Chapter 5: Are you calling my things trash?! (*REV)

_________________________________________________________
The secretary left in a hurried pace to buy what the boss asked, quickly and quickly... Well, he just failed to notice that there was a person standing next to the door.
A huge person who looked more like a mafioso.
Kim Dong-hae was there.
Well, imagine how terrifying it can be to see a man who looks like a closet because of how big he is, standing in front of you and most likely ready to punch you to death?!
It seems... Interesting, right?!
He made a hideous face and pointed his finger at the center of Junseo's face.
Do you know who you're messing with? Do you know who you're ignoring? Don't you? Well, try to find out!
Well, as much as Donghae thought all this and was even terrifying, he was just a man talking nonsense, but tell that to Junseo's legs that wouldn't stop shaking.
He got terrified very quickly. Worse than a scaredy cat, maybe the scaredy cat was even braver than him.
"Jun-seo, why the hell don't you answer my calls? Did you forget that I still give you orders? You fucking idiot!"
Well, there was no one to warn Donghae about his arrival before he left the presidency, since he had bypassed every possible rule and gained access without causing any fuss.
He still had one or two who supported him faithfully. Men could be stupid more often than we like to admit. Right?!
Women too, unfortunately.
Before Jun-seo worked for Eun-ji as her secretary, he had also worked on some projects with Dong-hae, they didn't have a good relationship. In reality, no one could have a good relationship with Donghae, it seemed humanly impossible, but somehow people kept giving him attention and a platform since he was rich and influential.
He was also terrifying... That definitely helped a lot.
Donghae loved telling everyone the story about what would happen to traitors... Lose their fingers one by one.
But he could only feel anger... The little sister... So she was back to replace him. Interesting.
Take a deep breath, he was very angry. There's nothing to beat. Count... Count to 10... And breathe.
He could only feel an extreme and growing irritation... Very, very, very, very angry.
Count to a fucking million and he'll still be very, very angry.
How could all those people dare to replace him with a brat? A girl who shouldn't even know how to add 2+2 and on top of that, why her?!
Kim Doyun must have been really freaking out.
But that was a two-sided coin and the other side was finding it all very amusing and funny.
The crazier Donghae could be when he saw that she had taken his place the happier she could be.
Donghae's misfortune sounds like music to my ears.
Much better than anything she could have heard in her life.
Eun-ji found that situation really curious and funny.
The young girl just silently pointed into the room that now belonged to her, only her, solely her, asking Donghae to finally come in.
But he remained static and she became impatient.
"Come in quickly or do you think I have all day?!"
Look at Junseo who was still standing there in the corner pathetically. This makes me irritated, just get away. "Don't be stupid... Go do what I told you."
"Yes, miss."
The secretary barely had time to tie his tie again and just nodded positively and was soon walking quickly after coffee.
Almost running, he only didn't run because firstly he was in the middle of the company and secondly because his legs were shaking.
He could have been punched right in the face if Eunji hadn't intervened. Although Donghae didn't go straight to physical violence, he also wasn't one to touch people without wanting to kill or destroy.
Heavens... Maybe he needed to ask for a raise, how could he handle so many emotions?! It was still his first day at work.
Run... Almost run. Run. Almost run.
In the meantime, don't look back, the third world war was probably about to happen and he didn't want to witness that.
Don't stay and watch two worlds collide... There would be wreckage and destruction everywhere.
It was like watching two lions fighting over territory, but the lioness was so scary... Heavens.
Donghae came in. He didn't want to accept the request, but he wanted to enter the room anyway.
Even the chair had been changed. What? Are you disgusted by me?! "Are you changing the decor?"
Eunji smiled and nodded. "Yes, the trash should go in the trash..."
She said that already expecting the worst possible reaction and it really happened, he took off the suit that covered him and threw it carelessly on the sofa that was in the center of the room.
She ran her hand over his face and left his hair all disheveled with it, he was so angry that he could pull out the strands he had in his hands... But there's some way... You spend a lot of money to keep your hair like that.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Dong-hae was finally inside the room and Eun-ji barely had time to close the door and she could already hear the man yelling next to her ear. So unpleasant.
"Are you calling my things trash?! Who do you think you are, you bitch!"
That unbearable temper hadn't improved at all after so many years.
"Just sit down and stop making noise."
Donghae sat down on the large sofa and sighed.
Eunji's footsteps echoed through the room as if they were tied to a melody, she approached him as she unbuttoned the top button of her shirt to get more comfortable.
That might sound sexy to anyone who saw it, but she just wanted to show off the jewel she had with the company symbol.
A tacky and stupid gesture, but she proposed to wear it almost as if it were a burden she would carry. It was a gift that Donghae himself gave her. "Dong-hae..."
