Thank you for the reviews. I finally updated in a decent amount of time. Um... sorry for the cliffhanger? As I said in the last chapter, things are getting darker for a bit.
If there was one thing that Detective Heo Saeng Jun had never understood, despite his own background, it was that of the rich and elite. How they can run in circles with so many and yet still fall to some of the habits that were often considered for the poor and desperate. He also knew that sometimes revenge did horrible things to people and would result in horrible things happening to others. He was no stranger to the news of Kang Hee Soo being embroiled in a cold case surrounding the mysterious car crash that had claimed the life of Gu Shan Gi. It seemed a bit suspicious that she had managed to make bail considering all the charges against her, but now to find her body like this he wondered if it was a means of revenge for all she had done.
The only problem was, that there was no way they would ever find evidence of either of the four richest families in Korea being involved in this. Despite what was known of the Songs, they never went anywhere near drugs of any sort. In fact, many of his department's own drug busts came from assistance from Song Lee Bin and his connections. The Gus had every reason to strike at Kang Hee Soo, the truth of the matter was they were handling everything legally and letting the justice system handle the woman and seemed more than pleased to let her rot in jail and live their lives without even thinking of her. The Yun and So families would simply follow suit.
So why were Saeng Jun, his partner, other members of his division, and the coroner now standing in Kang Hee Soo's hotel room taking pictures of her dead body and the drug paraphernalia surrounding her body, which included a half-filled syringe still in her arm. Saeng Jun frowned and walked over her legs and knelt to study something that did not look quite right.
"What is it?" Saeng Jun's partner asked.
Before answering, the man reached over with gloved fingers and plucked the vial near her head, and put it into a bag before rising as he sealed it. "This does not look like any drug we are aware of or might be in our system," he said.
"You think it's something new on the streets?" Kim Soo Jong asked.
Saeng Jun shook his head before handing the evidence off to another officer who added it to other items they had collected. "That or she was experimenting with things she shouldn't," he said.
"You don't sound too convinced of that," Soo Jong said.
"Considering who she was and there was never evidence that she would be into drugs, it seems unlikely this is an accidental overdose," Saeng Jun commented.
"You know better than anyone that those you least suspect could be involved in drugs," Soo Jong said with a tone born from years of working with the man at his side. One would not necessarily call it gentle, but it was not the firm matter-of-fact tone he often adopted. Saeng Jun was thankful at times for that since he did not need the reminder of why he had become a police officer after his military enlistment.
"While true, this is different," Saeng Jun said. "And even if she was into drugs, my guess is not quite this hard. Not when she was pretty adamant about getting back all she had before her arrest."
"Do you think the Gus or the Songs had something to do with this?" a rookie cop nearby asked out of the blue as he stood with the coroner's photographer.
"The Songs never sullied themselves with drugs, not even in their shadier dealings," Saeng Jun said. "And the Gus were simply happy to have Kang Hee Soo out of their life, waiting for the justice system to do their job."
"But that same system let her out," the rookie said.
"Saeng Jun has a point," Soo Jong said. "Besides, they have too much to lose to be behind this because both families would be the first suspects under the circumstances."
"Unfortunately, we still can't rule them out," another cop said. "Not without concrete proof. And we'll be looking into every connection this woman has had."
Soo Jong glanced over at Saeng Jun as he studied Kang Hee Soo's body. "You seem lost in thought," he noted.
"I understand why they are considered suspects, but my gut is telling me they had no part in this," Saeng Jun said as he studied the scene. "But this isn't a simple overdose either."
"What are your thoughts?" Soo Jong asked, used to his partner's instincts kicking in.
"I admit I am not entirely sure," he said. "But something tells me this was done to shut her up."
"You think the Gus and Songs after all?" Soo Jong asked.
Saeng Jun shook his head. "That is the one thing I can say with certainty," he said quietly. "They weren't responsible for this. But I suspect, whoever is, is going to do everything they can to throw suspicion at them because they have the motivation to get rid of her." His eyes drifted to where he watched Ku Yoon Gi walk into the room with his own partner, their eyes looking over the scene. Saeng Jun carefully watched how schooled Yoon Gi's features were. The man was normally not this level-headed in cases like this, which was surprising to see him show up. The man dealt with certain cases well, but whenever ones that dealt with women or drugs popped up, he got squirrely. So why was this scene different?
