“Today is enough to get here. Keep an eye on the development of the Jeju project that Jaehyun handled and give the report to me” Taehyun said. He moved his neck around while leaning his back against the back of his tired work chair, then glanced at the wall clock in his room that pointed at the figure of eight nights. His body was completely exhausted, while his eyes began to look heavy.

“Good. I know..” Baekki was about to stand up from his place, when Taehyun suddenly held him back.

“Baek, I'm considering something.” Taehyun's face is still filled with a serious expression like a few hours ago. This was Han Taehyun, he would be a different person when it came to work. Baekki knew enough that his boss was being serious this time, until he sat back on the chair in front of Taehyun and waited for the man to explain the meaning of his ambiguous words.

“It's about Shin Jihyun”

Goody. Just as the name was called, Baekki immediately stared at Taehyun's sharp bead of eyes.

“Hey, relax. Don't look at me like that. I want to pull Jihyun into the design section. The new design team. What say?”

Baekki exhaled her breath that had been held back. He leaned his back on the back of his seat and folded his legs while still staring at Taehyun flatly.

“You really want to lock us up apparently.” said Baekki who sounded like a fine syndicate.

Head of the design team? According to Baekki this is a little outrageous. Jihyun would be really busy when she was in that position. Even in Baekki's heart, he thought that this was Taehyun's way to postpone his marriage. But even Baekki himself can't do anything. This boss has a hard heart that is hard to guess.

“Alright if you think it's the best.”

Taehyun laughed heartily when he saw the change in Baekki's facial expression that really looked tormented.

“Don't think badly of me, Baek. I'll give you time off to get married after the launch of HS lebel this time.”

“You've been saying the same thing since the middle of last year, Han Taehyun!”

“Hahaha.. Really?”

“Stop laughing, or I'll really kill you!” furious Baekki. The man immediately rose from his position, tidying up the files on his desk with a sulky look like a child who lost his toy.

“Hey, are you mad at me?” tehran Taehyun

“Capit home! Your wife must have been waiting for” And Lee Baekki really left after. Taehyun who was left behind started to regret his actions a little. Without realizing it, even his lips were muttering an apology to the secretary who was now in the doorway of his study.

“Baek, sorry.”

Lee Baekki with his heavy steps and his body that clearly looks so tired is walking on the long hallway\-hall of the Han company baseman who already looks lonely. He had glanced at the clock on his wrist when looking for the car keys earlier, and he seemed accustomed to seeing the clock that had pointed at the mid-nine-night figure. In fact, he still wanders around this building area. The endless work, making Baekki have to give up almost half of the time in a day to be in the office, staring at the files\-file on his desk that always piles up and loses his youth just like that.

Baekki opened the door of his white car and intended to enter immediately when a bright spot of lights hit his eyes. Baekki's reflex blocked both of his eyes with one side of his arm. At that time, Taehyun had just entered from the door of the baseman not far from where Baekki was standing. Taehyun could see so clearly as Baekki was trying to stare away at the black sedan car that stopped in front of him.

Taehyun was even able to hear the horn from the car very clearly, as if the owner was asking Baekki to come to him. And in fact Baekki did walk over to the black car, shortly after closing the car door. The car owner opened the passenger door from the inside, and Baekki sat there.

As the lights in the car lit up, Taehyun turned his back and was completely shocked by what he was seeing. That person, the woman beside Baekki is Lady Yoon, her stepmother. Taehyun's forehead wrinkled in confusion. He hides behind one of the cars and keeps a close eye on Baekki and Yoon's suspicious-looking movements.

On the other hand, Baekki was also shocked. Since a few minutes ago, his eyes had not once escaped Madam Yoon.

“Lee Baekki-ssi, long time no talk to you. You've grown into a handsome man now. It feels like just yesterday I saw you still learning how to bike with your App. You're really an adult.” greet madam Yoon mince words.

“Sorry madam, what is this? You want to talk to me?” Lady Yoon smiled cunningly, then looked into Baekki's bead eyes.

“This is what I like about you, Baek. Just like your late father, you're not the kind of person who enjoys convoluting. All right, we're straight to the point of this conversation. I'm interested in you. Work for me Lee Baekki-ssi.”

“Ya?”

“Didn't your goal be to serve my husband all this time for money? How much did that old man give you? Just tell me how many, and I'll give you triple.” Lady Yoon paused for a moment and waited for a reaction from Baekki.

“I didn't make any difficult conditions for you. I won't give you a hard task either. Just stay by Taehyun's side. Stay the person of his confidence and report all his gestures to me!”

