Fight for the throne I.

Yo-Han based his decisions on several reasons and one was the issue with Chae Ah-Rong. Even if Yo-Han knew there might be a slight possibility to regret asking Seung-Heon to leave, he needed to respect his promise to Chae Ah-Rong, they made an alliance and his part is to bring Seung-Heon down. That, he had to do.

Yo-Han discarded the thought and prepared to climb back to bed. He had only pressed his hands and left knee into the soft mattress when he heard a familiar voice from outside the room. Upon realizing who it was, he knew for certain that he had to forfeit his plan to rest. He stood back up letting out a downcast sigh. 'Phew, the troublesome girl is finally here!'

"Hello, brother." Kim Myung-Hee's voice rang in his ears as she walked in excitedly accompanied by three men. Finally, the three brothers are here. Among them, Kim Myung-Hee held Chang-Min's hand tightly, not letting go even for a slight second. It was very obvious that it was the only thing Yo-Han noticed. He stared at the intertwined hands causing Chang-Min to glance around uncomfortably. He was still so shy, he just couldn't object to Kim Myung-Hee's will to publicly display their relationship like this. He also could not stand Yo-Han's stare. He coughed awkwardly to cause Yo-Han to retract his gaze.

Myung-Hee gleefully lifted their hands to Yo-Han's face and declared happily. "Mn -Hmmn, brother, it's what you think, I claimed my man." She chuckled. Yo-Han felt a pang of pain in his chest. He used to be this happy, always smiling whenever Dan-Bi was around but now he couldn't help but envy Myung-Hee. He wished he could be this happy too.

Unknown to Myung-Hee and the rest what was going on in Yo-Han's mind, they all stepped forward and buddy hugged him. Myung-Hee went last and said as she hugged him with her free hand since her other one was holding onto Chang-Min tightly. "Brother, you just keep getting yourself into trouble, should I help you find a wife? That way you will be more cautious so as not to make her worry. Only in half a year you have had two huge accidents like this... If you had a wife that will make you worry, you will certainly be more cautious, I should find you one." She said jokingly but also full of concern. Even still her words were unmistakably to tease Yo-Han and he got her message. He snapped at her as he said, "Aish... You brat... How dare you mock me..." He tsked as he eyed her. He then turned to Chang-Min and said, "Since it's you, I would not make a fuss, if it was these other two, I definitely wouldn't let it happen, therefore you must take care of my sister okay?!" Like a big brother that he is, he pressured Chang-Min even though he literally said he wouldn't.

"Haha... That's unfair... Yo-Han, that's unfair." The two other brothers, Ji-Hun and Won-shik complained in unison, whining like little kids.

Myung-Hee dispersed their childishness and then turned to Chang-Min. "Did you hear that?, You can't treat me just anyhow, you have to treat me well or my brother will get furious." Her threat hit Chang-Min really hard, he only acted dumbfounded. 'Why do you keep threatening me. I understand that well enough, moreover you look like the boyfriend here, should I not be the one worried? And what's with the sudden 'brother' and 'sister' endearments?'

Yo-Han thought the same and said to Myung-Hee, "And you, you've changed a lot, since when did you start showing me respect, I just heard you call me with honorifics three different times now, that's so unlike you, keep it up and be a good girl, okay?"

Kim Myung-Hee smiled sweetly and for the first time, she let go of Chang-Min and tightly hugged Yo-Han. "Brother, I heard, I heard the news from father... That you are truly my brother. Since the very first time we met, I knew we had something in common and I pursued that feeling, now I am glad that it's blood, blood, the same blood flows in our veins... learning that you, Kim Yo-Han is my blood brother, I couldn't resist the happiness." Her words caused Yo-Han to break into a smile. He patted Myung-Hee on the head, "I know, everyone wishes to have me around but you are just the luckiest." He said smugly, " To have me as your brother, you could put your mind at rest, bully anyone, do anything, no matter how arrogant it may be and it will not be held against you. I will always play my part as your brother." He glanced over to Chang-Min and said "And if you are tired of a particular man, just toss him in the bin, no one will accuse you for that". Raising a brow he questioned Chang-Min, "Or would you?"

Feeling petrified, Chang-Min threw his hands in the air to surrendered, 'I know you will pamper her like a princess since you two are truly siblings now but should I be dragged into an uncomfortable situation because of this?' He snorted irritatedly. 'I should have known that she is trouble, brother Han will never give me rest. Working as his secretary would be even more difficult.'

Myung-Hee only chuckled happily and pulled away from the embrace. "Brother, how is your body now? are you doing well?". Yo-Han nodded and turned to the other three who at the mention of his health condition had turned gloomy. "What's wrong with you guys, why are you so moody?" He questioned.

After few seconds of silence, Sa Ji-Hun the boldest amongst them asked the question they all had in mind. "We heard about Yeo-Na, is she going to make it?"

