His mother, faced with her son’s tragedy, responded to the prosecutor’s investigation without a moment to cry, and his close sisters all distanced themselves from him, busily attaching themselves to the cousin who held power.
“Thought that was rock bottom?”
“…”
“So, is that why you think there’s nowhere else to retreat, and you tried to meet Ms. Jaeein?”
“…”
“What to do? This is the bottom now. The ground you have to crawl on from now on is your time to live.”
Smirking, Taeseo looked down at Jaehoon’s legs, seeming satisfied with the impression he made.
“Oh, but you can’t crawl either.”
“…”
“Here’s some good news. From now on, you’ll have to rely on injections until you die.”
“…”
“Good for you. You liked injections, right? They stabbed you like that in your legs because your arms were not enough.”
“…”
“Congratulations. Now you’ve become a legal drug addict.”
Smirking proudly, Taeseo took a step back, and in an instant, wiped the expression from his face.
“Yoon Jaein, don’t even dream.”
“…”
“Carelessly. About someone like you. Dare to.”
Each word he spat out was filled with force.
“I won’t allow even Yoon Jaein’s shadow for someone like you.”
“…”
“I will continue to watch you until you die. I won’t miss a single moment of you, who can do nothing, nothing but breathe, twisting and distorting in self-loathing, withering away day by day.”
Jaehoon’s eyes, filled with fear and terror, strangely swelled up. Perhaps it was due to a sudden rise in blood pressure. Before leaving the hospital room, Taeseo didn’t forget to offer one last piece of advice to Jaehoon.
“I hope you have the strength to bite your tongue.”
Leaving the room open, Taeseo walked out, and only Jaehoon’s screams echoed through the hospital corridor. There was no medical staff rushing to him, no one responding to his desperate cries.
“I’m really going to die! Jaeein, do something about Taeseo!”
Taeseo glanced at Amber, who was complaining on the phone, with a nonchalant expression.
“Jaeein, listen carefully. Taeseo is a devil.”
“Amber.”
“Run away while you still can. Taeseo is a devil!”
Taking Amber’s phone as she shouted for Jaeein to run away, Taeseo casually pressed it to his ear.
“Amber, Taeseo is not a devil. He’s such a good person.”
Smiling, Jaeein’s voice correcting Amber’s words softened his expression. Whether Amber twisted her impression or squeezed out a fake story, Taeseo paid no attention.
“I’ll be leaving soon.”
“Taeseo?
“Yeah. The weather is nice today. Let’s go out. I’m getting ready.”
After ending the call, Taeseo handed the phone to Amber. Amber glared at Taeseo, biting her lower lip.
{Why are you looking at me like that?}
{Look at my state. The ends of my beautiful hair are all split!}
{Did you think working for a company would be easy?}
{Did you think it would be this much of a mess? Do you know how many hours I slept this week?}
{Cheer up.}
{Are you saying that to make me angrier?}
Amber was struggling as the temporary CEO of Hyeonyang Construction. Despite her repeated deliberations to avoid laying off employees, she eventually raised the knife. There were too many places that needed attention, and it wasn’t just one or two places to tidy up.
As a result, instead of going on a date with her lover, whom she brought to Korea, she claimed to be sleeping in the office, cutting her sleep. Therefore, it was natural for Taeseo, who visited the office after a long time, to anger her.
{It doesn’t make sense how this company has been running until now.}
{Try your best. Don’t you like feeling a sense of accomplishment for saving a company on the brink of collapse?}
{Ha… It’s unprecedented. Moreover, you’re completely withdrawing, except for the work related to transferring to Kangseon Construction.}
{Well, I’m thinking of sorting that out too.}
{What?}
Amber brushed her red hair back and opened her eyes toward Taeseo.
{Let’s say I’ll leave for the United States next week.}
{…What?}
{Not for a trip. I mean, I’ll leave for good. It’s already decided. I’ve started organizing things.}
Amber, who had been silently staring at Taeseo, spat out a curse. Ignoring her familiar profanity, Taeseo didn’t even blink.
{Leaving everything to me?}
{You decided to eat it all from the beginning.}
{What about handing over to Kangseon Construction?}
{Well, my successor will take care of that. I’ve submitted my resignation.}
Amber, who stood up as if she were about to shout, “Are you leaving me alone in this mess?” looked at Taeseo with a silent realization. Then, she hesitated back onto the sofa.
{…You settled things with Mr. Kang?}
Amber referred to Taeseo’s father, Chairman Kang Shinjae, as Mr. Kang.
{There was nothing to settle.}
{…Taeseo.}
{So, here’s the thing. It might get tougher for you. Kangseon Construction may be uncooperative, and there could be interference from other external forces…}
As Taeseo explained the situation, he watched Amber, who had suddenly risen, crossing the office towards the back of the desk. After a while,
“…….”
Taeseo silently looked at what Amber had placed in front of him as her eyes became moist.

Short scene 2:

Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
