"won, can i personally buy daehan's suit for his birthday tomorrow?"

myung said as she volunteered doing her husband's tie. wonwoo gave her a loving smile all of a sudden making her quirked her eyebrows at him.

"w-why are you smiling?"

"it's you know.. now i don't want to go to work. can i just take a leave?"

"what?! and here i'm doing your tie for nothing?"

won chuckled as he held unto her waist and brought her closer. he gave a peck on her lips that myung blushed. she couldn't still get used to his love language really.

"y-you'll going to be late..."

"i can go late everyday if i have to take a vitamin like this in the morning."

myung punched him in the gut as he laughed.

"about the thing you asked a while ago, you may do as you please. daehan will surely like it."

"thank you."

myung smiled and stole a kiss on his lips as she quickly went out of the room. wonwoo was taken aback with just what happened in a blink of an eye. surely, his wife knew how to punish him because of his playfulness. she always win no matter what anyway.

"mom, can we go buy ice cream?"

daehan rubbed his eyes as he asked myung who just got out of the teacher's office. the two are ready to go home and just waiting for wonwoo to pick them up.

"alright, let's go."

minutes later, daehan's eyes turned into crescent moon shapes, smiling widely while licking the ice cream in a cone that they bought in a nearby convenience store.

"you like it that much?" myung chuckled.

the little boy just nodded.

as they passed by an alley going back to school, the two halted their steps when three men blocked their path.

myung hid daehan behind her back as she sensed some danger coming. their creepy auras are surrounding them. they got sturdy builts that made myung hesitate a second. but there's no time for her to falter. she didn't get a black belt in taekwondo just to show off.

"what do you want?"

she toughened out her voice though her heart beat is betraying her.

"tch. get the kid." the man ordered.

the two moved but soon stopped as myung activated her stance. she cracked her neck on the side while she stretched out her hands.

"it's been a long time since i've done this. might as well awakened my muscles." she smirked.

"i see you're a tough one. give what she deserve!" the man commanded.

"stay back daehan ah.." she told the kid, moving him away from them.

one of the man launched a punch at her but she dodged it swiftly. aiming his head, she kicked him hard that the man passed out on the ground.

"you son of a b-!"

the other man grabbed her tightly, yet she brought up a full force on her upper body as she pushed the man on the ground. just as he fell on his back, myung took this chance to punch him mercilessly.

and that left their leader who seems to be the only one standing. the man let out a laugh and brought out a knife. she was catching her breath for a moment after taking down those two. myung gritted her teeth in anger. it was dark in the alley which puts her at a disadvantage.

the man was about to attack her when he suddenly stopped.

"try to make a move and i'll put a hole at the back of your head."

another man was behind him, pointing a gun at his head. he raised his hand slowly and drop the knife defeatedly.

"who ordered you to do this?!"

"we're s-sorry. we're just p-paid to do this. we don't know."

the man cowered in fear and beg for his life.

"go. before i lose myself and kill you."

the two men carried the other one who passed out and fled the scene.

"wonwoo?"

myung and daehan came closer and confirmed it with their own eyes.

"God. it's really you."

the two hugged him and wonwoo calmed down.

"i'm sorry. i'm late."

"no. it's not your fault." myung replied.

daehan started sobbing. wonwoo seethed in anger again recalling what had happened earlier as he carried daehan in his arms. he patted his back gently, calming the kid.

"i'm sorry too. i should have avoided them instead. i should have thought of daehan before-"

"no. you've done the right thing hon." wonwoo kissed his wife's forehead. "i know you're capable. but i also can't forgive myself if something bad happens to you."

the ride home was quiet. wonwoo decided not to ask questions and let the two rest for a while. when they arrived, wonwoo and myung put daehan to sleep in their room.

"thank you, hon."

myung hugged wonwoo from behind while he was standing and taking off his watch. at first, she was really scared when he came at the scene earlier. she never saw that side of him. his eyes really reflected with intent to kill. not to mention he has a gun? is that the kind of wonwoo in the past that they've said? that thought came acrossed her mind.

wonwoo turned around and embraced her in his arms.

"i should be the one thanking you hon. for keeping daehan safe."

he looked at her and saw a glint of fear in her eyes. he cupped her cheeks, assuring her that he'll never leave her side.

"tell me everything that happened tomorrow. okay?"

myung nodded.

"aaaaaaargh!!!!"

"what a bunch of useless pigs!!!"

"a simple order and they couldn't do it right?!"

hana boiled in anger as the news reached her. her plan got ruined. and by what she heard, a woman knocked the guys. who came to her mind? it's no other than myung... based on their description. the woman she despises the most.

"that woman really pissed me off! uuugh!"

"i'll crushed her! i'll crushed her into pieces!"

"if they can't do it, then i'll do it with my own hands. just you wait..."
