At the Han household the morning started out like any other day; Dae Ro and Soo Mi were having their breakfast, talking about the busy day that each of them had ahead.
“Excuse me, sir” The buttler said, entering the room “you have a phone call.”
“Who is it?” The man inquired
“It is from secretary Hwan”
“I'll be answering it in the office” Dae Ro said, getting up and leaving the room
“Have Yoochun and Hee Soo gotten up already?” Soo Mi asked
“Yes. Both of them are preparing to go to college.”
~*~
In her room, Hee Soo fought herself in order to keep her eyes open while looking at the mirror and thinking she looked awful. The incredibly painful headache was not helping either. She could not remember a single thing about the previous night and the last thing she'd remember was being with Yunho, eating Ddukbokkie and drinking soju...
Meanwhile a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts
“Come in”
“Good morning” Yoochun greeted “Are you ready?”
“Almost:”
“How do you feel?” He asked
“Terrible. What happened last night? How did I get home?”
“Yunho brought you” Yoochun clarified “He called me and I went to get you at the gate. Don't you remember?”
“My head is totally empty...”
“That is bad news... I was expecting you to tell me how was your date.”
“It was not a date! Yoochun, are you still getting strange ideas from it?”
“I'm not having 'strange ideas', you were the one going out at night with another guy and then coming home totally drunk.”
She sighed “Okay, so maybe I was not supposed to drink so much but nothing happened and you are making me feel bad.”
“How can you say that nothing happened if you don't remember? Or did you remember just now?”
“No, I didn't remember, but the thing is you are doubting me and not taking my word.”
“It's not that I don't trust your word. You can be sure that if I didn't trust you I would never have let you go out with Yunho. The thing is that if it was me going out you would be pointing your finger at me as soon as I got home. I just want you to understand that this is not a pleasant situation. Here, take it” He said, handing her a mug “It will help with the hangover. I'll wait for you in the car.”
“Hey, Yoochun” Hee Soo called “You know I love you don't you?”
He smiled then “Hurry up.”
~*~
“Yes, secretary Hwan, you do have the report I have asked of you, right?” Dae Ro asked “Good then. Does it have something suspicious?”
“No, sir. Everything the boy said seems to be the truth.”
“Thank you, secretary Hwan. I will have a look at the report as soon as I arrive to the office.”
~*~
Yunho got to college before Hee Soo that day. He had thought about how he would address her since he'd wonder whether she remembered about their talk and the kiss or not so he decided to act as a closer friend and maybe a potential supporter of her relationship with Yoochun. He was sure that attitude would surprise her and win him a few positive points as the 'good boy' he was so eager to portray.
Ten minutes after being in the classroom, Yunho spotted Hee Soo getting in so he smiled at her and removed his backpack from the chair so that she could sit down.
“Good morning” He said, smiling and she nodded “How are you feeling?”
“I'm fine except for the huge headache.” She said
“I think I owe you an apology. I should have prevented you from drink so much”
“Don't think that way. I drank because I wanted to, you don't have to feel guilty at all” She countered
Smiling inside, Yunho rejoiced at the fact that she'd taken his bait but before he could put in motion the second part of his plan, the teacher entered the classroom. He would address the matter latter then, he thought.

It was already past noon when the doctor finished examining Sung Ri and concluded that she could be discharged that day.
A few minutes inside the doctor's office were enough for him to give Junsu the prescription and all the details on what to do regarding Sung Ri's health.
After leaving the doctor's office and meanwhile he was waiting for Sung Ri to get ready, Junsu took the opportunity to call Changmin.
“Hello, this is Changmin speaking.”
“It's me, Junsu”
“Oh! You calling me? That's rare, Junsu.” The other mused
“I need you to track down someone for me” Junsu said
“It's a mission?”
“Not exactly.”
“It's a personal thing then. Did someone manage to piss you off ? I'm pitying the creature already... Tell me what you know about that person”
“His name is Moon Bin, he is nineteen and went to Yongnam Highschool.” Junsu said
“Let me see... Yongnam High... Do you know the guy's last name by any chance? There are seven guys with the same name and age that went to this highschool. This sure does show us how people are lacking the imagination to name their sons nowadays.” Changmin joked
“I don't know his last name. Look for the one in the same class of a girl named Park Sung Ri.”
“Found it. Lee Moon Bin. He goes to the Science and Technology College in Seoul”
“Can you get me his class schedules for today?” Junsu asked
“It's done.”
