章 3: Investigation of it
"Phew!" Karin can breathe a sigh of relief after arriving in front of her apartment. He couldn't imagine dealing with a wrong person like Seojun. According to him, Seojun is a murderer because he saw that Seojun shot that person with his own eyes. I don't know what the problem is, but still, Seojun is a lousy person he must avoid.
Earlier, Karin was brought home by Seojun's bodyguard using one of his luxury cars. Before going home, Seojun sent Karin to the kitchen to rob her food ingredients in the refrigerator. Huh, can someone like Seojun also have feelings of guilt? But Karin didn't care, and she used the opportunity to replace the food she had lost because of that man.
Now that Karin is in the kitchen of her apartment, she sees Mother sleeping. Karin felt guilty because she didn't come home to this apartment last night. While caring for Mother, who worsened, Karin never left her for long. Even if he works, he goes straight home without having to play like a young person at his age and hang out with friends. It's hard to do that, but I can't help it; he is like a backbone for Mother.
Karin wanted to cry, not because she was moved or sad, but because the pain from slicing onions made her eyes tear up. After she felt enough to add all the spices to the soup, Karin poured the soup into a bowl large enough to be enjoyed until lunch. Because it's Saturday, Karin can still accompany Mother because she works from day to night shifts.
It's time for him to wake Mother first, don't care about his body odor because he hasn't had time to take a shower. Mother is more important, and he can't be late to eat. When Karin opened the door to Mother's room, she was already awake and looked up at the ceiling with her prone position on the bed.
"Mother?" Karin called, pulling a chair before sitting near Mother's bed.
Mother looked at Karin with a faint frown.
"Eat first, let's go. Karin is already cooking." Karin smiled as she said that.
Mother looked at Karin closely, and this made Karin feel intimidated. "Didn't come home last night? Are you all right?" Mother asked, looking worried for Karin.
"It's all right, Mother," Karin answered while seeming to force a smile.
"Then you went to the hospital?" Mother asked again.
Karin couldn't answer when she remembered the cost of Mother's surgery. So he just kept quiet, but Karin's right hand began to grasp Mother's slightly wrinkled hand slowly. Suddenly, Karin found the courage to change another topic. "Sorry, Karin knows I'm wrong. Sorry, I didn't come home last night and made Mother hungry."
After explaining this, Mother just kept quiet and didn't say anything.
Karin immediately gave her best smile, and she told Mother that they both had to have breakfast right now. "The soup is getting cold; let's go straight to the kitchen to eat, shall we?" Karina said.
"Okay, take Mom to the kitchen."
Finally, Karin could breathe a sigh of relief because Mother didn't ask many more questions about the last night she was gone. With the help of a wheelchair. Mother sat there, and Karin pushed her out of the room towards the pantry table.

"You were threatened last night, right?" Seojun, who just came out of the meeting room to his room, was blocked by Jimon's figure. Annoying, this man is sitting on the sofa in his study playing tabs, somehow his business, he always makes time to Seojun's office.
"Those who are threatened," Seojun said flatly; he walked over to the fridge to get a can of cold beer.
"Still, I already warned you that you always carry bodyguards everywhere in your car because they always want to harm you, so this Kim Group company gets rid of rivals from other companies," said Jimon while glaring at Seojun.
The man drank his beer as he walked and sat on the work chair. "You're exaggerating like this. You must still feel sorry for Mom because she asked you to look after me, right? After all, the wound a few years ago when shot me was fine and has healed, so you don't have to worry like this. I need some movement. free too." Seojun spun around in his chair while staring intently at Jimon.
"No," said Jimon, shaking his head slowly. "I was worried about you because they were our friends before."
'Click.'
Jungho came at the wrong time, and he smirked while looking down politely at Jimon and Seojun. Sensing that there was a fight between these two humans, Jungho was about to say goodbye. "Looks like I'm disturbing you two," Jungho said with an awkward smile.
"Come in." Seojun just shrugged nonchalantly and assumed there was no problem.
Jungho looked at Jimon, who then also nodded. "Then, I have to go back to my office. Tell me if you need anything, Jungho," said Jimon, who then decided to get up from his seat while carrying the tab in his hand; he patted Jungho's shoulder, then glanced at Seojun, who looked flat and cold before leaving this room.
Jungho sat at Jimon's place, and he took a deep breath before saying something to Seojun. "The girl who fainted that night is called Choi Karin; apart from living with her mother, she works at the coffee shop where you and the clients used to meet. Previously he was an SNU student, but Choi Karin had left campus. Because he had been absent for several months, he left his GPA blank. One more thing, he is a smart student because he managed to get a scholarship, but because his scholarship had not been in college for too long, he couldn't pay his tuition, so he decided to leave campus, Mr. Kim."
