The voice that rang out so clearly through the silent teahouse was feminine and velvety.
Hyejin turned to see who was calling her and incredibly she had no idea who it was.
Well, she was just a pretty young girl.
Nothing else.
A customer... Maybe?! She had no idea... Well, did new people like that girl have enough money to have someone killed for her? Hyejin charged a lot, it was a good question.
She just ignored the questions in her mind, she was too tired to spend her few functioning neurons on it. She would just go with her destiny.
"Oh, hi… Excuse me."
She nodded sheepishly and turned to leave, but what was most surprising was the grip of a hand on her wrist.
In an ordinary situation she would just turn around and break that person's arm, but that wasn't polite in a teahouse.
It would draw disproportionate and unnecessary attention.
Anyway, Jeon Hyejin could feel her patience slipping away, she wasn't in a good mood at that moment.
She just turned and faced the woman who had the nerve to hold her.
The girl noticed the stare and soon let go of Hyejin's wrist.
Of course, Jeon was about to use brute force.
She would let go for better or for worse.
"Sorry... Hyejin, don't you remember me?"
The assassin sighed wearily as she lightly rubbed her wrist, that wouldn't leave marks, but why the hell did the girl hold her so tightly?
Yes, the poor soul couldn't even imagine the danger he was in by doing that with Hyejin in a bad mood.
"I should?"
The girl took a step back, Jeon had a terrifying aura and her eyes looked like an animal about to attack.
She swallowed hard, while countless guilty thoughts ran through her head... After all, a bad way to get someone's attention.
Hyejin crossed her arms, waiting for some justification, but the woman in front of her was paralyzed and red with embarrassment.
Her hands even shook.
At least cute, but still annoying.
"Well... It's me Su Jae... Mi Su-Jae we study in the same class."
Hyejin paused briefly to think... Yes, she knew that name.
That name was not strange, she had definitely heard it somewhere.
For milliseconds she really struggled to remember what that name meant and the faint memory of a slight, shy girl popped into her mind.
Well, if that was the same Sujae she'd studied with, the girl switched from water to wine in adulthood.
Her beauty was truly enviable. "Oh right, now I remember you..."
The strange acquaintance smiled happily at being finally recognized and even relieved, her legs were still weak from Hyejin's abrupt reaction.
Mi Su Jae wore business clothes. The face, the body... That woman was definitely beautiful. "How you are?"
Hyejin tried to smile as gently as her bad mood would allow and she could even hear a light laugh in her ear... Mark watched the whole situation from the box. "Good, and you?"
The woman nodded in agreement and then opened her purse, digging through it to pull out a small paper.
Her contact card and work address.
Hyejin arched her eyebrows feeling curious, after all, what did that woman expect? A date?
"Well… Hyejin… Sorry, would it be awkward to ask for your number? Here's my card, you can call me... Let's have coffee later... I want to talk, but I have a meeting now."
Yes, she expected a date.
So tiring.
Jeon didn't mean to call, but she kept the card, feigning some kind of interest.
The woman held out her cell phone for Hyejin to write her number and she just tired of that situation wrote her number without thinking too much... She could write a fake number, but for some reason she didn't.
Jeon felt so desperate to go home that she just offered what the woman wanted without any reluctance. She would deal with that later.
After all, what's the worst that could happen? The worst that could happen was that she would be forced to change her number for the thousandth time. "Oh sure... Here it is."
The woman smiled and gently touched Hyejin's hand, then quickly said goodbye and went on her way.
Staring at the watch on her wrist she could see she was already late for her meeting. "I call you!"
"Of course, of course."
Hyejin just nodded, hoping that woman wouldn't look back or change her mind and insist on talking more at that moment.
Assuring her that she was out of sight, she hurried her steps away as far as she could from that tea house, she didn't want to run the slightest risk of bumping into her again.
After reassuring her that she was okay and nothing would happen, she couldn't contain the relief in her heart.
She just sighed in a mixture of relief and tiredness.
The silence didn't last even ten seconds and a burst of laughter broke out.
Yes, Mark deserved to be unemployed... Hyejin thought to herself.
Mark sipped his coffee carefully as he listened to Hyejin's murmurs and wails.
Although he had no idea who Mi Su Jae was, he could recognize that the woman's voice was really beautiful. "I just went to get a coffee and you magically got yourself a date."
Jeon just walked along the sidewalk hoping to get to the bus stop and go home.
So that she could go to Eunji's house it was necessary for her to leave her car and now she was forced to walk or take the bus to get home. "I don't pay you to gossip..."
Mark heard the angry tone of voice and smiled, feeling funny. "You need to go out with this girl to see if you can put a stop to your bad mood..."
Hyejin and Mark spent a good few more minutes discussing her need for real dates…not just a hot night with Eunji.
Hyejin needed a sock, the lid of her pot.
Who knows the other half of the orange, right?!
Young Jeon couldn't stand that subject anymore, everyone seemed desperate for her to finally date someone and even Mark, who was an aggregate, had the same speech.
She even began to question herself about her strengths and weaknesses... Of course, she was a killer and that's not usually well accepted in relationships.
She also owned two money laundering establishments.
But surely the worst of all was her terrible ability to manage a kitchen... She knew how to cut onions and cried more than cutting.
The rest was up to the others, after all it was enough work.
Instant food and egg were her survival skills, most of the time she would eat with her family, in restaurants or even order food.
But under no circumstances would she cook.
Yes, she recognized her limits.
The qualities weren't that many, but they definitely helped.
Hyejin was an excellent marksman and drove cars like no one else.
She had a wonderful family and she was caring…well, most of the time.
Her romantic experiences didn't last long enough for her to show affection, but she was definitely affectionate.
Her stint as a getaway pilot served a lot.
Of course, the main thing... She knew how to get rid of someone like no one else and that was a very useful skill.
Mark felt revitalized after his cup of coffee and was now really ready to understand the work they were going to do. "What's the plan?"
Hyejin didn't need much detail and Mark didn't need much, he just needed to know who was the target and the customer. "A father wants to kill his son with an accident."
Mark laughed, this was definitely not a happy family story. "Quick and easy, what do you need me for?"
Hyejin quickly took the envelope and took numerous pictures so that Mark could use them in his research. "I'll pass along the information I've received and I want you to find out the basic information about the target and then confirm our plan tomorrow."
Mark smiled, he was missing his disguises. "Oh sure, have it done."
Hyejin finally saw the bus she was going to use approaching, she breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm going to my uncles' house and I'm going to get some sleep... After you finish the research, send me a report and you can go to sleep."
Mark got few days off, but they were all spent with sleep and more sleep.
He lived a completely nocturnal life to keep up with Hyejin and it was really exhausting and impossible to get adequate sleep.
"Thanks boss."
"Alright... See you tomorrow for the plan, be on time."
Hyejin took the headset from her and put it in the small box it belonged to.
She still wasn't sure what she would do the night after her sleep, but tomorrow would be a day full of emotions.
They would hack into the Kim companies' system.
Yes, Eunji would soon be at her feet crying out for mercy.
