Chapter 30 || Deal

"What do you mean by a deal, Y/n? Have you gone mad!" Y/n's father was more shocked than outraged.

Y/n looked at her father and then at Yoon Jiwoo determinedly. "All you need is information. I will continue to do the operation you assigned to me."

Jiwoo looked at her levelly. "But in return, you are asking for a plea deal for Kim Tae-hyung. You are asking the government to let a dangerous criminal go."

Y/n held the woman's gaze steadily. "I'm not asking you to let him go. All I'm asking is to reduce his sentence in return for information that will implicate other major players. The information you would have never gained without my help... or his."

Y/n's father shook his head. "Tae-hyung is not going to forgive you once he finds out you were the one to implicate him. He's going to kill you, Y/n! Hunt you down and kill you like an animal! Have you gone mad seeking mercy for that devil?"

Y/n knew her father's fear was warranted, especially when the devil's torture and atrocities for those who betrayed him were known by many.

"He won't hurt me," she said calmly. She tried not to betray the faint trembling of her hands.

"You are a fool! I don't know how he managed to brainwash you into thinking he is harmless, but you are making a huge mistake!"

Her father tried to convince her. He alternately begged and scared her, but she remained firm in her decision.

She was sick of having her heart and mind being constantly at war. She was still quite shocked at how her feelings towards the devil had changed so quickly, especially when she had hated him and was frightened of him until recently.

The devil was still flawed. She would continue to spy on him to get the information that would implicate him. It was the right thing to do, even if she had to betray the man she was falling in love with.

But despite that, she couldn't imagine him harmed in any way. It would hurt her too. So she wanted to do everything in her power to protect the man she deeply cared for.

Yoon Jiwoo watched her quietly. And when the policewoman finally spoke, Y/n felt relieved.

"Fine. You got yourself a deal, Y/n. In exchange for the information you pass to us, we will ensure Kim Tae-hyung's safety and reduce his prison sentence."
