Clouds never leaves the sky

Bo-ra delighted, "Mr. Lee, we received the signal on the island."

Lee and Bo-ra were monitoring the quad-copter device's webcast of Island.

"Mr. Lee, the camera won't get caught on their hands, right?"

"Surely, it caught."

"What?"

"We will send another … Had you obtained the previous records of Lucas's past records?"

"No, sir… There is no such thing about his past. What should we do now?"

"Check Jeson's earlier records next; any of them may reveal dirty deeds committed by Lucas. Then we provide his records to higher-ups for their endorsement in order to apprehend Lucas."

"But Lucas might drag Aera's father along."

"Something for nothing, we should pay the price, Bo-ra."

Aera lying on the bed, distressingly, while Lucas enters the room. Abruptly, she arise and backed away. He said, "It's alright. I am not here to harm you."

He takes out the locket from the box. "This is my mother's locket, which was gifted by my father," he said as he drew her hand nearer to him.

He slung the locket around her neck, "I wanted to give it to you many times… but before there was no time."

Aera was listening to him with irritation. He adds, "You are more beautiful with this locket."

"Evening, I plan the supper for you and our… your father. Be on time."

Anderson and Rang were sailing on the ship in the food containers. Rang stated, "This place is extremely hot," as he makes a try to open the container.

"Hey don't open it. What if someone saw us? Within an hour, we will arrive at the location."

Rang wipes his perspiration, "No… I can't able to breathe here… Ahh…"

"Hey… I forgot that you are seasick."

"Ahh… how did I forget about this? I think I am—"

"Hey… don't throw up here, this is a food container."

Rang gasped heavily, "I'll hold back."

Han-na was learning how to navigate the ship from Daniel. Han-na questioned, "Why haven't you married yet?"

"I am scared."

"I don't believe you are scared person."

"Who says I'm not scared? What if I fail in my marriage life… as a good husband and as a caring father? If a woman genuinely cares about me without considering my past, then she is an angel. And I don't want to destroy that angel's life in any way."

Han-na flashed him a smile.

"Go and look at your brother."

"Yes."

Shin was sitting atop the ship, taking in the sea view. Han-na drew near to him. Shin awkwardly sees him, "I am sorry."

"For what?"

"It was wrong of me to compare you to your father. Please don't think that I am forgiving you of all your mistakes."

Han-na is gazing at him with a smile.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Other than the issue with our father, why do you dislike me so much?"

"Just… you have everything. You are wealthy, attended a good university, have a father on your side and a mother."

"Wealthy…" he laughed. "Financial aid and college paid by father, that's his responsibility. And mother… You hate my mother too?"

Shin silently looked at him.

"My mum learned about you before I did. When she realized, she raced over to me and suggested that I bring you to China. You know what, I declined, said 'Shin wouldn't even know about our existence. Why do we care about his existence?' I got slapped by my mother."

"Really?"

"Yes… My father's affair was a secret to my mother. If she had known about you, she would have stayed in Korea forever. She ordered me that I should be back with you or else I should stay in Korea."

"Father…?"

Han-na hits his head, "Why did you hit me?"

"Don't expect everyone to be like us. That's a stupid thing. At the same time, it is extremely stupid thing, to ignore everyone merely because of one person's mistake. I am not going to leave Korea until you come with me. Our mom is waiting for both of us."

Shin is looking at him with guilt.

Han-na stands up, said, "Be careful. I don't know how to swim, so don't fall into the water."

Lucas conversing in the phone while he noticed the men unloading the packages. He walked up to them, "Has Alex sent these?"

"Yes, boss."

He moved a short distance away from the packages before stopping and tapping a large container. Inside, Anderson and Rang were hiding, both of them, glaring ominously at one another.

Lucas commands, "Open this container… what's in the container, exactly?"

Rang felt queasy, promptly Anderson covered his mouth, "Please…" both were sweating profusely.

The thug replied, "These are some 30 years old wine, Alex specially sent you." The thug tried to open the container.

"Stop… take inside."

The container was put in the kitchen by the servant. When Anderson unsealed the container, he could see that numerous people were cooking the meals. Rang said, "I can't hold it anymore," he begins to throw up.

Anderson took a bowl and handed him, "Rang throw up the bowl."

Rang is exhausted and gasps loudly, "Now I feel better after throwing up."

