Chapter 7: Chapter 7 - Fake Death

The white horizon in the east started to disappear, and the sun revealed itself accompanied by the sound of birds chirping, showing that it was morning.

Hong Dae watches a video on his cellphone while lying on a luxurious king-sized bed in his room that looks full of luxurious types of furniture.

What Hong Dae saw on his cell phone was a news broadcast that reported his death along with interviews with several women who claimed to be his illegitimate wives.

"People... as we know... Hong Dae, the owner and the CEO of the Moonlight Company passed away on Tuesday, the 1st of May, 2040. His death became news that was so shocking all over the world because it was so unexpected," said the female presenter in the video that Hong Dae watched on his cell phone.

"Hmm... unexpected? But I feel like there were a lot of people expecting that to happen, right? Because as soon as the news of my death was announced, a lot of women from all over the world came flocking to my residence carrying their children and claiming that they were my illegitimate wives and child," Alex in Hong Dae's body thought in his mind while frowning.

"The following are some women with their children who claim to be Hong Dae's illegitimate wives and children," the female presenter said followed by a video transition.

"He abandoned me along with my son, isn't he so cruel?" said a woman while hugging her son.

The woman looks to have blonde hair with brownish-black eyes, while her son has jet-black hair and brownish-yellow eyes.

"What the heck? I'm cruel? How can I be such a cruel person to her when I have never even met her? Hong Dae also doesn't have any memory about her," Alex in Hong Dae's body nagging in his mind.

There was another transition video, and this time, it showed a woman with jet-black hair with dark brown eyes.

She was with her son who also had jet-black hair and dark brown eyes.

"Just so you know! I'm the REAL illegitimate WIFE of Hong Dae. And this is his REAL illegitimate CHILD too... so, we should be entitled to his INHERITANCE too, right?" the woman said while emphasizing a few words as she showed her son to the camera.

"Who else is this bitch? What does she mean to emphasize the words real, wife, child, and inheritance? She really wants Hong Dae's inheritance, huh?" Alex in Hong Dae's body complains in his mind as he sat up.

"Sebastian," Hong Dae called out to Sebastian who wasn't in the room.

Footsteps were so loud coming from behind Hong Dae's room door and suddenly, the door opened accompanied by the appearance of Sebastian with a gasping breath.

"What's wrong, master Hong Dae?! Are you feeling unwell again?!" Sebastian shouted in panic while he ran towards Hong Dae.

"I'm fine Sebastian... look, I'm healthy like this.. how can you say I'm not feeling well?" Hong Dae said as he got off his bed.

When Hong Dae passed out in his office room, Sebastian was the first person to come to his office room and helped him.

At that time, Sebastian initially intended to bring lunch for Hong Dae because he hadn't had breakfast at all since morning.

However, due to traffic jams, Sebastian is late, and he ends up seeing Hong Dae unconscious on the floor of his office room.

Sebastian immediately pressed the emergency button and various units started arriving in front of the Moonlight Company office building.

Sebastian broke the window in Hong Dae's office room and then carried Hong Dae in his arms.

Sebastian jumped from the highest floor of the Moonlight Company office building.

Sebastian pulled the small pocket that was in the back of his pants and a parachute emerged from it.

Sebastian lands safely with Hong Dae on a pile of mattresses that the firefighter unit has prepared.

As soon as Sebastian and Hong Dae landed, the medical units rushed toward them.

The medical unit immediately checked Sebastian and Hong Dae.

The police unit controlled the crowd of people around the office building.

No people or journalists are allowed to approach or take photos.

The police unit said that they will imprison anyone who tries to take photos of the incident.

The medical unit declared Sebastian healthy, while they declared Hong Dae to be exhausted because he was overworked.

Sebastian who heard that tried to approach Hong Dae who was wearing a breathing apparatus, but he was not allowed to approach Hong Dae by the police unit.

The medical unit brought Hong Dae into an ambulance and they rushed him to the best hospital in the country, Midas Hospital for hospitalization.

The next day, Hong Dae's father and Sebastian visit Hong Dae who is said to have regained consciousness at Midas Hospital.

The first thing Hong Dae said to his father and Sebastian was, "I'm tired, I just want to quit my work."

What Hong Dae said was not what he would normally say, if it was the real Hong Dae, which Alex was trying to imitate, he would definitely say that he would be back at work soon.

Alex accidentally said that, but because he thought it should be possible, he didn't take his words back.

Hearing Hong Dae's words, his father and Sebastian slapped their foreheads.

"Oi... old man, take care of the Moonlight Company, but all the assets are still in my name," Alex said to Hong Dae's father as he turned his face toward him.

"Alright, anything for my beloved son," Hong Dae's father replied while smiling at his son.

Unlike Hong Dae who thinks his father hates him, Alex knows very well that Hong Dae's father really loves his son from the bottom of his heart.

So, in reality, Hong Dae's father really loves his son, unfortunately, he rarely makes time for his son because he is too busy taking care of his trading company.

He sometimes also finds it difficult to convey his feelings to his son so that his son, Hong Dae, misunderstands his father.

"Then for you, Sebastian, tell the media that I have passed away, I'm sick of all this," Hong Dae said to Sebastian as he turned his face to Sebastian.

Hearing what Hong Dae had just said, Hong Dae's father and Sebastian were astonished by him.

However, because it was Hong Dae himself who asked them, his father and Sebastian believe Hong Dae has his own reasons.

"Understood, master Hong Dae, I'll do it right away," Sebastian replied to Hong Dae's order.

Sebastian immediately carried out orders from Hong Dae and his father took over the Moonlight Company and all of its assets, but these assets were still in Hong Dae's name.

A few days later, Hong Dae was declared to be healthy by the Midas Hospital and he was allowed to go home.
