As Soocheol poured out curses, he couldn’t help but swallow his words, feeling the cold gaze watching him from behind.
In an instant, YooSong, to which I had dedicated my entire life, collapsed. Not only did we not make a profit equivalent to the current investment, but we were also in the negatives.
Moreover, hearing that YooSong employees were submitting resignations one after another was enough to drive him crazy.
But he couldn’t do anything here. The police chief who had taken my money pretended not to know me.
How much money have I poured in! When giving it, they happily took it, but now they pretend not to know when it’s all falling apart!
Moreover, unable to see Yeonsil anymore, resentment surged.
The moment I leave, I won’t let Kang Minhyuk and Hahndaehyun breathe easily.
“You need to handle my affairs instead of me. Go right now…”
“You shut up, you bastard.”
“What?”
Soocheol, who was about to ask to meet Hahndaehyun, lost his words for a moment due to the curse coming out of the chief secretary’s mouth.
The chief secretary wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, removing the embarrassed expression and crossing one leg, stared at Soocheol.
“Well, what are you going to do?”
“Are you crazy?!”
“Now, it seems this tiresome affair is finally coming to an end.”
Even the audacity beyond the chief secretary’s tolerance made Soocheol raise his voice again. Upon hearing this, the police officer behind him warned with a cough.
“I’ve been working hard under you, keeping an eye and living cautiously. This criminal, XX.”
The blood vessels in Soocheol’s eyes burst. Due to the force Soocheol exerted on his face, it turned reddish.
“What the hell are you, you bastard?!”
“Me? I’m the competent chief secretary who serves you faithfully. Oh, if you were to ask who leaked information about the embezzlement of YooSong funds to Chairman Kang and helped Kang Minhyuk obtain evidence of YooSong’s financial irregularities.”
The chief secretary took off his glasses and smirked.
“That’s right, Chairman. That’s it.”
With a smug expression, the chief secretary, who pulled up the corners of his mouth, made Soocheol want to rush over and tear that smiling face apart.
Indeed, that bastard took Kang Minhyuk’s side.
“How did you…?”
“At first, I sincerely respected Chairman. However, as the crimes piled up, when I felt conflicted about whether I should believe and follow this person, I met Chairman Kang.”
“What are you talking about?”
Whom did he meet? Chairman Kang? Not Kang Minhyuk?
“Well, since then, you know?”
The chief secretary added that he had been looking forward to the day he would reveal his identity. He even praised himself, marveling at the miracle of being under Soocheol for over ten years.
“I became Chairman Kang’s man.”
Soocheol was too bewildered to get angry. To think that he, who had been under Soocheol for over ten years, was Chairman Kang’s man. At that moment, Soocheol felt dizzy.
“But now that Chairman is no longer here, there’s no reason to follow anymore. Still, as Chairman requested, I planned to finish my role. Now, I plan to do some farming or something.”
The chief secretary, who had taken out an envelope since entering the visitation room, showed it to Soocheol.
Resignation letter.
Soocheol convulsed with rage at the chief secretary’s betrayal, feeling a spasm.
“How could you… I trusted you so much, even after all.”
“Oh, how I wish you never come out of prison and rot away, not further polluting society.”
Whether he said it or not, the chief secretary put down the resignation letter, checked the remaining time, and stood up.
Then, with the last courtesy, he bent his waist towards Soocheol.
“I’ll bid my final farewell. Hwan Chairman, no, Hwan Soocheol. I hope you pay your penance well.”
Until the chief secretary left the visitation room, Soocheol didn’t utter a word with a dazed expression. The police officer grabbed Soocheol’s frozen biceps and dragged him out as soon as the chief secretary left.
Dahyun closed her eyes, feeling the sea breeze in front of her. The warm sunlight was intense, but the cold had not completely faded away. She and Minhyuk had returned to Yangyang in Gangwon Province.
While looking at the blue sea, Dahyun waited for Minhyuk, who had gone to buy a warm chocolate latte at a cafe, sitting on a rocking chair.
It is difficult to walk the path of success steadily. However, even though the uphill journey was difficult, going up and down was remarkably easy.
Currently, Soocheol’s situation was like that. Unknowingly, he was falling downward.
He had utterly collapsed.
The media was buzzing about why Soocheol, who had confined his former wife, didn’t refute the reason. Of course, Dahyun, too, was on a roller coaster of emotions. Mostly sympathy. Occasionally, there were comments that Yunsil’s decision was foolish.
Minhyuk told her not to pay attention to those insensitive comments and not to look at them.
Dahyun agreed with him. She didn’t want to waste emotions on people whose faces and ages she didn’t even know.
Yunsil fell asleep next to the person she loved. Dahyun found a photo in the Bong-andan where her biological father was buried.
There were three pictures: Yunsil smiling with a V sign when she was young, and next to her, a man, my biological father, looking at Yunsil affectionately.
“I’m back.”
Something warm touched Dahyun’s cheek, interrupting her thoughts, and then dropped. She turned her head to look at Minhyuk and smiled.
“You’re here? You came quickly.”
“There were no customers. By the way, isn’t it cold? Just drink inside.”
“It’s okay; I wore warm clothes, so it’s not cold. Minhyuk, please sit.”
Dahyun received the warm chocolate latte. Minhyuk sat beside her. Dahyun exhaled lazily at the warmth spreading in her palm. Worried that she might feel cold, Minhyuk tightly wrapped the scarf around her neck.
Drinking the chocolate latte, Dahyun thought of Yunsil. Even if she thought about her every day, she never got tired of it and only wanted to see her more.
I’ll live embracing this longing for the rest of my life. Dahyun hoped that this longing would eventually become familiar.
“Mom will be happy now. She met someone she loves.”
“Yes, she will be.”
Dahyun gazed at the gently waving sea, leaning her head lightly on Minhyuk’s shoulder.
It was truly a peaceful and serene time in a long while.
