MasukLF, who had swayed for a brief moment, immediately pulled his gaze away from the window as if nothing had happened.
“Hmm, do I have to go to Italy again? I'm tired.”
Then he opened his laptop and leisurely checked the business report regarding the expansion into Italy.
“LF, don't worry about that. I'll go alone. And something strange happened earlier.”
“If it's about the Shanghai faction, don't worry.”“Really?”At the very moment Mu-hyul's mind went completely blank, Code One's secretive offer echoed around like an auditory hallucination.― It's a solo mission regarding media corruption. The compensation for a month-long mission is 20 million. I wonder if you are willing to take it.Unable to endure the cold silence beyond the monitor, Mu-hyul swallowed his dry saliva and answered.“Right now my mind is occupied with other things, so... I am sorry.”― Understood.Along with the mechanical sound, the top-secret call with Code One flowing from the computer speakers came to a chill ending, almost fruitlessly.Mu-hyul's hardened face was reflected on the monitor screen where darkness had settled.‘...Hyeon-sin.’A corner of his chest grew heavy and suffocating, as if a sticky lump of lead had been placed upon it. The expression of Si-on standing beside him was equally dark and pale.Trying to h
A sharp, fierce vitality finally returned to Ga Gye-yeong's once-clouded eyes. It was a bright glint shining keenly, much like that of a wild beast.He silently stared at the heavy rain beating violently against the floor-to-ceiling window. The world outside the window was blurred into the distance, swept away by the downpour, and Gye-yeong's voice capturing that landscape was terribly rational and cold.It seemed that because he had been foolishly hovering in place while only monitoring Hotel E's movements, he had caused unnecessary concern for friends who were more precious than his own life.As if trying to hide the embarrassment rushing in late, he adjusted the neatly buttoned suit jacket and stood up from his seat.“Just because I'm tied down here doesn't mean I've lost the path I need to walk. Don't worry. I'll take care of it myself.”What more words were needed when a man was going to save his own woman with his ow
Hyeon-sin stepped into the lobby of Hotel E with heavy footsteps, as if her feet were filled with lead.The lingering afterimage of Ga Gye-yeong stabbed so excruciatingly at her heart that she simply could not bring herself to walk toward the elevator heading to her room.She couldn't tell whether she was intoxicated by the strong alcohol or by emotions even more potent than the drink.The afterglow of that brief, heart-wrenching time spent with Gye-yeong was so sweet that, even if this were a dream destined to shatter, she never wanted to wake up.Hyeon-sin sank onto a chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window as if collapsing onto the marble floor.Then, with unfocused eyes, she gazed vacantly out at the rain-soaked, gray streets of Tsim Sha Tsui.“S, what is it? Why are you sitting here like this?”A low, heavy voice broke the silence.When she raised her head, LF stood before her with a soft, e

Though Hyeon-sin herself might not know it, immense forces were moving all around LF.‘Now he will take S back to Korea...’Anxiety surged over Hermann.How much more complicated would things get if Hyeon-sin vanished?

“I am different. I have the power to protect you.”“Don't use that power on me. You should use it in a more valuable place. And lastly, there was something I absolutely had to apologize for...”Hyeon-sin filled her posture with determination and bent her neck deeply toward Gye-yeong to offer a formal bow.“I have no face to raise for disappointing you. There are other things I'm hiding as well, but there are still things I cannot tell you. Now... I truly will never show up in front of your eyes again. Even in dreams... I won't hold onto you.”Wiping away her tears again with the back of her sore hand, Hyeon-sin whispered harshly toward Ga Gye-yeong as if those words were her final testament.Gye-yeong felt as if his heart were being torn to shreds, driving his mind to near madness.“It's fine. Everything is fine with me.”“Representative Gye-yeong, but Hong Kong is too da
