chapter five

Ban Im Sung had no authority on Jihye and Na Young like the other students, and the reason for that is because of Seol ji hye's powerful family background and of course Yoo Na Young popularity.

As the daughter of a member of the school board of directors and the school's best singer best friend, this made Im Sung feel jealous to the extreme every second she saw jihye.

"Get in the car Ms seol" In the eyes of everyone present Lee Yiwon helped Jihye open the car door like a gentleman as he looked at her with a polite gaze.

"He is so charismatic. Look at the way he opened the door for her like her boyfriend"

"Did you think the dectective suspect our school of Na Young attempted murder"

"Yeah, I'm really envious of her. How I wish a handsome detective could open the door for me like that"

"I hope the person who caused her accident is caught, whether the person is here at our school or not"

Im Sung listened to the other students' discussion, with the jealous and hatred in her vein surging through her like a stormy sea.

Angrily she deliberately shouted. "Why would they come to our school? It's not like her accident took place here!"

Jihye was about to get into the open car then she paused when she heard Im Sung's words. Even Lee Yiwon's eyes had darkened, wondering who the spoiled brat was?.

"What the hell are you talking about Im Sung?. Are you okay?." Mr Ban du Hong rebukes his daughter.

Mrs Cheon recognized Im Sung as Mr Banduong's daughter but she still couldn't not afford to offend the detective and the Seol family. She immediately took action against Mr Ban du hong. "Is this your daughter that you are pressing me to appoint as the students council president"

Jihye smells an opportunity to pay the father and daughter back for the trouble they have caused her and her friend. She promptly added fuel to the fire. "Mrs. Cheon, the behavior of a particular student could affect the entire school image. Next time you are given opinion on the position of students council president, please do your verification well or else you might appoint the school bully as the leader"

Mr Ban du Hong didn't expect Jihye to mention his daughter's bullying case to the director. Right now he felt a burning sensation on his face because of the humiliation.

When he heard Yoo Na Young's accident and the possibility of her being in a coma. He had opined the director to appoint his daughter as the students council president since the student occupying the position is in a grave condition.

Hearing the school bully case in Seoul Art High school and thinking of how many students might had died because of that same bully and the fact that a teacher was aware of it but didn't take take a correction against the bully because of his own selfishness. Lee Yiwon glance at Mrs cheon and said in an icy voice. "You know what to do, Mrs cheon"

Thinking back to how he had helped his daughter look for trouble with Yoo Na Young and Seol jihye all these days. Mr Ban du Hong's face turned pale immediately as the image of what was coming next hovered in his mind.

Mrs Cheon instantly obey Lee Yiwon's words and scolded her teacher. "Shame on you Mr Ban du hong, you don't deserve to be a teacher" she then turned to Lee Yiwon and said politely. "I will fire him immediately, Sir"

Mr Ban du hong was dumbfounded, so was Ban Im Sung, realizing that her father had lost his job and the position of the students council president that she hadn't started had ended without even for a day to hold the position.

"Let's go Ms Seol" Lee Yiwon pulls back his gaze from Mrs Cheon to Jihye and his frosty expression dissolves into a smile.

At first Jihye just wanted to stir the pot a little to scare them, not expecting Lee Yiwon to stand up for her. She now felt contended that nemesis had caught up with her and her friend's enemy.

It felt good to be able to witness your enemy downfall.

"Okay" jihye got in the car together with Lee Yiwon in the passenger and driver seat respectively. He ignited the engine and the car drove away together with the police van behind them. 

Everybody looked at the car in surprise and stunned at the unquestionably authority the detective had displayed.

The car drove on for minutes before they finally arrived at Yoo Na Young house.

"Here we are. We have arrived, ``Jihye pointed toward Yoo Na Young's parents house through the window.

Given how Yoo Na Young got ridiculed and taunted at school for her poor family background one would have thought that she was an extremely poor girl living in an abandoned building.

But judging by the manor and the massive mansion that no ordinary people could afford and with the rich aura emanating from the enormous building, even a blind man would know they are super rich.

