The Mystic Messenger
New member of RFA
A man and a woman were kissing intimately in a room while chatting about something.
Raline
Lee Heun Suk, do you really love me?~
HeunSuk Lee
Hey~ Why are you asking that? Of course, i love you so much.
Raline
Then, what about sis? Will you... break up with her?
HeunSuk Lee
Han Na? She didn't deserved my love, she didn't even let me touch her or sleep with her. Just what am i to her? A doll to play with?
A woman with a wavy brown hair just barged in the room.
Elaine
Heun Suk... What are you doing here with my sister..?
HeunSuk Lee
Didn't you see? Are you blind or something?
Elaine
....Ri Na. Whats going on here?!
Raline
Sis... Im sorry, but i really love him so much!! Im so sorry..
Elaine
No wonder you two didn't answer my calls earlier. So, this is it, right?
HeunSuk Lee
Yes, this is it. So, lets break up. Im tired with you.
Elaine
What..? You know that i love you so much, right? Please, don't leave me..
HeunSuk Lee
If you love me that much, why won't you sleep with me? We didn't even kissed yet! What are you waiting for?!
Elaine
I... I just want to that with you when we're married to each other...
HeunSuk Lee
Enough! I don't want to hear these excuses! Pack up your clothes and get out of here!
Elaine
You... Hou could you do this...?
When she were talking, she saw something in the back. Her sister were whispering something.
Raline
'Serves. You. Right. *smirk*'
Elaine were so shocked and then she got angry.
Elaine
So, it was you, Ri Na?! You are the one who seduced Heun Suk!
Elaine quickly grab Rina's hair roughly.
Raline
Owww!! Its hurts, sis! Please let me go...*crying*
Elaine
Stop acting, you bitch! Do you think i didn't see you earlier?! Do you think im so stupid?!
HeunSuk Lee
Han Na! Stop it, will you!
Elaine hold her face that just got slapped by Heun Suk.
Elaine
You.... slapped me?
HeunSuk Lee
Yeah! So what?! Ri Na is a kind, gentle and a pretty girl unlike you. What do you have? A messy hair, rotten personality.. And, your pretty face? You just have your pretty face, and you use your face to seduce me a year ago! You approach me and then confess to me that you like me.
HeunSuk Lee
I liked you before because of your pretty face, nothing more than that! You're the real bitch!
Elaine
You... How dare you cursing me like that?!
HeunSuk Lee
Enough! Now, go and pack your clothes and get out of this house! I don't want to see you anymore!
Elaine
*cries* Fine... From now on, im Shin Han Na will hate you and won't see you forever till i die!
HeunSuk Lee
Okay fine! Im Lee Heun Suk will not see you again and hate you forever! If i come to see you, i will become a dog!
Elaine then quickly pack her bag and left hurriedly.
She walks slowly and then sit on a bench not far from there. She began to cry.
Elaine
How dare they did this to me?! I won't forgive the two of them!
Elaine
What? When did i downloaded this app? Someone just messaged me. Unknown...?
Unknown
"Hah... Finally, there are someone here.!"
Unknown
"Im sure you're surprised.. Im a bit flustered myself. I found a smartphone at the subway station, but all it had was this messenger app."
Unknown
"I want to find the owner, but i don't see any contact Info or call records..."
Unknown
"I've been sending messages with this app but no reply..
Unknown
All i see is an address and some important looking numbers saved in notes.
Unknown
I'd like to go there myself but, im currently abroad.."
Unknown
"Yes. There's a korean address and a long number. I think its a password.
Unknown
Do you mind going to the address? Thats all thats saved in this phone."
Elaine
"Fine... I'm leaving right away if it feels sketchy."
Unknown
"Thanks for trusting me! I can't help but think about how stressed the owner might be...
Unknown
"Just a sec. I'll send you the address.
Elaine
Hmmm, that guy was creepy.. Nothing would happen,right? But, he really want to find the owner.. I should go, i feel bad for the owner..
Unknown
"Are you there? Nothing strange, right?"
Unknown
"Is there a password lock on the door?"
Unknown
"I'll send you the digits. Try it."
Elaine then input the password slowly. Then, the door's open.
Elaine
Ah! The door is open.
Unknown
"Then, why don't you try go inside?"
Elaine
"Can i just enter a stranger's house?"
Unknown
"You can just leave a note. I'll give you my info. Is something happens, you can just show my messages. That'll do."
Elaine
"Then... alright.."
When Elaine get in the place, her phone suddenly got hacked.
Elaine
W-what is this? My phone?
Then, a chatroom appeared.
Yoosung
"Failed my midterms fml 😭😭"
Elaine
Oh!Someone just send something.
707
"Cuz you played LOLOL all night lol.."
Jumin Han
"If you want to work for our company,you should take care of your GPA."
Yoosung
"I'm still on the list?!😵"
Elaine
Umm,should i try talk to them?
707
"Nice~Can't believe u get to work straight after college lol"
707
"In this day and age!!!"
Zen
"Lame, It's nepotism."
Jumin Han
"It's called recruitment actually."
Zen
"It's giving a free pass instead of actually training the worker."
Jumin Han
"Whatever,i couldn't care less what you say."
Zen
"What's the difference between recruitment and nepotism!?"
707
"Thought they're the same?🤥"
Jumin Han
"It's nepotism if you recruit a person you know and they aren't of any help"
Yoosung
"Oh~ So you become a candidate for nepotism the same time you're recruited!"
Yoosung
"Why??is something wrong?"
707
"Think someone entered the chat room;;"
Zen
"Wtf How did it get in here?"
Yoosung
"Hacker!!?There's a hacker in our room?!"
Yoosung
"Seven do somethinggg!!"
707
"Wait a sec,i'm searching"
Jumin Han
"Who are you?Reveal yourself. Hey,Assistant Kang."
Jaehee Kang
"Yes,i am here"
Zen
"You were so quiet i thought you went somewhere."
Jaehee Kang
"Nothing was out of the ordinary so i was just watching but i see something has just happened"
Jumin Han
"Why is a stranger in our chatroom?"
Jaehee Kang
"No one can enter this chatroom without installing the private app we use.... It seems someone has downloaded the RFA Messenger."
Yoosung
"I thought Seven let only us download it?🤔🤔🤔"
Zen
"Maybe someone downloaded the app on two phones?"
Jumin Han
"Who downloaded it twice?"
Elaine
Should i start talking?
Yoosung
"Gahh it's talking!!!😱😱😱😱"
Zen
"So it's not two smartphones."
Yoosung
"FInd out what is it!"
Jaehee Kang
"How did you find out about this place?Where did you download the application?"
707
"Just found something. This is weird."
Zen
"What is it? Hurry and tell us."
707
"I traced the IP.... It's from Rika's apartment."
Yoosung
"Rika's apartment?"
Jaehee Kang
"The location is not revealed. I know it to be classified."