“Alright. I'll text you a fax number so you can send me his schedule and his picture, okay? Thanks.”
“By the way, Junsu, yesterday when I stopped by the informatics' store I saw a cute and brand new micro pc...”
“You are such a beggar. Alright, I'll see what I can do.” Junsu said
“Thanks for using my services!” The other said, cheerfully before hanging up the phone
Junsu hurried for the reception, explaining that there was an urgent fax addressed to him and as soon as it was verified, the receptionist handed him two sheets.
After a quick look, he put the paper inside his pocket and headed to the waiting room once again.
Sung Ri got out awhile after and Junsu took her out where Yoon Jae was waiting.
“Sung Ri-ah! Oh my God, Sung Ri-ah, are you really okay now?” The girl asked, looking at her friend
“I am fine, don't worry.”
“I am sorry that I didn't come early but I only knew about what happened last night. Your family must be worried, did you call them?”
“It's okay, my mom won't worry if I'm out for just one day” Sung Ri said “Now I am kind of hungry so why don't we ask Junsu here to buy us breakfast?”
“I'm sorry but I have something urgent to do. I asked Yoon Jae to come and take you because I would not be able to do it today” Junsu informed “I'll take care of some things and then call you later. I want to talk to your parents also.”
“WHAT?” She blurted “Why do you want to talk to my parents?”
“I'll call you later, okay? I'm in a hurry now.” He said and left immediately, almost running while Sung Ri yelled for him to come back.
“Yah! You blonde idiot! What do you have to do that is so urgent?? YAH!”
Junsu made a run for his car and quickly headed to the Cience and Technology College. He still had 20 minutes before the class ended and the college was not too far from where he was so he would be there on time.
When he arrived, there were still five minutes left so he parked his car in front of the gate, got out and leaned on it while waiting.
A few minutes latter, Junsu spotted Moon Bin, coming out alone so he started walking calmly towards him.
“Lee Moon Bin?” He called
“Yes, it's me.”
“Can you come with me for a moment?”
“Do I know you?” The other asked
“Not yet.”
“Well then, you must excuse me but I don't usually go with people I've never seen in my life” Moon Bin said, starting to walk again.
“Do you know someone called Park Sung Ri?” Junsu asked and Moon Bin stopped then and looked back, at Junsu “We need to talk, so get in” He said, pointing at his car.
The other obeyed and got inside the vehicle. Junsu followed suit and turned on the engine so both of them got out of there quickly. Junsu did not talk for several minutes, keeping his eyes on the road at all the while until Moon Bin started talking.
“Do you know Sung Ri? Are you her friend?” The other asked
“That is nothingof your business. Instead of talking about my relationship with her, I want to know about YOUR relationship with Sung Ri.”
“There is no such thing” Moon Bin quickly responded “I met her in highschool, we were in the same class and we dated for a few months, that is all.”
Junsu scoffed “That was all? I am sure you are forgetting something very important for which you should have taken responsibility or did Sung Ri get pregnant all by herself?”
Moon Bin laughed then “So that is what this is all about? Did Sung Ri want you to persuade me now? I have already told her that I am not taking responsibility for anything so if she sent you to try and talk me in, you can stop wasting your time. Stop the car, I want to get out.”
“She didn't send me. She does not even know that I am with you” Junsu said with a straight face
“What the hell are you? Are you her boyfriend? Her husband? What do you want?”
“For now I want you to shut up since you talk too much.”
“Stop the car this instance!” Moon Bin shouted and Junsu hit the brakes suddenly, making the boy go forward only to grab him back and push his face violently to the window
“I told you to shut up!” Junsu yelled and finally the other complied.
Junsu put the car in motion once more and from there on, their trip was a silent one until they got to their destination. Moon Bin looked around at what seemed to be a deserted place, full of old and abandoned warehouses and that was the moment when he finally realized that the day was not going to me easy for him.
“Get out.” Junsu ordered, opening the passenger's door.
“Where are we?” Moon Bin asked, but Junsu did not answer and pulled him out of the vehicle instead, dragging him to the near warehouse by his collar.
The place was dark and humid and as soon as both of them got there, Moon Bin was thrown to the floor at once.
“W-Where are we?” Moon Bin asked once more, stuttering now
“There is no need for you to know since it won't do you no good”
Moon Bin reached for his pocket, in order to take his cell phone out but Junsu interrupted him
“You won't be having any reception in here. Sit down.”
