Inside the dimly lit living room with the lights off, Subin, sitting alone, blankly stared into the darkness.
She couldn’t forget the interview with Dajeong during the day.
Dajeong had said that she had lived her life graciously because of Subin. She mentioned wanting to become a person Subin could be proud of and striving hard for it.
The day Subin met Dajeong again on the airplane, she thought of this encounter as an opportunity bestowed by the heavens.
Because of Dajeong, Subin wanted to provide some comfort to her, who had carried the memories of the accident throughout her life. It might be an exaggerated expression, but Subin genuinely felt that way.
So, she approached. Despite knowing her own cowardly feelings, Subin lingered around Dajeong. When Myeongok reached out her hand, Subin blocked it, always sincerely worrying about Dajeong.
Sometimes, when Dajeong smiled at her, Subin felt as if she had been completely forgiven, and a feeling of gradually washing away the guilt enveloped her.
Perhaps because of that overwhelming warmth. Subin unwittingly failed to realize the different emotions that had seeped into her.
Excitement and attraction toward Dajeong. Subin rationalized the swirling emotions within her as the joy of being forgiven.
She liked her. Somehow, somewhere along the way, she had been liking her.
“Now, after all this time…”
The belated realization was pathetic and useless. Subin didn’t have the qualification to harbor such feelings for Dajeong.
Subin slowly averted her gaze. In her light brown eyes, longing had quietly accumulated. However, it was an emotion she could never convey anyway. Subin tightly closed her eyes, erasing the remnants of her emotions.
The only thing permitted to me is sacrifice. To protect Dajeong, to make her smile a little more. Emotions like love should not linger; only that must be given away.
But in doing so, ironically, I had to disappear from Dajeong’s side.
“Ha, hahaha.”
A mocking laughter, whose target was unknown, echoed low in the silent space.
Myeongok is never a person who will stop until she puts me in the successor’s position. If there are obstacles, she will overcome them, and if there is anything she can use, she will use it all.
To her, Dajeong is always good prey.
In fact, I had vaguely known all along. The reason Dajeong is in danger is ultimately because of me. But even knowing, I couldn’t admit it and ended up blaming Taesang for no reason.
Don’t set up pride unnecessarily if you can’t protect. Dajeong getting hurt is all your fault. Lacking the courage to face the truth, I chose the path of running away.
“Back then, and now, you’re always in danger because of me.”
Subin laughed bitterly, shaking her head deeply. She found her current self, who thought things would be different this time, pathetic.
“Why am I hurting so much when Dajeong is the one in pain…”
Endlessly tender and warm, yet for some reason, it hurt whenever she was near. It felt like embracing a cactus covered in sharp thorns.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t stop. Even if it meant becoming covered in blood, there was still much to be done.
He pulled out his phone from the jacket pocket. His face, making a call to a familiar number, sank heavily.
“It’s me.”
Silence flowed through the phone.
“She’s looking for where my mom is. …I’ll let you know where.”
After the call with Director Kim, Myeongok felt like each day was draining the life out of her.
What if what he said is true? What if someone comes knocking on the door at any moment? With such thoughts, she couldn’t get a proper night’s sleep.
Myeongok scrolled through her phone contacts with bloodshot eyes. The news of being rejected by Chairman Cha had spread far and wide, so not many were willing to answer her calls.
However, due to diligently sowing seeds over time, she still had some usable connections.
Deputy Seo, Prosecutor Yoon, Representative Kim Hanseong.
Mentally selecting a few names, Myeongok cleared her throat and pressed the call button. Representative Kim, who once bragged about his son being a prosecutor, might be able to confirm the truth of the rumors.
“Cannot answer the call…”
Oh well.
As soon as the signal beep sounded, it seemed like intentionally transitioning to a voicemail message, avoiding the call. Myeongok glared fiercely at her phone.
“You shouldn’t be doing this.”
If we were to count those who owed her, Representative Kim was among the few within three fingers. He had shown sincerity by going as far as acquiring a white painting that his wife liked and presenting it as a gift.
Yet, the first response he sent me was just a voicemail. Myeongok clenched her teeth and pressed the call button again.
Once, twice. Despite trying to avoid the calls, he eventually went so far as to turn off his phone. His attempt to escape seemed amusing, and Myeongok unintentionally let out a chuckle. However, that didn’t mean she would let the matter go without a response.
“Fine. I’ll go meet him in person.”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
