"Auntie Huang is really crazy!" Jaemin slam his hand on the table ruffling his hair in frustration. "I can give you a hand, all you need to do is say yes" Jeno grin. "What help can you offer me?" His interest perk up. "Kim Doyoung"

"What?"

"Kim Doyoung can let you and Hajin out of that place, alive and well" Jeno sat properly, fixing his shirt. "It might be easy to say but it's not" He replied out of frustration. "I never said it's easy but here, listen to me, it will take you lots of time. Maybe 6 to 10 weeks" Jeno states. "Maybe more than that. Auntie Huang is living in the house already. She's always everywhere. I won't be surprise if she has a camera plant all over the corner of the house"

"That's why you should give her what she wants before acting"

"Are you crazy? She's setting my girlfriend with her son" He snaps. "Now, now, hear me out. The wedding won't happen right away, come on. It will take them months while the months happen, you gotta act. She took so much from you already, do you want more then?" Jeno adds. "Honesty, I want this, that's why I'm helping you" Jeno rub his fingers together, pertaining to money. "Money is not the problem, I can pay you whatever amount you want"

"And I have a plan. Come on, I won't leave my fiend hanging" Jeno look up, a pen on his hand which he plays since earlier. "What's your plan?" He asks. "Let Hajin marry Renjun, well not exactly marry him but let her act like she's agreeing to it. You're the heiress of Godai, you can do anything you want. You just gotta access your inherit and we might wanna touch it, if you don't mind"

"Budget is what you need" Jeno continues. "And hey, have you heard of the part that you'll get your inherit and Hajin at the same time?" Jeno smirks as he said those words. "You have the power and everything. Come on, think, my friend"

"Your Grandpa. Your Grandpa is the most powerful person in the house."

Hajin sat by the balcony of Jaemin's room, staring at nothing. Lee Haechan is insane. Everyone in the house is insane. What did she get herself in to? Even Jaemin is acting weird. The person whom she thought she know very well seems like he's hiding something.

The talk with Lee Haechan does took a lot of energy from her. She don't know whether it's true or not but something is telling her that it is true. Lee Haechan has no reason to hate this family, maybe that was the reason why. But why, why does Jisung not know it? Does he really not know it or he's just pretending to not know it?

"This is hell"

Haechan's words rang in her head. It does seem terrifying just to listen to it. But being in the area where it was said a massacre has took place, it is scary. Maybe she shouldn't have enter this place.

"Hey" Jumping on her seat, she step back only to see Jaemin back from the company. "Why are you so surprise? It's just me" Jaemin strip his coat. "What were you thinking? You were in deep thoughts you did not even hear me enter"

Hajin stares at her boyfriend. Dark circles around the eye, messy hair and visible wrinkles on the shirt. She knew something was up. Jaemin would never leave the house looking like he murder someone. "Did you go to Jeno?" She asks. "Yes, we were talking about something." Even Jeno is involve, why won't you tell me something?

"Jaemin, is something up?"

"What do you mean? No?" Jaemin answers combing his hair. "Anyway, pack your bags. We're leaving" The man adds. "No, I'm gonna go home" Jaemin shot up in surprise. "No! You can't go home. If you do they will...they will" It was late when he realize what he just said. "They will what?"

"Answer me, Jaemin. You've been avoiding my whereabouts since you went to the company. What's really happening? If it's a family problem, I won't be in this but considering how much you're hiding this to me only answers that I'm involve in it"

"What will my family do if I return home, huh?"

Jaemin gulp which is clear that it's noticeable to the woman. He knew Hajin could read him. He didn't know he had to let this out early. "They'll force you, so don't go" He shortly answer, his eyes staring at the woman's. "Force me to what? Stop beating through the bush and tell me"

"Auntie Huang want you to marry Renjun"

"What?" Hajin let out, speechless. "That's why I've been constantly coming to the company. Everyday they would ask me about you. They want me to break up with you so Renjun could marry you right away. Even your parents agree to it. They said it's the best for the both of you and Auntie Huang said you'll take care of Renjun well, and Renjun will do the same."

"You...you won't let me, right?"

Jaemin was surprise. He thought Hajin will agree to it and just leave him. But it's the opposite. "I'm trying but they're winning" He tears up. "I'm trying my best to make sure you're still mine after all this but you don't know my Aunt. She once end up killing Haechan's spouse. Just because she likes the woman for Renjun"

"I'm scared you'll end up like her"

"I shouldn't have let you in here. It's all because of me" He pull his hair, getting mad at himself. "No, No, Jaemin" The woman calls holding his hand making him let go of his hair. "It's okay. It will be okay, huh?" Hajin encourages. "No, it won't"

2 days pass by in a blink of an eye, Hajin found herself out of the house with the Na Cousins as multiple cars pull up. She knew herself who is inside the cars and she can't help but feel nervous. Jaemin is nowhere to be found and that only increase the nervousness inside her.

After the revelation Jaemin told her, she can't look at Renjun the same anymore. Renjun don't know what's happening and she knew he will found out soon. Renjun is a smart man, he's not dumb who will play along.

Renjun, on the other hand, felt a pair of eyes staring at him. Hajin darted her gaze away as Renjun face her. Her grip on the hem of her shirt tightening as loud footsteps approach her. "What the hell do you want?" Renjun claims. "Huh? Nothing" She force a smile. "You're as weird as your boyfriend, fucker"

"Hajin, right?" Mr. Huang approach her. "Yes, sir. It's been a while" She bows. "It is indeed. You were tiny when I last saw you." Mr. Huang chuckles. "Uncle, you're back" Hajin was surprise when Jaemin greet his uncle warmly, adding a hug as greeting. As far as she know, Jaemin has bad relationship with the Huang. "Uncle, this is my girlfriend, Hajin" Jaemin landed a hand on her waist. "I see you found a pretty yet reliable woman, Jaemin"

"Jaemin" Hajin calls, the man's hand never left her back. It's been around 10 minutes since they return to Jaemin's room and since then, Jaemin did not let go of her. "Are you close to Mr. Huang?" She fix her posture from straddling the man's lap, her hand on his shoulder. "I am. He don't actually know his wife's mess. He's my alas if I want to stop all this"

"Are you sure he will help us...me?"

"He will. All I need to do is explain everything to him, he will understand. He always understands." Jaemin stares at her eyes. "Renjun...he's not part of this so, can't you just fix your relationship with him so we could help each other?" She plays with the man's hair softly. "I can't. He will listen to his Mom, he always does."

"Actually, I'm scared." She admits, her shaky eyes meeting the man's dark yet soft orbs. "Don't be. I...I'll make sure to not let any of the elders plan to happen. You're mine" Jaemin protectively circle his arm around her. "You won't let me go, right?" She embrace the man, her arm tightly wrap around Jaemin as she rest her chin on the man's shoulder. "I won't.."

"You have my assurance. I won't give up on you, Hajin"