"Are you really okay?"

"Yes… Still men out there?"

"Yes… We must wait for a while longer."

Rang said in a hushed tone, "Ander…"

"Why? Want to pee? I can't help with that…"

"Would I resign my job?"

"Why suddenly? Is this because of your seasickness? That's why I stopped staying on cruise ships, staying on land."

"No… I came here specifically to exact revenge and I did it well. I want to discover what my real capabilities are and I have a long way to go. Plenty of time is still left. After this issue, would you accept my resignation?"

Anderson sighed, "Yes… you still have a lot of time. Yes, I will accept your resignation."

"After that, too, I will continue to be your best friend. No matter where I go, that will never change."

Anderson smiling at him, friendly manner. He once again glanced outside and said, "Everyone has left. Come."

He hands the wireless air pods to Rang, "Lee will deliver the instruction. Be cautious." As he said, they went their separate ways.

Aera gazing at the gown that was in the bed, she take off the locket and flung it on the floor.

"Ma'am, this way," A worker girl directs the way to the dining room.

When she approached the dining area and just saw her father, she yelled, "Dad…!"

Lucas urged Aera to sit down in the chair by pressing her shoulder, "Sit Aera."

Three of them were seated in a triangle arrangement at the round dinner table.

Lee instructs, "Ander, guards are guarding around every corner."

"Yes." Anderson strikes one of the guards and alters his attire. "How do I access the house?"

"I provided you a photo of Lucas's assistant, he is the one who can easily access the house. Find him soon."

Rang enters the forested area behind the house by running covertly while discreetly attacking guards. He asked via phone, "Han-na when will you reach here?"

"At 10.00 pm."

"Okay."

Han-na is on the phone, so Shin feels reluctant to approach him. Jenny asked, "Why Shin, do you want to speak to your brother?" as she caught his attention.

"No… I want water."

"Help yourself."

Shin with an unpleasant face, moved the place.

Aera turned to face her father. Lucas demanded in a furious tone, "Why Aera, don't you have an appetite? Eat the food."

Aera silently devouring the food. He enquired, "How is the food Aera? For you, this dish was made by chefs with expertise."

She shook her head as a sign of yes.

"Lucas… I regret the way my father treated you. So I made the decision to remain here with you…"

Jeson interrupts, "Aera… What are you talking about?"

While devouring the food, Lucas doesn't even glance at them.

Aera replied in a clear voice, "Dad… stop sacrificing yourself for me. You've already done a lot so far. It's my turn now, and I'm not a sad dad. I was in the right state of mind when I made the conscious decision." She touches the locket on her neck, "I am going to spend my life here with Lucas. Lucas… I am asking you one more time, please leave my father alone. I promise never to leave this island."

Kim, the head of the Tiger Club, stepped in and made his way to the dining room.

Lucas with an evil smile, clapping, "I am flattered by your wonderful speech." He walked up to her and stared intently into her eyes, saying, "Your eyes are not lying any longer; it is so sincere. How did that happen?"

Aera gave him a fearless, bold look. He adds, "You become so fearless. I admire your courage. I'm going to let your father leave since you aren't lying. I am a little bit of a good person and I too have some emotions too. So I do as you say."

Kim dreadfully addressed Lucas as, "Sir."

The fork was taken by Lucas, who then approached Jeson, "Get ready, Jeson; you're leaving tomorrow morning. But I have some grudges towards you. If I let you in empty-handed, I'll feel awful about it…"

Jeson shouted in agony as the fork was violently thrust into his wrist by Lucas.

"Dad…!"

Kim glaring at him, "This punk…" Again he addressed him as "Sir."

Lucas reached Kim in rage and positioned the fork on her neck. "Do you want to die?"

"Come me with me… This is about Anderson." With him, Lucas moved the place.

Anderson located the man who serves as Lucas's assistant. He walked right up to him.

"Anderson…!" He uses the walkie-talkie to try to notify the guards. Because of Anderson's head bang, the assistant passed out.

After some while, the assistant woke up. "Help me get inside the house," said Anderson, who is seated close by.

"Why should I assist you? Even if you kill me, I won't tell you anything."

"Then die." The gun was placed in his mouth by him. "Could I pull the trigger?"

The assistant chuckled, "Do you think I would be frightened about these silly blackmails?"

