Jeon mansion.
"Are you crazy? What if someone sees us?" Hwan whispered.
Hooking her arms around his necks Somi rolled her eyes. "Why do you always act like a baby? So what if someone happens to see us? I can just say that you are trying to take advantage of me and then cry a little to melt everyone heart honey but I am not sure if anything will happen if you cry so—"
Cutting her off, he pulled her closer and bit her lower lip. "Are you planning to leave me alone to face your entire family?"
"May be,"
"You deserve to be punished," he whispered.
"Hmm so—" tiptoeing, she kissed his earlobe and whispered back, "Why don't you punish me tonight?"
"Of course I will, you cannot escape this punishment," he said before slipping his hand inside her t-shirt.
Pushing him away, she chuckled, "Ah so now you aren't scared of anyone?"
"Just when I had managed to gather a little courage to make a move, you pushed me away."
"Uh-huh, gather all the courage you have to sneak into my room at night because I will be waiting for you." Giving him a peck on his cheek, she ran towards her room.
Grinning from ear to ear, Hwan made his way towards the living room and slumped on the couch. Life had suddenly become so beautiful and peaceful after Somi had become a major part of it. She had managed to add the rainbow colours in his life, making him feel much more lighter and peaceful at heart.
He chuckled and slapped his forehead when he thought of the time when he actually tried to push her away from his life. He would've surely been crying in a corner by now if Somi hadn't knocked some sense inside him
"Where is everyone?"
Hwan widened his eyes in shock and quickly got up when he saw Jungkook coming towards him. For some odd reason, he had started feeling more scared and worried when Jungkook was around him after he started dating Somi.
Placing his hand on Hwan's shoulder, Jungkook asked, "Why did you stand up? Sit down."
Gulping in nervousness, he quickly sat down. His breathing hitched when Jungkook settled himself right beside him.
"Did Somi come with you?"
"Y-yes." His palms started turning sweaty when he started thinking about the chances of Jungkook discovering Somi and him fooling around a few minutes ago. But if Jungkook had really seen them, wouldn't he be dead by now?
Calming himself down, he somehow managed to ask, "Uncle Jungkook, do you want something from me?"
"Hmm, I wanted to talk to you about Somi."
"W-What about Somi?"
"I know you are very busy with your company and other things but yet I always ask you to take Somi here and there so—"
Cutting him off, Hwan said, "It's alright uncle Jungkook, I am always ready to help her so it's no big deal." Why would he have any problem with being with her?
"You understand why I urge you to be with Somi all the time right? Things are a bit chaotic now and you understand the situation quite well. I don't have to worry about Yuqi because Zixin is already taking care of her quite well. I just constantly keep worrying about Somi but I feel at peace when you are with her." Patting his back, Jungkook added, "You've always treated Somi like your own sister so I know that you'll protect her well."
Hwan had no idea whether he should laugh or cry. Forcing himself to smile, he said, "Don't worry uncle Jungkook, I'll always take care of Somi."
"Great, you should take some rest until others arrive." When Hwan nodded his head, he walked away.
After Jungkook was out of sight, Hwan covered his face with the cushion and groaned in frustration thinking about all the possibilities that could happen when Jungkook finds out that he was taking care of Somi in every possible way.

Outside the Jeon mansion.
"Did you look at that man's face?" Elsa chuckled.
"Hey, that place was very crowded and I thought it was your hand," Yunho sighed.
"What? Don't tell me you can't differentiate between a middle-aged man and my hands Yunho." She snapped.
Scratching his forehead, he said, "Hmm I guess I need to hold your hands quite often so that I don't get confused."
"I never said that you can't," Smiling at him, she added, "I really had a great time today, thank you so much."
"I also had a really great time today," Pausing for a while, he asked, "So, would you like to do it again?"
"Yes, I would love to."
"Great, then let's go out for a long drive tomorrow."
Elsa smiled and nodded her head.
....
Inside the mansion.
Jiyun frowned and asked, "What? How did that happen?"
"I have no idea, the police are trying to find out more details about the incident but the CCTV footage has been tampered." Jeonsan explained.
"So she was there in the hall, with us?" Yuqi asked.
"She was the waitress hired by the hotel for our banquet."
Taking a deep breath, Zixin added, "Not only that, she was engaged in a sexual activity right before she was killed."
"Was she raped?" Jiyun asked.
"Her postmortem report says that there is no sign of any forced entry, I don't think that she was raped. And whoever the man was didn't stop even after she died so they have the man's semen sample with them."
"This is so shocking," Massaging her forehead, Jiyun asked, "The police haven't found anything yet?"
"Nothing yet but they are trying to investigate."
"Why am I getting a serial killer vibe from this?" Yuqi asked.
"Whoever did this doesn't seem normal or mentally sound." Jeonsan said.
Wrapping his arms around Yuqi, Zixin kissed the top of her head. "Hey, there is nothing to worry about. I am sure that the police will arrest that man very soon."
