A jarring noise echoed in her ears, disturbing enough to stimulate her brain continually. Without realizing it, Seorin instinctively covered her ears.
“Seorin? Are you okay?”
Although Taehun asked with a concerned expression, Seorin couldn’t even respond.
At this moment, all she could do was close her eyes and wait for the noise in her ears to stop.
How much time had passed?
As the noise in her ears subsided, Taehun’s voice began to reach her ears again.
“…Are you okay? Headache? Should we go to the hospital?”
“No, Taehun. I’m fine now.”
Taehun got up and brought a glass of cold water. Seorin drank the water, calming her breathing.
Now she could understand Taehun. It was like the hook of truth piercing her head properly. Taehun had been bearing this feeling, where his ears didn’t hear and his brain stopped, all alone until now.
“Sorry. I spoke too directly without spinning it.”
“No, it’s okay. I’m fine. Just a little… shocked.”
“I understand. You must be very shocked, having directly experienced that terrible accident.”
“But… really? The accident was caused by someone’s contract?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“But the culprit was caught at the scene. In fact, it was the aggressor, not the perpetrator. It was an accidental collision.”
“It wasn’t a coincidence. That car specifically targeted the car you were in, driven by Baek Seorin.”
“How did they…?”
“So, that’s what Mrs. Jung found out. So when she tried to reveal the truth, she was murdered.”
Ha! The more Seorin heard, the more dumbfounded she became. She couldn’t say anything more at this point.
Her hands and feet trembled. It was a feeling she had never thought of before, a huge truth that swept over her like a hurricane.
She couldn’t think or speak anymore.
She felt a warm presence gently holding her trembling hand, but Seorin couldn’t focus on anything.
“Did my mother come to Mr. Park Namho because of that? How on earth did she find out about that truth?”
“Do you know that your mother took care of Baek Seorin?”
“Yes.”
“So, except when sleeping, she was almost always by Baek Seorin’s side. But one day, she took the young Baek Seorin to the playground. A young woman came with a boy, handed a big bag of snacks to Baek Seorin. When Mrs. Jung intervened, the woman said she gave it because the child was cute and hurriedly disappeared. That was their first encounter. Second, third… Mrs. Jung couldn’t approach because she was there, but she saw that woman wandering around Seorin several times after that.”
“Who is that…?”
“So, Mrs. Jung one day personally confronted that woman. She asked her why she was doing this, and if she intended to kidnap the child, she would report her. Then, the woman stammered and burst into tears, saying she was sorry. She apologized because she felt so sorry for the child… She wanted to apologize or do something in place of her husband. Only then did Mrs. Jung realize that the woman was the family of the aggressor in the accident Seorin had suffered.”
“The aggressor later died in prison. He was in the terminal stage of lung cancer, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct. He was in the terminal stage of lung cancer. After hearing the news of the man’s death from lung cancer, she came back and had a serious conversation with the woman. In the midst of it, the woman said her husband was a really kind and good person. Because of the child, she had no choice but to make an unavoidable choice. She repented and vowed to live from now on.”
“What…?”
“So, Mrs. Jung asked her more questions, but the woman spared her words and didn’t visit again after that. Mrs. Jung personally visited her house, and the son of that house was quite sick. Despite that, the medical expenses were too difficult to bear, and he couldn’t even think about surgery. But after hearing that the son recently had surgery, he came to seek advice from me.”
“Then, did your mother know who made the contract?”
“No. My mother passed away without knowing. However, she clearly knew where to restart the investigation and had circumstantial evidence, so it seems she was trying to talk to Chairman Baek about it.”
“So, at that time, it is certain that the accident was caused by a contract, right?”
“Yes.”
“How can you be sure of that?”
In response to Taehun’s question, Namho Park extended his leg, which he had hidden under the table all this time. Then, he lifted his pants, revealing a horrific scar.
“Because I ended up like this while investigating it.”
“!”
“Fortunately, I was able to save my life, but Mrs. Jung wasn’t so lucky.”
“What kind of people are…?”
In response to Taehun’s question, Namho Park placed a yellow envelope he had brought on the table.
“These are the documents I investigated 20 years ago.”
As Taehun examined the documents, Namho Park continued speaking.