"Saeng Jun?" Soo Jong asked.
"Notice something different about Ku Yoon Gi?" he asked quietly, pulling out a pad to act as if he was taking notes about the scene to keep his head down. He started jotting down other notes, mainly those about suspicious behavior.
"Besides being surprised he's here? He seems a bit too..." Soo Jong trailed off as if searching for the word.
"Calm? Collected?" Soo Jong said. "Something he normally is not on the best of days, but especially at scenes like this."
"Exactly," Saeng Jun said. "The only time he's ever calm is when dealing with anything from Park Joong Young."
"Or that worthless son of his," Soo Jong murmured. Saeng Jun merely hummed in agreement. He glanced at Saeng Jun. "Do you have other thoughts in that big brain of yours?"
Saeng Jun smirked slightly. It was a running joke between the two since Saeng Jun, despite having an affluent upbringing, had some of the highest grades when attending Shinhwa. Something that was seen as odd was that he had chosen the profession he had and was often brought up by those such as Ku Yoon Gi.
"Let's just keep an eye on him," Saeng Jun finally said. "Especially any murmurings of laying this on the Gus, Songs, Yuns, or Sos. This seems the type of thing that might pop up as a convenient way to bring them down."
"You still in contact with Kim Ju Won and Gu Jun Hee?" Soo Jong asked.
Saeng Jun had to keep from barking a laugh. No one knew just how close the connection was between Kim Jun Won and Heo Saeng Jun, but Soo Jong did know he had some sort of relationship with them. "I'll reach out to Ju Won and tell him to be on alert," he said. "With Yoon Gi involved and looking so smug, I have a sneaking suspicion we may see an attempt to bring in Gus or Songs for questioning over this."
Jun Hee moaned as she leaned back against her husband and his fingers worked at the knots of her neck. It had been a long day and she knew it was not over just yet, not when she was waiting for some reports to be sent her way regarding everything going on with So Yi Jeong. Everything now seemed to be complicated by the release of Kang Hee Soo.
"You normally have this reaction in other ways than just a simple massage," Ju Won teased her as he pressed a kiss to her hair.
"Well, I have missed you," Jun Hee teased in return. "But I admit I don't know if I have the energy for anything."
"Let me do all the work," Ju Won teased even further as he nuzzled her neck. Jun Hee's eyes fluttered shut as she started to give in to her husband when her phone rang. A groan escaped both people when soon after Ju Won's beeped indicating a new message.
"Once some things start to settle, we are taking some time away to cut ourselves off from the world to just spend it together," Ju Won grumbled against his wife's skin.
Running her fingers through his hair, Jun Hee turned and pressed a kiss to his temple. "Very soon," she said. "Especially now that we've decided when we are returning here permanently." She huffed as she pressed another kiss to his temple and rose when her voicemail pinged.
Grabbing her phone, she walked to her office in the house she and her husband had recently purchased that wasn't far from the mansion she had grown up in. She looked at the text that had been left for her. Her eyes widened as she read what was sent before she was hurrying to sit at her desk and booted up her laptop impatiently before opening the email mentioned in the text.
Scanning the email, her blood began to boil at the implications that were all there and her jaw tightened. It was all the evidence that she needed to show that Yi Jeong had been set up by being drugged and who had drugged him. She fully intended on ensuring the little bitch was thoroughly handled so she could not destroy anyone else's life again.
Printing off the results of the toxicology she had been sent and making a copy of the video she had been sent, she forwarded the video to one of her closest friends requesting the necessary information she needed. Jun Hee closed her eyes a moment to calm the anger boiling in her gut over how this entire situation had almost destroyed her sister as well as Yi Jeong. However, something was bothering her in regards to the entire thing. She knew that Ginger was not intelligent enough to have pulled this entire situation off on her own.
Reaching for her phone once more, Jun Hee called in a few favors of people she knew to look deeper into the situation. She needed to find out who was assisting Ginger. She was not quite ready to call in her uncle's resources, because that could potentially yield a blood bath because of the implications of what was done to Yi Jeong. She was only thankful that she was able to discover that Yi Jeong had, in fact, not slept with Ginger. Because under the circumstances if he had, she would hang the bitch up by her toes for rape.
Once she had finished sending off what she needed to, she gracefully rose to head back to her husband in the hopes of salvaging the rest of the night with him. As soon as she entered the living room and saw the look on his face as he spoke on the phone, she knew those hopes would be dashed immediately. Setting her own phone down on the coffee table, she waited.
