(A/N: so apparently this story is so close to be eligible for this years Wattys.

Prosecutor Jung, now on Babel's payroll, storms Geumga Plaza with Choi Myung-hee only to stumble upon something..., weird and Vincenzo decides to teach him a lesson on loyalty

WARNING : PROFANITIES UTTER BY MIN-JUN)

Han-seok turned to Haru, who was clutching her legs to her chest. She was visibly shaking and pale as the sheet on his bed.

He scoffed, knowing this was a last ditch effort by her brother or that Italian scum to save her honour. He approached the bed, gently stroking her cheeks.

"Gosh, they must've loved you so much", he sighed.

Han-seok picked up her cardigan and handed it back to her. "Go home, Lee Haru", was all he said to her before leaving.

Haru didn't feel any relieve until she was in the car and told Mr Park to quickly head back to Han-seo's place before Han-seok changed his mind. She entered Han-seo's penthouse, startling her lover.

"Haru...", Han-seo collected her in his arms.

"He didn't..., we didn't", she sobbed uncontrollably.

Han-seo frowned, until he got the text from his brother.

MEANWHILE

Prosecutor Jung was nervous to head back to face the tenants of Geumga Plaza, especially Vincenzo Cassano. Everyone must've figured out what he had done by now.

Both he and Choi Myung-hee marched up towards Geumga Plaza. The building was dimly lit and their first place was Jipuragi Law Firm.

Upon entering, they found the lawyers and Min-jun all passed out and bottles of soju were scattered around them. That made no sense - if it was them in the CCTV, an hour ago, then shouldn't they still be at least sober?

Choi Myung-hee slammed her hand on the desk, waking up the four of Team Jipuragi. Vincenzo groaned, stating his headache had kicked in while Cha-young was giggling.

"Oh, Miss Choi. Care to join us for a drink?", Vincenzo offered a cup.

"Enough with the act! I know all four of you broke into Babel!", Choi Myung-hee demanded.

"We've been drinking since dinner, how the fuck did we have the straight mind to do that?", Min-jun groaned, turning to the other side and continue to sleep.

"Min-jun is right *hic*. We can barely stand straight, Miss Choi", Mr Nam struggled to stand up.

"Check them", Prosecutor Jung commanded his men.

The minute he turned to Vincenzo, he saw something dark in the consigliere's eyes. He looked calm outside, but inside, he was obviously terrified of what this man can do.

They raided other places. So far, everyone's alibi was checked out, solid as rocks:

-Toto and An were spotted at the convenient store nearby and went back to the restaurant to prep for tomorrow.

-Mr Tak was busy with laundry and mending clothes and his CCTV proved he was there.

-Miss Kwak and her son were practicing boxing.

-Chul-wook and Yeon-jin were at the cafe opposite of the plaza with staff working there backing their stories up.

-ByeBye Balloon was recording a video for a new promotion in their office.
