View MoreDuring the day the atmosphere in the city center is so crowded and busy. Everyone seemed to be walking here and there with their own business. As the day progresses, the atmosphere in the city center gets busier and more crowded. Some students and college students also started to jostle out of the building where they were studying to go home immediately or just to buy snacks in the campus yard.
A shoulder-length brown haired girl walked slowly down the stone steps in front of her campus. Holding a navy blue folder, the girl continued to walk confidently to stop the bus at the public bus stop in front of her campus.
"Hana."
A loud scream made the brown-haired girl stop in her tracks and immediately look for the source of the sound. Before long, Hana also waved her hand in return for a wave from the jet black haired girl who was now standing under the shady roof of the shelter not far from where she was standing.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Where's that shiny red car you used to use and that hot guy of yours?" The jet black-haired girl teased Hana.
Knowing that her friend was teasing her, Hana couldn't help but smile slightly as she sat herself down on an empty bench right next to her best friend's seat.
"It just so happened that today I just wanted to enjoy the fresh air around campus." Hana said calmly. Under any circumstances, that woman always shows her soft side to anyone, and that's why Im Hana always gets the nickname as the campus goddess.
While waiting for the red bus to arrive, Hana began to observe the various sights that were presented in front of her. The hot afternoon wind blew Hana's shoulder-length brown hair gently. Not far from where she was sitting, her irises caught an unsightly scene happening before her eyes. There, a man with mental retardation was being ridiculed by some of her college friends, and they even pushed him several times until his minus glasses were thrown to the ground. With firm determination, Hana wanted to stand up and help the poor man. But her best friend, Kim Sooyoung, suddenly pulled her hand to her feet and immediately got into the red public bus that would take her home.
"Sooyoung, that guy—"
"Come on, just let it go. He's just a crazy guy who's unlucky because he met those bad boys." Sooyoung said casually while waving her hand.
Im Hana is still watching the man with a pity look. Really, deep down she wanted to help the man. But, she also had to go home.
"Poor him. Can I go down and help that guy? I will take the next bus to go home or I will call Kyunghee to pick me up.”
“Ahh, I told you there was no need. Just ignore that guy. He's just a crazy guy who doesn't know anything Hana. What if he attacks you while you're trying to help him? Forget it. This bus will be leaving soon.” Sooyoung said while pulling Hana's hand to sit on one of the empty chairs.
Slowly the red bus walked away from the campus area where Hana studied. When the bus began to slow down, her eyes never left to observe the poor young man while praying that the young man would soon be free from the clutches of the bad boys who kept hurting him. But since then, Hana has been asking herself, why is this man with mental retardation in her campus? Does he live in one of the houses behind the campus building? Or was the young man lost and separated from his family? Dunno, Hannah doesn't know. She only really hoped that the poor man would return home safely.

Cho Kyunghee entered his room with an angry face. This morning his dirty business was caught by the police again. Even though he has always been careful when he sends the drugs to various countries in any part of the world. But for some reason, lately, his business seems to be being toyed with by someone. There's just a strange incident that does not make sense that befell his dark business. As happened on Wednesday two days ago, a man who usually never complains about the quality of his drugs suddenly came and said that the drugs that were sent to the man were fake. And after he proved it himself, it turned out that the drugs were indeed fake. Someone had exchanged the packet of drugs the man should have received and replaced it with a regular fever medicine.
Kyunghee massaged his dizzy temples with furrowed forehead. He reached for his smartphone which was lying on the table. When he opened the lock button on his phone, the first image that appeared there was the beautiful face of his girlfriend who was smiling very sweetly at the camera, as if she was smiling at him. Kyunghee subconsciously smiled at the portrait of her very beautiful lover.
"I miss you." Kyunghee whispered softly into his cellphone, as if the image on his cellphone was Hana who could hear every sentence he said. Kyunghee glanced briefly at the watch wrapped around his wrist.
It's one o'clock in the afternoon. Kyunghee thought to himself. Usually he would pick up his girlfriend and after that they would have lunch together. But.. this time the atmosphere is not the same. He's dealing with the police. He didn't want to involve Hana in his troubles or other dangerous things. It was enough that he had put Hana in a very dire situation at that time. This time, after the bully is gone, Kyunghee vows never to put Hana in such a terrible situation again. He will always protect Hana no matter what.
Knock knock
Suddenly Kyunghee's daydream stopped and was replaced with a flat face that implied his arrogant attitude. With a firm voice, Kyunghee immediately ordered the person to enter his room.
"Come in." Kyunghee said briefly.
Not long after, secretary Park appeared, carrying files and a red folder. Before walking closer, secretary Park bowed his body for a moment and walked back to approach Kyunghee.
