3 The Opera

- in the club -

- Ah, you're finally here.

Caesar enters the room.

- Welcome, hyung.

Dmitry is Caesar's cousin and his best friend, he is also the owner of a club.

- I'm glad you decided to show up. Did everything go well on your way here?

He grabs his neck and pulls it towards him so he could give him a kiss on his cheek.

Caesar pushes him away.

- It took me a minute to get here.

- Why did you push me away? I remember us kissing when we were kids...

- That's because we were kids.

They both sat down and were surrounded by women and men.

- I know I tell you this a lot, but you should try to be a little more nicer. Who knows if he's ever going to know how to relax.

- So Caesar, How's work?

- It's going smoothly.

- Smoothly?

Dmitry tells everyone to get out with a hand gesture.

- Hey, did you see the documents for Zdanov?

- Of course.

- Do you plan on continuing?... Caesar, I'm the only one to hear all the informations you don't want to. I'm keeping quiet about this, but if the investigators find out something... That can ruin everything. This could all end badl-

- Do you think I'm afraid of Zdanov?

- No, you got me wrong. I don't think you're afraid of Zdanov. But in my opinion, there's nothing to gain from all of this. Wouldn't it be better to no longer get involved?

- To tame a tigress, you need food.

- ...Tigress?

- It was announced earlier that Mikhail Lomonosov has collapsed.

PN : Mikhail Lomonosov is a russian Polymath scientist and literature writer. thanks wikipedia aka life savior.

Caesar has stood up, ready to go.

- Yeah, they don't know what the cause is yet. He also doesn't have a successor.

- Russia will be in my hands.

- ...I suppose so. Cheers to you Caesar.

Caesar left the room.

- Did Caesar go into the room?

- Yes he did, I've prepared 10 people as you requested.

- Alright, you will need a lot of alcohol to get him drunk. Bring alcohol in from time to time and make sure to never run out of alcohol half way.

- But Dmitry, is he really dealing with 10 people in one night?

- Yeah, he's more of an animal than he looks.

Let's see how long this will last.

- in the park -

Well, I seem to stand out a lot.Not surprising though, considering I'm a foreigner in a countryside like this.

- The address seems to be right here.

The final wish my mother made before she died, this is a clue I've been looking for in the last seven years.

I hope it wasn't all in vain.

I knock.

- Who are you?

- How are you sir? I'm YN LN and I'm a lawyer.

- Lawyer...? What are you here for?

- I'm here because I need to pick up something. It was about 30 years ago... Do you by any chance remember a korean woman who stayed in this house? Her name is LN Soo Yeon.

- Hmm... Soo Yeaon?...

Is it her?

I came back home.

In the end, I didn't find out much...

- She was a quiet person from Korea. It's been so long that all I could remember is that she was like that. I'm sorry, I'm unable to be of any help.

I did say I'd look for someone who was close to my mother, but I was wondering if they would contact me. Haaa... I'm going to wash up and sleep.

I was about to open the door when I saw a letter under it.

- How long has it be laying there?

- Who does this belong to?

- This?...

- in a theater -

- Oh, you're here.

- I was wondering why you called me here all of a sudden. I doubt this is an appropriate place.

Well, it doesn't matter, but please give me an answer.

- You seem to be in a hurry. First of all, let's watch the performance together.

He hold my wrist.

- Excuse me ?
