The room remained silent for a couple of seconds. Father Song was examining his son's face for any possible lie on his expression. Nothing. Woo Bin had an amazing talent to hide the truth behind his eyes, yet he couldn't deny the struggle to hold that pokerface with his own dad, the one who knows him perfectly. He was a lie detector and no one could escape from that fearful gaze that made anyone's eyes give up easily under his stare pressure. There was no moment in the past that Woo Bin wouldn't get caught, but of course, that was in his childhood. He learned through time and "discipline" that nothing could getaway from his father, so after few years of having the same hard lesson, the Don Juan changed to be a man and not a troublemaker like his own father would describe him.
"I mean, ex-girlfriend. A crazy one" he tried to cautiously modificate his own words. Maybe he was saving the monkey's skin but a lie like that was too much for him. It made him wonder at that moment why would he chose to say that; did he really wanted that?. He could have simply said something else, but why this?.
"I see..." father Song kept looking at him like if he was still analyzing his facial expression until he heaved a sigh.
"Woo Bin, I don't care about your love life, just try to not mix up both because you know what could happen to one of those girls..." That cold look in his eyes, that careless aspect was what the Don Juan hated most.
Closing his eyes and bringing down his head, he couldn't think of anything else but what happen in the past. There was no need to remember a bad memory his own dad build. Every time he would mention those words, the Don Juan knew it was a clear reminder of what could happen to the ones close to him. Nobody knew, just him, of that dark day, and that was what he felt most ashamed of of his life.
"Are we clear?" his dad asked sounding threatening. Woo Bin, with his body holding a firm posture, nodded.
Thereafter his father dismissed him from the room, giving the order to take the day free for today. It surprised Woo Bin but he was not willing to ask why, not seeing or interact with his father today was the best to forget about what happened. Now, all he wanted to do was to talk to somebody about this, and he knew who wasn't working at this time.
"I need to find a job" those were her first words when she wakes up. Jae Kyung acknowledged she was twenty-four years now and each and everyone of her friends had jobs at this point. Even when it was entirely dissimilar her situation from the commoners, she considered herself as a lazy and boring person with nothing to do but spend money that was from her parents. It cause her to feel ashamed; everyone had a busy life but her, who was always free with nothing to do. Also, she wanted to have an independent life, demonstrate she could live by herself no matter where or how.
Getting up from bed, she was resolved to find it today without knowing what she could be good at. She shook her head and tried not to think negative of herself, besides, everyone HAD to accept her, she was... No. Hitting her slightly hard, there was no way she could say who she was, that was like cheating. It wasn't fair at all, with that being said everyone could surely pick her. But that way she was also depending on her parents by using her famous name. No, she was going to act like a middle-class person.
After getting ready and having some breakfast, she went outside to take a taxi. No more limousine for her.
A nice man stopped and as soon as she got in she gave him orders like every time she would get in a car. The man looked at her from the rear-view mirror with an unfriendly stare but as soon as she perceives it, he went back to look at the road and drive. There was one place she was determined to go first believing that she could get a job without lots of efforts. In her mind she planned how to shove it on her friend's face that she was just as hardworking and normal like them. It made her smile that thought and even more when she was approaching the place. The taxi man got impressed by the location and soon thought she was just another crazy girl trying to get in to this place. Jae Kyung quickly told him to stop at the entrance of the gates and she got out. Before she could keep walking, the loud honk of the taxi stopped her and she looked back.
"Where's my money?" the man asked a bit agitated almost presuming she was a thief. The monkey looked at him confused for a moment but then smiles and nods.
"Oh yes, I have seen this in movies" she says very confident. "Here" she gives him a one hundred dollar and he got shocked by this, not being able to say a word.
"Is this enough?" she asks with a bit of worried after looking at his face thinking this was an offensive pay. He nods slowly and she smiles after that, turning around and heading towards the gates. There were two man standing on guard. Jae Kyung quickly walks in front of them and they look at her with a serious glare before recognizing who she was. There was no one who didn't know her after what happened years ago with her wedding.
"Can I help you?" one of the man asks with a serious tone.
"I would like to get in" it sounded more like an order than asking for permission. The two of them looked at each other with a slight insecurity of what to do or say, but one of them nodded and took a step further.
