The talk with Do Hee lasted longer than Ji Hu expected it to. Do Hee wanted all the details, so Ji Hu gave her what she wanted. By the end of the long conversation, Do Hee was just reeling from what Ji Hu told her. Ji Hu sent Do Hee on her way after a few minutes of silence, asking Seong Min if he could drive Do Hee back to the F&B office. She was expecting this reaction to come from Seok Hoon, but considering a certain employee over at the foundation told him all about Gu Won's demon status, it was about time Do Hee found out.

Ji Hu sat on the couch in her office, legs crossed and a drink from F&B in hand. She was reviewing the footage from the group that would be making their debut next month. Ji Hu knew what to expect from the idol industry, seeing the group practicing their asses off to make sure they didn't disappoint anyone. As she sat there, Gu Won entered the office once again, this time through the doors instead of just snapping his fingers. "How was your demon work today? Make any deals?" Ji Hu asked.

"No luck today."

Ji Hu had to seriously get used to her new life. Being married to a demon who had to make deals in order to survive, those conversations would sound weird coming out of her mouth for the rest of her life.

Ji Hu placed the cover on the iPad, setting it down onto the table across from Gu Won. "Well, now that you're back. Should we go catch them?"

"Catch who?"

"The real culprit, Gu Won. The bastard that wants my head on a stick." Ji Hu said.

Gu Won looked at Ji Hu. "Welcome back, Noh Ji Hu." Gu Won grinned. "Where should we begin?" Gu Won asked.

Ji Hu had a few thoughts. "Sokcho." She leaned forward, placing her arms on her legs. "The culprit knew we were in Sokcho. Someone leaked our information, Gu Won." Ji Hu didn't want to think that Seong Min or Sa Rang leaked that info about where they were headed. She could picture someone at the shoot leaking that information for a quick buck, but at the same time, Ji Hu knew that the person who tried to kill her followed them from Seoul.

"It's always the confidant that betrays the main character for money. We should start with our inner circle." Gu Won pointed out.

Ji Hu crossed her arms. "I can already tell you it wasn't Seong Min." Gu Won went to say something but Ji Hu shot him a look. "The only other ones who knew were Sa Rang, Seok Hoon, and Star Jin." Ji Hu said.

"So did Mr. Park." Gu Won added.

"Well, we're back to square one, Gu Won, because unless Mr. Park decided to blab his mouth to someone about our whereabouts, we don't have anything. I know my people wouldn't say a thing. Ms. Jin only had one thing on her mind, to have me dead, but I doubt she'd get someone to actually kill me. She wanted me to do it myself." Ji Hu commented.

"She wanted what?"

Ji Hu pressed her lips together. Then she remembered something. "Oh, Seong Min mentioned to Ms. Shin where we were going. You know how protective she is of me and Do Hee. Apparently, he told her." Ji Hu shrugged.

Gu Won nodded slowly. Ji Hu saw his face. "What...?" she questioned.

"Think about it."

Ji Hu crossed her arms. "Please tell me you aren't suggesting that Ms. Shin leaked our information."

"She's the most suspicious of all." Gu Won said.

Ji Hu shook her head. "Ms. Shin helped raise me, Gu Won. Why would she leak that? I know for a fact that there are some sick and twisted people out there that call themselves my "fans" who would leak my information before Ms. Shin would. And the only reason she would would be because I told her to." Ji Hu said.
