TU (Technology Unity) Company.

After a week had passed, Chunghee returned to act like what he did previously, as if answering my calls and replying to my messages were taboo. He never even activated his cell phone since my first meeting with him at the hospital as if he wanted me to stay away from him.

Does he really think of me as a disturber?

Does he feel sickened by me?

Thinking about this, I might be a poor man who kept hoping God to turn his feelings towards me.

Leaning my back against the back of my chair behind my desk, my eyes stared blankly at the sheet of paper in the form of a contract that must be signed immediately.

However, my mind kept thinking about what it wanted to think. I couldn't stop thinking of the weak Chunghee when I met him one week ago and felt uneasy, regardless of the piece of contract in front of me right now.

He looked thinner than before and his face looked so pale without enthusiasm. He was so different from the moment we met. However, beneath his pale face, there was a warm smile that never changed — even in his overflowing cry.

However, even though that smile was etched almost covering his wounds, such fakes couldn't prevent my eyes from seeing to his heart, that he wasn't happy and only hiding his sorrow behind the smile on his face.

I wasn't someone who was easily fooled by such fakes. All this time, I just kept pretending not to know about it and kept quiet. It was because I wanted to appreciate his efforts which from the start were just futility in my eyes.

To be honest, he was just forcing himself to cover up the wounds he couldn't hide.

I fiddled with the pen on my finger, staring blankly at the sheet of paper in front of me. Occasionally I bitten my lip as worry crept up my head.

Suddenly my cell phone was ringing. I glanced at the cell phone, then immediately grabbed it and answered the call, "Dad, what's going on?"

"Daehyun, why are Lee's men looking for you?"

I froze at once. I frowned without realizing it when I heard the strange and surprising question that came from my father directly.

Lee's men? Lee Donghwa?

I wasn't even that close to him and didn't want to familiarize myself with him at all.

Then, why is he looking for me?

I had a bad feeling about this.

"Lee? You mean Lee Donghwa, the president of GIM Agency?" This question was just to make sure that Lee, who my father was talking about was Lee what I was thinking of right now.

"Yes, who else? His men have been looking for you for two days. And yesterday, Lee also called me and asked where you are. Does he have any important business with you? Or, are you two doing cooperation? It's unusual for Lee to look for someone so persistently. There must be something happen ... or a problem between you two. It was no way for him to go that far."

"Hmm? I never felt like I was causing trouble with him. Our last meeting had also been quite a while since a few months ago. If he had a problem at the agency, he was definitely looking for the wrong person. He should be dealing with you, not with me."

"Looks like this is not a problem at the agency. There must be another problem pressing him that has something to do with you," Kim Myungdae guessed. He then asked, "Well, where have you been these days then?"

I frowned tightly, feeling confused. My hand moved to touch my forehead. This was the first time Lee had been looking for me.

I wondered, 'Why does he look for me desperately? Why doesn't he call me directly?'

I didn't even remember making a contract for cooperation with him previously.

It was really strange.

"Hmm, I've been out of the city for the past three days." Sighing silently, I continued, "He might in need of something. I'll call him later."

My father was silent for a moment, then said deeply and full of wariness, "Daehyun, if you cooperate with Lee, you can't interfere with his dark business. I won't hesitate to get you out of the Kim Family if you do. You know how he is, Don't you? I can even remember the dirty way in which he brought down Nam's company two years ago."

I chuckled. "No way. I don't need to do illegal businesses like that just for adding profit."

After hearing the words of my father — a grand master of the Kim Family — saying such self-deprecating things — it was heard ridiculous. I scoffed, "Are you afraid? You are even more powerful than someone like him and your power can't be compared to him. You can even break the agreement with him right now. Aren't you the largest shareholder in GIM Agency?"

"You're right. If it wasn't because I still needed him, I would look for someone else a long time ago," paused, he sighed. "You've always been good at words. But, that's not what I mean. I'm never afraid to be in a business competition. But, I just don't want you to come into the dark world as Lee has done since you are the only successor in our family. I would be ashamed to the bone if the young master of the Kim Family destroys his own family name."

Hearing about that, I laughed hollowly. He had always put our family name first. That sometimes made me sick of living in my own family, acting by upholding his name to the sky. However, I just kept silent without any comment.

A second later, I immediately got up from my chair. I gazed out of the window and said, "By the way, I want to borrow your men."

"For what?"

I sighed. "Um, just in case — for a day — just a few of them, and after that, I'll give them back to you right away."

"Hm, all right. I'll send them soon. Just tell me your location."

Hearing he agreed to my request, a streak of a cold smile tugged at the corners of my lips. "I'm in Seoul right now. At TU Company."

"Okay then, they'll be there in a few minutes."

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.

Leaning against the jamb, I crossed my arms on my chest while thinking many things for a moment, then sat back down behind my desk. Grinning coldly, I leaned my back against the back of my chair lazily while thinking about something crafty in my head.

The curiosity became more and more intense. Because Lee Donghwa was looking for me, I felt something was wrong, but suddenly I felt like playing around with him.

Thinking about this, I chuckled. It was strange and funny at the same time. I felt like there was something fun that would happen in the future.

I didn't know why he was looking for me. But, if he wanted to offer a game, then I gladly accept it.

Twenty minutes later, someone knocked on the door and rushed in.

A tall and big man in a black suit with earpieces worn over his ears stood right in front of me. He bowed before starting to speak in a deep voice, "Young master, we all have arrived at the order of the grand master. Now, we are ready for your orders, sir."

I was quite surprised to hear the word 'all' and immediately straightened my back. "What? How many?"

"Twenty people only, sir. Others must accompany the grand master to an important meeting."

I lifted a forehead. The word 'only' for twenty people wasn't worth it. Twenty people were too many to be juxtaposed with the word 'only' itself.

However, I didn't think about it any longer and immediately got up, and then walked out. I took out my cell phone, then dialed the number of my assistant who was currently conducting an observation of a new project out of the city.

A woman immediately answered, "Hello, sir, what's going on?"

"A Yeong, I want you to take care of the contract sheet on my desk. I also want you to move the meeting this afternoon to the next week on the same day. I have a sudden business today."

"Ah, but, sir, this meeting is very important—"

"I know, I know ... you don't have to tell me. I know it better than anyone. But, this is an order, so just do what I order you. If you are afraid that those people will refuse, then use my father's name to convince them."

She paused for a moment, then agreed, "Huh, well, sir, I'll do it."

I knew quite clearly that A Yeong was worried about a meeting that would be moved on another day I ordered. However, besides that, I had no choice except for moving the meeting.

After talking, I remembered the contract sheet on my desk and went back inside to sign it before leaving. This contract was important. Rejecting it was tantamount to lure my father to show his fangs.
