“What the hell is this…”
Yeoul hurriedly looked around the bedroom. His heart beat unstably at the unexpected disappearance of the two. Where did Shin Taeon go with Yeojin? Suddenly he felt a cold wind. Following that wind, he turned his head and saw the window was open. The windowsill was also covered with black footprints. It seemed they had gone out through here.
“Don’t tell me… they ran away?”
Yeoul felt his heart sink and his hands and feet turned cold. The time he had spent talking on the phone with Eun Sajun wasn’t very long. And he had come straight here immediately after finishing the call. Then they might still be nearby. Yeoul’s eyes sharpened. Just as he was about to hurry and climb over the windowsill…
A piece of paper flew over on the wind and fell to the floor. It was paper he hadn’t seen before. Yeoul picked it up suspiciously.
“Come to the back mountain.”
It was handwriting he had seen countless times over the past few years while being tormented by Shin Taeon. He remembered how Yeojin had climbed over the wall yesterday and gone over to the mountain. It seemed to be referring to there.
“I won’t let Shin Taeon get away with this.”
Yeoul bit his teeth hard. He hurriedly climbed over the windowsill and came outside. Then he felt vibration in his pocket. Wondering if it was Shin Taeon, he hurriedly took out his phone and checked the screen. The caller was Eun Sajun.
“Ah, right…”
Only then did Yeoul realize his mistake. He had never given this phone number to Shin Taeon, so there was no way he would know it. But why was he calling suddenly when they had just been talking until a moment ago? Yeoul answered with puzzlement.
“H-hello…?”
[Did Shin Taeon break into the mansion right now?]
“Huh.”
How did he know? Or did someone tell him? Yeoul swallowed his saliva and barely answered.
“That’s right…”
[Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?]
“Well…”
[Were you threatened or something?]
“Yes…”
Even if he tried to hide it, the situation was such that this assumption had to be made. A sigh from Eun Sajun came through the receiver.
[First, I’ve notified the staff. Secretary Kim will go there soon, so hurry and get out of there.]
“Ah… I… I think Yeojin was kidnapped by Shin Taeon.”
Yeoul explained the situation when Shin Taeon had invaded earlier. The story about the weakness was the same.
[I wondered why baby asked me such a question… First, baby should evacuate to a safe place.]
He understood his words in his head, but he couldn’t just sit still as he said. But since he wasn’t alone right now either, he couldn’t rashly step forward. Should he just leave it to Eun Sajun for now? While Yeoul was stamping his feet and worrying, Secretary Kim and other staff approached.
“Baby-nim, let’s go out quickly. It’s dangerous right now.”
“Ah… I think my younger brother is in that mountain right now.”
“Yes, I received word from the CEO. Don’t worry about that problem. Let’s go to the car first.”
Secretary Kim hurriedly led Yeoul to the sedan. Yeoul had no choice but to follow him.

In the mountains where tree branches were bare, Shin Taeon stood there with a cigarette in his mouth. And in front of him stood Yeojin with a furrowed brow. He wasn’t unconscious but looked perfectly fine.
“Shin Taeon, can I really trust you?”
“Of course.”
Shin Taeon curved his lips. Yeojin looked at him with difficulty. It was lamentable that Shin Taeon was the lifeline left to him. But there was no other way.
‘You’re pretending to have amnesia right now, aren’t you?’
After Eun Sajun saw through his amnesia yesterday, Yeojin trembled. In the end, Eun Sajun said it was his mistake, but his eyes were completely different. It was a calculating look as if measuring when to tear him apart and kill him. Overwhelmed by that, Yeojin forgot even the act of breathing.
Fear came like waves, and although Yeojin lay down on the bed to sleep, he was afraid that Eun Sajun might come in the middle of the night to kill him. Tossing and turning like that, he finally fell asleep around dawn.
But while sleeping, he felt like Yeoul had approached… Was it his imagination?
He felt like he had said something, but he couldn’t remember. He felt uncomfortable because it seemed like he had shown some inner part of himself that he didn’t even know about deep in his heart. How much time had passed after that? When he was about to wake up from sleep, an unbelievable presence was before his eyes.
It was Shin Taeon. Yeojin was utterly dumbfounded.
‘You… what… H-how did you get in here?’
‘Eun Sajun gave permission.’
‘Eun Sajun? Why?’
What kind of crazy situation was this? It felt like having something fishy shoved into his mouth in one bite. There was definitely some scheme.
