Running Man: Mong Ji (Sequel: On Hold)

Chapter 57-Meeting the boss

Unfortunately for them, it was a four hour ride to the hospital from the amusement park.

Along the way, Ji Hyo held her phone tightly in her hands, praying that her father will be alright. The other running man members, on the other hand, were in dreamland, apart from Jong Kook who was driving relentlessly.

After what seemed like forever, they were in Seoul and there was only one hour left from arriving at the hospital.

Out of the blue, Ji Hyo received a text from the hospital. With an anxious heart and trembling fingers, she opened the text.

From: The hospital
To: Song Ji Hyo

The doctors had tried their best, but unfortunately, the wound was too deep and he passed away. We're sorry for your loss.

Ji Hyo was traumatised by this upsetting news and cried silently without anyone knowing. As if on cue, it started raining heavily, and immediately, Ji Hyo's tears blended into the stormy rain.

In an hour, they eventually reached the hospital. Without waking the other members, Ji Hyo marched into the hospital with heavy steps. 

"My father died.." This eerie thought kept lingering in Ji Hyo's mind as tears flowed out of her eyes without fail.

While Ji Hyo was grieving over her father's sudden death, another woman was laughing heartily to herself.

(A jail in Seoul...)

Having received the news that Ji Hyo's father has been assassinated, Eun Hye and Nick were being released from jail around the same time.

For the first time in a week, both of them inhaled fresh air from the outside world.

"It's our time to get our revenge now," Eun Hye told Nick as they met outside.

"I don't know," Nick was confused and didn't know who he should take sides with.

"What do you mean by you don't know? If we get arrested again, you'll be pulled down with us as well," Eun Hye was being crude.

"I want to turn over a new leaf," Nick exahled deeply.

"It's surprsing to hear that from your mouth. Well, I can't decide it for you. You'll have to tell Boss," Eun Hye replied.

'Who's the boss?' Nick questioned.

'The mastermind,' Eun Hye answered.

"Of course. Let me ask you another question. Aren't you tired of this? Don't you regret doing all the bad things?" Nick asked.

"That's two questions. Nope and nope. It's in my blood all along." Eun Hye rolled her eyes.

"In.. in your blood?" Nick was feeling guilty and frightened all of a sudden.

"Well don't you know? My parents have been murderers all along, they kill people for money," Eun Hye explained.

"You mean they.. are robbers?" Nick corrected her.

"Not really, they assassinate rich people, or sometimes, they kill people and then get paid by others," Eun Hye sighed.

"Is that why you're like that now?" Nick bit his tongue hard after having realized what he had just said.

"You can say so," Eun Hye looked away.

"Sorry, I'm not a sensitive guy," Nick scratched his head.

"I know. After all these years we have known each other, I know you inside out " Eun Hye blushed and grinned at the same time.

"That's a lot of "knows"s. By the way, I still don't know who the boss is, and who ... killed Ji Hyo's dad?' Nick sputtered and clenched his fists, just like what Ji Hyo did the last time.

'For the first question, that's for me to know and for you to find out. For the second question, the answer is the boss,' Eun Hye was satisfied with he own answer.

'Wow,' Nick was even more curious now.

'Let's go,' Eun Hye said, as someone in a van horned them, as a signal for them to get on it.

Nick followed Eun Hye and soon, they were on the black van.

'Hi, Boss,' Eun Hye bowed as Nick followed suite.

'Welcome back on board, you guys are now officially the chairman and chairwoman of Mr Song's company (S Company),' the Boss spoke.

Nick now identified the Boss as a female and boldly asked,'What about you, Boss?'

'I'm none other than the president,' the Boss let out a chuckle.