"Thank you for letting me know. I know it'll be difficult, but can you keep me in the loop and give me a heads up if things go south?" Ju Won asked. He nodded before speaking again. "Thanks, Saeng Jun." He hung up with a sigh.
"Saeng Jun?" Jun Hee asked, worry lacing her voice. "That was obviously not a standard call from your cousin."
"I wish it were," Ju Won said. "He was giving me a heads up. Kang Hee Soo is dead."
Jun Hee's eyes widened. "What?" she breathed out.
"For all intents and purposes, it looks like a drug overdose," he said. "But she was not exactly known for drug usage, plus Saeng Jun believes suspicion might be put upon our family or upon the Songs to eliminate her in light of everything with your eomma and Ga Eul."
"The Songs have never dabbled in drugs, in fact-" Jun Hee started before she was stopped by her husband.
"I know that love, as do most of the force. But there are murmurings and concerns that some may be in the pockets of others and could be looking to pin it on them," he said.
"We need to let them know," Jun Hee mentioned. "I am sure they will be told of her death but..."
"I'll handle that. There isn't anything we can do tonight," Ju Won said. He walked over to her and put his arms around her. "How are you with this news?"
"You know I didn't give a damn about her," she said. "Jun Pyo is one thing, but I never liked her."
"I know, but she was still-," Ju Won started.
"She was never a mother figure for me," she quickly said. "I never saw her as such. Of anyone, it may actually be me they will look at for her death. I made it no secret, especially after discovering she had something to do with eomma's death and Ga Eul being out of our lives so long, that I wanted her punished. They may see me, more than appa as the number one suspect."
"Please," Ju Won said. He grinned when Jun Hee arched an eyebrow at him. "You would have been far more subtle than faking a drug overdose for that woman while maximizing the torture."
Jun Hee snorted and leaned into her husband's embrace. "Yes, well, that is true but the fact is they probably will look to me first," she said. "But I am fine with that. Let them think I did it, because of anyone it would be me. And maybe it'll make Ginger think twice about what she's done, especially if what I have put into action doesn't give her a clue."
"I think I missed something," Ju Won said, confusion in his voice.
Jun Hee lifted her head to look at him. "Choi Jin Hee drugged Yi Jeong," she said. "And staged it to look like the two of them slept together."
"They didn't though?" Ju Won asked, anger slipping into his tone.
"Thankfully security camera footage was found to show that he kept shoving her away," Jun Hee said. "Otherwise, I would be going to prison for murdering the little bitch."
"Even in the room?" Ju Won questioned curiously.
"No, but the real security footage shows she was in the room long enough to take the pictures she needed before leaving, and it was obvious she was pissed she didn't get what she wanted, which means Yi Jeong, even drugged, kept shoving her away," Jun Hee said.
"The real security footage..." Ju Won trailed off. "That means-."
"Someone was paid well to doctor the footage that would have ended up in Woo Bin or any of the F4's hands because they knew who they needed to hide from," Jun Hee said. "Thankfully, I know a few better hackers than the one that did their work. And everything will come out tomorrow the same way this supposed scandal did."
"Right on the screen at Shinhwa," Ju Won surmised.
"Exactly."
A sense of deja vu was taking over Ga Eul as she entered the school the next morning. She glanced at Sunny, who was walking beside her. The other woman looked at her, shaking her head as she felt it as well, yet did not know what was causing the feeling.
"What in the world is going on?" Jan Di asked as she approached them. She grunted as someone pushed past her to clamor towards the front hallway of the school where the screen was set up and obviously playing something intriguing.
"It's just like that morning with Yi Jeong and Ginger," Ga Eul said quietly.
"God, I hope that's not it again," Jan Di said.
"Don't worry, it would appear that she couldn't bed So Yi Jeong even after drugging him," one of the female students said, snickering with her friends.
"What?" Jan Di asked. The girl waved towards the screen and the three women pushed forward more to look at the screen. Staring at them in bold letters proclaimed that Ginger was no better than a man who drugs women and attempts to assault them. The headline rotated to a video showing Ginger and another person with Yi Jeong, even as he tried pushing Ginger away at the hotel where the images of them supposedly sleeping together had been taken. It was easy to see in the video that there was a timestamp that showed there was no way Ginger could have slept with Yi Jeong as she claimed since it was less than fifteen minutes after entering the room that she came out again and was obviously pissed. They still could not see the face of her accomplice.
