" What a bad dream that is" Yo-han stretched his body when he stood up from the bed and walked to the rest room.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Yo-han prepared breakfast for himself and Chang-min.
The Kid brother had something to say but hesitated until receiving a questioning look from his Big bro. "Big Brother, are you okay now, your face looked sullen as if you cried yesterday, what happened?." Chang-min asked, he knew that Yo-han cried but he thought it was his own Hallucinations since Yo-han never cried, not even when Mr Shin, his father's best friend died in a car crash.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Yo-han was lost, he remembered himself crying in his dreams, how did Chang-min know what happened in his dreams?.
"It's nothing serious, at least you are physically okay now, forget about Yesterday and face today. Also, do you know that the Big CEO arrived yesterday, though I haven't seen him since the CFO bombarded me with a load of work and a deadline, I could not leave my office even just to get a cup of coffee. But his descriptions are very close to yours you should come over to see him one day."
"The descriptions are not close, they're exactly the same because I am the CEO." Yo-han said and sip his cup of tea, he watched as Chang-min hissed at him as if he just spat nonsense.
Yo-Han's phone rang in the middle of their conversation and it was from an unknown number. He looked at it carefully until he felt some familiarity to that number.
He decided to pick the call after a little hesitation. "Hello,"
"Mr Park, is Dan-bi there with you? please give the phone to her." No-Eul's voice rang out, showing that she had been a bit disturbed.
"Why will Dan-bi be here with me?" He asked.
"Because you left with her yesterday and she had not returned since then." No-Eul replied from the other end of the line that seems to be a bit chaotic. From the sounds coming from the background, she is probably calming some people who needs the CEO's attention.
"Uhn?" ' So it wasn't a dream, I thought I was dreaming?,... So it did happen for real?'. That realisation made Yo-Han's face to sink. He turned his attention back to No-Eul and explain to her that Dan-bi left after their discussion.
But from the way things sounded, they have not been able to contact her since Yesterday, she didn't even check in to her hotel nor to the office yesterday.
Yo-han looked composed but he had entered panic mode immediately he heard the news. "I will make sure to find her." He told No-Eul, hung up the phone and immediately contacted Na-Gil to prepare the search party. 'Where could Dan-bi be?' Yo-han asked himself.
After searching every nook and cranny of the city, they still didn't find Dan-bi.
Meanwhile, at a warehouse somewhere in the city, in a poorly lit room, very dark that only rays of light passing through punctured holes serves as the only source of illumination, a man in his mid-twenties, almost the same age as Yo-han hid behind the shadows.
His gaze focused on his captive who is sulking on the bed in the room, giving him no attention. She kept crying and saying, "Take me back, take me back to Yo-han. "
The captors expression darkened exponentially each time she mentioned that name.
" Why can't you just love me, why must you love him, I won't let you go unless you forget about him and finally fall in love with me. Why can't you just love me." "Love me!!!, It's very easy, just love me!!!" The captor shouted at his victim who trembles each time he speaks. This made him calm down a bit so as not to scare her so much.
'Why can't she love me?,' He asked himself.

The Big boss of Min Corporation, badged into the main security room at the PiA, he along with Na-Gil, Ron and Seuk-Chin, hurried over to a section filled with the sounds of fingers crashing on the keyboards.
The special monitor system, a section that Yo-han assigned to track his, friends and families movements. Just in case something bad happens, it would be easy to crack the mystery on time.
He walked straight to the trusted team of two who he assigned to track Dan-Bi's movement ever since they met at the Prime Minister's party.
"Where did you spot her last?" Yo-han asked straight away, giving no heed to the greetings from the two.
"The last footage we have of her was in her car after leaving the coffee shop." One of them explained." We think it's an abduction because, from this camera to here, we could see the car movements but the captors must have calculated the blindspots and the abduction occured here because here, the car was expected to appear twenty eight seconds earlier." The security guard explained as he pointed from one part of the screen to another.
"After the car finally appeared here, the car was still on a spot on the map, meaning that they used a similar car to drive her away, they deceived the camera but the map sold them out. How can the car have appeared here while it's still stagnant on the map and just shortly after, the car was transported back to the Choi family home." The other monitor finalised the explanation.
Yo-han burned with furiosity at the two and he uncontrollably lashed out at them." Why are you just reporting this now, you discovered this since the incident happened, why are you just reporting this??!!!" He turned to Na-Gil, "Did they report to you, or any of you?" He asked Seuk-Chin and Ron also who could get the report too.
"Boss, we tried contacting you but your phone was switched off, we called the office but it was a lady that picked it, we also contacted Mr Sung but he was out of coverage. Sir we have our call log as evidence" The first monitor explained and showed the call history to Yo-han which showed that he was speaking the truth. As for Yo-han, he had switched off his phone, wanting no disturbance from anyone, he just wanted to grief alone quietly. Na-Gil was far away because of some private family issues relating to his precious and beloved mother.
Yo-han calmed only a little bit but was still furious and upset, willing to harvest the head of whoever dares to kidnap his beloved. He strode up and down the room for a while, thinking of a solution. After a short while, he finally stopped to ask a question. "This other car that appeared after the 28seconds operation, did you catch the number plate?"
"We did but it was the exact same thing with the car she was in initially, the captors must have done everything perfectly the only thing that gave off a clue that something happened was that the car was moving on screen but the map shows that it's stagnant until after almost a minute, it moved in the direction of the Choi family home." The Monitor explained, he had also thought of this things and he had looked into them, but it seems that the captors had really done their homeworks.
Yo-han became petrified, for two reasons, firstly he had no clue of who is behind this leading to not knowing where to start from, secondly, he had no idea of what situation Dan-bi finds herself in at the moment.
His face became dreadful at the moment he realized he is in a weak spot, he had now discovered that his opponent his not easy to defeat. For him to have planned this well, he is no joker, he means business
In-between Yo-Han's trepidation, Seuk-Chin spoke, bringing Yo-Han's mind back to the present. " Young Master Han, Old man Wang asked me to tell you something when I was coming back, he said that, sometimes the most difficult enemy to fight, is the one that has lived as long as you have. I didn't know what he meant, but I think he had suspected something like this happening.".
"The most difficult is the longest surviving,. But how does that help here?," Yo-han asked after trying to figure out what it meant but ended up with nothing.
"I guess it's a war between the Choi family and the Kim family. Record has it that the Kim family had always being provoking the Choi family for a long time, there is a great rivalry between the two families. But the Kim family seems to be more offensive. This is another attack from them." Na-Gil explained what he knew from his studies about all the five families.
"So the Kim family is striking! But could they not have chosen someone else other than Dan-Bi?!!, Prepare everyone, we are taking down the Kim family earlier than planned. Get to work all of you, I am declaring war against the Kim!!!." Yo-han exclaimed to his subordinates who came along with him before exiting the section angrily.
