A little clue of the past.

Choi family house became more lively, it was as if Yo-Han's words were that of the Messiah, and it ease off the worries they had, not completely though but they could at least put their belief in his words, except for Choi Mu-Young who still thinks he shouldn't trust Yo-han completely. Other than him, everyone else could rely on Yo-han especially Min-Ji. If it was the man Dan-bi had always told her about, she knew she could trust him with Dan-Bi , unknown to her that the two are not on good terms at the moment.

Feeling a little bit relieved, she sat quietly in her room thinking about the past and everything she could remember.

***

Everywhere was dark, she thought she had lost her sight but she realised that she was blindfolded. She tried to remove the blindfold but the restraint pulled back her hands that where cuffed to the chair.

Now that she can't move her hands, she kicked her legs in all directions to feel what was in her way. *Ouch* she whined in pain when her feet forcefully hit the foot of the table in front of her which startled the man resting his head on the table. He yawned and stretched his body giving of a signal that he had just woke up from his nap.

She continued hitting the table to gain the man's attention. "Hey, stop that or should I tie your legs also, you b*tch" The man yelled at her making her stop her actions.

The man hissed at her as he went to the door, and he was about to exit, the door opened to reveal two men standing in front of it. One of them was a very tall man in his late twenties and he had a very flashy and expensive suit on, the perfect diamonds arrangements on his wrist watch spoke about the worth itself, he was very handsome and his skins, very smooth and frictionless. His hairs were silky and well dressed in a curly manner towards the backwards direction. His cold blue eyes were not inviting at all and the way he walked into the room, hands in his pockets, slow steps, one at a time, and the gentle sway of his body tells a lot about his status. He surely was someone well respected.

The other man was just simple, though he had a designer suit, it's value is obviously a few million less than that of the first young man and his accessories weren't so expensive also, he looked much older, fatter and much more shorter than the first man, in short he was plump.

The two men walked into the room without regarding the bodyguard that was just leaving who turned back in as he saw them.

"Uncle, have a seat." Kim Hyun-Jun, the tall man offered the only seat in front of the captive and the plump man sat comfortably with his legs crossed.

"Take away the blindfold" Kim Hyun-Jun ordered the bodyguard who hurriedly did as he was told, fidgeting as he did.

Min-Ji shook her head to the side, covering her eyes with her shoulder as she finally was allowed to see the light which almost blinded her.

"Min-Ji, I am not going to harm you, just wait till he finally submits himself, then you will be free." Hyun-Jun said. The way he said it was as if he didn't have her confined to the chair and that she can move freely as she want.

Min-Ji slowly raised her face and looked the man in the face, anger was evident in the way she looked at him, almost piercing daggers at his skin. "How dare you? How dare you do this?.." her tone wasn't so loud but the reverberation sent chills down the spine of the cowardly bodyguard.

"Young miss, just as my nephew said, just convince him and you will be back to him as soon as you succeed in convincing him." The plump man said.

Min-Ji's brow creased as if she didn't understand what the plump man just said. "Which of them do you want me to convince, because I don't even understand why you are after the two most important men in my life, why can't you just let us be." She broke into sobs at the middle of her sentence. Her formally angry tone had turned into sobs.

Hyun-Jun looked at the plump man with a surprised expression, he wanted to ask a question but he couldn't as the man replied Min-Ji almost immediately.

"Just Mu-Young, we had a deal and he is yet to play his part of the deal, you don't have to worry about the other man just take care of Mu-Young. " The plump man replied and signaled to the bodyguard who quickly brought out the satellite telephone and put a call through to a number that Min-Ji recognizes so much.

About a short time, a voice came from the other end of the line. " Who is this?" Mu-Young's angry voice rang from the other line.

"Choi Mu-Young, I am well aware that you have been searching for your lost daughter, search no more, she is in safe hands" The plump man said calmly.

"Who is this, how did you know about my daughter, how come you have her..." His formerly angry voice was now trembling when he heard about his daughter.

"Dad!!!, I am here, please do whatever they want you to do, I may not safe..." Min-Ji shouted but the guard was swift enough to cover he mouth.

"Don't do anything to her, Beom-Seok don't you hurt my daughter," he paused for a while, he sighed and exhaled heavily that it was heard from this side, before he said, "what do you want?"

"Mu-Young, you know what I want, that's the only way I will stop, I want it done before 5pm tomorrow, get your daughter at Su inn after that." The man called Beom-Seok said and cut off the connection. He immediately faced Min-Ji, " You seem to be the favourite, Mu-Young is quite easy to deal with. You are free to go once he settles his part of the deal."

Min-Ji gritted her teeth in anger and watch the plump man as he left the room.

Kim Hyun-Jun was left in the room with Min-Ji and he had a pitiful look for a split second but Min-Ji caught hold of it before his signature stern face. He cleared his throat and said, "Min-Ji, I hope you forgive me after this. " He said and also exited the room.

She remembered clearly how much she cried when she was captive under the Kim family. If their is one thing that she regretted that would be giving the Kim family a chance to use her back then.

She was still deep in her thoughts when an old wrinkled hand rested on her shoulder.

"My daughter, what's on your mind?" Min-Ji gasped and turned suddenly to see her Nana behind her.

"You don't have to worry, he will bring Dan-bi back safely, I trust him." Nana said and turned around to walk out of the room.

"Nana, how did you know, did Sun-Jung tell you that, that loudmouth..." Min-Ji was shocked that the old woman knew about the situation which they hid from her. She was surprised that the woman was more composed than everyone of them even with that news.

"Do you all think you can hide anything from me in this house?, Besides do you think I don't know who that young man is?" She hissed and slowly, with the aid of her walking stick, the old woman step out of the living room over to the garden.

Min-Ji watch as the old woman looked up to the sky with a smile forming on her wrinkled face. Looking at the smile on the old woman's face when she should be worried about her favorite granddaughter instead, Min-Ji wondered what made her happy, perhaps she can see a happy future ahead.
