'What should be done?' He had made his decision, he would not compromise this time around. He needs to keep her from danger more than anything now that he has seen how dangerous it could get if she's by his side. Moreover, how can he bring himself to be happy when Guk Yeo-Na is lying in that ICU with no specific time of recovery. She still has not come out of coma and the time she will wake up is unpredictable. A miracle is what's needed at the moment. Even if she wakes up eventually, who knows what permanent damage she will live with? In this situation how can he be selfish and continue to live happily. The guilt just overwhelmed him.
He stroked Dan-Bi's back and said. "I am afraid I have to stand on my decision. I won't ask for a second chance. You deserve to be happier than this. You deserve all the love in the world. Dan-bi, be happy, go, forget about me."
She burst into tears, louder than before. "How can I be happy? I can't be happy if I leave. No I won't leave... Okay don't ask, don't ask for a second chance, I am giving it freely. Just take it, take me back..." She cried more and he was soaked in her tears. Yo-Han pulled away from her embrace and said, "You should understand, this is my destiny. You should not suffer from my actions and inactions anymore. I have made my decision."
"I refuse, Yo-Han, I will make a declaration that the criminal got the wrong person. That I am the real target and not her. I know by then you will have no choice but to protect me, I will not be excluded from your life anymore. I will do that." Dan-Bi threatened. Yo-Han shook his head and responded. "What if we come to an agreement. Once my revenge is over, I will ask for that second chance. Until then, just keep on rooting for me. I will make sure to keep you in my mind everyday. I will make sure to miss you so much that I will pray that my enemies fall earlier than I expected. I promise to do that." With that, he drew her in for a hug and left a kiss on her forehead. She couldn't help but let out a loud cry. How will she cope during this time without him. The more he rejects her now, the more she longs for him. How will she cope without him?
Yo-Han kept patting her back to calm her but she just kept weeping

Just as we had predicted, Jin Beom-Seok was so infuriated by how the so called Blazing death could not even handle a job like getting rid of Yo-Han. Before he knew what he was doing, his plane already landed in Country S. He took the bait and he didn't even know.
Wang Dae-Woong and Kim Hyun-Jun, after making sure Min Ju-Eun left the hospital with heavy security, they resigned to Kim Hyun-Jun's ward where Ron joined them.
"CEO Kim, Don Wang, we just confirmed that Jin Beom-Seok has landed on our soil. We ought to act fast." Ron informed the men.
While Kim Hyun-Jun was deep in thought, thinking about what to do, Wang Dae-Woong was concerned about something else. Normally in this kind of gathering, Sung Na-Gil is always present either to represent Yo-Han or as Yo-Han's right hand man, his absence today was strange. "Where is Yo-Han's assistant?" He directed his question at Ron but it was Kim Hyun-Jun who replied. "They fell out. He must have joined the other camp."
"Aish that's bad, Yo-Han really trusted that fellow. What could have caused them to fall out like that?" Wang Dae-Woong wondered.
"Sirs, it's still not confirmed" Ron stated. He paused to observe their expression before he further explained. "Yo-Han made a mistake that hurt his feelings, he isn't someone to keep a grudge thus he explicitly showed how hurt he was through his actions. He is almost like a big brother the boss, he wouldn't betray us like that. It's just that we still haven't confirmed his status."
"Well if you say so, then I will believe you but everything we do should remain unknown to him until we know for sure which side he is on." Wang Dae-Woong stated and picked up the initial topic of discussion. "We have all of Jin Beom-Seok's criminal record from decades ago till now. The only problem is that the Kim family name might be dragged in the mud if we released to the public what I have.
"Let us see what it is." Kim Hyun-Jun asked and Wang Dae-Woong passed a flash drive to Ron who connected it to a computer. He opened a document and analysed the content. A sorry and defeated expression covered his face. "This is not good. These are documents of transactions made by Jin Beom-Seok. His name and signature appears on it but the account belongs to the Kim family."
Kim Hyun-Jun took a glance at it. It was a document that stated all of Jin Beom-Seok's illegal transactions from about 30years ago up till now. As long as the list is, the Kim family's account appeared almost always and it is impossible not to notice it. Kim Hyun-Jun let out a defeated sigh and lost himself in his thoughts. 'If not that father allowed himself to be manipulated by the Jin family, this would have been the perfect tool to bring Jin Beom-Seok down. The old man must have thought of now before he made these transactions. He must have planned to drag the Kim family down with him if worst comes to worst. What's left for me now is to find a way to exclude the Kim family from this mess.
"Sirs, there is still hope. When the young master returned from country P, he brought something and we have been working on it but we don't know how effective it will be since we don't understand it yet." Ron took out an sd card from his bag and connected it to the computer and ran the content, but it was stuck on the activation wizard, asking for the pass code.
