[Do Ji-hyuk? What happen? ]

Ignoring Park Hae-rin’s voice in my ears, I quietly looked at Jin Seo-won standing in front of me.

“… … .”

She stares quietly with her cell phone light on.

Wearing a black sleeveless top with a deep chest cut, short shorts, and slippers, it looked like she had just come out of her pajamas.

‘… What should I do with this?’

I was a little nervous and swallowed my saliva, like a child caught in the act of making a mistake. I calmed my startled heart, gathered my wits, and thought about it carefully.

Currently, I am completely covered in equipment from head to toe.

He was even wearing a combat helmet to hide his identity, so I don’t know how he could explain it as long as he doesn’t open his mouth.

“… … .”

I quietly turned my head away from Jinseowon and tried to throw myself down the railing again, pretending I had nothing to do with it.

That moment.

“… Oppa.”

Jin Seowon catches me once again.

Jump up─

Without hesitation, she moved her body and stood on the railing of the building.

He stared at me with his unwavering gaze and asked quietly.

“… Why are you ignoring me?”

I felt like I was already sure of my identity.

‘Did you notice…? ? No, how… ?’

Is there some sense of something unknown?

That was when I was frozen for a moment in a situation where I literally couldn’t take it out or put it in.

[Do Ji-hyuk. You clearly said he was my brother, right? Did you really get caught? ]

Park Hae-rin spoke urgently as if trying to understand the situation.

I thought carefully about Jin Seowon’s personality and behavior.

Then, remembering that there was no CCTV nearby, I calmly climbed down the railing… .

“… Phew… .”

He took off his helmet, brushed his hair, and made eye contact with Jin Seo-won, who was standing on the railing.

“Come down.”

*

“… … .”

Jin Seo-won came down from the railing and looked at Do Ji-hyuk, who had belatedly revealed his identity.

If he had ignored his words and jumped down the railing, she would have followed without hesitation.

Do Ji-hyuk was vaguely aware of that fact, and while ignoring Park Hae-rin’s words chattering in his ear, he spoke softly… .

“Didn’t you sleep?”

Jin Seo-won, who heard those words, was momentarily dumbfounded.

That was something he wanted to ask.

“… What about your brother?”

“I have some business to run.”

What business do I have to do that I’m wearing suspicious clothes this late at night?

Jin Seo-won, who was looking at Do Ji-hyuk’s clothes, obediently believed his words and asked quietly.

“… What, what to do?”

“Just. I have some work to do.”

Then, Do Ji-hyuk subtly avoids talking as if it is a bit difficult to talk about.

Jin Seo-won was confident that his ‘job’ would never be ordinary.

There is no need to bring a vicious weapon to handle ordinary tasks.

“Anyway, it’s late, so go in and sleep. Don’t tell anyone else that you saw me.”

Do Ji-hyuk naturally tried to overcome the situation by persuading Jin Seo-won.

Since I’m not the type to talk lightly, I figured it would be okay as long as I asked properly.

but.

“… I hate it.”

It was not Jinseowon that could just be passed over smoothly.

It was no coincidence that she came up to the rooftop in the first place.

She, who has a keen sense unlike others, recently began to sense something strange about Do Ji-hyuk.

Following the unique energy that only he could feel, he went straight up to the rooftop.

The chance of her quietly retreating is virtually 0%.

“… I want to follow you too.”

“… Huh?”

Jin Seo-won asked to accompany him with a very serious expression.

‘driving me crazy.’

Do Ji-hyuk sighed inwardly and spoke calmly.

“Seowon. This is not something you should pursue. And I don’t even know what’s going on, so how can they take you away.”

It is absurd to intervene in something that has already been decided.

It was a statement that could not be refuted even a single word.

however… .

Jin Seo-won has already gone blind.

“… It’s a dangerous thing.”

He clearly had an indifferent look in his eyes as usual, but the thought of Do Ji-hyuk doing something dangerous alone made him think.

“… Then, take me too.”

“No, Seowon. It’s not dangerous… .”

“… If you don’t take me, I’ll tell everyone on the team.”

“What… ?”

Jin Seo-won manipulated the cell phone he was holding, turned on the messenger, and displayed the chat room where the team members were gathered.

‘No, he’s really…’ .’

Do Ji-hyuk, who was surprised that she, who couldn’t even speak properly, had learned how to threaten her, quickly shook her head and tried to calmly speak.

“Seowon. I know how you feel about me. But now this is nothing but a distraction to me. What would I think of you like this?”

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

A threat is a threat.

“… … .”

Jin Seo-won, whose likeability was taken hostage, stopped for a moment.

It might have been before, but since she had been working hard to impress Do Ji-hyuk, she couldn’t help but worry even more.

‘… What do we do.’

