~I might be strong enough to
handle the pain,but it
doesn't mean I deserve
It~

She stared at the silver ring on her palm. She caressed the ring with her long fingers gently. Her gaze went to the seoul city view infront of her. Through the glass walls of her company, she saw the sun set. It was beautiful.

But, Her small happiness didn't last. She heard her door being opened with a loud thud making her frown. Who would dare to open her door without her permission? That's definitely Lee Dongwook. But he would never open it in such a way.

"Igarashi!"

She could hear his rapid breathing. Something is wrong. She turned around. Yes,something is definitely wrong. Dongwook's face said it all.

"Yibo" he whispered making her squeeze.

Her eyes instantly darkened. Her eyes took a dark shade of bloody red.

Igarashi bang opened her underground security unit. It was her own personal security unit under her company. People in black suits were infront of their own computers with headphones on their ears. No one flinched nor moved. Eyes focused on their computers,they are serving their service to Lang Igarashi. This unit is one of the main reason why no one could touch her company.

Walls full of screens,it is definitely an eye catching thing. This unit was hidden from the world. Only she had the power to rule these men who were sitting like statues. They were only loyal to her. They would trick any other man showing a fake loyalty but their true loyalty was only for her.

Igarashi entered inside with Dongwook. She walked through the rows of tables,passing different men who were engulfed in their own works.

She stopped right infront of the table in the last corner of the room. A Chinese handsome youth was rapidly typing on his keyboard while chewing a bubble gum.

Dongwook immediately removed his headphones seeing no response from the man. The man looked up only to meet her pair of crimson eyes.

The man stood up immediately and bowed." Ms.lang"

"Xiao Kaizhong " she mumbled his name.

"Ma'am"

"I want you to track down someone"

Kaizhong looked up at her curiously,waiting for her to give more instructions.

"Wang Yibo" Dongwook said.

Kaizhong knew him. Because he was the one who put a tracking device to Yibo's necklace under Igarashi's command. For his protection. And now,she is asking him to track him down,meaning Yibo is in danger. Kaizhong guessed everything withing few seconds. Yibo was kidnapped.

Kaizhong bowed to Igarashi before sitting down on his chair,cracking his knuckles,he started his work.

Igarashi turned to Dongwook. "Prepare back up teams"

Dongwook also bowed before walking to a side to call someone.

She also took out her phone before calling someone." Tighten the protection around Kim mansion. I wouldn't be around for few hours. I need no scratches on kids while I am gone. Got it? Follow them wherever they go"

She cut the call and focused on Kaizhong. Her mind was going crazy despite her calm self. Her heart was racing loudly out of fear. If anything happen to Yibo,she wasn't sure what she would do. Yibo had become her soul. He makes her go insane while keeping her sane.

Dongwook walked towards her." What do you plan to do? This is a trap to lure you. They must be waiting for you to rescue him"

"And that's what we are going to do"

"What do you mean?"

"If the only way I can save him is going inside the trap,then I will go"

"Huh?"

Igarashi smirked. That smirk which had a scary meaning. Dongwook trembled stepping backwards knowing her intentions aren't good.

"Let's teach them a lesson. They touched something they shouldn't have."

"Ma'am" Kaizhong called her still focusing on his screen." I got it"

Igarashi walked to him and bent down to the computer's level.

"It's a warehouse near the sea in Gangnam area. It's not that far. 1 hour distance"

"Are you sure it is a warehouse?" Dongwook asked looking at the screen.

"Yes,but you won't be able to see it in Google map. This area is strictly prohibited for normal people. I could neither find pictures nor any informations more than this"

Dongwook stroked his chin thinking deeply." It will be hard to attack without knowing an exact information"

"But I didn't say I cannot do anything about it" Kaizhong smirked.

Igarashi knew what he meant. "Prepare to leave"

Kaizhong nodded and stood up.

Igarashi, Dongwook and Kaizhong entered inside a hotel room in Gangnam. They had changed their appearance completely except Kaizhong since no one really knew him.

Igarashi threw away her white wig to the trash bin.

