Stranger's In Love
53|NEW SONGDO CITY

“Halo, Zean” says Hans.

“Irene kidnapped, Hans. I need your people's help to find her” Zean to the point.

“Sure, of course I will help you, Zean” said Hans casually.

“Contact me if you've found something” Zean said and the connection was cut off.

Zean thought. Isn't that weird? Hans's tone sounded very relaxed, he showed absolutely no signs of worry hearing the news that Irene had been kidnapped. Could Hans be with Irene at this time? Could it be Hans who kidnapped Irene?

No. gabe. Not likely. Zean struggled with his thoughts, for some reason his feelings were so strong as to suspect Hans Nicolas. But there's no way, that Zean knows Hans and Irene are good friends so there's no way that Hans's doing anything bad to Irene.

Zean gives up, tired of struggling with his thoughts and chooses to confirm his feelings and tries to contact Rey again and ask Rey to track down Hans' whereabouts.

A few hours later, Zean gets an incoming call from Rey. Zean hopes Rey gives him some good news.

"Did you find anything?" Zean to the point.

I heard a soft sigh from across. Didn't Rey find any clues?

"I'm sorry, young master. I'm really not sure if you're asking me to track down Hans Nicolas considering he's your friend, but this is beyond my expectations"

"Ck! Don't beat around the bush, Rey" Zean chuckled in annoyance, he couldn't wait to hear Rey's explanation.

"I think your suspicions are correct, young master. I tracked down Hans Nicolas' current position in one of the apartments in New Songdo City, Incheon" Rey said, before Zean cut the connection.

Zean closed his eyes for a moment then struck the steering wheel with all his energy and anger at this moment. Incheon, said? Hans is in Incheon?

Zean recalls the first information given by Rey that the car that kidnapped Irene drove to Incheon. Is Hans really behind all this?

There was a tinge of incoming messages coming from Rey, she sent out Hans' current location. Zean was headed there immediately.

Zean parked his car just near the apartment, he did not care and rushed in and headed to the Receptionist.

"Give me information, Hans Nicolas" Zean to the point on the gorgeous Receptionist with a nametag that reads Bella in her uniform.

"I apologize in advance, Master" the woman smiled kindly at Zean.

"We can't give our guests information carelessly to outsiders. Would you like to meet, sir? Have you made any appointments before, sir?" obviously the woman was polite.

"Huuftt" Zean exhaled a rough breath.

Not that easy, damn it. Zean seemed to think for a moment.

"Look. Hans Nicolas is my brother who came home. I'm here to impersonate him, can you help me?" Zean blinked one eye.

The woman immediately lowered her head, hiding the hue on her cheek.

"alright, sir. I'll check it out for you"

Without Zean noticing, there was someone watching him in the lobby. A man wearing a black t-shirt and hat entered the elevator, the man was Hans' man.

The man met Hans on the twenty-seventh floor and broke the news that Zean was in the lobby of this apartment.

"Sorry, sir. On the list we couldn't find anyone named Hans Nicolas" she said, apparently regretting it.

Not likely. Did Rey mis-track Hans' position? Could Hans be using someone else's name? Or what really happened?

Zean's phone vibrated with a call from Rey.

"Are you trying to play me, Rey? !!" sambar Zean was very upset at this moment.

It's already night Zean can't talk about the bad things that might happen to Irene. Zean still can't find his girlfriend. This longing, worry and anxiety was so strong, Zean wanted to give up on his mind that kept imagining bad things.

"Quick move, young master. Looks like Hans knows if you've found him. Hans's position moved just out of that apartment, sir" Rey explained.

Zean could smile for a moment, Irene was close to him. It turned out that his feelings were right, Hans Nicolas was behind all this. After this, Zean would never be able to forgive Hans.

***

Hans pulls Irene out of the apartment and takes her into a car parked in the basement. Hans never imagined that Zean would find him. It was impossible for Zean to suspect him, but it turned out that Hans's conjecture was wrong. Zean found it.

Hans's car drove off the apartment. Hans was driving at full speed. His mind was muddled thinking about where he should take Irene, where he would hide Irene.

"Irene" called Hans softly.

Irene just kept quiet, she refused to look. Irene is praying for her and the baby to be safe.

Hans glanced at Irene at a glance then looked back at the street. Hans was annoyed that Irene did not answer him not even turning her head in the slightest.

"You should look at me when I talk to you!!" snapped Hans.

Irene gasped in shock at Hans' high tone, but she didn't care. Irene preferred to stare out the window, looking at the asphalt road that was getting wet from the rain tonight.

"You can't ignore me, Irene" Hans blocked Irene's hand.

"aww. Sick, Hans" Irene finally looked at Hans and the man let go of Irene's hand.

Hans smiled, his eyes still focused on looking ahead.

"Do I have to be rude to you to obey me?"

Irene did not answer, she chose to give up and then fix her sitting position so she could look at Hans.

"Do you like the rain?" Hans asked right when Irene looked at him.

"Are you going to kill me in the rain?" Irene asked back.

Hans glanced at Irene and laughed. What kind of question is that, Irene.

"Do you really want to die at my hands, Irene?" Hans grabbed Irene's hand and gently held the girl's hand.

Irene just kept quiet with Hans' attitude, she couldn't feel anything. There was no love, no warmth in Hans' hand. Unlike if Zean did it, even just hearing Zean's voice was able to make his heart pound.

"Where are we going, Hans?" Irene asked to switch Hans' conversation.

"Eitherway. Would you like to recommend me somewhere" Hans chuckled.

"You kidnapped me and treated me like a psycho, but you can still joke around and smile like a joker" Irene commented seriously, not messing with her words.

Hans tightened his grip until Irene grimaced in pain and kissed the back of Irene's hand while still focusing on driving.

Irene was already tired of staring at Hans with a thousand times her strange gaze, she really could not understand Hans. Irene was sad to see Hans who had been her friend for years turned out to harbor feelings for her until Hans had acted so far.

Suddenly a car horn sounded as if asking Hans' car to stop. Irene looked into the rearview mirror, the car was no stranger to her. Is he hallucinating? Irene was expecting the car to be Zean's car chasing her to pick her back up. There's a horn again, no, it's not delusional, it's real.

"Shit!!" hans was upset and he increased his speed.

Irene slumped and spontaneously closed her mouth in shock that this was real, Zean managed to find her.

"Stop the car, Hans!!" pinta Irene, she's banging on Hans's arm.

"Shut up !!" Hans pushed Irene until she hit her head on the car window.

Irene did not give up, she tried to ignore the pain of the impact on her head and hit Hans again.

Hans was really furious, Irene could have messed up her concentration of driving.

"Stop hitting me, Irene!" snapped Hans.

Irene thought, Hans is too strong to withstand the pain of his punches. Seconds later, without thinking long with the rest of the power he had Irene pulled the steering wheel until Hans' car lost control and ......
