The Padlock of Destiny
Decisions

Kyuhyun's body was quickly cremated. His family who came to take care of the funeral only knew that he died shot by stray bullets while with Hyora. At least they did not lie about the cause of his death.

Kyuhyun's father, who was angry that his son was killed on illogical grounds, contacted the government for an investigation. However, the NIS stopped it and promised that it was pursuing the ******* that fired the bullet.

Cho Ahra, Kyuhyun's brother wanted to slap Hyora when the girl said that Kyuhyun saved her. He explained that their target was him. But when Ahra saw Hyora's face that was no better than her mother's, she just left.

Hyora looked at the tomb in front of her with nanar. Kyuhyun's family let him keep the man's ashes. Hyora was unable to spread her ashes, so she decided to bury them and plant a green pahon on them.

“Oppa, you go first.. I'll catch up with you later” He said to a small tree above Kyuhyun's tomb. He could not let go, in his heart Hyora thought that the tree was the figure of her lover who was still alive.

“After killing the bastard who hurt you, I will come after you”

Hyora walked away with heavy footsteps. He saw Eunhyuk who was also dressed all in black on a motorbike that was lying next to his car.

Eunhyuk took off the helmet he was wearing and said to Hyora, “Don't act rashly, you will only lose your life without successfully avenging Kyuhyun.”

“Oppa, do you know why they are targeting us?” Hyora asked, her eyes looking at the slightly overcast sky.

“To avenge the virus chip that we managed to steal.” Guess Eunhyuk.

“Hahaha, those fake chips are just the excuse they used.” Hearing that answer, Hyora laughed. His voice that contrasted with the complex atmosphere of the cemetery sounded terrifying.

“What do you mean?”

Hyora looked at their quiet surroundings. The two are still in the area of a public cemetery on the outskirts of town. He gazed towards the living Kyuhyun tree and told the truth that he kept in a low voice.

Eunhyuk who heard it widened his eyes.

“How do you know?” Ask Eunhyuk. He was surprised to hear a secret that even his best friend did not know.

“I've been suspicious since a long time ago, but only sure after getting the last mission.” Answer Hyora.

The girl looked back straight at Eunhyuk, a weak twinkle in her eyes made the man feel sympathy. If Kyuhyun had known, he might have quit the organization and disappeared with Hyora.

“Do not say this to anyone.” Hyora.

“Of course I won't say a word about this!”

“I'm serious Oppa, maybe I should disappear for some time. How about you?”

Hyora feels guilty about involving Eunhyuk, but she doesn't want the same thing that happened to Kyuhyun to happen again. He died without knowing anything.

Now Eunhyuk understands that maybe he is in danger too. He can't trust the NIS, but if he leaves the organization, he'll have a hard time ensuring his safety.

“I will remain at NIS, if there is a chance I will go out and change duties to become a regular police officer.” Eunhyuk.

“With your ability it will be difficult to leave NIS.” Hyora said doubtfully.

This man is among the top ten agents the NIS has. They will not just let go, especially He has a close relationship with other agents.

“I cannot rise after the death of my best friend, my performance decreases, see if they will keep me. If it doesn't work, I can pretend depression because of mission pressure.” Eunhyuk replied lightly.

Hyora looked at Eunhyuk in surprise. He would even pretend to be crazy to get out of the NIS.

“My dear sister just died. They should be grateful I didn't reveal their corruption to the public.” He shrugged his shoulders no matter what.

Hyora nodded in understanding. He said goodbye and left in his car.

Eunhyuk stared at Hyora's departure until the car disappeared around the corner. He walked to Kyuhyun's grave. There's no one left there. There was only the rustling sound of the wind stirring the trees accompanying him.

Eunhyuk took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He inhaled the thing deeply before exhaling it slowly.

“You have a very scary fiancee.” He said to the tombstone in front of him.

She might look calm in Hyora's eyes, but only she knew her back was soaked in cold sweat.

The mistress daughter of mob leader Castiello is indeed a terrifying identity. The largest drug cartel and illegal arms dealer in Asia-Europe. Their group had been around for nearly two hundred years. Even with the combined strength of all NIS forces in Asia Pacific, they would not dare to touch it.

What kind of fate made Castiello's descendants become NIS agents? From her words, Hyora did not know her identity from the very beginning. He may have just realized it when he joined NIS.

“Then are they behind your shooting?” Eunhyuk.

He thought that there was an internal split that made them kill the only daughter of the owner of the legend group.

But that thought was immediately eliminated. Castiello's internal ties are notoriously tight. There is only a 1% chance of an internal split occurring.

The only thing that makes sense is the mafia groups competing in the Asian market. Didn't they just get a mission to take the chips from them? The Robain mafia group is the main culprit they should suspect.

Hyora also said that the chips she took were fake.

The sound of footsteps stepping on the leaves from behind made Eunhyuk turn around in alarm. His hand had reached for the gun behind his back. He almost pointed the gun at a civilian.

“Excuse me..” A teenager wearing a high school uniform walks past him.

He brought a bunch of roses to the tomb next to him. Put the flower down and pray for two minutes before standing up to leave.

“Wait!” Eunhyuk who noticed her suddenly told her to stop. “Aren't you on a longer pilgrimage?”

“Ahjussi must be joking, today is the anniversary of my mother's death. But in two hours I have a very important test. So I'll just buy her a flower and say hello to her for a while.” The young man said with a sad smile.

The ahjussi? Eunhyuk's lips twitched upon hearing the call.

“Oh... Why did your mother die?”

“He had an accident while traveling five years ago.”

“I know... My best friend has just died, I'm in a very bad mood.” Eunhyuk responded and let the young man go.

The young man continued walking away. But as he walked three steps away from Eunhyuk, he turned around to brandish a pistol and fired it.
