10 - Cold Case

It's been several weeks since she was able to go outside again after being taken by Chanyeol. Though, it's not like she could get out frequently when she was still under her uncle's roof. Chaeyoung eagerly looked at the tall buildings as she rides on the passenger seat while her husband drives her to the insurance company and was accompanied by Jisoo and her private investigator. 

Technically, she will be able to get her inheritance on her birthday but Chaeyoung would like to make an amendment with her mother's contract, to donate it on the exact date of her birthday. 

She doesn't know how the father she knew would react once he learns she gave it away... she had no clue what he might do but, it's the source of his evils so she must give it away to those who will really need it. 

Despite not having any fortune, Chanyeol had vowed to take care of her. They don't need that much money, having each other would be enough. 

They met the manager who soon ushered them to one of the high ranking officers who will assist them in making an amendment in their account. Everything is easy enough until they were asked two little things that are essentially needed to have the request validated and approved by the CEO. 

Two valid IDs. 

In Chaeyoung's entire life, she only had one valid ID and that's her school ID back when she was still attending one. But right now, having one would be next to impossible as her birth certificate must be in her uncle's possession. 

Chanyeol sighed in embarrassment for forgetting those two essential things, little things that are required to be able to go around. Eventually, they left that place thinking of ways on how to get that document and she could only think of two persons who might help them. 

Hanbin and Sung Jin. 

Chanyeol's brows furrowed upon hearing the name he hasn't heard of for years. They never talked about him but he wasn't forgotten. 

"Sung Jin?" Chanyeol questioned as he took a quick glance at his wife before returning it back to the road. 

"Mm... He is our butler and he's very kind. He's more of what a father should be than my uncle. Even my sister thinks Sung Jin is too kind. I think he knows the way around my father's office. Maybe, we can ask Hanbin to talk to Sung Jin." Chaeyoung answers, looking carefully at her husband's expression but rather not point out what she noticed. 

Jisoo's forehead creased upon hearing the name and decided to ask her private investigator to check that butler out after they arrived home. One photo would be enough. 

Chanyeol nods as he says, "Alright. I'll try talking to Hanbin again. Though, I'm not sure how he'll react once he learns of our marriage." 

"Can you bring me with you? When you meet with Hanbin?" She asked to which the man paid her a quick glance, reaching her hand and held it tightly, smiling as a response to her. 

When they arrived home, Jimin greeted them, asking how it went and even cussing out loud when he learned the fact that Chaeyoung didn't have valid IDs. He didn't wonder why tho because the girl was practically a ghost, nobody in their family knew of her existence until that night. She was well hidden and all of them understood why.

However, he wanted to go with the couple to see Hanbin and if it needed to be, he wanted to go back to that mansion and see to it that the document will be retrieved successfully. 

"Jimin. No." Chanyeol turned the idea down which raised the brow of his younger brother, "Was I asking for permission?" 

"I don't want you going there alone." Chanyeol retorted.
