"Melissa!"Seokjin yells, his hand hitting his face in defeat. "Didn't I tell you to clean my room before my guest comes and not afterwards?"

"Sorry, Master," the old woman bows her head. "But your room is so unclean I had to come back, I wanted to make it sparkling for your wife."

"Fiancee," Seokjin corrects quickly. "Now, get out."

"As you wish," she gives a small smile before looking at Nabi. "I would be careful around Master Seokjin if I were you, he is... something."

"Melissa," Seokjin warns, moving out of the way to create space in the doorway. "Out."

"Who is she?" Nabi asks after Seokjin closes the door after the old woman. "And why were you so rude to her?"

"Melissa is one of the maids," Seokjin sits down at a chair before a huge, marble desk. "She has been our maid since I was born, she is nosy and reports to my parents about anything suspicious I do."

"You're probably misjudging her," Nabi stands near the desk, scared that if she is near it it'll break. "She might be a nice old lady that wants the best for you."

"Trust me," Seokjin takes a framed photograph from the wall of his parents, they're both smiling surrounded by rose bushes. "I am always right."

"No one can always be right," Nabi sighs, looking back at the door. "And why are you taking that picture down?"

"Because of this," Seokjin presses down on the wall and a red button appears where he pressed down. "Magic."

Nabi watches as he presses the button and the bookcase behind them moves, leaving a doorway and stairs going down.

"Wow," Nabi looks at Seokjin to see him grinning at her. "But I know it's not magic."

"Come on," Seokjin takes her hand and leads her down the dark, stone stairs. "Don't worry, there's light at the bottom."

"I think I can see it," Nabi winces, "why are we going down here?"

"To reveal the real reason I agreed to an arranged marriage with you," Seokjin lead her off the last step. "Here we are."

Tall lampposts dimly illuminates the cavern styled room, bookcases cover every inch of where a wall should be, a circular dark brown table is in the middle with only two chairs and paper is strewn everywhere.

"I don't understand," Nabi's eyes wander around the room. "Am I missing something obvious? This just looks like a secret study."

"That's because it's exactly that," Seokjin walks to the table and sits down on one of the chairs, Nabi follows and sits on the other. "Are you disappointed?"

"Slightly," Nabi picks up one of the papers and reads the title. "'Corrupt Company'? What are you studying?"

"I'm going to tell you something I have never said to anyone before," Seokjin stares into my eyes. "Something that could possibly end your life as soon as the words leave my mouth, I need your consent before I say anything."

Nabi nods her head.

"Well," he clears his throat before starting. "Since I was nine I have always been suspicious about my parents and the company, knowing that one day I will inherit the company has always been a nightmare I don't want to commit to. One night I overheard my parents talking to someone on the phone about the company, horrible things. Ever since that night I have researched about my company and have spent endless nights perfecting plans to carry out in the future. All I ever needed was someone to help me, someone I can trust with my life, someone that doesn't have anything on the line. Nabi, could you be that person?"

"Why me?" Nabi croaks, "why did you choose someone you have never met before?"

"Because then there are no strings attached if one of us died," Seokjin smiles gently at looking at my confused expression. "Would me telling you about a few of the many things my parents company does and what my parents allow? The workers that spent twenty hours a day, six days a week all year round are Chinese orphans that are five to twelve years old. Do you want me to tell you about what my parents do to the children after they reach thirteen? They use them as sex slaves, I always wondered how they got money so quickly and it was from that industry. I'm not going to tell you any more; I don't want to give you nightmares."

"But they seem so nice," Nabi recollects how Ryeok and Seori were. "They don't seem like the people who would do such things."

"What do you think people like that look like?" Seokjin's eyebrows furrow and he looks away. "Old people with horns? Pot bellied men with posh British accents? Women with black hair and pointy noses? Bad people know how to hide behind their body, you need to look within to really find who they are."

"If I did agree to be your partner and get married," Nabi says slowly, "what am I exactly signing up for?"

"Like you said, you'll be my partner," Seokjin smiles. "Like Batman, we'll be fighting crime and helping the good people. I wouldn't say we're like Batman and Robin because you're not below me, we're both on the same level. It's going to be dangerous, and the things we do will keep you up at night but we're not the bad guys, at the end of the day we're the heroes."

"We're helping the people who deserve help?" Nabi nods to herself. "But have you not confronted your parents? What if at the end we realise we had been wrong all along and we did all those horrible things for no reason, and that we're the bad guys at the end?"

"That won't happen," he walks over to Nabi and rest his chin on her shoulder. "You need to trust me."

"A better world for all," Nabi's hand rests on Seokjin's cheek, she smiles. "Let's do this."
