The news did not make Yeonwoo flinched nor showed a surprise reaction. His face was still calm and collected as if the accident did not make his mental health collapse until he hung up.

The system, who can now freely move now floated beside him, anxiously observing his expression [This... Host are you sad?]

Yeonwoo furrowed his eyebrow, and his face carried a confused reaction. Was he sad?

How can he be dejected when he was the one who caused the accident of Hee-Ryang?

Yes. In fact, the accident was planned by Yeonwoo all along. And for the reason why, only Yeonwoo know that.

The two only embraced the silent ambience. The night was dark and unlighted, as the tragic wind carried a hint of sadness. From the lifeless corpse to the missing body of watcher. It was a very catastrophic air.

After Yeonwoo finally came back to his senses, he commanded his men to erase the traces of the slaughter on this warehouse. He then directly went to the said hospital and saw the relatives of Hee-Ryang attentively waiting for the results. His mother Taeha, and his brother was also present. Upon seeing Yeonwoo, they immediately remind him to calm down and wait for the result.

How funny.

How ironic when they tried to comfort the one responsible for the accident.

It took a couple of minutes before the doctor exited the emergency room and has a conflicted expression on his face. Some of the relatives already know this kind of countenance and was silence.

Kwon Hee-Ryang was in a comatose state.

The extreme bombshell made the parents and Hee-Ryang's relative collapse and sorrowful. A mournful cried that came from Raegan, Hee-Ryang's mother excel the other noises. Only Yeonwoo was calm and had a sad reaction on his face.

Afterwards, the family went inside the room and displayed their miserable state. Yeonwoo stayed outside and was accompanied by his both brother and mother.

"Hee-Ryang will be alright." Noticing the silence of Yeonwoo, Taeha abruptly coaxed. Sobin also took a comforted stared on Yeonwoo before calling some people to help investigate the incident.

Yeonwoo went home after that, he only came back the next day. This time, the room who was filled with Hee-Ryang's relatives and friends yesterday, now feel spacious. Only Yeonwoo was present and eagerly staring at the sleeping face of Hee-Ryang.

The accident did not cause damage on his face, and only had a cut on his head that was wrapped in a bandage. The impact caused by the incident hit his head and caused him to be comatose.

And this is the exact result Yeonwoo wants.

He caressed the face of Hee-Ryang and his eyes can't help to tremble. The system beside him anxiously floated beside his host and gave his emotional support.

Yeonwoo landed a soft kissed on Hee-Ryang's face and whispered sweetly, "If I will meet you in the next life, I will try to love you for real."

The accident of Hee-Ryang spread faster than any latest news on all media platform. The fans and citizen immediately gave a sincere comfort to Yeonwoo and his family. Their engagement was well-known in showbiz, as Yeonwoo did not hide his affection on Hee-Ryang and perceiving the dejected news, the fans was also sad and depressed, but when they saw their idol still working and not affected, their impression of Yeonwoo become severe.

Two weeks after Hee-Ryang's incident, the slaughters of the old warehouse become the serious crime in the city. Many professional expert team up and identify the caused of this incident. When all the corpse has been identified, they went to the house of Kim and asked for cooperation.

"All of the victims was identified as servants of your house." A matured detective asked and stared deeply at the present people.

Taeha was shocked and looked at Yeonwoo before he answered, "We don't receive news after all of them quit their work the same time."

The matured detective furrowed his eyebrow and write his conclusion. The several police officers was busy looking for clues on the house.

"Sir, I found a phone from one of the maid's room!" A police officer handed an old phone and the detective straight away scanned it.

It's a good thing that the phone has no other pin or code and was opened at once. They don't obtain clues from the messages and contacts, but when they clicked the gallery, a clip grabbed their attention. The detective played it and their expression turned ugly.

In the video, a young, handsome man was angry and furiously beating one of the servants while the other was kneeling. The filming was hidden due to the harsh movements of the owner. The loud sound and cries make them angry for no reason.

When the clip ended, the detective hurriedly write his conclusion and scroll some other evidence again. And what he found shocked him, all different clips but the same person beating them.

"Do you know this person?"he asked deeply at them.

Sobin keenly stared at the screen and his eyes widened, "It's our half-brother Jiyeon."

"Where is he now?"

"After Hyunjin went to prison, he moved out from the house the night after that. And I heard he was staying in the hotel right now."

The detective and officers looked at each other, seemingly understanding what the current situation was. They hurriedly called several troops to head to the hotel where Jiyeon was currently staying.

Jiyeon who was no awareness of this was busy embracing several beauties, but his hotel room was forcibly opened, and few armed police officers went inside, restricting him.

"What is the meaning of this?!"he roared loudly while consistently struggling.