"What the hell is..." Ginger asked, her words trailing off as she caught sight of the screen, her eyes widening. She swallowed hard as everyone began to watch her, some glaring and whispering cruelly.
"You drugged me?" Yi Jeong's voice caused everyone else to silence, their gazes turning to where the F4 now stood. "I knew it. I knew there was no way I could have had sex with you."
"No!" Ginger said. "This... none of this is true. We did have sex! I didn't do anything to you, you drank on your own!"
"That video is pretty incriminating," Woo Bin said, his tone dangerous.
"I was helping him to the room before we-," Ginger started to protest.
"Not that one," Ji Hu said before he nodded to the screen. "That one."
Ginger spun around and noticed the video had changed, only this time it showed her pulling a vial from her purse before she was pouring the contents of it into Yi Jeong's drink. Her face paled and she felt a cold sweat forming on her skin as angry whispers started again. "No," she said. "I... no I didn't-."
The feral sounding snarl came out of nowhere and before anyone could grasp what was happening, Ga Eul had dropped her bag and launched herself at Ginger, beginning to beat the other girl with every bit of strength she had while she yelled.
"You stupid bitch! You drugged him?!" Ga Eul said. "How dare you! You are no better than some rapist!" Her entire body was lashing out at Ginger, hitting anything she could in reach. It was as if she had no control over what she was doing through the anger she felt.
"Ga Eul!" Yi Jeong hurried forward to grab the woman. He knew she was a spitfire, but now in a rage, he was finding it hard to even get her away from Ginger. He turned to look at the other three members of the F4. "A little help!" Those words spurred the other three into action and they moved forward to help pry Ga Eul off Ginger. Jan Di and Sunny moved into the fray as well, especially when Ginger got enough of her faculties back to start fighting back against Ga Eul and Miranda attempted to support her friend.
"You bitch! How dare you touch me!" Ginger snapped, reaching for Ga Eul, grunting as Sunny shoved her back harshly. Her heels made her stumble back against Miranda, both women falling to the ground.
"Oh, I dare you slithering snake!" Ga Eul said, trying to break free of Yi Jeong's hold. "Let me go!" She continued wriggling against his hard frame.
"Yi Jeong, get her out of here and somewhere she can cool down," Jun Pyo said. "We'll handle this!" The man didn't need to be told twice as he simply shifted and picked Ga Eul up into his arms to carry her away, even as she continued to fight to get away from him and over to Ginger once more. He was going to have some bruises from her fighting most likely.
The rest of the F4, along with Sunny and Jan Di, were all breathing heavier as they waited for Ga Eul's voice to fade as Yi Jeong disappeared with her before turning to look at Ginger and Miranda as they tried to right themselves. The moment Ginger was on her feet, she tried to go after Sunny for shoving her, but immediately bounced off of Song Woo Bin's hard chest, finding herself landing on her backside once more. As she lifted her eyes to him, she saw nothing but a wall of pissed-off chaebols. A cold shudder ran up her spine as she realized how much trouble she was in now.
"If that is on the screen, it means my noona uncovered what you did," Jun Pyo said in a too-calm voice. A smirk crossed the features of the three men as Ginger visibly paled as she realized nothing she could do or say was going to convince anyone that what they had seen was false. "And that means your punishment is far from over because something tells me she won't let this go as a mere embarrassment."
"Jun Pyo is right," Woo Bin said. "It was one thing when you dared to target Ga Eul. But now you not only drugged Yi Jeong, but you attempted something so heinous that if it had been a man that had drugged a woman, he'd be facing a long time in prison."
"Nothing happened! Is that what you want to hear?" Ginger demanded, her voice starting to sound panicked. "We didn't have sex as I implied!"
"Obviously not due to lack of trying," Ji Hu said darkly. "But as Yi Jeong told us, even falling down drunk he'd never lay a finger on you."
"Does it even occur to you that you effectively assaulted Yi Jeong?" Woo Bin asked her. His eyes lifted to Miranda. "Did you know what she did?"
Miranda was quick to shake her head. "No, I thought they slept together, she told me they had," she quickly said.
"You bitch!" Ginger said. "I thought you were my friend!"
