TMPW Ch 10 part 1

Within a few minutes, 2333467cef JoonHun and Yuan were ba189fd4e3 sitting side-by-side in the 90af84b8aa back of an ambulance 5aba4198d7 with a bloody TaeKyung 92f1caad57 on a stretcher in 352d909e99 front of them. There were 08b2901168 no windows 3853da6e72 in the c36b4e60e4 back of dc8a52c56f the ambulance, 697d9a5281 but they 7322c30ddf could tell 23952c12a6 that they 652ae4a0a8 had left fe468a9250 the decimated e31c4b7f7c neighborhood of d6a9041e92 PyeongChang. They could no a67411fe29 longer hear the 86fe05cfce sound of alarms 794ec037a2 around them.d9375dbc73349a65

The vehicle jolted as it continued down the road. Suddenly, she felt a familiar feeling of the car moving downhill. Yuan then realized that they had just arrived at JoonHun’s house. Her body still remembered the place she called home for two years.d92291dab16195d5

Everything felt unreal. The fact that JoonHun had appeared in that basement, the fact that she was returning to this house… She couldn’t believe any of it.96c33d8e0ca936fe

Ever the skillful butler, Choi Myung appeared and began to take care of TaeKyung as he was taken off the ambulance. She didn’t know where he learned to do it, but Choi Myung injected a needle into TaeKyung’s broken leg and skillfully applied a splint. Completely bewildered, Yuan could only watch. db05d8944fe0f7ac

After having received the emergency treatment, TaeKyung was put on Yuan’s bed and fell into a deep sleep. Having devoted himself to TaeKyung’s treatment, Choi Myung gathered his tools and left the room. Only Yuan was left by his side.577cf2ad91376b91

Yuan calmly looked down b3560cda34 at TaeKyung before shutting f850c6d370 her eyes. She was exhausted, but 1437a1cf3b sleep continued to evade 21702e6945 her. Outside the window, 8a5a83f1d8 the sky was fe933e20b1 faintly dark. The employees bd877ffc14 within the 6a040efc15 house were 364632398e nowhere to 24d72abfff be seen, 8f799824db leaving behind badab20aeb a thick f00aa26aee silence.a605fb23e5e2d586

She kept picturing JoonHun c8c2d02ab6 appearing in the doorway f8184464a8 of the basement. She kept recalling how 6b5a3390a7 his murderous eyes had cbd6bc46d0 glared at her before 270aa23ed9 moving to TaeKyung.7388fb517627fdc0

“Ah…”57d84abfe0b73083

Yuan covered 9ec67e47fa her face c2ba2ed623 with both caf0ec6b5c of her e0e867217f hands. She thought she 1456dfa1ec was going to 01896b54f3 lose her mind a8d2ff6a2a at this rate.

She breathed in and raised her head. The pale moonlight shone on her wet cheeks. Now wasn’t the time to be crying like this. Yuan got up from her seat.06db0dd157c5764b

She heard the loud click of the door as it opened. As she walked along the corridor, she looked up at the ceiling as she always did. The red light of the recording surveillance camera was nowhere to be found. The house wasn’t being recorded right now.afc8c84b822e7eb1

She walked through the corridor and saw a light coming through the crack of a door. Yuan carefully approached the door. As expected, JoonHun was inside. He was still wearing the same clothing he had been wearing at President Min’s house. He was holding a glass of whisky in one hand.460a8d656a0e266a

“28 years ago, RyuHwa Company and KeumYoung Investments merged to create R&K. Like our marriage, this merger was formed through a marriage between RyuHwa Company’s Min DaeYup and KeumYoung Investment’s Kang Yina.”c051b729bc846e3e

JoonHun then realized his mistake. He had seen the name ‘Kang Yina’ on Jordan K Han’s birth certificate, but he had forgotten that it was also Yuan’s mother’s name. Fuck. A curse left his lips. Even though the hint was right there under his nose, finding out that Lee TaeKyung was Jordan had put him into a rage.fba67e6cc0d2008d

“My mom was the only daughter of KeumYoung Investments and represented the ‘K’ of R&K. Of course she knew that she had an arranged marriage partner set up for her. However, the problem began when she went to Japan to study abroad. There, she fell in love with somebody else.”876d7761c56692a6

At the time, when R&K had formed through the merge of RyuHwa Company and KeumYoung Investments, their stock prices shot up overnight. People called it the union of the century.064191e1c04c24fa

Having formed R&K through this merge, the businesses began to run more smoothly than ever. They gained many investors and ten times more capital in such a short amount of time. They became one of the top 30 businesses in the financial world. It was the birth of a sprawling conglomerate.bdfaff50171f42e2
