"It wasn't an accident." Hana gripped Jung Kook's arms to prevent him from walking away but he removed it. He was stomping almost near the door. "Atty. Choi's car crash wasn't an accident..."

Jung Kook turned around ran to her. He pulled her hair back when he caught her and gripped her neck. "What do you mean? Huh?" Hana tried to push him away but her fingers are now becoming numb and purplish. All she can do is scratch his arms. "Hazeera..." Hana struggled to say and felt that her eyes are almost bloodshot. When Jung Kook saw her face already lacking oxygen he pushed her away. Hana fell on the floor chocking. She gasped for air and Jung Kook just stood frozen. "What do you mean?" He repeated.

"Your father..." She breathes heavily and run her hands from her face to her hair. "your father...messed up with a drug cartel who calls themselves as Hazeera..." She reached for the sink so she can balance when she stood then bend over the sink with her arms stretched before she breathes heavily again. "Uncle Jung...He stole information from Hazeera and threatened to expose their clients and their drug lab..."

He took a step forward which made Hana squirm. "Your father faked my death so I can be safe...but Hazeera didn't buy that. Long story short, Hazeera is after us because they thought we have the code." She went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water and gulped it at once. The bottle was half-empty when she placed it on the counter.

"What fucking code are you talking about?" He kicked the kitchen stool and roughly raked his hair backwards.

"The stolen information was kept safe inside a safebox that your father developed when he went to the states. It cannot be broken unless the code was entered...Uncle Jung, he must've...buried it with him until his last breath."

"How am I supposed to believe your shitty story? For all I know, you're just after the money!" He looked at her angrily and his teeth clashing.

Hana smirked and looked back. Her eyes were challenging his. "Don't believe me then, give me a call when something bad happens to your girl." Jung Kook's fist clenched. He went towards her and slapped her hard. It was his first time hitting a girl, let alone his wife. Hana let a small laugh and wiped her bleeding mouth. "I'm so glad our marriage is just a contract...Do you hit her too?"

Jung Kook turned around and that's when guilt started to consume him but his head were filled with battling thoughts justifying his actions. He calmed himself before driving after he went out of the house. He coughed before dialing Minji's.

"Babe...what happened?" He can hear her sobbing.

He smiled. "I should be the one crying." He then started his car.

"I'm just...worried. You were not returning my call. How is your godfather?"

"Stable." There was silence between them. "I'll pick you up. It's been a long day and I just really want to be with you."

"I can't leave Tia Isabelle now. Her ex-husband showed up asking for money and I'm worried he's gonna come back." Minji bit her lip for lying again. Her Tia Isabelle was crying non-stop and she wants to make sure she's okay.

Jung Kook started to worry and though unrelated he remembered Hana's warning. "I'm going there."

"You sure?" She asked.

"Yes, will Tia Isabelle mind if I stayed for the night?"

"No, I told her about us already. She likes you." Jung Kook tried to smile but his worries are lingering. He was driving faster. "I'll just get clothes then be with you okay."

"Alright. Drive safely."

Minji welcomed Jung Kook with a hug when she opened the door. He was carrying a boquet of long stemmed red roses and a box of cake. Minji's eyes widened just by looking at it. He kissed her head and Minji was waiting for Jung Kook to give the flowers to her but was surprised when he walked to Tia Isabelle's room and knocked on it. When Tia Isabelle opened the door, Jung Kook gave her the roses and Tia Isabelle ran to his arms for an embrace. She cried again. Jung Kook tightened her embrace while swaying and caressing her hair. Minji then noticed that he is still carrying his backpack.