707
"Anyways,someone must have broken into her apt."
707
"It talked just now,so it must be a person"
Yoosung
"So it hacked the program.Seven?
Yoosung
"Who are you?!How did you get into Rika's apartment?"
Yoosung
"How did you get this app?!
Gahhhh So scared right now....😢😢"
Jaehee Kang
"Username 'Elaine',i recommend that you confess."
Zen
"Jaehee,would you voluntarily confess to everything if it were you?"
Jaehee Kang
"No,but it is good to ask first."
Jumin Han
"Quit shittIng around."
Jumin Han
"Elaine..... Who are you?"
Jumin Han
"Reveal yourself,stranger. If you don't,you will pay."
Zen
"Stranger you will pay? Lmfao"
707
"That's sexist lol. U should watch what u say now that ur a famous actor"
Zen
"I'm not famous;; Just a bit recognizable."
Yoosung
"Nah~Look at the youtube hits~"
Jaehee Kang
"That video is still excellent no matter how many times i watch it."
Yoosung
"Zen,when do you start your next piece?"
Zen
";;Don't know,its up to the director."
Yoosung
"He's a celebrity lol! I'm gonna tell everyone at school."
Jumin Han
"DON'T GET DISTRACTED."
Yoosung
"Oh,right. Username Elaine....."
Jaehee Kang
"An abrupt stranger....."
707
"My hands r shaking as i hack"
Jumin Han
"Who are you?Reveal yourself right now."
Yoosung
"Yeeesss!Who are you?!"
707
"If it doesn't say anythIng i'll hack in and find out."
Zen
"Maybe.....
one of my fans?😶"
Elaine
"Reveal yourself first... I'm the most confused one here..."
707
"Zen,be more serious plz?"
707
"And wait a sec on the woman thing.
Looking it up😉"
Jaehee Kang
"Such a search violates privacy laws."
707
"Ya,i'm only saying i'm looking it up. No evidence that im actually hackginh."
Yoosung
"Seven,thats obviously a lie,lolol.. And i know that typo's on purpose."
Yoosung
"Still,won't it tell us about itself if we tell who we are first?"
Zen
"To be honest.... I agree with Yoosung."
Jumin Han
"More like you want to show off who you are."
Yoosung
"Should we... introduce ourselves?"
Jumin Han
"Are you serious....?"
Jaehee Kang
"I think it is a bit too early for that."
Zen
"Hi,im Zen.(24yrs old)
Musical actor.... Don't look me up on the internet."
Elaine
Zen??I think i knew him...
Yoosung
"Zen,youre so brave!!"
Jumin Han
"Guess he wanted to show himself off."
Yoosung
"Omg... a photo too."
Elaine
I remembered him! Maryn showed a photo of him performing on a stage.
Jaehee Kang
"My eyes have been cleansed.😊"
Jaehee Kang
"Wait,i can't be like this..."
Jumin Han
"I see that he has zero interest in his privacy."
707
"Lolol.. Oh,by the way..
My nickname's 707 or Luciel,but my real name is a secret."
707
"Fyi,Zen's real name is Hyun Ryu."
Zen
"Your name's a secret but not mine?;"
707
"U don't care anyways lol."
Jaehee Kang
"707 does have the strangest name so i understand the secrecy."
707
"The name's too holy to be spread around~ I'm gonna pray after i finish hacking."
707
"Just remember me as the 22yr old young hacker lol."
707
"Where i live is also a secret"
Yoosung
"I'm Yoosung Kim! I'm a college student.. 21 yrs old."
Jumin Han
"I don't know why everybody's introducing themselves. You don't even know who that person is"
Elaine
Omg!~ So cute~~ ...Wait,that's not the point here. They're seems so suspicions,but.. ugh,never mind
707
"So warm and fuzzy here"
Zen
"Lol. Seven,you don't have any selfies to show?"
707
"Jumin's the heir of a pretty famous corporation and Jaehee is his assistant. 27 and 26 yrs old respectively."
707
"You have a better sense of who we are now,Elaine?"
Jumin Han
"Why did you say that...?"
707
"Doubted you'd do it urself."
Jumin Han
"Stop shitting around."
707
"Oh,fyi,Jumin has the cutest cat."
Jumin Han
"Why are we talking about Elizabeth the 3rd to a stranger?"
707
"The cat's nane is Elizabeth the 3rd."
707
"Oh. You already said lol"
Yoosung
"That info's a bit useless...."
Yoosung
"We're not even close with this Elaine person yet lol"
Jumin Han
"Can't believe he showed a photo of Elizabeth the 3rd to a stranger....."
Jumin Han
"I know you came to my house the other day and harassed her. Its all on CCTV."
707
"My precious privacy!"
Zen
"Yeah since you care so much about privacy."
707
"I want to see the cat again~"
Zen
"Stop talking about cats. Giving me goosebumps."
Jaehee Kang
"I suggest that we take care of this stranger first."
Jaehee Kang
"Could it be that we have a security breach?"
Zen
"True. Elaine,how did you get in here?"
Elaine
Well,an unknown man give a password to me,should i tell them?Maybe i just listen first.
Yoosung
"Is it really in Rika's apartment?"
707
"HOW DID IT GET THE APARTMENT PASSWORD?!"
Zen
"Where the hell is the apartment?"
Elaine
"I am flustered too. I was connected to a stranger through a messenger app and he sent me the address."
Jumin Han
"Chatting with a stranger..."
Zen
"Went to an address from a chatting app lolol"
Yoosung
"Don't listen to strangers~ The world is dangerous."
707
"Do u have that person's username or chat record?"
Elaine
"The username was 'Unknown'. And the record was deleted."
Jumin Han
"Does the username not exists?Why is it 'Unknown'?"
707
"I made it impossible to log in without setting a username."
707
"Nothing's in the log...."
Yoosung
"What's a log? Is it a job title for online games?"
Jaehee Kang
"It refers topast records;;"
Zen
"Tsk tsk,everyone's so dumb"
Jumin Han
"Never thought i'd hear that from you"
707
"Omg lolol can't believe Zen just said that"
Jumin Han
"The world must be coming to an end."
Jaehee Kang
"Everyone please calm down. Let's look at the situation at hand."
707
"Hmm. Good point,Jaehee."
Jaehee Kang
"Who do you think that 'Unknown' person is?"
707
"I have everything covered!"
707
"Hey,Elaine. So he told you the password for the door lock?"
Jumin Han
"That 'Unknown' person could have dragged you into this."
Yoosung
"How did you end up chatting with that person?"
Jaehee Kang
"Where did you download this messenger app?"
Jaehee Kang
"Elaine,you are quite strange as well"
Zen
"Do you think this person's a creep? No way."
Elaine
"I don't know why this app installed in my phone. Maybe 'Unknown' hacked my phone?"
Zen
"So you really don't know?"
707
"Anyways,i should trace the person who distributed the app."
Jumin Han
"If what she is saying is true."
Jaehee Kang
"I think it would be a good idea to contact V."
707
"Yeah,i think that's a good idea."
707
"I'll call and explain everything."
707
"Already on it lol,sorry man"
Yoosung
"Seven seems talk to V pretty often."
Elaine
"Uhmmm,what is this chat room for;;"
Jaehee Kang
"We can answer that after we have told V about this situation."
Jumin Han
"I hope V comes and takes care of all this."
Zen
