Who Uncle really is?

James: "Wait, Si Woo. Welcome aboard."

Si Woo: "Thanks, Uncle."

Later that night~

Si Woo: "Father, I wish to go with uncle to train myself up."

Si Woo's Father: (shock) (silence) "Son, you don't even really know who your uncle is?"

Si Woo: "Then tell me Father. All I know is I need to train myself up in order to be able to support you."

Si Woo's Father: (smile) "Son, this old man appreciates that you think that way, but you are young and inexperienced for this, look you are only bare 18 years old."

Si Woo's Father: "You don't know how the real world works and the hidden danger of the society."

Si Woo: "I don't father, and that's why I ask your permission to go with uncle to see the real world."

Si Woo's Father: "Do you really understand the weight of your words, Son? Man should be careful with his word. You don't even know the depth of the root that you are trying to dig."

Si Woo: "I don't father, but I understand roughly, you the business tycoon of the Southeast Asia, one of the world's youngest millionaires but both father and I know that it is not true at all. Father also went on business trips to unknown regions, even when I was a kid. That is why, mother and I got into car accident while you weren't there for us right. I know something is happening because out of nowhere, you called your so-called uncle to teach me everything, including military breathing exercise and hand to hand combat techniques. I know that father isn't normal. But I want our relationship to be stable, just like before father and son. But I know something had been changed since mother isn't here anymore. But I still love you father. That's why I choose to shup my eyes and ears and live like normal teenager. But seem like not anymore..."

Si Woo's Father: (silence) (smile) "I don't know that my cute little boar is that smart, seem like daddy underestimate his own blood."

Si Woo: (serious silence) "Hee hee I am your son, after all."

Si Woo's Father: Ho Ho, you are indeed my beloved son. Alright I will let you go; I will tell my secretary to inform your school that you have been dropped out and planning to study abroad. I will even provide you; you own bank acc and credit card allowance with yearly withdraw limit. But under one condition...

Si Woo: "What might that one condition be, father?"

Si Woo's Father: "You said if yourself, you want to move out with your uncle. You didn't forget the bet between you and me, right? I lost and gave you a company under my name. Now, it is yours to manage. Grow it well and don't come back until before you kept your promise."

Si Woo: "What about you father?"

Si Woo's Father: "I will be fine. Don't tell me, you miss your old man already?"

Si Woo: "Ha ha ha, then I will set out and prepare to leave then."

Si Woo's Father: "Wait, take Mia with you as well."

"Mia is the daughter of my father's old friend, one day, his friend came to our house asking for help of my father, my father went together with him, mom and I didn't know where did they go to? Or what were they trying to achieve? But one week later, only my father came back with a little girl on this back, saying that she is his old friend's daughter and he promised him to keep her safe? "

"All of that happen when mom was alive, and she also agreed to keep Mia as one of her own children. Well, in fact she treated her even better than me. I felt jealous at that time but later when I grew older, I already knew the reason, and realize that I was being a junk. After dad heard about mom, he ordered everyone working in our house to resign. Since than Mia had been working as a house maid and my father forbit me to tell things about Mia or interact with Mia to anyone else. If he didn't mention, I might already forget about her. Of course, my stepmom didn't know about this, both her two evil sons as well."

Si Woo's Father: "Mia is now 17 years old, she can take care of herself. She had been training not less than you under James, since last month. In fact, she is more talent than you, Son. I want you to take her with you too."

Si Woo: "Dad, I don't know if she agrees or not?.."

Si Woo's Father: "It is her wish as well, if you are wondering? But only answer if you really carry the weight of your word."

Si Woo: "Dad....."(so Dad wants to take care of Mia with me), will she really be of help to me? (thinking). "Dad, then I will take her with me."

Si Woo's Father: Good, then. I will make the arrangements.

Si Woo: Yes, father. I will go pack my stuffs. You know, dad? I don't hate you and what happened to mom wasn't your fault. I bet mom doesn't want you to take the blame either.