"Let me give a call" he says and takes his phone out of the pocket. It ring for long until someone answered.
"Master, there's someone here who wants to enter" the man said almost like a murmur, not wanting for her to listen the conversation. On the other line, it was asked who was the person.
"Ha Jae Kyung, sir" he looks at her from up and down while saying it, but she didn't see him, she was more concentrated on those gates opening.
The call ended soon enough and this is when Jae Kyung noticed. "Okay, open the gates now" she said very happy giving some steps further, but he got in her way and stopped her. She didn't know now what was going on.
"Master said no, to never let you pass" as soon as he said this her face went to complete shock and anger for how rude he could be. How dare him not let her enter!
"You have to let me enter" she said and tried to walk in the direction of the gate but the man stopped her. She immediately dodges him and pushes the gate but before it could be totally open, the two of them grabbed her from the arm and walked her far from the entrance.
"Let me go" she says right when they let go of her arms.
"This is unfair" she grits her teeth and grunts. She wasn't going to give up until having him face to face. It was hugely obvious he was playing with her.
Walking a bit far away from the entrance where the two man couldn't see her, she glanced up the wall that separared her from him before looking at both sides for any witness. This was the only way to get there, but was it right to do it? She thought about it for a single second and shrugged. She wasn't called monkey for nothing, that was for sure. Now she was going to demonstrate her skills.
After clambering up the wall, she stood on the top for some seconds admiring how good she was at this before the two man of entrance noticed her. As a spy, she threw herself quickly to the ground from the top of the wall expecting it to not hurt, but it was totally different from movies; the guys would always result harmless or without pain, and that's when she understood it was all a dirty lie. The only thing that made her body move as soon as possible was the adrenaline she felt when scary rottweiler were approaching, wanting to eat her alive. The mansion was meters away from her and she didn't know if she could made it. The only thought that was going through her mind besides of being chased by two hungry dogs, was of how much she wanted to murder that stupid boy. She sentenced him to death.
Running away from the dogs wasn't the only obstacle that was made. When she immediately stepped on the grass near the mansion, the sprinklers came out to join the party and soon enough it was hard to run there as the area was becoming muddy. Jae Kyung cursed a lot under her breath for such despicable ideas of him. He was unquestionably Satan's son, the definition of evil.
Being chased by a dog, getting wet and muddy wasn't what she expected when looking for a single and simple job. But here she was, feeling like she was at a battlefield where she didn't know if she could survive.
At last she run up the stairs and found some people working there holding their laugh while she just tried to enter and leave the dogs behind, but her heels betrayed her as one of them broke and she fell to the floor. Looking to the enormous closed doors of the mansion while laying down, she held up her hand in sign of how close she was of surviving. Suddenly, she heard a fast breathing close to her. Turning her head was what she most fear as it was better not to look at those who were about to eat her all. But then, another noise was made, it was a crying one. At that moment she decided it was time to take some courage and turn to face them. When she did, it surprised her how the two rottweilers rapidly begin to lick her face and jump over her. So this was why this people were laughing, she thought to herself while happily smiling for how loveable the dogs could be. However, someone needed to pay for all this trouble.
Getting up from the floor, she went right away to the inside of the mansion, searching for the devil. "Where could that demon go?" she asked to herself while standing in front of the living room, thinking. An answer to that question came immediately. Slowly, she climbed up the stairs trying to not make any kind of noise. Evil thoughts rush to her mind of how she could torture him. She tried to hold her sinister laugh but it was almost impossible.
Finally, she stood in front of a door; his bedroom. She could feel his diabolic presence inside, perceive his shaky moves, smell his fear. Oh, he was about to experience the worst encounter of his life now.
The door groaned at the hinges when being opened. The creaking sound of it was something to feel scary about and mostly to the one who she knew was hiding. "Come out, come out wherever you are" she almost sang with a low voice.
The bed was shaking a bit and she knew why. It was time for her revenge now. Slowly, she stood beside the bed for a second before getting to her knees to finally surprise him. When she did, it was unexpected what happened next. He was definitely there but...
"Take some glitter!" he said out loud before throwing glitter on her face and getting out from under his bed, running away as far as possible.
