"It has been." Jae stared at the wooden bar table as he rolled the ball of ice in his glass. He looked over at Sang-woo, "Should we catch up in private?"
Sang-woo rose up from his seat, following after Jae as he took the bottle of liquor. "Shall we?"
"Where—"
"Can you drive?"
Sang-woo looked at the liquor bottle in Jae's hand and agreed with a nod. "Where?"
"I'll give you directions on the way." Sang-woo caught Jae glaring at the nosy Bartender. It seemed he didn't want his workers knowing where he was going or where it was.
In the control room, the team watched as Sang-woo got up and followed Jae from the bar area out the exit. Min-joo looked down at the dropped journal on the floor. The cover read, "Jae." She didn't quite understand yet what was happening to Geon-woo, but she received the evidence she didn't want. Geon-woo...or this Jae person was the one she just read about. She looked over at Tae-pyung who had to take a seat from the shock. He looked over at Moo-won, rubbing his forehead.
Min-joo grabbed her key fob and purse, heading for the exit. Moo-won stopped her, holding her back. She yelled at him, "Let me go! Geon-woo...is with a-- He's with—"
"That's not Geon-woo."
Min-joo couldn't get another word out. She questioned him as her face contorted to the information Moo-won was trying to feed her. "It's Jae. It's one of Geon-woo's alters--" She wanted to reject everything she was hearing. "How? How is this possible?" Min-joo pulled herself out of her Moo-won's hands. She waited for an answer crossing her arms. "Why didn't you tell us?"
He looked at her and the rest of the team. Moo-won had never thought about the aftermath or if it was even ethical for Geon-woo to work given his disorder. He'd never considered what the team when they found out. Surely the surprise of it would wear off as it did for him when he first discovered the journals Tae-in left Geon-woo and intercepted them.
"It's never been a problem. Has it?" He looked around the room. No one argued with him. Geon-woo never gave any indication he had a disorder. His alters never interfered, at least to his knowledge, with his job. Yet, he didn't consider Geon-woo or his alters to be a problem. "They-his alters are an asset we need. Even Sang-woo...we need Geon-woo to let his alters help us and stay connected to Sang-woo. I fear our government along with the American military has been profiting off of trafficking, and if we're going to put a stop to any of it, we don't go after the customers or try to salvage their supply—we need to disrupt their network and operations completely. We need to infiltrate it. We need to know how they operate on the inside and that'll come from what former trafficked kids have done...or someone still connected to traffickers."
Min-joo immediately knew what that meant. Geon-woo would need to yield to alters that could assist in their case like some informant, and by default, she would need to let their relationship take a backseat to them. Deep down inside her biggest worry was that he would not return to her, and she would lose him to them.
"How can we make sure we aren't going to damage Geon-woo? You're sure he'll return to us? You're certain he'll still be capable of being part of our team after all this?"
Moo-won couldn't answer that question. It was the biggest reason he failed for many years to approach Geon-woo or his alters. He feared the same, but he was also optimistic. "Let's have a bit more faith in Geon-woo? He's been present all these years and seems to have been chosen by his alters to remain in control. I don't think that's going to change."