(footsteps)(footsteps) (door shut)

(silence)

Si Woo's Father: "broken smile" (whisper) You are just like her, easily forgive others.....My dear's son.

Next day,

Si Bok: "I gonna miss you brother Si Woo, why don't you tell me that you are going to study abroad?"

Si Woo's Stepmom: "If I know that, I would have treated him better. Oh my, now you are going without saying goodbye. Huh?"

Si Wong: "Tsk... "

Si Woo: Then, Dad. I will go then. (smile) (thinking) (remember this is only the beginning when I come back. I won't be the same anymore."

At that time, I had no idea that how dangerous that the real world is. The only word that I could describe myself is "Naive."

"Me, James and Mia had set off to our destination like that."

On the way, (car wheel running noise)

Mia and Si Woo, we are stopping here. "

"Si Woo thinking"(But there is still a long way to the airport and there is nothing but forest here. We are middle of the mountain road. Wait, a group of people are coming out from the forest. No way, we are being ambush?"

James: "Being alert is good but these are my men."

From here on, these guys will disguise as us and drive our car to the airport station, Si Woo and Mia, you can leave you travel case with them, no passport, no ID card, you don't need to bring anything. Got it?

A group of people: "James, we have prepared what you ask for. SM"

James: Got it, we will leave immediately SM. We got company behind us; they will arrive in T-min 10mins.

A group of people: Roger that. SM.

Si Woo: "Are these are military? or specialized training forces? The way they talk, so James is from that field. I know my father maintained his business influence oversea, but I didn't think he would also relate to this kind of field."(thinking)

James: "Si Woo-ssi" "Mira-ssi" Let's go. We will go down this hill. I already trained you how to use a rope to climb down right?"

Si Woo/ Mira: Yes.

We started climbing down and crossed the forest path.

Mira: (breath) heavily.

Si Woo: Hey, if the bag is too heavy for you. Give it to me.

Mira: No, brother. I am fine. I don't want to be burden to you.

Si Woo: "Damn, we hadn't been talking like this for years" (flashback) Si Woo's Dad: "Si Woo, Mira is someone I own much to. Do take care of her in my stead. Alright?"

Si Woo: "Don't worry about, aren't I your brother? Mom said that as well, remember? Don't worry when you grow enough, I won't be helping out. Until then, don't worry." (smile)

James: "Si Woo" less speaking, keep walking. We have a long way to go.

Si Woo: "James, you aren't my real uncle, right?"

James: "Silence, what make you think that?"

Si Woo: "I never heard my father mentioned you before?"

James: "Did he need to?"

Si Woo: Silence. "James, now it is a right time to tell me what my father didn't tell me. What is all this about?"

James: "Have you ever heard of "Blood Diamonds"?

Si Woo: "Blood Diamonds?"

James: "Yes, your dad is once the military officer in the high-ranking order, he had to perform the secret operations that include the illegal trade of Blood Diamonds or human trafficking and other illegal smuggling."

Si Woo: "But isn't that what police have to do?"

James: "In normal case, yes. But even the chief of police is powerless in front of mountain of gold and money. So, your dad gathers his collages, form a group and he begin to track the smuggler on his own, without even informing his higher officer about this. More or less, his operation went success, and your dad is very good at what he does. Although he wants to retire after you was born, he can't deny the request of his old friends. Until, your mom accident, after that, he totally denied any request as if he doesn't care anymore."

Si Woo: "I thought my father is the businessman."

James: "He is. He is very good at doing business, with little helps from his friends and himself alone, he managed to grow his business to a multi-million-dollar business in a few years. Now, his business is worth hundreds of million, well on the top of iceberg that is."

Si Woo: "Then who are you? James."

James: "You will know soon enough, be patient. Except from Mira, there is someone who is going to be your secretary later on, arranged by your father. She is waiting for us."

Si Woo: "She?"

James: "Yes, she is also the youngest member of your father's team, maybe only a few years older than you?"

James: "well, I explain you briefly about things, the next is yours. I don't need to tell you right?"

Si Woo: "Of course."
