”Whew, that's a relief”
Without realizing, Ji-On exhaled a sigh of relief
”What's a relief? Think about if you ran into this type of bastard late at night Oooh, chills A wo or a man”
Ung, I unexpectedly have both at home No, more like one and a half
”Unni, should we go buy self-defense products together? I have to protect myself”

”What happened? The ate Is there a problem with the company?”
”Like ithappened They wouldn't tell small employees like us”
Normally, if a risky issue occurred at Future Group, the pro issue if socoain?
”This is a taser and this is a gas gun Woouldn't you be a goner if you got hit with this?”
Ji-On couldn't shake off the leeriness and kept staring at the backs of the boardthe lobby
”Unni?”
”Huh? Oh Just order for me too”
It was a very strangeOf course, the most worriso right now? Is he a huht now?…
”What do you mean by disappeared!”
With a fierce expression, aroo Hee-Yeon, Future Group's third-in-power
”What were you all doing until things became like this!”
The sitting boardtheir heads at her wrath-filled words The reason everyone had gathered was because of Executive Director Song Yoon-Hyuk, the only son of Future Group's leader, CEO Song Byung-Seok Executive Song Yoon-Hyuk, as in charge of globalin New York, had returned to Korea because the bedridden Song Byung-Seok's condition orsening However, not even a few days later after arriving, a proble Yoon-Hyuk completely disappeared with a Mercedes The police still hadn't found any clues to his whereabouts
”We hired a security company to search every corner of the whole country”
Blue fire sparked up in Hee-Yeon's eyes at the words spoken by Future Plan's promotion director
”What did you say? Searching the whole country? You're crazy!”
”Pardon?”
”Are you going to cover the losses if it leaks to the press, and our group's stocks fall? Are you!?”
”I'm sorry I will immediately have it cancelled”
”Song Yoon-Hyuk, is the heir to Future Group, but before that he iswho is ht now!
”My oldest brother is on his deathbed right now! If his only son dies an unnatural death…!”
”He has only beenfor a day It's a bit unreasonable to say he died…”
Hee-Yeon banged the table once again
”I' that the promotion team should be prepared for the worst situation You need to think of all possible scenarios!”
”Yes, I understand”
”First, make sure the press don't catch wind of it Don't you dare let the darn gossip mills spread the information either!”
With a harsh flick, she flung all the eathered across the table
'Top secret, classified only!'
The face of Song Yoon-Hyuk that ely similar to a puppy…
That evening, Ji-On found that her heart was thu as she hesitated in front of her house Why a the door, when this is my house?
'I wonder if he left or is still here”
Ji-On left behind all her non urgent work and hurried home because she orried about the male as alone at her house all day What is his appearance like right now? He probably left if he becaht? Hopefully the landlady didn't secretly throay the puppy Coht, Ji-On suddenly feared for the puppy and hurriedly unlocked the door However…Oh My God! A surprising scene was placed out in front of her The house had become a mess The tissue paper and newspaper were shredded, the plants had fallen to the ground and soil had spilled out of the pots The water bottle was rolling around and chewed bones and dog food were scattered here and there Just one puppy had torn apart the house Ji-On's jaw dropped However, the subject, Dae-shi+k, was not home Where did the puppy who created this mess run off to?I
”Dae-shi+k?”
She orried ry …Did he already leave? Just as Ji-On threw her shoes off and searched under the bed,
”Dae-shi+k? Why did you give me such an old-fashi+oned name?”
A low voice sounded fro! Even if it was brief, the voice had such good timbre The shape of a tall man appeared from the dark shadows as Ji-On turned her head
It was the hu Ji-On froze It's the same That crazily handsome face could melt hearts Ji-On's peach fuzz all stood up froy-like facial features, and even the elegance that couldn't be hidden by the sweats that Ji-On's younger brother left behind Het used to his beauty Whatwine in his hand? Is that the precious, expensive wine that Dad gave ot ainst the wall and sipped the wine
”Hey, butler Why'd you co”
Whaat?
”Wh- why am I a butler?”
It's not like you're a cat
”Isn't that the trend these days?”
The trend in which country? If ant to be specific, wouldn't I be a temporaryas messy as the house She still couldn't believe it This fickle ether…
”First, sit down”
Ji-On dragged the carefree, wine-sipping Dae-shi+k to sit at the table
”Isinto the puppy and the puppy turning into you?”
She prayed that it was false as she asked It was too unrealistic
”Um, you see”
What is it? Is it true? Dae-shi+k crossed his legs and slowly nodded his head
”It's true”
O-oh, it's true I'
”How did that happen?”
”That's what I'”
”It doesn't et hit Wait, perhaps… you did get hit?”
Suddenly, the car accident replayed in her head
”Did you perhaps drive a Mercedes Benz when you were in human form?”
”A Benz? Isn't that a very nice car? I don't remember, but I feel like I would drive a Benz”
Is this guy the disappeared driver?
”What do you remember?”