"I thought you were better than drugging someone!" Miranda said back. "Despite that he was obviously drunk, I actually was happy you finally got what you wanted! We know his reputation for drinking and sleeping with people, I just thought you finally got part of what you wanted before you could actually get him to care for you! I never knew you'd stoop to something like drugging the person you claim to love!"
Ginger screeched and tried to get up but tripped on her own heels even as Miranda backed up, disgust written all over her face. The other girl's eyes darted and she saw a pair of angry dark eyes in the back of the crowd. She would get herself out of this somehow, even if it meant admitting Sung Ho's part in this.
"I didn't-," Ginger started. She almost choked on her words as she saw the flash of a phone lift and she saw a picture of her mother on the screen, her back to the window of the kitchen she was in. What had Ginger stopping her words was the obvious barrel of a gun pointing at the window directly at her mother's back. She knew if she spoke another word, her mother would be killed.
"You didn't what?" Ji Hu demanded. "Think you'd get caught?" Ginger merely shook her head before she managed to get to her feet before she kicked off her shoes and pushed through the crowd to take off.
"You can't just let her run away!" Jan Di said. The crowd tried to close in but Ginger was faster than they expected.
"She won't get far," Woo Bin said. "Even if she gets away, Jun Hee will have people looking for her to bring her to justice. At least now we know the truth of that night."
"Not entirely," Ji Hu said, looking at the video again and the faceless individual that was with her.
"Should we go find Yi Jeong and Ga Eul?" Jan Di wondered.
"They should probably talk alone," Ji Hu said.
"So Yi Jeong put me down this instant!" Ga Eul was demanding as she wiggled in Yi Jeong's arms as he carried her away. However, he was silent as he walked until they were far enough away before he finally set her down.
"I knew you were a spitfire, but damn," Yi Jeong said.
"That stupid bitch drugged you!" Ga Eul proclaimed hotly. "How can you just walk away and not let me finish what I started?!"
"As much as I loved watching you beat the hell out of her, that isn't going to change what it was she did," Yi Jeong said. "It's more important, now, to figure out who was assisting her as well so it can be put behind us."
"She drugged you, Yi Jeong," Ga Eul said. "She purposely drugged you with the intent to coerce you into having sex with her, but obviously you didn't..." Ga Eul's words trailed off as the realization hit her that Yi Jeong did not have sex with Ginger, had no desire even in a drugged and drunken state. Just as he had claimed. A half-sob bubbled in her throat and she covered her mouth.
"Ga Eul, what-," Yi Jeong immediately moved towards her, concerned.
"You didn't have sex with her," she said, her voice partially muffled by her hand. "All this time I thought... I thought..."
Yi Jeong immediately drew her to his chest, cupping the back of her head as pressed her face into his chest and her arms wrapped tightly around his waist. He said nothing at first as he simply held her, pressing his lips into her hair. He felt his heartache at the relief he heard in her sobs. It made him hurt because he knew that all this time she had actually thought he would hurt her like that, but now she knew the truth. He waited until she had started to calm down before he actually spoke.
"I'm no saint," he said against her hair. "I admit that. I admit I have had many a night where I got stupidly drunk and slept with someone, but I never would touch Ginger. I never would have before, but especially not after meeting you."
"Why... why me?" Ga Eul asked. She lifted her head as he pulled back, his hands cupping her face as his thumbs brushed at the tears that slipped onto her skin.
"Because... I love you," Yi Jeong said. Ga Eul's breath caught in her throat. "I've been an idiot to not tell you and I almost ruined everything because I thought I saw you and Ji Hu kiss that night. That's how she was able to drug my drink. But I love you, Gu Ga Eul. I need you to know that now because I can't and refuse to let you walk away from me. I... the only way I could ever walk away from you is if you don't feel-."
"I love you," Ga Eul cut him off. "That's... that's why it hurt so much that day when I thought..." She swallowed, covering his hands with her own. "That's why Ji Hu and I didn't kiss. I couldn't knowing my heart belongs to you."
A soft moan escaped Yi Jeong as she finished before he could not hold back anymore and he lowered his head to press his lips to hers. He wanted to devour her, but the moment their lips met he took his time massaging her lips with his own, his tongue brushing against her. Even as her lips parted and their kiss deepened, he continued to taste her slowly as he held her face in his hands. Her own hands moved to his shoulders and down his arms until they rested at his waist, returning the kiss without hesitation. The only thing that caused them to part after a moment was the need for air. Yi Jeong pressed his forehead against hers, their breath mingling as they breathed together.
