In-yeop heaved a sigh to calm himself. He is irritated right now but he has no right to be mad since he is talking to their boss. "Where do I bring the girl?"
"Oh, no no no! You are not bringing the girl anywhere," the man said and smirked. "I want...

"You've gotta be kidding me," Minwoo said as he raked his hair up from frustration. "I knew it! I knew this will happen!"
They are standing at the side of a creek, all their motorcycles are parked near them. They decided to stop for a while when they are sure that no one is tailing them, for them to talk about what they should do. The sun is about to rise and they have to think and move fast before Mr. Han's people could find them.
"We are not sure that those are Mr. Han's people," Chorong said, trying to make himself believe that they won't receive the wrath of their boss.
"Who else do you think will do that, huh?" Minwoo furiously said, raging in anger from what's happening to them.
"They might be the Yang's," Chorong added.
"Yeah, right! Keep on making yourself believe that!" Minwoo said and walked past Soomi to wash his face in the creek, giving the girl an irritated glare. Soomi just hanged her head low because even though she knew that these guys were meant to kill her, they still risked their lives to save her.
"You can just all go your way," Soomi said which made all of them look at her. "I'll figure out a way to go to my province without them spotting me."
"And how are you going to do that?" Chorong asked.
"I... I still don't know but I'll figure out a way," she answered. "All of you can just go back to normal once I'm gone."
Minwoo stood up from washing his face and took long strides towards Soomi. That made Soomi step back from fear. Jib immediately stopped him knowing what the guy could do because of his temper. "You think we could go back to normal after them knowing that you were alive and were with us after telling Mr. Han that we already killed you? Are you fucking stupid?!"
"That's enough!" In-yeop shouted.
"No! You stop!" Minwoo matched their leader's anger. He roughly pushed Jib who is stopping him and walked near In-yeop. "What is wrong with you?! Why the hell did we not finish the mission? You were never like this before!"
In-yeop wanted to shout back but he held it in because what Minwoo said is right. They had never failed a mission before and that is why they were able to have loads of money which they can spend whenever they want. That is the reason why they were able to buy the cabin and were able to renovate it according to their desire. However, that cabin is now useless after what happened.
Yes, they have loads of money. Money which they got from doing bad things. And that is what In-yeop is thinking about lately.
In-yeop just stared at Minwoo and that pissed the latter more. He wanted to scream more and punch him in his face but he knows he will regret it in the end. So he turned around and a string of curses escaped his mouth.
"I have to make sure she's safe," at last, In-yeop spoke after the deafening silence. They all looked at their leader. "I know you all are pissed off because of our situation right now and most certainly you are pissed off by me. If you want to go, then go. We don't work for Mr. Han anymore so I am not your leader anymore."
In-yeop raked his hair up and got a cigarette from his pocket. When he remembered he doesn't have a lighter, he roughly threw the stick, and a string of curses escaped his mouth.
"You're choosing her over us?" Minwoo said with a lace of disappointment in his voice. In-yeop did not speak and just stared at the creek. Minwoo scoffed from annoyance and turned to his motorcycle.
"You know what," he said and wore his helmet. "Have it your way. Let's go, Jib and Chorong." He sat on his motorcycle and waited for the two boys to move. With disappointment on Jib's face, he silently wore his helmet and decided to go with Minwoo.
"Chorong!" Minwoo called out the fat guy who is still staring at their leader. He knows how much the group means to In-yeop and after having their conversation last night in the cabin, he came to realize what it is In-yeop is feeling.
"I'll stay," Chorong said as he turned to look at Minwoo. "I'll stay."
Minwoo shook his head and started his motorcycle. Jib did the same. "I hope you succeed in your plan," Minwoo said and sped off with Jib following him. All of them stared at the motorcycle speeding away from them.
"What do we do now, boss?" Chorong asked as he faced In-yeop. In-yeop stared at Soomi and the girl reciprocated his stare.
"Change of plan," In-yeop said as he grabbed the flip phone he uses to contact Mr. Han and snapped it into two pieces. He threw the broken phone on the creek and looked at the two again. "Knowing Mr. Han, he'll have someone to surveillance everyone you know so we cannot go to your cousin's place. Do you know someone he might use against you?"
"What do you mean?" Soomi asked.
"Someone important to you. Family, close friend... Boyfriend?" In-yeop asked, hesitating whether he should ask the last part.
"I only have my mom and she's... she's now gone," Soomi answered. "I am very dedicated to my job so I barely made friends."
"That's good," In-yeop answered which made Chorong give him a meaningful stare. In-yeop just gave him his deadpan expression. "We have to move," he said and walked to his motorcycle. Chorong did the same and wore his helmet.
"Where will we go?" Soomi asked as he follows In-yeop.
"I know a place," he answered and gave her the spare helmet. He straddled his motorcycle and waited for Soomi to ride as well.
"You can ride with me since my motorcycle is more spacious than boss's," Chorong offered but only to tease In-yeop. He wanted to see his leader's reaction if Soomi will decide to ride with him. Soomi was about to go to Chorong's motorcycle but In-yeop is quick to stop her by her wrist.
"Stay with me," In-yeop said and stared at her straight in her eyes. Soomi stared at him as well and she doesn't understand why her heart skipped a beat with that action. In-yeop slowly lets go of her hand and Soomi ride on his motorcycle. Just like what In-yeop made her do earlier, she wrapped her arms around his torso and clasped her hands on his abdomen. Chorong just watched everything with a smile on his lips.
This is going to be fun. He said on his mind. Both of them started their engine and drove to their destination.