The chief officer narrowed his eyes and recited few sentences, "Kim Jiyeon, you are currently the prime suspect for the slaughtering of the servants in Kim's mansion. We gladly hope for you to cooperate as we investigate further evidence."

"No! What the fuck are you saying?!"

They did not mind his struggling and was forcibly carried by one of the officers.

The news of Jiyeon rumored to be the suspect was released, and the citizen immediately throw hurtful words for his deeds. And Jiyeon who don't have any idea for his crime was gritting his teeth and gave angry answers to the questioning detective.

"I told you, I have no idea about that!"he denied in countless times.

The detective smirked and placed the phone playing a clip on the table, mockingly asked, "Then what is the meaning of this?"

Seeing the video, Jiyeon's face completely turned paled. His irritation rose once again and kicked the table underneath, good thing that some officers was active and caged him.

"Don't play tricks on me! Call Taeha! He can clarify that incident was not my fault!"

"Why would you call my son?" A chilly voice sounded behind them. When Jiyeon turned his head, his anger only worsened.

Grandpa Jung's eyes flashed in fury as he scanned the overall face of Jiyeon. It was disgusting. He was exactly the copy of Hyunjin! Beside him was Taeha, Yeonwoo and Sobin.

Jiyeon's eyes drifted to Taeha and his expression calm down and brightened, "Taeha! Help me get out of here!"

Taeha flinched and turned his head away in disgust. Other person confusingly shift their eyes on Taeha and Jiyeon.

Receiving no answer, Jiyeon was once again angry and shouted, "Taeha you slut! How dare you turned your head on me! Did you forget that I am the only one who can satisfy you on bed?!"

He doesn't know why in the past few weeks, he can't control his emotions and annoyance making him always angry and furious. But he can't tolerate someone who used to be his plaything turning against him.

"What the hell are you talking about?!"Sobin can't control his self and rushed towards Jiyeon and landed a punched on his face. The officers were caught off guard in a moment but straight away pulled Sobin from beating Jiyeon.

Jiyeon spit out blood and laughed crazily, "Taeha don't forget how you feel that night! You even told me that I am better than your husband!"

Taeha and Yeonwoo both can't tolerate and even the officers and Grandpa Jung was engaging in abhorrence.

"Officer, I think there is a problem with his brain. You need to check it."Yeonwoo suggested.

Hearing this, Jiyeon turned his head on Yeonwoo and sneered, "You wench! You are the one plotting against us all the time."

Yeonwoo did not look at him and turned his head on the detective, "I think you need to check his mind, something was going on."

The detective attentively nodded and conducted a test, the next day.

When the test came out, their suspicion turned out to be true.

Jiyeon was taking a very dangerous drug that affected his mental health.

Hallucination Essence. A drug contained illusion that was severe and bad for the mental health of the taker. It is also made for the user to have a reality where his aspiration and dream came true. But the side effect was very intense due to the contains of the drugs. It was illegal and even rank the highest of the banned drug of the city. The user of this will become easily angry and annoyed. Many reported cases of killings and murdered was connected to this. That's why it was illegal and taking a single pill of drugs can served a lifetime crime.

No wonder, Jiyeon insisted that he and Taeha was having sex. Turned out that it was caused by the drugs.

Their expression become unsightly and disgusted flashed on their eyes. He had sexual desire for his stepmother!

Thus, the conclusion was finalized and Jiyeon was sentenced as a criminal and faced his retribution.

Jiyeon was in daze the whole time as the police guided him from the cell. The movement was stopped when Yeonwoo asked to talk to him.

Yeonwoo smirked and leaned closer to Jiyeon's ear, "Do you know the real reason for your mother's death?"

Jiyeon came back to his senses and glared fiercely at Yeonwoo, "What the hell are you saying?!"

"You got tricked, Kim Jiyeon. You got tricked by your allies." Yeonwoo then grinned playfully, "Your mother's death was not my mother's fault, but your father."

Jiyeon's eyes widened.

Yeonwoo only continued, "Both father and your mother were childhood friends. But my father has an unrequited love for your mother the whole time. In the meantime he can't still do something for your mother as his identity was only a poor hardworking worker. That's why he pursued my mother in any ways and finally manage to become the head of the house. He had power and wealth, but your mother still refused to be entangle with him and only see him as a friend. And later that night, he forced your mother to have sex. And you are the product of that."

"No, you are lying! You are damn lying!"

"This is the truth, Jiyeon. After your mother found out that he was pregnant, he was depressed and dejected. He blame his self for being careless. My mother found out about this and was eager to help him, but he denied that Hyunjin forced him to have sex and confessed that they both have relationship. My mother was angry and shocked, but he was still kind enough to let your mother stay in the whole night. The next morning, your mother disappeared."Yeonwoo saw how Jiyeon's eyes turned red and added, "Yunho was planning to destroy Kim Family at the start. That's why he needed your cooperation and tricked you about your mother's death."

