HI
Jeongguk settled back, phone buzzing softly. He stared out at the sky, sitting on his office chair, glass trembling in hand.
Seoul needs me.
Jeongguk scrolled Namjoon’s text again:
"Taehyung’s safe in Florence, but Kim Jaehwan...his bullet of dread knows Jisoo’s in town, her husband too."
Jeongguk sighed. He recalled what had happened after Taehyung’s phone call ended with his father.
Yesterday:
Just when Taehyung went back to shower, Jeongguk got a voice note from Namjoon, his phone buzzing insistently beside the bed.
Namjoon’s voice came hurried,
“Hyung, you need to come back. Now.”
Jeongguk reached for his phone, he hit play:
Namjoon’s voice further said.
“Hyung… Jaehwan's seen Ji-soo in Seoul...she and her husband are in town, laying low. But word travels fast, and now Jaehwan’s on his trail. He’s moving to… ‘resolve’ it."
Jeongguk’s jaw clenched. That bastard of a man.
"Hold everything. I'm coming back."
Even though Taehyung's tears pierced his heart bit by bit he had to leave.
Jeongguk wasn't lying when he said he didn’t wanted Taehyung to be distracted from his goal because this time Jaehwan is after Ji-soo to reclaim his control.
On his private Jet when Namjoon called:
Jeongguk picked up, his voice calm and low, “Hello.”
Namjoon's voice trembled with relief & resolve hearing Jeongguk’s voice,
“Hyung… Thank God, where are you?”
Jeongguk replied with a short pause, voice steady,
“En route to Seoul. Touching down in about three hours. No delays.”
Namjoon anxiously said, “I tried Ji‑soo’s number. Changed. Can’t reach her or her husband.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. She’s been relocated, secure and off‑grid. I’ve accounted for every scenario.” Jeongguk's cool and authoritative reply calmed Namjoon down.
“…You’ve arranged that?”
Jeongguk said in a firm and commanding tone, “Yes. And once I land, we execute the extraction plan. No slip‑ups. Got it?”
Namjoon was relieved,
“Got it.”
“Good. Meet me at Shilla Hotel’s Presidential Suite. Sharp, exactly when you land. I don’t like waiting.”
Namjoon softly chuckled and respectfully replied, “Sharp, hyung.”
Just before ending the call Jeongguk said
,“Be ready to activate the plan. We'll move fast. And Jaehwan… won’t know what's going to hit him.”
“Understood. I’ll be there.”
“Don’t be late. I’ll see you.”
Click. The line went cut.
Present:
Jeongguk got up from his chair. Standing at the window his thoughts gathered anger towards the Bastard, who was once his sweetheart's father.
The sick bastard is now planning to take Ji soo away from her husband and force marriage her with mafia ties.
To regain his lost business and authority, he wants to sell out his daughter.
