In the morning,

Mino sets her down on the couch with a blanket. He takes a shower and decides to make a call to the office.
« Yeri sshi ! Cancel all my appointments and I won’t be at the office today ! Don’t make any call ever if it’s urgent ! » He gave his orders
« Yes… Mr Song ! » Yeri was surprised
« If anyone ask, just say that I’m working with Irene sshi outside ! She won’t be at the office too ! » He added
« Oh ! Arasso ! » She was more surprised
« It’s all ! See you tomorrow ! » He hang up

He goes to the kitchen and begins to prepare the breakfast. While preparing the breakfast, he is thinking about how to make Irene says who is the man. He is very curious but very angry at the same time. He wonders who want to hurt this woman. Why was she so afraid ? Does she hide something ?
He eats the food he made and leaves some for her on a plate.
He sits down on the chair in front of Irene and continues drawing on his drawing book.

He sees her moves but continues to be concentrate on his drawing until he hears her voice.
« Mino sshi… » She opened her eyes and sat up
« Last night, you called me Mino and now Mino sshi ! » He remarked coldly
« Then.. » She hesited
« Why ? Do you loose your tongue ?! » He continued drawing and it made her frustrated
« I’m sorry about last night ! And thank you for helping me ! » She put down her head
« So I think that I have the right to ask you an explanation about the situation ? Don’t you think ? » He lift his eyes from the drawing book
« I… » She began
« Don’t find any excuse ! » He stand up and she followed him with her eyes
« Mino sshi… I’m not trying to… It’s just I can’t tell you.. » She didn’t know what to say
« Here ! Eat ! You haven’t eat since last night ! » He put down a plate in front of her
« Thank you… » She took the fork that he gave her
« Eat and after you have to explain me everything ! » He sat back on the chair and continued drawing

She sighes and eats until the plate is empty.
« Mino sshi ! I think that I’m late for the work ! I need to go ! » She tried to find a solution to escape
« Don’t need ! They know that we are together and that we won’t be at the company today ! » He stopped drawing
« What ? Why ?! » She was shocked because she understood that she can’t escape
« You heard me ! » He just shruged
« I need to go to my apartment, I need to take a shower ! » She tried to make a big smile
« Ok ! Let’s go ! » He stand up
« Wait ! Are you coming with me ?! Why ? » She grabbed his arm
« So you can’t escape ! And maybe the man from last night is waiting for you at your apartment ! » He broke her grab

At Irene’s apartment,

« I’m going to wait for you here ! Hurry up ! » He took place on the couch and switched on the tv
« Arasso ! » She went to the bathroom
While she’s taking the shower, she wonders how she can explain him the situation and if she has to tell him the truth. She is very worried and doesn’t know what to do.
Since she doesn’t have to go work, she decides just to wear a large shirt with a short.
She takes a deep breath and goes to the living room.
« I finish ! » She said
« Okay ! Then let’s go to my apartment ! » He turned off the tv
« Why ? Can we discuss here ?! » She made big eyes
« No ! Because after we need to work ! » He told her and was fascined by her beauty
« Ooh… Okay… » She couldn’t say anything because Mino had the power at the moment

When they go out from the apartment, they run into the receptionist and a man with a black bag.
« Goodmorning Mr Song and Miss Bae ! » The receptionist bowed
« Goodmorning ! Who is he ? » Mino asked and Irene bowed to them
« Aah ! Since you asked for more security, it’s Mr Choi who is going to install CCTV cameras on your floor and checks if everything is okay about the security in the building. » The receptionist replied with a smile
« Then ! Thank you Mr Choi ! If you have any question, ask to this young man ! » Mino shook his hand with the man
« Yes ! » Mr Choi replied
« Then, we need to go ! » He took Irene’s arm and went to his apartment
« They make a beautiful couple ! » Mr Choi said to the receptionist
« Ah yeah ! It’s very fast ! » The receptionist shook his head
« Hum ? » Mr Choi asked
« Ooh it’s nothing ! I’m speaking alone ! Then where do you want to begin ? » The receptionist smiled

At Mino’s apartment,

« Why do you need to put CCTV cameras ?! » She broke his grab and followed him in the living room
« Because of what happened last night ! Do you have a short memory ?! » He said coldly and she lowered her head
« Sit down ! » He added and took place on the table
« Mino sshi… » She sat down
« Last night, it was Mino and now Mino sshi ?! » He raise his eyebrows
« Then Mino… I really want to thank you for yesterday ! » She began
« I already understand that ! But you know what I want to know ! Why this situation happened ?! And don’t make any excuses ! » He began to raise his voice and she sighed
« I don’t think I can say this to you ! It’s my private life ! » She was frustrated
« Yeah ! It’s your private life ! But what will happened if I wasn’t here ?! Don’t you realize your state yesterday ?! You was panicked ! You didn’t know what to do ! You was so scared ! You cried very hard until you fell in sleep ! I was the one who was here yesterday for you ! I was the one who help you ! So I have the right to know what happened to you ! » He replied back and looked at her with sincerity
« Do you really want to know ? Don’t regret it ! You’re going to have an different image of me… And I’m afraid of it ! » She tried to make him change his mind
« Yeah ! I’m sure about it ! » He said firmly

