You Were My Love

Scene 51 - Ruthless

You couldn't say it was dark.

But the light was quite dim in the room.

Only the latest design lamp was throwing a yellow halo, creating a comfy bubble around the modern shaped ivory sofa, which was reflecting some of the light around the lovers.

At the Park Hyatt, it was a quiet night in the Lee suite.

Jimin and Hae Wong were sitting at an angle on the couch.

The dancer was reading, leaning against a pile of fluffy cushions.

His feet were resting on Hae Wong's thighs.

He was engrossed in the biography of the famous dancer Lee Mae Bang, while the politician was holding the evening newspaper.

It wasn't long before Hae Wong let out chuckles, then a dark laugh.

Jimin tilted his head aside, lowering his book a little to look at his man.

It was quite unusual from his part to be so jolly while reading the evening edition of his habitual leaf.

"Are you looking at the cartoons section?" the student asked casually.

"Kind of ..." Hae Wong replied sarcastically with a smirk.

Jimin shrugged and went back to his reading the biography.

Hae Wong kept on reading the very interesting article...

He was so pleased with the whole prose, he went over it again for the third time.

Just the headline was enough to paint a cruel grin on his otherwise charming face.

"Death of Chief Secretary."

He gleefully read on, a dark joy setting in his restless heart.

"Two days ago, the lifeless body of Song Kang Dae, Chief Secretary of the Financial Commission, was found in his car on the east banks of the Hangang river.

Even though no official statement has been issued yet, it is believed Song Kang Dae committed suicide after he went bankrupt. Unofficial sources hinted that he lost all his funds after some misplaced investments.

Moreover legal troubles were starting to grow for him as an anonymous witness revealed some proofs of illegal moves. Shortly after, even though the secretary always denied any connection, the Financial Investigation Board went through some irregularities in his accounts and had started unveiling some fraudulent trades.

His family life had also begun resembling a personal wreck since his wife filed in for divorce last month. The motive the clerks registered was adultery.

Obviously, this has to be related to the fact that tabloids recently published photos of the commissioner in a compromising situation with a young male strip dancer in a club.

Mr Song always denied the ties, claiming he had been set up. His spouse apparently differed on the point.

Another reason for a deep depression might also be the fact that last week his only daughter fled to Europe with some rising artist, whose reputation is better known for being a drug addict than for his gifted painting.

Yet, before concluding to self inflicted death, the police still want to investigate some elements.

Indeed, first the coroner's office seems to have found some strange marks on Mr Song's body that yet still need to be explained.

Secondly, some elements bear troubling common points with the yet unaccounted for disappearance of the commissioner Kang Chul Moo.

Even though some sources allude to the fact Commissioner Kang might have fled abroad to live an adulterous affair with a younger female, his family has claimed they did not get any news and they have been seriously worrying ever since the day he disappeared. They are calling upon any witness who could have news of the commissioner to contact authorities as soon as possible, and are ready to offer a reward for any valuable information that would lead to a breakthrough in their search for him."

Hae Wong smirked again as he folded back the large sheets of paper, then put them down on the nearby coffee table.

His arms dropped to his sides.

Everything was quiet in the suite.

His eyes went to the cute feet resting on his lap.

He felt cheerful and willing to play.

He started tickling his angel's toes and feet, and when Jimin giggled and laughed, dropping his book, the blonde bent towards him and gave him the first kiss of a long series of them, which he soon paired with cuddles... and gradually more...
