6 Saving her

"He came out of the park's maze"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes hyung its him, he was wearing his signature clothes"

"But why did he go inside this mindless maze when he's here after my empire? Anyways, follow his car first. We'll catch him first before checking what he planted inside the maze " Seojin explained his plan.

"Hyung...there's something else"

"Yeah?"

"Minush's college is in the park right now...some of the students including her are in the maze too"

Seojin quickly opened the door and came out. He turned to Jihyuk, "you go follow the car and I'll go inside the maze"

Before Jihyuk could respond to him, Seojin was long gone inside the park.

-----

After obtaining the map of the maze and interrogating which path she took from the ticket collector, he went inside from gate 4.

Even if he didn't have the map, with his level of Iq, it would be easy for him to pass the maze in minutes. But, he was scanning each and every corner, each and every dead end. After sometime, he came across a small room cleaner's room. The twisted the knob but it was locked from outside.

He was now certain...

....She was inside.

He took a small pin out, which he often used for these purposes.

After unlocking the door and switching the lights on. He saw her figure laying unconscious near the corner.

His heart ached at the sight.

He took her in his arms and completed the remaining maze.

As soon as he reached the last part, he heard foot steps nearing and voices shouting her name.

He glanced at his surroundings and saw a resting bench ahead.

He placed her body on it and left.

----

On the other side, Lisa came out of the maze shouting " I won ! I WON" only to find all the other classmates gawking at her.

"Am I the last?"

"No you're the second last. Minsuh's still inside."

"So I still WON! WON WON!" She danced in victory.

They scoffed.

"You and the 3rd last person had the time difference of 20 minutes"

"Will Minsuh come out tomorrow morning?" Doosik asked annoyed.

"She must be scared alone..." Lisa mumbled in realization.

They all laughed at Lisa's statement.

"I'm going in to dook for her" Lisa told them before entering the exit of path 4.

"Wait! You'll get lost again! We're coming too"

So all the classmates rushed into the path 4 to find Minsuh and to tease her about it the whole year.

--

"There...there she is!"

Lisa rushed to the resting bench and assumed that Minsuh was sleeping.

"Lisa was losing her senses being scared for her and she's here sleeping"

They all surrounded her.

"She has a bit of fever too...Let's just carry her outside."

They took her outside to the rest of the class.

By that time, the professors had already called for a bus to escort them to the hotel because they assumed that 'the students must be tired' "

-------

Meanwhile, In room 208, someone was pacing back and forth, waiting for a certain person's arrival.

"Hyung, why did he lock her in that maze? I thought he was after you...what use does he have of a college student?

Seojin glanced at him with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"D-does he know who she is?"

"So it wasn't just my father who was looking for her all these years. The rival gangs were after him too"

"Your father couldn't find him because we used to replace all the leads in his work but if we had known that the night gale gang and night tiger is after her too..."

"What's done is done... We need to make sure that they don't lay a finger on her in the future."

"Call the Seoul headquarter and ask for more people...Things are about to go down..." After discussing the plan and taking a few phone calls, Jin ordered Jihyuk to sleep.

But he himself kept pacing around the room.

Only when he heard the neighbour room open, did he go towards his bed.

---

Next morning Minsuh woke up with a sore throat.

She looked around the room to find it empty. Lisa must be wandering somewhere in the hotel.
