On their way back to Ha-yoon's room, "Speaking of Rushil, since he's a dad... Where's my dad?! didn't you say he'll try to be here before the 4th of July?" Seong-min Asked.
"I said He said that he'll try to be here before 4th of July!...But you're kinda right to be worried about it.
It could be that your grandpa is overworking him again, that's why he's late." Soo-Min replied.
"About grandpa, Are you sure he has no idea of what happened?"
"Don't worry princess, This time Your dad and I are working together to cover-up your kidnapping, the last thing we need is your grandpa on our backs.
I can assure you that old hag has no idea.
Besides, you should be more worried when he finds out you're going to release music, although you're studying business for the company's sake, your grandpa is sure to be furious with you doing music on the side."
Sighing, "That's why I need to be prepared." Seong-min replied.
"Prepared? how?" Soo-Min asked.
"I'll deal with him just like I dealt with dad, I'll blackmail him." Seong-min replied.
Surprised, "You have something against your grandpa?!" She asked.
"No, but I gotta find something, and quick.
Knowing grandpa, he's more afraid over his reputation than me, I need to find something solid on him to be prepared for his attack, if he tried to interfere with my music career I have to be ready." Seong-min replied.
"It may not be easy." Soo-Min said.
"Why? you think he's clean?"
"No, I believe there's something.
I know that old man isn't an angel, and your dad and I tried to find dirt on him before, during the time I was married to him.
But I searched everywhere in the house, and even at the company and the vacation villa, but your grandpa was very careful."
"Shit... Doesn't that mean there's nothing on him?!" Seong-min argued.
"Not exactly, there's no way a man like him is clean." Soo-Min replied.
"I need to think of something else then? what if he's actually got nothing on him?" Seong-min asked.
"You're not on your own princess.
We'll do it like the police, if we can't find evidence, we make some...we'll set him up!
Just wait for me until I go back to Korea, I'll start working on it right away!" Soo-Min replied smirking.
"Just don't kill him." Seong-min joked, "If he does ends-up dead, rest assure that he deserved it." Soo-Min replied.
"Eomma, You're really surprising me.
I always knew that you were hiding a big secret, but I expected that secret to be you being a secret CIA agent or something like that, I didn't expect you to be an assassin." Seong-min said.
"I'm the one who's surprised, you're taking the news of me being a killer, so easily." Soo-Min replied, "I thought you'll at least want to keep a distance from me."
"Would it be weird if I told you that I actually feel more safe now around you." Seong-min said chuckling, her words make Soo-Min stop in her track.
Confused, "Huh? why did you stop walking?" Seong-min asked as she stopped walking as well.
Smiling, "I was right, you're changing princess." Soo-Min replied, "You're reminding me of your dad."
Rolling her eyes, "We're not in a kdrama, let's go! Ha-yoon is probably worried since we took our time." Seong-min said and continued walking.
... Meanwhile...
Pacing the floor of their bedroom, "Okay Minnie...no it's fine, take as much of days as you need." Radka said while speaking on the phone.
Rushil who was laying on the bed supposedly reading a book, was actually watching Radka.
He saw how she smiled as she reassured Minnie that it was alright for her to leave for couple of days, he was bothered by how gentle Radka was speaking to Minnie but didn't dare to voice his thoughts.
"Minnie, do you need me to come to you...If you want to talk...uh, okay, I'll believe you don't need me right now, but if you change your mind, don't hesitate to call me again okay!
No matter what time it is, I'll pick up, I promise." Radka said.
Sighing, Rushil slightly glared at Radka without her noticing, then he put the book he was reading on the night stand and grabbed his phone as he got up from the bed.
Pushed by his emotions, Rushil found himself walking out of their bedroom.
Out of habit, he headed straight for the kitchen and open the fridge, Despite it being so late at night, it's never too late for food and Rushil wanted to eat his stress away, but ended up feeling disappointed.
He realized he didn't want anything that's already made and stored in the fridge, so Rushil grabbed his apron instead and began picking out ingredients.
If he couldn't find something he wanted to eat, he'll make something himself.
But there was still a little problem, As he chose the ingredients, he realized he didn't know what he actually wants to eat.
"Ughhhh...What the hell!" He grunted, slamming his fists on the countertop, Then he remembered something.
"Soo-Min's channel!" He said then quickly grabbed his phone and looked for her channel, he started sifting through the videos to see which meal he was going to make.
He found a video that interested him, the title said 'Quick but satisfying late night Home made snacks'.
"How come I never watched this video before?" Rushil asked himself.
Suddenly, "There you are!" Radka said as she waltzed into the kitchen, she was smiling and for some reason it pissed Rushil off.
"What you're doing here?" he asked annoyed.
Puzzled, "Woah! we didn't even get to sleep for you to wake up on the wrong side of the bed!" She replied jokingly, "Also I should be the one asking you what you're doing here.
You just left all of the sudden, and seeing you with your apron on at such hour is worrying me." She added.