"V's too busy these days to come chat... We"ll get to talk to him because of this~"
Yoosung
"We're all busy. I don't like that V's the only one not coming."
Zen
"Well..... thats true...."
Jaehee Kang
"V should know that Elaine is here so let's just wait."
Jaehee Kang
"Seven,are you calling him?"
Yoosung
"But shouldn't we tell Elaine what this chatroom is for first?"
Yoosung
"She has to know how serious it is that she's here!"
Jumin Han
"What's more serious is that she's in Rika's apartment."
Jaehee Kang
"I am always ready to call the police."
Jumin Han
"Until we figure out who Elaine is,i don't want to reveal anything."
707
"Sorry,callingvandtypingwithonehand"
Yoosung
"Type after you finish the call"
707
"Lookedintoownerofdevice."
Yoosung
"What?Why? Is something wrong?"
707
"N-nothing,i just want to say that she's cute😅😅"
Yoosung
"You did a background check on her!? So Elaine is definitely a girl?!"
Elaine
"You're not violating my...."
707
"I told you im a hacker"
707
"But no evidence ididit."
Jumin Han
"What?it's really a girl?"
V has entered the chatroom
707
"Im sorry dude. I can't."
707
"How dare you try to violate someone's privacy like that."
Yoosung
"omg i thought we were respecting her privacy?"
Elaine
What the hell is going on here?
Jaehee Kang
"That is a photo of me."
Yoosung
"Oh right! Sorry i was too excited;;"
Zen
"So..sorry for not recognizing you;;"
Jaehee Kang
"Mr. Han,you can't recognize me either?"
707
"Lol. Can't believe he doesn't even recognize his own assistant."
Jumin Han
"Now,what are we going to do?"
707
"V's coming here soon. He just hung up."
V
"Yeah,i guess i'm the last one to know about this."
V
"How is everyone? Jaehee,you've been well?"
Jaehee Kang
"Yes,its been a long time,V"
V
"Well,i heard about the situation."
V
"ElaIne is currently in Rika's apartment with info from a stranger and logged into this chatroom."
707
"I told him everything through the phone."
Jumin Han
"Who disclosed the password for Rika's apartment?"
V
"Well,no one knew the password. i don't even know."
Yoosung
"....Thought V knew"
Yoosung
"She never invited me to her apartment."
Jumin Han
"It's the same for everyone else."
Jumin Han
"No one's been there before."
Yoosung
"Tell us the address. I'll go there... I want to check who Elaine is myself."
Yoosung
"Seven,you know right? You traced the IP just now."
707
"I can't tell you that."
Yoosung
"Im her surviving family."
Zen
"Maybe because you're just her cousin?"
707
"Not even her immediate family can go."
707
"And the apartment doesn't belong to Rika."
Yoosung
"You don't even know the password!"
V
"I just respected her privacy."
Yoosung
"..Were you really in a relationship with her?"
Jumin Han
"I can't you believe you never knew the password."
V
"I've never even been there. I just know where is it."
V
"Anyways,the apartment is in my name."
V
"Rika usually worked there There are a lot of documents in there that must not be damaged."
V
"I can't reveal the address because all the classified information about this organisation is stored there,plus other sensitive materials."
Jumin Han
"I didn't know the place contained sensitive material."
Yoosung
"You don't trust us enough to let us go,right?"
Jumin Han
"Don't take it personally. Its better to be ignorant sometimes."
V
"Yes,for the reason that Jumin said."
V
"Anyways,i can't tell you the address. Im sorry."
Yoosung
"Then how did Seven know that the address he traced is Rika's apartment?"
Jaehee Kang
"Since he's responsible for the organization's classified information."
707
"Yup. Thats true,but also im the one who developed this app."
707
"Rika wanted to take care of some work through this too."
707
"I went to her place to link the app with some of the documents in her computer."
V
"Only Luciel and i know the address."
V
"I repeat,since the information must be protected,please do not attempt to find the apartment."
V
"Do not ask Elaine about it and Elaine,please do not reveal the address."
Elaine
"Whats classified information?"
V
"All the information there is classified."
V
"So Elaine... Is that what i call you?"
V
"Please do not touch anything there."
V
"For example,if you try to force open one of the drawers..."
Yoosung
"What do we do about her apartment?"
Yoosung
"Can Elaine stay there?"
V
"No one here is going to go to Rika's apartment,right?"
V
"Since the information involves everyone around us,there might be trouble if we are not careful."
Jumin Han
"Yeah yeah. You can stop explaining. Classified information. Got it."
Jumin Han
"But it is a mystery how a complete stranger could end up there."
V
"If its someone who knows the password..."
V
"It might be someone that Rika trusted."
Jumin Han
"SOMEONE RIKA TRUSTED?"
707
"So then that 'Unknown' person..."
707
"I can't believe she trusted someone more than V."
Yoosung
"I don't believe that. She couldn't have trusted anyone more than us..."
Zen
"That is... a bit surprising."
V
"Its hard to believe myself.. But we shouldn't assume that we knew everything about Rika"
V
"had a deep world of her own."
Jumin Han
"...Anyways. V,continue."
V
"Elaine beIng at her apartment right now..."
V
"Rika must have wanted that."
Jumin Han
"Rika called in a complete stranger from up in the sky?"
V
"Im not saying she wanted Elaine to be there... But maybe.."
V
"Rika wanted someone to do the work she did before."
V
"At the place she worked before."
Jaehee Kang
"The work Rika did before..."
Elaine
Rika,Rika,Rika...,why the name was so familiar to me?
Zen
"You mean Rika's party."
Yoosung
"You really think that Rika planned this?"
Yoosung
"If she made the decision when she was alive..."
V
"Thats my guess.. but yes."
V
"Since she didn't leave a will."
V
"According to the information Luciel provided,Elaine doesn't seem dangerous."
Jumin Han
"Im not sure about this to be honest..."
V
"Besides... she's basically in the same boat now that she knows about this messenger app."
Zen
"If thats what V thinks..."
Zen
"I'll agree to it but i don't feel good about it.."
Jumin Han
"I still can't understand or agree with this."
Jumin Han
"I don't understand... why you would even make that guess."
707
"If thats what V thinks,i won't oppose it."
707
"Elaine must be going crazy with how things are goIng rn lol"
Elaine
Are you kidding me?Of course lm going crazy about this party thing,Rika' apartment,the freaking classified information!
Elaine
Ahh!!God im going crazy
Yoosung
"...I think im going crazy..."
Yoosung
"I can't believe there was something i didn't know about Rika.."
Zen
"Yeah... You two were really close."
Jumin Han
"Not as close as V was."
Zen
"Jumin you jerk,how could you be so harsh on Yoosung;;"
