Ruby(Red 2) JC [Revised]

19: New CEO

"Here's your papers."

Jihoon said as he slammed the papers on the glass table, right in front of Jeonghan. Seokmin picked them up and started reading them.

"They were in that vault, right?" Chan asked.

"Yeah, I picked up the book you told me to, and boom! The door opened, and I brought the whole vault." Soonyoung explained.

"And of course, Jihoon helped me a lot." Soonyoung said shyly, a hint of crimson creeping over his cheeks. Jihoon took his hand into his and gently placed a kiss on it.

"Anything for you, babe."

"But how did you even manage to do all of that?" Mingyu was curious. This guy had done something that nobody could ever imagine. Chan practically stole Aerin's soul; the vault was her most precious thing.

"You see, when I resigned from my job, I wanted to keep an eye on Aerin. So I took a bit of hell from my brother and recommended his boyfriend. Now when y'all decided to get back onto Aerin, I knew we needed those papers, so I just instructed Soonyoung, and he brought them."

"But how do you know all of that?" Joshua asked, wide-eyed.

"Well, only Aerin and her mother have the access to go there, or very selected people whom they trust the most, mostly their secretaries. When I resigned, Aerin probably forgot she herself showed me each and everything of that room. Aerin has a bookshelf in her office; if you move a specific book off that shelf, the door of the secret room opens."

"And there is a specific vault that contains these papers; only a passcode can unlock it." Soonyoung added.

"And there's something else too, a diary that contains all of Aerin's life records, from murdering her own father to planning everything beforehand with Seungcheol to take revenge on Jeonghan." Soonyoung put a big brown diary on the table.

Jeonghan's eyes widened as he reached for the diary, his hands trembling slightly. "This... this could be everything we need."

Seokmin nodded, flipping through the papers quickly. "This is solid evidence. If we use this right, Aerin's entire empire could crumble."

Jihoon tightened his grip on Soonyoung's hand, a determined look in his eyes. "We'll make sure she pays for everything she's done. This is our chance to set things right."

Mingyu looked around the room at his friends, feeling a surge of hope. "Alright, what's the plan? How do we take her down?"

Jeonghan, regaining his composure, set the diary down and stood up. "First, we go through all this information thoroughly. We need to understand every detail. Then, we plan our move. Aerin won't see us coming."

"But how do you know about the passcode?" Mingyu asked, still bewildered.

Jihoon rolled his eyes. "Easy, 0808. Setting your boyfriend's birthday as the passcode is very dumb, not gonna lie."

Seokmin chuckled, but quickly regained his seriousness. "This diary will help us reveal Aerin's true face to the world. Han, you should keep it with you. First, explain everything to Seungcheol. That man will be traumatized when he finds out the truth."

"Yeah, I mean, he must have thought of her as a good person, only to find she's nothing but a snake in disguise," Seokmin added.

"And I'm gonna kill that snake now because, you know, poisonous snakes should be killed before they kill you with their venom," Soonyoung said with a determined look.
