The Road We Walk On

105 | On Guard

Alex was notified by his contact in Seoul that Seokhoon and Rona were going to be targeted by Seojin. He summoned Peter to come to his office in New York the next day.

Alex Lee's Office, New York

Sir, you asked for me.

Yes Peter, come in. How have the children been doing?

Things are going well - they both have done well in their surprise competition at Juilliard. As a couple they have become closer.

Oh what do you mean?

They are sharing a room now.

Hahah, Seokhoon has become a man huh. Anything to report on the home front?

Nothing much, I've already started the process regarding redecorating their rooms. It isn't much, just a bit of reorientation is required but other than that, everything is good at home.

Alright good, some information has come across from Seoul and I think it requires us to rearrange certain things.

However, do you mean?

It seems that Cheo Seojin has issued orders to her secretary that she would like Seokhoon and Rona killed.

KILLED?!

Yup, it is unclear how serious she is, but we have to be prepared if she goes through with it.

But sir, it's not like she is going to stage a trap or something all the way in New York.

She probably won't be able to do that, the easiest way for her to do that, is hire a hitman.

That will be suspicious for her, don't you agree?

I do, but from what my contact tells me Seojin has been very angry about the upset that Yoonhee did to her. I think right now, all she wants is some sort of revenge.

If Seojin has hired the hit, then there's a high chance that Dante doesn't know about it.

Agreed. Even if Dante is the monster that he is, it is clear he cares a lot for Seokhoon. So here is the plan, hire more security for the children. I believe as long as they are on campus they are safe. It is when they go out on the weekends and such that can be dangerous.

Do we tell them?

I don't think it's necessary - right now if we do tell them, chances are they will be distracted from their studies and worry a lot. Let's keep it between us. Second, we should put some feelers out and see if there is a contract out on them. We have contacts in the underground world, use them. But our greatest weapon is leaking this information to Dante. I suspect he may not stop Rona's contract BUT he will stop Seokhoon's. We need his hindrance.

Yes sir, understood. I will get right on it.

One more thing, if someone does pick up the contract - capture them and press them for information.

Yes I understand.

Note: All of a sudden it becomes like a dangerous drama.... hahah don't worry no blood, no death
