But beyond the splendor, Seowon’s theme hotel could not be overlooked.
Because the State Guest House would be the important starting point of Korean hotel culture beyond splendor.
Unless the evaluators were fools, they couldn’t ignore that synergy effect.
It was a game that anyone could see was won, and Seorin simply instilled confidence using her own image.
The result was a great success.
In the end, Jo Minhyung, who had axed his own feet, might have this expression he saw today come from self-reflection.
But the satisfaction towards Minhyung was only for a moment, and Seorin returned to the real world, a world without Taejoon to share this joyful news with.
“Oh, by the way, Vice President. I just received a call. I haven’t found out who Seo Jiwon’s sponsor is yet, but I found an interesting fact.”
“What is it?”
“The drama Seo Jiwon chose for her comeback this time. Do you know?”
“Yeah.”
“It turns out Jo Minhyung invested in that drama.”
“Ha!”
A chuckle escaped from Seorin’s lips. She already knew he hit rock bottom, but was it really this bad? He was truly a dirty human being.
“Then it’s obvious that Jo Minhyung is Seo Jiwon’s sponsor, right?”
“Seems like it.”
Now that the backer was revealed, she could finally understand the intention behind that picture. But Seorin wasn’t swayed by Jo Minhyung’s shallow tricks. She never believed in such photos from the beginning.
However, if the opponent was Jo Minhyung, she couldn’t easily let it slide either. If she didn’t properly uproot this time, who knows what Jo Minhyung might do with his weed-like vitality.
So Seorin decided to make this move thrown by Jo Minhyung hers.
“Manager Park, can you check Seo Jiwon’s location right now?”
“Well, yes. Just in case, I had someone follow her. But why?”
“Then let’s head there.”
“Now? Not going into the office?”
“Since we successfully won the bidding, I’m calling it a day for today.”
Making a clear declaration of leaving work, she looked out the window, leaving Manager Park’s mind in a chaotic mess of questions.
“Why? Are you going to grab her by the hair or something? That’s not your style, Vice President.”
“No. There’s no value in grabbing her by the hair. Why would I bother with such trouble?”
“Really? Then why do you want to meet her in person?”
Right. Why meet her?
Looking at her through the rearview mirror with dilated pupils, Manager Park threw the question. In response, Seorin turned her gaze back to him, smiling with a raised corner of her mouth, and whispered distinctly.
“I’m not going to catch such a small fox.”
“…….”
“I’m going after Jo Minhyung.”
Arriving in LA, Taejoon headed to a small café, the meeting place with Han Jiseon. Even in the taxi on the way, he had many thoughts while glancing at the passing LA scenery.
What truth was he trying to hear by coming all the way here?
However, the voice of Han Jiseon, saying to meet and talk, lingered in his ears like the devil’s temptation all day, making it impossible to ignore.
After all, the truth had already grown beyond his control, as uncontrollable as it could be.
Whatever truth Han Jiseon harbored, now there was no way but to be drawn towards it. With a conflicted heart, he had come this far.
Upon reaching the destination and entering the café, despite being 20 minutes early, he could see Han Jiseon who had arrived first.
“You came early.”
“Yes. I have something to think about…”
Unlike when he met her a few days ago, she calmly opened her mouth, looking him in the eye.
“I was surprised when I got your call.”
“Yes, you will. Honestly… I never wanted to bring up this story again even if I died.”
“I’m sorry. I made you revisit the worst memories you wanted to forget.”
“No, it’s okay. I understand. I’m trembling and my heart hurts too… The bloodline is, after all, quite profound.”
Taejun lowered his head.
In the face of the truth, he could feel himself shrinking.
“I’ve been silent all this time because I didn’t want anyone else to get hurt or be scarred by this.”
“…….”
“And I, too, was afraid to speak the truth.”
“Yes. So… Thank you.”
From Han Jiseon’s expression and tone, he could sense how much thought and deliberation had gone into coming here. So, with a slightly apologetic feeling, Taejun decided to relieve her burden.
“In fact, besides you, Han Jiseon, there is another person I shared this story with. I’ve heard various truths. The more I hear, the more absurd the truth becomes, and my head doesn’t stop spinning.”
“…….”
“So, Han Jiseon, you don’t have to feel burdened. You’re not the only one who heard this story. But I heard you were very close to my mother. I came here to finalize this truth because I think hearing it from you, without any doubt, would be better than hearing it from others. I am… ready.”
He already knows the truth. He just came to confirm and finish things. Taejun told Han Jiseon so.
However, Han Jiseon, with a deeply troubled expression, bounced off his intention as if whispering.
“Whatever others may say, that, too, might be a truth.”
“…….”
“But no one knows as much as I do. No one.”
She was extremely firm. However, her eyes were mixed with an unknown fear, despite her confident words.
It happened 20 years ago.
Why is she still so trembling and afraid?
For a moment, Taejun thought there might be something beyond the truth he knows.
If the fact that Chairman Baek and his mother had an affair is the entirety of the truth embraced by Han Jiseon, it could be a fatal blow, but there’s no reason for Han Jiseon to be so shaken.
What is the real truth?
Han Jiseon began to whisper the truth with a trembling voice.
“Listen carefully to what I’m about to say from now on.”
“……. ”
“Jung Yeosa… I mean, my mother, didn’t commit suicide.”
“What…?”
At that moment, Taejun’s hand on the table dropped weakly.
Han Jiseon’s words were correct.
The truth she embraced was,
“My mother… was murdered by someone.”
It surpassed all the truths he knew.
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?”
