Shouldn't you be a lot more careful?” grumbled Gaeul at Helian who was too careless and easily tripped over his own feet. She found it amusing that her friend was so unprofessional.
“Sorry,” Helian said softly. He himself admitted that he was too nervous while doing this. Theft like this was the first crime he had committed, it was only natural that he felt nervous as well as a little shaky, tripping over his feet many times.
Gaeul just snorted in annoyance. She was just following Helian's will. But for some reason Helian, really looked like a 5-year-old child, who was scared of getting caught while stealing candy in a small shop.
“You two please hold this painting, I'll jump out the window first. I'll hold it from the outside.” Chyou warned the two people.
“Hm... alright.” Gaeul took a quick glance at Helian, and found the young man still looking very unfocused. It was obvious that the young man's legs were shaking violently. Gaeul was sure that Helian must be unfocused. Therefore, Gaeul deliberately elbowed Helian's shoulder to wake him up.
Helian was a little surprised, but luckily she didn't throw the painting. She was still holding it properly.
“Focus!” Gaeul said firmly.
Helian could see that the sharp glance given by Gaeul made her feel even more frightened. Inevitably, Helian had to restrain herself as best she could.
When Chyou had jumped out, Gaeul tried to hold the painting. While Helian who was a little unfocused looked so hesitant.
Chyou herself who was already outside, tried to slowly move the painting. For some reason, Chyou felt that the moment he wanted to move the painting, it felt like it was shaking and that made it rather difficult.
“I don't know what you guys are doing. But if you want to do this quickly, please don't do something that makes the painting vibrate. I'm having trouble moving it!” Chyou informed.
Gaeul realized that it seemed like Helian's nervousness had disrupted their action. Annoyed, because Helian was still acting too nervous then, Gaeul deliberately made a noise secretly with her mouth.
“Huh what's that noise? Did we get caught?” The panicked Helian finally let go of the painting and reflexively jumped down.
“Gosh what are those two doing?” Chyou panicked to find that the painting was now actually freefalling downwards. She couldn't help but try to catch it, and luckily she managed to do so.
Meanwhile, Helian herself was hanging below the window. Gaeul still had time to hold her body and pull her back up.
“If you're going to kill yourself, please don't do it at a time like this!” Gaeul who managed to pull Helian's body back up, stared at the young man.
Helian was silent and could only look down in fear.
After Chyou successfully moved the painting into the car. Gaeul and Helian then immediately went downstairs and left the museum.
The three of them successfully stole the painting.
***
A few days passed, and the theft happened. For some reason Helian felt uneasy.
“Should I return this painting?” he murmured indecisively while staring at the painting intently. They kept the painting in his room.
Helian seemed to feel regretful that he had also become uneasy about the theft he had committed.
Helian continued to consider, it was hard for him to keep such an important object carelessly. His heart felt restless, like he was being chased by a loan shark.
So finally Helian decided to return the painting secretly. In his heart, Helian himself felt unable to do something like this.
Helian decided to enlist the help of insiders he knew at the university to help him return the painting. Helian even admitted that he had stolen the painting. And in return the university would call his parents. So Helian was happy to accept this.
“Your parents have to come here. You already know that what you did is bound to cause some trouble.”
“Okay. Thank you for your help earlier. I will take responsibility for my actions.” Helian then turned around and sighed heavily. It was undeniable that his heart felt much more relieved than before. But still, anxiety was there because he realized that he had made trouble enough to endanger his safety.

“I have considered this matter over. I'm sorry for making you come all the way here,” said Mr. Apple who was the chancellor of the university.
Na Yojin, who was Helian's parent, smiled. “He's gone too far this time. Huh... I'm honestly a bit tired of him. Young people these days are always acting weird.”
Mr. Apple laughed. “Forget it. Let's pretend something like this never happened. I think kids go rogue for their own needs too. Anyway, you've solved this problem well. You even made a sizable donation this time out of trouble to help the university. I feel bad for you.” Of course Mr. Apple was not going to prolong the matter since Mr. Yojin had already given a large sum of money to cover the matter.
Mr. Yojin returned the laughter sourly. “Ah right, young people are always acting up.”

“I hope, you don't act silly like this again!” Mr. Yojin sighed heavily. He had come all the way to Scotland just to solve the problem Helian had caused.
“I'm sorry. I promise not to do it again,” Helian said sincerely.
“That's all right. Dad wants to go meet someone first. You just go back to your dorm,” Mr. Yojin said before turning around.
Helian was a little curious about the person his father wanted to meet. But he decided not to interfere. He realized that he had caused his father trouble by coming all the way from South Korea to Scotland to settle the matter.
“I won't interfere this time,” she muttered before turning back to her room.
***
Mr. Yojin's arrival to Scotland was really taken advantage of by Fall Gray or Gray. Gray himself had expected that in the end, Mr. Yojin would come here because his son was making trouble. As planned, he wanted to lure Mr. Yojin, intending to cooperate with the successful businessman.
Who is that person? Why do I feel like I've seen him? Gaeul thought accidentally passing by, seeing someone standing not far from him. The person had an old-looking appearance. But Gaeul seemed to be able to sense a strange vibe from the old man and somehow she was sure of the person, that he seemed to be related to her.
