In the car, she was relaxing in the backseat when Charlie pressed the button for some chill music, and GirlPink's "Ice Cream" began playing.
"Stop there, boss. Oh, I love that song." Duri started singing with his girly and lusty expression on his lips, "...Look so good, yeah, look so sweet (hey)... Lookin' good enough to eat." while he drove.
"Aghh! - What the fuck! Are you fucking homo?!" Charlie was dumbfounded funnily.
"Pffftt… bwahaha haha," Loren laughed out loud.
Duri pouted with tantalizing eyes, teasing Charlie like hell. "You're so mean, boss. Can't I even sing?"
"You freaked me out with that minging look of yours. Damn! I almost had a heart attack. Why are you so into this GirlPink?"
"They are hotties, boss. I love all of their songs. You should try to listen to them even once." Duri teased more.
"Agh- fuck! The hell, I care. Just don't fucking sing that song again." he slightly kicked the glove compartment.
Loren can't stop laughing in the back seat.

They've arrived in the City Center of Seoul, and they start roaming around. However, Charlie and Duri ensured that no one followed them without telling Loren. They went to visit her friend in the tattoo shop.
"Mr. Park, it's good to see you again." Loren greeted and smiled.
"Loren! Annyeong. What brought you back to Seoul?" Mr. Park tattooed his client's back.
"I'm here because of Charlie." she smiled.
"Long time no see, Mr. Park," Charlie said in Korean.
"Well, you guys have a seat. This tinting won't take long."
Charlie and Duri sat while Loren looked around at the tattoo posters on the wall.
It was quite a busy tattoo shop for Mr. Park.

The four of them went to the street food market. Duri found a place for them to chill with their handy food, soju, and beers.
"So, how long will you be here for?" Mr. Park asked.
"For a month, I am just doing a tattoo on one of Charlie's friends," Loren said and drank her soju.
"That's great. What about back home?"
"Ah, my part-timer is looking after the shop. He emails me every day for an update."
"That's good."
"What about the two of you? I heard business in Gangnam is doing well?"
"Yeah, and I heard Hayul is doing some fishy work for Devil'sNest," Charlie said, and they looked at Loren.
"Oh, don't worry about me. Whatever you guys are discussing, I'm out of it. I am just here for my job."
"So you knew Charlie is a gangster."
"Yeah, stupid Charlie. But what can I do? He seems to love his work as long as he's not in trouble like before." Loren furrowed her eyebrows at Charlie, and Charlie awkwardly nudged.
"Of course, I won't be in trouble anymore. Our Boss is great, so let's cheer to that."
"Kampai-" They clang their can of beer and enjoyed their little camaraderie.

Loren was drunk, so Charlie laid her in the back seat.
"You should not have drunk too much, Loren," Charlie said as he closed his front seat door as they buckled up. Loren just waved her hand toward them as she dozed off.
They drove back home.
"Don't you think Loren looked pretty?" Duri suddenly asked.
"Yeah, she is. Why? Are you planning to hit on her?" Charlie turned to Duri with furrowed looked.
"Geez, boss. What's with that look? I have no intention of doing that. It's just that I wonder if you ever have looked at her as someone you may like." Duri seriously asked while driving.
Charlie got serious as he looked forward, "Loren is like my little sister. We treat each other like brother and sister. I am a runaway child, and she has no family. She helped me a lot during my most difficult time. So, it's my turn to repay her by protecting her while she's here. We never know what those thugs of Hayul are planning behind. We must keep our eyes open while Jong-dae and Nam-gil observe them."
Duri smirked and smiled, "Yes, boss. Do you think we have a traitor inside? How did those thugs have slipped those drugs in the skirts? They seem to know when and what time to go there that it looks like someone helped them. It's only us, and the boss knows all our in and out operations."
"We will come to know about that soon. My "rat" is quietly investigating those two," flicked his right finger.
Jong-Dae, and Nam-Gil, collected some money from the skirts of Gangnam. The unknown guy is quietly observing them. As Jong-dae and Nam-gil are together, one of their phones rings. It was Jong-dae's. He excused himself and went to the far end to accept the call. He was then being followed.
"Yes, the skirt is open tomorrow as we won't be here. Just make sure you pass on the overpassed bridge. There is an abandoned building with a garage where you can leave the drugs. How much will I get out of this?" Jong-dae said while the "rat" listened, hiding behind the big wall with his face covered in a black cotton scarf.
The "rat" could not get the information from the other party. However, it was clear enough to know that Jong-dae was the traitor.
