Due to Jihyo's injuries recovering quickly, she was able to be discharged from the hospital.

"I'm not crippled", Jihyo grunted since Tzuyu was teasing her about needing a wheelchair to get around

"Unnie it's ok", the youngest cutely laughed as she pushed Jihyo through the hospital. Making Jihyo to roll her eyes in annoyance.

The five of them were on their way back into the Son Residence, as requested by Chaeyoung. This sudden news would infuriate her father tremendously. Most likely causing a bloody war to whoever hurt the oldest.

They walked up the entrance, sweat dripping on Tzuyu, Chaeyoung, Jihyo, and Dahyun's face. Mina was kind of oblivious as what to expect. But it was no doubt that she felt the anxiety emitting off from the others.

"Evening Miss Son, Miss Chou, Miss Myoui an-", one of the men dropped his jaw, surprised to see Jihyo and her injuries. "Miss Park!?". He ran up to Jihyo and quickly bowed. "Are you okay Miss?!".

Jihyo nodded. "I'm fine...thank you", she smiled warmly as they continued their way into the mansion.

Mina and Chaeyoung were walking behind everyone else. The penguin glanced at Chaeyoung with a worried expression. "It'll be okay", her soft hand intertwined with the cub's hand. Again, butterflies swarmed Chaeyoung's stomach.

But all Chaeyoung could do was show a small smile towards Mina, as they continued making way through the hallway.

"Father", Chaeyoung's voice interrupted her father's focus on his book.

He looked up, "Yes daughter?". As soon as Tzuyu came walking in with Jihyo in the wheelchair, Mr.Son immediately stood up from his seat. "What on heavens earth happened!". His tone was deep and stern, making the five girls feel terrified just by hearing his voice.

Jihyo bowed to him, she gulped as she was about to explain how she got into this situation. "It was them, uncle...". Without another word, Mr.Son knew exactly what she meant by them.

His face turned serious, reaching for the phone that was on his desk. The girls watched in alarm as he dialed a number on the phone.

"Bobby, gather up the men. It seems we have a case on our hands". Not wasting any time, Mr. Son hung up the phone and walked up to Jihyo. "Rest and heal yourself. We'll take care of those pesky brats", his voice growled in anger.

Jihyo and the others nodded their head. "As you wish uncle". And with that, Mr. Son went out the door.

"Damn", Chaeyoung stomped her feet against the floor in frustration. It was obvious to her that there was going to be some bloodshed. Even though she was born and raised in the Geondal, she can't help but to hate violence to her very core. She despised it.

"Dahyun, Tzuyu, and unnie. Can you leave me and Mina to ourselves for a moment", her voice was calm as she instructed them. They nodded, understanding why she wanted to be left alone.

"Call us if you need us", Tzuyu said as she wheeled Jihyo out the door with Dahyun following right behind.

Chaeyoung sighed while brushing her hair back. Giving thought to what was about to come, she sat herself in the chair and signaled Mina to sit as well.

"Mina". The penguin gave her full attention to the cub. "I'm sorry that you had to see all of this...it wasn't my intention to start our 1year off like this". Chaeyoung's voice was filled with sorrow and anger. Mina completely understood, since things like this was normal for her in the Yakuza as well.

"It's fine... I understand Chaeyoung. You don't have to explain yourself to me". The cub looked up at Mina's eyes. Those eyes were filled with understanding and compassion,  something that Chaeyoung hadn't seen for a long time now. And whenever Mina was around, it made Chaeyoung feel comfortable. It didn't matter if they just met...Mina was already special to her.

The cub smiled, showing those adorable dimples. "Thank you", she said softly.

Though deep down, Chaeyoung wasn't going to tell Mina that she actually had to join her father and his men with the fight. Just thinking about it made her feel guilty of not telling the penguin. But she kept it to herself anyways. It was her job to protect Mina at all costs.
