Angelica's knees shook nervously as they sat in a room, waiting for her lab results.

Sunghoon didn't seem nervous at all as he sat calmly scrolling through his phone.

Angelica looked at him and suddenly slapped his knee.

"How the fuck are you not freaking out about this?" She whisper-yelled and Sunghoon looked at her in amusement.

"Because, if you're pregnant that's okay, and if you're not that's also okay." He responded as he continued looking at his phone.

Angelica stared at him in disbelief and shook her head, looking towards the wall again.

"Well you're not the one that would carry a baby for nine months and then push it out through your vagina." She said as she scrunched up her nose.

Sunghoon chuckled and turned off his phone to look at her.

"Well I'll be with you most of the time."

"And that helps how?" She joked as she turned to look at him, he raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to speak, but the door opened interrupting him.

Angelica nervously stared at the doctor who carried the results in her hands.

Me? A baby?

"Well your results are great, depending on the perspective." The doctor said as she passed the papers to Angelica.

Shit, I am aren't I?

She nervously stared at them, hesitating to grab them. Sunghoon noticed her reluctance and reached for the papers himself.

He looked at Angelica as he held them up in his hand.

"Should I read it or should you?"

Angelica waved her hand as a gesture for him to do it.

Sunghoon opened the envelope and skimmed through the papers.

She studied his expression to figure out the result, not being able to tell.

"It's the house down the corner." Sunghoon told Heeseung as they drove down the empty road.

"Just park here just in case. We're going to head in and if we need to run I'll text you the signal, okay?" He continued as he got off the car, Jungwon following suit.

Heeseung nodded quickly and Sunghoon shut the car door, walking confidently down the street.

Once they reached the home, Jungwon was the first to stealthily jump over the backyard fence, Sunghoon following him.

They noticed the easy to open sliding doors and went for it.

Jungwon used a pin like in old fashioned movies, sticking it into the small hole until he heard a little click.

He smirked and looked at Sunghoon, softly sliding the door open.

They quietly walked inside, looking around for any potential threats.

"Since we kind of accidentally got rid of Tom, we can skip that part of the plan and move on to the next." Heeseung said as he passed Sunghoon a photo. "This guy is Dae-hee. He doesn't do much, but he handles the two most important things. Computers and transportation."

"We figured out that the car that Mr. Park has been using is Dae-hee's. I have a friend in the police who helped me track his license plate." Jungwon said as he nodded.

"So what do we need to do?" Sunghoon asked as he looked at both of them.

"We have to at least get the keys of the car and manage to force him to pass us his system codes before the cops get there. Dae-hee must have access to the cameras in the mansion and the cameras in the warehouses. If we manage to do all of that, Mr. Park will be slightly disabled and it'll be easier for us to know his location."

They slowly made their way down the hallway of the one floor house, seeing three doors.

Sunghoon stops as he stares at all three, trying to figure out which one he should open first.

Jungwon took a risk as he quietly tried to open the one on his left side, but it was locked.

"This is it." Jungwon mouthed as he pointed at the door.

Sunghoon nodded as he continued walking down the hallway, turning towards his right and pushing the door open.

His eyes widened as he noticed it was a baby room.

His gaze focused on the crib in the corner, seeing a baby girl no bigger than eight months staring right back at him.

He has a child?

She stared at him curiously as he only stood there awkwardly.

Jungwon walked in behind him, immediately noticing the child in the room.

"Shit, he has a kid?" Jungwon whispered as he shook his head. "Distract her so she doesn't cry while I find the keys."

"How am I supposed to-"

Jungwon was already disappearing down the hallway without listening, and Sunghoon let out a small sigh, looking back at the little girl who continued to stare at him.

He awkwardly looked around the room and he spotted a chair near the crib.

Well at least she's not crying yet.

He walked towards the chair as the little girl's gaze continued to be on him, and sat down.

He nervously stared at her and she suddenly gave him a gummy smile.

Sunghoon couldn't help but grin as the little girl bit onto her toy.

She must be teething.

He looked around the room more thoroughly this time, noticing the different toys laid about the room and the many diapers that were scattered in a corner.

His eyes spotted a cute turtle onesie hanging on the door and his smile got wider.

"That's adorable." He whispered to himself as he started falling into his thoughts.

He suddenly felt a weak grab onto his jacket and he turned his head towards the baby, who had managed to feebly stand up holding onto the edges of her crib.

She reached her little arm towards Sunghoon, almost gesturing for him to pick her up.

Sunghoon's eyes widened and he hesitantly shook his head.

"I'm a stranger. Stranger danger, okay?"

The little girl giggled at Sunghoon playfully moving away every time she would reach for him.

"I got the keys." Jungwon suddenly walked into the room with the keys in hand, catching Sunghoon's attention. "We need to get Dae-hee now."

Sunghoon looked at the baby, feeling apologetic towards her.

He was here to lock her father in jail for God knows how many years.

Dae-hee's not going to experience her growth but most important of all, he's going to be missing from her life.

She won't see him often, won't get to be around him.

She won't have a father to protect her.

But then again, her father was living the wrong life.

He should be worried about her safety more than anything, but willingly working for Mr. Park is thousands less than safe.

Sunghoon already had the experience of living with a criminal father and for sure he didn't want her to feel the same unnecessary guilt he felt.

"Sunghoon, let's go, we don't have time." Jungwon rushed as he walked out of the room.

Sunghoon looked at the little girl one last time and followed Jungwon out, closing the door behind him.
