After having dinner with her grandfather and avoiding his constant nagging that she should move into the Song Main Mansion, instead of living alone in a condo on the other side of the city, Song Areum finally went home.

Collapsing onto her bed, she was prepared to sleep, but then her phone rang. Tiredly, she reached for her purse. Without looking at the contact info, she picked up the phone.

"Hello...?" She tiredly mumbled, her eyes threatening to fall asleep.

"Areum, are you up?" The quiet and hesitant voice of Park Jennie was enough to make Song Areum sit up on her bed.

"Yes, what's up? Are you alright? Is your brother alright?" Song Areum asked. She was no longer exhausted after hearing the worried voice of her friend.

"He's fine, but mom and dad are having trouble finding the assassin...Apparently, every camera footage was cut off during the scene of the crime, and none of the police could find anything." Park Jennie explained, sitting alone in her multi-million condo. She started out the window, her eyes were misty and tired.

"For him to nearly succeed and have the ability to wipe out all of the cameras within the vicinity prove he's not a simple man." Song Areum frowned, getting up from her bed and turning on her computer.

"I-I know...Mom and dad were thinking of hiring some private hackers, but they're not sure who to trust. Jihoon wanted to use his underground resources, but my parents severely rejected the idea because they're really paranoid about the media and Jimin's enemies finding out about this mess." Park Jennie heavily sighed at the situation at hand.

The Park family, unlike the Song, was not built upon the foundation of having old roots in the city. Their connection was far beyond that. A few generations ago, they came from the dark underground world filled with violence and crimes.

They had a Mafia background ever since the beginning of their time, and it wasn't until recently did they resurface into the light by conquering the business world. Lead by the tyranny of the previous head of the Park family, Park Jennie's grandfather, they became the strongest family this country had ever seen.

All of their Underground backgrounds were expertly hidden, and after a vow made by the current Head Monarch, they promised to become civil and peaceful members of society.

Many of the Park family went against this decision, but one ruling from Park Jimin himself was enough to silence his entire clan.

And because Park Jennie's father was raised without the harshness of the Underground world, he didn't acquaint himself with the resources he had at hand. But his eldest son was different.

Instead of focusing solely on the Business world and keeping his hands clean from blood, like his father, Park Jimin walked into the Mafia world. Accompanying his grandfather at a very young age, Park Jimin learned both the trades of the Business world and Mafia life. And after seeing his older brother dive himself into the Underworld, Park Jihoon also became apart of it.

Now that Park Jimin had a company to manage and run, Park Jihoon became his second-in-command in order to prevent the Underworld from going rampant.

"It's been a while since I've last talked to him, but I will contact Kim Namjoon and see if he can dig anything up." Song Areum said after a long pause. She placed Jennie on speaker and then texted him.

"Kim Namjoon? Oh my goodness, why didn't I think of him?!" Park Jennie gasped, nearly forgetting her old friend.

She wasn't as close to him as Song Areum was. Unlike Song Areum, Park Jennie rarely reached out for his help.
