To her surprise, Jun waited for her. He stood still near the door while drinking coffee from his tumbler. Coffee that she prepared exactly for 250ml, black without anything. She thought to herself that she would never forget such ridiculous request for a cup of coffee. Sipping his coffee leisurely, Jun noticed Ji An presence and with his head, asked her to go inside together with him.

Once they were inside, the onsite staff started to greet each of them with smile. Especially female staff towards Jun. It was such a view to see how women could change their expression within seconds. One moment they greeted Jun with smile and one moment they greeted her normally, as normal as hi and bye between strangers. The crew was preparing the set and it looked so beautiful and dreamy, like her dream house. She deliberately paused and stared with dreamy eyes on the planned concept. The house had a big glass windows, letting the natural sunlight to provide lights surrounding the living room. There was one reading chair near the window with neat book shelves behind it. On the armrest of the soft reading chair, they even put checkered blanket to cover the legs during cold weather. She nodded approvingly towards even the smallest detail that the crew had provided. 'Really, money can do everything. It must be expensive.' Just beside the reading chair, they were L-shaped comfortable sofa with light grey color and small wooden coffee table in front of it. It was a perfect space to have a chat with your loved ones, shared everything while eating fruits and watching TV.

Jun, not caring on the lovely setting, went to look for the PD in charge. He would like to discuss early on how he should act and what kind of concept the marketing team would like him to portray. The PD in charge of course delighted to see such top star put a lot of attention for advertisement. He happily showed him the proposed concept of a single man living in the house. Immediately understand what the staff requested, the discussion ended quickly and the next in line would be make up and outfit preparation.

It would be a waste of time to look for Ji An, so Jun decided to just send a message to her.

[Jun: Monkey, I will do make up and outfit preparation. It should take around 1hour.]

[Ji An: How did you get my number?]

[Jun: When there is a will, there is a way] Jun actually get her number when she lost her phone. Since he managed to successfully break her password and had intended for her all along to be his manager, he went one step ahead to get her phone number. It sounded right and logical at that point of time.

[Ji An: Pervertttt !!!!!!!!] Putting all her effort to write all the exclamation mark, Ji An felt slightly relieved. Thank goodness that phone nowadays was using touchscreen. If it was the old phone with button, Ji An believed she had screwed the button and had additional cost fork out to repair her own phone.

Since she had one additional hour to spend, she decided to walk around the area. Anyway, it was a waste to not enjoy the scenery around. Just not too far from the house, there was a lake surrounding by beautiful trees, like a small forest. The air was fresh and slightly chilly in the morning, however that exactly what she needed now. Morning chill would be good to chase away her sleepiness.

Getting closer with every minutes passed, she could finally see the wooden deck in the middle of the lake. Small boat was tied into it and she also could see a few ducks swam around the area. The whole picture was so picturesque, just like a postcard and gave her a sense of peace. There was a small road extended from the small forest towards the wooden deck, big enough for car to pass through. 'This might be a good place for picnic'. She was thinking if her father were still alive, they could visit this place and had a fishing trip with bbq dinner while watching the stars spread all over the sky.

While she was deep in thought and her eyes unconsciously following the path coming from the forest, she noticed there was black sedan slightly hidden by the shadow. The black sedan looked familiar, she thought to herself and she walked faster and closer but not forgetting to keep herself hidden.

Her reporter instinct kept telling her that she knew the owner of this car, although there were thousands of black sedan all over Seoul but she didn't know why she was so attracted to this car. She crouched slowly and tried not to make any distinguishable sound and hid near the bushes. She peeked through the bushes and immediately recognized the car plate number. 'Daebak, it is Congressman Park!' [A/N: Daebak means Jackpot]

Excitement and anticipation filled her heart. It was really unfortunate she didn't bring her camera over, but she had her phone. She forked her phone out from her pocket and took initial shoot of Congressman Park's car. She was thinking Congressman Park would try to hide something if he was seeing someone in this kind of secretive and hidden place, and it might be his mistress. After taking a few initial shots, she stayed hidden and waited for her chance.

A few minutes later, another car was approaching close. The driver of Congressman Park immediately went down and opened the back seat letting Congressman Park alighting to meet his guest. Ji An swiftly took another shots of Congressman Park with the car plate and the driver. It was conclusive to show that the black sedan belongs to Congressman Park. The other approaching car stopped and another guy, unknown to Ji An also went down and both of them met in the center, shaking hand with each other.

The other guy held a silver briefcase and handcuffed it to his hand. Looking at the protection the other guy had, it must be very important item. So Ji An zoomed in with her phone to take picture of the guy and also another picture of the briefcase. Just before she completed the whole photo, her alarm suddenly rang reminding her the one hour break from Jun almost ended. The sound was blasting. She managed to turn it off but the deeds was done. Congressman Park and the other guy signaled both of their henchmen to find the source of silence and both of them went separately towards the car and left the premise immediately.

Both of the henchmen took out a gun from their inner coat and walked very slowly towards Ji An direction. Stunned and didn't expect to see a gun out of nowhere, Ji An realized the danger was near. She slowly backed out from her hiding place, tried to make as little noise as possible but suddenly her feet accidentally broke a branch.

"Krak!!!" Both henchmen immediately pinpointed Ji An exact location and increased their speed. Ji An only had one word inside her mind now, RUN! She immediately sprinted to close the distance between the lake and the house, didn't even dare to look behind her. She could feel people chasing for her from behind and she also could feel herself panting. Currently she was totally regretting her laziness to not exercise regularly since she could feel her heart slamming against her small body. It was so painful and hot but her survival instinct forcing her body to keep running and moving forward. She tried to look for a place to hid but there wasn't a lot of options. Noticing slightly bigger tree to hide, Ji An turned her direction towards that tree when suddenly a bullet went passed her and hit the tree. Some of the debris flew towards her and she tried to cover her face and decided to keep running.

'Towards the house, that's the safest place. Run, Ji An!' Repeating the whole sentence like a chant, Ji An kept pushing her legs to run and run.
