After the meeting, the trio had become swamped with work. From hiring, setting up the restaurant, to reaching out to shows; it had been a chaotic time. Even out of office hours, they would put all their effort into making Lucas"s dream come alive.While Yoona was on her laptop, Minhyun secretly snuck in. Without a warning, he gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders gently bringing her against his chest.
She flinched slightly, surprised by his sudden entrance.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
In response, he only snuggled deeper into her neck, gently breathing in her comforting scent. "You"re busier than me when it comes to work these days. How is that possible?"
A small chuckle escaped Yoona"s lips and she turned around, grabbing his cheeks. "That"s because you have White Mask to help you."
"You can have him help you too," Minhyun replied. "He"s an AI so he has the capability to be in multiple places at once."
Having this machine do a lot of her work for her would be amazing and would save her a lot of time. However, she wanted to do everything with her own strength. Unlike Minhyun who needed to power that White Mask possesses, she was just an average worker.
"It"s okay!" She said with a smile. "I can do this."
He c.o.c.ked his head, wondering if he should offer another worker in their office instead, but just nodded.
"Okay, but if you ever want something. I shall give it to you."
She shook her head with her lips curled up. "Okay silly."
He stayed silent for a moment. "Are you going to continue working."
"...Yes...." She said while raising an eyebrow. "Why? Is that a problem."
Minhyun shook his head. "Nope. Definitely not."

Then his eyes slightly softened. "But I miss hanging out with you."
She let out a chuckle. Minhyun was so cute. She loved seeing the more childish side of him - it was refreshing since most of the time, he was stoic. Her hands cupped his cheeks. "Don"t worry, the work will lessen when the ball gets rolling."
These emotions weren"t one-sided, she missed him dearly as well. More than she led on. However, she had to contain herself because she needed to get her tasks done.
But soon, they would spend more time with each other, and when they did - it would be a magical moment.
He nodded. "That"s true... And when I think about it, I realized that this is good for me as well. My heart wants to be by your side always but I need to focus on important matters too."
Then his gaze darkened.
Yoona flinched, surprised by the sudden change in atmosphere. Something was wrong. She could feel a slight rage in him. Beside, Minhyun would never say these types of words unless it was an important matter.
"Is everything okay?"
There was only silence, before Minhyun looked over at her. He looked almost like a stranger. All the loving emotions within had disappeared, leaving a sh.e.l.l full of hatred. Most people would be scared to see this side of him but all Yoona could feel was her heart-aching.
The war. The war was starting.
"It"s getting dangerous isn"t it," she asked.
A sigh escaped his lips. "Everything is under control. I know I"m going to win - the problem is, the off chance that he gains the upper hand."
And then his eyes bore into hers.
"Avoid my father at all cost. Avoid all the higher-ups at all cost. Don"t trust anyone except for your two friends, your driver, and Secretary Kim. Everyone can be an enemy, you never know. In fact, don"t even go inside of the car of anyone in our company or a strangers. We don"t want another incident to occur."
Yoona took in the information slowly and nodded. The worry in his voice, already let her know the seriousness. "Okay, I will."
"I also a.s.signed someone to guard you. Although you won"t be able to see him, he"s by your side at all time, rest a.s.sured."
n.o.body wanted to be followed all day long, but for Yoona, she felt the worry fall off her shoulders. She didn"t want to repeat the terror of being kidnapped again. She had enough of being involved with these psychopaths who wanted to hurt her.
"Thanks," she said with a light smile. Then she pursed her lips slightly. She knew that Minhyun"s father was the main enemy, but the exact details were fuzzy to her. She wanted to know what she"d be up against. "Just wondering, will you ever let me in on the details to what this war is about?"
Minhyun stayed silent for a moment, before looking up. "I can give you a brief overview but I cannot give away too much information, not because you aren"t trustworthy, but because these secrets could cost you your life."
Knowledge could be power, but also the poison that killed its owner. As she had come to know the rich society, this was a quote that she was able to really understand. People killed to have their secrets dug under the grave or to obtain them.
"Okay, I"m fine with having a general idea."
Minhyun let out a deep breath. "My father is attempting to take over MH once again. I, in all my power, am going to stop him."
This a.s.shole. Within her heart, anger surged. A father shouldn"t cause his son this much pain - yet Minhyun"s father was doing everything he could to ruin his own son"s life. It was sickening. And to think that Minhyun had to plot against him.
She pursed her lips. "How?"
Minhyun paused for a moment, his eyes diving deep into hers, before looking away slightly. Not because he was nervous, but because he didn"t want to show her the disgustingly cold expression of his. "By killing the roots of his operations."
Yoona did not ask any further.
This was enough for the day.