The female voice seemed to echo throughout the room as if they were in the middle of a precipice.
Eunji's aura was gigantic and she didn't need to make any effort. Her anger was worse than the men of the Kim family combined.
She was strong and shy... She seemed like a snake ready to release all its venom.
Or perhaps a demon ready to torment its victim.
Donghae heard his name being said and made no effort to move to see who was calling him. He really hated Eunji.
Now I can hate you even more.
He raised his index finger and in a snobbish gesture he corrected the woman's call with his voice filled with the purest tone of disdain.
"To you, I am Mr. Kim."
The young woman was elegant and dominant.
The empty room seemed full of Eun-ji.
Her steps were firm and heavy, making it seem as if she were multiplying and condensing in the air.
Kim Eun-ji sat on the sofa a little far from Donghae, there was no need to get too close.
She leaned back as she silently observed the landscape of the immense glass wall that was right behind the president's desk, and her brother did the same.
Dong-hae still tried to ignore Eun-ji's presence and this arrogant attitude was a joke to her ears.
"You are Dong-hae to me... But maybe I should call you a mutt."
She laughed disdainfully. You hate me and I hate you even more.
She rested one of her hands on her brother's broad shoulders and calmly whispered.
"I really wonder how dad was so unlucky to adopt someone like you... Unable to be useful... Yes, useless."
Finally Donghae looked at his sister and saw the gift he had given her... It was given years ago and he could still remember it.
He wanted to rip it off with his own hands.
Eun-ji had serious relationship problems with Dong-hae, they had always hated each other and despite their parents' efforts they had never managed to live peacefully and just pretended each other didn't exist.
For a while it worked, especially when the two were in different countries.
The Kim family didn't seem to have any luck with their adopted children and they were all involved in scandals or uninterested in taking over the family business.
Now Doyun was making a last ditch effort to make the company continue to be led by a Kim, it would be Eun-ji or no one else.
After all, there was only her. The rest wouldn't lift a finger to help in any way.
Donghae's eyes had a slight hint of red. He was completely angry and that only made her completely satisfied.
"Did you really think that Daddy would let you do whatever you wanted? Stealing? Human trafficking..."
"Eun-ji..." He tried to grab the other's wrist, but was pushed back, so that she now had both hands around his neck and her nails digging in enough for him to understand that she would hurt him if she had to.
"I'll take over from now on and I hope you won't interfere with my work, brother."
They were a family, but that didn't mean they loved each other.
"You were the vice president and I'm the new president, even if you went back to work today you'd still have to follow my orders… Just accept that it looks like the spoiled brat is ready to send you to hell… And I hope you burn a lot there, until there's nothing left… Not even dust."
Donghae saw the smile on his sister's face and his heart was completely sour. So sour that he wanted to make her disappear.
He had decided as quickly as he blinked. I'm going to make you disappear.
"You want to pick up the trash you left around here… Go talk to the cleaning staff, they're the ones who take care of these things, not me… Of course, if you have any complaints, go to HR and open a protocol, after all, you've been gone from this company for over 24 hours, so all we can do for you is study whether or not we should do something about it… You have one minute to leave my office or I'll call security."
Donghae walked out of the room with heavy steps.
Eun-ji would definitely pay for this.
You're going to disappear.
Junseo finally returned with the coffee and what he saw was Dong-hae completely distraught, waiting for the elevator...
The common elevator to leave. He felt a chill run through his entire body.
Heavens, what was wrong with that family?! Kim stared at Jun-seo and just turned his face away.
Silently he entered the elevator, pressing the button for the ground floor.Really scary.
Lee Jun-seo quickened his steps towards the president's office and at the first knock on the door he was given permission to enter.
"I brought the coffee."
Eunji smiled with satisfaction.
"Great, leave my coffee here on the table and bring me the most urgent documents... Let's get to work."
After a humiliation that was nothing more and nothing less than enormous, Donghae went to a bar. He drove a little and automatically went to the bar he liked to frequent the most. Quiet and private. People didn't care about anything that would happen there.
A perfect place for business.
Dong-hae had already drunk half of the newly opened bottle of whiskey and the drunkenness was far from reaching him, he was numb with anger, so that bottle managed to do nothing against him.
He could even feel his head throbbing with anger. He wouldn't accept being humiliated by Eun-ji.
But he needed more alcohol to be able to feel some anesthesia, to give some comfort to his own broken spirit.
It was obvious that he would take revenge.
There was nothing that money couldn't buy, be it satisfaction or perhaps the death of his sister.
He was interrupted from his thoughts when he saw that the place in front of him had been occupied by a woman.