‘Eun Sajun told me to take you and get lost. He said never to appear before his eyes again.’
‘What? That’s all he said?’
He naturally thought he would be killed, but he was letting him go like this? Something was strange. Or maybe Yeoul had asked Eun Sajun to let him go. Yeojin’s feelings toward Yeoul became strange once more.
‘Did you do something?’
Yeojin didn’t answer Shin Taeon’s question further. It was bothersome to explain everything in detail. For now, he was relieved that Eun Sajun didn’t seem to intend to harm him.
‘I’ll tell you later. So can I leave now?’
‘Yeah, huh? Hey, I think someone’s coming outside. Isn’t that Geum Yeoul? Just pretend to be sleeping for now.’
‘What? Why?’
‘I have something I want to say to Geum Yeoul, but if you’re awake, it might break the flow.’
Honestly, Yeojin didn’t want to listen to Shin Taeon’s request, but he couldn’t let Yeoul know about this escape situation either. Given Yeoul’s personality, if he said he was following Shin Taeon, there was a high possibility he would oppose it.
So Yeojin closed his eyes first.
Soon he heard Shin Taeon and Yeoul’s argument. As expected, Yeoul tried to protect him. He thought his hyung was really stupid. Because of that, Yeojin’s heart also beat strangely and felt queasy. After finishing the conversation with Shin Taeon, Yeoul left the bedroom again.
After that, Shin Taeon led Yeojin and came out through the window, and now they had arrived in these mountains. Yeojin really didn’t like Shin Taeon.
“But why are you making Geum Yeoul find Eun Sajun’s weakness and all that stuff? There’s no way Eun Sajun would give you a command to expose his own secrets, right?”
“Right. I just ordered it because I was pissed off.”
“As expected.”
“I can’t stand watching Eun Sajun win over Geum Yeoul like this. Fuck.”
Yeojin furrowed his brow mercilessly.
“Geum Yeoul is pregnant with Eun Sajun’s child. Even knowing that, do you still want to show such disgusting possessiveness?”
“What? Pregnant?”
Shin Taeon’s eyes widened as if amazed.
“What? You’re acting up without even knowing that?”
Yeojin was dumbfounded. Shin Taeon furrowed his brow.
“Ah. So Eun Sajun got to fuck him first after all. No wonder…”
Shin Taeon furrowed his brow and scratched his head vigorously.
“Fucking annoying. Really. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have told him to find out his weakness and should have just attacked him directly to make him miscarry. Ptui.”
Shin Taeon lamented and spat.
“But do you think Geum Yeoul will properly find out that weakness?”
Yeojin furrowed his brow toward Shin Taeon. Shin Taeon also threw the cigarette he was holding in his mouth to the ground and stamped it out with his shoe.
“Well. Of course he won’t be able to find it out. What crazy bastard would answer when asked about their weakness? I wanted to see him trembling with his spirit broken because he couldn’t properly follow my orders.”
Shin Taeon grinned as if he had discovered a festival. Geum Yeojin furrowed his brow as if witnessing something disgusting.
“But why did you come to the mountains?”
“I told Geum Yeoul to come here. If I catch him this time, I’ll fuck him thoroughly and mess him up. Hahaha! Now I know Geum Yeoul isn’t normal, so I won’t get stabbed in the side unexpectedly.”
Shin Taeon laughed greedily. Yeojin shot a sharp look at Shin Taeon.
“Pervert bastard.”
“Why? Does your heart feel bad now that it comes to killing your hyung?”
“……”
Yeojin couldn’t answer anymore.
That’s when it happened. The sound of tree branches shaking was heard. At the same time, someone’s footsteps were heard. He wondered if it was Yeoul, but the footsteps were too heavy for that. Soon what appeared before their eyes was…
“So you were all here.”
It was Eun Sajun in a black suit. Unlike his elegant beauty, what was gripped in his hand was a 30cm military knife. It was like the grim reaper existed before their eyes.
“Why are you here?”
Shin Taeon’s voice trembled as if seeing a ghost. Eun Sajun softly lowered his eyes. His gaze went to Yeojin for a moment, then moved to Shin Taeon.
“Just… I think it’s time to confirm my love for our baby now.”
“What? What kind of bullshit is this?”
Shin Taeon twisted his mouth.
“I’ll show you from now on.”
Sharp aggression appeared in Eun Sajun’s eyes.