Elaine
"I just come here to find the owner of the phone... Whats going on...."
707
"You were phished lol"
707
"According to V's guess,Rika... the person who used to live there"
707
"had the person 'Unknown' convince u to go the apartment."
Jaehee Kang
"I understand... that everyone values V's opinion."
Jaehee Kang
"The chatroom is strictly prohibited to strangers."
Jaehee Kang
"If i may say so,i think that we must verify what Elaine has said."
Jaehee Kang
"For all we know,Elaine could have simply made up that 'Unknown' person."
707
"I feel like Jaehee's glasses are glinting right now."
V
"Thank you for your opinion,Jaehee."
V
"But right now,i would appreciate it if you could trust me."
V
"If Elaine is not to be trusted,we can deal with it then."
Jumin Han
"I don't agree with you... but i'll follow your decision."
Jaehee Kang
"If that is what Mr. Han thinks,then i will accede as well."
707
"Shouldn't we.. explain to Elaine about Rika and RFA?"
Zen
"V's old girlfriend,and the person who created this chatroom."
Yoosung
"Rika hosted parties regularly for a good cause."
Yoosung
"She organized a group called RFA to plan the party and manage participants."
707
"She hosted a fundraiser to help those in need"
707
"and introduced the guests to one another to arrange business deals."
707
"founded the organization called RFA four yesrs ago and hosted two parties until so far."
707
"The six of us who knew her personally joined the organization and helped her host the parties."
Elaine
Maybe its just a coincidence. Never mind.
Yoosung
"She was an amazing person...."
Yoosung
"She always sparkled."
Zen
"is no longer here with us.."
Zen
"She passed away seven years ago."
707
"Elaine has to know this anyways..."
Zen
"Anyways,we still haven't gotten over that yet"
Zen
"so please just keep it to yourself... Elaine."
Jumin Han
"I still can't believe..."
Jumin Han
"that Rika knew she'd pass away and planned all this."
Jumin Han
"But i'll just considered it as true for now since V thinks so."
Yoosung
"... I can't imagine... someone else taking over what Rika did."
Zen
"But if we continue on like this,there's no need for the party or our organization to continue."
Jumin Han
"We don't even know who she is though."
Zen
"Just the fact that she's in this chatroom makes me trust her a bit though;;"
Jumin Han
"Not because Elaine's a girl?"
V
"Everyone... I know that this is confusing. But... Maybe Elaine was chosen by Rika."
V
"707 will look into that person called 'Unknown'."
V
"So for now,please just believe in me and wait."
707
"I guess ur busy right now. Ur replies are really late."
V
"Yeah,i think.... i have to leave right now."
V
"Elaine,it is best not touch anything in the apartment."
V
"It won't be good if the alarm rings."
V
"Everything that you have to do... will be linked with this app installed on your phone."
Elaine
"What do you mean?"
707
"This app program is not just a simple messenger."
707
"All the party related emails in Rika's computer will be transferred to this app."
707
"U'll be able to automatically receive the guests' information as well."
707
"And send personal messages to other members.."
V
"Then there's no need for Elaine to touch Rika's old things."
Jaehee Kang
"All Elaine has to do is use this app."
707
"I put in all those features so that Rika could work comfortably."
707
"Glad there's a use for them lol"
Zen
"Hey. My messenger doesn't have any email checking thing?"
Yoosung
"Can't my messenger tell me if my Lol friends are logged in?"
Elaine
Omg,this boy are really obsessed with that game...
V
"I'm sorry...,but i have to leave."
707
"Okay,but before you leave the messenger,i need to tell you something."
707
"Something really shocking"
V
"Please take care of things for me."
Zen
"Yup. What's he so busy with?"
Jumin Han
"None of your business."
Jumin Han
"By the way,what do you want to tell V? It sounds so serious earlier"
Zen
"Yeah,what is it,Seven?"
707
"...Anyways,lets do what V said. Elaine,u can log into this chatroom from time to time right?"
Zen
"Well,he just changed the topic."
Jumin Han
"Its alright if you don't want to tell us.But we have the right to know it."
Yoosung
"Right?? i agree with you,Jumin"
707
"Im sorry guys...,but i need to keep this from you all,first"
707
"I need to investigate about this with V first,then we tell you for sure."
707
"Please log in at times and do what Rika did."
707
"All u have to do is use the features in this app."
707
"Most of it is just checking emails."
707
"Most of the emails will be about people who want to attend the party."
Jumin Han
"Why doesn't everyone stop talking and Assistant Kang summarize everything for her."
Jumin Han
"And invite her to the organization."
Jaehee Kang
"RFA is an organization Rika created so that anyone can freely make donations regardless of class or nationality."
Jaehee Kang
"At that time,she hosted quite large parties once every two years,and they were very successful."
Zen
"Those were busy days. I thought people were going to trample me."
Jaehee Kang
"This chatroom was used to discuss plans for the party."
707
"I created this chatromm lol."
Yoosung
"Everyone knows that already...."
Jaehee Kang
"Because this chatroom contained a lot of information that cannot be publicly released"
Jaehee Kang
"the app was distributed in secret only for RFA members."
Jaehee Kang
"But ever since Rika passed away,we have not hosted a single party."
Jumin Han
"Yeah..... not a single one."
Jumin Han
"We wanted to,but without Rika,we couldn't proceed."
Jaehee Kang
"...And this chatroom became a place for us to talk about personal matters."
707
"We check that everyone's alive with this chatroom and literally just chat."
Yoosung
"We shared our memories of Rika too."
Jaehee Kang
"... Elaine, i think you were led to that place without any explanation."
Jaehee Kang
"If V is right,it seems that someone sent you there to fill Rika's position."
Jaehee Kang
"Considering that you knowing about the existence of that place as satisfies the conditions for joining the organization,following V's orders..."
Jaehee Kang
"We officially request you,Elaine,to join the organization."
Jumin Han
"Fyi,currently there are six members. Me,V,Zen,707,Yoosung and Assistant Kang. Everyone in the chatroom."
Zen
"If Elaine joins,it will be seven."
Yoosung
"Is she.... really becoming a new member?"
Jumin Han
"We didn't hear from Elaine yet."
Jumin Han
"All we are trying to do is host parties,raise funds,gather people.... and things like that."
Jumin Han
"Our organization has done a lot of good so far."
Jumin Han
"....You will never regret joining."
Yoosung
