"I'm ready to release the articles about you two anytime. Think about it Soojin."

"This is the address of the restaurant. Join us for dinner later." Soojin gave the small paper to Minnie. "Bring my oldie sister of course. That oldie hates to be left behind." Minnie chuckles as she keeps the paper inside her pocket.

Soojin left the two so she can arrange her things. She's going to follow what her sister advised her, it's better to not go back for the mean time. Even if the situation is definitely disadvantageous for her grandfather she can sense that there's something not right.

Her grandfather is purposely taking away the power she have.

"How's it going there?" Soojin asks as she cancels the flight she booked earlier. ["The building is still surrounded by reporters but we're handling them. We're still getting calls. And there are about two investors who pulled out of our company just now because of the on going issue. Will you be needing some assistance Ms. Seo?"] Minhee sounded rush as if the girl has been running around doing anything that she can do to help.

"I won't be needing one, please tell Leander to give protection to every employee of my company. I want all of you to be safe, I'll be back soon enough." Soojin instructed, this won't pass just like the last time.

She's fighting a huge crowd.

["Will do Ms. Seo, and your father wants to talk to you."] Minhee handed the phone to Soojin's father who actually came to check Soojin's company. If he needs to go against his own father then he will for the sake of keeping her daughters safe.

["Are you okay there?"] Soojin softly smiles hearing the first question of her father. "I am, Miyeon unnie is here to take care of me. I'm sorry if I'm bringing trouble to the family again." Soojin apologized, she knows that their name and reputation is at steak.

And even if it's not entirely her fault why their name is at fault right now, she still feel responsible of it.

["Just stay safe, I'm sending people there to guard both of you. I'll talk to your grandfather after this."]

As the sun finally sets, the streets were filled with people and the road was filled with vehicles most probably trying to catch back home for dinner with their family.

"Thank you for taking care of me today, let's all have a good rest." even with hoarse voice, Shuhua was bubbly saying those words earning smiles from the staff. "The head photographer invited us for dinner." Muxi handed Shuhua a jacket, not wanting the younger to catch a cold.

"I can't come, Soojin will be flying back to Seoul tonight and we're having dinner before she go back." Shuhua was aware that Soojin booked a flight earlier this morning but other than that she doesn't know anything.

Muxi nodded of course at the end of the day she will still let Shuhua have her way, "But I will pick you up once you two are finished, so message me." Shuhua smiled giving her manager a tight hug. "You're the best manager." Muxi scoffs as she hugs the latter back.

Apparently Minnie and Miyeon arrived earlier than Soojin.

The two were checking the menu in advance so they won't have any trouble later. "Do you prefer seafood or meat?" Minnie asks as she looks over at Miyeon's menu, making their faces close to each other.

Miyeon quickly backed away, distancing herself from the Thai. "I'll go for some meat tonight." Minnie wasn't dense enough to notice how Miyeon was practically doing her best to avoid her without actually ignoring her presence.

"You two are here?" Shuhua's voice caught their attention, putting down the menu. Minnie could smile as she doesn't really know how to answer it. "We are here for business matters." Shuhua looks at the two suspiciously.

Minnie stood up to pull a chair for Shuhua, being the gentlewoman that she is. Miyeon subconsciously rolled her eyes that caught Shuhua's vision. She looks at Minnie then to Miyeon.

"Did you two fight?" Shuhua asks Minnie, there wasn't any awkwardness between her and Minnie. It was still the same between them. "No." Minnie answered as she goes back to her seat once Shuhua was seated.

The three was surrounded by silence, no one dared to start a conversation. Even if Shuhua wanted to, she feels like she's going to dig her grave up for some reasons. She can feel the tension between Minnie and Miyeon and she doesn't know it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Soojin looks at herself at the mirror, making sure she looks good before seeing Shuhua.

Miyeon already texted her that they are all there and are only waiting for her to arrive. Spraying some mist all over her body, Soojin finally decided to go out of her hotel room.

The restaurant wasn't that far from the hotel she's staying at, it was just a five minute walk away.

From outside, she can see the three sitting at the table she reserved which was at the back. From the huge window panel, she can see Shuhua's flawless beauty.

Shuhua's presence never failed to make her smile and it's just crazy how she can give her time and effort like this.

Before she can even enter the restaurant, her phone rang so she decided to answer the call first.

["Will you be having dinner with your girlfriend?"] Soojin frowned as she checks the caller I.D, she just realized that it was an unknown number. But from the voice of the person she knows that it's her grandfather. "What do you want?" Soojin calmly asks.

["I want you to go back to Seoul right now. Do as I say while I'm still being nice to you my granddaughter."] Soojin scoffs at the word nice. "You were never nice to me. You're ruining your own name and what do you get from me? Nothing. So listen carefully to me, I won't be giving a fuck about whatever you say." Soojin was close to ending the call but she didn't have the strength to do so hearing what her grandfather said over the phone.

["Are you aware that Shuhua's contract prohibits her from making any kind of close relationship to anyone? I mean I know you're not stupid enough not to know that she's basically prohibited from dating. Yet you're here taking your little sweet time. Are you even aware about the repercussions Shuhua will face once the people know about you two? Let's say you might be okay with it but are you sure Shuhua is okay with it? You have nothing to lose but she's going to lose everything, she's going to lose the dream she worked so hard to reach."] Soojin clenched her jaw, feeling conflicted.

It was true that even after all this, she won't lose anything because at the end of the day she's still part of the Cho family who's going to catch her.

But even if Shuhua is from a wealthy family once her career ended, it'll be hard to get it back.

The people watching her every move will make it hard for her to come back. Soojin doesn't want to let Shuhua suffer such pain.

"I'm ready to release the articles about you two anytime. Think about it Soojin."