“I won't be taking orders from you” Moon Bin shouted
“I told you to sit down” Junsu said, grabbing Moon Bin and swiftly making him lose his footing, landing hard on the floor while he himself got a chair and sat in front of the boy.
“Who are you and what do you want?
“It does not matter who I am. As for what I want.. well, let's see... actually I want to make you disappear but I am still thinking about that.”
“Is this all because of Sung Ri? Look, she accepted the fact that I was not taking responsibility for the baby. We solved everything.”
“ 'We solved everything'? Let's see: you got your girlfriend pregnant and when she told you about it, you dumped her and the baby she was carrying. You call that 'solving' ? I call that being a coward.”
“I could not take responsibility for that child and Sung Ri knew that. Even if I wanted, I would not be able to; my family would never accept it. They would never accept a child born out of wedlock and they would never accept someone like Sung Ri.” Moon Bin explained.
Junsu got up quickly after hearing Moon Bin's words, making his chair fall aside and approaching the boy who was still sitting on the floor. Grabbing him by the collar once more, he started punching him until the other started bleeding.
“So the common girlfriend was too much for the rich playboy's family to acknowledge, huh? I bet that if she was like you, your parents would have manage a way to solve the situation, right?”
“I don't make the rules, I just abide to them.”
Junsu smiled, sarcastically “Well then, you can rest assured because as of today you will not need to worry about Sung Ri and her child because she lost it.”
The other widened his eyes “When?”
“Why would I tell you that? You have never worried about the baby so now that it's lost why do you care to know the details? Sung Ri did not even want to contact you because she said you would not care whether both of them were alive or dead.”
“I admit that I didn't want the child. I admit that I asked Sung Ri to have an abortion and I admit that I went away because of it, but it's not true that I don't care about Sung Ri. I loved her while we were together to the point that I thought about going against my parents but then the child was too much. Maybe they would acknowledge her in time but not with the child. However I never stopped caring about her.” Moon Bin expressed
Moon Bin's words did it though and triggered Junsu's anger even more because he looked back, quickly removed his jacket, throwing it to the floor and as soon as he got near Moon Bin again, he started hitting him in every way possible until he was left, lying in the floor all bloodied, almost not able to move.
Junsu's breathing had become heavy so after he recovered his breathe, Junsu squatted down in front of Moon Bin, grabbing his shirt's collar, red by the boy's bood, and looked at his face for awhile.
“You know? It's people like you that I despise the most. People who think that they can hurt other just because they have money. People who does not care the least with the consequences of their actions.”
“I didn't have a choice” Moon Bin replied while trying to even his breathing
“Do you want to die?” Junsu asked suddenly “I am giving you an option. Do you want to die or do you want to get out of here?”
“I want to get out”
“What if I tell you that you can't? Are you still going to try to get out?” Junsu asked again
“Yes”
Junsu smiled then
“You see? I gave you an option and you chose but even if I didn't offer that option, you would still try. Do you get it now? You have always had a choice; it's the way you decide that determines things, not the options you have.”
Junsu released Moon Bin, grabbed his coat from the ground and removed the dust from it before putting it on again. After that he headed to the exit, leaving Moon Bin behind.
“Oh, by the way,” Junsu started “you never saw me before, got it? Forget my face and what happened today if you want to life your life peacefully. One more thing: Do not look for Sung Ri; she doesn't need people like you around her.”
“You like her” Moon Bin said, breaking into a fit of laughter “Now I get it. You could have ignored the fact that I existed if you were her friend or less but instead you decided to look for me and teach me a lesson. You know you made your choice too either you want to admit it or not. You like her” He finished, still laughing.
“I hope your parents don't get too worried that you spend the night out” Junsu said while the other looked at him “Don't worry, maybe someone will find you in the morning.” He concluded, as he left the warehouse, closing the door behind him and locking it and only then grabbing his phone.
“Hello? Yeah, it's Junsu. Do me a favour and make sure someone comes to warehouse 27 and pick 'something' I left there, alright? No, it's nothing serious, just someone who needs to reflect on life. Pick him up and leave him near the main road, okay? Thanks.”
Junsu ended the call and headed to his car. As he got inside, he sighed as if a huge burden was taken off his shoulders.
“That guy got me tired, geez.” He let out while dialling another number on his phone “Hello? Yeah, its me. What do you mean by 'who'? It's Junsu, of course, you dummy! Are you with Yoon Jae now? Where? Alright then, I'll get there in half an hour then.” He said, hanging and putting his phone on his pocket. “Well then, I guess the only thing left if for me to make a quick detour to the informatics store...”
