Green, who had been busy responding to the dating rumor with Morgan that broke in the morning, flinched momentarily at the phone call from her mother-in-law Park In Young.
No matter how innocent Green was, her mother-in-law would inevitably be difficult in the current situation.
“Yes, mother. I was just about to contact you. You must have been very surprised by the article, right?”
“Yes… I’m sorry for causing you concern.”
In Young asked Green, who was feeling ashamed, in a slightly worried voice.
“What? Why is he suing father?”
Green felt anxious. Han Moon Taek had spent his whole life digging up dirt on politicians, so this Choi Geunsik person was probably one of his victims.
“…I suppose so.”
From In Young’s busy position, it would be understandable if she felt annoyed with Green. But despite her dry and stiff tone, she was concerned for Green.
Seeing In Young like this reminded Green of Sun Woo, and she choked up. Trying not to cry, Green barely managed to answer.
“Yes, mother. I’ll do my best to handle this too. I’m sorry, and thank you.”
Having finished her business, In Young hung up without delay. Green let out a light sigh and called Han Moon Taek.
Seeing Han Moon Taek still flailing about, Green had to stifle a sigh.
“Where are you now?”
“I’ll be right there.”
At first, she planned to question him over the phone, but something was bothering her. It was because of what her mother’s caregiver had told her a few days ago.
“He was drunk and cried for a long time. He sobbed, saying ‘I’m sorry, I thought I could catch it this time, but I think I failed again, I’m so ashamed.'”
It was surprising enough that her father, who had neglected her mother for over five years, suddenly visited the hospital room, but what he said while crying was even more shocking.
Green felt that this incident must be related to Assemblyman Choi Geunsik’s lawsuit. That’s why she wanted to meet in person to hear the truth.
But the moment she stepped out of the studio building, she was taken aback. Reporters who had been waiting ambushed her from all directions, surrounding her.
“Are you Han Green? What is your relationship with model Morgan?”
“Does Director Jin Sun Woo know about this too? What does your in-laws at K1 Construction say?”
Faced with reporters swarming like bees, thrusting microphones and cameras at her, Green froze for a moment.
“Ms. Han Green? Ms. Han Green!”
Her head was buzzing, and everything happening felt completely unreal. Just as she wanted to give up everything, In Young’s voice echoed like an auditory hallucination.
“Brace yourself.”
Green, who had been lowering her head and avoiding the reporters’ questions and cameras, suddenly straightened her body and looked directly at the reporters.
The reporters, who had been firing questions non-stop, fell silent.
“There will be an official statement about that article soon. What I can clearly say is that the article is absolutely not true.”
After finishing her statement, Green tried to leave quickly, but the reporters, like predators with their prey, continued to follow her and bombard her with questions.
At that moment, a car rushed over and stopped in front of Green. She immediately recognized it as Hannah’s car.
“Green, hurry!”
At Hannah’s shout, Green opened the passenger door and got in. The car sped off before the door was fully closed.
“Are you okay?”
“No.”
Green answered honestly to Hannah’s worried question. She didn’t want to pretend to be okay even to her friend.
Without a word, Hannah reached out her right arm and stroked Green’s shoulder.
Just then, Green’s phone rang. It was Secretary Na Mi Ran.
“What? Director Jang Hyun Soo personally?”
Green was a bit surprised to hear that Director Jang Hyun Soo, who rarely gets directly involved, had made a move. It also meant that he was taking this incident very seriously.
“That’s a relief. Thank you for your hard work.”
As Green finished her call with Secretary Na Mi Ran, Hannah looked at her and asked.
“There will be reporters swarming your house, and Jenny’s place has better security, so let’s stay there until things calm down.”
“I was going to see my father…”
“Now? No, now’s not a good time.”
Agreeing with Hannah’s words, Green sent a text message to Han Moon Taek explaining the situation.
Upon arriving at Jenny’s house, Hannah moved around the empty house as if it were her own, ordering various delivery foods.
“You haven’t eaten anything yet, right? Let’s eat and cheer up!”
At Hannah’s urging, Green forced herself to stuff food into her mouth. Suddenly, she thought of Sun Woo. How frustrating it must be for him to hear about his wife’s absurd dating rumor in a far-off land!
As Green was about to call Sun Woo right away, Hannah stopped her.
