Irregular - Vincenzo

otto

A few hours after the incident at the venue, the bunch found themselves clinking their glasses of wine together, smiles on their faces, Hanseo, and Seeun taking a seat on the couch. Hanseo happily brought the liquid up to his lips, looking around. "The chief prosecutor sure came up with a solid story for us early today, and those Visual team leaders won't see our faces again," Myunghee said, looking at Junwoo. "He's worth every penny~" Junwoo cooed, his voice higher, more playful, and straight. "Hey, Brother." 'Yeah?" Hanseo replied, keeping a smile on his face.

"I appreciate your kind gesture, but you shouldn't take the rap for such a trivial charge this time," Junwoo spoke, moving his glass around in circles, an attitude in his voice. "Take the fall for the paper companies, tax evasion, and illegal stock acquisitions!" He listed out, Hanseo's face staying straight, the smile wiped off of his face, nothing but a blank expression left there. "That's when you can really prove how loyal you are to me," Junwoo said with a smile, eyebrows standing up.

Seeun felt as if she wasn't in the room, a sinister feeling waving around. What was he doing? Treating him like such a toy? Right in front of everyone? She looked at Myunghee and Seunghyuk, seeing them smile, sitting up straight. This was normal, wasn't it? This wasn't the Junwoo she knew, the Junwoo she met a week and a half ago. He was acting odd, and strange for what happened just a few hours ago, and she was afraid of what would happen if she ever spoke up.

"Of course, Sir!" Hanseo said, a smile making its way back to his lips, Junwoo swishing the dark wine around, watching his brother raise his hand to his chest. "Back there, I got ahead of myself.. Don't worry, I'll do anything for you!" Hanseo chuckled, Seunghyuk beginning to laugh, a villainous grin coming to Junwoo's lips.

"My, this is beautiful, I love the wine!" Seunghyuk laughed, leaning in for another refill, trying to lower the tension. Hanseo glanced at Seeun, and Seunghyuk, eyes begging for them to come outside with him.

"You should've told me first-" Seunghyuk was cut off as the three came out of the elevator, Hanseo put a hand to Seunghyuk's chest, hushing him, afraid, and paranoid that someone was watching them. He took both of their arms, taking them out to the indoor parking lot, stopping in front of the window, his hand going to his hips. Seeun looked to Seunghyuk, who looked to her. "My heart really sank back there.." Seunghyuk said, "How could you do this discussing without me?" "I thought it'd be the best deal for me If I took this blame for what happened at the office.. And the venue.." "Did you think Chairman Jang wouldn't see through that?.. My goodness, you frustrate me." "The other charges include.. tax evasion and illegal stock acquisitions. That's way too much for me.."

Hanseo looked off to the side, seeing Seeun, tears crowded around the corners of her eyes. "What is going on?.. What is he doing?.. Are we all safe?.." She barely whispered, Seunghyuk shaking his head, knowing the real answer. "You're telling me.. Chairman Jang brought her into this, without telling her a thing?" "If he did, It would be all lies!.. Seeun.." Hanseo said, bringing her closer, hand going up to her cheek. "Seeun... I don't want you around him alone Seeun.. Don't listen to what he says.." Hanseo begged, knowing she was confused, out of touch with the real situation. "But right now, we don't know what's coming after us since my brother is the Chairman.."

"What if... I just.. I doubt Mr. Jung has any substantial evidence to put you in jail to cover himself up, but if Vincenzo uses his tactics and finds more evidence.." Seunghyuk went on, trying to calm everyone down. "Mr. Han.." Hanseo suddenly spoke up, "Arrange a meeting with Vincenzo.." "With Vincenzo?.." Seeun whispered, wanting to do anything to keep herself, and Hanseo safe, not so sure about Junwoo's concerns anymore. "Yeah.." Hanseo replied, a smile making its way back to his face, "The sooner, the better.. He'll even be on our side."

The same night, Junwoo had asked Seeun to stay a few more hours with him, letting her get into more comfortable clothes before they hung out a little bit more. He set his phone down on the table, sitting beside her, the television on in front of them. "Reminds me.. Of me and you, when we went out to that place, Hmm?" Junwoo asked, nudging her shoulder, his smile threatening to fall once she barely reacted. "Yeah.. It does!" Seeun suddenly said, going to act, just how Hanseo seemed to do. "Why do you say that?" "Because the time we spend together soothes my mind Seeun.. And you and I.." He pointed up, "We're gonna be on the top of the charts together.."

"What do you mean?"

"Babel! I'll give you anything, and everything you want when I get up to the highest position in Korea when it comes to law.. I just need you.. I need your help." He whispered, slowly leaning in, their noses barely touching. "You and I.. would be the perfect pair for this industry.." Junwoo quietly spoke, his breath tickling her lips, one of his hands going over her cheek. He was interrupted by his phone suddenly buzzing, ruining the moment for the second time, a wave of relief washing up on Seeun, her chest falling.

Junwoo snickered, rolling his eyes before he answered the call. "Yes, Mrs. Choi?" "I found the easiest way to get rid of Vincenzo." "What is it?"

"Yi Yi Je Yi," Myunghee said, sitting up on her chair.

Junwoo smiled, giving Seeun a thumbs up, "What is that?" He asked, putting her on speaker. "I'm not that good with Chinese idioms. "Use other enemies to get rid of your enemy."

Vincenzo? Vincenzo.. Vincenzo. That name rang in her head almost a thousand times. Hanseo wanted Vincenzo to help, and Junwoo didn't want anything to do with Vincenzo, it was like the two brothers were constantly against one another..

That's when things began to click..

Chayoung, Vincenzo, and Mr. Nam sat in the Jipuragi Office, the guillotine file connected to their laptop. Chayoung suddenly looked up, seeing their door open, Hanseo, and Seeun walking inside, the rest of them looking over in fear. Mr. Nam shut the computer closed, Hanseo giving them a little wave. "Well I never got to say this but.. Your office.. It looks lame and awkward. It's nice." He said, watching Seeun hit his shoulder, a whine coming from his lips.

Mr. Nam glared at Hanseo, Vincenzo making his way up to them. "Why are you here?" "What? I can come if I want to." Hanseo replied, looking up and down at Vincenzo, watching the Consigliere do the same, suddenly making him nervous. "Your so stupid at times.." Seeun scolded, flicking his forehead before she sat down, smiling at Chaeyoung, who smiled back at her. Hanseo set a bag down, awkwardly looking around. "What's this?" Chayoung asked Seeun, leaning back in her seat. "Something he picked up on the way, I don't know." Seeun shrugged, "Probably something stupid."