Kaizhong was amazed remembering how Igarashi acted as an out going extrovert infront of the hotel staff. She looked so desperate holding onto Dongwook and Kaizhong with a wide fake smile. It really didn't suit her.

On the other hand,Dongwook didn't really care like he is used to it. People in Kaizhong's unit rarely goes to outside missions so it was weird to see their boss' extraordinary acting skills.

Igarashi went straight to the bathroom.

Dongwook changed into a black outfit while Kaizhong started his work.

He took out a drone from his back pack. With a controller,he sent the drone out through the balcony. The hotel was near the location they tracked down.

He sat down on the bed with crossed legs ,staring at his screen.

Igarashi came out with a new black outfit. Few minutes passed.

"There it is!" Kaizhong exclaimed.

Igarashi and Dongwook looked at the screen over Kaizhong's shoulders.

"The warehouse!"

Igarashi patted Kaizhong's shoulder nodding her head. She was satisfied.

She turned to Dongwook. "Do as I said"

Igarashi took her cap and wore it. "Smarty pants,you stay here and inform me everything going around us"

Kaizhong nodded. He wasn't surprised when she called him 'smarty pants'. She always uses nicknames instead of their real names so he wasn't startled.

"Kaizhong, hack the cctv system in here and we want a small electricity cut off to leave" Dongwook said grabbing his cap and mask.

Kaizhong did an okay sign before going to his work. Since the hotel was around Gangnam,they have to be careful.  Their enemies are expecting their arrival.

It is already hard to do an ambush for an enemy who was already expecting them.

Igarashi directly walked infront of the front guards alone and stood.

They all pointed their guns to her.

She raised her hands,surrendering herself. This took them off guard. They knew her and they were waiting for her. But not like this. They didn't expect her to surrender.

Guards still didn't lower their guns not wanting to lower their guards around this woman.

"I'm here as you wanted. Take me to your boss"

Guards looked at each other.

A man walked infront of her cautiously while others kept pointing their guns at her.

The man who came forward checked her with a metal detector. Nothing was detected.

Still pointing their guns,they led her inside,probably to their boss. She knew that their 'boss' is just a small character in the main boss' chess board.

Inside, she observed her surroundings. There were so many gangsters with guns in their hands. Bulky men with disgusting looks.

She could smell  dynamite around her. This surely is a place where they sell illegal weapons and gun powers.

But everything went to a side,seeing a scene which shattered her heart.

Yibo was infront of her,badly beatened up. His hands were tied above his head with a rope which was fixed to the ceiling. His eyes were blindfolded. Blood was dripping down from his face.

They had made him suffered. They had tortured him. For what? For the sin of being by Igarashi's side.

She clenched her fists trying hard to control herself. The pain she was feeling was unbearable. She felt like her insides were tearing up,ripping apart. How many times should he suffer because of her? How much pain he must go through because of her? This isn't the first time. Yet,Igarashi could never get used to it. She could never get used to see him go through such a pain.

"Oh,look who do we have here? Came to rescue your baby boy?" A man,must be in his mid thirties, spoke up gaining her attention.

He was a bit bulky but had a dumb look. Wasn't that handsome but had a scar across his cheek.

"Didn't expect you to surrender. I don't belive this. You came here with a plan right?"

She didn't reply. Her eyes were still on Yibo. He was unconscious. They had beatened up him until he went unconscious. His wrists were bruised since he was hanging on the rope with no energy.

"Don't worry. He is still alive. After we sent you to heaven, we will surely send him after you. You both can leave for the after life together"

"Or maybe I would send you to after life with the fuckers who beat him up?"She finally spoke turning to the boss man.

He was slightly taken back when her crimson criminal eyes stared right through his skull like a bullet. Fire was dancing inside her eyes. He could see it. So,this is indeed the famous snow white, born from hell? Like everyone, this man was also curious about her. And now,he saw it from his own eyes. She is truely terrifying.

Just then,the door of the warehouse was opened taking everyone's attention.

Dongwook stood there alone with his hands inside the pant pockets.

"Sorry,I was late for the party"

Sounds of choppers flying around took their attention. White lights were flashing behind Dongwook.
