**Lee Kyujin's private funeral**

There was funeral service for Lee Kyu Jin with strict privacy. 

There were Joo Dan Tae's gang members guarding at the front door. 

Lee Kyu Jin's wife Go Sang Ah and his son Lee Min hyeok were crying. 

Joo Dan Tae, Cheon Seo Jin, Chang Han Seok, Chang Han Seo, Joo Seok Kyung, and Ha Eun Byeol were also at the funeral. 

There were lots of people from the Hera Palace attending the funeral. 

Choi Myung Hee walked in the building and walked towards Joo Dan Tae and Cheon Seo Jin.

Dan Tae-"Any luck locating Vincenzo??"

Myung Hee-"Not yet. I had no idea it was going to be this difficult to locate him. He must be hiding very deep somewhere. 

Seo Jin-"(To Myung Hee) You must locate him no matter what so we can go get rid of him. Time is running out or else he's going to come after us."

Myung Hee-"(To Seo Jin) I know. I know. You don't need to get on my shoulder and trying to tell me what to do. I'm already stressed enough trying to locate him."

Seo Jin-"(To Myung Hee) Excuse me?"

Dan Tae-"(To Seo Jin and Myung Hee) Hey!! We are at funeral. Please cut it out."

Seo Jin and Myung Hee were looking at each other with angry eyes and wanted to fight but they stepped back because they were at Kyu Jin's funeral and had mission to accomplish which was to find Vincenzo and get rid of him.

After the funeral service, cremation of Kyu Jin's body was done and he was buried. 

Dan Tae walked towards Min hyeok and Sang Ah and bowed. 

Dan Tae-"I'm very sorry for what happened to Mr. Lee Kyu Jin. I should stopped him when he tried to kill Vincenzo but everything happened way too fast."

Sang Ah-"(crying) It's not your fault. Joo Dan Tae sshi. My husband always talked about getting rid of Vincenzo with you. I always warned him to be careful but he never listened."

Min hyeok-"(walks up to Dan Tae) Ajusshi. I heard about your plan of getting rid of Vincenzo. Please let me join you."

Sang Ah-"(yelling) Min hyeok ah!! Are you crazy?? No. Never."

Min hyeok-"Umma. I'm going to get rid of that Italian mafia who killed appa. I'm his son. It's my duty for his revenge."

Sang Ah-"(crying) Min hyeok ah!! Please. No."

Min hyeok-"I've been hearing word coward all my life from others. This is the chance for me to be the brave man and proud son for appa."

Dan Tae-"(Whispering) Min hyeok ah. We can talk about this later. But for now, please go comfort your umma. She needs you the most right now. I'll text you later."

Min hyeok-"Yes. Ajusshi."

Min hyeok walked towards his mom and comforted her. 

**Later in the evening**

Cheon Seo Jin was getting changed in the room and Joo Dan Tae came in. 

Dan Tae-"Come to the living room. Let's have some whiskey since you had long day."

Seo Jin-"Before that I have to show you something."

Dan Tae-"What is it??"

Seo Jin opened the drawer and handed a gun to Dan Tae and she also hold a gun. 

Seo Jin-"There were clients of mine from Russia who came to my concerts and I secretly bought those guns from them. I used to go to fire ranges lots of time with my father."

Dan Tae-"(Holding and looking at the gun) This is nice."

Seo Jin-"(Holding the gun) If we want to kill Vincenzo Casano aka Lee Joo Hyun. Don't you think we need to use good quality??"

Dan Tae-"(Looking at Seo Jin with smile) That is my wife. (kisses Seo Jin)"

Seo Jin-"After we get rid of Vincenzo, we should go on a vacation to a nice place."

Dan Tae-"(Smiles) Sounds like a plan."

Dan Tae's phone was ringing.

Dan Tae-"One second. Babe. It's Choi Myung Hee."

Seo Jin-"Pick up."

Dan Tae-"Hello? Yeah. Really? Ok. Got it. Thanks. You also prepare yourself."

Dan Tae hung up the phone.

Seo Jin-"What is it?"

Dan Tae-"It seems like we located where Vincenzo is at. We could get things done lot faster than we think. I should gather up my boys tomorrow."

Seo Jin-"Let's have some whiskey tonight and prepare for the war tomorrow."

Dan Tae-"Fucking Vincenzo Cassano. I'll make sure he pays his price for killing secretary Cho and Lee Kyu Jin."

Seo Jin-"You're not even fighting alone. Chang Han Seo and his younger brother got your back."

Dan Tae-"And you also got my back. My beautiful wife."

Seo Jin-"(Smiles and kisses Dan Tae)

**Outside near the Hera Palace**

Chang Han Seo was in a car and waiting for Eun Byeol.

Eun Byeol came down. 

Han Seo-"Eun Byeol sshi!!"

Eun Byeol ran towards Han Seo's car and got in. 

Eun Byeol-"I texted my mom that I'm going to a convenient store and snuck out."

Han Seo-"You had long day. Let's go for driving."

Han Seo drove Eun Byeol to a park located near Han river and the night view of Seoul was very beautiful. 

They both sat on the bench. 

Eun Byeol-"Look at the night view. Isn't it beautiful??"

Han Seo-"It is. When I had rough day, I drove myself here at night."

Eun Byeol-"Han Seo sshi. I wanted to ask you something."

Han Seo-"Yes. Eun Byeol sshi."

Eun Byeol-"That mission you are planning with my mom and Dan Tae ajusshi. Getting rid of that Italian mafia guy who almost killed all of us. Is there anything you can do to not to get involved? Because I'm aware it's very dangerous."

Han Seo-"(Looking at Eun Byeol) Eun Byeol sshi."

Eun Byeol-"Can we just get into your car and run away somewhere? I'm just scared of everything. My umma is so different ever since that Joo Dan Tae guy came into her life."

Han Seo-"(Grabs Eun Byeol) Eun Byeol sshi. Listen to me."

Eun Byeol-"........."

Han Seo-"Don't you remember what that Vicenzo guy did?? He killed secretary Cho and Lee Kyu Jin ajusshi without any hesitation. He could have killed all of us that night. He is very scary guy. If we don't do anything here, he'll come after us and kill us all. Don't you remember what he said?" 

Eun Byeol-"Why.....why do we have to be in this situation?"

Han Seo-"It's because the we are the people with power and money. You're the daughter of rich and powerful woman. People like us will always have enemies. You have to wake up and learn how to stay strong with me."

Eun Byeol-"(nods her head) Ok. I got it. Han Seo sshi."

Han Seo-"(Looks at his watch) It's getting late. We should get going."

Eun Byeol-"Oh my god. My mom called me so many times already. Let's go."