"I thought Jumin was against her. Why the sudden change?"
Jumin Han
"I am only following V's decision."
Zen
"If you join the organization, we'll be able to talk more. Not everyday we meet a pretty girl."
707
"Uhm. How do you know she's pretty? I didn't evem send the photo."
Jumin Han
"Men will be men."
Zen
"And you're not a man?"
707
"Heard somewhere Jumin's gay."
Zen
"Go away. You scare me."
Jumin Han
"Not even worth responding to that."
Yoosung
"But Zen,you have really low standards. You still care for looks?"
Jaehee Kang
"Famous people must not act that way."
Zen
"Gosh~ Im not that famous~"
Jumin Han
"Everyone stop messing around."
Jumin Han
"I was talking?"
Jaehee Kang
"I apologize."
Jumin Han
"Elaine,will you join RFA?"
Elaine
"....What do i get if i join?"
Zen
"Whatever your heart desires."
Jumin Han
"It would be nice if you could."
Zen
"Elaine, are you interested in musicals."
Yoosung
"Zen, i never knew you were so into girlsss!"
Zen
"No, i just like the real deal."
Zen
"Do you want to talk privately? I'll give you my number."
707
"Zen, why are you being so aggressive lol?"
Jumin Han
"Has it been 3 years since his last flIng?"
Zen
"Its been longer. Damn..."
Zen
"But i've never seen you with a woman?Ever?"
Yoosung
"Stop it guys...."
Yoosung
"I've never.... been with anyone..."
707
"Good. I've registered her as a member! Oh,we don't really need ur signature."
Yoosung
"You're going to collect all the info so she can't run away,right?"
707
"...Since its a verbal contract."
Zen
"....Don't collect anything without Elaine's permission."
Jaehee Kang
"Well,since she has joined, i think everyone can leave if they need to."
Jumin Han
"Hmmm. Let me check ny schedule...."
707
"Anyways, welcome Elaine."
Yoosung
"Welcome!! Good luck to us."
Zen
"Glad you joined,Elaine😄"
Jumin Han
"We'll see how you do."
Jaehee Kang
"For now, i look forward to working with you."
Jumin Han has left the chatroom.
Zen
"I had a good dream last night. I think i saw you there..."
Jaehee Kang has left the chatroom.
Zen has left the chatroom.
Yoosung has left the chatroom.
707
"Oh...,i need to go first. If there anything, you can call me!"
Elaine
"Of course, Luciel.
707 has left the chatroom.
Elaine has left the chatroom.
Elaine
Rika,the party.. Now,iam a new member. It happened so suddenly. Im getting confused here.
Elaine
Whatever. Don't touch anything,don't open anything. Just do your party coordinator thing. Yes,you can do it, Han Na!
Elaine was so happy because she don't need to live with her sister and her ex boyfriend. And,she get the new job. Its a good news for her.
Is It A Coincidence?
Elaine were cleaning the Rika's apartment until...
Elaine
New chatroom? Why now..?
Zen
"So lame that you responded to her with another hello lol"
Jumin Han
"I have to be polite to a member of the RFA."
Zen
"Aha. I see you're helpless in front of V."
Jumin Han
"Isn't everybody in this organization?"
Elaine
"But Jumin, don't you have to go to work?"
Jumin Han
"I was about to."
Zen
"No one's going to give the executive a hard time for being late."
Jumin Han
"Assistant Kang will say something though."
Jumin Han
"Anyways, cats are the best pet, so Elaine you should look into it.
Jumin Han
Elizabeth the 3rd is the only one who sees me off to work.
Jumin Han
She's the only one i need."
Zen
"What are you talking about.. You make all of your maids see you off."
Jumin Han
"What i mean is... Elizabeth the 3rd is the only one who sees me off with a loving soul."
Jumin Han
"I don't care what other people think.
Jumin Han
Elizabeth the 3rd's love is all i need."
Zen
"I bet you sleep while hugging the cat.
Zen
I can't even begin to imagine all the fur on your bed."
Jumin Han
"...Did you just imagine my bed?"
Jumin Han
"Ha. If you live with one, you'll see that they are the best animals. Oh, l guess you'll never get to because of your allergy. How tragic. You are missing out on a big joy of life."
Zen
"Don't care. I have plenty of other joys."
Zen
"Im going to leave now to enjoy one of those which is reading fan letters and practicing my lines. Bye."
Elaine
"Goodbye, lovely Zen😊"
Zen
omg. my heart just jumped a bit."
Jumin Han
"Im leaving first.
Jumin Han has left the chatroom.
Zen
"Whats with that old man..
Zen
Lets talk again,soon😀"
Zen has left the chatroom.
707
Who's that? Ah, V you're here!
V
Yeah.. So, what do you want to talk about?
707
Actually theres something odd about that Elaine girl. You need to see her face.
V
T-this!! Why her face was so similiar to Rika?!
707
I don't know yet. This Elaine girl are so mysterious. I can't find information about her.
707
Earlier in the chatroom, Elaine called me Luciel,like Rika used to called me.
707
Maybe it just a coincidence.
V
Really? I think i need to live beside her apartment, to see who she really is.
V
Alright, i need to move beside her apartment..
707
Alright see you soon,V!
When V get out, 707 quickly check Elaine's background.
Elaine opened the door quickly.
V
'Ah... She really did looked like Rika...'
V
Ah.. Im so sorry, i was thinking of something..
Elaine
Okay.. So, who are you...?
V
Oh, I am V, the head of RFA. We talked in the messenger earlier.
Elaine
Oh, V? Why did you come here? Is there something wrong?
V
I want to tell you that from now on.. i will live beside Rika's apartment.
Elaine
Hm? Is there a particular reason?
V
There is. But, i can't revealed it yet. When the right time comes, i'll tell you all about it.
V
And, if you have something to ask, just come to me. I'll be in my apartment all day. If im out, i'll remind you right away.
V
Alright. I just came to tell you this. Im sorry if im bothering you. You were in the middle of something, right?
Elaine
Yes.. How did you know..?
V
Haha, i just knew. Okay then, i'll be going first. Goodbye.
Elaine close the door and then go straight to the bathroom.
Elaine
Its time for bath!~
Elaine
It was so hot earlier. Im glad i took a bath.
Elaine
But... Why did V looked at me like that earlier? He looked like he want to cry..
Elaine
Ah! I forgot to shop for groceries! I need to go out now.
Elaine
Some beef... A bottle of cow milk.. 1kg of rice... What else..? Oh, yogurt drink!~
Suddenly, a man with black haired and brown eyes come approaching her.
Rayyan
Excuse me, are you Hanna?
Elaine
Ah, yes.. Who are you?
Rayyan
Hey, you forgot about me already? Its me, Rayyan! We studied together in university last year with Maryn and the others.
Elaine
Oh, yes! I remembered it now. Sorry2, how are you doing?
Rayyan
Me? Im fine, i just recently got a job as an office boy. Lucky me!
Elaine
What a coincidence! Me too.
Rayyan
Wow,really? What job is it?
Elaine

