Chorong- What are you doing?
Suho- Hmm? Nothing much. I just finished my lunch
Chorong- Hmm, you went to lunch alone?
Suho- With Yoona. Why? Are you jealous?
Chorong- No! Who would I be jealous by that?
Suho- Ayy, my baby is jealous. It's okay, Yoona is just my assistant
Chorong- Hmm
Suho- Hmm, just admit that you're jealous. You're jealous right?
Chorong- Am I that obvious? Hmph
Suho- I can tell you are jealous by your voice, my baby
Chorong- Hmm, I'm so not going to talk to you after this
Suho- Well, then someone just lost her opportunity to get the latest jewels by Pandora
Chorong- Wait! What?! Honey, don't! I want them so much!
Suho- Hmm, I don't know. Someone said she doesn't want to talk to me tonight
Chorong- Honey...
Suho- I'm just kidding. I already bought it for you
Chorong- Ngeehee, thanks honey. I'm hanging up
Suho- No 381 for me?
Chorong- You can wait at home right?
Suho- But I want you to say it now
Chorong- Fine. I love you, Suho
Suho- I love you too, my baby

Chorong ends the call with a smile on her face. She looks at the clock, it's true. He just finished his lunch. She walks out from her room and smiles to the maids who are cleaning the hallway of the second floor. Two of them just walk out from Suho's room. Chorong shakes her head, he literally didn't bother about his messy room before going to work.

Chorong enters the elevator and heads downstairs. It's because some of the maids are cleaning the stairs carpet. Y'all know this is a damn mansion. Chorong smiles to the maids and walks to the garden. Chorong walks around the mansion until she hear a clunking sound at the backyard. She frowns.

Chorong- Auntie Jiwon?

Chorong walks into the kitchen by using the back door and realizes that no one's there. She frowns and looks around the kitchen. Did Mrs Ha come here just now? But Suho doesn't let she work today because she's not feeling well. Chorong checks Mrs Ha's room, she's still there.

Chorong- Wow. What a cute box

She walks to the granite counter and takes the fluffy pink box. She shakes it, trying to figure what's inside. As she open the box, her eyes widen in shock. She falls to the floor, screaming. Some of the maids, including Mrs Ha runs into the kitchen.

Mrs Ha- What's wrong, Chorong?
Chorong- That.. blood..
Mrs Ha- What?

Mrs Ha looks inside the box, screaming in shock. A torn picture of Chorong and Suho, red liquid that smells so awful with an old brown paper. With trembling hands, Mrs Ha unfolds the paper. She looks at the other younger maids. She reads what's written on the paper. A threat.

This is my first warning, Park Chorong. Leave him or you're going to see his blood pressure dropping down because of sharp knives or guns. You choose, Park Chorong.

Mrs Ha- Oh my God
Hani- Do you need any help, Mrs Ha?
Mrs Ha- Call Mr Kim right now. Ask him to come home. You two, take Ms Park to her room
Sohee- Will do, Mrs Ha

Sohee and Jiyeon help Chorong and they leave the kitchen. Mrs Ha looks at the box with a terrified look. She looks around, making sure no one see what happened just now. She walks to the backyard, trying to calm herself. 

Few minutes later, Suho's Ferrari enters the garage. He waits for the maids to open the door. He enters the big mansion and looks at the maids bowing in front of him. He turns to look at Mrs Ha and Hani. He frowns.

Suho- Hani, where's Chorong?
Hani- Ms Park is resting in her room
Suho- Take me upstairs

All of the maids bow to Suho, including Mrs Ha who Suho pretends to not see. He walks upstairs, tailing the young maid. He enters Chorong's room and sees her lying pale on her bed. It's good that she's still awake. Suho gives Hani a sign to leave him alone with Chorong. He hugs her.

Chorong- Hun..I'm scared
Suho- It's okay, I'm here for you. Now, tell me what happened?
Chorong- You should see it by yourself. It's so scary
Suho- Let's go to the kitchen. I really need to see it by myself 

Chorong nods her head weakly and takes Suho's hand as they walk out from the room. As they enter the kitchen, Chorong sees Mrs Ha. She looks worried. But, what makes her feel strange is when Suho doesn't ever bother to greet the older woman. Suho braves himself and walks to the granite counter. 

Suho- Do any of you see who sent this?

Suho asks with astern voice as he look at the maids. None of them dare to look at him in the eyes. Suho looks at Mrs Ha. He feels that woman is acting suspicious. Mrs Ha bows a bit at the master. Suho throws the box away.

Suho- Clear all of this by now!
Maids- Y.. yes sir
Suho- And, no one in this house has the right anymore to call me by my first name. Y'all should know your place

No one answers, all of them go back to work. Suho looks at Chorong as they both sit on the bed. Suho holds Chorong's hands, looking at her with a worried expression. Chorong smiles bitterly as she fixes Suho's messy hair. Suho hugs Chorong.

Suho- I'm sorry
Chorong- What for?
Suho- Because of me, you're now in danger. I'm sorry,I failed to protect you
Chorong- Honey, don't say sorry, please? It's obviously not your fault
Suho- But..
Chorong- No buts, okay? You look tired, let's rest

Suho and Chorong lie down on the bed, looking at each other. Chorong snuggles closer as she start to feel sleepy. Suho wraps his arms around Chorong's waist and both of them fall into a very deep slumber. What they don't know, something suspicious is happening inside the mansion.
