Yo-Han's office.
"Young Master Han, you sent for me." Seuk-chln, following Yo-Han's gesture sat on the sofa which is right in front of the coffee table opposite Yo-Han.
Yo-han unfolded his hands, leaned in and poured himself a cup of tea from the little teapot that sat at the middle of the coffee table. He took a sip of the tea, nodded his head at the sweet taste then focused on Seuk-Chin. " Seuk-Chin, I have been busy lately that I haven't had time to listen to what happened in Country J in details, and also, I guess old Wang had information this time."
"Yes, Young Master, aside the Sheng group's rebellion, there is no major problem in country J, also sources from country J are having a hard time digging into matters concerning Mr Park Mit-Eum. The culprits sure did a good job of burying the incident, We are still keeping tabs on the Ong family's secret startups in country J. The woman still has connections even in prison. What do we do about that?"
Yo-han scoffed at the mention of the Ong family. "Just keep watching them, don't disturb them but you can help the police stop them whenever they go overboard."
"Yes Master"
"Again, you said something the other time that sometimes the most difficult enemy to fight, is the one that has lived as long as you have. That was when Dan-bi was kidnapped, but it ended up that it was Seung-Heon who kidnapped her, although he is hiding behind the Kim family, do you thing Dae-Woong saw that coming, did he know that Seung-Heon was planning something?." Yo-han questioned, he just wanted to know why for the first time, Dae-Woong's advice came in handy. Yeah it did, Seung-Heon and Yo-han had known each other for long and their enmity is as old as the day they set eyes on each other.
He was also concerned about Seung-Heon's future advances. He wanted to stop Seung-Heon but he can't, because the evil guy is always hiding behind facades to lunch attacks, take the issue with the Baek and Yoon families, and Dan-bi's abduction for example.
"Master Han, I can only say that the information was to make us focus on the right culprit, if you didn't for some reason suspect Seung-Heon, we would still be looking for lady Choi and we might never think of Seung-Heon. I guess Old Wang only wanted to tell you to look before you leap, that doesn't mean he had a fore knowledge, it's completely coincident."
"You think so?"
"Yes... He also said one more thing. He said that its time for you to face the Kim family but never forget that you are fighting KimJin." Seuk-Chin's report sent Yo-han into decrypting mode. He was trying to understand what he meant plus why Wang Dae-Woong was speaking in parables.
"Master Han, At first I was also confused but when I looked into the Kim families background, I understood what he was saying straight up."
"And what's that?" Yo-han asked.
"Do you know why it's KimJin?, Historically, the Kim family has an inseparable relationship with the Jin family. The Jin family is not popular because they are just a puppet that the Kim family controls even though it's rumoured that they both own the Kim empire. Well from the name it sounds true but the Kim family has been administrating and no one knows about the Jin family. I guess what old Wang intended to say is that we have to prepare for both families instead of just the Kim family if we don't want to fail."
Comprehension dawned on Yo-han and he placed the tea cup in his hand back to the table. He became silent for a long time, thinking about how useful, Wang Dae-Woong's advise is. It was truly useful. Who would have thought that the Kim family has a backup force, what would have happened if he just rushed into fighting like that, wouldn't he be crushed like the families he had defeated?
This information made him realise how much he had underestimated the Kim family. He realised that he needed to do more work in other to defeat the Kim family. Here he thought he was prepared enough to defeat the Kim family meanwhile, he had another opponent in the background.
"Bring me the file containing everything about the Kim and Jin family."
"Why are you like that?" Yo-Han met with Seuk-Chin's gloomy expression, one that expressed his appeal to Yohan. Why he felt down all of sudden surprised Yo-han. Did he ask for too much?, He only asked for a file. But even if he asked for something too much, Seuk-Chin will definitely do it. One of the reason why he kept Seuk-Chin, Na-Gil and Mr Seo by his side was because of their hardwork and loyalty, and because of this they earned his favour and trust.
What could be the reason why Seuk-Chin suddenly become, unwilling?.
"Is something wrong?" He asked again.
