TMPW Ch 13 part 1

“Let’s go.”

Inside the forest, Choi Myung had left a small convertible. They could also see a backpack full of traveling necessities. JoonHun opened the passenger side door for Yuan. Once she was seated, he walked over to the other side and sat in the driver’s seat.

“Damn it, why did he get such a small car?”

Compared to the cars that JoonHun was used to driving, this car looked very tiny.

Even though she was still covered in cold sweat, Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing JoonHun crumpled up in the driver’s seat as he drove, Yuan thought he looked hilarious.

“How can you laugh right now?”

He grumbled as he asked.

“Just look at you.”

“Fine. As long as you’re having fun.”

The car’s engine went vroom as they slowly began to move.

As they exited the forest, they saw a 2-lane road. The green hills looked like rolling waves. They looked around at their surroundings as JoonHun turned the steering wheel and began to head west.

With both her hands clasped together, Yuan frantically checked the rear view mirror. Despite her worries, it didn’t look like anyone following them. Were they okay? Did they really succeed?

Suddenly, they heard sirens.

The blood drained from Yuan’s face. She couldn’t speak. At first, she thought she was just hearing things, but after seeing JoonHun’s face, she knew that she had definitely heard police sirens.

“Oh my god.”

A groan burst out of her lips.

What were they supposed to do?

Having turned ghastly pale, Yuan looked over at JoonHun. He was also pale. This was the first time she had seen him like this. Have they been caught? That quickly? How could they escape this situation?

They were going up against a Swiss bank. Even the slightest careless mistake would have enormous repercussions. She was going to have to face the consequences. Including JoonHun.

“Stop the car.”

Yuan’s voice was tight. Surprised, JoonHun looked at her.

“You need to run away. Hurry!”

His eyes narrowed and pierced into her. Suddenly, he began to laugh.

“Min Yuan, get ahold of yourself.”

“JoonHun-ssi! Now isn’t the time to be doing this!”

“I’m not going anywhere without you.”

His voice was firm.

“JoonHun-ssi! Stop being ridiculous. You haven’t done anything. Stop the car right now. I’m the one who did this!”

He stretched out his hand and grasped hers. He grabbed it so tightly that she couldn’t shake him off.

“Min Yuan, listen well.”

He turned his head and glared at her. Thousands of emotions whirled around them like a tornado, but his eyes didn’t waver.

“I’m not going anywhere. Both of us decided to do this, and both of us are going to figure it out together. Don’t worry.”

“JoonHun-ssi!”

She could clearly see the police cars now. Two white cars with orange decals were quickly chasing after them. JoonHun’s hand tightened on the steering wheel.

Tears began to pool in Yuan’s eyes. This was all her fault. It was all her fault that JoonHun had been dragged into this. What was she going to do now…?!

They stopped the car. An unbelievable silence pressed down on them. JoonHun was tightly holding Yuan’s hand, and the police cars began to get closer.

Weeeewoooo! As the sound of the sirens got closer, the police cars suddenly passed them and continued racing on ahead.

What? Shocked, Yuan watched them leave. She watched as the police cars raced over the hill, leaving dust in their wake.

It wasn’t… us?

“Haa.”

She finally let out her breath. In all the confusion, she couldn’t think properly. She had truly believed that they were coming after them. She looked at JoonHun. He was staring back at her in surprise.

As they grasped each other’s hand, they couldn’t move. The silence settled. They didn’t know who started it, but both of them began to laugh.

“Pffft, hahahahaha.”

Yuan and JoonHun laughed like they had gone insane. They recalled each other’s pale faces and couldn’t stop laughing. Wow, she never thought she’d see that kind of expression on Seo JoonHun’s face. He had been ghastly pale. Of course, so had she.

No matter how fearless they were, to think that they had done something so crazy against a Swiss bank… When they heard the police, they really believed that they were going to be taken away.

“It would’ve been troublesome if we both ended up going to jail.”

JoonHun barely suppressed his laughter as he spoke.

“I’m sorry, JoonHun-ssi. But you should have seen your face just now… Pffft.”

She knew she shouldn’t be laughing, but it was the first time she had seen JoonHun so terrified.

“Good. As long as you know.”

He chuckled as he started the car.

The car continued westward. JoonHun was still holding on to Yuan’s hand and was holding onto the steering wheel with his other hand. There were barely any cars on the road. The few villages they passed by looked very peaceful. The languid sunlight gently caressed the various forests and flatlands.

“Now, we’re going to wash our hands of all this, right? It’s all over?”

JoonHun spoke. Yuan turned her head and looked at him.

“If someone else heard you, they’d think we did something like this all the time.”

“But isn’t that true? From what I can remember, this is already the third time.”

“What do you mean?”

“Did you forget? Dubai and PyeongChang. Wow, how’d you forget it? I truly married you without knowing how scary you actually were.”

“You’re right. I’m sorry, Seo JoonHun-ssi.”

“I prepared a lot for it.”

“You’re right. But you’re already an accomplice. What can you do?”

Even though they were laughing and exchanging words, Yuan still felt nervous. Even though they didn’t steal the money and merely transferred it into Hong SeRyung’s account, she was still sorry that she dragged JoonHun into this.

“There’s nothing I can do. I’ll just leave it up to fate.”

He looked at her and grinned.

“But still, it was kind of fun.”

“What?”

