The Secret Bride's
Episode 129: Seconds

Darren tried to calm down. She is not thinking about herself and her past, all she is thinking about is Valerie. Calling Agent Black Bear back was no big deal for him. What is important from the past if his wife is in danger. He could bear it all, it was centered in his mind.

Darren turned to face each other with his two friends, Are who was behind Hyuk and Frederick also looked at Darren. "Are, send them a signal!"

Hearing Darren's orders, they were shocked. Even Hyuk had already advanced and held onto Darren's shoulder. "What are you doing? What if someone knows?"

Darren glanced at the hand that was on his shoulder at a glance. He looked into Hyuk's eyes. "What happened in the past?"

"You know that the past will hurt you if he comes back to the surface!" Frederick says. Although he and Darren had problems, he also did not want to see his best friend back there and hurt.

"The past doesn't belong to Lee Seok Hoon!" Darren said, firmly with the emphasis on his name.

They saw Darren's departure. Hyuk moved and leaned against the car lowering his gaze to the wet asphalt. While Frederick was still staring at the direction of the road that had just passed Darren. He then turned to look at Hyuk who was still lowered. "He's right, the past doesn't belong to Lee Seok Hoon! But-" He's back in silence.

Hyuk raised his head to look at Frederick when his best friend confirmed Darren's words. After they met Frederick's eyes again continued his sentence that had been cut. "But, the arrival of Agent Black Bear will again open doors that are not necessarily open. They'll surely realize that the Agent is back and Jeonsa's whereabouts will be detected."

"Well, you and I are completely useless apparently! Jeonsa will be back!" Hyuk got into his car followed by Frederick.

"Where are you going?"

"Go, follow Darren! You think I'm going home?"

"It could be, you said we were useless! You're stymied by that girl and I'm a foreign citizen, pseudo-"

"What did you say?" Hyuk. He heard Frederick.

"Please put his ears to good use! Not cool, you think I'm going to miss something like our dear Lecturer's love story? Come on, that's an easy thing to get."

"Don't say anything, that girl isn't who you think she is!"

"I didn't say anything! Very sensitive. Let's run Darren!"

They're driving all the way to Darren's security team. From the outside they were amazed at the design of the 6-story building. The building is a long cube with glass as the facade of the building. Looks aesthetically pleasing using high-tech acid glass.

Before going any further, someone from the front stopped the two. "Can I help you?" He said formal with polite and well-organized vocabulary.

"We have an appointment with Lee Seok Hoon. Is he upstairs?" Said Frederick.

However, instead of answering the question the man pressed his ear with his index finger, then looked back at Frederick. "Can I see your identity?"

Frederick didn't flinch.

"Identity?"

From behind someone patted the man on the shoulder and smiled at Frederick and Hyuk. "Sorry sir, we have just brought in a new employee and have not got an adequate coach. Sorry again."

He looked down politely at the man's follow. After misunderstanding they were taken upstairs.

"Where's Darren?" Ask him to Hyuk.

Ah, he forgot. It's like a habit.

Frederick nodded his head. He saw the wall in front of the painting of the woman he recognized as Valerie and the grandmother of his best friend. He had also thought about the resemblance but he ignored it. In this world there are several such things, twins who have no blood relation. Valerie found one of the few that she said existed.

Just like Frederick, beside him Hyuk also smiled at Valerie's picture. Then he looked sad afterwards. "Did I realize that Valerie is so beautiful when she smiles without the burden of the painting."

Frederick agreed.

"Because friends should always be on the lookout. I'm just going to understand Larry, not the others!" Darren came from outside. When he spoke his hand closed the door and he walked towards the two men.

"So your decision?" Hyuk

Darren saw the painting in front. "I, will not call the Black Bear Team."

The two men did not speak, they were still waiting for Darren to continue the sentence.

"I cancelled the signal to their hiding place. I'll make a negotiation with Sujong to have him exchange Valerie for me!"

"You want to swap it with Valerie? You think Sujong would agree?"

"The person she wanted was me, Valerie was involved because she married me."

"Darren, what's after? Valerie is pregnant, isn't she? If you trade yourself for him what will he think?"

"Please take care of Valerie, after this don't interfere anymore. I'll finish this myself." Darren clenched his palms tightly. He turned around again before coming out. "I'll prove, even after he gets what he wants everything hasn't changed. Valerie is my wife and Valerie is her husband. The woman thought, if she takes Valerie away then she can enter my house with the status of Madam? That was his nightmare"

"I'll make sure he wakes up and regrets having dreamed!" Add it and Darren goes.

He let go of all the hands that were holding him. While in the car earlier, he got information about Hyuk's residence. His best friend had brought a related woman from his past, if he asked Hyuk for help then Hyuk's promise to the woman's mother would not be fulfilled because this mission was very dangerous. While Frederick was a foreigner, it was not in his favor that he interfered and was again deported because of his problems. He also thought about the problems that befell Ho Young, the Wang Family and Lee.

Similarly, by asking for the help of Agent Black Bear. Her past is not important but the security of the Agents' families is unlikely to be taken away again. Everything has changed since the painful years. Although things have improved, they have not been able to get together and that is one of Darren's mistakes and responsibilities. With a deep breath he decided he would do it all himself.

.

Hyuk and Frederick. One friend was angry and the other was silent. Frederick had no qualms about helping. The debt on Valerie has not been paid off to this day. Her life was precious and Valerie was one of the people who saved her, so using her life now would not be too good.

"Frederick," Call Hyul after silence.

"Darren's right, this time we don't interfere."

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know what Darren's plan is but it's better that he face Sujong alone. Frederick, I know you want to repay your debt but now's not the time. Darren, he wanted to deal with this because of Ho Young, Jihyo and Leon's problems yesterday. Yun is kidnapped, Jihyo is almost divorced and Leon gets a threat. Not wanting anyone else to be targeted, he might decide on this heavy matter. Let's trust her and take care of Valerie."

Hyuk saw faith in Darren. Not that she didn't want to help Darren find Valerie but that she was afraid that her will and intentions would be a hindrance. He will secretly pay attention to the plans of his best friend and choose a gap that he can enter easily in order to help Valerie.

There was a sense of awkwardness, in Frederick's heart. But she decides to listen to Hyuk and follow Darren's wishes. He was silent but not silent.
