Chapter 4

Sitting on the leather couch while drinking a martini was Kihyun, his pink hair carefully styled upwards. A pair of designer sunglasses sat on his nose, and on his mouth a nasty grin.

"How's your mother doing?" Kihyun purred softly. 

This filthy dog. 

Hyunwoo curled his hands into fists. "Why did you hurt her? She didn't do anything!" Hyunwoo yelled at him, and a part of him wanted to punch the smirk off Kihyun's face.

Kihyun stood up. "Let's strike a second deal, shall we?" He began circling Hyunwoo, the sound of his heels against the marble floor resonating through the lounge.

"No. I'm not going to deal with someone like you." Hyunwoo looked in the other direction, openly defying Kihyun's request.

"No?" Kihyun's voice appeared right by his ear. "It seems like you haven't learnt your lesson yet. I know of someone else who you care for greatly, someone who's still at the hospital." Hyunwoo's eyes widened in horror. He's talking about Papa!

"No! You can't hurt him! You can't!" Hyunwoo dropped to his knees and begged Kihyun. "Why can't I? You defied me twice. It's only fair if I have my payback." Kihyun sat down and downed his martini in a mouthful.

Images of his father lying broken in a pool of blood flashed through his mind. I can't let him do anything to Papa! With newfound determination, he scrambled to his feet and strode up to Kihyun, who returned him a bored look.

He grabbed a fistful of Kihyun's hair and yanked the latter's head backwards. "I will not be manipulated by you anymore. I will go to any lengths to stop you from bringing harm to my father." Kihyun was taken aback by Hyunwoo's sudden action and froze for a few seconds.

After he recovered from the initial shock, he pulled Hyunwoo's hand away. 

"Don't touch me!" He hissed at Hyunwoo. Finally, he's showing some signs of weakness. Hyunwoo was even more determined to make this work.

He lashed out and grabbed Kihyun by the neck, pushing him back slowly. "I have defied you twice, and I will defy you again." He rammed Kihyun against the wall. Kihyun's hand slowly went to the holster around his waist.

"I wouldn't try anything funny if I were you." Kihyun rasped, his hand closing around his 0.44 revolver and raising it to Hyunwoo's head. "Your family will be losing another member and I'm sure they wouldn't want that." Kihyun flashed him a sickeningly sweet smile.

What does he mean by 'another' member? Hyunwoo released his grip on Kihyun, who rubbed his neck and side-stepped Hyunwoo. "You obviously don't know what I mean." 

Now he's got the upper hand again. Just great. 

Kihyun spun the revolver around his index finger and leaned his head to one side.

"You have a sister, don't you? What's her name? Oh, it's Son Sihyeon." Kihyun pressed the revolver against Hyunwoo's temple. "They've already lost her. I can't imagine how tragic it would be if they lost you too."

Hyunwoo shoved Kihyun aside. "What did you do my sister?" Kihyun stumbled back a few steps but quickly caught his balance. He slowly 

"I didn't have to do anything. She left on her accord," He paused to gaze at Hyunwoo with a look of pity on his face, "It's such a shame you never knew about this. What a pity- "

Before he could finish his sentence, the door to the lounge flew open and a familiar voice rang out behind Hyunwoo.

"Leave my brother alone. If you want to fight, pick someone your size."
