~A month later~

—Prisoner number 2528 has a visitor!

—What to me?

—Come out

—You’ve finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for so long...

—Dad...

—Seok Kyung, why are you taking so long? She made me wait for herself...

—I did as you said. So let's come to the deal. You will do as I want, since I did as you wanted

—Well... I see you haven’t changed and haven’t even gotten wiser, I told you to study well..

—What?

—I didn't promise you anything. You did it yourself

—What? You fooled me?

—Seok Kyung, how good it is that you were born such a fool...

~A month ago~
~Penthouse~

—Seok Kyung! They’re calling you! -, shouting so that Seok Kyung could hear, Seok Hoon left Seok Kyung’s phone at her bathroom door

—What are you saying?-, she muttered, yawning

—They’re calling you. Answer. Calls back 2 times. Probably important, although the number is unknown

—Okay...

Grabbing her phone from the chest of drawers near the door of her bathroom, Seok Kyung returned to the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

—Hello?...

—Seok Kyung-, she heard the voice of some man

—Who is this?...-, she asked sleepily grabbing a toothbrush

—Seok Kyung? Didn’t you recognize me?-, the man at the other end of the line asked mockingly

—Dad?...

—Seok Kyung!

—Come out quickly, it's time for breakfast-, Seok Kyung looked at the door, remaining confused

—Y-yes mom! I soon!

—Is Soo Ryong nearby? Can you call me back?

—Where did you get your phone number? How did you call?

—You know how, because I have a lot of money, Seok Kyung will you keep my number?

Ignoring Joo Dan Tae, Seok Kyung, in order to turn off the phone, was about to press the “End call” button, but he spoke again

—You should do this if you don’t want to lose those who are in this Penthouse right now-, he said mockingly and the call ended. After Seok Kyung looked at herself in the mirror and splashed her face with cold water, forcing herself to come to her senses

•New message from “Unknown Number”•

—Seok Kyung!? Are you okay there?-, the door opened and Soo Ryong came in, seeing her daughter’s pale face splashed with water, she immediately approached her

—Are you okay? Are you sick?

—Everything is fine... I just haven’t had time to fully wake up yet...

—Let’s go, it’s time for breakfast, you’ll be late for school, because exams are coming

—You’re right, I’ll rinse my teeth and come. Don’t worry about me-, the girl smiled. After Soo Ryung left, Seok Kyung grabbed the phone and unlocked it and read the message from Joo Dan Tae which was still recorded as “Unknown number”
