered the phone.

“This is the office of Chairman Han Pil-chan of the Laance Group. How may I help you?-”

“This is the Black Emily Building. Our boss wants to speak to the chairman.

“Yes, please wait a moment.”

The call was connected to Chairman Han Pil-chan with soft piano music playing.

Alex pointed to the phone politely with both hands and spoke to Hye-yoon.

“Let’s talk now.”

“Yeah.”

Hye-yoon picked up the receiver and put it to her ear, waiting for Chairman Han to answer the phone. Soon, Chairman Han Pil-chan answered the phone.

“Oh my……. Chairman Bin. Why are you calling?”

Han Pil-chan’s voice is cheerful.

“I’m Black Emily Bin Hye-yoon. I’m calling to ask you something. Is your nephew Han Hyun-ho, the chairman? ”

“Hyunho? What happened to Hyunho again?”

“I want to tell you about that later. Chairman Han Pil-chan is currently taking care of Han Hyeon-ho, right?”

“Yes. Hyunho’s father is my older brother… He passed away from an illness a long time ago…”

“That’s great. Han Hyun-ho did something very insulting to me. He tried to insult and harm someone I really care about. I called to try to resolve the issue.”

“Huh? Hyunho? Oh my. Two.”

The image of Chairman Han Pil-chan frowning and holding his forehead was vividly portrayed in Hye-yoon’s mind.

“Did Hyunho have any accidents again?”

“I don’t want to go into detail. Anyway, since he picked a fight with the mafia, Han Hyun-ho should take full responsibility. Or Chairman Han Pil-chan should take responsibility. I’m really angry right now.”

“Then, then……?”

“Can I kill you?”

“…….”

Alex, who was standing nearby and listening to the call, swallowed hard.

As expected from the boss. He’s so bold.

He looked at Hye-yoon with sparkling eyes and admiration.

Chairman Han Pil-chan, who had been silent for a moment, carefully opened his mouth.

“I don’t know why you’re doing this… but let’s just get over it. Chairman Bin. Is it okay for you to just leave like that?”

“No. This is… Han Hyun-ho practically declaring war on our organization. If we just let it go, our pride will be greatly hurt.”

“I will give Hyunho a good scolding. If Chairman Bin will just bear with it for a little while-”

“Ah. What the fuck. Seriously.”

Hye-yoon was not the type of person to swear easily.

Very rarely do I blurt out a curse word to overpower someone, and this was one of those moments.

Chairman Han Pil-chan, who was suddenly cursed at, froze and stopped talking.

“Chairman Han. Listen carefully. I feel so insulted right now. I can send the kids right now and cut off Han Hyun-ho’s balls, so don’t think too lightly. No…… Should I send the kids there right now? Please take care of Han Hyun-ho’s hands?”

“That can’t be. Mr. Bin. What are you doing now? Yes?”

“Then say something else. You should at least give up your business license.”

“Yes?”

“Think about it carefully. You guys started the fight first. What do you think I want now?”

Hye-yoon, who had informed the chairman of her question, hung up the phone.

Alex, who was watching the call from the side, clapped his hands softly.

“Well done.”

Hyeyoon frowned and stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray.

“But… What are your plans for the future…?”

When Alex asked, Hye-yoon put both legs up on the desk and answered.

“We’ve tamed the politicians by throwing enough money around. Now we have to show the chaebols a lesson.”

“Yes?”

“Eventually, everyone will bow their heads before me. Isn’t this also part of the process?”

Then Alex, with tears of emotion in his eyes, bowed his head and shouted.

“You are the boss, after all!”

“Yeah.”

Hye-yoon placed both hands on the back of her head and gave an order.

“You tell Seongwon to come here at twelve o’clock. You want to have lunch with me.”

“Do, Master? Yes. I will do so.”

Hyeyoon muttered while holding the back of her head with both hands.

“Anyway, this is also revenge.”

Alex went outside, his head down and his expression trying to hide his embarrassment.

***

Alex came out.

Alex’s expression was not good.

This bitter feeling… Does the boss really not see anyone as a man other than Woo Sung-won?

What’s with him? What’s so attractive about him?

Alex went to the smoking room on the building’s terrace and lit a cigarette.

“Alex Oraboni. You don’t look happy? Did you get beat up by the boss again?”

Someone approached the terrace and spoke to me.

A small woman wearing a black suit.

The name is Elin.

It was the woman who had played a major role in the red cross sweep and capture at the Distinguished Restaurant a few weeks ago.

“Elin. No…… It’s just. That guy Woo Sung-won is on my mind……”

“Ah. Alex Uncle has a crush on Boss, but Boss only sees Woo Sung Won. Right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Imma.”

Alex lightly patted Ellen’s head.

Elin asked, sitting at the table on the terrace, taking out her pistol and cleaning it.

“But what is it about Woo Sung-won that Boss is so obsessed with? He’s just so shabby and doesn’t seem to have any manly charm at all……”

“I don’t know either. Really.”

“You want to kill that guy? Should I pretend it was an accident and kill him?”

“Never do that. If Woo Sung-won dies, you die too.”

“Yes?”

“The boss is leaning on him dangerously right now. If you kill Woo Sung-won, you won’t even be able to find his body.”

“What…… Okay. I guess I’ll have to give that up.”

Elin, who had wiped the gun shiny with a handkerchief, shrugged her shoulders and opened her mouth.

“When I get a chance, I’ll talk to that guy Woo Sung-won. To be honest, he might be a spy from another organization.”

“That’s not it. I’ve done all the research.”

“Even if you’re not a spy now, you might be recruited by another organization later. Then… If you kill that guy then, the boss won’t be able to do anything.”

“Does that guy bother you too?”

“It doesn’t bother me. I just.”

Elin, who had her pistol tucked into her waistband, answered nonchalantly.

“I’m afraid that the boss will become flabby because of that guy. The boss always has to be perfect.”

***

An afternoon with dark clouds filling the sky.

Laance Group Building.

Han Hyeon-ho was summoned by his uncle.

The atmosphere in the chairman’s office of the Laance Group was already cold.

Han Pil-chan stared at his nephew Han Hyeon-ho without saying a word.

Han Hyun-ho swallowed hard.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Finally, Chairman Han Pil-chan opened his mouth.

“Uncle……. I…… That…….”

Han Hyun-ho, who felt that something was wrong with things, answered in a dry voice.

It was at that moment that the black nameplate in front of Chairman Han Pil-chan flew away.

-puck!!

Han Hyun-ho, who was hit head-on with a nameplate on his forehead, took a step back without even groaning.

Is it fortunate that there is no bleeding from the affected area?

“This……. crazy kid……. is picking a fight with Black Emily? Do you know what the mafia kids are picking on our group right now? Huh? ”

“Uncle, I’m sorry. I will take full responsibility-”

“How are you going to take responsibility? Are you going to go and put your neck out? Huh?”

Chairman Han Pil-chan’s voice suddenly grew louder.

Han Hyun-ho, who had nothing to say, lowered his head.

“You loser bastard. What would you have done if you weren’t born into a wealthy family? Can’t you live a proper life just once?”

“…….I’m sorry.”

“This is self-reflection. Go home right now and don’t step outside. Got it?”

“……”

“You got it? You didn’t know? Why aren’t you answering??”

“Okay.”

Han Hyun-ho, his fist clenched, turned around and left the chairman’s office.

As soon as Han Hyeon-ho left, Chairman Han Pil-chan adjusted his tie and muttered to himself.

“Who- What should I do…? Should I bow down to the mafia kids?”

Han Hyun-ho clenched his fists in humiliation.

His fists were trembling.
