Jason walked into the office that was prepared for him in the Paradise building. As he entered he saw Reginald Choi sitting on a couch waiting. His eyes perked up when he saw Jason by the door.
"Mr Choi." Jason stated curtly.
"How long has it been?" Reginald asked.
"Long enough." Jason said with a small smile. Walking into the room he sat opposite Reginald.
"I'm sorry I was too harsh on you in the meeting. I was only doing my job." He said warmly.
"It's okay, I didn't expect any less." Jason replied.
"So... you're finally taking you're father's company. Took you long enough."
"Well I didn't exactly do it on my own accord. I initially intended to grow my business more. But circumstances hastened my decision." Jason said.
"The actress?" Jason nodded. Reginald laughed,
"you don't even try to hide your heart."
"Should I? Am I being too brazen with this?" Jason asked, honestly.
"A little bit." Reginald laughed and Jason rubbed the back of his neck looking like a little school boy that was being scolded. "Your mother was right about you." He continued. "You truly are what Paradise needs."
"Don't flatter me too much, I haven't done anything yet." He said. "Also, I've been meaning to apologise, for what happened fourteen years ago. I shouldn't have condemned my mother, she was unhappy with my father and had every right to be happy with someone else."
"It wasn't your fault Jason, you were still a child. I hope you don't blame yourself for what happened to her." Reginald asked sincerely.
Jason gave him a small smile.
"You were your mother greatest pride, know that. And the only way to honour her memory is to live up to the image she had for you." Reginald said. "I'm glad to see you didn't grow up like your father at the end."
Jason narrowed his eyes "what makes you say that?"
"Look at all your doing to protect the woman you love, that something your father was not capable of." Reginald said. "So what are you going to do about your Fiancee?"

Jason pursed his lips, "I hadn't thought about that. If I am successful in taking my father's company tomorrow I wouldn't need to keep up with the charade." He stated.
"Well I guess this decision benefits you greatly doesn't it." Reginald said. Before Jason could reply he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Matt walked into the office with files in hand. "What is that?" Jason asked.
"The information you asked for in the meeting, this is what we currently have." He said.
"I'll excuse you now, let's meet for drinks some time."Reginald said standing up.
"Of course sir," he said standing as well. He walked over to his desk as Reginald left the room. Matt placed the files on his desk along with some pictures.
"So this is her manager?" Jason asked inspecting all the pictures.
"Yes, and this is all the information on him." Matt showed him another file. "So what do we do now sir?"
"He has three kids?" Jason asked looking at the picture of three little girls.
"Yes sir."
"That is interesting."

Jonathan frowned as he walked out if his father's office, he had been to the man's house more than he would have liked in his entire life. Before he came to the city he was always anxious and nervous when he thought about his father and his brother. He was eager to meet them, but it appeared they didn't share the same feelings. His father just saw him as a pawn he could use whenever he wanted and his brother? If he wasn't ignoring him, he was being incredibly intolerable. And now he was caught in between a crossfire. His father or his brother. Normally he wasn't supposed to be thinking of it and support his father, he would've have gladly done so a mere thirty minutes earlier. But his father has the guts to threaten his mother, a woman that only lived for him. Even after everything she had been through, she still loved him and never said anything bad about him to her son. And now? He was also using her for his personal gain. It wouldn't do, he hated his father for this. It made him angry to think this was the man he wanted to meet for so long. It was time to prove to both his father and his brother that they weren't the only ones that mattered, he was a human being too. And regardless of his being illegitimate he was still a Kang.

**************************************************
Tony ran his hand through his short black hair as he walked to the door, that must be the baby sitter he asked to look after the girls while their mother was on a trip. She gave him a long speech of needing time off after he abandoned her for most part before Jessie's supposed death.
He pulled the open, expecting squeals and little hugs around his legs, but instead he was met with and annoyed looking, handsome man in a suit so expensive.
Tony frowned "can I help you?"
"Yes you can, where is Jessie Marin?"
"What? I don't understand, who are you?" Tony asked with venom. Collecting the business card the was handed to him his eyes widened when he saw the name, Jason Kang.
"Why should I tell you anything? You're not going to get any information from me, so it be in your best interest to live before I call the police." He spat.
"And it would be in your best interest to tell me what I want to know." Jason warned.
"Why would I do that? Jessie is finally free from the likes of people like you. What did you think you would keep deceiving her? It was only a matter of time before she realized she was being played like a fool." Tony said.
Jason frowned. "Being played like a fool? Who? Jessie?"
"Of course, I know the only reason your keeping her in your home is because of Patricia Lee. You're keeping an eye on her, keeping her in check for you wicked little fiancee." Tony said with a lot of resentment.
Jason scoffed "is that why she left? Because she thinks I'm playing her?" He asked in disbelief.
"How long did you really think you could continue to deceive her?" Tony asked him.
'That does not make any sense, if Jessie really believed that she wouldn't have sent that text message or she didn't. If she didn't then someone else must've sent it.' He thought.
"Is that what you told her?" Jason asked Tony.
"Yes, I helped her see the truth so what?"
"So you lied to her, because if you really believed that yourself you wouldn't have sent this text message to me. I'll ask this only once again, where is Jessie?" Jason asked his voice low and dangerous.
Tony felt extremely intimidated but he was just one man. He could take him, besides if it meant Jessie's safety he would endure anything.
Jason sighed and motioned for something with his hands, Tony couldn't see what but when two men stepped out from behind he couldn't stop himself for stumbling a few steps backwards.
"I really didn't want to do this, but you must understand how serious I am." Jason stated.
One of the men behind him showed him the screen of a tablet. Tony eyes widened when as he watched a video of his three girls and their baby sitter playing in a small playground.
"I reckon I don't need to say more, are you going to speak or not?" Jason asked.
Tony bit his lip and tried to stop his hands from trembling, if this was only him he wouldn't have spoken. But his girls, even though Jason might not hurt them, he couldn't be so sure.
"Thank you for your cooperation Tony." Jason said after he told him everything. "You're daughters will be delivered to you safe I assure you." He stated walking away.
"Wait. If you're not doing this because of Patricia, why are you going to this extreme to get Jessie back?" He asked.
Jason turned around slightly. "Because I love her." He said bluntly, walking away.

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
