Despite being aware of Jongwon’s murder plan, Seoa had pushed for quick action and even threatened him, so she was sentenced to five years in prison for aiding and abetting in the first trial.
Thanks to this, Kim Moohan, Seoa’s father, who had dreamed of running for parliament after his term, had to put his dream on hold temporarily. Perhaps this lifetime was doomed.
Because of rumors that Seoa made the unavoidable decision due to her parents, who were aware of the situation, the public opinion was not favorable.
Seoa’s mother, who operated Hyosung Gallery, a gallery that had established itself as a representative gallery in Korea, also suffered a setback.
It was the end for those who were ensnared by misguided desires.
As for Hajun’s wish to touch Young Group, rumors circulated that anyone who crossed paths with Yoo Young would bow their heads.
Hajun released himself from the stifling cast and began rehabilitation therapy. Thanks to Seoa’s devoted care, he recovered at a rapid pace.
While Hajun underwent rehabilitation, Seoa visited Youngju’s hospital room.
“Unni!”
Seoa’s bright energy filled the quiet hospital room.
“You must be busy. Why do you come so often?”
“It’s to keep you company while my husband is undergoing rehabilitation!”
Seoa sat beside the bed, holding Youngju’s hand and spoke, causing a faint smile to appear on Youngju’s face.
“Oh! Unni, did you see the trial result yesterday? Park Jongwon received life imprisonment, right?”
“Uh… I saw it on the news.”
“Oh… I felt so relieved.”
“… I need to have my trial quickly too…”
“Quickly? You won’t step a foot out of this hospital until you’re perfectly recovered, right?”
“…”
“But Unni… I want to be lenient on you… because of your husband…”
When Seoa looked away and blurred her words, Youngju opened her mouth with a determined expression.
“Leniency? No way. Absolutely not. Don’t show mercy on me. Let me receive life imprisonment too.”
Surprised, Seoa’s eyes widened.
“Life imprisonment! Unni, it won’t be that severe.”
“Even if it’s not that severe, I have to accept the consequences of my actions. Don’t get estranged from your husband because of this. Your husband loves you too much, so don’t be upset. Let your husband do what he wants. Follow his lead. As a role model, no one will harm you.”
With a smile full of sincerity, Seoa nodded slightly.
“I will. Instead, I’ll come to visit often. I’ll also send letters frequently.”
“That’s too much. Just when you think of it occasionally. Even that will make me very happy.”
Youngju was sincere. Before losing consciousness after the accident, Youngju had these thoughts.
“I can’t die like this. Seoa will be sad, and I have to receive the punishment I deserve. If I don’t get life imprisonment, if Seoa allows it, I want to dedicate the rest of my life to Seoa and Young Group.”
Leaving the hospital, Hajun and Seoa headed straight to Hangang Park.
Originally, it was an appointment with Seoa’s friends, but Hajun, who didn’t want to be apart from Seoa even for a moment, decided to go with her. They planned to meet Seoa’s friends at Hangang.
“Let’s buy some chicken. Where should we get it from?”
“Hmph.”
Seokhoon, who was driving, chuckled at Hajun’s words.
Upon hearing this, Hajun alternately looked at the two with a perplexed expression.
“We can order delivery! Should we order now?”
Seoa brightened the phone screen and opened the delivery app.
“If we order for delivery, where should we pick it up?”
Complicated situations unfolded in Hajun’s mind. A vast Hangang with no specific location, multiple phone calls with the delivery driver, and a dramatic encounter. Naturally, all the chicken would be cold by then.
“Dear, isn’t this too much trouble? Nowadays, there’s a separate delivery zone! Let’s order from there and meet.”
Hajun’s eyes widened in surprise. He knew almost everything about the world of politics and business, even more than others, but he genuinely didn’t know about this culture.
“The picnic mat? Do we need to buy one?”
“You can rent that there too!”
“Alright.”
Hajun scratched his neck as if trying to look cool and ended up coughing awkwardly.
“Dear, beer… Oh! Right, not with your arm.”
“Let’s eat. Having a drink is okay. Chicken and beer are the perfect combination.”
Seoa’s raised spirits didn’t anticipate her smile disappearing. It was something she wanted to try with Hajun after confirming their feelings for each other.
Upon arriving at Hangang, they met Hyunjeong and friends.
“Husband, I mean, Mr. Hajun, I didn’t expect you to come, so I thought we’d dine at a fancy restaurant…”
“It’s my first time too. Am I an uninvited guest?”
“No! Welcome!”
Seoa worried that her friends might feel uncomfortable with Hajun, but they genuinely welcomed him, which was a relief.
“Seoa, did you order chicken? When will it arrive?”
In response to Hyunjeong’s question, Seoa checked the delivery app on her phone for the expected arrival time.
“In 10 minutes.”
“Then, Seoa, you and Mr. Hajun go get the chicken, and I’ll rent a mat and save a spot. You guys can bring ramen from the convenience store. Okay?”
“Okay!”
Before Hyunjeong’s words finished, the friends dispersed quickly.
Hajun found the scene bewildering.
“Why… Why aren’t they moving together… I was going to cover the mat rental cost and buy ramen…”
“To secure a good spot, we have no choice.”
“Ah…”
“We’ll go get the chicken.”
A little later, after the friends scattered in all directions, they gathered in one place again.
Hajun couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw the food the four women had brought.
There were five packs each of boiled ramen and hotdogs, and there were five different kinds of side dishes. Seoa ordered chicken, not knowing the variety, but she ordered three different kinds, including side dishes.
“All of… this… to eat?”
“This is just the basics! Mr. Hajun, have you tried this ramen?”
“No.”
“Sniff! It’s delicious! It’s on a completely different level from what you cook at home! You must eat this when you come to Hangang! Try it!”
When Hyunjeong handed him chopsticks and said this, Hajun picked up a bite of ramen. However, everyone’s attention was concentrated, and even the surrounding people could hear it.
“Keh! Cough!”
“Dear, are you okay?”
Seoa immediately handed him water and comforted him.
Meanwhile, the gazes of the friends were also focused on them.
“When you guys watch like that, it makes my husband uncomfortable!”
“Haha. It’s fascinating that the third generation of Taesung Group is sitting and eating ramen by the Han River. Why!”
Thanks to Hyunjeong’s loud voice, the attention of people nearby was also drawn, and everyone whispered among themselves.
Worried Seoa quickly tried to calm down Hyunjeong.
“Please be quiet.”
“Oh! Right! I heard Park Jongwon got life imprisonment! As expected! Just like chicken and beer are the truth, going to jail if you commit a crime is the truth!”
“Yeah! That jerk! Even life imprisonment doesn’t cool off that XXX!”
Suddenly, two other friends joined in cursing at Hyunjeong’s words, and Hyunjeong also began swearing at S Group and Park Jongwon.
As the unfamiliar curses filled the air, Hajun chuckled. Although the attention around them was uncomfortable, he was grateful to have such reliable friends by Seoa’s side.
“Let’s make a toast! Cheers! Hajun, the first-class contributor!”
Led by Hyunjeong, everyone happily raised their beer glasses for a toast. The voices were so loud that it felt like they were toasting with everyone nearby.
Then, Hyunjeong shouted loudly,
“For the truth!”
“For the truth!”
