3.

2 days before the meeting.

The US.

One. Two. Three.

Fire.

Another day goes by with me ending my day with a fire

How wonderful!

I place the gun down, smelling the rusty old gunpowder flushing through my nostrils gives me the chills and I let my eyes close at the smell.

'You're not worth it'

'Your right, she is not worth it'

Me: Even after 5 years I still can't get over those words but can get over him...Pathetic. How pathetic.

Right on the dot, my phone rang. The time now is 5.00pm. Exactly, for the past 5 years, this ritual never changed, I spent an hour or so at the range, close my eyes inhale that scent and think about those hurtful words that sting my heart and say the exact phrase and my phone rings.

I pick up the call knowing who is on the other line.

???: YAH!!! WHERE ARE YOU?

Me: Why do you ask if you know, Sreya?

Meet Sreya, my one and only best friend, my partner in every chapter of my life, the vice president of my company.

Sreya: Well hurry up, you had enough time to cool down and feel nostalgic! Go home, will you?

Me: Haha! Your right! Alright, mother, I'm going home!

Sreya: That is my child! Call me when you get home! Be careful Okay?

Me: Okay!

I have introduced the most precious person in my life, but I forgot to introduce myself! Sorry.

Hello to those who are reading my perspective on this story, I go by the name of Brooke Adams in the US, but my Korean name is Ahn Eun Ae. I was originally born in Korea and moved to the US due to unpleasant reasons. Majority of the movement was encouraged by parents and Sreya. My family, in the beginning, were not poor or rich in the scale of the society, but we were average. However, things changed in that 5 years, I studied law and passed the bar with the possibly the highest score and luck came my way, I succeeded and I'm grateful towards many people and hard work does pay off. Of course, there were difficult paths and now I run my own Law firm, called LIMITED. In other words or phrases, I'm pretty famous.

TIME SKIP

After a 30 minute drive, I reached my habitat.

I live alone, my parents and all other relatives live in Korea. Opening the front door to my house, I turn on the lights and tighten the security checks and ensure my cameras are working safely.

I run to my bedroom and quickly enter my bathroom to take shower, and when done I throw in some black pyjamas and went downstairs to eat something while checking my emails and other files before for tomorrow and for my meeting.

Good night to all now since I will finish this up quite late, you honestly don't want to wait for me, trust me. I will see you in the morning!

TIME SKIP

The hour hand struck past 8:00 AM, I finished the usual morning routine like any other day an hour early, Finished my breakfast and got dressed, I figured you would like to see the outfit of the day!

The hour hand struck past 8:00 AM, I finished the usual morning routine like any other day an hour early, Finished my breakfast and got dressed.

I gave myself a quick tidy up, before heading to work. After about thirty minutes, I reached my second home, LIMITED.

As I opened the door of my car, my secretary appeared and greeted me with a smile.

Secretary: Morning Ms Ahn

With a smile plastered on my face,

I say: Morning Mrs Seoung

I walked passed her and the door to my second home flung open revealing various employees saying their utmost greetings.

I smiled and bowed at them.

I head to my office with Mrs Seoung announcing the plan for today.

Mrs Seoung: You have a meeting in 30 minutes, and another case discussion at 2, Finally, you are appointed to have a call from Mr Jeon

I looked up from my files and asked:

Mr Jeon?

Mrs Seoung: Yes, he would like to ask you for a favour.

Favour? What favour?

Mrs Seoung continued: Ms Ahn?

My train of thoughts was interrupted by her worried but subtle voice.

I answered: Ah yes, thank you, I will call him later. Please get the staff and the files ready for the meeting, please.

Mrs Seoung: Yes, I will be going now.

She bowed and left through the door, leaving me to reminisce my past.

Mr Jeon?, The professional, hardworking and kindhearted person who guided me when I was lost and trained me to be me. A brave independent silhouette that shined brightly at the end of my darkest tunnel.

Mr Jeon, What is it that you want from me?

TIME SKIP

6 hours have passed.

I finished the majority of my tasks for today, but one task still remains.

The call from Mr Jeon.

I stared at my phone in anticipation. Counting each and every second.

...1....2...3.