“If it wasn’t for you, when would I ever get to experience something like this? I’ve been hacked, I’ve trespassed into someone else’s house, and I’ve even defrauded a Swiss bank. You know what? You should also be grateful. I’m the only one that would be willing to live with someone like you. If it were any other man, they’d just go, ‘Wow, Min Yuan’ and run for the hills.”

Oh my god. Yuan burst out laughing. She never thought Seo JoonHun would say something like this. Always serious and cold, he finally felt like a human being. Yuan knew that in order to calm her nerves, he was being uncharacteristically chatty. Grateful, Yuan agreed enthusiastically.

“Of course. You’re the only one that can handle someone like me.”

“You’re right. You need to be grateful for the rest of your life.”

For the rest of her life. Yuan’s smile slightly faltered. For the rest of her life? Will she be able to be with him for the rest of her life? Was that possible?

The wind blew in through the car window. Her hair was disheveled as she looked at Seo JoonHun’s smiling face. Yuan caught her breath. She’d never seen him like this before. Always having a cold expression while wearing his stiff suits, JoonHun’s face now looked so carefree.

“What?”

He kept his eyes on the road as he asked.

“Are you deeply moved because you’ll be able to live with a handsome man like me for the rest of your life?”

“What did you say?”

Yuan’s lips opened in shock. JoonHun turned his head and looked at her as he grinned. Yuan’s eyes widened as she saw JoonHun’s warm smile for the first time in her life.

He raised his hand and lightly tapped her cheek with his hand.

The car didn’t stop and continued racing towards Paris. It would take seven hours to get from Zurich to Paris. She was so nervous that she didn’t want to eat anything, but JoonHun stopped in the middle and made her eat some soup and drink some water.

A short while later, JoonHun received a short text message on his phone. ‘Done.’ There was no indication of who had sent the message. However, they were certain that it came from Derrick and Eri. Yuan looked down at the message for a long time before raising her head and looking out the car window.

The car finally arrived at the outskirts of Paris. She could see the sun setting between the antiquated, slate gray buildings. The sun looked like a red-orange egg hanging in the sky.

They had finally returned to reality.

The night view of Paris from their private jet was beautiful. It looked as if stars had been sprinkled into the sky. The Eiffel Tower in the distance was sparkling like a souvenir at a gift shop. JoonHun was seated next to Yuan as he looked over the documents he hadn’t had a chance to get to.

Because it was a private plane, nobody else was inside the small cabin. This plane had a wide, comfortable couch and even a bedroom.

“Are you sad that we’re leaving?”

Without looking at her, JoonHun asked. Yuan took her eyes off the view outside the window and shook her head.

“No. I’ve been here plenty of times while I was attending school in England.”

“Still… Let’s come back here for vacation next time.”

Yuan smiled awkwardly when she heard him say ‘next time’. JoonHun spoke as if it was absolutely certain. He said ‘next time’ and ‘for the rest of our lives’ so easily. Honestly, Yuan wasn’t so confident.

No one knew what kind of situation would arise once the bomb of the account transferral had dropped in Korea. This was different than what she had imagined. No matter how much she prepared herself, she would never be able to be certain about the future.

Not like Seo JoonHun.

She recalled the first time they had met. He had been wearing a stylish, navy suit. A cold man. At his cold-blooded words and behavior, Yuan had felt relieved. She felt that it would be easy to marry and divorce this kind of man.

However, this man would never divorce her. He said he had feelings for her, that he was falling for her. He had appeared at the neighborhood of PyeongChang and had even accompanied her to the Swiss bank. He was accompanying her on this risky mission.

Would she be able to leave a man like him? Would she be able to reject a man like him? This sense of guilt she was feeling that caused her to remain by his side… Was it love?

She didn’t know.

She was already exhausted from spending all her energy thinking about President Min’s situation.

“Why did you do it?”

She raised her head and asked him a question out of nowhere.

“Hmm?”

“Just why… You said you wouldn’t separate from me… So when did you…”

She wanted to ask him when he knew he had caught feelings for her.

JoonHun stared at her before leaning back onto the chair. A faint smile formed on his lips.

“I wonder. I’m not too sure…”

“I wonder what it was…”

He tilted his head and before softly saying, ‘Emergency landing.’

Huh? The emergency landing?

Yuan suddenly realized what he was talking about. It happened last year when the couple had gone to Russia. Due to engine error, their plane had made an emergency landing in the small, Mongolian town of Murun. There was a family of three that was sharing the first class cabin with them. The second daughter of the family began to make a fuss.

“Get the plane back in the air! Right now!”

A stewardess was on her knees in front of the woman as she tried to explain the situation. The woman screamed out angrily and struck the stewardess.

“Do you know how much the contract I’m about to sign is worth? Will you guys be responsible for it if something goes wrong? What are you going to do? Get this plane back in the air right now!”

The engine was broken and a blizzard was raging outside the window. Even though she clearly knew that it would be impossible for the plane to fly in this situation, the woman continued to scream and throw a tantrum like a three-year-old child.

However, the stewardess’s status was below that of the woman. No, it was so far below her that she wouldn’t even be able touch the woman.

“Customer, please calm down and…”

“Calm down? Does it look like I can stay calm in this situation?!”

Smack! The woman pulled back her fist and punched the stewardess again. However, nobody in the first class cabin was intervening. The woman was just venting her anger. It was merely an insignificant disturbance to them.
