Why bother debate about it?

Few days passed and Yo-han didn't hear from Na-Gil, but he knew for sure that Na-Gil had returned into the country. He'd contacted Ron and Seuk-Chin who could know about Na-Gil's whereabouts but non of them gave him the reply he needed. Ron especially decided he wouldn't disclose Na-Gil's whereabouts while Seuk-Chin actually didn't know.

Meanwhile Na-Gil had retreated to his hideaway where no one knows except for PiA who definitely wouldn't loose track of their men just like that. It was just that Ron played by Na-Gil's side this time.

Yo-Han exhaled sharply before rising angrily from his seat and walked out of his office. He stopped in front of Bae Jang-Mi's desk and without turning to face her, he asked coldly, "Any news from Na-Gil yet?"

"No Sir, we haven't heard from Mr Sung in a while." Bae Jang-Mi replied and immediately picked up the phone and started punching some keys, "I will try getting across to him if it's urgent." She said as she punched each key as if they offended her.

"Easy, it's not so urgent, just report to me immediately you hear from him." Yo-Han said and walked back to his office thinking, ' He didn't even contact Ms Bae, see how she reacted at the mention of his name. She must be angry at him for not contacting her at all... Well since he refused to come in contact with me it's only fair that you lovebirds don't have the medium to flirt either.

Yo-han had no idea of what happened between the two before they left Country P so he still had the notion that they have something going on and he wouldn't object to it.

Yo-Han flopped down to his seat as he didn't know what to do anymore. Could it be that Na-Gil ran into some evil. The Young Man possesses informations that could raise enemies from every side, how could Yo-Han not worry about his whereabouts. Na-Gil's mission to Country C was to mine confidential information that would be useful in the future especially when dealing with the rest of the Storm and that could begin anytime, even tonight at the gala.

Yes he still has the Jin family to attend to. He dare not forget about them. But from now on, he does not want to waste anymore time on this revenge, he wants to take them all down in one sweep unlike how he'd been waiting and striking in turns. It's been fifteen years since he made his resolve for revenge and yet he had only successfully wiped away the Yoon and Baek families. The Choi family turned out to be innocent and the Kim family turned out to be his Kin who were being used by the Jin family.

Jin Beom-Seok, the man was extraordinarily smart. Hiding behind the Kim family all this time, using their influence and commiting crimes in their name. 'Tell me, Was the former Kim head some dullard who didn't pass through school?', That's your grandpa you are referring to you know?.

How come the Kim family allowed Jin Beom-Seok up until the time he used them to kill one of their own? Even still they did not wise up. Was there any gain to keeping the Jin family silently under the shadows of the Kim family. Where is Kim Hyun-Jun now let him provide an answer to this question now. Yo-han needed an answer. It's just that Yo-han wants to avoid the Kim family as much as he can since he doesn't want any trouble from the family.

The Gala tonight celebrating Sun Group's Anniversary was as always one of the biggest event of the year. The Sun family who owns more than three quarters of real estate properties in Country S, the one who owns the tallest building in the country, the best hotel Chain and the second most influential Chaebol in the country. It's only natural that this event is as grand as imaginable.

Yo-Han and Yeo-Na sat side by side during the event looking the most dashing among all the couples present. Frankly the beautiful woman complement Yo-Han so much. She looked sparkling bright beside him that they caught the attention of all eyes.

Several Businessmen and women had approached the two to socialize with them. Yo-han only had a few words to say which was appreciating all their compliments. As for Yeo-Na she was quietly enjoying the experience of being the one that every sees with Yo-Han tonight, isn't it a dream come true?. Though she felt this wouldn't last, she knew there must have been some mix up, she decided to carry on for now. No matter what will happen in the future, since she has Yo-Han's heart now, she will make the best use of it.

By the side, President Sun was watching the two people that were the center of attraction and his face darkened, he turned to Prime Minister Guk who stood beside him with a glass of champagne. "Prime Minister Guk, what is the meaning of that?" He pointed at the two people with a deadly gaze shot at them.