*Ring*

My eyes widened at the caller's ID.

Mr Jeon.

I quickly cleared my throat and hesitantly answered his call.

Me: Hello, Mr Jeon.

Mr Jeon: Hello Ms Ahn.

Me: it has been while, Mr Jeon.

Mr Jeon: Right? It has been a while. How have you been?

Me: I have been good. How about you, sir?

Mr Jeon: Honestly speaking, not so good.

Me: Why? What happened?

Mr Jeon:.....Eun Ae-ah, I have a favour to ask you.

Favour? Again, what is it? the curiosity building up in me and lead to me to ask the question that eventually rolled out of my tongue.

Me: What is it?

The other side of the line remained silent.

Me: Mr Jeon? Are you there?

Mr Jeon:..*sigh*, Eun Ae-ah... I would like to retire soon, but to do that, I need to accomplish something, teach my youngest son, the value of life.

Youngest son?

Me: Your youngest son?

Mr Jeon: Yes, You know him, Jungkook.

That name... a name I wish to forget.

Mr Jeon doesn't know my past relationship with him. And he doesn't need to...yet.

Isn't it better than he doesn't? No, I have to come clean. I have let him know eventually.

Me: Yes, please continue, sir.

Mr Jeon: I need your help to train him. I will tell you all the details regarding my plan face to face. If that is alright?

Me: Face to face?

Mr Jeon: Yes, I want you to come here, to Korea. I know your busy with your own law firm, but is it all possible if you can come to Korea to help me?

Going to back to Korea?

Me: It is fine Mr Jeon, I do have a plan of opening a new firm in Korea, so this is a good opportunity. I will deal with the things here, so do not worry, sir.

Mr Jeon: Thank you, Eun Ae, I really appreciate it, I will tell you the details when you get here.

Me: Yes, and Mr Jeon, I have something to tell you as well, but it can wait until I get there, it is something I have to tell you directly.

Mr Jeon: Yes, I look forward to seeing you again, and Eun Ae, can you get here as soon as possible?

Me: Yes, I will leave early tomorrow morning... Yes, goodbye, Mr Jeon.

The call ended. Leaving me nostalgic about the past.

I have to train him?

The guy I fell in love with, the same guy I have worked for and called him, Boss? The same guy who shattered my heart into pieces and ruined the contained happiness I felt when I loved him!

Do I now have to train him?

The irony in that?

A small scoff filled with nothing but hatred left my lips.

Sigh.

I guess it is time for him and his unfaithful mother to taste their own medicine.

I stood up from my chair and stared vastly at the view in front of me.

I soon called Sreya, telling her the details of the call.

Sreya: So... are you really going to go?

Me: Yh, I am...

Sreya: Are you certain, that you want to help Mr Jeon?

Me: Hmm, Sreya, Mr Jeon did not do anything wrong, it was his unfaithful wife and his son, that tormented me without a reason. He shouldn't pay for it. I'm going to confess the truth to him.

Sreya: *sigh*, okay, if that is what you want to do then, who am I to stop you.

Me: Thank you, and you're coming with me.

Sreya: Of course, I'm coming with you. I'm your energizer. Hehe.

Me: Haha, YES YOU ARE!!! Can you do me a favour?

Sreya: What is it?

Me: Open up the new firm, in Korea. And I want it to be better than anything! It has to be presented in the public eye, as the best! Do you know what I mean? I will tell you the details when we get there!

Sreya: Alright! But when are we leaving?

Me: We will leave tonight! I will manage the company here and settle a few things!

Sreya: Okay, I will let the jet ready.

Me: And one more thing, make my arrival the biggest news that they have ever heard!

Sreya: Okay.

I hung up the call and discussed the matter with Mrs Seoung.

Me: I want you to take care of everything, Mrs Seoung, while I'm gone! But do contact me if there is any problem or if you need anything! And report to me every day! Even if it is the smallest detail!

Mrs Seoung: Yes, Ms Ahn, Please do take care of yourself!

I nodded and said: Yes, I will and can please get the car ready!

Mrs Seoung: Yes Ms Ahn.

She left after a bow.

Be ready, Jeon Jungkook.

The real game starts now.
