Saying this, Kang Hyun let go of her arm.
“And if you truly cared about your family, you should’ve spoken to your mother and Choongsik first, not hide or tell me first. Even now, you show your selfishness, focusing only on yourself until the end. I detest that immensely.”
Kang Hyun paused his steps to leave and left one last remark.
“I hope the person you were in my young memories, faintly pleasant, doesn’t become more horrendous.”
With that, he walked out without looking back.
Ji Su, stepping back, collapsed to the floor.
“You… you made me this way. You always waited for me, always loved me… I thought you would always be there.”
Her soliloquy, uttered amidst flowing tears, vanished into thin air.
Kang Hyun ruffled his hair roughly, trying to erase the afterimage in his mind.
Why do such painful thoughts keep surfacing?
“Director! What are you doing here when it’s not even lunchtime?”
Startled by the voice, he turned to see Ji Yeon standing beside him, holding an iced Americano.
“I came out for a break with Choongsik, but when he saw you, he excused himself. He’s a sharp kid!”
Ji Yeon referred to Choongsik as a close male friend again.
Of course, just a close colleague at work.
Kang Hyun felt a twinge of jealousy at her behavior, but he wasn’t foolish enough to show it.
Seeing no one around, Ji Yeon sat on the bench beside Kang Hyun, and he soon joined her.
“I just needed some fresh air.”
“Indeed… these days, you’re living like a squirrel in a wheel, between your office and the meeting room. You need to breathe some outside air, even for a moment. Did you have a working lunch at your desk?”
Kang Hyun nodded with a smile, looking pitiable…
Ji Yeon gazed at him with a sympathetic expression for a moment.
These days, Kang Hyun was so busy that if they didn’t occasionally bump into each other at work, they only contacted each other through phone calls or messages.
“Well, at least convenience store lunches have improved. And the sandwiches near the office aren’t bad either.”
“Phew… I should pack you a lunch sometime. To energize our director.”
“No need to go through that trouble.”
“Don’t you want it? But I want to do it.”
Saying so, Ji Yeon leaned in and whispered in Kang Hyun’s ear.
“It’s been my wish to pack a lunch for my boyfriend. I’ve never done it and really want to try.”
With that, Ji Yeon’s cheeks flushed red, and Kang Hyun gently pinched her cheek.
“I must be really fortunate. My girlfriend is cute and adorable, and on top of that, she’s kind too.”
“Right. Director, you seem to be very lucky. I heard that your girlfriend is not only cute and adorable but also sexy? I don’t know about being kind though?”
The two of them shared a laugh at Ji Yeon’s joke.
“Did things go well when you met Ji Su?”
Kang Hyun had informed Ji Yeon beforehand via message when he went to meet Ji Su.
It was truly the attitude of a commendable boyfriend.
That’s why there were no misunderstandings or doubts about Kang Hyun.
Ji Yeon, who had been worried about developing trauma due to her relationship with Cha Min Woo, leading her to doubt her relationships with others, was reassured. Although she hadn’t expressed it, she feared that she might start doubting others.
But Kang Hyun didn’t give her a chance to harbor such feelings.
He was too clean-cut and straightforward.
To the point that she regretted not telling him about the few times she had bumped into or met Cha Min Woo.
It was too late to bring it up now, and even if she did, it wouldn’t be unjustified since she had reprimanded him.
‘I should tell him everything next time.’
“I couldn’t really talk properly. Ha…”
Kang Hyun, who usually didn’t show frustration in front of Ji Yeon, frowned and briefly looked fierce, recalling that time.
But realizing Ji Yeon was beside him, he quickly smiled again.
“I just listened to her one-sided story. There was a lot to say, but in the end, it seemed like she wanted me to come back… but I cut it off decisively.”
“I see…”
“If she ever says something strange to you again, please let me know. I don’t want Ji Yeon to have such an unpleasant experience.”
Although there was no particular emotion on Kang Hyun’s face, a brief coldness flashed in his eyes.
“And if she keeps making things difficult by bringing personal matters into work, it might be better to change her handler for work purposes.”
“I will.”
“I didn’t intend it, but I’m sorry for involving you in these unpleasant matters.”
Ji Yeon shook her head at Kang Hyun’s words.
“No, it’s not your fault, Kang Hyun. I will deal with Ji Su only as the author SOO, so don’t worry. I’ll handle it well.”
“Thank you.”
After talking with Ji Yeon, Kang Hyun, who had been mulling over various concerns, called Choongsik to his room.
“I called you because I have something to tell you. Sit comfortably.”
“Yes, Director.”
“Sorry for calling you suddenly. It seems like you might not be aware…”
“What… is it?”
“Your sister, Ji Su. Didn’t she tell you anything?”
“I was actually worried she might bother you, Hyung. She kept pestering me for days to give her your contact details, but I didn’t. Showing up after years and acting like this is just absurd and troublesome.”
“I see… And anything else?”
“Anything else? No, there wasn’t…”
Kang Hyun sighed deeply, looking at the confused Choongsik.
“Your sister seems to be ill. She said it herself, it’s cancer. Breast cancer.”
“What? My sister? Neither mom nor I knew anything about this…”
Kang Hyun briefly recounted his meeting with Ji Su and relayed what she had said about her illness.
“I thought it would be appropriate for Ji Su to tell you directly since it’s a personal matter, but knowing her, I feared she might not say anything. As family, you should be aware of such important matters.”
Choongsik seemed shocked, staying silent for a moment.
“Ah… Kwon Ji Su, really!”
Soon, he clenched his fist as if angered.
His sister was a loved family member, but a difficult person to understand.
She often caused trouble for her family and others, yet seemed to expect everyone to understand her behavior as natural.
“I’m sorry, Hyung… I mean, Director. I’ll talk to my sister. And though I can’t promise, I’ll try to make sure she doesn’t bother you anymore.”
“You don’t need to apologize.”
After a bit more conversation, they stood up from their seats.
Choongsik left Kang Hyun’s office and immediately called Ji Su.
“Ah… pick up the phone, sister.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
