Chapter 31: Sacrifice

No One's POV

"Where do you think you're going?" 

Joohyun halted when she saw her cousin, Sooji standing in the hallway.

Joohyun who is a trained agent ever since she was a child is an outstanding agent ever since. However, due to her nature, her parents, their business partners and stakeholders abandoned her for her cousin. They made her the face of the RWK and doll as they prepare Sooji, who is chosen to lead the RWK. Due to this, many underestimates her, even her parents and thought that she was weak and can't fight, however she is just in the same league as Taeyong, maybe not better than Lee Seunggi but she's more powerful than her cousin.

Joohyun flashed a fake smile, "Sooji, it's been awhile, how was abroad?"

"It was very fun," Sooji answered. "How about you cousin, how have you been?"

"I was beyond fine, especially when I knew that you were failing to fulfill my responsibilities when I run away." Joohyun smiled which earned Sooji's glared. "When you came back I thought you've grown a little, but I spoke too soon didn't I? At the end, the only thing you got more than me is the favor from the Lees. Without that, you should've have been thrown out."

Sooji scoffed as she smiled, "What are you jealous of me?"

Joohyun smirked, "And why would I be jealous of someone who's clearly inferior than me?" Sooji's smile dropped. "Besides, I'm really thankful because for me, you're more of a doll than me, and that's all because of their favor to you."

"I see that you're still that bitch who's bitter at everything," Sooji glared.

Joohyun scoffed in disbelief, "Bitter at everything? Who? Me?" Joohyun chuckled in sarcasm. "I think you're mistaking that to yourself. Back then, you were always the one who was bitter because I had everything and you have nothing. Didn't you work hard to get my place? To get all I had? You should say thank you to me because if I took seriously that time, do you really think you could defeat me? You even accepted their suggestion to train abroad in attempt for you to get better than me, and I thought that too, but it turns out you didn't. In the end, it was the Lees favor that keeps you going and not your own."

"If you still me as the bitch 'who's bitter still at everything', then I still see you as the useless and pathetic bitch who still knows nothing," Joohyun added.

Sooji then disappeared in her sight, but Joohyun kept her guard as she close her eyes and feel her presence. 

Feeling her presence in her back, Joohyun immediately dodge her attack. She opened her eyes to see she was holding a knife, Joohyun used her left feet to trip her and made her out of balance which she half succeeded but Joohyun was able to take her knife from her.

Joohyun then faced her, "Hmm, I guess you did learn something... but still not enough."

Joohyun this time attack her with a knife, pointed in her head which Sooji avoided but Joohyun has better plan in mind as she used her foot again to out balance her. She encircled her right leg to her right leg and pulled it which really made her out balance this time, causing Sooji to fall in the floor. 

Joohyun put away the knife, since she doesn't like using sharp things, even if she's up against people she doesn't like.

"Is that all you've got?" Joohyun asked as she watches her cousin stand back to her own two feet. "Makes me pity the Lees for sending you abroad because you didn't learn much. You're still amateur and novice."

"Shut up!"

"Even if I did, it's true," Joohyun said in a matter of fact. "And your first attack, that was a very poor choice because back attacks are so overrated these days, it's practically used everyday and every agent. And I'm pretty sure you suffered to me back then because that doesn't work on me."
