In front of Hye-yoon’s mansion.

I put my hands in my pockets and yawned while waiting for Yeonlim.

Why did Hye-yoon ask to meet Yeon-rim here? They could have met somewhere else.

Well… Hye-yoon must have thought about it too.

As I was thinking that, a luxury car slowly approached from the other side. The car stopped in front of the mansion.

Yeonlim got out of the car with a very nervous expression.

Yeonlim opened her eyes wide and looked around the mansion, then opened her mouth.

“Is this Bin Hye-yoon’s house?”

“Yeah. Of course it’s Hye-yoon’s house. Not mine.”

“Wow…….good.”

At that time, I read the emotions in Yeonlim’s eyes.

I want to live in a house like this too… That must be it. Yeonlim is a woman who risks her life to turn things around more than anyone else.

When Yeon-rim saw the mafia bodyguards walking around with guns, she got scared and stuck close to me.

“Am I going to die? What if Bin Hye-yoon kills me?”

“Don’t kill me. Don’t worry. Hye-yoon at least pretends to listen to what I say.”

“Really?”

Yeonlim asked with her eyes sparkling.

When we were dating, I could risk my life for those sparkling eyes… I remembered the old days.

I looked at Yeonlim expressionlessly and then turned around.

“Okay. Let’s go in. Hyeyoon is waiting.”

“Huh? Yeah.”

Yeonlim swallowed hard and gently grabbed my collar.

You must have been really scared.

Well… I felt the same way when I first met Hye-yoon, who had become a mafia boss.

As I pressed and held down the small doorbell button, a large metal gate, like a castle gate, opened with a clang.

So we entered the mansion.

***

“Welcome.”

Hyeyoon, sitting with her legs crossed at the table, greeted us.

Phew… First of all, the clothes Hye-yoon is wearing are normal.

I was worried that I would make things difficult for Yeonlim if I stayed in my underwear again…

Yeonlim swallowed hard and sat down across from Hye-yoon with a very nervous expression.

I sat down on the sofa in the living room a little way away. I didn’t want to get in between them and interrupt their conversation.

Hyeyoon, who was alone with her arms crossed, stared intently at Yeonrim’s face.

Yeonlim lowered her head and said nothing, seemingly daunted by those eyes.

At times like this, Hye-yoon’s gaze is a bit scary. When Hye-yoon gets angry, she’s the kind of person who shoots lasers from her eyes.

He wasn’t even angry at the time, but he was looking at Yeonlim’s face with a very intense gaze.

“Who confessed first?”

An unexpected question.

Bin Hye-yoon, what is that guy talking about now?

Yeonlim, who had been lowering her head, raised her head in surprise.

“Yes?”

“When you were dating Seongwon… who confessed first?”

ok?

Why are you asking that again?

Didn’t you call Yeonrim because her father was involved in the assassination?

When I frowned and made a face, Hyeyoon glanced at me and smiled awkwardly as if telling me to stay still.

Yeonlim, who was very nervous and had her head down, answered with her shoulders shaking slightly.

“Seo, Seongwon confessed first…….”

“Really? Wow. But why did you break up?”

“That, that’s……..”

Yeonlim couldn’t continue speaking. Yeonlim’s shoulders were shaking even more.

Then Hye-yoon smiled and answered.

“I asked you a personal question, why are you acting like that? Did you commit a crime?”

“Oh, no……”

“I don’t intend to curse at you for that. When you’re in a relationship, cheating and all that kind of thing can happen.”

Hyeyoon smiled sarcastically, jumped up, and went to the sink. Then she filled a small kettle with water and started boiling it.

“I’ll make you some coffee. Do you like coffee?”

“Huh? Yes. Joe, I like it.”

Yeonlim nodded her head repeatedly.

That’s weird. Why do you brew coffee in a kettle when you have a coffee pot at home?

Hyeyoon, who was standing in front of the gas stove and staring at the kettle, opened her mouth without looking back.

“Tell me everything.”

“Yes?”

“About Yeonrim’s father.”

Yeonlim was completely intimidated by Hyeyoon.

Yeonlim, her face pale, glanced at me and began to open her mouth.

