Ri Jeong Hyeok cursed himself as he ordered another coffee, he knew he would poisoned his system before he managed to find Yoon Seri with the rate of his caffeine intake in the past 3 days. Against all of his better judgement and not to mention the fate of his family which might be in grave danger over his decision, he had crawled his way to the South. Both figuratively and literally.

After arriving in the South, he cursed himself again because he didn't do his research enough about the whereabouts of Yoon Seri while he still had access to the North intelligence. Now he had to resort to a 5 years old memory when Seri bragged to him that she lived in one of the most prestigious area in Seoul and that she owned a penthouse whose size of its smallest room could equal of Mu Hyeok's entire house. But boy did Gangnam was a crowded area.

He had tried to find information about her on the internet cafés that were littered throughout the city, but of course none of them cited exact address of her. Another thing that he managed to glimpse from various news and gossip portal alike was that Yoon Seri was akin of a celebrity South of border. He had managed to find various article featuring, including but not limited to the slew numbers of men she had dated over the years. Though the number had dwindled to almost nothing in the past 5 years.

And also, that she was really, really loaded.

That put another barrier on his attempt to search for her. Because one thing he knew best was that, elite people didn't linger on the mass. They had their own way of transportation, their own place to hang out, and their own way to live that they only shared with very limited people with the same income level.

Therefore, he did what he knew best.

Stalking.

It was something that he had learned the most being an elite force in the past 3 years. He would pick his target and gathered everything he needed to make sure he could zero-in his target.

Therefore, in the past 3 days he had been frequenting places where Seri might go. Her offices turned out to be blank, because both Seri's Choice and Queens Group headquarter were swarmed by security. He'd tried to stalk those buildings, but he didn't even catch a glimpse of her silhouette. So, now here he was, drinking his fourth cup of coffee in an attempt to watch the road of Gangnam with hope of finding her considering how much she loved her coffee.

He was about to give up and trying to find a sauna, because he felt so dirty and smelly after spending the past 3 days in cold. Walking outside the café where he had sat almost half day in its window seat, he almost felt like in a dream when he saw her walking out from a store.

She looked as beautiful as he remembered her from afar, if not even more. She looked definitely at her element, with a very fancy clothes ensemble, though her high heels brought concern for him. She looked as if in deep thought as she munched the chocolate bar on her hands, so he decided not to startled her. Because the truth was, it had been 5 years since they saw each other in person. Standing straight in her line of walk, he waited until she caught sight of him.

And his breath was taken out of him over her startled expression.

He reigned all the will inside him to not rush to her and drew her into his arms. Instead, he just smiled and told her that she was not dreaming and it was really him standing in front of her. She wasted no time and proceeded to hold him tight.
