Chapter 7

The investigation team tried searching for Moon Hanbyeol and they could not find anything on the Moon sisters. They search for their parents through the names they got from Seulgi and they found out that the Moon couple were rich people who had been residing in Italy for over 20 years now. When they search further on why the twins were not on the family record, they confirmed that the twins were illegitimate children.

The next day arrived. Yeong-hae called Jin who was keeping an eye on Seulgi. After receiving the report that everything was fine there, she dressed up to meet Seulgi at B park.

Yeong-hae stayed at the hotel with her parents after the incident. She was not ready to go back to the place that would haunt her. The misery would be unbearable if she lose another family member or anyone close to her.

Eric and the team have already been stationed at the park taking their position. They chose B-park because people hardly walk across it. Jia stayed at the safe house to guard Leina. They must take Seulgi under their custody so that Hanbyeol does not play any swiping game.

Seulgi was waiting for her sitting on one of the benches when she arrived. Yeong-hae walked up to her and apologized for making her wait. She checked her watch and it showed 10: 45. “When did you arrive here?” She wondered why Eric did not update her that Seulgi was already there.

“A few minutes ago.” Seulgi smiled at Yeong-hae.

Yeong-hae sat down beside Seulgi and started to tell her why she must come with them and the misunderstanding that would arise due to the look alike. Seulgi listened carefully and in the end agreed to do what Yeong-hae had suggested.

“Do you want to ask anything?”

“What will you do once you catch her?” Seulgi asked.

“Nothing. She must only repent for what she has done.” Yeong-hae grinned. “So, did you bring it?"

"Huh?...I...forgot." Seulgi replied with a guilty smile.

Yeong-hae reciprocated the smile and answered, "It's okay. So, tell me why you are not staying with your family?”

“I ran away from home.” the smile withered to a long face and Seulgi hung her head low as she said.

“When?”

Seulgi thought for a while and replied, “Around three years ago.”

Yeong-hae stood up. “It must be hard for you.”, and she took a few steps forward. She quickly turned around, pulled out her gun, and pointed it at Seulgi. Seulgi was taken back in surprise.

“You are not Seulgi.”

After staring at her for a second, Hanbyeol cackled upon hearing it. “Wow. I think I gave away when you asked for whatever it was.” She then leaned back on the bench and sneered at Yeong-hae. “But what will you do with that? Are you going to kill me?” Hanbyeol taunted Yeong-hae, squeezing her body and pouting.

“What did you do to Seulgi?”, Yeong-hae gripped her gun tighter.

Hanbyeol exhaled and answered rather unconcerned. “She was being a bad daughter so I sent her back to my parents. I mean I just can’t kill my twin because she pissed me off.”

Yeong-hae whistled signaling Eric and the team. The whistle traveled but none responded. Yeong-hae quickly scanned the area. “What did you do?” Yeong-hae was ready to fire the gun anytime.

Hanbyeol got up and approach in front of the gun. She smirked and stood at the tip of the gun. “A beauty like you should not wield a gun.” Yeong-hae at once knew she was cornered. “Tell me what happened to others?”

“It’s okay. I haven’t killed them yet. Ah except for the one who guarded my foolish sister.” Hanbyeol grinned. The next thing, someone hit Yong-sun in her neck and she fell on the ground.

Yeong-hae groaned at the pain in her neck. She massaged it as she woke up.

“Yeong-hae, you are okay?”, Eric helped her to sit up.

“What happened?”

“We got ambushed.” Eric clenched his fist. Yeong-hae could not control her emotion upon hearing the news. “What about Tae-hyun?”

“I don’t know. I woke up alone in this room.” The room has one door and one ventilator fan through which the evening red sunlight sneaks in.

Yeong-hae checked the room around. The door was locked and she could not hear anything from outside. Soon night falls and the light bulb in the room flickered before it lit up properly.

