"Hello," said the man dressed in long-sleeved batik very neatly; he greeted Karin so friendly.
"Older brother?" Karin exclaimed softly; she couldn't believe that the person who met her and confronted her was this good man again.
"My name is Lee Jungho; as I said before that we will meet again, Miss." Jungho introduced himself politely and friendly, and he even extended his hand as a formality to accept his introduction to the girl in front of him.
"Choi Karin, I'm glad you met me and came here. But what's going on? I didn't make a mistake. I didn't make any reports about your Master either," said Karin, who explained with her innocent face.
Jungho laughed softly, looking at Karin, speculating on her own. "No, I just wanted to talk to you for a bit, okay?" Jungho groaned.
Karin's brows furrowed in confusion. "About what, Brother?" Karin asked curiously.
"Come with me to the car, Miss. Because we can't talk in public like this." Jungho told Karin to follow him because Karin felt Jungho was better and less scary, so Karin wanted to follow him.
Jungho opened the car for Karin, and the vehicle was so luxurious it made Karin chuckle in awe. Then Jungho also turned around and sat in the driver's seat.
Being next to Jungho like this made Karin's heart insecure. Especially when Jungho makes a smile that can shake the soul, "Where do you want to take me?" Karin asked again.
"Turning around here chatting with you, Miss," Jungho said while driving his car at a moderate speed. While Karin heard the answer from Jungho, he could only wait for his explanation again.
"I want to ask you directly, are you in trouble?" Jungho said again.
Karin tried to digest Jungho's words before answering. Seeing that Karin didn't answer, Jungho smiled again. "Ah, I must have confused you. Tell you what, I'm surprised that you study at SNU, but why don't you continue and instead decide to work? Well, if you're in trouble, maybe I can help," Jungho explained, making Karin's eyes widen in disbelief.
"How did you know?" Karin said as she looked directly at Jungho.
"Young Master told me to find out about you, sorry. I didn't mean to be curious and interfere with many things in your life, but suddenly I am curious about you who decided to leave campus."
"Seriously, you're curious? Isn't your Master curious?"
"Is there anything wrong if young master and I are curious?"
Karin immediately positioned her seat to face the front again. Jungho was confused, but Karin never told anyone about her problems.
"Believe me; I don't have any bad intentions towards you. I'm the curious one," Jungho added.
Karin was contemplating, should she tell this handsome man? Ah, Karin wasn't so sure; because he was afraid of his Master. "If that night I saw your master kill someone, was he a murderer?"
Instead of answering Jungho's question, Karin asked back.
"His name is Kim Seojun. He's kind; he won't kill someone if that person doesn't plan to kill him first."
Karin covered her mouth in disbelief; she thought Seojun was a murderer. But still, Seojun was scary in Karin's eyes. "Sorry, I didn't mean to accuse him of being a murderer either."
Jungho nodded slowly. "It does not matter."
Karin looked ahead. She needed the help of someone who would be kind to her. Wait until when to be able to get that much money? Karin could have let her mother die slowly.
Seeing Karin silent and looking lost, Jungho stopped his car on the side of the road. He watched Karin from the side.
"I decided to work because of Mother." Karin opened her voice.
"Mother?" Jungho muttered under his breath.
"I need a lot of money to cure Mother's lung disease. College can't make me concentrate because right now money is more important, so I decide either my future or Mom's recovery." Karin smiled as she looked at Jungho; finally, she never shared it with anyone after a long time. Jungho was the first to know about this.
"So you want to help me, Brother?" Karin asked again because Jungho still looked surprised.
Seeing Jungho blinking slowly, he nodded curtly.
"Oh?" Karin's eyes lit up; she suddenly grabbed Jungho's arm.
Seeing Karin's hand on his arm, Jungho cleared his throat softly.
"I'd be too happy if you helped me." Karin immediately realized and looked embarrassed when she pulled her hand away from Jungho's arm.
"What kind of help do you need?" Jungho asked at last.
Karin immediately looked back at Jungho. He was aware of one thing, and help would not come for free; if he wanted to blackmail them, he could do so by threatening that he would report the murder that night and ask to with his mother's cure. But Karin didn't want to do that. I don't want to take advantage of the situation.
"I want to work anything, as long as the pay can be big and make me rich, how about it? Do you have a job for me, Brother? Or maybe you can give me money to heal Mom first, and then I will pay my debt by working until I gave mom's fees initially. I can pay it off on my own."
'This girl is very hopeful and has great tenacity. But what can I do? Give him a job? Only Seojun can help him, and it seems I have to tell Seojun about this immediately. Who knows his little heart can help this girl,' Jungho thought.
"How about you ask the Kim Group company for a job, Miss? I work there under the leadership of Kim Seojun as his assistant. He's a good person. You can ask him for a job if you want," Jungho said.
"Uhm, I'm scared ..." Karin squeaked while grinning a little.
"It's me, and I've worked with him for quite some time. The proof is I not killed, right?" Jungho tried to reassure Karin with his profound gaze. "If you want, I will say it first, and you can come here tomorrow; how about it?" Jungho exclaimed while handing Kim Seojun's business card and Kim Group's address.
"If you come tomorrow, and Seojun wants to help you, then I'll take you to his room. But if he can't help you, I'll assist using my own money as an apology for not being able to help you too, but only a hundred million, how about that?" Jungho explained after Karin received Kim Group's business card.
'Really? It's a great offer, crazy!' Karin thought as she widened her eyes while looking at Jungho in disbelief.
***
After hearing all the explanations from Karin, Jungho went straight to Seojun's workspace and said everything. Of course, Seojun was surprised, not because of Jungho's story. "So you went to him in person and interviewed him in person?" a question that has the same meaning as this, made Jungho blink innocently. He didn't understand why Seojun asked something else, which clearly he had said everything honestly.
"Yes, because asking the person will not get fake news, Seojun."
"Aish! Why don't you ask my permission first, hm?" Seojun looks annoyed.
Jungho got confused himself. "Wasn't it you who told me to find out why he didn't go to college anymore, Seojun?" Jungho asked.
Seojun, who realized his strange attitude, then cleared his throat slowly. He looked back at Jungho flatly. "Forget it," he said flatly.
"So how? You want to help him?"
"Of course, tomorrow send him to my workspace."
Jungho smiled; happily, he was sure that Seojun was a good person. In the end, Jungho left Seojun's room because he had to work in his room next to Seojun's room. Besides being the man's assistant, Jungho is also Seojun's secretary. He is even Seojun's confidant.
After Jungho left, Seojun immediately opened Microsoft word to write some statements that he had to prepare now before the time came.