“Sir, these are the files for our financial statements for this month,” said secretary Park while placing the pile of files on Kyunghee's desk.
Kyunghee looked at the files without interest.
"Then what is it?" pointed Kyunghee at the red folder that Secretary Park was holding.
“This is a folder containing the will of Mr. Lee. Lawyer Jung wants you to read this will and after that you are asked to contact him.” The secretary said politely.
Kyunghee studied the will with a frown. A year before his father died, he never wrote any will. Because in the past... he himself witnessed his father's death.
“Put that folder over there. I'll read it later. After this do I have a schedule to lead a meeting?”
"No sir. Today your schedule is quite loose.”
"Then you can go. I will sign the reports.”
Secretary Park then lowers his head slightly and immediately walks out of his boss’s office.
After Secretary Park left his room, Kyunghee started reaching for the papers to sign them one by one. If today he can finish it, then tomorrow he can spend time with Hana. However the corner of his eye accidentally glanced at the big red folder that secretary Park had brought. While slamming the pen on the table, Kyunghee immediately grabbed the red folder and opened it roughly. It turned out that the existence of the folder was more interesting than the financial report files he was supposed to sign today.
Kyunghee read all the writings there with a straight face. Most of his father's wills point to his older brother, Lee Haekyo. However, in the end he will inherit all of his father's wealth. His current older brother would definitely not be able to lead all of his father's companies, because he's sick right now.
"What's this?" Kyunghee whispered while frowning. In his father's will it was written, if the heir of the entire Lee family property would fully fall into the hands of the heir if the heir was married. Damn that old bastard! Those were the only words that crossed Kyunghee's mind after he finished reading the will. But after he managed to read the entire contents of the will, he became angry and very upset.
"Shit! Why did you write such a terrible will like this? I really need my father's assets in Gangwon to set up the biggest ecstasy factory in Asia. And it turns out he's not stupid. Father hid the land certificate in the civil registry department. They definitely won't hand over the letter to me before I actually get married according to the conditions my father has written here. Argh! No other way. I really have to force Hana to marry me immediately.”
Roughly, Kyunghee immediately pulled his brown suit draped over the chair. Today he must convince the woman that he is willing to marry her in the near future. He could no longer wait for the inheritance any longer!
Today Haekyo and his little family are at the airport waiting for Kyunghee and his girlfriend to arrive. Since morning, both Daisy and Krystal, both looked so excited while jumping on the bed when Hana told them that their uncle Kyunghee was coming today. “Daddy, where is uncle Kyunghee? What did it take so long?" Daisy asked getting tired while stretching her arms for Haekyo to be carried. Haekyo then picked up his eldest daughter to carry and told her to be a little patient, because Kyunghee's flight was experiencing delays. “Mommy, is uncle Kyunghee going to bring me a present?” Krsytal asked beside her mother while looking up at Hana. Then Hana smiled gently at Krystal and gently stroked Krystal's long hair. “Uncle Kyunghee will bring you a beautiful aunty.” Hana answered cheerfully. Hearing the word beautiful aunty, Krystal immediately frowned in confusion while looking at her mother with her big round eyes. "Beautiful aunty, who?"
Hana waved her hand at the little girls who were swimming with her father in the pool. The two girls in their early threes looked so happy to be able to spend their weekends with their very busy father. “Daisy, Krystal hold daddy's hand. Don't let go of daddy's hand, girls." Hana exclaimed worriedly from the edge of the pool. But the twin daughters still did not follow the advice of the mother because they felt safe. "Relax Hana, they will be safe. I'll keep an eye on them here." Haekyo said soothingly while chuckling amused. He knows that Hana is very overprotective of her twin daughters, even though her attitude is good, but sometimes he feels it is too much. He knew his little daughters would feel discomfy if her mother continued to treat them like babies. While they already feel big and independent. This morning, before they went swimming, they refused Hana's help to put them in bathing suits. They both stay away from Hana and yell at Hana if they can wea
Jack and his remaining men immediately ran as far as possible from Kyunghee's pursuit. Moments ago when he realized that Kyunghee had been playing with him, Jack immediately ran as fast as possible from the room because he had absolutely no weapons to fight Kyunghee. The only gun he had had been given to Kyunghee to kill Haekyo, but it turned out to be used by the man to kill his three men. Now he only has five surviving men and is running with him to avoid Kyunghee while trying to defend himself by responding to every shot that Kyunghee throws at them. Although the chance to escape and survive this pursuit is very small, Jack will still try to escape from Kyunghee and the police who have been guarding out there. He didn't want to die. "Jack, stop you!" Kyunghee shouted loudly behind him. Jack and the rest of his men seemed to ignore Kyunghee's screams and continued running towards the back door to escape. The back door was at the very end of the building and the cop
