The big black man paused. He then stood up straight, took his cell phone out of his pocket, and started calling someone. The man nodded at the direction of someone on the phone

Until a few minutes later, he hung up the phone, then turned to several people who looked the same as him who were standing near the entrance and gave a signal. Seeing the signal, they all moved immediately, approaching where Daehyun and I were.

The next seconds, two of them grabbed Daehyun's arms and forced him to stand up. Daehyun looked panicked, while I was shocked but couldn't do anything. Daehyun persistently tried to free his arms which were locked by two big and strong men, but it was unsuccessful.

I admitted that Daehyun was a tough and physically strong person, but with two big people and strong muscular arms blocking his movements, Daehyun was helpless like he was a poor weak man right now.

After all, two big men against one person, it was unfair. Daehyun was powerless.

Finally, Daehyun yelled angrily, "What the fuck are you doing?! Let me go! How dare you!"

The big black man replied apologetically, "Forgive us, sir. This is an order from the Big Master directly. We cannot deny it."

Usually, they were very obedient to Daehyun, but his father was the ruler of his family, so whatever words and threats Daehyun gave them wouldn't have any impact anymore.

I couldn't help but stare at this scene without a word. I wanted to help, but with my little strength, helping him would only make things get worse.

Now, the strong Daehyun looked like just a weak woman who was forced to go home by her father.

Seeing Daehyun being dragged out, my eyes kept following where they were going. Daehyun continued to struggle and repeatedly turned to me with anxiety on his face.

However, he might be a rebel. In his eyes and how he acted didn't show the slightest desperation. He was still struggling to free himself with all his strength.

When he was about to go through the exit in this room, Daehyun suddenly said sternly, "Wait, wait!" He kept trying to keep his feet on the corner of the door, then spoke again in a low voice, "Okay, fine, I'll be there, but let me go first. I want to talk to him for a moment."

At first, the people in black suits showed hesitation on their faces and made eye contact with each other as a negotiation. They seemed to be considering this, worried that Daehyun would run away.

However, in the end, the same person gestured to the two people who locked Daehyun's arms to release their grip on his hands.

Daehyun immediately pulled his hands roughly, frowning and sneering at them before tidying up his clothes. He then walked towards me in a hurry.

In front of me, his deep eyes were like a sea of ​​fire. He looked angry, the fire was blazing fiercely, but slowly dimmed, replaced by stillness. He looked straight at me, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared.

"Chunghee," Daehyun spoke as he gently touched my arms, "Listen, I have to go now, it's only for a moment. After I talked to him, I'll come back to see you soon — I promise — I promise, I'll be right back for you, okay?"

I was in a daze for a while before finally forced to string words together in a weak and hoarse voice, "I'll be waiting for you."

As soon as I heard my own words, I was shocked but couldn't take the words back. Once again I felt that I was putting weight on his back.

I never thought that I would say words that showed Daehyun was as if the only one who I depended on once again.

Meanwhile, Daehyun showed a different reaction. Instead of feeling burdened, my words even made his face look cheerful. There was a bright smile as if he were the petals of a flower that had just bloomed, which spread a sweet and light fragrance in the morning.

Touching my face with tenderness from the bottom of his heart, he said, "Sure, I'll definitely be back. I won't keep you waiting too long."

There was a difference in his tone this time. Although it still sounded gentle, enthusiasm could be clearly heard in his voice.

I could only nod my head weakly.

"Sir, it's time to go."

The big black man touched Daehyun's arm, trying to pull him away, but Daehyun immediately pushed his hand away violently, so that the big black man's hand swung to the side.

Frowning, he said coldly, "I can walk on my own."

Daehyun shifted his eyes towards me and smiled gently before he walked out followed by his men behind.

My slightly misty eyes watched him out until he disappeared behind the door. Now, it was just Sunyeon and me in this room and a few guards.

In the midst of this sorrow, the cold air that blew also brought hatred from the person sitting behind me. I felt awkward.

I lowered my head, clutching the cotton coat I was wearing, which was a little worn. Donghwa bought this for me about seven years ago. I still remembered clearly, that day was the day he had just been promoted.

It was early winter. He came to pick me up at the company and took me to a restaurant to celebrate his promotion day. However, because it was snowing, he stopped the car and hurried out to buy a coat for me on the side of the road.

I said he didn't need to buy it, but he persisted. He said that I was thin and that my skin was thin, I would catch a cold easily. He was worried that I would get sick and go to the hospital. He also said that the hospital's smell was so bad, it could make me feel uncomfortable. The words certainly made us laugh that night.

Reminiscing that night, I smiled, but tears rolled down my face at once. For some reason, the more I recalled the previous years, the more pain gathered in my heart.

Now, it was just a painful memory. The sweet taste became bitter and the bitter taste becomes more bitter. None of our memories could bring back this situation even though gathering all the sweetness on this earth at once.

However, when I tried to dig all the memories, Sunyeon spoke with a hostile tone, and hit the pain in my heart quite hard and cruelly, "Why are you still here? You'd better leave. You don't deserve to be in this place. You will only make his soul uneasy."

I didn't know why he said that to me. We were here as mourners at the funeral house to deliver a prayer, anger would ruin the quiet atmosphere here, wouldn't it?

He was indeed like a kid who had naivety in thinking. But he must know that allowing such anger in a situation like this was completely out of the lines.

"Sunyeon...." I smiled bitterly with intense pain in my chest, saying, "Why do you hate me so much? What have I done to you? If it's because of my relationship with Donghwa, wouldn't it be you who is the only one who snuck into our relationship? Do you know how long I've been in a relationship with him and what we've been through all the time? Everything is nothing compared to your three-year affair."

Actually, I didn't want to say this. But, this kid had gone too far, plus I was in a messed up mood tonight.

I added, "But, I don't hate you and that doesn't mean I don't care about my relationship with him. It's just that, I don't think that keeping it all will be useless. Being angry with you is useless too. I'll be...."

"Get out of here!" Sunyeon yelled.

I sighed heavily. He even didn't want to listen to me. So, without caring, I took some incense and burned them to pay homage to the deceased as well as pray for him.

However, it seemed that my words made Sunyeon even more annoyed. He yelled again loudly, "I said get out!"

Hearing him say the same words, I felt funny in my heart. I wondered: who exactly is the mistress here? This is my household business, yet why would a concubine dare to interfere?

I turned to him behind me, and tears still rolled down my face. I flashed a smile as if mocking him, saying, "If your relationship continues, I'm sure in a year or two he will still dump you."

Apparently, when the kid heard my words, he became even more furious, and finally shouted in a commanding tone, "Get him out of here!"

In the mid of a room filled with emptiness, his voice boomed across the ceiling like a thunderbolt about to strike.

As soon as he shouted, two guards in black who were standing at the door rushed in.

"Get him out of here," Sunyeon said to them once again with such an arrogant commanding tone.

Instantly one of them grabbed my left arm violently, causing pain. Then, without using any great strength, the big man dragged me out of this place.