"Prime Minister Guk, I said what is that?" He asked again when the Prime Minister couldn't utter a word. He chuckled as if there is nothing wrong but Prime Minister Guk knew that behind that chuckle lies another meaning. "Guk Yang-Myeong!!!, I thought we had a deal? What is that?, Did you never tell your daughter about the pending married between my son and her? You get what you want but you think you can escape fulfilling your part of the deal? Just watch." As President Sun threatened, he gave Prime Minister Guk no chance to explain himself but the man still managed a few words.

"Sun Joo-Won, Do you think I am a coward scared of responsibilities?, Whatever is happening, I will find a way to stop it don't get involved. " Prime Minister Guk said but President Sun only smirked and walked away. He approached the couple while Prime Minister Guk trotted behind him hoping he would not make a fuss of the matter.

"Good evening CEO Park, I hope you are enjoying the evening. You look especially young and bright, oh I missed my youthful days. I was so eye catching all the ladies fell for my charm. Yang-Myeong here can testify to that, isn't it?" President Sun said very friendly and jovially. He turned to Prime Minister Guk who nodded in response, "Ha yes, Sun Joo-Won, it was the only name the ladies knew back then. It's true that everything has its own season. It's yours now make sure to enjoy it to the fullest." Then the two men laughed, lightening up the already lit mood.

Yo-han was clever enough to know that Mr Sun has a purpose. From information he has about the man, he is really cunning and sly. People like that you need to be extra careful around them. Yo-han simply faked a smile and said, "Thanks for the advice I will take to it."

"You are a wise man." President Sun said and turned to Yeo-Na, " Ha, it's Yang-Myeong's daughter. You look really pretty just like your mother. Did your father inform you of the engagement between our families?"

Engagement?!!!, Both Yeo-Na and Yo-han turned their questioning gazes at Prime Minister Guk who had a sorry look.

President Sun noticed their reaction but couldn't care less. Nevertheless he continued "My Young-Do recently returned to the country, he is also very handsome and masculine, you two would definitely fall in love upon meeting. You should visit tomorrow." The man glanced at his watch as if he had other matters to attend to. " I will leave you young ones to enjoy the evening." With that he walked away.

Yeo-Na remained frozen beside Yo-han staring at her father lifelessly. One glance at her both Yo-Han and Prime Minister Guk knew she was about to break. That would be bad for this kind of atmosphere. Prime Minister Guk held her by the shoulder shook her and pleaded with a low voice. "I should have told you before now. I am sorry about that" he pulled her out of the banquet hall, totally ignoring Yo-Han's existence. He knew for sure that he had offended his daughter, the one he loved more than his own life. He could apologise to Yo-Han later but first he needed to make Yeo-Na understand that it's all for her sake. How?, he doesn't know yet.

The father and daughter disappeared leaving Yo-han alone fuming furiously, he'd turned ice cold immediately after witnessing this embarrassing event. Did President Sun just announce that his girlfriend would be forcefully taken away from him?, The woman he had love all his life?, The one who awakened love in him. He had passed through hell to finally keep her by his side but this man wants to take her away just like that?, He was really burning with fury inside. This means war.

Yo-Han turned around and also walked out of the banquet hall. At the corridor, he found a man, probably a bodyguard smoking and suddenly the urge to smoke overtook his mind. He approached the fellow, pulled out all the cash in his wallet, snatched the cigarette and handed the money to the man who was surprised about Yo-Han's action and therefore could only watch as Yo-han dropped the cash to the floor and walked away to a side of the corridor.

If the man hadn't known any better, he would have picked a fight with Yo-Han but just Yo-Han's watch alone could pay his salary for two years, he is a mere bodyguard, how much is his pay? He knew better than to find trouble so he just bent to pick the wad of cash from the ground and silently walked over to Yo-Han and handed him the lighter.

