Ding dong!

"Who is it?" A gruffy voice sounded from inside. The sound of the locks rattling were heard before the door swung open.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man glared. The girls exchanged looks. Wonyoung held out several photos taken from a CCTV. They all showed a man barging into a house and emerging with a bag. Though, the pictures weren't that clear.

"May we go in to talk?" Wonyoung asked. The man begrudgingly let them in without a word. Seated at the dining table, Wonyoung presented the man with more evidence. Taerin took her turn to speak.

"A few months ago, you forcefully entered an elderly lady's residence, and later emerged with a duffel bag. We've contacted the elderly lady and have confirmed she has lost about 10,000USD. We also have witness statements. Legal action will be taken unless you agree to repay the full sum by the end of this week." Taerin curtly said.

"Who the hell are you kids demanding such ridiculous requests? Get lost if you have nothing better to do." He stood up roughly but Wonyoung held him back with words.

"If you ignore us, our legal representatives will file a case against you and the consequences will be much worse."

"You stupid bitch." The guy made a grab for Wonyoung, but Taerin stepped in the way and slapped his arm away. This did nothing to dissuade the attack, however. Instead, his father lunged for Taerin, grabbing her by the neck and choking her.

"Taerin!" Wonyoung shrieked, stepping in to pry the man's hands away from her friend's neck. But instead, she got roughly shoved away, hitting her back on the edge of the dining table.

"Wonyoung! Let her go you son of a bitch!" Chaewon grabbed the nearest item, her metal tumbler, and swung it at the guy's head. This finally made him let go of Taerin with a curse. Taerin started coughing erratically. Chaewon helped both her and Wonyoung up, directing them towards the door.

"You dare assault her again, don't blame me for not being kind. Also, I have everything on video." Chaewon said, standing in a defensive position in front of her friends. She grabbed her phone that was propped against the vase on the dining table and shoved it in her pocket.

"Looks like we won't be mediating any time soon. See you in court." Wonyoung's voice trembled slightly before they hurriedly took their leave.

"Taerin, are you okay?" Chaewon asked as they arrived outside the apartment complex. Taerin rubbed her neck and nodded.

"It's all bruised though. Should we go to the hospital?" Chaewon asked.

"No, I'm fine. What about you, Wonyoung?"

"My wrist hurts."

"Yeah maybe we should go to the hospital."

"Get yourself examined too." Wonyoung instructed.

"Alright, alright." Taerin couldn't say no.

"What the heck happened?" A worried boyfriend burst through the sliding doors, only to see his girlfriend lying in the hospital bed, an ice bag on her neck.

Taerin shot a glare at Chaewon. "You told him?"

"What do you mean? Of course I did, you fool. He's your boyfriend."

"But-"

"Look look look, whatever you want to say, say to him. I'm leaving. I'll go see Wonyoung." Chaewon put her hands up in surrender before scurrying out the door, leaving Taerin with a fuming Jungwon.
