Mr. Min stood beside the window in his office, gazing at the picturesque cityscape. His wide smile reflected the triumph of his victory over Chaeyoung and her company. A faint knock on the door broke his reverie, and he turned to see his assistant standing there, visibly shaken and casting him a fearful look.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Min furrowed his brow in concern.

"Y-you have a guest" The assistant stammered nervously.

"Who is it?" he asked again as he took a few steps towards the assistant.

Mr. Min's curiosity piqued, and he took a few steps closer to the assistant, wondering who could be seeking him out and that could make the assistant feel that scared. As he waited for an answer, the office door creaked open further, and a tall figure clad in a mask stepped inside.

"It's me" announced the tall figure, causing Mr. Min's frown to deepen.

The man removed his mask and cap, revealing an evil smirk that caused Mr. Min to falter where he stood. Once Mr. Min's trusted ally, he had now become his greatest enemy.

"Wi Hajoon!?" Mr. Min gasped.

"It is indeed" Hajoon walked confidently towards his ex-boss "you found no one to harass after you thought I died so you placed your grudge on Chaeyoung?"

"Ho-how did you know?" Mr. Min stood speechless.

"You'll know in time" Hajoon smiled victoriously "the police will explain it to you"

"Wh-what?"

"Mr. Min you are under arrest for monopoly and fraud" a police officer suddenly emerged through the entrance "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say could be used against you in the court of law" a bunch of other officers barged in.

"Is it over? Is it really over?" Chaeyoung asked Hajoon through the phone.

"Yes, he's been arrested" Hajoon reassured "but we still have a long way to go. You know how capable he is, we should expect anything"

"Let's hope for the best" Chaeyoung heaved a deep sigh "I can't thank you enough Hajoon-shi. You've done so much for me"

"Don't worry about it. I've suffered a lot from him too" Hajoon said "anyway, what did you do with Jihyo?"

"I made her confess everything. I bet she's arrested by now" Chaeyoung said bitterly.

"I'm sorry you had to do that. I mean, you're still recovering"

"I'm fine, as long as everything is going well, I'll be fine" Chaeyoung reassured him.
The call ended and Chaeyoung felt grateful to have such a support team around her. Her gratitude grew bigger when she looked toward the main door of the house and saw Suga walking in with a wide smile.

"I was at the police station both my father and Jihyo are arrested" Suga said

"That's a relief" Chaeyoung held her chest "you must be feeling terrible. It's your father you put behind bars"

"He's my father but he sinned. He needs to be punished"

"Thank you for sticking around me" Chaeyoung threw herself in his arms.

"Stop saying nonsense" he tapped her back, reassuring her he'd never leave her side.

"I hope everything goes well, I'm really tired of all of this" Chaeyoung rested her head on his chest.

"Don't worry everything will be fine" Suga reassured "but you might need to testify in Jihyo's case so be prepared for that"

"I know" Chaeyoung pouted "that girl drove me crazy when I talked to her. She kept saying that you both were together"

"How many times should I tell you that we were not" Suga chuckled "We were good friends and when she proposed to me, so I had to distance myself"

"I hope she doesn't say anything stupid during the investigation" Chaeyoung said "I am already disappointed enough by her betrayal"

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone bother you" Suga hugged her tight.