Rayyan
Wow,thats amazing! You're so lucky,Hanna.
Elaine
Haha, you think so? Ah.. its 7 pm. Hey, i think i need to go first. I need to make dinner.
Rayyan
Do you remember the Professor Seo from back then?
Elaine
Professor... Seo? Hm.. Ah! That stern professor! Why are you suddenly mentioning him?
Rayyan
Actually, he invited some students to a gathering party, including Maryn, you and me!
Elaine
Oh my! Really? Then, i can meet with Maryn soon!~
Rayyan
Haha, i knew you would like it! So, are you in?
Elaine

Rayyan

Elaine

Rayyan
You have a schedule? Is it for your works?
Elaine

Rayyan

Elaine
Friday, saturday... Oh, im free this Sunday!
Rayyan
Really? Thats good!~ I will tell Professor Seo that you'll be coming. I'll send you the location and time later.
Elaine
Okay. I'll get going no-
When Elaine about to turn around, she came across V.
V
Elaine, what a coincidence!
Rayyan
You knew each other?
Elaine
Ah, yes.. He's the leader from our organization for our party.
Rayyan
Oh.. He's the leader.. Wait, you are V?!
Rayyan
Then, the organization that you're talking about..
Elaine
Yeah... Why are you so shocked??
Rayyan
Hey, of course, im shocked! Its reallly famous!~ Woww, how did you end up joining the organization?!~ I heard only the choosen can join the organization.
Elaine
Well, you can say im choosen.
Elaine
Haha, im not telling~
V
Are you shopping for groceries? The trolley are so full.
Elaine
Ah, yes. I had nothing to cook, so i bought something.
Elaine
And you? What did you want to buy?
Rayyan
Ah, its getting late. I'll go first, Han Na. See you this Sunday.
V
Where are you going this Sunday?
Elaine
Oh, our professor invited me and the other students to a gathering party. I don't have anything on Sunday, right?
V
Oh.. You don't.. But, can i tag along?
V
Ah.. Im worried for your safety.. You know, the hacker are still around right now.. So, you can't go out too much.
Elaine
Ah.. Really? Then.. I'll tell him about it.
V
Okay, then. Ah, should we pay and go home together? After all, our apartments are just next door.
They walk together to the counter to pay. Then, a cashier talk to them.
Cashier
Are you two a couple? You looks so good together.
Elaine
Ah? No,no. We're not.
Cashier
Im sorry, i thought you are a couple.
Cashier
Then, are you two friends?
Along the way, they just silent. V keeps staring at Elaine at the time. Elaine were so uncomfortable.
They walked together to their apartment.
Elaine
Then, i'll go in first.
*Inside Rika's apartment*
Elaine
Fuh! That was so awkward.. Whats wrong with him? He stared at me for a long time earlier.
After a few moments, Elaine went to make a dinner. Then, she goes to the balcony for a fresh air.
Elaine
Haah... So good... Wait a sec... (sniff2)
She looked at V's apartment, there are smokes coming out from the balcony. Elaine was so shocked,then she hurried to V's apartment.
V
Yes? Oh,Elaine. What brings you here?
Elaine
I saw smokes came out from the balcony earlier.. Are you okay? You're not hurt,right?
V
'She's worried about me...' Ahh, its nothing.. I just make some dinner...?
Elaine
Dinner? Did you put the kitchen on fire again? Gosh, so much trouble!
Elaine
Its okay, i already cooked dinner. You're lucky i cooked extra. Lets go to my apartment.
They sit together at the table,like V and Rika used to.
Elaine put a few dish at the table.
Elaine
Why? You don't like them?
V
No, they're my favorite dishes.
As soon as they finished eating, Elaine's phone rang.
Elaine
"..Tomorrow? Alright,then."
Elaine
Yeah.. Oh, i need to go out to meet her tomorrow.
V
Ah really? Whats going on?
Elaine
She said she want to introduce me to someone. Maybe some relative.
V
Oh.. Ah, its already this late.
Elaine
Oh! You're right, its already 10 pm...
V
I want to stay a bit longer, but what can i do? Unfortunately, i have to go now.
Elaine
Yes, then see you again.
V
Yes, see you again soon.
V
Thank you for the dinner. It was so delicious, i hope i can eat with you again.
Elaine
Of course, you can. You can stop by whenever you want to.
V
Really? I was only joking though, i never thought you would invite me again. Thank you so much.
Elaine
Yes, you're welcome.
Her mother told Elaine to meet at her family company.
Yi Ryeong Shin
Hanna, you're here. Lets go.
Yi Ryeong Shin
I need you to meet someone. You might like him.
Ryu Jin Shin
Oh,you two are here. Lets go to my office. The guests has arrived.
Yi Ryeong Shin
Okay. Lets go, Hanna.
Ryu Jin Shin
You two must have been waiting for a long time.
Jumin Han
Of course not,Mr. Shin.
Ryu Jin Shin
Let me introduce,my daughter. Shin Han Na.
Jumin Han
Hi, im Han Jumin. Nice to meet you.
Jumin held out his hand. Then,Elaine slowly shake his hand.
Elaine
Ah,yes. Nice to meet you.
Elaine quickly release her hand. She smiled politely.
Jumin Han
'This woman... Wait... Rika?'
Ryu Jin Shin
Mr. Han, do you know why i asked you to come here?
Jumin Han
My father said its about an arrangement.
Ryu Jin Shin
Yes.. It was a marriage arrangement.
Jumin Han
Marriage arrangement? So, this lady here..
Ryu Jin Shin
Yes, she will become your partner in the future.
Elaine
What?! Dad,why didn't you talk to me first about this?
Ryu Jin Shin
Hanna,mind your manners.
Jumin Han
Its okay, she must be shocked about this. Umm,Mr. Shin. Can i talk to your daughter for a sec?
Ryu Jin Shin
Of course, you can. Hanna,go with him.
Jumin and Elaine walk out together.
Elaine
Ummm,what is it Mr. Han?
Jumin stared at Elaine. A woman who looked so similar to Rika.
Elaine
'Wait a sec... Is this Jumin..? In the messenger earlier?'
Jumin Han
...Ah,im sorry. Your name's Hanna?
Elaine
So, what do you want to talk about?
Jumin Han
...Its nothing.. Your face looked so similiar to my friend.
Elaine
Really? Oh.. So, where is she now?
Jumin Han
She.... passed away..
Elaine
' Should i tell him? But, V told me not to..'
Elaine
Oh no... Im so sorry..
Jumin Han
Its okay.. Its all in the past. Actually, i need to ask you something..
Jumin Han
Do you know what happened 7 years ago?
Elaine
7 years ago? ....That time...
Ryu Jin Shin
Umm,Mr. Han? Are you done speaking with my daughter? What do you think of her?
Jumin Han
Ah,yes. She's a great lady. I'll love to meet her again soon.
Ryu Jin Shin
Thank you for thinking so. Alright Mr. Han. I'll have her to meet with you again. I hope you two can get to know each other soon.
Jumin Han
Thank you. Oh, im sorry. I have another meeting right now. I hope you don't mind if i excuse myself.
Ryu Jin Shin
Oh, of course. Thank you for coming here.