Lee Haekyo and the policemen were standing in front of Kyunghee's basecamp with the police force currently surrounding the entire base. From afar he saw two of Jack's men walking toward him with their hands above their heads, a sign that they were not carrying weapons and would not hurt them. Haekyo then tucked a gun behind his belt just in case. Today he had absolutely no intention of shedding blood. However, if circumstances forced him to do so, then he would have no other choice but to do so. "Hold on, don't shoot them." Haekyo shouted at all the police who were ready with gun muzzles aimed at the two tattooed men. After giving the order, Haekyo immediately walked up to the two men and asked the purpose of the two men meeting him. "What is it?" Haekyo asked directly with a straight face. “Mr. Jack wants you to come inside for negotiations. But you must warn all the cops not to shoot us, or Mr. Jack will kill our three captives." Haekyo frowned in e
Hyukjae crept among hundreds of boxes neatly arranged in a room. All the boxes were filled with various kinds of drugs ready to be sent which seemed to be sent today. Seeing this, Hyukjae could only shake his head while chuckling not liking all this sight. Now his assessment of Kyunghee is getting worse with the various kinds of illicit goods produced by the man's business. Bang Suddenly he heard an explosion sound coming from the room next to him. Quickly, he ran to the room to find out about the sound of the explosion, because he thought the sound did not come from one of his men. So far, he's the only one who's managed to walk in to reach this point, the rest of them are busy at the front to fight all of Kyunghee's men who are quite a lot. From a distance he saw a fierce battle taking place in the room. He then saw a man who was very familiar to him. The man was kneeling on the floor with his hands raised above his head, a sign that he was giving up. Then
Hyukjae moved into Kyunghee's basecamp along with the rest of his men. A man in a leather jacket with several of his other men got into the car and they then drove out of the base, past Hyukjae and his men who were hiding behind a pile of boxes and containers. After Jack left, Hyukjae and the rest of his men decided to immediately enter the base while sneaking around slowly. He then ambushed a muscular man who was guarding the front gate of the basecamp by giving several blows in the face and stomach until the big man fell. Several of guys had succeeded in overthrowing all the guards guarding the front base. Then Hyukjae immediately stepped into the basecamp to look for Hana. His heart had been feeling restless since earlier because he kept thinking about the various possibilities that would befall Hana inside. He felt weird with his current anxiety. Even though his own cousin, who is Hana's lover, seems calm and not at all worried about Hana's condition. But, there's no way
Flash back Kyunghee was hanging out with his bad guys while smoking a cigarette and playing cards. Today he decided to skip school again because he was lazy to follow the lessons from teacher Park which was always boring and made him sleepy. Kyunghee then took out all the money he had to start betting. And this time he was sure, he would win this bet like yesterday. One by one Kyunghee's friends had their cards in their hands. With a smirk, Kyunghee began to glance at the picture of the card he was currently holding. Then when he was about to show his card to his other friends, his eyes accidentally met the eyes of a young girl who was wearing the same school uniform as him. He began to forget his card playing activities and only focused on the beautiful girl who had stolen all his attention. Feeling that she came from the same school, Kyunghee immediately jumped away from his friends to return to school. For today he is willing to attend to Teacher
Flash back Twelve-year-old little Kyunghee seemed to be sprinting into her new spacious house holding a white paper that he just got from school. This morning he took part in the selection to be the captain of the soccer team at his school. With passionate enthusiasm, Kyunghee registered himself in the selection and she was determined to pass the selection because he wanted to show his father that he can give the best for his father like what his brother always did. Every day he always trains hard to realize his dream to become a captain of a great football team. And this afternoon, when his gym teacher announced a name that would be the captain of the national soccer championship, Kyunghee's name was plastered on the school's bulletin board along with the names of other students who passed the selection to become members of the school's soccer team. Excitedly, Kyunghee immediately tore the white paper off the school notice board without cari
"Welcome back Mr. Lee to Lee Corp," Greeted head manager Shin when Haekyo stepped into Lee corp's central building in downtown Seoul. Several other employees also bowed their heads, saluting their old boss who was finally able to lead them again. Lee Haekyo expressed his deepest gratitude for their loyalty in serving him. Followed by Mr. Kim, Haekyo continued walking while greeting all his employees one by one. After that he and Mr. Kim walked into the elevator to go up to his room. It had been a long time since the room had been empty without anyone occupying it. During Kyunghee's tenure as CEO, the man occupied the room of his father's former room which was right next to his room. From the start, Mr. Kim did not allow Kyunghee to use his room because Mr. Kim knew that one day he would definitely come back and occupy the room again, even though at that time Kyunghee had doubts about it. "Welcome back sir." Mr. Kim said as he opened the door to Haekyo's room
