thirty-five
Hyunsuk glanced at the news station from Korea as he continued to finish up his remaining project. He perfectly managed to fit into his new home in Sydney as he didn't really expect Mina to get everything in place so quickly. He also managed to find a nice nursing home for his parents so that they could peacefully rest without the worry of money or working. He stayed alone in a small condo within the city; he was quite worried about Bomin chasing after him but it seemed pretty quiet.
He turned his attention towards the knock on the door as he got a little more nervous. He definitely did not expect any guests since he was all alone, and he knew that Jinyoung would never spend that much money to just see his friend without another excuse. He carefully made his way towards the door, before he heard a very familiar, very annoying voice.
"It's me. Jisoo. Open up."
Hyunsuk had no choice to open up since Lia continued to speak loudly which he was worried about the neighbors coming out to see the commotion. He opened the door quickly as she rushed inside as he rolled his eyes to himself before speaking up, "What are you doing here...how did you even find out-"
"That's not important right now...did you know that Bomin and Mina are married?!"
"You realized that you're about two weeks late towards the news...but that's not why you should be here, Jisoo."
"I know...but, I was worried about you. What if he came after you? Since they're getting married, he might send people to look for you since you did run off with his money."
Hyunsuk gripped the bridge of his nose as he watched Lia walk around uninvited to make herself feel like at home. He pointed towards the door as he ignored whatever she said, "Leave."
"Hyunsuk...you need to listen to me."
"No, I don't need you to-"
"Bomin is building a hotel in Australia....and I don't think it's the intention to make his hotel bigger. He's trying to find you so that he could destroy Mina's reputation..you realize that he has photos of you guys on your dates. He has information about you living at her apartment, and you guys staying together a few times. Any little dirt secret between you two, he knows.."
"Why does that even matter?"
"It may not matter to Mina...or you...but one of you is going to get hurt.
Hyunsuk froze for a second as he sighed to himself with worry since he knew that Lia was correct. He hated admitting to it, but she seemed to have genuine worry for the future of both of them. He hesitated for a few seconds before Lia continued to just pace nervously around the living room as she already started to make herself feel like at home.
"What happened to your dreams?"
Lia rolled her eyes as she replied back with an upset feeling, "It just kind of went downhill from when the two companies decided to merge. Bomin had me working on a few things, but I didn't trust him at all....then suddenly my agency wanted me to work overseas.. I am 100% sure that Bomin was behind that decision since he wants to get rid of Mina with his own power and hands. Which is why I am here...for your help."
"What?"
"Bomin is doing some shady business here as he's building his hotel. Mina had someone working with him to find some secrets, but that person suddenly disappeared from the depths of the earth. That's why she sent me here, to find you so that we can find a solution. They barely only got married for two weeks, but it's already pretty intense."
Hyunsuk hesitated to answer back as he was not confident on trying to work with Lia since he was unsure whether they are on the same side. But as he was thinking to himself, Lia handed him an envelope which she looked at him with a bright smile. "If you're worried about my trust, then read this."
Hyunsuk opened the envelope after grabbing it from her hand carefully. Inside, there was a paper with some numbers written on it with a flash drive inside. He walked over to his computer, which was resting on the kitchen table, as he inserted it inside. He then typed the numbers onto the computer before a bunch of photos opened up. It was all the photos between their dates and the images of Mina entering into Hyunsuk's apartment a few times.
Lia spoke up as she stood behind him to look at the photos as well, "He has the original copy in his phone, but he didn't save into a flash drive since he was worried that someone might steal it. I managed to steal his phone when he was busy a few days ago, and I moved all the photos onto here. And I made sure I deleted the photos from his phone so that he wouldn't have the original copies."
"Why are you giving me this? You can use it for your advantage."
"I know, I want to. But Mina knew that I was going to end up being tossed to the side after being used. She wanted me to give me a chance, and I know that she wanted me to resolve our issues so that we can work together to fix this issue."
Hyunsuk was still not completely onboard, but Lia then reached into her bag to take out her cellphone. She then added to her comment, "If you really don't trust me, this will definitely change your mind."
She handed him her phone as she rested her back against the counter as Hyunsuk glanced at the screen to find a play button on there. He pressed the screen before blinking a few times as he saw Mina's face pop up onto the screen. He smiled to himself with even realizing it as he put the volume to listen to her voice.
"Hyunsuk...it's me. I am...married."
Mina lifted her hand to show off the expensive, dazzling ring as she was laughing, not because she was happy. It was a laugh of annoyance as she then took it off and placed it onto the side. She continued to speak, "I need your help. I am sending Lia to you because I need you guys to dig into Bomin. I know he wants to find you so that he can expose you to the world to bring my reputation down. I know Lia isn't the most trustworthy person in the world..."
Lia intervened in the video as her anger could be heard, "Hey, I'm not going if you're going to be like this."
Mina rolled her eyes visibly on screen, ignoring Lia's whines as she continued, "But I am working with her since she has the evidence that Bomin was holding against me. It's more than the photos..click onto the hidden file and make sure you read over it. I know that you're not skilled on reading analytics and data, but you need to try and make sure of it. I will send you more information through Lia as Bomin is well aware that I am with Lia a lot more often. I think he's trying to record our conversation, but we are in a secret location that he isn't aware of. Lia and I will be in frequent contact....with Bomin around...so this is my only time where I can fully send you a video."
She paused for a quick second, taking a breath to smile once more, as Hyunsuk knew that the smile wasn't really that genuine since her eyes were watering up in contrast. "I miss you a lot. And I wish we can go on more adventures, but I got to fix this issue. I'd rather bring Bomin down with my own hands rather than run off with you where my family's reputation will be in shambles. Be safe....and I love you."
The video stopped right after as Lia took back her phone from him, as Hyunsuk stared at the wall behind Lia. He was determined to find the answer and bring help to Mina, since he was so far from her.
"Where do we start off with Lia?"
"Oh please...for now, call me Jisoo. I'm not playing his made persona."
"Okay Jisoo...how do we bring that bastard down?"
