"The Skulls' are NOT dead."
"The Skulls has lost 2 members, possible disbandment?"
"Baek Chae-Won and Haneul's relationship, what is the truth?"
One week later
Layla Johansson enters the cafe where Super Junior is waiting, "annyeonghaseyo." She bows to them.
People are starting to come out of their houses, slowly going back to school and work.
"Noona, you're alone..." Kyuhyun looks around, "is Chae-Won okay?" Donghae ask immediately as Layla took a seat.
"I am sorry, that's highly classified." Layla talks formally, "Eunhyuk, have you been well?" Layla looks at Eunhyuk who was shot.
"Yes, but I am worried about Chae-Won." Eunhyuk replies.
Layla then looks down at her hands, "okay, I will just get straight to the point."
"The Skulls, an organization that is meant to protect people, were not suppose to step foot in our headquarter and have any personal contact with them unless it's outside business like collaborating on music." Layla starts off.
"Chae-Won also made a mistake, we're not allowed to date our clients. Bora made the bet because it's near impossible to capture Chae-Won's heart but, she kissed two boys in this group." Layla turns to Yesung then turn to Eunhyuk with her big blue eyes.
"Omo," Hee-Chul put his hand over his mouth. "But I didn't make a move." Layla sighs at his comment.
"I am not finished. The Skulls, we won't be seeing you guys unless there's a need to... We're not allowed to and I hope you guys understand." Layla lowers her head. "We're sorry we failed to protect you, causing pain and physical injuries."
"That would be all, I will take my leave." Layla stands up and politely bow to them, "see you when I see you."

Chae-Won sits in the office of Lady Heather's with an big orange envelope on the table.
"Take out the papers," Lady Heather takes her seat.
Chae-Won took out the black and white paper, listing all the punishments.
"I thought you were going to die..." Lady Heather sighs, "you are indeed a female warrior."
Lady Heather puts down a photo of Yesung and Chae-Won kissing by the beach.
Chae-Won stares at the photo for a few seconds then flip the photo around. "Dating is forbidden. I don't care if there is dating in the company, but you expose yourself to them and kissed two clients."
"Not only that one of the clients got shot not once, but twice! One was found unconscious on the floor by me!" Lady Heather starts to get angry at Chae-Won.
"Your punishments is 5 strokes of cane." Lady Heather states firmly.
"From now on, you can have no contact with them. The boys will be in another person's
care."
Chae-Won nods and sign the paper, she passes the paper to Lady Heather. "I accept everything." Chae-Won says in a low tone.
She already saw this coming.
"But Lady Heather, why didn't you do something when The Phoenix attacked my headquarters? I have said that The Phoenix is a problem—"
"Chelsea, there's no point talking about them now. We already had capture them and they're in our prison under our care." Lady Heather cuts her off, "your punishment will be on the first floor, go." Lady Heather rolls her eyes at Chae-Won.
Chae-Won left her office and went down to the first floor.
A photo of her brother, Baek Chan-Yeol is on the wall. Chan-Yeol was the best assassin, he unfortunately died protecting Chae-Won.
Chae-Won sighs, "you must be disappointed..."

One month later
Chae-Won enters the stadium dressed in a black hoodie and black jeans, she took out her phone to find 5 missed calls from Chang-Min.
Chae-Won calls him back while finding for her seat in the stadium. "Yah, where did you go again?" Chang-Min ask, furious that he can't find her anywhere.
"Oppa, relax. I am at a concert," Chae-Won chuckles lightly and sit down on her seat. "Who's concert?" Chang-Min ask, sitting comfortably in Chae-Won's villa.
"Super Junior." Chae-Won fix her eyes on the stage, "ah... what are you doing?" Chang-Min let out a soft groan.
"I can't see them personally, I don't know how they have been doing. I am here as a fan." Chae-Won smiles slightly, "you can just search them up on the internet, I swear to god." Chang-Min shakes his head at Chae-Won.
"Oppa, I am fine and healthy. Please do something else like maybe, dating." Chae-Won assures him, "you almost died." Chang-Min reminded her.
"How long is the concert?" Chang-Min ask, putting his fingers to the bridge of his nose, stressing out about Chae-Won.
"Three hours," Chae-Won put the hood up when she realizes people around are staring at her.
"I really don't understand you sometimes." Chang-Min let out a deep sigh.
Chae-Won sinks in her seat, "this is the only time I can see them upfront, Oppa."
"There's no other way, I only can watch them from afar. I brought so much pain for them." Chae-Won looks down at her hand, "why are you talking like that? Are you heartbroken?" Chang-Min furrows his eyebrows.
"Oppa, I don't have a heart." Chang-Min groans, "enjoy the concert, get home safely." Chang-Min leaves her villa and ends the call.
Chae-Won puts her phone down, the lights shut off and the fans start screaming.
The boys came onstage, a smile slowly appear on Chae-Won's face.
They look healthy and well.
Some fans took photos of Chae-Won secretly and posted it online.
"Annyeonghaseyo, I am big fan. Can I take a picture with you?" A girl went up to Chae-Won, "oh sure." Chae-Won immediately agrees.
The concert ended, Chae-Won immediately head out of the stadium.
The boys got into the van, perspiring. Eunhyuk takes out his phone, "Baek Chae-Won!" He holds up his phone.
"Why are you screaming her name for?" Hee-Chul frowns at him, "hyung! She was at our concert!" Eunhyuk passes the phone down to Siwon.
"Our fans took photos with her," Eunhyuk continues to talk in shock.
"What does it mean?" Yesung holds onto Eunhyuk's phone, a picture of Chae-Won smiling with a fan is shown on the screen.
"I don't know..." Hee-Chul looks over, "my woman looks good."
"Yah, how is she your woman?" Kyuhyun snaps at him, "yah, you're the maknae here." Hee-Chul slaps Kyuhyun's knee.
"Ah, hyung!" Kyuhyun frowns, "she looks well." Lee Teuk takes the phone from Yesung's hand.
"I wish I could hug her," Donghae pouts. Sungmin puts his hand on Donghae's shoulder, "at least we know she isn't dead."
