TMPW Ch 10 part 1

Within a few 20c58b3a5c minutes, JoonHun and 04af594816 Yuan were sitting 334521342f side-by-side in the 10bff7b638 back of an 35c9099db7 ambulance with a 69c84b35b5 bloody TaeKyung on 622f743f39 a stretcher in 2b07114a56 front of them. There were no 497d147884 windows in the 2285d94ae0 back of the 212a1d22d3 ambulance, but they 3d8cd86720 could tell that fbccf6989f they had left 8403d80af3 the decimated neighborhood a66bbbb85a of PyeongChang. They could 5b9f946dcc no longer 3765106c40 hear the ddcf6be4c2 sound of fb58c71215 alarms around 95ccd85c0d them.aca1bceed4ccf29c

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.9037f378c3ee3c6e

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.51e0b9879caa9ce8

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. fdfd2297d7480c50

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.660b03277fa60f8f

Yuan calmly looked 0ad6921b33 down at TaeKyung bfc6883941 before shutting her 0b53ba397b eyes. She was exhausted, 6d5f6c0ed8 but sleep continued 6f82f1c212 to evade her. Outside the ee574a76a2 window, the a004273026 sky was e3928a8ad1 faintly dark. The employees bc3ae1d3e5 within the 346c4900e5 house were a0b274bc3a nowhere to 711faefa56 be seen, d925fa41a8 leaving behind 7f9c9d16c7 a thick 6f48147f31 silence.a2de7d32adfbada6

She kept picturing JoonHun 9d205c5bf9 appearing in the doorway 761d8e2c6f of the basement. She kept 907ab5f97b recalling how 2c3705829e his murderous a88ae94d30 eyes had d9e90e2ad2 glared at 66d0a950be her before b7725a6897 moving to 114162cfd0 TaeKyung.18de0b58709137fe

Yuan covered 2c85aa0cde her face e16a271521 with both cde14543fe of her b353c579ff hands.

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.5e795f2236112ebd

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.02d1e4eff35d492a

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.4d273049cf4473b3

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.38c68f84d899d9a6

“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.”2933bd8eceb52e0f

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.114c607058b9a917

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.b1886e8211d89525

The ones who found her mother was HyunJin’s intelligence team. They were far more capable than the National Intelligence Service and had chased after her family. But she couldn’t tell him that. She decided to withhold the information about JoonHun’s father’s involvement.268ca8eefd9bb3cb

At the time, TaeKyung 380fbe012e was five years old. Like any other day, 6c1594ce82 her father had strapped 54d6ecfdc5 her brother to the 6e708a8144 backseat and was taking 27c37aaed4 him to school. Her mother stood 3aaea7aa58 outside by the 900c654057 garage and tightly 72f55b30ab wrapped her cardigan 609c811f4e around her before 6ce0e86e5b waving at them.
