PART 3:

It was already dark when Luhan went home. He didn't even realize that it was already night when he arrived at their house. He was about to enter the house when he saw Dara get out in a taxi cab. He watches her bowed and wave to the driver.

"You're early," He said coldly.

"Yeah. I tried not to be late again like what's happened last night. But, what are you doing here outside?"

"Just getting fresh air." He said and opened the door.

Luhan watched her walks towards the stairs, more like observing her. When Dara is out of his sight, he recalled what happened earlier.

Flashback:

"Luhan, I want to tell you something." Ji Hyo said and Luhan looks at her.

"Do you know Nam Family?"

"Of course. They caused trouble to the clan, especially to Chanyeol." Luhan said and Ji Hyo sighed.

"Luhan, I am part of Nam Family. Joo Hyuk is my stepbrother." Ji Hyo said and looks down. Luhan stared at her in surprise.

"W-what? Y-you mean, that Joo Hyuk who experimented Chanyeol?!"

"Ye--"

"So, you are also like them?"

"No! I'm not. But, I helped them with their experiments."

"I can't believe this!"

"Don't worry, Luhan. I am not like them! I am not greedy. I just helped them because they forced me. I had no choice!"

Luhan hugs Ji Hyo

"It's alright. It's not your fault." Luhan said to calm her down.

They suddenly heard clapping. Luhan and Ji Hyo look around and saw a man standing at the door of Ji Hyo's house.

"Who are you?" Luhan asked but the man just smirked. Luhan looks at Ji Hyo who seems surprised and uncomfortable by the sudden appearance of the man.

"It looks like you two are finally united." The man said and walks close to Luhan and Ji Hyo as Luhan is ready to protect her mother.

"Now that you already have your son, why don't you tell him the real reason on why you suddenly showed up in front of him."

"What?" Luhan asked and look at Ji Hyo.

"Luhan, don't listen to him. He's just blabbering nonsense."

The man laughs and said, "What nonsense? Com'on, Ji Hyo! You promised to help us again and You told me that your son will help us."

"I did not agree! Dongwoo, just Leave us now and don't come back!" Ji Hyo said and was about to push Dongwoo out of the house when he pulled a gun and pointed it to Ji Hyo's forehead.

Luhan stands up and was about to fight when Ji Hyo gestured him to stop.

"Listen. I don't want to do anything bad right now. So, why don't we get this over now? Sit down both of you, if you don't want me to kill anyone of you!" Ji Hyo runs towards Luhan and hugs him, and the two sits down.

"Now, as what your mother promise us. You will help the Nam Family, whether you like it or not. If you don't want to help us, then I will have no choice but to kill both of you."

Luhan gritted his teeth before speaking. "What do you want me to do?"

"Luhan, don't!" Ji Hyo said but Luhan just put his hand to her shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I will protect you and nothing will happen"