Baekki's forehead crinkled in disbelief at what he had just heard with his ears. “Sorry madam, I don't understand what you mean.”

“And do you think I believe in your words? Oh come on Baek. I know you're not that stupid.” back Madame Yoon hangs up her words. He continued to observe changes in Baekki's facial features to at least guess what the young man had in mind.

“You just need to give me important company documents. And in return I'll give you whatever you want.”

“Sorry madam, but I will never do that!” reject Baekki firmly.

“Don't be in a hurry, think carefully about this offer of mine, Baek. I just don't want you to regret that in the end” lady Yoon's persuasion seemed to be a waste considering Lee Baekki wasn't the type of person who would be tempted by such seductions. Baekki remained firm on his stance. In fact he intends to open the car door to Lady Yoon and run out of there. But Baekki's hand soon comes to a halt at the car door as Yoon's mistress returns to open her voice.

“I heard you and manager Shin have a very serious relationship? I heard you guys are getting married soon?”

‘Deggh..’ Baekki looked away and began to look panicked. Shin Jihyun, Baekki doesn't want anything bad to happen to her girl. No, Baekki would never be able to forgive herself until Lady Yoon did something bad to the girl. Not bad thinking about the woman in front of him, but Baekki know enough and really understand the bad habits of Lady Yoon who he has always investigated secretly. The woman could even do everything she could to get whatever she wanted. Including removing Taehyun's mother from the Han family palace with an unwarranted bad accusation.

Several years ago Mr. Han kicked Taehyun's mother out of the house because he found his beloved wife in the basement of his residence with his personal driver Tae Jung. Mr. Han has been consumed by the sedition of Ms. Yoon who has prepared a grand plan to frame Taehyun and Tae Jung's mother. Making the scenario as if the two had actually cheated on Mr. Han.

Baekki wouldn't have known about this if Ahjumma Hyo, one of the maids at Lord Han's residence hadn't come to him a few days ago. I don't know what prompted the middle-aged woman to reveal the big truth to Baekki. But what Baekki knew, there was no lie in Aunt Hyo's eyes when she told him the details of the chronology of the night. Even Baekki still remembered both of aunt Hyo's hands shaking when she said Lady Yoon would really kill her if she knew Aunt Hyo told others about this.

“Lee Baekki-ssi.” monitor Mrs Yoon who managed to restore the mind of Baekki who had traveled. The man gasped slightly as he felt a soft touch on his shoulder. He looked at Madam Yoon while once muttering an apology from her lips.

“How's Lee Baekki-ssi? Are you interested in working for me?”

Baekki was silent. He looks doubtful.

“I heard you love Shin Jihyun so much? You don't want it, something bad might happen pad-”

“Jihyun has absolutely nothing to do with this Madam! Don't involve him in anything!” sergeant Baekki sharp.

“And that means you will work for me.” Lady Yoon pulled the corner of her lips to form a sneaky smile.

“Whatever happens you'll still be on my side, Baek. I will do everything for it.” muttered mistress Yoo softly.

The third week of mid-autumn. The wind outside blows hard. The leaves of the oak trees in the garden behind the house were seen flying in the wind. Thin white clouds still adorn the blue sky that is refracting the yellow light of the sun. Nara stood on the balcony of her room overlooking the garden behind the spacious-looking Han family residence. A few days ago, this is what he always did. Stay in her room without doing anything meaningful.

She wanted to get out of there, but again all that desire had to go away when her stubborn husband kept forbidding her from going out. Nara has been a prisoner since that night. Taehyun only gave him permission to leave when he said he had a lecture schedule. And even at such times, Taehyun did not allow Nara to go alone. He always asks Jindo, his personal driver to take Nara and wait for her until all her affairs are resolved. For God's sake, Nara's saturated with her life. She was too tired to protest and curse at her husband. All of that felt useless considering how hard Taehyun stood.

“What are you doing?” tehyun from inside the room. The man just came out of the bathroom. He was wearing black pants and also a long-sleeved white shirt that had not been fully buttoned. Next to her hand was a white towel she was using to dry her wet hair. Really Taehyun's face really looked seductive with a huddle of water dripping from his black hair. Nara chapped. What kind of crazy thing is Taehyun doing. Is that guy teasing her now? No, Nara doesn't want to go into her trap anymore.

“I asked, what are you doing Kim Nara. Why didn't you answer me?” Taehyun was still standing in the doorway of his room balcony. His eyes looked at Nara with interest.