Yeonwoo did not try to comfort the crying Jiyeon and hurriedly left without giving him a single look.

The next few days, Yeonwoo only stayed beside the unconscious Hee-Ryang and attentively watching the completion rate increasing. Their group was already well-known, Sobin will soon inherit their company and as for the darling of fate...he sighed and lowered his head to land a peek on Hee-Ryang dried lips.

"I once again broken an oath."he whispered sadly.

Yunho was having a mental breakdown this past few weeks. After that, he pushed himself too much and finally manage to get a second heroine role on the movie. The agent was satisfied with this as he tried to manipulate the reputation of Yunho.

But the day before the start of the filming, several photos made the director cut off Yunho on the crew.

---- Ah, so disgusting! That's why I don't trust angel faces people. They are more dangerous than anyone as their claws was very hidden.

---- I finally found the reason why our Queen Yeonwoo hated Yunho to the max level. I mean, how can you become casual at your father's mistress?

---- This Yunho is shameless. A really homewrecker. I pity Yeonwoo. His parents divorced, his father went to prison, his half-brother was a murderer and his fiancé was in comatose. How can he live a life like that?

Several ambitious photos of Yunho with Hyunjin was spread in the whole social media.

Yunho's hands trembled as he read the cancellation of the contract on the company. His hatred was too severe.

"Yeonwoo!"

[Ding. Yunho's Hate Value: 80%]

[Ding. Completion Rate: 80%]

Yeonwoo calmly listened to the robotic sound and was busy humming empty words. In the dark valley, his car was park, and he was inside it. Waiting for someone.

"How long can Yunho reach this place?"he asked at the floating system.

[Answering the host. The darling of fate will arrive at the estimated time of one minute.]

Yeonwoo nodded and put his phone down. He posted a picture on Weibo about him, taking a fresh air in this dark place. He instantly deleted it after a couple of minutes.

It was for to lure the darling of fate, actually.

He then opened the door of the car and light a cigarette and inhaled a bitter taste. The place was dark and only the light coming from the surface of the moon made the scenery appeared less scary. The air was chilly as it was already midnight.

"I really hate you. I really do." A resentful voice sounded behind his back.

Yeonwok turned his head and saw the angry and wasted face of Yunho, "What are you doing here?"

Only few people can passed at this place and mostly, the majority of them was already at home.

Yunho did not answer him and deeply stared at his face, "Why are you stealing everything that was supposed to be mine? I was not reborn just to be destroyed again! You evil!"

"You are crazy."

"Heh!"Yunho laughed crazily, "You are the one who posted the photos, right? You jealous wench!"

"Seriously, you need medication now."

"Don't lie to me!"

"So what if I was the one who posted it?"Yeonwoo sharpened his face and leaned closer to Yunho, "In fact, you deserved it. You deserve what you were experiencing right now. Destroying a family is not a hobby, so faced your consequences."

[Ding. Yunho's Hate Value: 100%]

Before Yeonwoo can retreat a sharp pointed thing suddenly stabbed him. His eyes widened, and the pain was intense as the stabbing repeatedly continued. He weakly leaned his body on Yunho's shoulder, allowing him to pierce a few more times and was finally stopped.

Blood drips in the corner of his lips as his strength grew weakened.

Seemingly, coming back at his senses. Yunho's eyes widened when he saw his hands full of blood and Yeonwoo's weak body leaning against him. His limbs went out of control as both of them fell down on the ground. He was at the top of Yeonwoo's weak body, and he can't help but trembled.

"N-No... I-I didn't mean to... I-I was just angry..."

Yeonwoo miserably laughed and coughed a few times. His blood was spit on Yunho's face that was brimming in tears. He grabbed the hair of Yunho and pulled it closer to his face.

"Remember this face whenever you sleep. Remember my blood whenever you bathe. Remember all those things...my miserable face...my helpless body...remember them. And engraved them...in every part of your memories." He then let out a crazy laughed.

"N-No! Y-Y-Yeonwoo! You...c-can't die... I'm sorry... I-I was angry... N-No please."he quickly shook the weak body of Yeonwoo as it only continued to laugh.

In just a few seconds, the laughter stopped and a lifeless body remained.

The news of Yeonwoo's death made the public shocked and sorrowful. Many fans can't accept this fact and was waiting for the real confirmation. But when the N-Zero confirmed all of this, many instantly feel depressed. The case of his murdered was become the significant task of every officer. But the traces of the murderer was completely erased.

Thus, this made the public went mad and furious. Various of different expert team up to uncover this mysterious crime and still found nothing.

On the day of the funeral, many actors, fans and relative was filled with sorrow. No one can even speak formally as the air was full of cries and sobbed.

But the murderer was still not found.

