The next morning all the boys were in the kitchen listening to what was going on in my dad's office. The bug Jimin placed is connected to Hongjoong's laptop.

Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to place surveillance cameras, but the audio should do.

Seonghwa: Anything yet?
Wooyoung: A bunch of boring meeting calls.

I pour myself some orange juice feeling a bit overwhelmed from all the information I obtained over the last two days. Or let's say month because when was the last time she updated? Anywho...

Mingi takes my cup and downs it all in one go. I pout and he pours me another cup before rustling my hair.

"Now on to that Jimin kid..."

We all stop what we're doing, no one is even breathing as we listen in on my dad.

"He's a cocky little shit I can tell, but he reminds me of myself when I was younger."

I roll my eyes.

"I found out Yoshi is back in business. Seems like getting his kid snatched wasn't enough to shut him up."

My stomach begins to turn. The evidence was heavy but the words coming out of his mouth made the whole thing that much more clearer to me.

Mingi places his hand gently on my shoulder. He pulls me into his side and I just lean my body against his. I'm exhausted.

"Keep an eye out for me. Yeah, the parks? Things are going to plan I guess. The boy and girl are now married so we'll wait. She gets kidnapped every other day which is a hassle."

He laughs at whatever the person said on the phone.

"My wife loved her, but for me she's a pawn. Having her keeps park group protecting me. Once I get to where I need I can careless what happens to her, she's not my kid anyways."

I've heard enough.

I find the strength to leave the room and go back upstairs. The whole situation makes me nauseous. How evil can a person be? I hear my door open but I don't budge. I keep my face buried in my pillow.

Just let me woe in my sorrows for a little.

"I know that was hard to hear."

Yunho's voice is careful, and gentle.

I sit up wiping my tears. Yunho sits next to me in an attempt to comfort me.

Yunho: I'm use to hearing people as shitty as him, but I don't thinks someone like you should be expose to that.
Me: At least now I know.
Yunho: On a brighter note Yoshi seems like a much better person. When this is all said and done you guys should try to bond.

I can't even imagine this situation being done.

Me: This is the first time in my life where I can't picture my future. I tried to make the best out of this situation but I'm failing.
Yunho: That's understandable, I didn't have as many obstacles in my arrangement as you and Hwa. He is trying his best to protect you though, and now it's not even as a business thing he's doing it because he cares.

A knock comes from the door and Seonghwa walks in. Yunho excuses himself leaving just us two alone.

Seonghwa: Next weekend is when we put the plan in effect. Yoshi and I will have a meeting tomorrow.

I nod.

Seonghwa: Next weekend you'll be with Suzy at her house.
Me: What?
Seonghwa: That's the safest place for you.
Me: No, I want to be there!

His eyebrows furrow.

Seonghwa: Be there? No, you'll be in danger.
Me: I need to ask my dad, well, him some questions.

He sighs.

Seonghwa: Nia.
Me: I really want..-

My mouth snaps shut once he wraps his arms around me.

Seonghwa: I know, I know. You have to understand my job to the very last moment is to protect you and I didn't come this far to lose you.

My body tenses up.

He pulls away to look at me, his eyes soft.

Seonghwa: It's going to be okay.

A simple sentence but it meant the world to me at that moment.
