Kim Jin Woo
As I think of that name for God knows how many times, I wasn't aware that I'm crying and I'm ripping the news paper that the death of my parents was the content of it. This was two years ago, exactly on Wen's birthday. 10 days from now, it's her birthday, and I feel so anxious, I feel like something bad will happen and I don't want, at all cost, to happen that again. Never.
"Naeun?" I heard the voice of Aunt Hyekyo calling me outside my room,
"Yes, aunt? Come in." I said and hide the ripped newspaper,
"Are you alright? Did you cry?" She asked me worriedly and wipe the excess tears that is visible in my face.
"Ohh-- that, i'm sorry. I just can't help to think about her safety." i said and heaved a sigh
"I know, i know. But all we can do now is think ahead. We have to act fast before he gets to Wendy and even you." Aunt hyekyo said. Right, we have to act fast before he do something that may harm Wendy and my family.
"What did Inspector Lee recommend about this?" I asked her,
"Your uncle is discussing about that as of now, they are downstairs. Do you want to join them?" Aunt hyekyo asked me,
"Yes." I said firmly, I saw her smile at me and we go downstairs to join Uncle and Inspector Lee on the discussion.
---
"So what do you want us to do?" we heard Uncle Joonki asked, and we stepped in.
"Naeun, what brought you here?" Uncle Joonki asked me as soon as he saw us arrived.
"I want to know the plan." I said and he just nodded, he instructed Inspect6or Lee to discuss it once again so that I can grip their discussion.

"So the plan is, stay as it is. We all knew that Mr. Jin Woo's family is behind the death of your parents, and he also knew where he can find Wendy. He also knew that we already know him. He's family is powerful, so acting recklessly would just cause chaos. The only thing we can do is to tighten the security of the both of you, but having so much bodyguards would just make it more obvious." Inspector Lee said,
"Thus, being personally capable of fighting is one of the option, hiring a personal trainer for the both of you will help increase your safety. Though, if you agree, we can hire someone immediately. But due to the condition of Wendy, hiring a personal bodyguard would only be her option but if you can insist her, that's better." inspector lee added,
"That's not a bad idea, it's also for our benefit, but for wendy, i don't think so I can persuade her. Maybe i'll ask seulgi about it so that she can talk to wendy." I answered. Yep, seulgi might be able to insist her.
"Alright, but those personal guards will not be on your side, they will be looking and watching you from a far to lessen the risk" Uncle joonki said.
"Just make sure to keep an eye to that boy, uncle. Wendy's birthday's coming up, I don't want anything to happen two years ago now that she's out again." I reminded them,
"We will. We won't promise, but we will do our best to protect Wendy and the rest of you. That's our promise to your Parents." Uncle Joonki reassure me, i smiled at that.
"Alright then, the plan is settled, I'll call Seulgi and the rest to be informed about this. Is that okay?" I asked them,

"I don't think it will be a good idea, but, maybe just a few of them, the trusted ones, we don't know that maybe one of them is just a spy. Just be careful" Inspector Lee reminded me,
"You should not trust people easily, Naeun. I hope you should know that." Aunt hyekyo stated,
"Yes I know, Mom and Dad always remind us about that." I said, just thinking about them makes me so said, and at the same time angry. I will seek justice for you two, and our family.
"That's right. Up you go now, I heard that there will be a meeting of the board of directors today. Prepare yourself now. We will take care of this." Aunt hyekyo said,
shit! I totally forgot about the meeting.
"Oh! Yes yes, thank you for reminding me about it. Will you come to the meeting by the way?" I asked them,
"We will, if we have time, we still have to finalize this plan. But we will be there." Uncle Joonki stated.
The company and Wendy is all that is left for me. Luckily we have Aunt and Uncle to help and guide us. When our parents death became the spotlight, many of our investors also withdraw their shares, but with the help of the company of Aunt and Uncle, the reputation of our company is slowly getting to its place. It's hard, more even for me. Since then, I was working my butt off just to familiarize myself on how this business works. And it's hard for me because to what happened, emotionally and physically I am exhausted, scared and anxious if I'm doing it right. Wendy was he only source of strength I have. I have to bring this company up once again, so that Wendy will also bring herself up again. I know, she knows that this is the only thing we have.

The gleaming reflection of those flickering flowers in her meekly eyes, as well as her blossoming countenance of hardships, demonstrate both her innocence and independence, which has never been tainted by the outside world. A lovely flower eventually touched after thousands of years of living in peace, some bad elements plucked that flower from its natural habitat. The white fox girl never knows what's good and bad, letting them cage her effortlessly without minding their evil sneers because of her over-the-clouds excitement. Finally, the white fox girl realizes she has been treated as nothing more than a prey item ready to be devoured. She's staring at the night skies for a long time and slowly closes her eyes once she gets that divine premonition from somewhere else. It was soothing in the mind.

Even if it was a mere single moment, that gratitude and that smile of hers were the happiest things she could ever express. Time has passed, and the sun has risen from its slumber. The soul of the thousand-year-old white fox girl finally ascended to heaven, leaving her lifeless, cold body behind, leaning against rusted metal poles. It was the most peaceful death everyone wished for. Painless and no regrets. The men in charge of the front didn't notice anything out of the ordinary going on behind them. Well... In common perspective and also in reality, a caged dead fox girl at the back of a horse-drawn carriage is no less than a funeral procession. Book found also on wattpad and webnovel.