About what he saw and heard. About the suspicious phone call his father had recently made.

ah.

I understand why Hye-yoon acted like that.

It’s a thorough script designed to put pressure on Yeonlim.

Hye-yoon must have planned out every line she said and every movement she made in her head.

I also felt pressured by Hye-yoon’s back as she stood looking down at the kettle.

Since I can’t see her face, I don’t know what expression she’s making. However, from Hye-yoon’s well-made back, I can feel the stern atmosphere that will not tolerate lies.

This is the level of preparation you need to have to be a mafia boss.

Yeonlim told Hyeyoon the same story she had told me at the cafe.

It took about ten minutes for the story to end.

Meanwhile, Hyeyoon, who had poured coffee into a mug and placed it in front of Yeonrim, sat down again with her legs crossed.

Hyeyoon, who was crossing her arms as if it were her habit, stared at Yeonrim.

“……Your father should probably die.”

Finally, Hye-yoon opened her mouth like that.

Yeonlim, who had a sad look on her face, quickly looked at me with eyes asking for help.

This won’t work. I have to do something to mediate here.

I jumped up and intervened.

“Hye-yoon. Yeon-rim came to you personally and told you important information. Can’t you save Yeon-rim’s father?”

“Hmm… Listening to this girl right now, I think it’s clear that her father is involved in killing me. What kind of mafia in the world lets an assassin live?”

“The assassination hasn’t happened yet. It’s still in the planning stage.”

“Mr. Sungwon is so naive. It’s the judge’s job to reduce the punishment for an attempted crime. I’m not that tolerant.”

Then Yeonlim spoke with a trembling voice, tears falling down her face.

“……Ah, please save Dad. Yes?”

Hyeyoon shrugged her shoulders, stared at Yeonrim, smiled, and answered.

“Okay. Yeonlim-ssi. Listen to me carefully. If you listen to me carefully from now on, I might be able to save Yeonlim-ssi’s father. It’s just a possibility, but……. You have to do exactly what I say. Got it?”

“Yes? Of course. I will do that.”

Yeonlim nodded exaggeratedly.

“If we arrest Yeonrim’s father right now, it’ll be a total failure. Then we’ll only catch the tail. We’ll have to wait until all the fish are in the net. The ones who led this are obviously the Red Cross guys.”

“That’s right. My, my father was used.”

“Then, Yeonlim, please go home and wait for the orders from our organization. If you do as I say… If Yeonlim doesn’t disappoint me, your father may live.”

“, thank you. Thank you.”

Yeonlim, covered in tears, kept lowering her head.

It’s a rather pitiful sight.

By the way… Hye-yoon completely suppressed Yeon-rim’s energy. It’s the first time I’ve seen Yeon-rim struggling like that. She’s a pretty arrogant kid in her own way…

Still, is it a good thing that things ended well?

When I smiled, Hye-yoon saw my expression and smiled back.

“Ah. Now that I think about it, Yeonlim has one more thing to do.”

“Yes?”

Hyeyoon jumped up from her chair and whispered in Yeonrim’s ear.

“I wish you had apologized to Seongwon properly in front of me. You said something unspeakable to Seongwon, didn’t you?”

What, what?

What kind of antics is Bin Hye-yoon doing again?

I don’t need anything like an apple.

I sat on the sofa and suddenly got up and said.

“What, what kind of apology? Hey. Bin Hye-yoon! I don’t need that. Whether it’s an apology or something else, Yeon-rim and I are already over.”

“I want to see this girl apologize with my own eyes. Right?”

“…….What?”

“I don’t like it when you get insulted.”

what…..?

I didn’t quite understand.

Why are you doing this? What does Hye-yoon want from Yeon-rim?

Then Yeonlim suddenly stood up from her chair.

And then Yeonlim slowly walked towards where I was.

Yeonlim, who knelt down in front of me, put her forehead on the floor as if bowing and opened her mouth in a clear voice.

“I’m really sorry. Seongwon…….. I was wrong back then. Can you forgive me?”

This kind of apology is burdensome. I’ve already received enough apologies in the past.

When I looked away with an embarrassed expression, Hye-yoon smiled and came over to where we were.

