Guess Who's Back? The Devil

"Are you saying that to…" Max started.Hana cut him off before he could finish. "I'm serious. I told you I'd be back in two to three months, and now I am. You should be happy.""Of course I'm happy," Max said. "It's just so sudden, I won't believe it until I actually see you.""Yeah, yeah. Wasn't it you who said two to three months felt so long? And now you're calling it sudden. Well, the days move fast.""I really am happy you're coming back. There's a lot I need to tell you in person." He hesitated. "And I'm still a little annoyed you never find time to call me.""I'm sorry," Hana said, softening. "What is it you want to tell me? Give me a little of it now."Max let out a breath. "I'm starting to sound like a gossip because of this, but here it is. You know Henry's father married him off to Fulvia. Well, guess what, his mother just tied him to a mistress too.""What?" Hana's voice sharpened."Shocking, right? The mistress is even pregnant.""For who?" she asked."What do you mean, f

"What?" Henry shot to his feet. "What is she doing here?""I know, right? You're shocked and surprised all at once, your first love, standing right in front of you." Max stood, swirling his glass. "If you'll excuse me, I'll give you two some space to talk.""I don't think that's necessary." Henry's jaw tightened. "Max, please, just tell her to leave.""Henry, you didn't even greet me, and already you want me gone?" Hana said, stepping closer."I think I'm the one who should leave." Henry turned for the door. "Max, next time you call me, make sure it's just you. Not her.""Henry! Henry!" Hana called after him, hurrying to catch up.Max sank back into his seat, staring at the two empty chairs. "Should I call this a tragedy or a comedy? At this rate, love's going to be the death of my mental health."*****"Henry, I know I was wrong, but please, hear me out," Hana said, knocking on his car window. "I know you still love me. Stop being so stubborn, you can't fight it. I love you too. Just

"We should forget about it," Max said. "You said the same thing when a girl deliberately left a lipstick stain on Henry's collar back in school. Do you know what you did to her in private? You beat her up so badly she didn't dare come to school the next day. She even transferred.""So?" Hana cut in. "You talk too much. I'm more mature now. Do you think I'll go beat up Henry's blind wife and his mistress? Come on, that's trash. Just give me my cake.""Right, maturity. I forgot about that." Max handed her the cake."Thanks," Hana said.*****Later that night."Bye. Goodnight, drive safe," Hana said."I will. Goodnight. Go inside, it's cold out here," Max said."It's cold in the hotel too. Bye then." Hana turned and stepped inside.*****Hotel room."Hello," Hana said."Hello, Hana. I couldn't believe it when you said you were back," Kenzy said."Well, it's true.

"Wait, Jason?" Hana said, surprised."Yes, it's me. Long time no see. I heard you went to Korea, and you even dumped your dumbass boyfriend.""I did. Don't say that about Henry. I heard you went to jail too.""You know I don't know how to apologize, so, yeah, you're right, I did go to prison. Spent two years there actually. Long story. What are you doing here? It's been a while.""A friend of mine told me there are people here who are very good at investigating, and other things.""Your friend is blessed then. Yes, here we investigate, stage accidents, act, and kill if needed.""No, I'm not planning to kill anyone. You know what, just give me your number, I'll call you to explain the details.""Okay, good. Here, type your number, I'll call you now so you can save mine too. Still as cruel as back then. Bad girl.""You can say that again," Hana said, typing her number."Oh, it's ringing. Saving it now.""I don't really have much cash on me, but take this.""Hana, for you? Don't worry, i
