The next day, the news of Mr. Han's death reached us. The media reported that he had been cut into pieces using a chainsaw and sent to Jang Hanseok's office. They also reported that they couldn't find any suspects. 

As we sat triumphantly at Jjipuragi after hearing this news, Vincenzo said, "Now, we'll have to orchestrate the death of Choi Myunghee." I said, pouting slightly, "Yah, can't we wait for a bit? We just killed Mr. Han yesterday. Let's rest." Vincenzo agreed and said, "Fine. We'll start planning after an hour or so. I'm going to sleep, then." Much to my surprise, Vincenzo laid his head on my shoulder and closed his eyes.

Hanseo gasped, delighted at this. I said, surprised, "What are you doing?!". Vincenzo said, "Sleeping. It's rude to disturb people while they're sleeping, Lee Jiyoung." True to his word, Vincenzo was fast asleep in minutes. Hanseo whispered gleefully, "What have I just seen?! Well, I definitely wasn't expecting that to happen, Jiyu noona." 

I asked, "Hanseo-ah, I've been meaning to ask. After we kill Jang Hanseok, who'll take over Babel Group?". Hanseo said, "I will. And I'm going to make sure Babel tuns to a more just and fair path. And I'll order the demolition of Babel Pharmaceuticals immediately." 

I nodded and said, "I know that you're sad about me leaving. But I'll visit every summer, hopefully." Hanseo said, distressed, "Hopefully? Noona, do you really have to go? You could stay.... I asked Chayoung noona as well! She wants you to stay too. She said that if you stay, you can have her desk and that she'll get another one." I said sadly, "I can't. I made a promise and I've kept it. Now, it's time for me to go. I'm sorry. But nothing can convince me to stay. Korea is not my home." 

Hanseo stopped protesting, defeated. For the next hour, we exchanged small talk. As we talked about our favorite K-pop groups, Vincenzo woke up.

 Vincenzo said, "We'll start planning soon. Does anyone have any ideas?". Hanseo said, "No. But doesn't Choi Myunghee like zumba music?". I said, "I have an idea." 

As I explained my idea, Vincenzo started to plan out how to kidnap Choi Myunghee.