“It’s 11 AM here, so it’s dawn there, right? Is this good news worth waking him up for?”
Seeing the logic in Hannah’s words, Green just left a brief text message.
While Green was forcing herself to swallow food, Hannah was busily searching for articles. Just past noon, Hannah’s eyes lit up with a triumphant expression.
“Morgan’s side has released an explanatory article!”
“Really?”
The explanatory material prepared by Director Jang Hyun Soo was flawlessly clean.
It stated that the dating rumor between Green and Morgan was groundless, and that the two had been friends since Morgan was 17. The problematic photo was from a dinner with other staff members after finishing Morgan’s photo shoot in Thailand a year ago, and the person who took the photo was identified as the lighting director at the time.
The lighting director, who was named, provided an interview testimony stating that he took the photo himself and that there were over 10 staff members present at the scene.
Despite this incident, the article concluded by saying that the friendship between the two remains unchanged, and that Green is helping Morgan with his Paris collection debut.
Soon after, comments from fellow staff members who were present at the Thailand photo shoot at the time began to pour in. A photo of Morgan and Green with the entire staff at the restaurant was also posted.
Public opinion reversed in an instant.
『Wow, inflating a photo from over a year ago to look like a recent romantic getaway? I thought something was odd.』
『The two looked too confident for a secret getaway, I believed in Morgan oppa from the start.』
『It’s not LastFact, it’s LastLie. The answer for places like this is financial treatment. Sue them!』
Following this, K1 Construction also released a response article. It stated that they would take legal action against media outlets that damaged the company’s reputation with false articles.
Around 1 PM, all the media outlets that had been eagerly spreading the dating rumors between Green and Morgan took down all related articles.
“This is really something. They spread unverified information in an instant, and they change their stance just as quickly.”
Hannah shook her head at the media’s behavior.
Shortly after, Green sent one photo for the Paris collection participation to Director Jang Hyun Soo, and he released it to the press.
Fans went wild over Morgan’s alluring image, full of decadence that had never been seen before. It was a measure that strictly followed the rule of ‘covering one issue with another issue.’
The dating rumor between Morgan and Green was instantly forgotten in people’s minds.
Just then, Green’s phone rang. It was Sun Woo.
“Yes, thankfully it seems to be resolving well. I’m glad you found out late.”
Green laughed at Sun Woo’s sincerely upset words. Then Sun Woo cautiously asked.
“Yes. I was going to meet father later and hear directly from him.”
Sun Woo hurriedly hung up after stopping mid-sentence. Green was curious about what he was going to say, but decided to follow his words for now.
“Hannah, can you take me to the studio? I want to finish up Morgan’s photo work there.”
At Green’s words, Hannah immediately drove her to the studio. But the problem erupted right after.
Less than 5 minutes after Green and Hannah arrived at the studio, Morgan showed up.
“Green noona, Director Jang Hyun Soo is really capable, isn’t he? He said he’d look after me until I find an agency, but shouldn’t I just sign a formal contract with him?”
As the excited Morgan grabbed Green and chattered on, the color drained from Hannah’s face.
“You idiot! What are you doing here at a time like this?”
“Why? The dating rumor has all been cleared up now, hasn’t it?”
Hannah quickly looked out the window, pushing aside Morgan who was bewildered, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Sure enough, three or four reporters with telephoto lenses were loitering in front of the building, holding cameras.
Seeing them, Morgan’s face also turned pale.
“They must have followed you here. If photos of you leaving this building spread, they’ll write new fiction about something hidden between you and Green.”
“I didn’t know. I’m really sorry, Green noona.”
Morgan looked at Green with eyes that seemed about to cry. Green also stood there, dumbfounded.
At that moment, Hannah grabbed Morgan’s hand and dragged him outside. Morgan was easily pulled along by her momentum.
As she and Morgan came out of the building, the reporters’ cameras all turned towards them at once.
Hannah dragged Morgan into a narrow space between buildings.
“You don’t want to cause any more harm to Green, right?”
“Of course not!”
“Do you trust noona?”
“…What?”
Not understanding Hannah’s words, Morgan stared at her blankly with his mouth open.
At that moment, Hannah wrapped her arms around Morgan’s neck and forcefully kissed him on the lips.
