Chapter 20:

A few days had passed since San had last seen Wooyoung. After the discussion they'd had in his office, San told Wooyoung that he'd see him again soon, not really being sure if that was the case.

Wooyoung stayed at his home with 24/7 surveillance like San said he would. Though he was longing to see the older, the younger knew what San ordered had to be with good reason.

San had gotten word that Jaeseok was in custody as soon as Wooyoung left the police department.

And though, Jaeseok denied it all, Terance and Hongjoong had already ratted him out. Terance figured it better San's father than himself being blamed for the murders.

Both men within the coming weeks would probably be convicted of first degree murder and their little crew would ultimately be arrested as well.

As for Hongjoong, he'd told about what happened what happened on Jongho's last night alive.

Hongjoong had said that Jongho and himself had met Terance at the same time a some years ago, before Wooyoung's success.

Terance sold Jongho the dream of having Wooyoung become a great singer and Jongho being the sweet selfless brother that he was, wanted to do anything to see Wooyoung succeed.

To Hongjoong, Terance promised big business. High up management positions in the music industry.

For both of these young ignorant boys, there was no down sides to signing a contract that Terance had made seem like a dream.

Eventually, a few years later, when a song Wooyoung wrote finally stuck success, Terance would become more commanding about his compensation from the two boys.

They tried their best to keep from Wooyoung the alarming things that they were doing to keep up with this. Hongjoong sometimes secretly not paying him as much of his money so that he'd still have some to pay Terance.

Terance's fear mongering was extreme. He'd send some of his crew to threaten him. They'd tell him what Terance had done to people that didn't get his money in time.

This caused Hongjoong to panic and Jongho was the only person who could help him.

On Jongho's last night, Hongjoong had gotten word to meet Jaeseok, who would usually collect the money, at the back of a building just outside of Seoul.

Hongjoong, who'd been told to exclusively write in notes and not communicate their deals via cell, wrote to Jongho and dropped it by Wooyoung's home.

Jongho picked the note up and took it with him, he had done this before, he knew where to go. But he'd have to explain that he wouldn't be able to get the money on time.

This didn't go down well with Jaeseok who was also under Terance's control. He'd been given the green light to take anyone out who didn't meet the deadlines and that was exactly what happened.

Jaeseok had shot a running Jongho in the chest and once he was down the last shot was the in the head.

Hongjoong had managed somehow to get away but he wasn't safe yet.

They'd continue to threaten him up until the day he'd finally gotten the money to pay, which was when he was arrested.

San had no idea if Wooyoung had seen the news about the killer of his brother being caught. He'd like to imagine Wooyoung was just lounging around the house being bored and reading a book or something peaceful.

Sat at his own apartment after a long day, San thought about how it'd go when Wooyoung finally knew that San was Choi Jaeseok's son.

He'd be lying if he said he didn't miss the boy terribly, secretly wishing that he could just go over to his house and snuggle up next to his warmth.