"What is that?" Kim Hyun-Jun asked, it looked familiar, something he had seen somewhere before. Ron fixed his glasses as he glanced to each side, noticing the men's reaction. He then answered saying, "This is very confidential. Though we don't know it's content, it's suspected to contain invaluable information. We have tried to crack this and bypass the code but all our reverse engineering had proved futile so far. Recently, we sent for a specialist from country C and we are yet to receive feedback since it's Sung Na-Gil who handled that task. Until he finally returns to our side, I am not sure we can go beyond this stage." Ron explained.
Kim Hyun-Jun frowned as he kept trying to recall were he had seen that document. "Were did you get this from?" He questioned.
Wang Dae-Woong hissed and snapped, he sounded irritated, "Did you not hear him say that Yo-Han brought it back from country P?".
"Hey, I am asking because it looks really familiar, why are you getting riled up?" Kim Hyun-Jun asked in a raised tone. 'What's this fellow driving at, what's he even doing here in the first place.' Kim Hyun-Jun was getting impatient with Wang Dae-Woong by the second. The matter of Mine Ju-Eun from earlier had added water to the hot oil, if not why will they both fuss over such little matter.
The meaningful gaze they exchange set Ron at alarm. He immediately interfered. "Sirs, we need to act fast, the time is ticking." That was enough to get their attention. Kim Hyun-Jun returned his focus to the screen and said, "I am trying to remember where I saw this. No matter how i think about it, it's likely that it is related to the Kim family somehow." He said. "I would like to own a copy of this." Ron immediately nodded. "I will work on that. Since you think its related to the Kim family, we don't know if it's a deadly weapon on our side or a trump card. We just need to find a way to access it to know. Until then, it's not useful to us. We need a..." In the midst of his ramble, a knock was heard on the door to the ward. After a short time, one of the body guards came in. "CEO, Someone is here to meet you, he wouldn't mention his name but he keeps insisting that you want to see him." The bodyguard reported.
"Who could that be?" Kim Hyun-Jun asked no one in particular. After deliberating, he gave his permission. "Let him in." That was what Na-Gil needed to hear before he barged into the room.
"Good evening", he greeted and bowed respectfully to the two men who were surprised to see him.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Dae-Woong asked, he sat relaxed in his chair and everything about him felt calm, except his cold and ferocious gaze.
Na-Gil bowed one more time and spoke. "I am here to rebuke my loyalty to Yo-Han, but before that, I need to help him one last time. Jin Beom-Seok is in the country and i know just how to get him. That is my last help that I will render to him. The next time you see me, I might be out to destroy him." Na-Gil declared with his anger on the rise.
Just speaking the name Yo-Han was enough to riled him up that much. The fact that Yo-Han finally discovered what he had done wrong and also made up with Dan-Bi angered him so much. 'If you did go crazy, why not remain crazy and stay with Yeo-Na. Why did you regain you memories and even think of making up with Dan-Bi? Isn't Yeo-Na your responsibility now? Have you forgotten that? See the damage you had caused to Yeo-Na, if you are going to look away from it. Then you will loose all the loyalty I have towards you.'
Kim Hyun-Jun shook his head, 'This is bad, Yo-Han doesn't need more enemies. "Young Man, what did my son do to make you like this?, How should we correct this?" He asked but Na-Gil couldn't state his reason, it might sound stupid to others but to him that reason is more than valid enough.
"It is beyond what can be corrected. Let's get to what I am here for. " He said and without further ado. He explained his strategy.

Jin Beom-Seok and a few men who came to welcome him headed straight to the Lee family Manor immediately they arrived in the country and upon getting to there, they weren't allowed in. It surprised Jin Beom-Seok when he struggled to make an entrance, pulling every string he could only to get to rejected plainly by the Lee family, he didn't even get past the main gate.
Just then, police siren could be heated from afar approaching their direction. Jin Beom-Seok was relaxed since it can't be thought of that he was the reason for the police's journey but to his surprise, the police surrounded him and his convoys. A slightly old man got down from a truck and a few junior trailed behind him. He approached Jin Beom-Seok and flipped an arrest warrant in the old man's face.
"Mr, Jin Beom-Seok, we have a warrant to arrest you for drug trafficking and the arson incident that lead to the murder of Mr Park Mit-Eum 16years ago. You have the right to remain silent, if you do say anything, what you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney and have that attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you if you so desire." The captain stated the Miranda warning and after that signalled to the detectives who stepped forward with an handcuff. Before he got to Jin Beom-Seok who definitely was left in awe, one of the minions obstructed the way. "You can't go any further." The minion said.
"What?, Do you want to get arrested for obstruction of justice? Get out of the way. " The Police captain said.
The minion turned to Jin Beom-Seok for instruction but the old man gave no reply, he stepped forward with a smirk on his face. 'I am sure I will get out soon, the Kim family will not wish to fall with me. Hyun-Jun will do something.'
"Let's go, but I can do without the cuffs." He turned to his men, "I will be back in no time, before then, find a way to reach the Lee family." He instructed them and left with the police.