"I'm not letting you go, Gu Ga Eul," Yi Jeong said. "But I'm also afraid that I might hurt you."
"We might hurt each other," Ga Eul admitted. "Love has no guarantees. All we can do is move forward together." Yi Jeong simply smiled before pressing his lips to hers once more, eagerly tasting her as she returned the kiss. Had they been more aware of their surroundings, they would have felt the boiling anger from the person that had walked up on them as he sought out his prey.
Ginger had disappeared from the school and no one knew where she was. Gossip had started throughout the morning wondering where she had gone and if she would be caught. The end of the school day could not come soon enough for Ga Eul as she simply wanted to go find the F4 and spend time hanging out, knowing now that the mystery of that night with Yi Jeong and Ginger had been mostly solved. She had pulled out her phone to text thanks to her sister when she saw she had a few different messages from her sister, uncle, and father.
"Are you really going to forgive him as if he has done no wrong?" The dark, angry voice made Ga Eul jump from its unexpected presence. She turned and saw Sung Ho leaning against the nearby pillar that led out of the school before it opened towards the parking lot where the students' cars were.
"He didn't," Ga Eul said. "Ginger drugged him and tried to make everyone think they had sex."
"But he obviously was still heavily drinking for her to be able to," Sung Ho said. "Which means he probably had every intention of having sex with someone that night because that's what he does."
"Yi Jeong has admitted that he isn't a saint," Ga Eul said. "But he loves me and he wants to be with me. I've made no secret how I feel about him."
"So he bats his eyes and flashes those dimples at you and you fall for it like every other girl?" Sung Ho demanded. "Just like that?"
"Look, Sung Ho," Ga Eul said. "I told you from the moment you first tried to ask me to go out with you that I had feelings for Yi Jeong. Even as you kept asking me after everyone thought he had sex with Ginger, I hesitated, because my feelings didn't just go away. I think I've made it pretty clear that I only see you as a friend."
"A friend?" Sung Ho asked before scoffing. "Oh no, there is more between us than just friendship."
"If you thought there was, then I apologize for ever making you think that, but I know for a fact that I told you how I felt," Ga Eul said. "If you can't accept my feelings for Yi Jeong, then maybe it's best if we do not talk to each other for a while." She started to backpedal when Sung Ho advanced, his long legs bringing him close to her fast before his hand grasped her upper arm.
"You don't get to make that decision," Sung Ho said. "I have been patient with you, Ga Eul. I have bided my time, taking the pace you set, but I am done being patient."
"Let go of me Park Sung Ho," Ga Eul said firmly. "I told you I am not interested."
Sung Ho smirked darkly. "You will be," he said. "I am a better man than So Yi Jeong could ever hope to be and I refuse to lose you to him."
"That's not your choice!" Ga Eul said, struggling against his hold.
"You think so?" Sung Ho said. He shifted and started walking towards the SUV that was pulling up, dragging Ga Eul by the arm. She immediately started fighting against his hold, reaching up to dig her nails into his hand. A gasp escaped her when Sung Ho turned and backhanded her with his free hand. Ga Eul lifted her shocked face to him, her hand touching her now bloody lip where it had split against her teeth.
"You shouldn't have made me do that," Sung Ho said. He started pulling her once more, Ga Eul resisting his hold. "Cooperate, Ga Eul, it'll make this all so much easier."
"I am not going anywhere with you!" Ga Eul said, trying to fight against him once more. She struggled and clawed at his hand. She screamed suddenly into a cloth that was put over her nose and mouth as Kim Saeng Yu held her with the chloroform-filled cloth until her eyes rolled back and she passed out against him. He pushed her into Sung Ho's arms as the man swung her up.
"We should go, in case someone-," Sung Ho started.
"Ga Eul!" Sunny called out before she started running towards them.
"Handle her," Sung Ho said as he carried Ga Eul to the SUV and put her in. Saeng Yu reached into the inside pocket of his jacket, pulling the gun free that held a silencer. Pointing at Sunny, he pulled the trigger twice. Satisfied, he put the gun away once more and walked to the SUV before getting into the driver's side. Within moments, he was pulling away from Shinhwa with Sung Ho and Ga Eul inside.