Seojun, who heard all the explanations from Jungho, could only nod with a straight face, and he did tell Jungho to find out all about Karin's life after bringing the girl home this morning.
"I'm attracted to him," Seojun muttered under his breath.
"Yes, Mr. Kim?" said Jungho, who felt Seojun was talking but shallow in his tone.
Seojun, who realized he had said something, suddenly shook his head and corrected before any misunderstanding occurred. "No, I want to ask. Why did he skip college? You know what? Even though he got a scholarship and just finished his studies, he couldn't afford it?" Seojun said while asking repeatedly.
Jungho is also confused; he doesn't know and hasn't had time to investigate further. "I don't know, and I don't know. Later I will find out what information is missing. I'm sorry," Jungho said while showing a bunny tooth smile while apologizing at the end of the sentence.
"Yes, you do have to find out. Because I don't want to report me to the police station," Seojun said as he stepped on the trash can to throw away his empty beer can.
"Then I'm sorry, Mr. Kim," said Jungho.
"Don't call me sir, and I don't like being called a stranger in the eyes of people I know." Seojun nodded before he opened his laptop and started busy working. While Jungho smiled when he heard this from Seojun, who he thought only thought of him as an assistant, it was more than that.
Jungho walked out of the Kim Group building and headed to his car. He still has one unfinished task; while working with Seojun, Jungho always likes the job and always finishes it nicely. So far, Seojun has always been kind to him, giving him a place to stay, all Seojun's facilities, even Jungho, can use. They are only three years apart. Jungho is younger than Seojun.
Several employees in this office greeted Jungho and were always fascinated when Jungho replied with a sweet smile, in contrast to Seojun. The latter never returned their greetings and continued to walk upright like a robot. Seojun himself is cold and flat in the office, but it will be the opposite when he is in front of the media; everyone will look at him in awe.
Jungho's mind will go to the coffee shop where Karin works. However, because one of Seojun's bodyguards was watching Karin from a distance, he immediately contacted the person. Jungho put his AirPods on for a moment before he greeted someone on the other end.
"Hello, are you still keeping an eye on Choi Karin?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"The coffee shop where he works, Jungho."
"Okay, I'll go there."
Jungho immediately hung up the phone and rushed to Karin's workplace.

"Karin, it's time for you to rest."
Karin looked at her friend, who had just come to deliver cake orders to customers. "In a little while, I have to drop off more customers before the break."
Kang Mira as Karin's co-worker, saw the girl today was weird. He looks very excited and enthusiastic. Even when Kang Mira felt exhausted, she said she wanted to replace Kang Mira's duties and told herself to rest for ten minutes before returning to work. "You're chasing a target, aren't you?" asked Kang Mira.
"Yes, there is something I have to do so that my salary this month can exceed the target."
"You workaholic!" Kang Mira let Karin; then she did something else.
The location of this Coffee is strategic, close to campus and offices. Karin never told her co-worker that she needed a lot of money to heal her mother. They only know glimpses of Karin's life, where Karin prefers to work rather than study, also living in an apartment with Mother. Apart from that, Karin never repeated anything and thought everything was always fine in front of her friends.
Karin has served five queues, she feels pretty tired, but she always remembers working hard for money. Suddenly, Kang Mira came again, blocking her work.
"What?" Karin asked.
"It's time for you to rest, Karin! This time I have to tell you firmly because the one who told you to rest was the assistant of the rich, successful businessman," said Kang Mira while pressing her sentence with exasperation.
"You mean, Kang Mira? I don't understand." Karin scratched her head in confusion.
"Ish! Anyway, I said you stopped working; first, a handsome man was looking for you, he said if you don't want to see him, the master will be angry. Did I think you two are dating? How can you deal with them, Karin?" said Kang Mira, pointing to someone standing in front of Coffee while holding a notebook, her silhouette wearing glasses.
"Mrs... Jungho?" Karin mumbled as if she remembered. "Ah, then I must approach him." Karin immediately took off her apron and handed it to Kang Mira.
"Have fun, Karin! Tell me if you date a rich person!"
Karin could only shake her head at Kang Mira's behavior; then, she opened the Coffee door before seeing a handsome face who immediately greeted her with the warmest smile.
'How can I meet this man? Why is he at my workplace?' Karin thought, surprised.
