CHAPTER 18: Meet the Mastermind

Kim's P.O.V:
Dong Min asked me to go to Gonzales' residence.
I guessed he told Rin to find the code in their past house.
It's still too early so I keep on snoring while walking.
I want to see Eya first in the morning today.
But I will be seeing Rin first instead of Eya.
When I am near their house, I stopped on snoring because I saw Norman.
I thought I will see Rin first today.
But it was him.
" Oh! As expected from Mr.guardian" I said
" Shh!" He said
" Why are you here?" I asked
" It's because, I need to escort Rin to their past house" he said with uncertain look
" Why? How did you know she's going there? Did she ask you?" I asked
" No"
" Then why? It's imposible for Dong Min to ask you then."
" Okay fine. I heard your conversation before"
I sighed deeply before covering my mouth with my hands.
" You.. should never ever do that. Didn't your parents tell you not to listen to other people businesses? You have no etiquette!" I said while pointing him.
Ahmm. He just closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
He's pissed, isn't he?
I should've just close my mouth!!!!
It's wrong Kim, Idiotttt!!!
He's planning to get revenge but the gate suddenly open.
" Oh? Why are you two here?" Rin asked
" I...you know I'm following you, right?" Norman smirked
Rin nodded and looked at me.
"Ah? I saw Norman. But if you're going somewhere, can I go, too?" I smirked
" No" Rin said
" Ha? Why? It's not like you and Norman are going to do something"
" I need to calm myself. Why don't you go with Eya?" She asked
" She's off somewhere. I don't have anything to do today. It's boring" I said
" Okay. But in one condition" she said
" What is it?" I asked
" You're going to help me find something" she said
" Where?" I asked as if I don't really know
" Just follow me" she said.
We're following her.
We're walking behind her.
And Norman is just like a crazy one who keeps on smiling while looking at Rin.
I came closer to him.
" Don't you think it's too hot today? I think she'll melt" I whispered
" What are you whispering for? She already knows what I feel" he said.
" Huh?"
" Are you deaf?"
" I was just kinda feel like sorry, you know"
" Why?"
" She already knew what you feel for her, and she acts normal towards you.."
" Shut up" he stopped, so I stopped,too.
" She doesn't like you"
" You want to die?" He asked and his look is already pissed
I ignored him.
And run.
" Rin, wait for me!" I shouted.
We've arrived..
Rin's taking her time to look at the front view of their house.
It must be hard for her to come here again.
But she did because she must.
I came closer to Norman, again.
" I'm sorry to what I said earlier. But you know, it's the truth. And I know you already know. Is it okay for you that she doesn't feel the same as you?" I whispered
" What choice do I have? You'll do anything for someone you love even if it hurts you a lot"
" So, how did you like her?"
" At first, I was just focus on my job. But then I feel like, not seeing her once incompletes my day. And seeing her smile completes my day"
We heard Rin sighed deeply before looking at us.
" Let's go inside" she smiled
Their house is still messy.
And there are caution tapes.
I guessed she asked permission to his uncle, too.
" By the way, what are we looking for?" I asked
" I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. It's a flashdrive. Gather every flashdrives that you can find" Rin said
" Okay. Then I'll start looking!" I said
Serenity's P.O.V:
It's so hard to find something in this messy place!
Where can I find it?
I stopped in my dad's room and think carefully.
If I were dad and I will be keeping something very important, where would I hide it?
I searched for every corner of my dad's room and I found nothing.
I went outside the room and go elsewhere still on the second floor.
We've been searching for almost two hours.
Norman and Kim are still searching on different parts of the house.
" Kim, did you find anything!?" I shouted
" Negative " he said
" How about you, Norman!?" I shouted
" Same" he said
I sighed deeply and looked behind me.
I saw my dad's torn photo.
I held it and sit on the stair.
" Dad, I miss you. Are you with Mom? Sy is really growing faster. Can you see her? Can you see us? Can you..help me?" I couldn't stop my tears from falling.