In the toilet, Rang approached him, "Ander… I cleared the way out… But the guards will be aware soon enough. We can't resist alone the countless guards. What should we do?"

The assistant made fun of them. Anderson suddenly shot the assistant out of rage. Rang asked, "Are you insane? Why did you kill him? Without him, how could we enter the home?"

"I am going to do it on my way."

"What? Going to kill everybody who stands in your way."

"Get your head on straight, Ander. Aera still in Lucas's possession." Two guards enter the bathroom as they are talking.

Inside the bathroom, Anderson, Rang, and the deceased assistant were hiding. They were overhearing their conversation.

A first man said, "Hey… You and Lily did what? Whoa...!"

The other man blushed, "Stop it…"

"How did you spend the night with her? Because nobody could get into the house."

"There is a secret way inside the house, where Lucas's women were staying."

Anderson and Rang are stunningly eyeing one another.

Aera is tending to her father's injuries in the garden area, while her father gave her a kind look. "Are you okay, dad?"

"Yes. Do you love Anderson that much?"

Aera is silently focusing in a different direction. Jeson says while holding her hands, "Anderson is a good man. I still regret of abandoned him behind. Since his father wouldn't have died if I hadn't left. And Anderson wouldn't become a Mafia."

"When you were born we were happy; you, me and your mother. Sometimes when I told him about our family, he would remark that he too wanted to live like us. He lost his mother, and her father was preoccupied with business. He desired a tranquil livelihood. But then everything went awry. I am the cause of why both of you are living in such misery."

"No, dad… don't say like that."

He asked lovingly, "When did you start crying again?"

Aera surprisingly looking at her father, "How did you—"

"What about Anderson?" Lucas questioned.

Kim remarked, "He asked me about your place?"

"What?" Lucas came up to him in anger.

"Cool. I didn't say anything. But he would enter your home discreetly."

"I am also waiting for him. If he enter this place, he will leave the island as dead.

Rang asked, "Why did you urge Kim to tell Lucas about you?"

"I don't want to back stab him. I want to compete fairly."

Lee on the call line, "Hey… You want a fair fight with a bastard like him, Ander? That is absolutely ridiculous."

Anderson restored, "You are the one who taught me to fair fight utilizing legal laws. You become a cop because of that, right? Fair punishment…"

"Hey… You're making me confused.… You two entered the house?"

"Yes."

"I am aware that you stopped sobbing following Jin-won's passing. I also went to his funeral ceremony. I am also quite familiar with your buddies. Jenny, Bo-ra and Shin…, you are covering his expenses, right? Then Eugene, who is giving you a lot of trouble."

"Dad…!"

"I am well familiar with you, Aera. You cried when Lucas stabbed me, and now there is relief."

"Look at the sky, Aera; it is vast and without bounds, just like our minds. And our thoughts are like clouds in the sky; there are numerous clouds (thoughts) and constantly changing; sometimes appearing as an elephant after a short while, it would appearing as a dog, cat, or other creatures... It never remains still; it always changes, much like our thoughts do...."

"Your mother and I are too like that clouds Aera. We change and move like clouds, but never leave the skies (you)... we stay here in your heart."

"Dad, I am sorry for—" a thug called as he approached them, "Come with us."

"Dad…!"

"It's okay, Aera. I will be fine. I am sure, Anderson will definitely come here at any time, don't give any thought, and just leave with him. I will protect myself." As he said, he went with the thug.

Aera was dejectedly observing the clouds.

Daniel's boat reached the island. Han-na gets out of the ship, "Jenny stay with Shin."

"Yes."

Han-na take few steps into the forest. Shin suddenly yelled, "Return alive."

Han-na grinned without even turning to face him.

Lucas is sipping while reflecting on Kim's remarks and conduct. He finished his drink and exclaimed, "Kim…" laughed wildly. "He is also playing with me."

Lucas quickly left the room.

Aera returned to her room while a hand pulled her, "Don't scream…, Aera."

"Jimin..!" she hugged him.

"How did you two get here?"

"We will explain this later." He handed her the Bluetooth device, "Lee will instruct the way out. You go first, Han-na is waiting on the other side."

"You two…?"

Rang said, "Rescue your father."

"How did you know about my father? You've already that my father didn't leave the country?"

"I am sorry Aera… first you go, I will get your father. Leave right now."

Aera begins to run rapidly.
