Chapter 3 Brohood's Cafe

Seoul: Gangnam

Time: 6:00 pm

Hoseong was sitting in the luxury apartment and he turned on the LEDs. He listened to the news and smirked. The headlines appeared on the screen.

'The most expensive necklace was robbed from the Museum. It was an antique piece and the police said "A mob gang was involved in the robbery". The police were investigating the case, but some mob gangs gave them a hard time and the police did not succeed in arresting them'.

Hoseong smirked. Minho came out of the room. He said, 'Hyung(older brother) I want to tell you something'.

Hoseong laid down a little on the sofa and asked, 'What'? Minho said, 'Today I was working at our Brohood's café when the policemen arrived'.

Flash Back

The cops did a background check. Minho told them every detail. The police discovered they owned these branches.

They used to run their coffee houses around Seoul.

They were satisfied with the information and said that 'It was necessary to gather information from the public for security reasons'.

They did an investigation on Minho about his brothers. They asked, 'Why does your brother not appear in a café regularly'.

He told them that his brothers had their own jobs-. They interrogated him about the work they did.

He said, 'My older brother is a tennis school coach and my twin brother is busy with our agricultural business'.

They checked all the files on them and all the details were cleared up in front of them.

The officers said, 'These days, the mob gangs are targeting businessmen and they are taking business from them with a trick, so watch out for them. If you have any doubts regarding anyone in business, please let us know'.

Flash Back Ends

Minho laughed maniacally and said, 'Do you know what the officer said next'?

Hoseong frowned his eyebrows and asked, 'What'?

Minho laughed louder than before. The officer told me not to fear anyone because they're going to protect us. We must take action against the mafia. .

Hoseong laughed and TaeHwan entered the apartment. He overheard their laughter and chuckled. He called out, 'Hyung take this'. He threw the little bag to Hoseong.

TaeHwan stood next to Minho and wrapped his arm about his shoulder. Hoseong opened the handbag and pulled out a diamond necklace.

It was shining like a bright sun and he smirked. Minho looked at TaeHwan and said, 'Great work skywalker'. TaeHwan dramatically said, 'Thank you, Stunt Master'. The two laughed at each other.

Hoseong said: 'I was thinking of something'. They asked,'Hyung What do you want to say'?

Hoseong said, 'I always send you both on a major mission, but I think it will never work on new plans because the cops recognize Minho's style of escape. They discovered that whoever was driving a bike was a member of the tiger gang. I don't want to put your life in danger'.

TaeHwan blurted, 'Hyung don't worry, We are Tigers. It's not easy for anyone to catch us'. Hoseong shook his head with pride.

Minho stated, 'We will make new plans for other missions'. Hoseong smiled and said, 'First get your butt ready to meet Hea'.

Their eyes broadened and their mouths were partially open. Hoseong said, 'She is coming back. She will live with us and we have to make plans for her protection'.

Suddenly TaeHwan's face flushed and he became uncomfortable. He was in the process of moving when Hoseong stopped him.

He asked, 'When you hear about her, you become uncomfortable. You took care of her more than anyone. You were her best friend when you were growing up and you became cold with her when she turned 18. What's the matter with you, Tae'?

Minho said, 'Tae, it's been five years and you haven't talked to her'.

Hoseong said, 'She always talked about you. The day of her last birthday, you sent her a present, but you put Minho's name in it, Why'?

He didn't allow them to tell her the truth and she thought that he had forgotten her birthday. He sent her a present but did not let her know.

He didn't utter a word and Hoseong sighed. He said, 'You know I can't see her upset, you have to improve your relationship with her because she's also your sister'.

TaeHwan lowered his eyes and held his fist tight. He was going to say something when Hoseong's phone rang.

He took the call and told, 'Yunki, I'm coming'. He disconnected the phone and smiled.

He mentioned, 'Get ready for Hea's betrothal as well'. Minho said, 'Hyung, isn't this too soon for her? Are you sure that Yunki will be good for her'?

He smiled and said, 'I know you care about her, but you know about me, too. I can't trust anyone easily, and I've been investigating Yunki over the last five months'.

Yunki joined the gang a couple months ago but he gained Hoseong's trust. He tested him in many ways and he did not disappoint him in any way.

He said, 'He belongs to the underworld as us but he has no bad habits. He never even drinks or touches girls. He is always respectful and humble to the girls. He's a man of courage and a gentleman. I'm sure he'll look after our sister'.

TaeHwan clenched his fist tightly and said, 'What If she does not accept the Yunki Proposal'?

Hoseong laughed and said, 'Tae,are you for real? You don't remember our Hea'?

She was always supportive of his decision because she thought he would always make the right decision for her.

He licked his lips and blurted, 'Our sister is innocent and I want to save her from the world. You know why I sent her to the United States.

He sent his sister away because he didn't want his enemies to know about her. He sent one of his female gang members named Nora behind her who became her roommate.

Hea always believed that she met Nora because of fate, but they were the only ones who knew that Nora was secretly protecting her in previous years. She sent them all the details about herself.

Hoseong said, 'I know much about my princess. She'll never turn down a request when I talk to her. Yunki will keep her safe from evil eyes and make her happy'.

Minho nodded with satisfaction while TaeHwan offered no response. Hoseong left the apartment and Minho was about to say something, but TaeHwan said, 'I need time'.

He immediately made his way onto the roof. He sat on the edge of the building and saw the most animated city from above.

He enjoyed seeing the views from above. The bustling town was just up front. A cold breeze was touching his smooth skin and he sighed dejectedly.

He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and unlocked it. He looked at the photo of Hea.

He mumbled, 'H-Hea'. Sadness was clearly displayed on his face. He dialed her ID through software.

She picked the call and he heard her voice after five years. She kept saying, 'Hello, Hello'.

A tiny tear escaped from his right eye and slipped down on his cheek. His heart was beating fast and he immediately ended the call.
