“That’s why I’m doing this for your sake! Knowing the truth will hurt! So, please, don’t ask anymore. Please….”
Han Jiseon desperately stepped back.
Upon this, Taejoon, perhaps unknowingly, let go of her wrist that he had been holding.
No, maybe there was no longer any strength left to hold on.
Why, what is that truth you are holding so tightly?
“What… are you saying?”
“Exactly as it is. I said it would hurt. It’s better not to know!”
The truth that it’s better not to know.
It felt like the thin hope that had been held onto with all one’s might until the end had disappeared without a trace.
“I understand that burning feeling. Still, it’s better than knowing the truth. It’s nothing but Mrs. Jung’s son.”
“…….”
“So forget about the truth, and live even more diligently for what Mrs. Jung left behind.”
With those words, Han Jiseon quickly disappeared into the house.
But Taejoon, left alone, stood in that spot for a long time.
He couldn’t move at all.
In the face of the cruel truth, in the end, it felt like surrendering was the only feeling left.
At that moment, Seorin was sitting in a cafe, waiting for someone.
After drinking half of her ordered coffee, the person she was waiting for revealed themselves.
“Sorry. It suddenly started raining, and the traffic was jammed.”
“It’s okay. I’m the one who should apologize. I called you out while you were on break, So Dam.”
“No, it’s okay. Anyway, who would I talk to if I stayed at home? I don’t have any friends in Korea.”
“So Dam, what would you like to drink?”
“Please sit down, Director. I’ll place the order.”
So Dam didn’t even give her a chance to speak and hurriedly ran to the counter to buy a bottle of fruit juice.
“I’ve had too much coffee today, so this should be enough.”
Seorin nodded and showed a faint smile.
In fact, she didn’t know how many times she hesitated before calling So Dam here. Meeting the wife of a boss is not an easy thing from the secretary’s perspective.
Nevertheless, Seorin had no choice but to face So Dam. Precisely because of Taejoon.
“So Dam, I know it’s a difficult situation. Still, I wanted to know how Mrs. Jung’s case is progressing these days.”
“Ah…”
“Actually, it’s more appropriate to ask Taejoon directly. But he is in a position where he doesn’t want me involved in this case.”
“I understand.”
So Dam nodded in agreement. She knew very well why Taejoon disliked Seorin’s involvement. They found out why while investigating together.
The person who first witnessed his mother’s death.
However, at the same time, he lost consciousness and couldn’t remember many things, as stated in the police report.
“Then… can you tell me? Just as much as So Dam can say.”
Seorin understood So Dam’s perspective and didn’t force many things. However, she wanted to know. What led him into that profound nightmare?
“To be honest, I want to help, but I don’t know much. Since it’s not work-related, the president doesn’t share much with me either.”
“…….”
“But… since meeting Go Yeonghee, it seems like he’s being chased by something.”
“Go Yeonghee…?”
“Well, Go Yeonghee wasn’t on our list, actually. I got the name after meeting Director Heo again.”
“Is it true that she worked at our house?”
“Yes. We thoroughly investigated that. She worked there, and her identity was confirmed.”
Seorin nodded.
She had a lot on her mind.
And she felt incredibly pathetic for being utterly unhelpful. She didn’t know what to do. Even comforting words couldn’t be offered, so she ended up here.
But still, there was nothing Seorin could do.
“Maybe today, he went to meet Han Jiseon. Since he’s leaving tomorrow, he only has time today.”
“Yes, I heard about it. But why did Han Jisadam reject Taejoon? Does she not know Taejoon’s identity?”
“No. Everything was revealed. She said she’s the son of the deceased. Still, she refused. She’s very stubborn, so he went to meet her in person today.”
“That’s strange. From my vague memory, Han Jisadam and Taejoon’s mother were very close. So, she should have met him…”
“That’s weird to me too.”
So Dam nodded in agreement.
Seorin silently turned her gaze out the window.
It was raining.
Despite the warm coffee on not so cold days, her whole body felt cold.
The feeling that something was going wrong couldn’t be erased.
“We’ve arrived. Sir.”
After hearing the driver’s voice, Taejoon, who opened his eyes, didn’t move even after receiving the fare from the driver.
Unable to endure it soberly, he had a few drinks at the bar after getting off the car. But unlike last time, he didn’t indulge in a drinking spree to forget.
Han Jiseon, whom he met to overturn the truth.
However, instead, Taejoon confirmed and killed that profound truth.
There was no last move to overturn the truth.
[Dash] For your sake, I’m doing this! Because knowing the truth hurts!Knowing the truth hurts.
That statement confirmed everything.
Of course, it was clear that Han Jiseon had no intention of saying more. But Taejoon also didn’t have the courage to dig any deeper.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