Jumin Han
Alright then. Assistant Kang, lets go.
Elaine
'That must be Kang Jaehee, right?'
The two of them walk out of the company.
Ryu Jin Shin
Hanna, good job!
Yi Ryeong Shin
I can't believed Mr. Han were interested in you. I heard he didn't had a girlfriend before. I wonder how you manage to win his heart.
Elaine
But, i didn't do anything....
Ryu Jin Shin
Maybe he likes the quiet type.
Elaine
How can that be? Mom,dad. I don't want to marry him..
Ryu Jin Shin
No! You need to get marry with him. I'll pick a date to have you two to meet up. Its okay, i won't ask you to get marry quickly.
Ryu Jin Shin
No buts! Mr. Han were interested in you, how could i let this opportunity go away?
Elaine
...Mom. Do you agree..?
Yi Ryeong Shin
Of course, i agree with it. If you get marry with him, you'll have a better life than before. You'll be happy, just trust me. I really hope you agree with this too.
Elaine
....Okay. I'll think about it.
Ryu Jin Shin
Anything you say,Hanna. I hope you'll give me a good news.
Elaine
..Then, i leave first.
Yi Ryeong Shin
Alright, be careful.
When Elaine walked away, her father and mother began talk about her.
Yi Ryeong Shin
Dear, i think we need to talk to her about that.
Ryu Jin Shin
No, its not the right time yet. When she get married with him, i'll tell her about that matter.
Jaehee Kang
Mr. Han, are you alright?
Jaehee Kang
You've been quiet since you met that lady.
Jumin Han
Do you remember What Rika's face like?
Jaehee Kang
Miss Rika? Yes,why.
Jumin Han
Don't you think that woman earlier kind of look like Rika?
Jumin Han
Her hair style,her eyes and her face. I can't never forget her.
Jaehee Kang
Then, you should tell V.
Jumin Han
....Nothing. But, don't tell anything to V.
Jaehee Kang
Ah.. I keep that in mind.
Rika and Jumin sat together at a garden.
??
There's something i always wondered about you.
Rika
Why do you never make friends?
Rika
Im sure a lot of people approach you for your background, but there seemed to be a lot of other good people who really just wanted to get know you.
Jumin Han
People who just want to get to know me?
Jumin Han
Haha, i doubt it..
Jumin Han
Looking at my father, i think thats something you end up believing.
Jumin Han
That there are people with pure intentions.
Jumin Han
But, they always end up betraying you.
Rika
Can't you be a bit more open minded towards the world? Some people are really good at heart.
Jumin Han
Even if there are such people, i don't want to get to know them.
Jumin Han
Im afraid i'll end up like my father.
Jumin Han
I just want to be a person who perfectly finishes the work given to him.
Jumin Han
Its horrible just imagining having more situations where i need to show my emotions...
Rika
Hmm.... Then, how did we end up as friends?
Rika
You don't believe in people's innocence, do you believe that i have pure intentions?
Jumin Han
You and V are not like others.
Jumin Han
You two... felt different from the moment i saw you
Rika
So, you mean... we're special?
Jumin Han
Yeah, i suppose.
Rika
I... i want you to have more special people In your life, Jumin.
Rika
Im worried that you spend most of your time alone.
Rika
You do meet people for business...but that cannot soothe your loneliness.
Rika
You need more friends to talk to.
Jumin Han
Its useless to worry about that,i don't believe anyone else other than you two.And i have no interest.
Rika
Don't you get lonely?
Jumin Han
Everyone gets lonely. Its not a special feeling.
Rika
Here's the cynical Jumin we know.
Jumin Han
I will be humble and accept your criticism
Rika
Hmm~ I don't think you're taking my advice seriously! Im just worried about you!
Jumin Han
Im being serious, Rika.
Rika
People are designed to live with others.Loneliness is an instinct! Its a sign to your brain that you need to have more people around you!
Rika
And you ignore that sign all the time. Not just loneliness,but most other signs too!
Jumin Han
This is amusing. And you see those signs? Is that what people call a woman's sixth sense?
Rika
Are you taking me seriously right now?
Jumin Han
I told you im serious.
Rika
Pay more attentions to how others feel.Then you can show your own feelings to them.
Jumin Han
Show my own feelings?
Rika
Yeah, like a sincere thanks or compliment... Nice things like that!
Jumin Han
Well, i always thank people.
Rika
But you always sound so formal. "I must apologize. Thank you. Take care." Its all so cold..
Rika
You're stone cold ice when you talk!
Jumin Han
God... Its because feelings only end up in unnecessary complications.
Rika
So what if there're some unnecessary complications? Everyone goes through that. Thats how people live.
Rika
You've been strong alone enough.. Would you believe me if i tell you that i can see your fears?
Rika
Be honest. Jumin, you believe that something bad will happen if you get emotionally involved with someone.
Rika
Im sure your father had something to do with it..
Rika
but maybe you're afraid.. because you're living amongst so many voices?
Rika
I can see it. I can see what you need.
Jumin Han
...What do i need?
Rika
You need someone who you express everything to! Someone you don't have to fear, someone kind and open...!
Jumin Han
Its a no, if you're trying to set me up with someone.
Rika
Don't worry. I know that you have a mental allergy to pretty girls.
Rika
Wait, come to think of it, that means that im not pretty....
Jumin Han
Thats not true. You're beautiful, Rika.
Rika
Thank god you at least learned good manners.
Jumin slowly hold her hand gently.
Rika
Oh! We'll have to talk about it with V...
Rika move her hand quickly.
Rika
but why don't V and i give you a pet?
Rika
I'll pick a girl that you'll love.
Jumin Han
I appreciate it.. but i don't need it. And i won't be able to take good care of it.
Rika
I know you can. Im 100% sure she'll be your special friend!
Rika
You'd deny it..... but you need it. Think about it if you trust me, okay?
Rika
Yeah... A cat will be perfect for you. Since you act a bit like a cat.
Rika
It'll be perfect. Jumin and his cat!
Jaehee Kang
Mr. Han,Mr. Han!
Jaehee Kang
What're you thinking about?
Jumin Han
Im just thinking... how lonely is Elizabeth the 3rd right now.. Can't i go back home right away?
Jaehee Kang
Of course, you can't. We have a meeting right now and we're already arrived.
Jumin Han
Sigh... Okay then..
Elaine
Oh my god.... Marriage?!!
Elaine
And Jumin wants to meet me again? Why did he do that?
Elaine
Huh?New chatroom has opened?
Elaine has entered the chatroom.

