   Time passed by so quickly. Instead of exploring like the gentlemen recommended, I spent my time in my room, reviewing my notes. I would also take breaks like a short nap or just simply staring out the window where the view of the vast garden, gazeebo, lake and mountains can be seen.

   It was pretty calming to just enjoy the view even for a while.

   The sun was already setting when I was called for dinner, so I made my way downstairs, trailing behind Wonwoo who led me to the dining area. A long table greeted me, but only a few men sat there; Seungcheol sat at the head, beside him is Wonwoo and Junhui.

   I decided to sit beside Wonwoo.

   "Where's the four?" Seungcheol spoke.

   "Still out there for business," Junhui casually responded as we began to eat.

   Business? I wonder what scheme they're up to.

  I silently sat there and ate my food, however, Seungcheol and I would lock eyes from time to time. I felt a little awkward which is why I would avoid his gaze as much as possible. He probably noticed that I'm curious of what they're talking about.

   Can't help it because I'm interested.

   Right after dinner, I decided to help in cleaning up for it would be rude if I don't. I got the plates to the sink while Junhui washed them.  I leaned on the counter while his back is facing me. "You know, I'm quite curious on what work you do," I trailed off as I stared at my nails.

   I wanna know what they're doing which is why I plan on slowly cracking the shell in order to know. "Oh, you don't know?" Junhui asked.

   "Hmm, well, I've got quite an idea about it, but I'm not sure,"

   "I want you to guess, little red,"

   "Hmmm...you're Seungcheol's minion?"

   "You're near," he chuckled.

   "uhmm, you're his like uhmm...bodyguard," He chortled.

   "I'm his hitman," he looked over his shoulder and smirked at me.

    "I kill for him, that's all," I was a bit taken back by his straightforwardness.

"Because we do bounty hunting and protection services for politicians," he added.

Obviously, they're a crime organization.

   "You're joking," I chuckled as he turned off the faucet and faced me while leaning on the sink before walking towards me and leaning on my ear.

   "I wish I was," he whispered which sent chills down my spine. He walked past me, but I followed him.

I see, so they kill whenever politicians ask them to. They're like their dogs, but I know there's some good money to that kind of business since I've read some cases about that.

   "Damn, don't you even feel a little bit of conscience?" I asked.

   "That is pretty much what we do in a crime organization, so why would I feel conscience?"
