“Do you want me to?”
“Well, you’re still my brother-in-law.”
“Tsk, you coward.”
Jinho muttered, seemingly unimpressed with Yura’s light-hearted approach. Meanwhile, Director Kwon brought herb tea, claiming it was good for calming the nerves. Jinho conveyed the situation while the faint aroma filled the air.
“We’re going to release a clarification article soon. I apologize for the clumsy clarification.”
“What are you going to clarify? Osaejin claimed in an interview that he still loves me. What clarification is needed?”
Seeing that Jinho had nothing to say in rebuttal, he sighed with a helpless sound. Yura proposed to Jinho to execute her decision.
“Say that there seems to be a minor misunderstanding, that it was just accompanying the artist to the hospital. That’s it.”
“And then?”
“I’ll handle the journalists…!”
“No.”
Before the sentence could finish, Jinho raised his voice firmly. To anyone, it was evident that this was the most effective method.
Before rumors could spread further, Yura had to step up and correct the truth, for her own sake and for Baek Ihyun’s sake.
“Other than that, there’s no way to salvage this situation.”
“No one wants you to step forward.”
No, why does she need permission from others when it’s her own problem? If it’s not someone else, there’s only one person she could ask such a request.
“What about my brother? I’ll convince him if that’s the case.”
“Baek Ihyun dislikes it.”
Unexpectedly, Yura was at a loss for words in front of the name she hadn’t thought of. Because of her, things had become noisy, and the image of CH Group was tarnished.
So, the fastest way was for her to step forward and explain. However, Baek Ihyun dislikes it. Yura looked bewildered with only her eyes blinking.
“Ihyun will change the course of the game soon. Step forward when he does.”
When Ihyun reveals the truth, it meant to support him from the background. Why should she have to clean up her mess? She already had a lot on her plate, and taking on such a burden seemed too shameless.
In the end, this issue would lead to divorce, and would there really be a man who wants to resolve the scandal of his soon-to-be ex-wife?
“It’s my problem. I’ll handle it.”
“You’re Baek Ihyun’s wife and the lady of CH Group. So, it’s also Ihyun’s problem. Trust him a bit.”
Ironically, Ihyun didn’t trust Yura, and it was amusingly absurd that Yura had to trust him. Yura felt pitiful for not being able to refute anything in response to Jinho’s words.
In the end, Yura couldn’t say anything more and left the CEO’s office.
She had to go to the office, but her mind was so tangled that her feet wouldn’t move easily. After sitting on the emergency stairs for a while, struggling, she finally mustered the strength to move.
Fortunately, during the journey to the office, she didn’t encounter any other employees.
Regardless, when she stood in front of the office, her heart pounded, and she couldn’t easily open the door. After several deep breaths, when she lifted her head, she met eyes with Jihye.
“Team leader!”
Seeing Jihye, who had run towards her with a surprised face, Yura awkwardly smiled and entered the office. In an instant, her team members surrounded her.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“The media is making a big fuss.”
“Sorry, everyone.”
She poured out words full of concern, but all Yura could say was an apology. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she was about to say something, but when she looked up, she met eyes with Jung, who calmly spoke to settle the chaos.
“Team leader, please tell us clearly instead of just apologizing. We think it’s important for us, who follow you, to know the truth.”
“That’s right. We won’t argue about whose words are right or wrong, but at least let us know, Team Leader.”
At the words of Manager Jung, Eunyoung urged for the truth. Yura pondered on what to say. To her, it was the truth, but would they believe it? Faced with the truth even her parents didn’t believe, Yura felt herself shrinking infinitely.
With her lips trembling several times, Yura briefly conveyed the words she needed to say. She listed the key points without adding any unnecessary details.
“I used to be friends with Pianist Oh Sejin. It happened before joining Songrim, and we parted ways when he went abroad for studies. This is all I can tell you, the truth as far as I know.”
A moment of silence hung in the office. Yura couldn’t lift her gaze, staring at the floor with a fearful and trembling look. Then, Manager Jung took Yura’s hand. Unbeknownst to both, Yura’s hand, which had trembled ever so slightly, stopped trembling in Manager Jung’s warmth.
“I understand. Don’t be disheartened. It’s not like you to look so weak.”
With Manager Jung’s affectionate voice, similar to before, Yura raised her trembling eyes.
“Do you believe me?”
“I don’t know about anything else, but I know you wouldn’t lie. So, stand more confidently.”
Eunyoung, who was beside her, also wrapped her arm around Yura’s waist, agreeing with Manager Jung.
“We believe in you, Team Leader. Who else can we trust? Five years is not just a passing time.”
“Thank you. Really, thank you.”
Yura felt her eyes moistening. She felt ashamed of herself for not trusting these good people. She thought she was no different from others, just working in the same office, but now it seemed like they knew her better than her own family.
Thinking she had lived a false life without a confidant, she wondered if it was because she had built a wall around herself.
Although she didn’t have the courage to pour out everything and complain immediately, if she started making an effort now, this relationship seemed like it could improve.
Yura suddenly felt that her colleagues could indeed become good friends. So, from now on, she thought she should make this relationship even closer. Perhaps she hadn’t lost all her friends yet.
“Now, since Team Leader is here, let’s get back to work. Work!”
At Manager Jung’s hearty words, everyone swiftly moved to their respective places.
Quietly surveying the unchanged office, Yura walked towards her office. Just like Manager Jung said, as always, she walked confidently to her place with her shoulders back.
It was when Yura just opened the door to the manager’s office.
“Te, Team Leader! Th, this! This!”
Jihye’s shout echoed loudly in the office.
Surprised, starting from Yura to the other seated employees, everyone stood up and directed their gaze to Jihye.