Elaine
"Disappeared...? Didn't she passed away?"
Yoosung
"Thats what V said. I don't believe him. We couldn't even find her body."
Yoosung
"its basically no different from disappearance."
Yoosung
"I need solid evidence..."
Yoosung
"I would admit it if there is a solid evidence..."
Elaine
"You must be frustrated, Yoosung..."
Yoosung
"I am.... Its so frustrating...."
Yoosung
"No one ever understood how i feel...."
Yoosung
"But you do....,Thank you."
Elaine
"Yeah.. From now on, i will always be there for you no matter what happen. Alright?"

Yoosung
"....V and Rika were lover and even engaged. But then.."
Yoosung
"Rika disappeared 7 years ago. V was the last person who was with her before she died."
Yoosung
"but V said that Rika departed this world. Without any evidence to support his words."
Zen
"Hey. Why would you put it that way?"
Zen
"We already had her funeral. Why would you pull that out now...?"
Zen
"Please understand,Elaine."
Zen
"Yoosung hasn't accepted yet that Rika left."
Zen
"So he might sound a little like.. what he sounded just now. He might seem weird but its all because he misses Rika so much."
Elaine
"....Its okay. I understand him."
Yoosung
" Thank you, Elaine...."
Elaine
" Its nothing... We are members after all."
Yoosung
"But,Zen. Its true that there's no evidence."
Zen
"that V has always done his best for the RFA and Rika."
Yoosung
"Yes, he used to in the past. Perhaps."
Yoosung
"But he doesn't feel the same now.."
Elaine
"Yoosung. We cannot turns back time. Lets just believe in V. Maybe he had his reasons?"
Yoosung
"He's been rarely dropping by our messenger for the past 6 months."
Zen
"He lost his beloved all of a sudden,do you honestly expect him to laugh and hang out with others?"
Zen
"Its only natural that he's stuck in his room all day;"
Elaine
"Don't you think V is trying to cope with his emotions where you can't see him?"
Zen
"Yeah. I agree. I think he's desperately trying to hide his emotions in front of us."
Yoosung
"Doesn't seem like that to to me. But you also know that V keeps hiding things fron us..."
Zen
"Hmm.. but im not gonna suspect him. He just loved someone he loved."
Yoosung
"No mattet how many times i give a thought about it,something's fishy about V."
Yoosung
"I think i'll feel better only after i find out everything."
Zen
" I know how upset you are,you were so close to her and her death was a shock to everyone..."
Elaine
"Yoosung, calm down and take a break~"
Zen
"You should. I wouldn't told you that if Elaine didn't."
Zen
"Touch your forehead right now."
Yoosung
"Whats the deal so sudden?"
Yoosung
"Uh... Ummm,a little"
Zen
"It is time for you to cool down."
Yoosung
"Coold down? My head?"
Zen
"Yes. So that you can think cool-headed"
Zen
"I think your head is overheated. Elaine, you agree,dont you?"
Elaine
"Yes agreed. Be an iceman!"
Zen
"She said iceman lmaooo Cute lmaoo"
Yoosung
"Does that mean Jumin's forehead is always icy?"
Zen
"Of course lol,his forehead is one thing."
Zen
"His heart is basically an ice rink lol."
Yoosung
"lololol thats too much"
Meanwhile at Jumin's office....
Jaehee Kang
Are you alright,sir?
Jumin Han
Yes, someone must be talking bad about me..
Zen
"Talking about Rika would make your head heat up even more and you would look like a nuisance to Elaine"
Yoosung
"Zen,what do you mean nuisance?😢"
Elaine
"Hahaha.. Of course, you're not a nuisance.Yoosung. You're just a cute boy~"
Zen
"She just making fun of you."
Yoosung
"Humphh,its just you and Seven.... You two are the only ones!"
Zen
"Nope,i think you also enjoy being teased by others."
Zen
"Oh sure lol,if thats what you want to think though nothing will change lmao."
Yoosung
"Fine😕,i doubt i'll fall asleep. You should go to bed too,Zen."
Yoosung
"And Elaine, don't stay up too late."
Elaine
"Thanks for worrying,Yoosung."
Yoosung
"Um!Goodnight,both of you!"
Yoosung has left the chatroom.
Zen
"Umm.... Elaine,Yoosung is not very fond of V but in my pov,they're both good people."
Zen
"So i hope you take a good care of the RFA😄"
Elaine
"Of course, i will😀"
Zen
"Thanks for saying that. I feel so relieved haha."
Zen
"Theres nothing as sad as leaving a bad impression haha."
Zen
"Have a sweet dream... Elaine."
Elaine
"Yes,you too Zen. Good night."
Zen
"Good night! I'll talk to you again in the morning!"
Zen has left the chatroom.
Elaine has left the chatroom.
As soon as Elaine left the chatroom, Yoosung calls her.
Elaine
"..Hi, Yoosung. What is it?"
Elaine
"Huh,what? Whats wrong with my voice?"
Yoosung
"It sounds so familiar.... Your voice are similar to Rika.. Ah, don't get me wrong. Im not confusing you with Rika."
Yoosung
"Actually, i need to ask you something. Its about Rika."
Elaine
"....Rika? Why did you ask me? I don't know anything about her."
Yoosung
"Elaine. The way you talked earlier was similar to Rika. Are you.... Rika?"
Elaine
" Of course, not~ Why did you ask me like that?."
Yoosung
" Nothing.. I just missed Rika..."
Elaine
". It can't be helped.."
Elaine
"Ah,im sorry. I need to go first. Lets talk later,okay?"
Yoosung
"...Hmm,okay. Bye then."
When Elaine opened the door, she saw V in a drunken state.
Elaine
V, what are you doing here? Why are you so drunk?! Are you alright?"
Elaine
V, did you heard me?! Hey!
Then, V almost collapsed. Thankfully, Elaine managed to catch V in time.
Elaine
God... Where's your key?!
When she found the key, she entered in the V's apartment.
Elaine
l need to put him at the bed first.
V
Hmm? ... Elaine, what are you doing here?
Elaine
You came to my apartment earlier in a drunken state. So, i had to brIng you back here. Now that you've wake up, i leave first.
V
Ah... Okay.. Im so sorry to bother you.
Elaine
Its okay. Then, bye.
Then, Elaine quickly get out from there.
Elaine
*sigh...* What a trouble..
The Meeting
Elaine
Hahh... I couldn't sleep!
Elaine
Oh. New chatroom has opened.
Elaine has entered the chatroom.
Jaehee Kang
"Greetings, Elaine."
Jaehee Kang
"What brings you here at this hour?"
Elaine
"I couldn't sleep."
Jaehee Kang
"Did something keep you up?"
Jaehee Kang
"Perhaps it's because you've become our member."
Jaehee Kang
Elaine, after you joined us, i was so engrossed on work."
Jaehee Kang
"I had no idea what time it was. When i regained my senses, it was already this late..😫"
Elaine
"You mean you work until this hour?"
Jaehee Kang
"Yes... sometimes this happens. But luckily, this is not a daily routine."
Jaehee Kang
"Today i have a good reason why.
Jaehee Kang
"Though Luciel said that he'll do some research about you, i must do some research on my own as well, as Mr. Han requested."
Jaehee Kang
"I would love to know how you got to install this messenger app.
Jaehee Kang
Can you answer this question?"
Elaine
"At that time, i got a notification. When i looked at my phone, this app already in my phone.So, i tried to open it and an unknown messaged me."
Jaehee Kang
"Then, you become our member."
Jaehee Kang
"Anyways... This is all just a procedure to trust you so i hope you're not offended, Elaine."
Jaehee Kang
"....There will be a lot of things we must work together on to coordinate the parties..."
Jaehee Kang
"Mr. Han is also curious about you, Elaine. Very curious..."
Elaine
"What does he want to know about me?"
Jaehee Kang
"You'll know someday."
Jaehee Kang
"In Mr. Han's cases, he wouldn't ask you directly but get to know you little by little without showing any sign that he's getting to know you. He's the type of man who draws ot maximum info through minimum question to analyze them most logically."
Elaine
" I want to know more about the RFA. I hope you can teach me a lot."
Jaehee Kang
"Oh, of course. I feel like we haven't properly introduced ourselves. We gave you nothing but questions. If you're fIne with me, i'll tell you anything you want anytime.😊"
Jaehee Kang
"If there's anything you'd like to know about us, feel free to ask. Either through the messenger or over the phone. I'll answer your questions as long as they don't cause any trouble."
Elaine
"Okay. Thank you, Jaehee."
Jaehee Kang
"Its nothing. To be honest... I feel more complicated now that we've talked."
Jaehee Kang
"Im even more bothered by the thought that you don't look like a bad person. But i believe i'll feel more comfortable once we get to know more about you, Elaine.
Jaehee Kang
I pray that day would come as soon as possible."
Jaehee Kang
"Well then... I will get going.... for the morning."
Elaine
"Okay, i hope you get to sleep even if for a moment."
Jaehee Kang
"Thank you.. Speaking of which... when do you plan on going to bed?"
Elaine
"Im about to head to bed. Good night!"
Jaehee Kang
"Thank you. Good night to you too. I'll see you again tomorrow.
Jaehee Kang
Now then, i wish you a good night."
Jaehee Kang has left the chatroom.
Elaine has left the chatroom.
Elaine
I guess i go to bed then. Its already 12 a.m.
Elaine
V, what brings you here?
V

Elaine
Oh.. Its nothing. Maybe you missed this apartment. Thats why you accidentally came here.
V

V

Elaine

V
Oh.. Anyway, im sorry about last night. I shouldn't come here..
Elaine
Ah.. Its okay. Maybe you're so familiar with this place. Because Rika lives here..
V
Yeah... I always come here when Rika's still here..
Elaine

Elaine
Ah, okay. I'll go there now.

All of them sit a big table. Elaine were so uncomfortable.
Elaine's parents and Jumin's father were having a lively chat while Jumin...
Elaine
'Why did he stare at me like that..?'
Jumin Han
Do you remember what i ask you yesterday?
Elaine
About what happened 7 years ago? What about it?
Jumin Han
Do you know what happened to you 7 years ago..?
Elaine look at her parents, but they didn't look back at her.
Elaine
'Why did he ask this private question? What do i tell him?'
Jumin Han
Ah, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
Elaine
Oh.. Actually... its a bit personal... So, i can't tell you about it.. Im so sorry
Jumin Han
Oh, its okay. I understand.
When they're talking, Chairman Han noticed them.
Chairman Han
What're you two talking about?
Jumin Han
Its nothing, father. I was just asking Miss Han Na about something.
Chairman Han
Really? Do you want to share with us?
Jumin Han
Its alright, father. I don't want to bother yoy with your talks.
Chairman Han
Haha, if you say so.
Chairman Han
Young lady, are you alright? You're so quiet.
Chairman Han
Alright then. But, if you don't feel well, please tell us. I don't want my future daughter in law to get sick.
Elaine

Chairman Han
By the way...
Chairman Han

Chairman Han
Yes. Jumin seems a bit cold to everyone he first met, but he have a good heart.
Elaine
Yes.. I absolutely agree with you,sir...
Elaine

Elaine
Because... he seems so lonely..
Chairman Han
I think you're right, Miss Han Na.
Chairman Han
Im glad that you noticed it.
Elaine
Ah.. Its nothing.. Its just.. i could see what Mr. Han need in his life.
Elaine

Jumin were very shocked when he heard that.
Jumin Han

Chairman Han
Oh right. Miss Han Na.
Chairman Han

Chairman Han
