"Taehyung, get up" Minjung makes a thud on the door

Taehyung budges a bit and opens his eyes

"What are you doing here?" he says in a sleepy voice

"Come downstairs" minjung says

"In 5 minutes" he adds

Taehyung suddenly thinks of jisoo. "If dad sees her here, it'll be a mess" he quickly gets up and comes downstairs

"What's the hurry? Freshen up. I gave you 5 minutes" minjung says seeing him come downstairs in a rush

"No.. Umm.. I just.. Wait" he says to him and heads towards jisoo's room

He knocks at first hoping that his dad doesn't know but soon realizes that the door is open

He goes inside and looks for jisoo. She isn't here. Where could she be? He thinks to himself.. "Dad.. Is it because of him?" he needs to ask him. But suddenly he finds a paper on the table. A letter

He quickly opens it

"Sir, you already know that i am not there. By the time you read it, i'll be far away from you. I just wrote this letter to make your doubts clear. Yes i am gone. On my own accord. As my purpose here is fulfilled. I've gotten my money, more than i thought i would. Special credits to your dad. I can finally live my life without any debts. And i'll have enough left to live in luxury. Afterall, that is all i want.

See, i've tried so much to seduce you the past couple of days but you always escaped. I thought if i could break your marriage with lisa and get you to like me, i'll be able to finally get what i wanted. But God knows what was holding you back.. But anyways, you dad gave me mire than what i want and i am happy. The only thing i had to do to get that money is to stay away from you and that is an easy job. Anyways, all of the things i did was an act.

Come on. You guys have a sea full of money. The fact that i took some wont hurt you all"

Taehyung just stands there. " this isn't true. It cant be" he comes out to question his dad

"What the fuck is this and what did you do to jisoo?" he asks minjung

"Son.. Calm down" he says in a very slow voice.
Taehyung can't fathom the things he just read..

"Dad please. I beg you. Tell the truth"

"Where do i even start. See this. the newspaper" he passes the newspaper to taehyung

"I woke up this morning and saw this. I knew the press was defaming you so i rushed here. I saw this girl when I came in. She was talking to someone on the phone. I heard her say

" if i give press some juicy details about me and taehyung, they'll pay me enough, right? And nobody will ever know that it was me. So win win for me"

I couldn't believe my eyes. When she saw me, she tried to avoid the topic but it was too late. You have no idea how i managed her and the press" minjung says

"Taehyung, our reputation is on the line. I'll arrange a press conference where you have to speak the truth. About this girl.. And you should also announce your marriage with lisa.  I have made this empire all by myself.. I started with nothing, son. I know i've been hard on you all these years but right now, i'll be with you.. I can't risk all my hard work go to waste all because of a gold digger"  minjung says with a calm voice

"I need some time dad" taehyung's whole body wants to give up

"Sure, son. I'll go arrange the press conference this afternoon. You should take rest. Thank god that i was able to reach safely and save you from this trap"

"I am an old man taehyung. My time to leave the world is almost here. I know there are problems between you and lisa. But lisa is a nice girl. You are young and successful. you have your own empire.  Don't make this go to waste. Do it for your mother. I couldn't do much for her but i trust you" minjung says as he bids him goodbye

"Good job, minjung. Well played" minjug says to himself after coming out of taehyung's house

Someone calls him

"Hello? Is the job done? Did the plan work?" someone says on the other side of the phone

"Yes my child. Prepare for your engagement. And dont worry about the girl. By this time, she is far away from here.. And, do forget to give my regards to your dad. We'll be business partners soon" minjung says

"Thank you uncle. The show has just started. Did he see that letter?"

"Yes, lisa. He did. How can he not? Taehyung is all yours. I have a lot of works to do today. Talk to you later.. Prepare for your victory" minjung says as he hangs up

"Checkmate, jisoo.." lisa says to herself

Taehyung rushes to his room.

"Pick the phone upppp. Pick up jisoo" he says as he keeps dialing her phone but it doesn't connect

He calls in an office number

"Sir, jisoo isn't here. I called her several times but of no use"

"You have her documents, right? Give me her address.. Quickly" taehyung says

He gets his keys and heads straight to her house..  He cant let her go like this. She needs to answer his questions..

He reaches her house but of no avail. It is locked

"Excuse me.. Are you looking for someone?" a guy in his late 40s says

"Ohhh. Umm. Yes. The girl.. I mean" taehyung stutters

"Are you talking about jisoo?" he says

"Ahh yes. I need to talk to her"  taehyung says

"Ohh. But you're late. She left a while ago.. She hads debts on her shoulder but she paid all of them before leaving. I heard from her father that she works at a very reputed office. I wonder why she decided to move out" he says

"Do you know where she went?" taehyung asks being desperate

"No. I asked a number of times but she didnt say anything. Where will she go with her father in a wheelchair? I wonder what happened" he says

"Thank you" taehyung says and gets back to his car

"Dad, arrange the conference soon. I am ready to speak" taehyung says over phone

"I will not let my hardwork go to waste for someone like you, jisoo. How could i not realize that it was all a trap? I should've never trusted you" taehyung says to himself
