Chapter 5

His head hurt a little bit when he woke up the next day, because he drank too much last night during the celebration.

'Shit!!!', he murmured, because he could still smell the perfume of the woman he had in bed last night. He realized he was not able to change the bed cover after he had sex with her because his eyes became droopy and immediately fell asleep when the woman left his room.

He jumped out of bed and walked into his bathroom. He no longer likes the smell clinging to his body so he needs to take a shower.

He closed his eyes as the dripping water touched his skin. He soaped his body thoroughly but all of a sudden, Park So-hee's pretty face flashed in his mind.

As soon as he was done, he went to the closet to look for something to wear. He chose to wear a navy blue T-shirt and black jeans. After he put on his mask, he immediately called one of his men, whom he had given the order to do a background check on Park So-hee.

After a while, the staff came in and handed him a piece of paper, and left afterwards. He immediately read the information stated here and found out that the woman was actually an undercover agent and well-trained in Taekwondo, and an expert in handling different types of guns. But it was not stated what agency the woman was connected to. Well, it didn't matter as long as he already knew her job.

The woman was a black belt instructor who ran a Taekwondo school. The address was not stated, but he would be the one to find out where it was located.

Because of what he found out about the woman he became even more interested in her. He was certain that he really need this kind of person to do the special mission.

And he was hoping this time he would succeed. He had to find a way to get close to Park So-hee so it would be easy for him to convince her to work under the 'Diamond Kkhangpae'.

After deep thinking, he came up with a plan.

He quickly put on his jacket and holstered his gun. He did not also forget his dagger knife and tucked it in his right leg, under his pants. When he was sure he hadn't forgotten anything, he left his room.

"Annyeonghaseyo hyungnim!', Hwangbu greeted him politely.

"I have something important to do today. It would only be me so, you stay here and take care of the villa", he said.

"Ne, hyungnim",  Hwangbu bowed to him. But suddenly, Donghyun approached him gasping his breath.

"Hyungnim, one of the four women who fought with Kang Boram last time did not survive and already lost their lives", 

"You know what you should do Donghyun."

'Ne hyungnim!', the man said and left after giving respect.

The boss continued down the stairs to the first floor and went straight to the dining table. But he was shocked when it was not his personal cook who was preparing his food but Kang Boram.

"Good morning boss!'", Kang Boram greeted him, smiling amorously.

"Where is Adjumma? Why are you here?", he grunted irritably. Even before, he doesn't want anyone to cook for him except his adjumma (term for a middle-aged woman).

"Uhm, I told her, I would be the one to prepare your meals, boss", Boram softly answered.

"And who gave you permission, to do adjumma's work?"

Kang Boram was unable to speak and just bowed her head. 'Sorry boss, I just want to---', she couldn't finish what she wanted to say because he immediately interrupted her.

"You are under my command, Boram. Your sole duty is to follow my order. Therefore, refrain from undertaking tasks that are not your responsibility! Arasseo? (understood)", he voiced out, his tone laced with annoyance. Although devoid of anger, his voice projected a powerful and domineering aura that instilled fear in everyone.

"Yes, boss! It won't happen again, I'm sorry"

"Naga!"(leave), the boss commanded.

Boram immediately obeyed and left in a hurry. 

'Adjumma!!! Adjumma!!!', the boss called his servant.  She had been serving him for a long time so she already knew what foods he preferred to eat and what kind of coffee he preferred to drink.

"Y-yes s-sir!", Adjumma stuttered, as she hurriedly came closer. 

"Do not entrust to others the things that I have entrusted to you. There's no one here, you would have to follow except me. Do you understand?"

'Yes sir, Jaesonghamnida (I'm sorry)", the servant apologized and bowed her head.

"Take this food away from me, and prepare a coffee for me instead!", the boss demanded.

The servant followed his order right away and after a few minutes, the coffee was served.

After drinking, he left with his black car, going to his condo unit. He had to go there for his identity shift.

But while he was on the way, his eyes unexpectedly landed on the woman driving a silver Toyota Corolla and it was Park So-Hee, he held no doubt about it.

He decided to tail her, aiming to gather additional information. After a period of driving, Park So Hee's car came to a halt in front of a particular building. Once he confirmed that it was indeed her Taekwondo School, he promptly departed without lingering any further.

********

Hyeo-ri, also known as Park So-hee, was on her way to the Korean Central Intelligence Agency when she noticed a black car that seemed to be tailing her. Certain that she was being followed, she quickly changed her direction, wary that this could be one of her adversaries spying on her. The memory of the three men she had incapacitated at the bar resurfaced in her mind, prompting her to prepare herself for any potential encounters that may arise.

Instead of going directly to the agency, she made a left turn towards the corner where her Taekwondo school was situated. She preferred to keep her job a secret unless it was necessary to carry out her mission. Glancing at the side mirror of her car, she confirmed that the black car was indeed tailing her. Realizing this, she parked her car and entered the Taekwondo school.

Because it was still eight o'clock, there was no one inside the school yet. The school was scheduled to open at ten o'clock. However, she needed to wait there for a while until the black car left.

Taking a seat on the couch near her desk, Hyeo-ri kept a watchful eye through the glass window. When she noticed that the black car had finally gone, a sense of relief washed over her.

Due to the tinted windows of the car, she was unable to discern who was inside. However, one thing was certain—someone was spying on her, necessitating her utmost caution at all times.