Weeks after Yeonwoo's funeral, Hee-Ryang wake up from his slumber. The Doctor hurriedly called all his family relatives and shared good news. In a couple of minutes, his whole family arrived at the same time.

But his eyes only softened and waited for a certain person. He leaned weakly on the bed and smiled teasingly.

Now, he can feel how Yeonwoo will scold him for being careless.

Noticing his son's movement, Raegan smiled nicely and coaxed, "Why don't you sleep for a while?"

Hee-Ryang grinned, "I was waiting for Yeonwoo. You can all go home. I'm alright here."

The whole room instantly went silent. No one was able to speak on this current matter.

Raegan's eyes went red and choked, "Come on. You sleep now."

"No."he responded firmly, "I want to see Yeonwoo, where is he? Is he busy filming? Or is he angry because I was careless?"he chuckled, making the others choked more.

Raegan bite his lips and shouted, "Yeonwoo is death!"

Hee-Ryang only laughed and did not take his words in serious, "Is this his revenge because I only wake up now? Come on. Let me see Yeonwoo and stop kidding now!"

"Son!" His father shouted and blocked Hee-Ryang from getting away from the bed, "Yeonwoo is really dead. His funeral passed two weeks ago. I'm sorry."

Hee-Ryang once again laughed, but his eyes turned bloodshot and small drop of tears drip in the corner of his eyes, "You are lying.... Y-Yeonwoo won't leave me. Yeonwoo! Baby come out, okay!... I'm sorry I was careless...come out now baby please."his hoarse tone was very miserable.

But none of them can ease the pain away.

Yunho with an exhausted face visited Jiyeon on prison. His life only worsened, but he doesn't plan to give up. Although, Yeonwoo consistently appeared in his nightmare every night, he can deal with that.

"What are you doing here?" Jiyeon asked in an angry voice.

Yunho was bewildered but still smiled, "I came to visit you."

Jiyeon gritted his teeth, "Don't try to fool me. I already knew that you tricked me."

A wave of shocked and disbelief floated on his face, "W-What do you mean?"

"I know the reason why you allied with me. It's okay, I also destroyed your reputation, so were even." Jiyeon smirked.

"What do you mean destroyed my reputation?!" Yunho voice turned loud, causing some officers to turned their heads on them.

"I leaked all the photos of father and you. I believe it works, right? You don't have any reputation now."

Yunho's eyes trembled as he digested the words of Jiyeon, he hesitantly lifted his eyes and asked, "Y-You are the one who leaked the photos."

"Yes."

Yunho suddenly collapse on the ground. His overall body trembled in tension. Tears started to brim on his cheeks.

What has he done?

He killed an innocent person.

He was a killer.

He killed Yeonwoo.

"No!" He rashed towards the closest officer and grabbed his uniform, "I was the one who killed Yeonwoo. I killed him. I admit it already, Yeonwoo stop pestering me anymore! Please....forgive me..."

The officer hurriedly called his superior and investigate this significant case.

And in the few days, Yunho was sentenced as a criminal. All the evidence was used against him suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"No! My baby! You killed my baby!"Taeha cried and glared intensely at Yunho who was restricted by the officer. He did not bother to lift his face and accepted all the hurtful words that was thrown to him.

Hee-Ryang with an expressionless and lifeless face only watched in silence.

Yunho, Hyunjin and Jiyeon's life on prison did not go well. In the next few days, Hyunjin died because of his diseased. Jiyeon followed him the next few days. Only Yunho can't die, no matter how hard he tried. He will always be save and suffered again.

Sobin become one of the outstanding CEO of the new generation. He was engaged to a former group member N-Zero's Yunbin and was expecting of having their first child.

Taeha followed his father and returned to their ancestral home to have a vacation and escaped from the tragic ambience of the city.

N-Zero's Zaya become the professional dance instructor in the famous show and finally created a dance studio.

N-Zero's Kyle become one of the greatest singer and become engaged year later to the film emperor, Suho Lee.

Many fans were happy for all them, but they still can't forget the once outstanding actor and idol. A significant figure of arrogant and class, but underneath was a golden heart.

In the sunny noon, the sound of the birds was very harmonious. The wind was chilly and fresh carried a hint of liveliness. The sun's rays beamed faintly creating a sweat on others body. A man in white carried a banquet of white roses smiled deeply at the tombstone.

His handsome face was unconsciously softened as it put down the roses he carried. His smiled was dazzling under the dim of the faint sun.

In the theory of life, the always one to fall will have a miserable end. As it always becomes your full devotion in both time and attention.

Kwon Hee-Ryang stared deeply at the tombstone,

"In the next life, I will still find you."he whispered and slowly lifting his face and embraced the rage of sun. His eyes bloodshot and his lips was bitten.

"It was an oath that won't be broken."