The woman had a ring that had a broken Star of David. It was the symbol that it was HER he needed to talk to.
But look at her face, she's beautiful.
Maybe if I spend the whole night in a vulgar dance using your body I can feel more relieved... Darling. "What's your name?"
The woman had light and mature features. Beautiful. But as young as a flower that has just bloomed.
Her black hair fell over her shoulders giving her a natural and dazzling charm... It was a little intriguing to think that this woman is a murderer.
It was clear that she didn't intend to stay there for long, she didn't even take off the overcoat that covered her. It really was a shame, she must have had a beautiful body, Donghae let himself be slightly carried away by the alcohol.
She simply looked at the bottle of whiskey that he was probably drinking alone.
It would be a miracle if he could remember his name in a few hours.
"To you, I'm just Marked Bullet... What's the job?"
He laughed at the woman's audacity and could even say that he liked it, but that wasn't what he was there for. They were in a bar that, curiously, was also a Japanese restaurant and the pleasure of having money offered him some privileges. It wasn't very difficult to get a reserved place to coordinate his business. She briefly fumbled with his coat attached to the chair and took a photo out of his pocket and handed it to him.
A crumpled and slightly torn photo. He had to work hard to get it.
He didn't want anything that involved those damned people.
"I want you to finish her in three months and if you do it before that I'll give you a bonus."
She nodded in agreement with the bonus part.
"Sounds fair. Any tips?"
She said, taking the photo for herself and staring at the delicate lines of the face engraved in the image. That woman was really beautiful, it's a shame she had to die, Hye-jin thought.
Oh right, Marked Bullet is Hyejin.
The beautiful and sweet face that loved to mark the bullets she would use to kill the people people paid to be killed by her.
"If you torture her I'll be happy." Dong-hae laughed in mockery.
Hye-jin even felt sorry for the miserable man in front of her.
She had heard some rumors about that man's personality and he was just an idiot who didn't know how to deal with his parents' no... But business is business.
But the rumors seemed to be true.
"I don't mess around and if you want to mess around call one of the henchmen who work for you in that warehouse in the South to do the job..." She said, placing the photograph on the table in a motion to return it.
Of course she knew about Donghae's business, it was part of the job to know the worst about whoever hired you and in the case of that idiot he had a lot of compromising things.
"Do you know what happens to traitors?" Dong-hae smiled broadly and continued without waiting for the woman to answer him.
"First they lose their fingers one by one and then we rip their throats out. Do you think any henchman would have the courage to face that?"
She wasn't interested in hearing stories about how he or whoever solved their problems.
Without further ado, Dong-hae interrupted, the less he knew the better.
"Your thoughts don't interest me. Half now and the other after the service."
"That's fine with me, but if you don't get what I want you'll be hunted to hell, you understand that, right?"
"We're already in hell, you don't have to go that far."
He took the photo for himself again and stuck it in the pocket of his overcoat.
Dong-hae watched intently as his glasses piled up on the table and smiled in victory, he was already going to the last drops of the first bottle, let's have fun drinking another one!
Well, that was the closest he could get to a victory, drinking expensive whiskey and sending his little sister to hell.
He wouldn't get the presidency of the company again overnight, that would take longer than he would like to admit and patience wasn't usually something he had in excess.
Quite the opposite.
So all of that would be so much work that his head would start to hurt just thinking about it. It definitely wasn't the fact that he hadn't eaten properly for the last three days and only drank whiskey.
Of course not.
But he smiled softly, a genuine happiness arose within him and the thought that soon he would be free of his problems: Eunji, at least he would pay well, very well, and much more than enough for that to happen.
He wants that girl to die and leave that entire family's disgrace marked.
Let them explode. Donghae doesn't like any of them.
He kept drinking as if there was no tomorrow and maybe there really wasn't... But he still had an appointment for that night.
But honestly he was already tired of sitting in that place.
How much longer do you expect to make me wait to finally show up, you scared shitless bastard?!
He looked at his watch on his wrist and the hands even seemed to be in slow motion, time seemed like it didn't even want to follow its natural course. 10 p.m. Impatient, completely impatient and drunk.
He tapped his feet tirelessly on the floor and thought to himself, 'Okay, I'll just wait ten minutes', but as the seconds passed he found himself in the situation and was staring at his hand, more specifically at the ring on his finger, the family ring.
The ring that had the family symbol and that had the same symbol as the pendant Eunji wore around her neck.
He laughed at himself, he was being humiliated by a child.
He stared at the ring on his finger and wondered if one day he would have fingers to keep wearing it. Cheaters should lose their fingers, right?!
He had lost count of the people he had betrayed.
Let's just start by getting rid of that ring, it must be one of the main reasons for the bad luck he had with him lately.