Hyeyoon, who was crouching down next to Yeonlim, who was resting her forehead on the floor, whispered while stroking Yeonlim’s head.

“Yes, Yeonrim. You shouldn’t insult Seongwon so carelessly.”

“……”

Hyeyoon whispered in Yeonlim’s ear in a very small voice.

“Now you know your topic, right?”

…….I got goosebumps.

***

“Why did you do that?”

After Yeonlim left.

I asked Hye-yoon.

“What?”

“Yeonlim has already apologized to me enough. She didn’t need such a burdensome apology. Isn’t it strange? Yeonlim is kneeling in front of me.”

“Actually, it’s because I want an apology.”

“What?”

“I don’t like the fact that such a lowly woman insulted you.”

Huh…? Should I feel good about this?

Oh, no. Even so, Hye-yoon went overboard.

I didn’t want to see Yeonlim kneeling in front of me.

Anyway, it was true that I felt a strange sense of pleasure.

Yeonlim, who spoke rudely to me back then… called me a loser and a loser in life.

It felt like Yeonlim was being psychologically humiliated.

Oh, no. You shouldn’t feel pleasure from that kind of thing.

Yeonlim will think I’m strange.

Now, I don’t have any intention of looking good to Yeonlim, and we’re not in a relationship where that would be the case, but… at least I wanted to be remembered by Yeonlim as a normal person.

Hyeyoon threw the t-shirt she had taken off at me and muttered as if she was tired.

“I have to wash up and go to work. You go home and play games.”

“No. I’m going to look for a job.”

“Is that still the case?”

“Huh? What?”

Hyeyoon, who was standing in front of the bathroom and preparing to take off her clothes, smiled and answered.

“You suffered enough during your orphanage days. Now live comfortably.”

“No. People have to work.”

“Oh my. Aren’t you satisfied with your current life anyway?”

Hyeyoon’s words seemed to hit the nail on the head.

I kept my lips tightly shut and couldn’t answer.

Hyeyoon answered like that, took off all her clothes, and went into the bathroom.

I gulped.

As always, Hye-yoon’s well-toned butt is fantastic no matter when I see it… no.

I guess Hye-yoon is used to seeing naked bodies now.

I told you not to take your clothes off in front of me.

***

Two hours later.

Black Emily Building.

Hye-yoon, sitting in her office, called Alex.

Hye-yoon was telling Alex the hot information she had obtained directly from Yeon-rim.

“Boss. You’re lucky. Things will probably work out better than you think.”

“Yeah. I guess I’m lucky. It could have been dangerous if I had just made a little mistake.”

Alex cleared his throat and asked again.

“So what are you going to do now……?”

“We have to catch them all at once. Wouldn’t it be better to just pretend not to know and wait until they carry out the assassination?”

“Huh? Then wouldn’t it be too dangerous?”

“We have to risk our lives to wipe out the Red Cross guys.”

Hyeyoon stretched out and continued speaking.

“First, install a wiretapping device in Shin Yeon-rim’s house. Shin Yeon-rim will tell you when the house is empty, so don’t worry. Also install a wiretapping device on the roof of the apartment where Shin Yeon-rim lives.”

“Yes, I will do that. What next?”

“I have a fun idea. It won’t be fun if I tell you already.”

“Yes?”

“You’ll find out later. For now, just do as I say.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And also……um……..”

Right then.

Alex noticed that the black stockings Hye-yoon was wearing had a tear in them.

Alex, his face slightly flushed, gave an embarrassed cough and opened his mouth.

“Boss. Your stockings are all gone.”

“Oh my? Really? Oh my. I came wearing a skirt for the first time in a while.”

Hyeyoon quickly took off her stockings and took out new ones from the drawer. She put on black stockings. Alex tried to avoid looking at her long, slender legs, which were a subtle erotic sight.

The drawer was filled with black stockings.

“You have a lot of black stockings.”

Alex muttered as if trying to hide his embarrassment.

Then Hye-yoon, who was wearing stockings, answered with a light smile.

“Seongwon likes blacks.”

“Yes?”

“He says that even when he watches porn, he only watches porn with women wearing black stockings.”

Alex held back his question with a dumbfounded expression.

…….How does the boss know that?