“Well, what do you think I can do in this room Han Taehyun? How long are you gonna lock me up like this?” Nara walked into her room, passing Taehyun who was standing at the balcony door without even a single look at her. It runs on the wall closet located in the right corner of the room and picks up a black tuxedo and striped tie in matching colors. Then walked out while watching her husband who was still standing on the side of the balcony door that opened.

“Until you wake up and promise to obey all your husband's orders.” muttered Taehyun.

Nara walked over to her husband. His hands stretched out to button one by one the buttons of Taehyun's white shirt, then grabbed his shirt collar and hooked a tie there. While doing her duty, Nara seemed to not give up on shaking her husband's stance.

“I've done everything you told me to do, Tae! I didn't even get out of this room without your permission. What else do you want from me? You want me to age in here? Lost all my youth and locked up like a prisoner in this house? Come on, I'm really bored, Tae.”. Nara bowed as she muttered her wish. His eyes looked completely bored and at that point Taehyun knew that he was a little overreacting.

“You really want to get out of here?” tanya Taehyun while raising Nara's chin to look at her. Nara nodded. His lips moved to form a sweet smile, so without saying much Taehyun landed his lips on the surface of the leaves of Nara's red lips and kissed her anxiously. A few moments later, he seemed to smile lightly.

“Good. Come with me to the office. Today I don't have much work, so maybe we can go somewhere later. How?”

Nara nodded her head with sparkling eyes. Without realizing it, his beautiful face looks so funny when he does it and Taehyun just hugged his wife's body tightly.

“Haah, Kim Nara you are really dangerous! I guess I won't be able to hold myself back when I'm near you.” snorted Taehyun who then released his wife's body. He took the tuxedo in Nara's hand and immediately put it on.

The outside atmosphere of the Han’s Group building looked the same as in the previous days. It still stands strong and looks magnificent in the middle of beautiful Seoul. A black sedan car owned by Taehyun parked in his courtyard that looks hollow. Taehyun opened the steering wheel door, gave his car keys to one of his employees and walked up to Nara who was standing in front of the entrance of the Han company building. Taehyun clasped Nara's hand and went to her room on the tenth floor.

Just now the two got off the elevator and were intending to walk towards Taehyun's room, but suddenly a shout from behind sounded so shrill. Shin Jihyun appeared to run over to Taehyun and Nara. His steps sounded so urgent and his hands were holding onto a shirt so tightly. Taehyun's forehead creased as Jihyun reached before him. The girl painstakingly adjusted her breathing which was still stingy. Even Jihyun's hand held Nara's arm as a plumber of her body that looked lunglai.

“What is the team leader? Why do you look panicked?” ask Taehyun. Jihyun was still trying to regulate the air rate in her lungs which still felt heavy. Then he handed the clothes in his hand towards Taehyun. Jihyun's eyes looked confused.

“Isn't this the winter shirt Hyeri made? What was? Didn't you show me a sample of this shirt yesterday?” taehyun said as she observed the clothes in her hands. He looked at Jihyun confused.

“Director, look at the label on that shirt.”

And Taehyun immediately took off the collar in his hand and saw the company's Diamond lebel stamped there. The eagle-eyed Taehyun snorted sharply towards Jihyun.

“This what?!” his yell.

Jihyun just bowed down, but she seemed to be starting to decipher word by word to explain the situation.

“Director, looks like our company's winter design has leaked. Diamond company has done a large production with the exact same design with HS lebel design. They even started selling this product on the market. There is definitely someone who has stolen our design. Because there's no way they could produce something exactly the same. Even we just started the production process two days ago.”

Taehyun remained silent. His head throbbed pain until he moved to massage his temples slowly.

“I heard this was already known to Chairman Han and he was really very angry, director.” Jihyun added in a low tone that sounded full of pressure.

Taehyun's eyes looked back at Jihyun. There was a worried gurat in his gaze and he looked irritated as he exhaled a long breath from his lips. Taehyun's fingers slipped into his tuxedo pocket and immediately grabbed his phone. He stared at the screen and began to contact someone. While waiting for the dial tone from his phone he looked back at Jihyun and asked her whereabouts of his secretary.

“Lee Baekki, where?”

Jihyun nodded. Yes, the girl does not know where her lover is. Baekki hasn't even contacted him since last night. The last time Baekki called him, he just said that maybe he'll be really busy tomorrow. And Baekki asks Jihyun to take care of herself, be careful with her surroundings and stay alert. Indeed, until this moment even Jihyun was still confused by what the meaning of Baekki's words. But he was pretty sure that the man just didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
