“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.

“Hallo, where are you? Can I go to my office now?” taehyun said behind the phone.

“Something bad happens in the company. The winter design you made leaked. And other companies have massively marketed the product.” Taehyun tried to explain very briefly.

“Alright, come quickly, I'm waiting for you Lee Hyeri.” Taehyun's tone sounds so restless. He even had to ask Hyeri to come when the girl was at the airport and intended to return to Paris. Taehyun's feelings are really messed up. How could something like this happen? It kept spinning around in Taehyun's mind, to the point that he didn't realize that his hands were clenched to hold back his boiling rage.

Nara walked over to her husband sitting in his chair. He touched Taehyun's shoulder, stroked her gently and continued to try to calm her down through his touch.

“Shin Jihyun, you still can't contact Lee Baekki?” taehyun said to the girl who had been struggling with her phone.

“No. He turned off his phone. I really don't know where Baekki is.”

“What is he really doing? Where is he at a time like this!”

“Already, Tae. There's a lot Baekki has to work out. Don't be like that to her.” Nara again tried to dampen her husband's emotions that re-emerged.

‘Braaakk..’ Taehyun's door opened so hard. Lee Hyeri walked in with her angry steps. Behind her, Hyunjin followed Hyeri's footsteps in silence.

“How could something like this happen? That's my design, Tae! You even saw me draw it back then! This is impossible!” hyeri snapped while throwing the mock suit she was carrying at Taehyun's desk.

Yes, at the airport earlier he did find his design on display at one of the stores. Hyeri bought one of those clothes and observed it along the way to the Han company building earlier. He's upset. Of course, the design has been imitated, where maybe Hyeri is not angry.

“I'm sorry, Hyeri. It's my fault for not directly registering your design and instead keeping it in the office. But no one knows I put that design here.”

“Then how could someone steal it Han Taehyun!”

“That's what I asked Lee Hyeri about! No one knows I put it in there except you, me and Baekki”

“There's no way I leaked my own design, Tae! You think I'm crazy?!”

“I also can't do anything bad to my company Hyeri-ah!”

The two men were fighting each other. The two try to understand each other's direction of thought so that they do not need to say much they know each other's intentions.

“If not us, then there is only one person, right?” said Taehyun flatly.

“There is no way Lee Baekki did it, Tae.” bela Nara. He walked closer and closer towards Taehyun and Hyeri who were standing face to face. While Hyunjin and Jihyun from earlier could only watch the debate in silence.

Taehyun did not listen to Nara. He was much more focused on the direction of his conversation and Hyeri. He was even believing his current thoughts to whatever Nara said seemed useless to him.

“You remember what I told you a few days ago?” taehyun asked Hyeri. The girl nodded to make sure.

“Everything is clear now. I didn't expect Baekki to go this far” Hyeri said.

Hearing several times the name Baekki is called makes Jihyun feel something bad is happening to her lover. Jihyun who had just been silent began to look to dare herself to ask.

“Se-actually what is going on? What happened to Baekki? What's he doing?” ask Jihyun.

Everyone looked at him at that moment. No exception Hyeri. He glanced at Jihyun at a glance and then came back face to face with Taehyun as if he was discussing through the deep look of his eyes. Hyeri nodded slowly and a moment later Taehyun opened his desk drawer and pulled out a brown envelope from inside. slowly Jihyun started walking closer to Taehyun's desk as the director opened the brown envelope in her hand and took out a few photos of Baekki from inside.

“i-ini?” Jihyun took a picture of Baekki in a black car. Beside Baekki, Madame Yoon is sitting on the steering wheel.

Jihyun's eyes stared at Taehyun, trying to ask for more explanation of what was going on. Nara did the same. She also looked at her husband in confusion.

“Looks like Baekki's already turned away. I saw him talking to that woman a few days ago. After that I asked Jindo to follow Baekki and that's what I got. Looks like Baekki is no longer on our side.”

Jihyun surprised. His eyes were rounded, even a photograph in his hand was seen falling on the floor. The girl shook her head slowly. No, that can't happen. At least that's what Jihyun is trying to believe. There's no way her boyfriend would do such a thing. Baekki is not that kind of person.

“What is going on here?!” cry Mr. Han from the doorway of Taehyun's study. Everyone in the room rolled his eyeballs at the same point, where the middle-aged male figure was walking closer with a secretary trailing behind him. Master Han approached Jihyun and suddenly the girl lowered her head in salute.

Mr. Han's hand stretched out to take a photo strewn across Taehyun's desk. He observes Baekki's image for a moment, then hints at his secretary to leave him alone with his son. Both Hyeri, Nara, Jihyun and Hyunjin, all of those people walked out of Taehyun's study and let the two talk further. Mr. Han sat down on Taehyun's sofa workspace. His eyes kept paying attention to one by one Baekki's photos there.

