S02E10 : Il nemico del mio nemico è mio amico

"Sarangheyo, Chang Ho ya,"

Park Chang Ho opened his eyes slowly. He was sure that he'd just heard his wife voice. he blinked his eyes to adjust with the light. After a while he finally could see that he was at a medical ward. He tried to remember what happened before. Right, a shooting incident. He looked around trying to find his wife, Go Mi Ho. She had to be here with him. Her voice was so real and close before he opened his eyes. Then he saw silhouette of a woman sit at the sofa in front of his bed. Sofa's setting which is in front of the window made him couldn't see the figure clearly.

Suddenly the woman moved and revealed her face. Park Chang Ho startled to find that the woman was Hong Cha Young not Go Mi Ho. He felt so disappointed. He smiled bitterly shaking his head realizing that it was impossible for his wife being here. His Mi Ho was death year ago. Hong Cha Young stirred her body slowly signing she will awake soon. Park Chang Ho pretended to sleep right away.

Hong Cha Young awoke and straightened up her body at the chair beside Chang Ho's bed. Her mind wandered to shooting incident at the cafe this afternoon. Vincenzo arrived soon after Park Chang Ho was shot. Anger and worry were visible to his face. They immediately brought him to Port View Guest House. Since Jang Han Seo was nowhere to befound, Hong Cha Young asked one of the waiter to call their doctor. When he arrived, he took out the bullet and gave some medicine to Park Chang Ho. Vincenzo decided to bring Park Chang Ho to Pagliuzza for his recovery. And now here they were in one of Pagliuzza's medical ward.

"How is he?" asked Vincenzo when he entered the room.

He was just back from his meeting regarding the shooting incident.

"Still sleeping. How was the meeting? Do you know who did this?"

"Giordano. It turned out Giordano and Mr. delphi made some agreement so that some of Giordano's men were under his command,"

"But how did they know that we are at Malta today?"

"My made man will find it out," vincenzo walked closer to Hong Cha Young and hug her, "Everything is fine. I'll take care of it. Geogjonghajima," (don't worry)

She didn't know since when his embrace became her safe place. If she thought about it, maybe it happened since their first hug at the tunnel. When she saw him walked to her safe and sound, she couldn't refrain herself to run and embrace him. And when that happened, she felt whole, relieve, and peaceful. Now his embrace dispelled her worries away. How ironic that you felt so safe in the embrace of a mafia don, someone known for his cruelty and viciousness.

"Now I want you to go back to your room, clean youself and have some rest. I will stay here," said Vincenzo.

"Aniya. I want to stay until Chang Ho awake," said Cha Young while loosening herself from his embrace.

"No objection Cha Young-a! You need to rest. Remember you have just recovered from gunshot. Beside he will be fine, you don't need to worry about him," said Vincenzo clearly.

"Vin, he was shot to protect me. If he didn't do that, I would be the one laying there or even worse. This is the least I can do to repay him,"

Suddenly Vincenzo pulled her back to his embrace and hold her tight. He couldn't, -no, the right term was he didn't want to imagine what would happen if Park Chang Ho didn't do that sacrifice. He felt so stupid to leave Hong Cha Young that afternoon. If anything happened to Cha Young, he would never forgive himself.

"I know Cha Young-a. And believe me, I really thank him for that. But I am also worried about you. Please, listen to me cara mia,"

Those last words brought warmed feeling to her heart. She could feel his sincerity and worries through his hug. She knew that this incident gave him more burden and pressure too. So she decided to obey him hoping it would relieving him a bit. She nodded and took her belonging. Vincenzo led her to the door and she gave him a peck on the lips before walking to her room.
