Hajin gasp at the sudden force she met once she's out of Jaemin's room. Her back was welcome by the hard rock wall behind her and is cage by some beast in front of her. A raging beast. "Renjun" She calls, her hand finding the man's shirt as she grip on it. "You know it, and you pretend you don't"

"Marry me"

"What?" She let out, surprise, her grip loosening. "Do you know what my Mom would always tell me? She made me so I would follow whatever she wants, so I'm living up to it. Accept the marriage and settle in with me" Renjun states, his dark gaze lingering over hers. "Renjun, I can't" She shakes her head. "I don't want to leave Jaemin"

"Even for my future, Jaemin gets what I own"

"What are you saying?" She mumbles. "You never own anything you have now! If Jaemin was good enough to give you what you want well I'm not! Whatever is in your hands right now is in your hands because of Jaemin!" She burst. "The friend, the fake achievement and to where you are right now" She adds. "If it isn't because of Jaemin.."

"No one will recognize you for who you are"

"Keep muttering nonsense and tomorrow, you're my wife already. The elders are just one call away. One approval coming from me and everyone will move. Everyone will be affected, even your great boyfriend. You don't get to say anything here, Lee Hajin." Renjun glares at her, showing her who's the boss.

"You have no power against me, if Jaemin has nothing, what about you?"

...

"She will accept the marriage" Hajin's breath hitch facing Jaemin who did not spare her a glance. "What?" Mrs. Huang let out. "I'm doing as you want me to, you're questioning my decision?" Jaemin raise a brow.

Earlier that day, Jaemin enters his office only to see an unfamiliar visitor. He walk over to his desk grabbing the attention of his friend, Jeno, and the unfamiliar visitor. "Who are you?" He frowns. It's clear that the man is older than him, he can tell. His instincts can tell. "He's Doyoung"

"Doyoung? What brings you here?"

"I heard from Jeno you need a helping hand. Are you ready to hear me out?" Doyoung approach his table. "I am, what would you like to drink?" He press a button to call his secretary. "Ms. Gong, please come in here" He said before turning to the two. "An ice tea would be good, how about you?" Jeno turn to the older. "Anything other than water"

"The plan will be divided into 3 phase" Doyoung laid a huge paper on the table. "How long will it last? Look, don't mind the payment, I will pay you. Advance, right now or twice your price, I'm fine" He replied, sipping his drink. "I'm not also rushing you to pay me but work is work. This is my job and the money I earn is what's helping me to live. Anyway, maybe I should introduce myself why I am so determined to help you"

"Sure, tell me"

"Huang Meizen, your Auntie. She's actually been charge for attempted murder many times already but the owner of Godai, your Grandpa, has backed her up. However, the CEO of Yunha, I'm pretty sure you know them, right?" Jaemin nods as answer. He knows Yunha. It's as big as Godai, maybe even bigger than Godai. "Mr. Nakamoto hired me to help him get rid of Huang Meizen. Unfortunately, there's some history behind them and Mr. Nakamoto is determine to get rid of Huang"

"I am too, determined to get rid of my Auntie so, shall we settle into the plan?"

"Are you ready? There might be a possibility of blood flooding" Jeno butt in. "Blood?" He stares at Doyoung. "Actually, high possibility that blood will be present the whole plan. Maybe, from Lee Hajin herself" Doyoung admits. "Is there any other way to do this while preventing the flooding of blood?"

"No, there's none"

Jaemin sighs. He's not even worried if it's his own blood, he's worried about Hajin. It was already an eyesore thinking about it but witnessing it, he knew he won't be able to take it. He might lost control once he see it, he might do something he did not imagine him doing. He's sure, he will dirty his hand and won't hesitate to risk everything. He can take any beating, not just Hajin.

"Okay, explain everything to me" He push away his paranoia thoughts. He's sure he'll eventually come up with a plan to prevent any Hazard against Lee Hajin.

"Phase One: Agreement with the elders plan. I heard from Jeno they want Huang Renjun and Lee Hajin to marry each other. Which, I think, you cousins are against. Maybe, except Renjun himself"

"Phase Two: They are wedded and you're out of the picture. Although Hajin would somehow live in a household where everyone will watch her. Listen up, you're out of the picture. While Hajin does anything she can do, you, behind your family, will get all your inherit secretly."

"With the money you have, you can obtain Nakamoto into joining forces with you. These days, you can't do anything without payment, I'm pretty sure you know that. Nakamoto is a very big price, although it is expensive as hell, if you obtain him, so is the victory"

"Phase Three: the longest phase. Movement. You're young, we have to dirty your hand, I'm sure you're ready for that, right? You're barely 25, I'm sure this will be a big change for you. If you're really determined to fight for what you own, you will do this."

"Looking at it, you look so determine, so is this friend of yours who beg me to help you. Do you even know how to hold a gun?"

"Why the fuck will I hold a gun?!" He gasp, surprise. "Excuse me, Jaemin, did you not hear the part where Huang Meizen ended someone's existence? How did she do it? Do you know how? Yes, weapon" Jeno answers for Doyoung. "Why are you not surprise? Are you doing something behind me?"

"It's not about me, Jaemin" Jeno shrug chugging his drink. Jaemin rolls his eyes turning back to the older. "So, will you be taking the risk?" Doyoung question. "Yes, I will"

"Jaemin, what are you saying? Don't joke around" Hajin grip on the man's sleeve. Jaemin did not spare her a glance, his orbs gazing through the elders eyes. "What the hell is happening to you? Suddenly letting her go so you'll be the hero?" Renjun butt in.

"I am the hero from the start, you stupid son of a bitch"

"Here. Have her, do whatever you want" Jaemin harshly push her away. "What are you doing?" She softly speak out. Jaemin stiffened at the sound of the woman's voice. The last thing he wanted to do is drop the act and let the woman in danger. He clears his throat, turning his heels.

"I'll be waiting for my invitation"

Lee Hajin was the only woman that could do him like this. He never would have thought the time will come that he will sacrifice a lot and will fight for something he owns. He used to just bear whatever is happening around him. But this time, it seems like he can't bear the treatment anymore. He knew he has to fight now.

The years of mistreatment, he wanted to end it. He wanted to be the one to smile once everything is done. He want to win. No, he has to win. He will make sure he wins this time. He won't be able to take another defeat. Not again. Not anymore.

"How could you give up on her like that?" Jaemin frowns turning around only to see his Uncle Huang, a cigarette on his fingers. "None of your business" He lean on the railing, staring at the huge property own by the Na below. "I heard from Doyoung"

"How did you about that man?" He raise a brow, staring. "Maybe because I own him? Kim Doyoung is my man, come on. I made sure you will meet him and he will help you. The rest of the act is on your hands, Jaemin"

"My full support is in you, Na Jaemin. Good luck"

Jaemin was left alone again. His eyes only close hearing another cry from Hajin. It's clear to him what's happening on the first floor. They're leaving already. For the wedding. And Hajin is fighting back. The next supposed to be calm talk were followed by shout and scream. All coming from Lee Hajin.

Although it was unclear to him what she was saying, his heart could only ache. His adams apple moving up and down as he clench his chest. His heart aching. His insides were hurting. He successfully did the first phase and he wasn't aware it's supposed to be this painful. I'll get you back, Hajin.

When that time comes, I hope you're still mine
