LOVING MY BOSS
Chapter 9: Touch My Family And Find Out
Rule #1 of threatening Kang Jae-hyun:
Don’t.
Rule #2: If you do, bring body armor.
Rule #3: If you touch my wife or kids, I will burn the world down.
Someone forgot Rule #3.

8:00 AM - Monday, First Day At New Job
Jae-hyun in a navy suit.
Not designer.
Simple.
But he stood different.
Lighter.
“Wish me luck, wife.”
“You don’t need luck. You’ve got us.”
He kissed me.
Kissed the kids.
“Be good for Mommy.”
Left.
9 to 6 dad.
10:00 AM - My Morning
Me: Mom now. Full time.
No more nanny contract.
Just... Mom.
Min-woo: “Can we bake cookies?”
Min-ah: “For Daddy!”
“Yeah. For Daddy.”
Phone buzzed.
Unknown number.
You shouldn’t have married him.
Blocked.
2:00 PM - The Call
Jae-hyun.
Voice tight.
“Soo-jin. Can you come to the office?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Just come. Bring the kids if you need to.”
2:30 PM - His Office
Small. 20 people.
But chaos.
Computers down.
Files deleted.
Angry clients on the phone.
“What happened?”
“Sabotage,” he said. “Someone wiped the servers. Stole client data.”
“Who?”
“I don’t know. But it happened 10 minutes after I logged in.”
He looked exhausted.
“I just got this job, Soo-jin.”
I took his hand.
“We’ll fix it.”
4:00 PM - The Letter
Delivered to the office.
No stamp. Hand delivered.
Inside:
`MR. KANG,
GIVE ME FULL CUSTODY OF THE CHILDREN.
OR THE NEXT THING I TAKE WON’T BE YOUR JOB.
A FRIEND`
Jae-hyun’s face went white.
Then red.
“Call the police.”
“Already did.”
“Call my lawyer.”
“Already did.”
He crumpled the paper.
“Whoever this is. They messed with the wrong family.”
6:00 PM - Home
We didn’t tell the kids.
Yet.
After bedtime, he paced.
“I can’t lose another job, Soo-jin.”
“You won’t.”
“I can’t lose you.”
“You won’t.”
He pulled me to him.
“I’m scared.”
“Me too.”
Tuesday - Police
Detectives.
Fingerprints.
Cameras.
Nothing.
“It’s professional,” the detective said. “Someone who knows you, Mr. Kang.”
Jae-hyun: “Board?”
“Possible.”
“Ex-wife?”
“Possible.”
Wednesday - Company Falling Apart
2 clients left.
1 investor pulled out.
Jae-hyun worked 16 hours.
Came home at midnight.
I waited up.
“Eat something.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“You have to be.”
He ate.
Because I asked.
Thursday - The Second Threat
At the kids’ school.
Note in Min-woo’s backpack.
YOUR MOMMY ISN’T YOUR MOMMY.
Min-woo cried.
“Is it true, Mommy?”
I held him.
“No, baby. I’m your mommy. Forever.”
Jae-hyun was furious.
“Whoever did this. I swear to god.”
Friday - We Fight Back
He called a meeting.
All 18 employees.
“I’m sorry this happened. But we’re not quitting. We’re rebuilding. From scratch. Tonight.”
They stayed.
Until 2 AM.
Rebuilding servers.
Calling clients.
I brought dinner.
Kimbap. Coffee.
For everyone.
One employee: “Mrs. Kang, you didn’t have to.”
“Yes I did. This is my family too.”
Saturday - Home Security
Cameras.
New locks.
Alarm.
Jae-hyun checked every window.
“Paranoid?” I asked.
“Protective,” he said.
Sunday - The Breakthrough
IT guy found it.
IP address.
Traced it.
To a building downtown.
Owned by: KW CONSTRUCTION
The board.
Again.
Jae-hyun showed the police.
“Arrest them.”
“We need more proof.”
Monday - He Makes A Choice
He called the board chairman.
On speaker.
Me there.
“You did this.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Give me the kids and I’ll give you the company? That’s your plan?”
“The company is already mine.”
“Then why threaten my family?”
Silence.
Then: “You should’ve signed the papers, Jae-hyun.”
Click.
Jae-hyun looked at me.
“I’m done playing nice.”
Tuesday - The Plan
He didn’t go to the police.
He went to the press.
With proof.
EX-KW BOARD SABOTAGES NEW COMPANY. THREATENS CHILDREN.
News exploded.
Stock in KW crashed.
Board members resigned.
Chairman arrested.
Wednesday - It Stops
No more letters.
No more calls.
Company stabilized.
Clients came back.
At dinner, he was quiet.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
“I’m tired of fighting,” he said.
“Then let’s rest.”
Thursday - Family Night
No phones.
No news.
Just us.
Board games.
Pizza.
Min-ah: “Are the bad guys gone, Daddy?”
Jae-hyun: “Yes, princess. Daddy made sure.”
Min-woo: “You’re the best dad.”
Jae-hyun: “I’m the luckiest dad.”
He looked at me.
“My luckiest thing.”
11:00 PM - Bedroom
He held me tight.
“I thought I lost everything. Again.”
“You didn’t.”
“I know. Because I have you.”
He kissed me.
Slow.
Safe.
Like coming home.
“I’m not scared anymore,” he whispered.
“Good.”
“Because I’m never letting go.”
