Hwan's eyes went on the expensive sunglasses. He was standing in middle of mall. He walked through the counters. And found so many good things but his eyes fixed on that sunglasses.
His ahjumma nudged his arm,"Hey. Virgin ghost possessed you?" ahjumma teased sightly. Hwan laughed humorously,"From every aspect 'Virgin' word doesn't even glance at me."
Ahjumma chuckled too. Hwan expanded his hand and touch the glass,"Let's buy it."
Ahjumma shook his head and chuckled,"I knew."

Hwan tossed the shopping bags on his bed. His ahjumma was standing behind him,"Why you called me?" Hwan turned around to face her. He smiled. A genuine smile. He simply took out a bundle of money and walked closer to her,"Take this. And I already paid your debt."
Ahjumma's eyes widened,"WHAT?!" she yelled literally. Hwan idly rubbed his ears,"Hey. Calm down. Take this."
Ahjumma's eyes turned moist, she couldn't hold her tears,"Who told you to do this, idiot." She grabbed his shoulders. Hwan lazily said,"See, you shitty husband took lots of debt on your name. And you trapped in these. But you were not truely lived in these years. So now I want you to live."
Her shoulder quickened,"So now you want me to leave?!" she firmly said. Hwan sighed, and looked at her eyes,"I always be grateful to you. I gave me the warmth of a mother. You protec---" she cut off him,"No! Don't say I protected you. I was terriblly failed to protect you!" she broke into sobs.
Hwan hold her and let her hug him,"Listen, just go outside of here. And live a life. If you see the chance to beat the shit of that husband then also do that." He still kept a smile.
She pulled back from the hug immediately,"Wouldn't you cry?" Hwan shook his head as no,"I don't cry when someone finally gonna live happily."
She sighed. But suddenly Hwan spoke up,"But before you go..... Tell me my father's name." His expression became blank again.
She knew, Hwan will snatch the words from her stomach if she deny. She tried to convince,"Leave this, Hwa---
"I want the name." He didn't let her finish the sentence, not leaving the room for arguement.
She swallowed, and tremendously spoke,"K-Kim Byeong Hi."
Hwan nodded, "What his occupation?" His ahjumma sighed and told,"Maybe... In cop."
Hwan's eyes widened sightly but a cruel smile appeared on his lips,"Camel came under the hills." he smirked.

Tae Yun knocked the door of Hwan's doorframe. Hwan was sewing a sweater sitting on bed. Again wearing silk white transperent shirt. His lean but delicate body could be seen through the shirt but today the old scars sightly seen too.
Hwan looked up,"Come in. Officer." He smiled sightly. Tae Yun dragged the chair and sat on it before Hwan,"I did what you told me. Your case will be filed this time, Hwan."
Hwan again looked down and nodded,"Do you know Kim Byeong Hi?"
Tae Yun frowned and taken a back,"Yes, why?" Hwan looked up his eyes was different. Beautiful yet sharp,"How you know him?"
Tae Yun swallowed,"He is my boss." Hwan raised his eyebrows,"Camel itself came under the hill." he smirked mentally.
"If Sir involve in something like Sang Min was. Then swear to God. I'm going to quit cop." Tae Yun mentally screamed.
"W-Why?" Tae Yun asked with a bit fear. Hwan coated his face with a smile,"Nothing. He is maybe very kind man that he consider to send young men like you to here." his voice was calm.
But Tae Yun knew the tone. But he decided to keep quite. Hwan continued,"So they'll filing my case, right? So they don't work without forced by any source?" He again started sewing the sweater.
Tae Yun chuckled and said,"For whom you're sewing?" He asked out of curiosity. "For myself." He said flatly.
Tae Yun sighed. But smile,"So, what you want me to do next? I really want to help." He said. Hwan looked but. His lips curved and he raised his eyebrows,"I sometime confused by your behavior, Tae~" Hwan used his nickname for the first time. Tae Yun's eyes widened sightly,"W... What?"
He nodded with a smile,"Yeah. For a cop you're different."
Tae Yun chuckled nervously but his face flushed sightly. But suddenly Hwan shifted to the edge of the bed. Leaned forward and rested his elbows on his thighs and gently hold Tae Yun's chin,"And also you're too handsome for a cop."
Tae Yun's breath hitched. But he felt how soft and smooth the skin of the ruthless 'Brothel King'.
Tae Yun also leaned forward,"You're beautiful too... " He whispered. Hwan leaned more,"Am I?"
The sun light played the role of changing atmosphere.
"You know.... For the first time ever in my life." His eyes wondered around Tae Yun's eyes,"Seeing a real man."
Tae Yun's eyes softened,"Am I?" Hwan nodded. But soon they both break down in a laughter.

"Eat guys. Today's dinner is for you." Byeong Hi chuckled as he pour the Sang Min's glass with soju.
He invited Tae Yun, Jae Yoon, Sang Min and Min Soo. Tae Yun was quite usual. He sat couch, seperated from them.
They eyed Tae Yun who was staring at his mobile screen.
Byeong Hi nudged Sang Min's arm,"You should talk to you." he whispered. Sang Min sadly shook his head,"He will snap, sir. He changed so much."
Byeong Hi stare at Tae Yun for a little long. But maybe he knew the reason of his change.
Byeong Hi's mother walked in the living room and told to Tae Yun,"Why don't you drink?"
Tae Yun just looked up and said a flat NO.
Byong Hi's mother was a bit shocked but ignored. Suddenly the door bell rang. Byeong Hi's present wife ran to open the door.
They're chit chatting (except Tae Yun) suddenly heard Byeong Hi's wife's scream. Tae Yun looked at the direction but his eyes widened sightly when Hwan casually walked in the room. He pulled the chair of Sang Min. Grabbed Sang Min's hair and threw him from the chair and himself sit on the chair.
Byeong Hi's mother yelled. But Hwan rested his left leg on the arm of chair. And leaned on chair.
Everyone who knew Hwan was freezed. Especially Byeong Hi was about got heart attack. And the mother of Byeong Hi still clueless.
Hwan smirked,"Time to pay back, Father~"
