It was awful. There was a stitched up scabbed line going from my hairline to the corner of my mouth. It was disgusting.

I froze and stared at the injury for what felt like a century before Geonwoo pulled me out of the bathroom and looked into my eyes.

"Don't let it get to you, okay? I went through the same thing. I didn't let it stop me from getting back at Myeong-gil, you know." Geonwoo said, looking into my eyes with full sincerity.

I looked at him emotionlessly. He looked at me with eyes full of hope.

"He stronger than me, Woo. I can't beat him." I said keeping a monotone voice.

I tired to walk away but Geonwoo stopped me.

"Don't think like that! We can beat him, okay? Me and Woojin are here for you!" He sobbed.

I looked at him for a while. I was considering just accepting defeat and let Ok Gangwoo have his way.

'Am I really gonna back down?' I thought.

I started thinking about the people Ok Gangwoo has scammed or murdered.

Then finally realized I've gotten too far to give up now.

"Let your anger guide you, Soojin." He begged quietly.

I waited a few more seconds before deciding to give in.

"Okay." I responded. 

He smiled brightly and gave me and tight hug.

"Thank you so much, Soojin!" He said lifting me up and spinning me around.

I grinned and rolled my eyes playfully.

"Thanks for helping me Mr. Kim." I bowed.

"It's my job, no need to thank me!" He smiled.

I bowed once again and walked through the hospital doors.

I got in the car where mom, Geonwoo, and Woojin were waiting for me.

Woojin took my bag and held it for me while Geonwoo began to drive.

"You feeling okay?" Woojin whispered.

I looked at him and nodded. He smiled and looked back out the window.

I sighed heavily and looked out the window.

I thought about the past and how much Ok Gangwoo had made me suffer.

I was bullied in high school and I just barely made it through college with the money I made myself.

Despite money being tight almost all the time, I grew up just fine with my mom by my side and now I've got Woojin and Geonwoo.

And I appreciate them so much.

"We're here."

Geonwoo and Woojin had dropped my mom off before bringing me back to the apartment. 

Woojin opened the door and I went in before putting my bag down.

"Soojin." Geonwoo said.

"Hm?"

"When do you think you're gonna go back to work?"

"Soon."

He nodded.

I looked around the apartment while Geonwoo quietly sat down and began to scroll on his phone.

The pictures sitting on the wall interested me.

I noticed a pictures of Wojin and Geonwoo with Hyeon-ju's grandfather. I smiled brightly at the sight of the friendly old man.

The next photo was of Geonwoo and Woojin with a girl making the peace sign.

"Hey, Geonwoo." I said.

He looked up from his phone and at me.

"Who's she?" I continued.

He got up and looked at the photograph I was asking about.

"It's our friend. She's helped us out a lot when we were taking down Myeon-gil." He explained.

I nodded my head and looked back at the picture.

'She's pretty.' I thought.

Woojin came out of the bathroom and looked at me.

"Soojin, the bath is ready, you can get in first." He said.

I nodded and went into the bathroom after him.

He closed the door behind me and I locked it.

I sat on the toilet while sighing deeply. I never though that Ok Gangwoo would come back and ruin my self conscience even more than he already did in the past.

My reflection taunted me. I couldn't help but stare at the long off-white band-aid covering the stitched up cut on my cheek.

I began to take off my clothes and sat in the warm bath waiting for me.

I sat back and relaxed, taking my mind off the stressful thoughts.

'Let your anger guide you, Soojin.'

Geonwoo's words repeated in my head.

'Let your anger guide you, Soojin.'

I'm coming for you, Ok Gangwoo.