“What really happened to Han Taehyun? Why are you so stupid to let something like this happen?!” reprimand master Han loudly.

“I'm sorry, dad.”

“Did I tell you to keep a good eye on this project? Didn't I warn you to be careful! I have also told you no, that this product is very important for the sustainability of HS lebel. Why are you so careless!” snarled master Han.

This time the middle-aged man also threw pictures of Baekki in his hands onto Taehyun's desk. He looked at his son angry.

“You're not becus or what, huh? If you can't do all this well you should have said from the beginning, so I can take your place with Jaehyun! You know how much the company loses because of your stupidity!”

Taehyun's hands clenched tightly. His anger was so felt through the look in his eyes that kept staring at Master Han sharply.

“Why are you just silent? Don't want to say something about this?”

“HAN TAEHYUN!!” cry Mr. Han.

“If you really want to replace my position with Jaehyun, then just do it. Do everything you want aboji! You can also kick me out like you drove out eomma-”

‘Plakk..’ hard slap landed on Taehyun's right cheek. “Stop saying stupid useless things!”

Taehyun. Her hand held her right cheek which was hot, and her lips no longer said.

“Rather than you spend your time on useless things you better think about this matter. I'll give you two weeks to prepare a new product. This is your last chance, I don't want to see you fail. Finish everything well or I will completely replace your position with Jaehyun!” after saying that, Mr. Han walked out without caring about the condition of his son who was cursing and crying simultaneously in his heart.

The white-painted room looked calm and quiet. Mr. Han sat down down on his chair while staring at his palm. There was regret on his face. Just now he had done a stupid thing that made the son he loved so much more hate him. It wasn't really his desire to slap Taehyun. But here Mr. Han always loses control of himself if someone has started to bring up the events of the past few years. The incident where he so cruelly expelled his wife for cheating.

Surely the little heart of the man still trusted Jira, his first wife. But he saw for himself with his eyes that Jira, Taehyun's mother was alone with another man in his house. The shadow of Jira's figure is still firmly attached in Mr. Han. But the hatred and anger of being betrayed also still stands firmly in the midst of his feelings of longing and love. No. Mr. Han never looked for Jira. He had several times told someone to find where Taehyun's mother was, but the results were nil.

Last time, Mr. Han got information that the woman had left Korea with Taejung, a private driver who is also Jira's mistress. But whether the news is true or not, up to this moment Mr. Han did not know for sure. He was desperate to find Jira. Even slowly he began to gradually erase his figure from within the heart. What tormented Lord Han the most during this time was when he stared at Taehyun's face. Taehyun's eyes look so similar to Jira's. Everything in Taehyun is a reflection of Jira's shadow.

That was why Mr. Han had always distanced himself from Taehyun, being cold and always avoiding Taehyun's gaze which always made him miss the figure of Jira that he loved so much. Master Han started to feel a tightness in his chest. The pain came back until he clutched his tuxedo collar tightly while trying to open his desk drawer. He took a small bottle of medicine from inside and immediately drank it. For a moment Mr. Han just bowed while enduring the pain that pounced on his heart. His breath was stingy and the look on his face looked pale.

‘tok.. tok...’ the sound of knocking the door slowly sounded louder in Mr. Han's ear. The old man\ lifted his head and stared at the entrance that was starting to open.

“Come in.” he murmured to the secretary. He began to try to sit up straight, hiding the pain he was now feeling. Mr. Han leaned his back on the back of his chair and stared fixedly at his secretary.

“Master, are you okay? Your face is pale President.”

Master Han just shook his head slowly. As if rejecting his secretary's questions that are almost always the same every day. “How? What did Hyeri say about Baekki?”

The secretary stared pushyly at Mr. Han. Still hesitant to start this conversation given Mr. Han's health condition which seems to have deteriorated again. He was silent for quite a while until the reprimand from Lord Han made him forced to start talking.

“Actually, Taehyun finds Baekki talking to Lady Yoon in a car that night. And I've also checked the CCTV footage on the baseman. It is true that Lady Yoon met Baekki sir. They seem to be talking both. And it looks like Baekki has something to do with this case. All the evidence points to Baekki. I even found a copy of Baekki's account. He received a hundred million won after the case was raised. You still remember not a while ago Mrs Yoon took a hundred million won from the company?”

“No! Baekki wouldn't do something like that. I trust him. Decades he worked for me”

“I regret having to say this to you sir.”

The pain in Mr. Han's chest ripped back. The old man was again bowed while gripping the corner of his work desk tightly. Secretary Mr. Han seemed to be starting to panic. He intended to approach and help the superior, but Mr. Han again blocked him.

“Contact Baekki immediately. Tell him to see me soon!” lord Han's inaudible word.

“Baekki phone can't be contacted. But I've tracked where Baekki is and will bring him here to” soon
