the penthouse

44 | a job to finish.

" my, my, jeong jaehyun, you never fail to impress me with your twisted plans. " doyoung got out of the car. jaehyun, who was smoking yet another cigarette, was standing in front of the mall kang ju-won worked at.

doyoung had to tag along. he lied to sooyoung that his father sent him to bring some files, and since sooyoung did not bother to check anything, doyoung managed to leave the building without a worry.

it was not like doyoung would beat up anyone, and especially not a man like kang ju-won, who was taller and stronger than doyoung. on the other hand, jaehyun was crazy enough to fight every single person that annoyed him.

" that bastard said some stuff about me, from what i have heard. " jaehyun scoffed. as they simply stood there, a group of younger boys watched them with shocked eyes. it was not every day they saw men with stupid-looking cars and watches that looked ridiculous.

jaehyun finally finished smoking. he looked at doyoung, and nodded. it was time for them to go and meet ju-won, and probably do something about his behaviour. though, to be fair, doyoung was not about to join a fight. he was better off as a spectator.

the two men made their way into the mall. it was a beautiful day, filled with children laughing around with a person dressed as mickey mouse, and their mothers trying to carch up with them. doyoung let out a laugh.

" i, when i was drunk, told a mickey mouse man to turn around, so i can slap his ass. i was in los angeles. " doyoung smiled, proud to announce a great memory of his. jaehyun turned around, and had no idea how to react to doyoung.

" did you.. did you ever do anything that sounds remotely normal ? everything i have known about you, it has been against my will. and i have no idea what to think of it. " jaehyun told doyoung, who replied by laughing.

after hearing from doyoung, jaehyun decided it was time for them to go and find ju-won. he had to be around, which meant that jaehyun had the chance to talk to him about sooyoung, and what he had done to her. it was something jaehyun was looking forward to.

he knew that sooyoung would not agree with it, but she was not supposed to know anything about jaehyun's visit to the mall. doyoung was handing out files to other people, while jaehyun was most likely at work. none of them were at the mall.

" he is supposed to be in the food court. i am sure he is making sure the amazing rolls are not stolen. and i will make sure to steal one. " doyoung smiled, as he walked into the food court. he almost ran to the place with rolls, when jaehyun saw ju-won.

it was the same man jaehyun had seen last time, before sooyoung came and took him away. jaehyun could tell it was ju-won, because of the ugly looks he gave doyoung. from what he remembered, ju-won hated sooyoung's dear friend.

with that, jaehyun wasted no time and ran up to that man. he grabbed him by his collar, allowing ju-won to take a good look at who he was dealing with. jaehyun held tightly onto the man, until he saw that doyoung widened his eyes.

" ju-won, come and get this crazy man off me ! " the man who jaehyun thought was ju-won was yelling towards another man. this time, the real ju-won held jaehyun by his shoulder. when jaehyun let go, he sighed.

" are you crazy ? what are you doing in the middle of the mall, of a public space ? i will call the local police right now. " ju-won told jaehyun. once jaehyun turned around, everyone began to mumble. " you are one crazy man. "

instead of replying like one would, jaehyun punched the man who had hurt sooyoung. all of those stories about sooyoung having to suffer, every memory she had of this man, it made jaehyun feel even more anger towards him.
