There was a knocking on the door. 

Could it be?! 

Chaerin rushed to the door and the girls followed up. She opened the door.

To her disappointment, it wasn’t Ji Hoo… It was a large bald, Caucasian man in a suit with dark sunglasses. 

“Chaerin Lee?” The man asked in English. 

“Yes, that’s me. Can I help you?” Chaerin replied. 

“I’m going to have to ask you to step outside for a moment. I have to share some classified information with you.” The man said gesturing slightly towards the girls toppling over behind me. Chaerin nodded and gave a small look to the girls as she stepped outside and closed the door behind her. What could this man want with her? Was it her father? He was still working in America… 

“It has been reported that you are associated with this man.” The man said pulling out a picture of Ji Hoo. At least… it seemed like it. It was a strange image. Ji Hoo was dressed completely in black and walking away from a violent, war torn background with fire and… bodies on the ground? Chaerin looked back up at the man. His expression was the same. He… seemed suspicious. 

“I don’t remember meeting anyone like this man. I’m sorry. It seems your reports were wrong.” Chaerin said nonchalantly. The man sighed slightly. 

“Ma’am, this man has been involved in murders worldwide. He is currently on the international wanted list. He is being targeted by the United Nations.” The man said. Chaerin turned wide-eyed. Murders…? Ji Hoo…? It couldn’t be… Ji Hoo saved her so many times. Chearin took a deep breathe. 

“I don’t mean to be rude, but I really do not know this man.” Chaerin said sternly. 

“Very well. Thank you for your cooperation.” The man said. He began to walk away. 

“Chaerin!” A voice called from down the hallway. Chaerin looked towards the other end of the hallway. It was Ji Hoo! The man looked back. In an instant he pulled out a gun and fired. Ji Hoo was hit. He fell down but got back up. 

“Ji Hoo, run!” Chaerin managed to get out. Ji Hoo frowned. Ji Hoo appeared by the man in an instant. The gun was on the floor and he held the man in a chokehold. 

“Who are you? Why are you after me?” Ji Hoo questioned the man instantly. No… Ji Hoo it couldn’t be…

“D-Damn!” The man struggled to let out. He took out his phone and pressed a button. Ji Hoo backed away after knocking the man out. Ji Hoo looked up at Chaerin with sad eyes. 

“Chaerin, I…” Ji Hoo began as he walked towards her. No… It was.. really… Chaerin backed away and fell down. The girls opened the door right at that time. 

“Unnie-“ Minzy began but the girls saw the scene. Dara stepped out. 

“Go. Never come back. As soon as I thought you were a good person you ruined yourself. If I ever see you again, I’ll kill you.” Dara said coldly. Ji Hoo knew it was useless to talk. He heard the backup coming up the stairs. He ran. Who were these people after him? He didn’t even know… Right as he was going to solve his biggest problem… Ji Hoo yelled out in frustration. He went up the stairs to the roof. He jumped to the next building. A bullet whizzed by his head. What the- He saw a fire escape and went down. 

Ji Hoo ran faster. These guys weren’t average gangsters… Was it the Korean mafia? It felt much more dangerous… Who the hell were these guys? Ji Hoo hid in an alley. Sirens were everywhere. There were SWAT teams everywhere. Ji Hoo ran to the only place he thought he could. He grit his teeth. He cursed under his breath. But his heart ached.