Yo-han was not a smoker, definitely he wouldn't have something like that on him. Yo-han gracefully received the lighter and lit a cigarette stick. He was about to take the first draw, when a slender finger coming from the side, removed the cigarette from his mouth. He grabbed the hand and turned to take a look at who dared do such a thing especially when he is this angry. 'Is this fellow seeking death?'

His eyes landed on Dan-bi's face who had a small smile plastered on her face. She shook her head slowly and said to him. "Do you want to kill yourself?, Even when you know you are asthmatic you still wish to smoke?... Whatever is bothering you, you don't have to be rash to yourself."

Seeing that it was Dan-bi, he calmed down a bit and even after her explanation he realized that she was only looking out for him. He wanted to smile and thank her but he couldn't. No, He mustn't. Isn't Yeo-Na the only one supposed to see him smile? And why is Dan-bi even acting like this. 'Is she going to say she can't see that I have a girlfriend? I don't want any other woman around me, from past memories, My girlfriend is super jealous, it would be disastrous if she dumps me like she did in the past.'

He decided to act coldly towards Dan-Bi, maybe that way he would be able to scare her away. "Why, why do you care? How did you even know I am asthmatic, I don't remember telling you, and I never had a crisis before in your presence. Don't tell me you stalk me? Hey, see, let me inform you if you don't know, don't try getting close to me, I have a girlfriend." He then turned around to walk away.

Dan-Bi remained silent for a while and almost burst into tears. 'How come this had to happen. How did things end up like this?... No, it's not really your fault and I understand.' she rubbed off the water threatening to escape her eyes and said loud enough for Yo-han to hear. "Yo-Han, you ask why I care?, It's because it's my duty to care. I have stayed close by your side, learning everything about you, how do you think I wouldn't know this bit about you." She paused to sulk and continued a while after controlling the tears. "Ask yourself this, are your current feelings true?, Is it what you want or for some reason you need to stick to it. If that reason was to change, would you still want her?"

That question caused Yo-han to halt. He turned to Dan-Bi, with an expression of disbelief. How did she?, How did she know what was going through his mind. Just after telling her he had a girlfriend, his thoughts had wandered off to ask himself. 'Is this not too fake?, I feel stuck, I feel like this is obligatory rather than a natural sprouts of interest. I think I am staying only because it took me a lot to finally lay my hands on her. Yeo-Na didn't want to be mine anymore but when we reconciled, I felt like I should cherish her more and never let go. I didn't want to let her down even if I end up losing interest in this so called relationship. I just feel stuck.'

That was what ran through his mind. He walked back to Dan-Bi and asked. "Even if the answer is no, what's your recommendation?, That I run over to you?" He wasn't harsh neither friendly.

Dan-Bi shook her head and said. "I have no recommendation for you. If you really wish to know what the truth is the key is FREEDOM. A beautiful young lady, setting a bird free, making it flap it wings one more time while humming 'Freedom, Freedom', like the bird, find that freedom." She said and tried to walk away living him at the spot but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"Hey, where do you think you are going?, Explain yourself, make yourself clear, until then you are not dismissed." It wasn't a command but he stated it that firm and clear to her. How can she confuse him with some random words and leave like that? 'What's the meaning of what she said?, She has to give an explanation.'

He thought he was intimidating enough for Dan-bi but he realized reality when she shook off his hands and said. "Think about it, when you remember, I wouldn't need to explain anymore." She then walked away this time avoiding his grasp.

'When you figure it out, you should know that I am the one you wish to get back together with. I am that Jealous b*tch who allowed all this in the first place. ' Dan-Bi said to herself as she walked away.

She met No-Eul on her way and the fellow asked, "Did you tell him, did he believe you?"

Dan-Bi did not stop walking towards the exit, she only left No-Eul with a sentence before getting out of sight. "A madman will never accept that he is mad, why bother debate about it?"