"No, Young Master, it's just that there is a problem with what you asked for. We already have information about the Kim family but the Jin family seems to be off the map, they don't seem to exist, I discovered this when I was looking into Old Wang's warning. In short, the Jin family is a mystery" Seuk-Chin explained.
"Is that so?, Don't worry, I know what to do then."

"Boss which of the missions are we going for right now, are we exonerating Choi Mu-Young or fighting the Kim family?." Na-Gil asked Yo-han as they were close to the first floor, in the private elevator.
"We ain't going no where together, I am going to hang out with Kim Myung-Hee but before that I will have lunch with my girlfriend, take care of the company and try to find love." Yo-han replied and immediately stepped out of the elevator.
Na-Gil almost ran after Yo-Han to give him a nice beating for teasing him like that. He managed to control himself and suppress his anger towards Yo-Han's mean behavior.
'Is he bragging about his girlfriend now?, Ehn, you are just lucky to have a girlfriend, stop making people jealous!!!' Na-Gil shouted but the sounds did not escape his lips, it only echoed in his brain.
It wasn't his fault that he didn't want to find love, he just wanted to wait for his crush to come to her senses.

Yo-han arrived at the local hotpot joint, where he is supposed to meet Kim Myung-Hee. He entered into the cafeteria and without searching, his eyes glued on Myung-Hee where she sat, eating her hotpot in public without a care of her status and position.
One of the things he liked about Myung-Hee is how ordinary she is. She doesn't care about status nor does she care if she is an heiress of a big conglomerate or not. Though she is spoilt, it's only her rude attitude that people complain about. Of all the fancy restaurant she could have gone, she choose a local joint, not that he had an issue with that he just didn't know she was so humane to this extent.
She raised her head and saw him approaching and waved him over while he strode leisurely to her booth.
"Here have some" she pushed some dishes to him but he rejected since he was full.
"Why, why are you not eating? Have this..." she persisted but still Yo-han rejected. "What excuse do you have, you think this place is not classy enough?" Myung-Hee eyed him angrily for rejecting her kind offer, she was just happy today and offered him her food out of generosity which is rare but he rejected it.
"No, I am sorry but am full, I had lunch with my girlfriend already." He said and quieten her from babbling any further. It seems being in a relationship is a very good thing, first he could tease others and get away with it, second he could reject whatever it his he doesn't want. Just saying he had lunch with the girlfriend quieted Myung-Hee down.
"Hey, you are too fierce and that stings so much, can't a single girl have her lunch without heart pain?.... Ehn, how is Chang-min doing?" Her complaining figure transitioned to an energised one, brimming with a glowing smile as she expected good news.
"What about Won-Shik and Ji-hun, won't you ask after them?" Yo-han asked, knowing fully well that she only cared about Chang-min, the coolest of the three.
She rolled her eyes at him while gulping down a bowl of soup, coughed a little and after drinking a cup of water she lashed out words at him. "Why?, I heard that Chang-min is staying with you, so you will definitely know if his condition is improving, I mean the post traumatic disorder, can't I ask after a sick man again?!!."
"Myung-hee, It's okay to say you like him, I think he feels the same way too."
"Stop kidding, if he did like me, then he would have done what every man does, he is just too naive." She said before continuing her meal.
Yo-han leaned closer to Myung-hee, cleared his throat and said " The reason why I came here today is not to have hotpot but to talk about a serious issue. Kim Myung-Hee, you might be aware that I am the CEO of Min Corporation and that KimJin and I are having a joint project soon so I know somethings about KimJin. I heard that you only have 2% shares in the company but your two brothers have in compilation about 15 times much more than yours isn't that too bad?, that's too bad, it's not even enough to assure you some power in KimJin in the future, are you not an heiress, you deserve more than that and I can help you if you follow my lead." He took out a folded sheet of paper from his chest pocket and passed it to Myung-Hee.
"What is this?, What do you want me to do?" She asked with a completely serious tone, it's as if Yo-han had hypnotized her to be very obedient and cooperative.
Yo-han paused for a while to think of which words to use to find out what he wanted to know, he needed information about the Jin family and he needed to know if he could trust her so he thought of a question that will give him all of the answers to those other questions.
"Firstly, are you Kim Myung-Hee or Jin Myung-Hee?"