Just that Na Young parents wealth isn't anywhere compared to the other kid parents that are in the same grade with her. She is below their category in money and Na Young reality provides evidence to the rumour going around that only kids whose parents are filthy rich are attending Seoul Art High school.

Lee Yiwon, Jihye and the officers driving the police van, all alighted at the same time and headed for the main entrance.

Pressing the button at the doorposts the bell rang and in a few seconds a man showed up at the door. Recognizing Jihye immediately, he introduced himself as the family butler

He guides them as they walk past the oil painting gallery by the door, all the way down to the long hallway decorated with different painting galleries.

It was like the family is a lover of paint galleries.

And they finally came to a huge living room where there were two people.

A couple dressed austerely was sitting on the sofa. Lee Yiwon immediately recognized them as the victim's parents he had met the previous day.

"Aunty, uncle, Good morning" 

As soon as Jihye voice trails off Yoo Bong Pal and Shin Sulan saw the detective they had met the other day walking beside Jihye.

The moment Shin Sulan saw Lee Yiwon she got up, her eyes welled up instantly and she inquired. "Is my daughter out of coma!"

The thought of Shin Sulan is that her daughter must be out of coma after seeing Lee Yiwon at their house. Since he is the detective in charge of Yoo Na Young, the doctor may have called him and let him know the news, so Lee Yiwon must have come to let them know that.

Lee Yiwon also understands the woman, so when Shin Sulan reacts motherly earlier, he isn't surprised but merely shakes his head in response.

"Oh, my poor baby" Shin Sulan chokes up and places a hand on her chest, dropping toward the floor. "Please come back to mom" 

Yoo Bongpal noticed his wife slipping down, instantly grabbed her on her shoulder, supporting her weight on his chest and patted her back soothingly.

Tears brimmed up in Jihye's eyes but she didn't allow them to fall. This wasn't what they came here for, she can't allow her emotion to get the best of her. Her crying now will only increase the pain of the couple.

"Aunty, let him sit down first. We have come all the way here from school to find something" Jihye said thoughtfully.

Seeing the family choking up, a hint of pain flashed in the eyes of Lee Yiwon, but he quickly put on a faint smile. "Yes Ms Seol Jihye is right. We've come for something important that might help us with your daughter investigation"

Hearing Lee Yiwon's words, Yoo Bongpal sat his wife down and said "Right, we are sorry for the delay, please sit down" He gestured toward the sofa.

Lee Yiwon noded and together with others they scurried toward the available sofa, a few inches away from the couple and took their seats.

Noticing Shin Sulan grewing weak Yoo Bongpal carefully rest her back on the head of the sofa before giving his attention to Lee Yiwon

"What can we help you with?" Yoo Bongpal questioned and Lee Yiwon looked at Jihye, who nodded her head at him to go ahead. "Tell us we will help with anything"

Clearing his voice, Lee Yiwon began;

"I went to Seoul Art High school this morning to find some information that might help us with our investigation from your daughter friend Ms Seol Jihye and from her I learnt a very serious case regarding your daughter"

Yoo Bongpal gave a slight nod, urging him to continue.

"Your daughter had been receiving a death threat note from an unidentified person for the past two years now according to Ms Seol"

Shin Sulan who was merely sitting coolly on the sofa stirred up at Lee Yiwon word. Her mouth hung open, her eyes growing wide as her back strayed off from the sofa and whipped to his direction and her eyes landed on Lee Yiwon who was talking away non-stop. 

Holding his wife who was on the verge of falling from the sofa, Yoo Bongpal breathing dropped to his stomach. 

This had never crossed his mind when he gave him the consent to talk. His own daughter was being threatened for the past two years and he didn't have any idea about it. He found it so hard to believe knowing how close he was with Na Young, and knowing she will never hide anything from him.

His thoughts were interrupted by Lee Yiwon's next words.

"We've come to get those threat note from her room which we supposed is the place she kept them"
