Sunmi sighed in frustration as she parked her car and got out, approaching the three men who were waiting for her.

"Young Miss, we would like for you to wear this vest just in case things go south." Minsung, Sunmi's head of security, said as he held out a bulletproof vest. Sunmi shook her head.

"I don't think I need that, oppa. Besides, there's no more time. Who knew the drive from Paju to here would take me more than an hour? I hate traffic." Sunmi complained as she looked at the three men in front of her.

"Are you guys ready?" She asked them and they nodded.

"Young Miss, if there are weapons involved, please stay behind us. Your safety is our main concern." Minsung told her again and Sunmi just nodded to appease him. They quietly made their way to the entrance of the boat where Sunmi peeked in just in time to see Jang Gwang stand up from a wheelchair.

"You killed her because she wanted to come home? I can't forgive you." He said as he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Ahn Ilgwon and everyone else stepped back out of fear.

"No!" Sunmi called out as she stepped forward, only to have Minsung hold her back. In that span of time, Jang Gwang pulled the trigger, shooting Ilgwon on the chest, right where his heart was. One of Minsung's men immediately stepped in to disarm and detain Jang Gwang while Sunmi and Minsung ran at Ilgwon to try and save him. The other one called the police to tell them about what happened and tried to get the others to calm down as they told off Jang Gwang.

"Hey, Ilgwon-ssi, can you hear me?" Sunmi asked the fallen man as he stared at her and clutched at his chest, already having trouble breathing.

"Young Miss, normally, we need to apply pressure to the wound, but seeing as that would just be killing him faster, I suggest pulling it out here and now. However, with no sanitary equipment to take the bullet out or plug the hole it will leave, I'm afraid there's nothing else we can do." Minsung told her as Sunmi kept track of the man's weakening pulse.

"I'm sorry." She told the man as he took his last breath. Even if he turned out to be the criminal, Sunmi couldn't help but feel sorry for the man who just lost his life. Minsung helped her up and they turned their attention towards Jaesuk who was angrily scolding Jang Gwang.

"You should've at least told us. We didn't know it was an actual case." Jaesuk said.

"Is he dead?" One of the suspects the other teams brought asked.

"He is." Minsung was the one who confirmed it. Sunmi looked at Jang Gwang who already had a guilty look on his face.

"You said the killer's voice is on tape." Jaesuk told Jang Gwang as he pressed play on the cassette. He wanted to confirm if Jang Gwang really did kill the right person or if he would still be after someone else.

"Dad. It's Mira. I now realize what's important in life. It's family. Dad, I miss you." It was Mira's voice on the other end.

"Kriesha, I'm sorry that you had to see your grandpa like this." Gwang told his secretary who was also Mira and Taesong's daughter.

"Grandpa?" Jaesuk asked in disbelief.

"The daughter?" Sejeong asked and everyone realized who she was.

"The granddaughter." Jongmin said.

"She's the granddaughter." Kwangsoo seconded.

"She's the daughter." Jaesuk finally realized.