"GU JUN PYO!" she shouted quickly while trying to take off the glitter from her eyes and tongue. After that she got up and went after him as fast as she could. Standing now at the top of the stairs, she saw him going down and screamed furiously. She had to get him no matter what.
Without thinking it too much, she glanced down and jumped. Thankfully, it wasn't that high for her, and even if she could hurt herself while doing this dangerous stunt, she was more satisfied on capturing that evil Jun Pyo.
He clearly didn't see this coming as Jae Kyung landed on his back, making him disable to move any part of his body to defend himself. "Yah! Are you out of your mind!?" he could still not believe what she just did.
"Get off of me, you fat monkey!" he order her while laying down with his cheeks all squashed against the cold floor.
"What did you just said!?" she twisted his arms and he screamed in pain.
"What do you want, monkey?" he shouted very angry trying to roll to the side to get her off of me, but the attempt didn't work as she was now holding his two arms.
"I want a job" her voice changed a bit into one more calmed.
"A job?" he roughly could talk with the pressure of her body on top of him. For one moment he thought he heard wrong.
"Yes. Do me an interview. Oh, and I want a high position" she clarified in a threatening voice.
"What!?" he let out a chuckle as he couldn't believe what he was saying.
"Why would I want a monkey working for me?" he received a punch on his back right after he said. Jae Kyung was definitively offended and mad at this comment. But then, he kept silence for a couple of seconds. Working for him... now that he thought about it, maybe it wasn't a bad idea. A smile slowly appeared on his face, a devilish one, as he imagined of many ways possible to torment her.
"What if I say no?" Jun Pyo begin to play with her, but oh boy! he was totally a masochist.
"Then this will happen" standing up, she started to pull his hair so he could get up while he was crying in pain, pleading her to stop now. Then, right before she was about to pull him out of the mansion, both of them stood shock to see who was in front of them just a few feet away.
Standing there and having witnessing everything, he stood motionless for a seco nd before turning his stare into a serious one, one that showed he didn't care. Taking a sigh, he took out the phone out of his pocket and dialed someone. Jae Kyung and Jun Pyo were still standing there not knowing what to do or say.
"Hello, Geum Jan Di?" his voice sounded very relax while looking at both of them still in the same position as he found them. The leader of the F4 quickly reacted to this knowing now what his supposed friend was doing. The monkey, on the other hand, was a bit surprised for this and stared at him a little longer before realizing this was going to affect her too.
"Yah! You... blabbermouth!" Jun Pyo pointed at him very angry.
"We weren't doing anything" she said very scared and waving her hands from side to side saying no. But he didn't care and pretended they weren't there.
"There's something here you should see" he says very serious and waits for her response. Then, he nods with his eyes closed as if he was disappointed. "Yes, it has to do with Gu Jun Pyo"
Jun Pyo quickly told him to shut up but he wouldn't. That's when the monkey screamed very furious. "Stop right there" she demanded and went to run after him. Jun Pyo did the same, both screaming as they were about to attack him. Woo Bin's eyes widen as he didn't expect them to do this kind of move on him. Closing his phone, he swiftly turned around and tried to run away but it was too late; Jae Kyung jumped on his back while Jun Pyo tried to hold his legs.
"You are not going anywhere until you give us that phone" the monkey yelled while slightly hitting the back of his head. The Don Juan tried to move but such efforts made him fall to the floor with Jae Kyung landing on top of his back like with Jun Pyo.
"You grab it, I'll hold him" she said with very serious holding his arms while Gu Jun Pyo went to look for the phone inside of his pocket.
"Yah!" Woo Bin said very disturbed by how his friend carelessly placed his hand inside the pocket. After finding it, the leader of the F4 sent a message to Jan Di explaining what really happened without her knowing it was really him. However, when he finished, he started to search through his phone and found something that surprised him. He threw the phone to the floor, right beside Jae Kyung and left without saying another word. When she glanced to what was shown on the screen of the phone, she quickly released Woo Bin's arms and took the phone in her hands. A hand immediately went to cover her mouth as she tried to supers the tears. Woo Bin got up but didn't notice what she was looking at or that she even had his phone. Turning around and with a serious face she handed the phone to him and walked away without delay. His face turned pale when he looked at what she just saw. The expression on his eyes reflected how shocked he was at this very moment. Not knowing what to say, he just let Jae Kyung go.
