A gunshot could be heard. and a young woman was lying on the ground, blood streaming out of her. people started screaming, but i knew that if i moved i would die to. "green light"

What he doesn't know: she's the girl he's been searching for all his life. They were strangers once. Enemies now. But love? Love doesn't care about blood or revenge. Because sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind forgets... And when the truth comes out- Will love survive, or will it all burn again?

Taking the wrong idea immediately, Min-Rhee shuffled back a little bit, her eyes wide. "O-Oh! Oh, no.. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression, sir, but I actually have a boyfrie-" She shut herself the fuck up, the moment he opened a briefcase revealing stacks of neatly arranged cash. Taking the wrong idea yet again, Min-Rhee scoffed in offence. "Sir, I don't know who you take me for but I am not a prostitute, mkay?" Gaining no response from the man, Min-Rhee continued speaking. "I won't sell my body to you. If you're really that desperate, there's a club around the corner. It's hard to miss..
