He was known as an entrepreneur from a gangster background, and he carried an air of toughness as proof.
[Oh, that… Yes, I’ve heard about it.] It was a voice that showed no signs of intimidation. [I sincerely apologize. I’ve already given him a stern warning.]“A stern warning…”
However, Jo Min-hyung continued to hover around Seo Rin. With the intention of using him to seek revenge against her.
Chairman Baek couldn’t forgive that.
“It seems that Chairman Cho’s words don’t have much influence on my son. Well… when it comes to children, things rarely go as we wish, don’t they?”
It was clearly a sarcastic tone. And Chairman Baek saw through the meaning behind those words in an instant.
“What do you mean?”
“My son is still hovering around Seo Rin.”
“It seems he wanted to use me to seek revenge against Seo Rin.”
There was a moment of breathless silence. Chairman Baek could almost hear Chairman Jo simmering with anger in that silence.
Yeah, you’re angry, right? So, make sure to discipline your child!
“It’s true that Seo Rin and I have different management styles at the company. But she’s my only niece. My brother’s… daughter, you see.”
Just for that reason alone, he had a duty to protect Seo Rin from such dirty affairs.
“So please, never again… I hope you won’t have my son around Seo Rin.”
“And also, tell me not to contact you again.”
With those words, Chairman Baek disconnected the call. However, despite issuing such a stern warning, his anger did not subside.
To quell his anger, he turned his gaze outside the window, but his insides were simmering. As if he were harboring molten lava in his chest, ready to erupt at any moment.
She was usually a thorn in his side, Seo Rin, but he didn’t know why he was so angry about this trivial matter. Even if he had caused such a thing, seeing that Jo Min-hyung had escaped unharmed, it must have surely ended with an attempt.
He felt like he was about to vomit.
The alcohol he had been drinking with Jo Min-hyung all this time felt like it was scratching his stomach.
That damn bastard.
How dare you, someone like you!
Chairman Baek thought that this inexplicable anger was his meager pride toward the Baek family, after all, Seo Rin was still his niece and a member of the Baek family.
He wanted to justify this inexplicable emotion, even if it meant doing it like that.
This indescribable emotion.
Tae Joon entered a small restaurant.
It was a very shabby and cramped space. Huh Kyung-jun, who had already arrived there, was drinking soju with modest snacks.
“I’m sorry. I started first.”
“No, it’s okay.”
“Would you like a drink?”
“Yes, just one.”
Huh Kyung-jun silently filled his glass with alcohol. Tae Joon took the drink and looked around. Other than the grandmother who seemed to be the owner, there were no other customers.
It was uncertain whether he had rented the place on purpose to have a private conversation with him or if it was originally an unsuitable location for business. What mattered was that it was a place where they could have a very discreet conversation.
Tae Joon quickly downed the drink Huh Kyung-jun had poured for him.
The strong alcohol scratched his throat as it went down, and his empty stomach roared as he stood up.
“Please enjoy. This place is famous for its side dishes. The owner is from Jeolla Province, so the food tastes great.”
Tae Joon picked up some snail noodles with his chopsticks and ate them. Just as Huh Kyung-jun had said, the taste was excellent. However, it wasn’t a situation where he could comfortably savor the food.
“I didn’t expect you to contact me again. Thank you.”
“Well… I actually had a lot of doubts about whether I should say these things.”
“Any truth is fine. I’m not trying to deny the truth; I’m trying to understand.”
Heo Kyung-jun smiled bitterly and nodded.
“Actually, I was quite surprised at first. Why now, after so long… So, I was quite flustered that day.”
“I understand. You must have been.”
“But then, when I got home, I remembered. Who you are…”
Please note that the passage ends with an unfinished sentence, possibly indicating a pause or a cliffhanger.
This time, Tae-jun nodded. Unless Heo Kyung-jun was a complete fool, he could easily guess who Tae-jun was.
“We met 20 years ago, didn’t we?”
“Yes.”
“I remember. It’s still so vivid.”
Heo Kyung-jun furrowed his brow as if he were recalling the day they first met. And in Tae-jun’s mind, that day’s events passed by just as vividly.
“I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to say this, but even without a mother… you’ve grown up very well. That’s why I thought you were entitled to know. Of course, it won’t change the outcome.”
Please note that the passage ends with an unfinished sentence, possibly indicating a pause or a cliffhanger.
Heo Kyung-jun emphasized that the outcome wouldn’t change.
In the end, he was indirectly appealing to the notion that his mother’s suicide was accurate.
“But it could be a truth you really don’t want to know. Are you sure you’re okay with it?”
“Yes. I’m okay with any truth.”
In response to Tae-jun’s firmness, Heo Kyung-jun refilled his glass, then spoke slowly.
“You’ve already read the police report I wrote, haven’t you?”
“Yes.”
“But there’s one fact that wasn’t disclosed there. Well, I couldn’t disclose it. It was a witness who came forward after the case had already been closed. Moreover… in my judgment, I didn’t think that testimony could change the outcome. It also had something to do with the deceased’s honor.”
“What…”
“To explain in detail… about a month after the case was closed, a woman came to see me. She said there was something that others didn’t know.”
“Who was she?”
“She used to work at that house. However, she left the place a few months before the incident, so we never even thought of her.”
“What was the content?”
In response to Tae Joon’s question, Heo Kyung Joon remained silent. Instead, he retrieved a small note from inside his suit and handed it to Tae Joon.
“What’s this?”
Tae Joon unfolded the note that Heo Kyung Joon had handed him. It contained a name and a phone number.
“Goo Young Hee…”
Facing Tae Joon, who was quietly uttering the name written on the note, Heo Kyung Joon spoke softly, “Honestly, I thought it would be better for you to hear it directly from her rather than from my mouth.”
“…….”
“So, why don’t you hear it directly from the person involved?”
The air around them grew heavy, weighing down on Tae Joon’s shoulders.
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?”