Honestly.
Everything was going wrong. Time finally seemed to pass as he fixed his attention on that stupid ring and noticed that the chair in front of his was being pulled out and someone was now next to him and accompanying him at the table.
Dong-hae had no doubts about who it could be.
He looked at the clock and it was now 10:05 p.m. "You're five minutes late... Junseo."
"I got stuck in traffic"
The man said smiling, a smile so awkward that it was even ugly to see. He picked up the menu that was on the table and started looking at it, avoiding looking at Donghae, his legs were still shaking from earlier.
Kim Dong-hae sighed tiredly, the excess alcohol was already starting to weigh him down and he felt dizzy. Now he just wanted to throw himself into bed and sleep without having to wake up at a time.
Well, that was the positive thing about being unemployed. He didn't have a time to wake up.
"How can I help?" Junseo said without looking at Donghae, he wanted to go to his house, vacuum his carpet and feed the cat. Albert would be mad at the delay in dinner time.
Dong-hae just took a deep breath and took another sip of his whiskey... He made a slightly ugly face, that was great, but it was starting to get difficult. A little funny that he had been so stressed lately that he couldn't handle more than two bottles. He was really getting weak.
"I want you to continue with the work you were doing... Don't let Eunji find out, so be of some use... Look for everything you can about my adoption process, search everything, from the conversations to the files of registry offices and hospitals. I don't care how, but find who my biological parents are."
Junseo, who had previously not cared to look at Donghae, was now afraid and as he listened to him speak he felt surprised, but perhaps a little more terrified than surprised.
He felt obliged to look at Donghae.
He couldn't hide the look in his eyes that was one of complete surprise. He sighed, his stomach now feeling a little queasy.
"I can do this, but Miss Eun-ji not finding out is the hardest part, almost impossible in fact... She controls everything I do."
He nodded in agreement and made his companion laugh in disbelief.
After all, was it possible to hide something from Eun-ji?! But he also felt a little funnier. "I know she already cut me out of business... But does she know you're here?"
Junseo denied it voraciously, of course he wouldn't know! "No!"
Donghae drank the rest of the drink in his glass in one gulp, filling his mouth and making it go down in one go, he couldn't take it anymore. "So she doesn't know everything you do."
Jun-seo was someone who had worked for loan sharks and private investigators for many years, so he really knew when it came to getting information... Which also ended up becoming a problem when he started asking for loans and decided to get a formal job at Kim companies, his debts were too big to ignore.
The company didn't pay him enough for him to pay off the loans and they went back to the double life of working for whoever he owed.
Donghae paid off the debt when he found out, only God knows how he found out, but he found out and started blackmailing Junseo with this fact.
Now you owe me, so pay me back.
Time is money and money is also time.
Dong-hae fingered his glass as he watched the ice play gently with the empty surface. "... This time I will pay you, but this needs to be between us, Jun-seo."
Jun-seo had no intention of betraying Eun-ji any time soon, but he was very afraid of Dongae... He also liked money.
As a result: He needed money and Dong-hae certainly had it.
"It's okay, I'll keep it a secret…"
"Jun-seo, I'm going now…"
Dong-hae put some bills on the table and got up to leave, he didn't even bother to look at the amount he threw. He picked up the bottle he had paid for, he would take it with him, of course.
Jun-seo just nodded as he stared at the menu.
He sighed in his heart, maybe he was more crazy than desperate.
He was more afraid of Eun-ji than Dong-hae, but one thing he was sure of: that family was very troublesome.
After a few minutes Junseo heard the waiter approaching, he stayed long enough to think about life and the fear he had of the Kims, long enough for the order he had placed to be ready.
Donghae left him enough money to pay for Junseo's drink and food.
"Your order is here... Eat well." The smiling waiter said.
Junseo smiled in gratitude. He took out his cell phone and took a picture of his food.
It would seem like just another person sending a random picture of what they were eating to someone close to them, but the most interesting thing was the message he was sending along with the picture: You're right, it's delicious.
Next to the food was the ring that Donghae had left on the table, probably left to be forgotten.
That didn't matter to him anymore.
The number that was saved as 'Momo'.
Of course, it was a parallel number that Eunji had for her to communicate with the people who worked for her and she didn't want other people to find out.
The reply was a short and simple: Congratulations. Eat well.
Eunji really is a demon, she knew about the meeting as well as she knew that Donghae would laugh and ask for exactly what he asked for and now... Well, now Donghae was starting to fall into her trap.
Like an insect that gets trapped in a spider's web.
Well. Junseo put away his cell phone and let out a sigh. Regardless of all that, he was now alone at the table and could enjoy some delicious food.
The night passed in a peaceful and pleasant manner.