"Did you finish talking with Minnie?" He asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing, if you got nothing to do you can go to sleep, I'm not coming Until I eat something."
"Really? what are you about to cook?" Radka asked curiously, then she noticed his phone and caught a glimpse of The video He was watching.
"Is that Soo-Min?" she asked, "Yeah, I was looking through her channel for an idea, now if you're done bothering me, leave." Rushil replied coldly.
He might've gotten angrier now since Radka followed him to the kitchen, but Rushil was no longer the only one experiencing negative emotions.
Radka felt hurt that Rushil was acting this way and she got angry because she didn't know why, maybe she was also a little jealous too.
To add salt to injury, after telling her to leave, Rushil turned the video's volume and sat down on one of the kitchen chair, watching it.
Radka was still standing by the door, now glaring at her husband's phone, and feeling more angry the more she listened to Soo-Min's voice.
"Put that phone down." She said but Rushil didn't pay her any mind.
"Rushil, idk why you're angry but can we talk?" She spoke again, and again Rushil chose to ignore her, he even turned the volume higher to piss her off.
For the next few minutes, Radka felt like a vain in her neck is about to pop, She watched Rushil who continued watching the video while ignoring her, he was smiling and enjoying it everytime Soo-Min sang or said something funny.
"No wonder Seong-min wants to become a singer, when her mother is so talented!" Rushil commented, his smile dropped when he saw that Radka was still there, glaring.
Sighing, "Leave me alone! I don't want to see you right now!" He said annoyed.
Rushil waited for Radka to burst or say something but instead, she actually left.
Walking away from the kitchen, Radka stomped her way to the front door, grabbed her car keys and got out of the house.
Realizing his wife left the house, Rushil hurried to catch up to her, he wanted her to leave to the bedroom, not outside?!
"Rad, RAD?! What the hell are you doing in the middle of the night?!" he Asked running after her, but Radka went straight to her car without answering.
She was faster than him, and she climbed into her seat, locking the vehicle before Rushil could get in to stop her.
"Rad Stop it! get out and let's talk! you wanted to talk right! let's talk then!" Rushil said while tapping on her window.
"Rushil, please move away." She replied while starting the engine.
"I'm sorry, don't leave!" Rushil said in disbelief, "I said move!" Radka replied firmly.
Fed-up, "Where are you going, to Minnie perhaps?!" he asked angrily, this caught Radka's attention.
"Wait...is this about Minnie?! you're angry because I Spoke to Minnie?!" She asked, "YES IT'S ABOUT FUCKING MINNIE!" Rushil screamed.
Hearing this, Radka decided to come out of the car, she stood in front of Rushil looking down at him with surprise On her face.
"Rushil...Are you jealous of Minnie?" she asked, "I am... just like how you were jealous of Lydia, only in my case I didn't go to ruin Minnie's life out of my jealousy, like you did and still doing to Lydia!" he replied.
"Okay, first of all...you're right, I am still being a bitch to Lydia and it's mostly because I'm jealous of her, but you can't expect me to forgive the girl just like that?! she aided a murderer to kidnap an innocent girl, so the guy she likes gets to have his revenge!
And second, Minnie?! Really?! You are jealous of the girl whom I consider to be like a daughter to me?!" Radka said in surprise.
Embarrassed, Rushil bit his lips while looking away from Radka, " Everyone thinks you're dating her behind my back." He said.
"Who's everyone, the fuck said that?!" Radka asked unable to believe what she's hearing.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter who said it because I don't believe them... It's just that the way you were so worried and gentle with Minnie, it made me feel jealous.
And I know I was being an asshole earlier, I shouldn't have asked you to leave but I felt so angry at myself.
I should've trusted you! I mean there's no way you were cheating on me..." Rushil replied as he started shaking uncontrollably, he was about to cry.
"People did not lie when they said that Assumptions are the termites of relationships...just Come here." Radka said dragging him into a hug.
She wrapped her arms around him protectively as he began sopping in her embrace, "You acted just like how i acted about Lydia, I guess now I see why you got so mad at me because of what I did to Lydia...I was being a jerk then, and honestly you handled your suspicion of me and Minnie better than I handled yours with Lydia." Radka said.
"I'm sorry...I don't know... what's gotten into me?! *Sobbing* I know I'm being paranoid!" Rushil replied.
"No it's okay, you're not...I gave you enough reasons with what happened with Lily." Radka said, "I might've not been in love with Lily as my heart has always been yours...but I was physically attracted to her and if I did have a chance...only god knows I would've done something." Radka said, "But believe me, I swear there's nothing between me and Minnie, nothing physical or mental.
I sometimes forget that I didn't actually give birth to her, that's how much of a daughter-like she's to me." she added chuckling.
"I'm sorry Rad...I really love you, I love us." Rushil said, "I know, I love us too.
I love how When we're together, we make amazing things, like our son." Radka replied kissing the top of her husband's head.