Is it right to meekly retreat from here, or is it right to follow unconditionally even if it means forcing it?

Of course, if you think about it logically, it would be better to retreat gracefully.

No matter how good Do Ji-hyuk’s personality is, he probably doesn’t like being forced to do anything.

but… .

She felt even less comfortable sending him away alone.

“Seowon?”

A crossroads of choice approaches.

Jin Seo-won slowly looked back and forth between the cell phone in her hand and Do Ji-hyuk standing in front of her.

“… Okay.”

Soon, I gave up my mind.

I thought it was better to be anxious than to be hated.

“Well thought out.”

Do Ji-hyuk, who was relieved to see Jin Seo-won calmly lowering his tail, smiled slightly.

“I’ll leave a proof photo when I get back, so don’t worry too much. Should I never tell other people?”

“… Yes.”

“Now, promise.”

Do Ji-hyuk takes off his gloves and slowly sticks his little finger in.

Jin Seo-won, who was quietly looking at his fingers, immediately intertwined their fingers and accepted the promise.

“… Promise.”

“Good. then… . I’ll just leave now. You too, go in and sleep.”

“… huh. … Travel safely.”

Do Ji-hyuk, who somehow managed to overcome the situation, set out on a mission alone.

*

Sejin Group headquarters.

“Lady.”

Lee Hye-ri, who was sitting in the office watching Do Ji-hyuk’s latest movements, glanced up when she heard her secretary’s voice.

“Ready.”

The story was that everything she had instructed had been prepared.

“Did you process it without mistakes?”

“Yes. We will never suffer any harm.”

What Hyeri Lee instructed was to expose the corruption of Cheonhwa Group and Cheonhwa Guild.

In short, it was an operation to shake up the rival Chunhwa Group.

Lee Hye-ri, who regarded the Cheonhwa guild and group as a thorn in her eye, finally began to lay the foundation for making Sejin the number one guild… .

In order to sweep away even the annoying Queens at once, I have been gathering all kinds of materials.

‘Just one step forward.’

According to intelligence, Seol Joo-hee is in a major slump and is attending a psychiatrist, and Hong Yu-ra has stopped all activities. Lim A-rin is so caught up in the honeymoon that she is completely neglecting the team.

Cheonhwa’s guild, which claims to be a small elite, does not have a follow-up team for Queens, so Cheonhwa is literally riding a unicycle at the edge of a cliff.

Even if I didn’t push my back directly, I was in a dangerous situation where I could fall into the abyss if the wind blew too strong.

“When can I start?”

Hye-ri Lee shifted her gaze to the secretary’s question and looked at the calendar on the table.

Then, after confirming that there wasn’t much time left until the season ended, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth and gave an instruction.

“Get started right away.”

It was the moment when a grand operation to usher in a new era began.

*

[Black society. Attacked by a robber, reported to the police… ]

Seol Joo-hee, who had just gotten out of bed, was sitting in the living room watching TV blankly.

“… … .”

It’s time to take my morning medicine in a little while.

Because the psychiatric medication is strong, I have to take something… .

Since there was no one to take care of me, I didn’t even think about eating.

[2 am on the 21st. An unidentified robber attacked the Black Society alone. ]

[The robber caught on CCTV was hiding his identity by covering his body with pitch-black equipment, and attacked the gang members sequentially as if he had been planning the crime from the beginning. ]

[ “I was having a late-night snack with my younger siblings, when he suddenly barged in and attacked me indiscriminately. I didn’t commit any crime, but I felt so unfair because I was attacked… .” ]

On TV, there was talk about a person who attacked black society.

A criminal organization reports to the police and is interviewed on the news.

I wonder if there is any comedy funnier than this, but they were complaining that they were victims and requesting a strong investigation.

“… … .”

Around this time, Seol Joo-hee was wasting time aimlessly watching TV.

Uuuu…

The cell phone that was lying on the sofa started ringing.

A phone call came in.

“… … ?”

There are only a few people who know my personal number, so who was calling me this morning?

Seol Joo-hee looked at her phone with doubts,

[ Yura ]

I was soon able to confirm that the call was from Hong Yu-ra.

‘… Yura… .’

Seol Joo-hee picked up her cell phone without thinking and slowly moved her finger to answer Hong Yu-ra’s call… .

Sigh-

Right at that moment.

[This is the next news. It is suspected that Cheonhwa Guild, a famous domestic guild, helped its parent group, Cheonhwa Group, launder money. ]

Familiar names began to appear on TV.

[ A few years ago, Chunhwa Group made a large investment in a site in Gangnam, commonly called the Yolk Land. This building, which boasts the tallest building in Korea… . ]

It was the news that the Cheonhwa Guild was involved in a major corruption.