The room turned even more silent and Yo-Han's face fell, he slowly walked over to the window and with a dry voice, he said, "I am not sure if she will make it. I am not allowed to go over to her, the prime minister has left my side the moment he realized I am the cause of his predicament. I can only pray for a miracle, else, Both Prime minister Guk and Na-Gil will fire back at me. Yeo-Na's recovery is the only way to avoid that fate." He stopped talking and sank in his thoughts. 'Its not like they both can handle me, it's just that I have to be fair here, what will I gain for fighting wrongfully? This is all my fault. Na-Gil's decamp and the Guk families misfortune is all my fault. I can't blame Yeo-Na for liking me. I can't blame Na-Gil for falling for her. I can't blame either of them. If I wasn't this stubborn, If I wasn't hell bent on taking this path, no one, not even Dan-Bi would have had to suffer like this. It all returns back to me. Ong Chin-Hae and Jin Beom-Seok, have I offended and my friends are caught in this only because of my actions in the past. If it's not my fault then whose fault?' Yo-Han sighed heavily, gaining the attention of the other four people in the room. "I need to meet my father, You guys wait here." He prepared to leave the room but Myung-Hee stopped him. "You shouldn't..., my mother is back and she is causing a fuss, She... She knows about you and your mother... I am sorry I couldn't stop her... "

Yo-Han was dumbfounded. 'What is really going on, why is Myung-Hee feeling sorry. If Madam Kim knows about my background, If she knows about Mom and I, what... Could it be that?...' His eyes bulged out as several possible thoughts fought through his mind.

"Myung-Hee, what did your mom do to my mom?" He questioned, If this is what he really is thinking about, he definitely would lose his mind. Myung-Hee immediately said to calm his curiosity, "Nothing extremely bad happened, she tried to cause a scene at your mother's mansion when she heard from Kim Do-Joon, but dad was quick to stop her, now she has raised a war among the shareholders of KimJin, she wants dad to fall and she plans to ruin KimJin with the influence she had gathered over the years. Dad is definitely busy trying to repel her threats, he has no time, we both know that an internal war is the deadliest, what we can only do is to help him secure KimJin."

"Why didn't you tell me that?!!!" He hollered at Kim Myung-Hee who replied hastily, "No, no, I could not say anything because of your current situation, but I guess I had no choice." Her speech rate slowed down at the last phrase.

Yo-Han sighed again, 'I hope he is prepared... He should have foreseen the aftermath and made preparations but even still, I need to help.' Yo-Han turned to Chang-Min and ordered. "Put a call through to Ron, I need to speak with him asap."

Mrs Kim strode to and fro the large room, according to her plan with the old man, she had done her part, she had called for a review of the CEO's position and the board meeting will begin soon but the last and finally part of the plan is the only thing making her this anxious. She'd being trying to contact Jin Beom-Seok for a while now but it's not going through. He needs to be present in the meeting since a lot of the shares were bought under his name. He needs to transfer them to Kim Do-Hyun during the meeting, compiled with hers and the backing of some of the major shareholders, she could kick Kim Hyun-Jun off and place her son in his position.

Yes, Kim Do-Hyun since Kim Do-Joon had betrayed her, he knew such a big news and hid it from her. If Jin Beom-Seok hadn't contacted her before he left Country P, she wouldn't have known. Since she discovered the issue she hurried back from her vacation in Country H.

At the moment she had a finger between her teeth, biting regretfully as she thought, 'I didn't suspect that the whore had a child. She must be trying to deceive Hyun-Jun, How could she be with child? The boy looks nothing like Hyun-Jun but he is too blind to see it. Anyways, Jun you've falling from your high pedestal, I don't need you anymore.

A knock sounded on her door and a white haired man walked into the office, "Greetings Madam Kim, I heard you are here so I came to pledge my allegiance, please take care of us from now on." The old man said with a wide grin. Bae Na-na smiled slyly as she watched the old shareholder sucking up to her. She only gave a fake recognition before he left her office with assurance that he is on the winning side. She knew in her heart that she can't trust any of these men, they are sly old foxes. One by one she received such visits and soon it was time for the meeting.

In the large conference room, KimJin's shareholders and investors were all seated and there were announcement being made on the pulpit concerning the proceedings. At a side Kim Hyun-Jun sat down looking depressed, he glanced around at the several shareholders who used to suck to him, now that his wife slightly had an upper hand, they all betrayed him just like that. Only a few loyal shareholders still respected him and stood by him and a lot of them hold major shares. Even still, their number might have no effect of the result. Bae Na-na is bound to win by a slight gap. Yes Jin Beom-Seok us detained but unfortunately he had transferred all the shares he had gathered to Kim Do-Hyun as Bae Na-na requested, and that was before Jin Beom-Seok was detained. Kim Hyun-Jun sighed heavily, "If I could've sent the old plum away earlier this wouldn't have happened. " He knew about Jin Beom-Seok's acquisition of shares over the years but he believed that it would be us d for his sake provided an outsider tries to rebel, he never thought it would be his own family who would use it against him if he had known he would have stopped Jin Beom-Seok sooner. He turned to his two sons who sat at the other side anf they had a smug expression on their face especially Do-Hyun.

Kim Hyun-Jun could do nothing anymore but look into the heavens for a miracle. All his years in the business world, he had never being so never. He had pulled all the strings he had but there's still a short gap, the winning gap, actually for him it's his losing gap.

He wasn't paying attention at all as the Announcer explains the situation, "... Therefore the majority had filed a petition to review the position of CEO and removal of the present CEO, CEO Kim Hyun-Jun and he is to be replaced with his son Department Manager Kim Do-Hyun, who has an accumulated shares of 39.28% of the company shares, leading CEO Kim Hyun-Jun who has a total of 32.87%. We will be casting a vote, each shareholder has to pick a side, your shares will be supporting the party you go with and the party with the greatest cumulative shares wins the seat of CEO. That is the resolution based on the constitution of KimJin. We will have a five minutes recess and the votes will begin shortly after."
