“Do you remember the day you consoled me, saying ‘It’s not your fault, oppa’?”
“…….”
“From that moment, you were mine. And you think I would let you go just because of Jin Jae-i?”
His absurd words turned everything black before her eyes.
A trap she couldn’t escape on her own. The more she struggled, the deeper she felt she fell.
“Just stay by my side. Like this, forever.”
A minute and a second were dreadful enough, let alone a lifetime.
Kim Yu-jun smiled like a painting, easily spouting dreadful words. Ra-jin felt disconnected from reality as if under hypnosis.
“So, don’t do it a second time. Never turn your back on me again.”
“…….”
“Answer me. Okay?”
“I won’t. Not ever again.”
Only then, seemingly satisfied, Yu-jun’s expression cleared like the sun on a spring day.
Until Haeun arrived, Ra-jin had to make countless promises and vows to Kim Yu-jun.
Despite promising never to do it again, Yu-jun kept asking and reconfirming, even after stroking her head or bringing her water.
He was so persistent in his probing that eventually, Ra-jin had to pretend to fall asleep.
If quick-witted Secretary Hyun hadn’t arrived with porridge and medicine, who knows when it would have ended? For the first time, Ra-jin was grateful to Yu-jun’s loyal secretary.
“Unni, are you okay?”
In Ra-jin’s second-floor bedroom, Haeun stroked her hair and asked.
“How much did that psycho torture you? Your face looks completely drained.”
Haeun’s curse words felt like a warm blanket on Ra-jin’s heart.
“So what did Kim Yu-jun say?”
“That he’ll resolve the engagement and take over Myeongjin within the year.”
“And marry you too?”
She nodded but then sighed. Only eight months left in the year. What could she possibly do now?
God granted Kim Yu-jun a sensitive nature, but also the tenacity to achieve what he sets his mind on. His ability was the sole reason he could dominate the group, even considering his luck with the chairman’s arrest.
“What if I end up marrying Kim Yu-jun?”
“No way! Absolutely not!”
Haeun shouted, opposing the idea of marrying a stalker.
“I wish Prosecutor Kang Ji-ho would arrest Kim Yu-jun.”
“Prosecutor Kang Ji-ho?”
“Yeah. Even if he can’t arrest him because he’s the heir to Myeongjin Group, if he keeps making the news with summons or something.”
That seemed plausible. Even large corporations can plummet with a boycott. It was a convincing thought.
“Even Kim Yu-jun wouldn’t dare to abandon his long-term fiancée and marry you while his company is under fire, right?”
She wished it were so easy. But knowing it wasn’t, Ra-jin held back her words.
“How much longer is that special investigation or whatever?”
“About two months.”
Only 60 days left. Could she dare to hope?
The words ‘give up’ and ‘marriage’ simultaneously flashed in Ra-jin’s mind. No matter how capable Prosecutor Kang Ji-ho was, how could he tackle the vast Myeongjin?
“But have you contacted the prosecutor again?”
“Yesterday.”
“First?”
“No. He said he’d contact me after the hotel incident, but I didn’t reach out after coming home.”
That reminded her; Kim Yu-jun’s intrusion had interrupted her message.
“Why!”
“I didn’t want to cause any trouble. Besides, I already declined his help.”
Her already timid heart kept pushing Ra-jin back to square one. Haeun then sighed deeply, thumping her chest.
“Just help him secretly.”
“How, secretly?”
“You and Prosecutor Kang Ji-ho working together without anyone knowing.”
Is that even possible?
Ra-jin had only thought about declining Prosecutor Kang Ji-ho’s request, never considering other options.
“It’s a win-win. The prosecutor gets Kim Yu-jun, and you get rid of him.”
Win-win?
It sounded reasonable. Eagerly, Haeun poured out her argument.
“Your stepbrother’s sporadic visits aren’t good for mom’s memory either.”
“…….”
“Why stir up memories of someone who’s passed? It only hurts.”
These were issues Ra-jin had never considered. Obvious to Haeun’s distant eye, yet Ra-jin had been blindly dragged along. Her advice felt like bitter medicine.
“Use this chance to break away from Oh Jong-hyuk. Get rid of the useless manager.”
“Today’s visit from Kim Yu-jun, that was Taehyung-sik’s doing?”
“Probably.”
“Sigh.”
“The manager’s salary is known. Didn’t he buy another luxury watch recently?”
Ra-jin’s brow furrowed at the mention of backhand payments from Kim Yu-jun.
Neglectful manager focused on surveillance, exploitative director, stalker-like chaebol heir.
If only she could covertly assist Prosecutor Kang Ji-ho, holding the handle of the knife, and clean this mess in one go. Perhaps this was her first and last chance.
‘If I get Kim Yu-jun and Oh Jong-hyuk involved in an investigation, they won’t bother me, right?’
Her heart pounded at the dream-like thought.
“Can I deceive them all? Unnoticed?”
Even as she leaned towards it, courage eluded her. Ra-jin repeatedly sought confirmation from Haeun.
“Have you seen a celebrity without a dating scandal? Even two-timing ones.”
“That’s true.”
“But people don’t know.”