I saw Norman stopped for a moment and looked at me.
He smiled.
I encouraged myself to smile, too.
I suddenly turned my sight to the chandelier.
There's something there.
I quickly asked Norman to get the box behind the chandelier.
" Is that what we're looking for?" Kim asked
" I.. don't know either if this one's included" I said
" What if the flashdrive is in there?" Norman asked
" You're right, but.. there's no key" I said while looking at every corner of the box.
" Then, we need to break it" Kim said
" Not here. I'll ask my uncle to take care of it" I said
" That's good. But let's still keep on looking. What if there are still more" Norman said
" I agree" Kim said
" Then let's keep on searching until lunch time" I said
Dong Min's P.O.V:
I just got on the elevator.
Kim called me.
" What happened?" I asked
" She found it"
" You helped her?" I asked
" Of course! Ah. also Norman"
" Norman?"
" Hmm. He's waiting for Rin earlier"
" I think it's alright as his job"
" We're going to her uncle later"
" Okay. Give me some updates later" I said before ending the call.
I opened the door of my unit.
I walked straight to my room to get some clothes.
I took a bath.
After taking a bath, I headed straight to the dining area.
I stopped when I saw him.
"Dad?" I asked
He's sitting on the table.
" Come and join me for the lunch" he smiled
Smile as if you did nothing.
I sitted in front of him and talk to him just like I did before.
We started eating.
" When did you come? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked
" How can I tell you if you're ignoring my calls?" He said
" Ah.. that? I'm sorry. I just don't want you to ask me from backing up from the drama"
" I know you wouldn't. Who is she?" He asked
" She?"
" Oh come on, that someone special that made you stay in the drama"
" Ah. She's-" I stopped because someone's calling me.
It's Serenity..
" Who is that?" He asked
" It's.."
" So it's that special someone? Go answer her, don't mind me"
I answered her call.
" Hello" I whispered
" I found the flashdrive!" She said happily
" You found the flashdrive!?" I shouted
I know he's listening.
And I know he knew whom I am talking to on the phone
" I'll go there later. See you! " I said before ending the call.
I continued eating.
" You're going?" He asked
I nodded.
" Why don't you bring her here later?" He asked.
" I will " I said seriously.
" She's Serenity Gonzales, right?" He asked that made me stop eating
" How..did you know?" I asked as if I really didn't know
" She's somewhat related to the person who got the code I'm talking about three years ago" he said
" Ahh"
" I heard she found the flashdrive" he said
It's working..
" Are you saying, that the code is in the flashdrive?" I asked
" I'm not sure. I still need to take a look" he said
" Then I'll ask her to bring it later" I said
" Thank you, son!" He smiled
Keep on smiling...
Smile until the end..
Sebastian's P.O.V:
I'm at my study room inside our house.
I'm checking all the necessary papers when someone suddenly opened the door without knocking.
I looked and stood up because of shock.
" Ryan?"
Why is he here already?
" Long time no see, Sebastian" he smirked
We sitted for a moment and gave him something to eat.
He still thinks I'm on his side.
I'll better keep this until he got what he deserves.
" She found it" he said
" What?" I asked
" She found the flashdrive" he sighed
" Really? Since when?"
" I think it's only today. And you know what's good news? My son will help me to get it. It will finally fall into my hand. I will break and turn everything into ashes" he said
" So, what's your plan?" I asked
He suspiciously looked at me.
" First, give me all the papers you're checking earlier" he said
" Huh?"
" The papers"
I handed him the papers.
" What are you planning with these papers?" He looked at me
" For collection" I said
" Get rid of it. I don't want any information about me to be keep somewhere"
I nodded.
" I still need to prepare for tonight's dinner. I'll tell you my plan tomorrow" he said before going out.
What is he planning?
I need to find out as soon as possible.
Serenity's P.O.V:
" Do we really need to do this? I can't" I said to Dong Min
We're outside the special restaurant.
