"What is in this evidence. Specify," Minhyun asked.If the content in the USB was good enough, this could be a great plan. Once the auction finishes and the final round of socializing and networking comes to play, by making these contents go viral, it would bring the Moon siblings to scrutiny in front of all these high-profile people. That would be the ultimate finale to ruin them.
Ji-ho placed his index finger on his chin. "You know the usual. Violence. Public death threats. Text messages. Etc. Although they may not be punishable by law since she was a minor during this span, it would definitely cause a scandal among the general public," Ji-ho answered. He let out a proud smile. "I had to hack into the victim"s phones and the other student"s phones as well. It was very very tough finding all this but I did it in the name of justice!"
Minhyun nodded, ignoring the boy"s attempt of labeling himself as a hero. "And you can make this go viral, you say?"
If the information didn"t reach enough ears, then everything would just get buried under the covers. Then there would be no point in doing this at all. However, if it could cause an uprising in the online communities, that was a whole different matter. Bullying was a touchy subject in Korea and to see this injustice, many would be in rage.
"I know the algorithms and I can pull some strings and hack into the portals to make it pop. Don"t underestimate my skills. Do you know who I am? I am the greatest hacker of this century!" He sent a wink to Yoona. "A talented single man who wants to help my princess defeat the evil once and for all."
Having a kid flirt with her felt a little awkward. Nonetheless, Yoona went with the flow considering that her reciprocation wouldn"t be taken seriously. "Thank you sir Ji-ho. My white knight."
Minhyun let out a groan. "Don"t encourage him."
What Ji-ho did next was the unthinkable. He ran over to Yoona and placed his arms around her waist, hugging her as if she was a teddy bear. Since he was very short, he only reached her shoulders. Luckily, due to his age and scrawniness, n.o.body would misinterpret the situation romantically.
However, despite this fact, Minhyun was very annoyed. Clearly, Ji-ho was abusing his power and freedom. There was a limit he could handle.
That little f.u.c.ker.
"Sucks for you. You"re girlfriend agrees with me," Ji-ho teased. Then his wide-eyes looked up to meet with Yoona"s. "I think we are a better fit. Minhyun is too grumpy and scary. I can make you loads happier. I have lots of money too and i"m much more handsome."
Yoona let out a laugh. She noticed that Minhyun was clearly annoyed by the whole situation, but she didn"t want to back off. In fact, Ji-ho was quite endearing and adorable in a little brother way. She never had siblings so she did feel a sisterly bond with him. Plus, it was fun making fun of Minhyun.
"A lot more handsome," she agreed. The corner of her eyes watched the man beside of her. By now, Minhyun was trying to ignore their whole conversation. Annoyance overtaking his body. "And he"s not my boyfriend so you don"t need to worry."
Ji-ho tried to stifle a laugh. Mockery filling his eyes as he stared right at the CEO. "What? You guys still aren"t dating? Wow, I can"t believe the CEO of MH is so good with business and threatening innocent people like me when he can"t even ask out the girl he likes properly."
While searching for information about the Moon siblings, he came across information about Yoona as their latest victim. He also found out about how Minhyun picked her up at school and saw text messages from the students saying that they totally "shipped" the two. After their lovey dovey entrance, he was sure that they would be dating. Guess not.
Minhyun"s loss.
Yoona"s cheeks reddened. Ah, did Ji-ho noticed as well? It took a while for her to recognize whether Minhyun was interested [and she still wasn"t one hundred percent sure] but to think a child that she met for the first time today noticed it this quick. Perhaps, she needed to pay attention to her surroundings more often.
Minhyun let out a dark chuckle. Not from humor, but of malice. "You think you"re funny huh?"
Even though he knew Minhyun couldn"t hurt him, nervousness filled Ji-ho"s body. He gulped. "Oops. Was my jokes too far?"
Minhyun didn"t bother to answer Ji-ho"s question. "Where"s my revolver?"
Ji-ho jumped off Yoona"s body. The source of Minhyun"s anger was him fooling around with Yoona so he decided that this was the best move to make. Next, he did something that no person in this world had ever witnessed. To everyone"s surprise, he proceeded to run to Minhyun and hug him instead. Taken aback my the boy"s actions, Minhyun raised his arms.
"I"m so sorry!" Ji-ho cried while nuzzling his face into Minhyun"s suit. "Don"t kill me please! I still have a few more weeks to live!"
The scene garnered attention again. To see a young teenager hugging Minhyun made everyone"s blood freeze. That boy was as good as dead. There were social rules around the MH CEO that everyone formulated from his personality and one of them was not to touch him without permission. Ever.
Yoona let out a small smile. Minhyun could joke around with someone else huh? It was nice to see them talking like this.
But there was something that bothered her about Ji-ho"s words. What did he mean by a few weeks to live? Was he fooling or around or was there something more to him than just being a hacker?
"Get. Off. Me."
Ah, Minhyun"s tone was cold again. Ji-ho nervously chuckled and backed away. An innocent smile filled his face, his dimples accentuating in his cheeks. "I"m off."
"Do that again and say goodbye to the world."
Ji-ho saluted. "Yes sir!"
