Love is Stronger than Blood (Snowdrop Oneshots)

38- jealousy

You may be thinking, "hold up, Kangmu literally abandoned Hanna for six years he has no right to be jealous over anyone"

And you'd be right.

But I'm doing this anyway.

It was actually kind of a tough call to decide if the third party in this would be Gal Sangsik or Ahn Gyeonghui, but I finally made up my mind.

"Where's Jang Hanna?" Lee Kangmu asked. He'd been all around the office, but still hadn't seen his fiancée since early that morning.

Seungjun looked up from a couple papers he was filing. "Jang Hanna sunbaenim? She probably went to the news station again."

Kangmu frowned. "Again?"

"Yeah, she's probably helping Gal Sangsik-ssi out with another report," Oh Dongjae said. "Doesn't he ask her to help him like every week?"

"I don't think-"

"Ever since they worked together to expose the election scheme," Seungjun cut Kangmu off. "And An Gyeonghui shot Sangsik-ssi. I didn't expect him to live."

"Technically, he was dead for minute or so," Dongjae said. "They revived him somehow."

"It took Sangsik a few months to get back on his feet and reporting again," Seungjun told Kangmu. "Hanna's been helping him ever since."

"I see," Kangmu said, turning to leave the office. Seungjun and Dongjae exchanged confused looks as he walked out.

"Was it something we said?" Dongjae asked.

Kangmu used the radio in his car to call Hanna. There was a beep and a bit of static, but no response.

"Jen-jang..." he mumbled, turning it off and on again. "Jang Hanna. Hanna-ya. Do you copy?"

This time, she answered. "I read you, timjangnim. What's going on?"

"Where are you?"

"News station. Why?"

"What are you doing there?"

"Oh, Gal Sangsik just asked me to help him with his latest broadcast—"

"Why does he need your help?" Kangmu asked. "You're not a reporter."

"Your words wound me, timjangnim," Hanna said playfully. "I know I'm not a reporter. He just keeps me around in case someone else tries to shoot him in the middle of a broadcast."

"Which studio are you at?"

"Why?"

"Just tell me, Hanna-ya."

"The one in the southeast corner of Seoul. Why do you need to-"

"I'm on my way. Let me in once I'm there."

"What-"

Kangmu hung up the radio and started up the car, heading for the news station.