There's no much commotion about him being here with someone like me.
And we're meeting Ryan here.
Dong Min held my hand.
" It will be alright. I'm here. I will never let him touch even the tip of your hair" he seriously said.
We entered the restaurant and I already saw him.
He's smiling..
Smiling Mastermind..
I saw him on one of my dad's colleagues photo.
I can't look directly at him.
I sitted infront of him.
And Dong Min sitted beside me.
" So it's you. Nice to meet you" Ryan smiled
It's not nice to meet you!
" N-nice to meet you. I am Serenity Gonzales" I smirked
" Gonzales? I think I know your father" he said.
Of course you knew him.
" Why don't we order first?" Dong Min asked
" I already did. The orders will be here in a couple of minutes" Ryan said
" How about you, don't you want to know Dong Min's father?" Ryan asked me
You're not his real father though.
Dong Min held my hand tightly.
" If you'd like to" I smirked
" Just call me Ryan" he said
I smirked.
The orders have arrived.
" So, let's eat" Ryan said
I'm only staring at the food because I don't have any mood to eat.
" Aren't you going to eat?" Ryan asked
" I think I'm full" I seriously said
I looked at Dong Min and he's seriously looking at me.
" Do you want to go now?" Dong Min asked
" No, it's okay. You should finish first"
" Tell me if you can't do it anymore" Dong Min said
" Why can't she do it? She will just eat and talk with us. It's not hard" Ryan said
I am tightly clenching my hands.
Dong Min stopped eating.
" This is pointless. You now saw and know my special someone. Can we go now?" Dong Min asked to Ryan
" Not until you give me what I need" Ryan said
What does he need?
Dong Min looked at me.
" Give me. Give me the flashdrive" Dong Min said
" What?" I asked
" Just give me"
" But..you know there's something to it. I'm not yet even starting to look at it's content. What are you saying?" I asked
Why is he doing this?
It's already in my hand so why would I give it to that criminal!?
I stood up.
" No! I will never give this" I said before turning my back on them
Dong Min held my hand to stop me.
" Trust me " he whispered
I want to get out of here.
I trust him.
So I gave him the flashdrive.
He handed it over to Ryan.
He's very happy!
Dong Min once again held my hand before getting out of the restaurant.
Ryan's P.O.V:
I quickly went back to my unit.
While I was still on my way back home, I called Sebastian to come and see me.
He's waiting for me in the sofa.
" What did you get?" He asked
I sitted and leaned my back on the sofa.
" I finally got it" I sighed
" The code? How?"
" Dong Min gave me"
" I thought he's just a nuisance"
" Not at all. I will finally get rid of everything" I smiled
I stood up and went to my study room.
Sebastian followed me.
I opened my laptop and inserted the flashdrive
" I guess it's really the code. It's name's Sam" Sebastian said
" Let's try looking at the folders"
I opened a hundred folders, and they're just nonsense information and photos of Sam's family.
It's very tiring.
But I have to if I don't want to lose the company and everything.
" You opened everything but there's nothing" Sebastian said
" There's only one folder left"
I opened the left folder and opened a unique file.
" This is it!" I shouted
It's a long code..
" Sam really wants to keep if safe. It's such a long code" Sebastian said
I compiled and run the program.
" 'Like the hell you'll find it. Good luck!' this is the output of the code?" Sebastian said
" NO!!!!!!!! This is not what I am expecting to see! What is this thing!? It's not it! IT'S NOT IT!!!!" I shouted
I threw all the files and other things in my desk.
" Get out of my sight!" I shouted
" There's still a way-" Sebastian said
" Get out!!!!!!!!!" I shouted
Right after Sebastian left, I get my phone and called one of my people
" Follow her! And call me if there's something new!" I shouted.
I have no choice Sam, you let me choose what to do. I know there's still another one.
It's just a fake one!
I'm not an idiot, Sam!
You're the one who's idiot!!
