Chapter 19 Fire
"Oh, you're here... finally. So, where is he? Where is Go YooHan?" YeonWoo asked anxious, the servant looked at him, terror in his eyes fearing a punishment, he then shook his head and looked at the ground shivering in fear.
"I cannot find him... I talked to all the owners of shops and cafes... but they said that they haven't seen him in days... please sir... I did all I could do..." the servant begged on his knees.
YeonWoo didn't reply, he glared at him and took a sip of tea from the cup that was on his desk in the large office of the Choi mansion. He then looked at him again and sighed.
"You said you did your best... right?"
"Yes sir, I have done everything... he just disappeared like a ghost..."
YeonWoo nodded, it seemed he understood that the poor servant did his best. All of a sudden he smashed the cup on the wooden surface of the desk in front of him, the fragments cutting his soft skin, the servant looked at his master terrified.
"How dare you!? Disappointing me like this.... it is unbelievable! Go away!"
"Sir... a message from the recruit department of the army, we found him" another servant said giving him a letter. YeonWoo quickly opened it, part of it rapidly became red because of the blood of his hand, the anger and hate in his heart seemed to make him ignore his pain completely.
"Prepare the sedan chair... we must visit a person" YeonWoo said leaving his office in a hurry.
There wasn't time to waste, this could be his last chance to see YooHan again after that terrible night when Ha Neul died in the darkness of her room. He ordered his servant to take him to the Japanese embassy and so they did. As they arrived, YeonWoo waited outside silently, until he saw a small group of Korean soldiers approaching.
"Yoohan..." YeonWoo murmured as he recognized him, wearing a colonel uniform and entering the embassy.
"I have to go" YeonWoo said with a resolute tone as he got off.
"Sir, your wound"
"Shut up!" he shouted angry.
"Sir, you cannot enter" two soldiers said pushing him away.
"You don't understand, I have to meet that person that just entered"
"Well you can't sir, this is a private meeting, you cannot enter unless you have an invitation" the solider responded
"Let me enter! Now! Or you will face the consequences of your incompetency!" YeonWoo exclaimed.
But suddenly the noise of an explosion shocked the whole area, YeonWoo couldn't help but look at the second floor of the embassy being engulfed by red flames.
"my..."
