"Seungcheol-nim, Mingyu is unable to attend this meeting now because things are not very good. So I represented him to apologize for you"

"It's okay, Wonwoo. Today is the day Jeonghan will go to Dazé Mansion to meet Lee Seokmin. So, Mingyu's role is not too important right now"

"So what should I do, Seungcheol-nim" Jeonghan asked politely

"As long as you don't reveal to him the secret you heard in this Mansion, you can do everything you want when talking to him. Don't make hasty decisions, think first and don't fall into Lee Seokmin's trap. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Seungcheol-nim"

"Seonghwa and Seongmin. The task of both of you are to take him away and return safely. I already told Lee Seokmin's personal assistant that I will only send a representative for myself"

"Okay, Seungcheol-nim. Jeonghan, come with us"

"I'll go first, Seungcheol-nim. Pray that everything goes smoothly" Jeonghan gave Seungcheol a smile before the three of them left the meeting room

••••••••••

"Seungcheol, don't you see Jeonghan is like someone you may know?" Myungho asked Seungcheol after only the two of them were left in the room

"Like Audrey you mean? Audrey died 8 years ago, Myungho" Seungcheol explained again that it's impossible Jeonghan is his little brother

"You sure?"

"I've investigated his whole background. He really has nothing to do with Audrey. His parents died when he was little and he was taken care of by someone who took him in at an orphanage"

"Okay if you say so. The incident 8 years ago... There is something wrong with this problem. It can be said that there was a mastermind behind the downfall of Audrey's family at that time. Maybe this is why Seokmin wants to meet you"

"What do you mean?"

"Seokmin is known as an ambitious person, but from the beginning he openly competed with you. I'm sure there's something we don't know"

"Myungho, you should have told me about this a week later. What's the point of you telling me now that Jeonghan is already there?" Seungcheol showed his displeased face to Myungho

"It's all because of Jeonghan's presence in this Mansion. Before this, I also believed the same you were thinking. But they are too similar, Seungcheol. He looks exactly the same as little Audrey, only his physical form has changed"

"It would be stupid if I said that I never realized that. From the beginning I met him, I realized his face looked like Audrey" Seungcheol started to remember the first time he met Jeonghan when he was attacked by Casé's people

"Everyone in this Mansion knows that I will not allow someone with no experience like Jeonghan get into this Mansion. I still allow him to be close to me, all because of my curiosity"

Myungho was stunned to hear Seungcheol's explanation "Is this why you've always been gentle with him? As far as I remember, this is the first time you've broken down the wall you put up after his death"

"Am I?" He remembers all his memories with his lover who died two years ago. A bittersweet ending for them, he was the person who heals Seungcheol's trauma with his love and care

"He's the one who made you have a purpose to live again after a few years you didn't have the will to live after Audrey's death. If he really is Audrey, what do you want to do?"

"It all seems ridiculous, but if it's true.. I will make sure that I don't lose him from my sight ever again"

"I will help you to find out if he is Audrey"

"No.. you don't have to. I'll use my own method, there are more people who want Audrey dead than people who want to see him live"

Jeonghan, Seonghwa and Seongmin have arrived at the Lee family's Dazé Mansion. After going through several confirmations before being allowed inside, they finally arrived in front of the Mansion's gate

"Which one of you is named Jeonghan?" A security guard at the main gate asked the three of them

"Me" Jeonghan raised his hand without the slightest hesitation "Seokmin-nim is waiting for you inside" the security guard gestured with his hand indicating that Jeonghan was allowed to enter

"You two stop. Only Jeonghan is allowed inside" the security guard insists that Seonghwa and Seongmin cannot enter the Mansion

"It's okay. I can be alone inside. You guys wait for me outside" Jeonghan patted both of their shoulders to reassure them both

••••••••••

"Welcome" Seokmin's personal assistant took Jeonghan up to the fifth floor, where Seokmin was waiting for Jeonghan

"Wait a minute here. I will inform them all of your presence"

Seokmin-nim.. he's here.. "bring him in"

After Jeonghan heard Seokmin's voice, he went in without hesitation and greeted Seokmin politely "good afternoon, Seokmin-nim. I'm Jeonghan, Seungcheol-nim's personal advisor, here to represent him"

"Do you know why I want to meet with Seungcheol?" Seokmin asked firmly

"If I had known, I wouldn't have ended up here to meet you" Jeonghan sneered at Seokmin. Everyone in the room looked at Jeonghan strangely except for Seokmin. No one there dared to offend Seokmin

"I like your attitude. Come, sit near me. I will tell you what my true intentions are"

Jeonghan walked slowly closer to where Seokmin was. He watched the room without realizing that all eyes were on him

"Leave me alone with him" Seokmin directed so that he could talk together with Jeonghan without any interruption

••••••••••

"It's just the two of us here. You can talk and give your opinion calmly without being scared"

Scared? Jeonghan raised one eyebrow. For him, he didn't feel stressed at all when he was here. In fact, he felt calmer here than at Hera Mansion

"Since you were sent directly by Seungcheol, I will be honest with you. I just want you to tell him that there is a traitor hiding in your Mansion. Whether it is the four of them or the high-ranking bodyguards. There is one more thing that I want only you and Seungcheol to know"

Seokmin put his mouth close to Jeonghan's ear to whisper "Audrey and Joshua are still alive"

Hah.. Jeonghan was stunned to hear the two names mentioned by Seokmin "who are they both?" Jeonghan asked innocently

"Just tell Seungcheol and he will understand what you want to say"

"Alright. Is there anything else I need to say?"

Seokmin gripped Jeonghan's hand tightly "please help me to keep an eye on someone at Hera Mansion. His name is Choi San, Seungcheol's younger brother"

"If that's the case, I can't do it" Jeonghan quickly released his hand from Seokmin's grip

"I know you will definitely help me. When I made eye contact with you, you reminded me of someone. I have no bad intentions but please keep an eye on him for me. This is my phone number, just call me if you want to see me" Seokmin caressed Jeonghan's head then he gave Jeonghan a brotherly smile

This feeling.. Jeonghan swayed in the caress Seokmin gave him. It feels quite familiar to him as if something that was lost came back in his life
