Lisa's eyes widened and looking up she saw him. Just when Jihoon warned her not to contact any member he appeared and ruined all her remaining hopes.
"What are YOU doing here?" Lisa asked Minjoon when she gained back her ability to speak.
"Pity I didn't see his face."
"Are you stalking me?" Lisa asked raising her eyebrows.
"E-Excuse me?" Minjoon stuttered. "I was just driving by and noticed you that's why I decided to drop by."
"Oh, I see."
"What are you doing here? Did your father disown you in shame?" He joked but narrowed his eyes seeing Lisa sniffing.
"Hey what's wrong?" He asked bending down to her level.
"Well after I helped you in robbing my father he was left bankrupt. He went abroad."
"Leaving you all alone here?" Minjoon asked softly but anger and pity were visible in his voice.
"He said, 'I was old enough to take care of myself.'"
"I could give you a house to dwell in," Minjoon offered and immediately wanted to take his words back seeing Lisa's confused face.
"Why are you suddenly worried about me? Do you perhaps like me?"
"N-no! You are close to Naeun and Naeun is close to Taehyun. I'm doing it for my friend's sake."
"Understandable but I can't accept such a big favor. How will I pay you back?"
"You can do a job or something to earn money. Do you want to come? Or do you want to keep living on a bench for the rest of your life?"
"I'll come. Thank you."
Minjoon nodded and getting up, walked towards his car. Lisa followed him and got in the car too.
The car ride passed in silence and half an hour later the car stopped. Lisa looked out the window and saw a small cottage. She entered it and found it very cozy and comfortable. The house wasn't that big. It had 3 bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a small backyard.
"Isn't this too much?" Lisa asked turning to face Minjoon.
"It's ok. You'll be able to pay me back after you become a doctor."
Lisa smiled widely. It was her dream to become a doctor and having a supporter besides Naeun was encouraging.
"This is my ideal house, you know?"
"Oh Really?" Minjoon asked in shock, pretending not to know. But he had already gone through Lisa's biodata. She had lived a lavish life of indulgence but all she wanted was a simple house similar to this one.
"Thank you once again for this. I really appreciate it."
"Don't mention it. Also, you don't have to worry about your college fee or any house supplies. They will be equipped along with the house. I'll be leaving now."
Minjoon stepped out the main door and sitting in his car, a thought crossed his mind.
"Am I falling for her?"
Jihoon walked into the office and Hanjae who was busy reading some files signaled him to sit down without looking up.
"I suppose you met Agent 007 the past week?" He asked.
"Yes, I did."
"Didn't you inform her to stop the robbery?"
"I believe I did," Jihoon answered wondering why Hanjae was asking this.
"Then explain this." He threw a newspaper on the table and the headline read "Another successful robbery by Bulletproof."
"I suppose she had reasons for not doing it," Jihoon suggested.
"She was the one who planned the whole thing. She had thousands of ways to stop it."
"But her main mission was to gain a higher position in the gang. How is she supposed to do that if the robbery goes unsuccessful? Along with that only one person was robbed. Choi Han-gyeol, the person KIA was after too."
"They might have robbed him but Bulletproof is still an illegal and wrong gang. Doesn't make it right."
"I never said that it would. But it isn't a great loss."
"50 Million isn't a great loss?" Hanjae asked raising an eyebrow.
"A corrupted man went homeless. I directed it towards him. It isn't a great loss if he went desolate."
"Let's assume you're right. How's Agent 007's mission going?"
"It's going great. She's close to completing it."
"Any suspicions?"
"No. No one knows about anything."
"No one knows?" Hanjae asked again to confirm.
"No one."
He sighed calmly and said, "Very well. You may leave now."
Jihoon bowed and went out of the room. It was the first time he had lied to his boss. Because the girl who was with Naeun at the café did know what they were talking about. He felt bad for the poor girl who went homeless just because of her father even though she didn't do anything wrong. As he said before, the world is cruel.
At the Mansion,
Naeun got out of her room and headed downstairs. She had started working again after assuring Taehyun she wouldn't take the stress and be careful. Taehyun had promised to meet her today as they both had been busy the past week. As soon as she went down she found Jungwoo coming out of his room as well.
He was wearing grey sweatpants along with a black shirt and his black hair was covering his forehead. Naeun hated him and he was annoying as hell but he did look handsome. She looked down as soon as she found him looking in her direction.
"Am I that handsome?"
"Like hell."
"Thanks!" He said winking.
"How's your wound by the way? Not that I care I just don't want my workers to get sick." He added.
"It's better."
Minjoon walked in suddenly through the front door.
"Brother, where were you?" Jungwoo asked blocking his way.
"None of your business mister. I went to meet a friend."
"Lier. It was a girl right?"
"Can't I go out of my house now too?" Minjoon asked frustrated.
"You never get out of bed on Sundays. Not for anyone." Jungwoo stated.
"Shut up! Naeun, Taehyun is outside. He wants to talk to you."
Naeun nodded and started taking fast steps towards the main door and exited the house.
"Park Naeun...she is getting popular right?" Minjoon asked facing Jungwoo who was staring at the main door.
"Huh? O-Oh yeah. She is famous in the gang."
"People called her princess because she was Taehyun's women but now they call her that because she's perfect in everything. How does she do at the planning department?"
"She is good. Better than good. Takes extra projects and works overnight. Is better than anyone as much as I hate to say it." Jungwoo replied.
"Hmmm...completes all her projects, is a regular at the fighting department, and still gets time to bother us at the hacking department. Jinhyun's also helping her understand many systems at the finance section."
"Why does she go to the hacking department?" Jungwoo asked curiously.
"She's interested in learning everything. Everyone in the company likes her. Does everything on time and greets everyone with a smile 24/7."
"That girl...she doesn't smile at me," Jungwoo said narrowing his eyes.
"Why? Do you want her too?"
