chapter 18

Chapter 18.

Fly High bar, early morning.

This is the secret office hideout of the Scream organization. SuA drove to work. She was surprised because there were so many people here.

Usually this area is only crowded in the late evening and lasts until night, and in the early morning it is like an isolated place. Such a crowded and daytime scene was the first time she had seen it since working with Scream.

Fly High had turned into a pile of ashes, everything had burned down.

What happened, is it related to Dami's text message to her last night?

SuA drove back, leaving Fly High. She had a premonition that something was not good, so she drove quickly out of the city center.

SuA picked up the phone to call Siyeon.

“Tickle-tittle……hello”

- Sing, I can't go home to cook lunch today. I'll come home tonight. There's food in the refrigerator. Take it out and warm it up and eat it.

“Where are you going?”

- I'll tell you after I get home.

“……………” – SuA heard Siyeon sigh.

- Love you.

“………………..”

- One week left until the baby is born. I'm really looking forward to it and happy, are you like that?

"……..Yes"

- Um, stay healthy, I'll hang up now.

SuA pressed the accelerator harder to leave the center.

After 2 hours, SuA was in a forest, where there was a quite big house. She got out of the car and went straight inside, meeting a few familiar faces.

- SuA, why are you only now appearing? – Gahyeon frowned, her arms crossed.

- My work schedule ends in the early afternoon, right? – SuA replied calmly.

- But that was when the organization didn't burn down like last night.

- Forget it, now how to solve it?

- Go in and talk to Dami, be careful of your attitude.

SuA went straight into the deepest room of this house, where Dami was drinking coffee in an unpredictable mood. SuA finds this space too stuffy.

- Why didn't you come last night? – Dami asked, she knew who came in here just by the sound of the door.

- I didn't pick up my phone, I was busy doing some errands.

- Do you know the next consequence?

- The consequences of what? Not reading your messages in time and not listening?

- You're too bold Kim SuA, have you forgotten who gave you a life outside of this society?

- It's a favor that I'm always grateful for, but what more can I do, Dami, Siyeon is due to give birth in a week.

- To be frank, that's not your child, it's her and another man's child.

- Whatever you want to say, I still consider that child to be my child.

- Do you know that I have prepared a gun to kill you?

- And you're hesitant about that?

Dami immediately grabbed the gun on the table, stood up and pointed it straight at SuA's temple.

- In my life I have never had to hesitate about anything except you, do you know? – Dami gritted her teeth.

- ………..

- If you don't listen to me, there's no way to continue living. Why do you think you can still breathe right now?

- Dami, I know you have done many things to make me lonely and miserable - SuA was not afraid, looking straight at Dami.

- ……………….

- Because I don't reciprocate your feelings, I don't have the right to be happy, is that what you mean?

- ………………..

- But if I’m not happy and live a miserable life, I can't choose you, you understand that clearly.

- ……………..

- If I die, I can't choose you.

The anger on Dami's face loosened, replaced by despair.

- Isn't it important that Fly High burned down and we had to move somewhere else? What you want is for me to be by your side when you have problems.

- Who do you think I am that I could have problems? - Dami curled her lips.

- If you didn't have a problem, you would never ask me to come see you.

- ……………… - the gun was slowly loosened from the temple area.

- Do you know that I should have died a long time ago, after my father was killed by debt collectors, but everything brought me to this point.

- ……………….

- I've tried to live the best I can every day, no matter what happens tomorrow, or what happens in the next second, I still accept it.

- Go away - Dami threw the gun on the floor, making an uncomfortable sound, and sat back in the chair.

- I'll ask someone to prepare some snacks for you.

SuA went out and told the staff to prepare some sweet potatoes and eggs for Dami, those are her favorite foods, then SuA got in the car and left the forest.

Returning home with a heavy heart, SuA leaned her back against the bedroom door, Siyeon was sleeping deeply on the bed.

SuA had an uneasy feeling, was it because she was nervous because the baby was about to be born, or was something about to happen ahead?

After her words, Dami looked very disappointed, Dami was no longer as authoritative as usual. What was going through Dami's mind, SuA really didn't know, did Dami want to give up that kind of feeling, or did she still want to cling to it?

Because SuA couldn't predict what was going to happen, she couldn't control her unnecessary negative emotions...

----

2 months later.

There were no major events or changes in the lives of SuA and Siyeon, the only difference was that in this small house there was a new life

The baby's name is Kim-Lee Shin

When the baby turned 1 month old, Siyeon boldly took the baby boy to Daegu to meet Mr. and Mrs. Lee. She thought a lot and hesitated, anticipating all the bad things. But her worries disappeared when Mr. and Mrs. Lee's attitude was quite positive. Because Shin is so adorable, his grandparents can't act cold.

This trip did not include Bora because Siyeon was afraid that Mr. and Mrs. Lee would make Bora feel uncomfortable.

Bora works for the Scream organization but has a work schedule like an office worker and that makes Siyeon feel very secure. Bora’s time is invested in her and the baby, she is fully happy every day.

After giving birth to the baby, Siyeon began to use all her existing relationships to investigate more closely about the Scream organization. Siyeon doesn't have many connections in Seoul, but when it comes to Daegu, she can grasp almost everything. Jungjae's suitcase was taken by Bora in Daegu, so it must have some meaning.

Siyeon is busy because she has to do many things in one day, taking care of her children while composing music, her passion, and also having to secretly learn about Scream. She really had a very different life compared to when she was pregnant with Shin.

While pregnant, she went through periods of experiencing a series of erratic emotions, sometimes happy, sometimes painful. Even though Bora is still by her side every day, she has a fear that one day Bora will disappear from her side for a long time because of work.

That job was not chosen by Bora, it chose Bora and tied her down with everything, her time, her energy.

There was a time when Siyeon saw Bora coming home very tired. She was already small in size and easily got sick. Being next to Bora, Siyeon saw her get sick, injured her knees or toes, and even caught the flu.

Bora recovers her body quite quickly, but getting sick is also easy. Siyeon is really heartbroken when she remembers those moments.

Bora was next to her but she didn't feel secure. She goes to church to pray regularly, she prays that there will be a solution to help Bora get out of this job. She found a person related to the Scream organization and living in Daegu, who was once a partner of Scream.

In her endless thoughts, Siyeon received a call.

- I listen, say it

“Lee Dami is Lee Jungjae's nephew, took over his work after his death. Currently living in the Full Moon forest 100km from the center of Seoul, she has been there for 2 months now because the enemy found her residence and headquarters in the center of Seoul and set fire to it, destroying everything."

- Lee Dami? – Siyeon squinted her eyes, this name sounds really familiar.

“She is about to carry out a new plan to take revenge on the person who burned down her headquarters. That's Jeno, the owner of the Beatbox bar. He recently used force to threaten and oppress Dami's juniors, so she's even more angry and will probably take action soon."

- Send me Dami's picture.

“SuA may join this plan with Dami”

- SuA? Was that Bora's nickname while working there?

“That's right, based on the picture you sent me, she is active in Scream under the nickname SuA. Do you intend to do something about this Dami case?”

- I'm thinking about how to get Bora out of this organization, maybe Jeno will help us do that

“Why do you think that? Jeno is essentially the same as Dami.”

- It's okay, I'll arrange it.
