Day 5: Listen to my sincere voice

With Park Dae-hyun officially latched onto someone else for babysitting duty, Yunjin and Chaewon could finally try and make a start on their weak attempts at figuring out what was happening with him.

Once Yunjin had figured she actually wasn't going to find sleep anytime soon next to Chaewon, she resorted to staying up the rest of the night and figuring out the woman's place of residence. She'd only ever been mentioned once, but with her own private resources, finding it was practically rounded by the next morning.

So, amped up on 3 too many coffees and a well-slept Chaewon beside her, Yunjin walked up the long, long driveway to the large house.

"Holy cow..." Yunjin huffed, the air tight in her chest -- she needed to workout more. "Who puts a whole mansion on top of the world's longest driveway?"

Chaewon simply smiled. "You questioning how much money she has?"

"No fucking shit, unnie. We know nothing about her and she's living in the most private mansion we could think of. If those four security checks weren't worth it I'm going to be tempted to rip my hair out."

"You're just cranky because you don't work out as much." Chaewon laughed. She leaned forwards to press the button on the large oak double doors, a loud blare ringing out. Silence settled in comfortably, until a minute later, when a shorter man opened the door for them both. "Oh, and you're the women who are..."

"Yes," Yunjin quickly nodded. "Is Olivia Carter home?"

"She told me to bring you both to her when you arrive." He said simply. Turning on the spot, he moved through the house much faster than they were both prepared for.

Twisting through the large, gaping hallways and carefully sculpted marble and granite interior, they eventually reached the kitchen. The house hosted an open floor plan, the large kitchen spilling into the main sitting room, and a large deck out back overlooking the green grass. Distantly, a small handful of ducklings could be spotted along the grass, and it was only the strong British accent of the woman they were looking for that drew their attention away.

Olivia Carter stood in a simple button up and skirt, flour-smocked apron over her waist. She smiled with dazzling straight white teeth, all pale skin and blue eyes clothed in shimmery black hair. "It's good to finally meet you both!" She cooed, adjusting the baby on her hip, one who was happy just sitting and sucking its thumb. "How can I help?"

Chaewon blinked slowly, noting that the woman was clearly fluent even with the British accent sticking through her words. She turned to Yunjin for help, as if it wasn't already hard enough to say no when she smiled like that.

"Miss Carter?"

"Please, just call me Olivia."

"...Olivia." Yunjin nodded. She took a hesitant seat in one of the bar stools along the large island top, Chaewon sat beside her. "What was your relationship like with Park Dae-hyun? How did you two meet?"

Olivia sighed. She pushed back a dainty strand of hair and turned to place her kid in the high chair, where it squealed and immediately went back to smashing the food on the plate. "I met him on set maybe four years ago? I had recently moved here, since my company figured I had an amazing future in the drama industry here after the success of a movie. We were put on the drama together, 'A last time with you, ' and from there we started dating. I didn't really... think much of it."

"What do you mean?"

Olivia looked up at Yunjin. She leaned back against the countertop to resume what looked like kneading dough. "We were both so busy with work. And we never publicly dated, or announced the marriage. Actually, we dated for three years before I had to ask him to propose. Otherwise Dae-hyun would have never done so."