The sound of the door opening alerted both of them and they moved back in caution. The door opened and Hanbyeol walked in along with her men. She scanned Eric with her eyes and scrunch her nose. “Bring the lady only. Use the man to find out where the bitch is.”

One of the men walked forward and grip Yong-sun’s hands behind her to drag. Eric tried to stop him but he was held back by the others. “Don’t you dare try to do anything to her”

“Not do what?” Hanbyeol asked with a straight face. “Don’t touch her.” Eric huffed as he was in the hands of the men holding him.

“This?” Hanbyeol laughed. She signaled the man to bring Yeong-hae to her. She gazed at Yeong-hae with a sly expression and grasp her chin, pulling Yong-sun’s face closer. Her thumb gently rubs the soft lips as she brings her head closer. Hanbyeol then kissed her roughly and sucked on Yeong-hae’s lower lip as she raises her brow glancing at Eric.

Yeong-hae kicked Hanbyeol’s shin to break the kiss. Yeong-hae gritted her teeth glaring at Hanbyeol. Hanbyeol grunted in pain and slapped Yeong-hae across her face in anger. She then hopped out of the room with the man dragging Yeong-hae out and the others left in the room with Eric.

On her way out, Yeong-hae saw Tae-hyun lying on the floor in the middle of a small crowd. His face was covered in blood and she could not make out his eyes and nose. She could not tell if he was still alive or dead. Her eyes were fixed on the body as she got dragged away further.

Yeong-hae was locked up in a room with Hanbyeol. It was a bedroom with a lot of useless things lying around. “Don’t try anything stupid. I just want to talk with you. Pretty lady.” Hanbyeol sat down on the bed. She taps on the bed, telling Yeong-hae to come and sit by her side.

“What do you want?” Yeong-hae did not move.

“You. I don’t know if you still remember but we met once at the station. You put one of my men in prison. Since then, I took an interest in you. You look so beautiful. By the way, did you like the coffee? I made it.”

Yeong-hae made a face of disgust. She thought Hanbyeol was just an ordinary working woman that fate decided to let them meet.

“Hey, I am kidding. Don’t give me that face. I don’t want my baby to hate me.”

“Why are you showing yourself now?”

“Because I am tired of hiding. When I saw you, I also thought of getting arrested by your hands.”

Hanbyeol gazed at Yeong-hae who was standing still, clearly showing her hatred toward Hanbyeol. Hanbyeol took a deep breath and exhaled. “I told you I am kidding. Ah, yes. I want one more thing. That girl who came to you for help. I want her back.”

“Why?”

“To kill her,” Hanbyeol replied slightly irritated because Yeong-hae did not reciprocate her love.

Yeong-hae felt sick hearing those words. She was not dealing with a mediocre murderer but a psychopath.

“If you give her to me, I will let you live. And that fake boyfriend of yours.” Hanbyeol smiled. “I am sorry the other one died while they were playing with him.”

Yeong-hae’s anger has reached its limit and attacked Hanbyeol. It is either you or me.

They got into a fight, destroying everything in there. Both got injured in the process. Yeong-hae kicked Hanbyeol in defense and she stumbled on the bed. Yeong-hae got on top of her and landed continuous punches on the face, cutting it and leaving bruises. Hanbyeol started to laugh hideously while taking those hard punches.

In a fraction of a second, the table turned when Hanbyeol used her remaining strength to push Yeong-hae over. Hanbyeol restrained Yeong-hae on the bed, choking her throat. Yeong-hae gasped for air as her face turned blue.

“You just don’t want me to die easily, do you?” Hanbyeol suddenly kissed Yeong-hae while choking her. Everything turned white in Yeong-hae’s eyes. With her lips still on Yeong-hae’s, Hanbyeol released her hand and pinned Yeong-hae’s hands above her head. She broke the kiss and bit her lips watching Yeong-hae cough and breath heavily. “You are a bad girl.”

The door knocked and Hanbyeol got down from the bed to open it.

“We found her.” A man reports.

She looked back at Yeong-hae and grinned. “We found her.”