« Okay… At my second year of high school, I met my first love. I’m an orphan and didn’t know what was love. He confessed to me and I accepted to become his girlfriend. I fell for him and made everything to make him happy. We had a kind of destroyed love story. He was the one who made me dependent of him and he couldn’t live without me. I just was his slave. When he needed me, I made everything to join him. He was ready an rebel in our high school but he became more dangerous when he began to hang around with older men. He began to stop coming to school and only hang around the night with them. I couldn’t do anything… I loved him so much so I let him do what he wanted as long he always needed me and considered me as his girlfriend. I didn’t know if he was interested by my heart or my body but I knew that I needed to give him what he wanted if I didn’t want to be abandonned again. I was his prisoner. I let him do anything he wanted with me. » She stopped and saw the shocked face of Mino
« During the day, I worked hard at school so I would realize my dream and the night, I became his prisoner. When I said to him that I was tired or have had enough of this kind of relationship, he said to me that it was the only way he had to show me how much he loved me and I let him did it… » She added with a sad smile

« Why ?! » He let out of his mouth
« Because I thought that it was love ! If you’re disgusted by me, I really understand it… » She lowered her head
« Don’t worry ! Continue ! » He looked at her seriously
« During one year, I accepted this relationship until one night, he called me and said that I needed to meet him at an adress. I just followed him. We arrived in front of a building and he lead me to an apartment. He knelt down in front of an old man and I didn’t really understand why. More I listened to their conversation, more I understood that he lend money to my boyfriend and my boyfriend didn’t have money to repay… » She tried to hold her tears
« Mino… I don’t know if I can tell you more than this… It hurts me !!! » She curled up on the chair
« Irene aah… I want to help you so you need to tell me… » He caressed her head
« But you’re going to hate me ! You’re going to be disgusted by me ! You will ever want me to quit my job and this job is my only way to escape of him ! » She shook her head
« Then tell me ! Tell me what happened ! » He forced her to speak
« My boyfriend sold me ! He sold me to this old man ! He sold me for 200 000$ ! » She shouted to him and cried hard
« What ?! What do you mean he sold you ?! » He stand up from the chair
« He let me in this apartment with this man ! The man of last night ! I couldn’t go out from the apartment !! » She hold her knees and cried very hard
« And ? » He was horrified
« He… Nooo I can’t ! No I can’t ! » She cried very hard and hit herself
« He what ?! » He stopped her by shaking her
« He tried to me but I begged him to stop ! I couldn’t do anything ! He said to me that I became his property ! That I needed to make him not regret accepted this compensation from my boyfriend ! My only way to escape this night was to let him touch me… but he didn’t go any further because I begged him that I will find a solution to repay him back… I didn’t say anything since he blackmailed me that he will reveal to everyone that I was his property ! What about my scholarship ? What about my teachers ? What about the people who took care of me at the orphanage ?! » She hide her head on his chest and cried

Mino doesn’t say anything but just takes her in his arms. He lets his tears flow but doesn’t make any sound. In the apartment, the only sound is her crying.
« Why did this happened to me ?! I thought that he loved me ! I hate myself for being this stupid ! » She grabbed his shirt and continued crying
« You didn’t know anything ! Don’t cry ! » He caressed her head to make her calm
« Sorry… If you are disgusting by me… I can understand that you don’t want me anymore in your company… I can resign if you want… » She broke their hug and wiped her tears
« Why do you think that I’m going to be disgusted by you ?! » He asked seriously
« Because I let them use me… I let this old man touch me ! I let him observe me while I undressed myself ! » She made an distance between them
« Don’t ! I will never think that ! I will never going to be disgusted by you ! Because you worked hard to become who you are now ! Look at yourself ! You become one of the talent designer of South of Korea ! » He closed the distance
« But everything is going to be destroy by my past ! » She laughed sadly
« Why do you think that ?! » He frowned
« One of the reason that I didn’t want to come back here is because he threatened me to reveal everything if I didn’t repay him ! When I was in France, every months, I send him money so I can find my freedoom but 200 000$ is lot of money ! » She explained
« How much do you need to repay him ? » He slip from his tongue
« Hum… I think about 180 000$... This why I choose to come back is because Mr Song proposes me an important salary but I was stupid to accept it… Now I’m more in danger since I’m easier to reach for him ! » She bend down her head
« Don’t worry ! Just send him every months money and everything is going to be okay ! Maybe this month, give him more… » He tried to comfort her with an idea in his head
« Yeah… Maybe you’re right… I hope that he won’t come to make my daily complicates… » She nodded
« But Mino… Can you keep this to you ? I know that you already help me a lot but I beg you ! Please keep this secret ! » She took his hand
« Okay ! But promise me that if he comes again to you ! You have to tell me this ! » He held back her hand and she nodded
« Now ! Let work ! We already loose a day and my grandpa wants at the end of the week a few designs for his project ! Ooh do you want to drink something ? » He tried to reboost her
She shakes her head and he takes her to his study room.

In Mino’ study room,

She is amazed by his work space. It’s a big space where everything is white with lot of light from outside. Indeed, he has the beautiful view of the city.
On one of the wall, there are only his sketchs or creations. She is fascinated by his works.
« This is my work space at home ! » He smiled
« Waaa ! I’m very impressed ! » She looked at him
« Okay since today is special, I’m going to share my work space with you ! At the closet on your right, you can find everything you nee
