Tae-Ho and Lee Yoon-Ah arrived at the designated meeting point, a sleek, modern building in the heart of the city. Director Kim was already there, his expression stern.
"So, you've decided to disobey me, Yoon-Ah," he said, his voice cold. "And you, Tae-Ho, are still sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong."
Tae-Ho stood tall, his eyes locked on Director Kim. "I'm just trying to help Yoon-Ah. She deserves better than to be used by you."
Director Kim sneered. "You know nothing about what's at stake here. Yoon-Ah, you're coming with me. Now."
Lee Yoon-Ah hesitated, looking at Tae-Ho. Then, she made her decision.
"No, Director Kim. I won't go with you. I'll take my chances with Tae-Ho."
Director Kim's face turned cold as he looked at Lee Yoon-Ah. "You'll regret this, Yoon-Ah. You'll regret not listening to me."
With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Tae-Ho and Lee Yoon-Ah wondering what he meant.
As they watched, Director Kim got into his car and drove off into the night, leaving behind an eerie feeling.
Lee Yoon-Ah shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. "What was that all about?"
Tae-Ho's eyes narrowed. "I don't know, but I think we should be careful. Director Kim seemed serious."
Lee Yoon-Ah nodded, her mind racing with possibilities. What did Director Kim know that she didn't?
As they stood there, trying to make sense of the situation, a black sedan pulled up beside them.
The window rolled down, revealing a familiar face - one of Chairman Lee's loyal bodyguards.
"Lee Yoon-Ah, the Chairman wants to see you. Now."
