After Taehoon’s astonishing emergency room proposal, time passed like a flash.
Jominhyeong, who had already been caught as the on-site criminal, not only faced imprisonment but also suffered a mild concussion when he swung a knife at Taehoon and got a solid blow to the back of his head from Sodam. However, he couldn’t escape the accumulated weight of his accumulated sins.
In the end, he received a prison sentence, and currently, he was incarcerated in prison. As Taehoon predicted, the Ocean Shipping, now without its leader, collapsed as its past irregularities were exposed, branded as an incompetent company. Everything was a result of cause and effect.
The world returned to peace.
The misdeeds of Chairman Cho and Jominhyeong gradually faded from memory, remembered only by the victims.
Serin still vividly remembered everything as if it happened yesterday. Taehoon, even now, would wake up abruptly and grit his teeth while talking about Chairman Cho and Jominhyeong.
And here was another victim, Seo Jiwon.
Serin was currently sitting across from Jiwon, having coffee after a long time.
“I’m sorry. You must be busy.”
“No, I happened to want a cup of coffee.”
“I saw the news. You’re getting married.”
“I’ve already submitted the marriage registration. It’s just the wedding ceremony.”
As Serin lightly laughed and sipped her coffee, Jiwon smiled and extended a small shopping bag.
“What’s this?”
“Just… a small gift.”
“No, I can’t accept something like this.”
“I didn’t buy it with money. I wanted to give you a really expensive gift, but you have more money than me, so it seemed meaningless. Lately, I’ve been going to a leather workshop. I made a small keychain. Please think of it as a wedding gift.”
Despite her refusal, Jiwon again extended the shopping bag. In the end, Serin couldn’t reject it and accepted it.
“I really like it. It’s beautiful. I’ll carry it well.”
Jiwon’s face, without makeup, turned red. Serin thought such a sight of Jiwon was truly beautiful.
“Um… I’m going to shoot an independent film this time.”
“Oh, that’s great!”
“I want to start over with my own strength from the beginning.”
“That’s great, Jiwon. You’ve thought well. Your talent shouldn’t go to waste.”
Jiwon felt her vision blurred at Serin’s encouragement. Even now, looking back, those days were like hell, but she could endure it because Serin was there. And, in the end, she triumphed. It was a path she could never have walked alone.
“I wanted to express my gratitude… I really wanted to say it. If it weren’t for President Baek, I would never have endured. That path… thank you so much for walking with me.”
“No, that’s something you should say to Ms. Jiwon. I’m grateful. Thanks to you, I also gained courage.”
“I won’t forget it for a lifetime. I’ll… really live diligently.”
Jiwon’s voice choked up. Serin, touched and grateful, warmly held her hand.
Life truly presented unexpected connections in unforeseen places.
Just like the two of them.
In the midst of Serin’s busy wedding preparations, Mrs. Park, for the first time in a while, went shopping at the department store.
With the wedding just a week away, she had no suitable bag to carry the carefully chosen Hanbok. So, Mrs. Park visited her favorite brand store, where she was escorted by a manager for a shopping spree.
“Madam, how about this? It’s the latest fall collection. It will suit your elegant image very well.”
“Will this go well with Hanbok?”
“Of course. Not only with Hanbok but also in your daily life. Is there anything else you need?”
“Oh, right, and a comfortable dress to wear at home.”
“Perfect timing. We have something nice. Would you like to try it on?”
The manager prepared several knit dresses, then guided Mrs. Park to the fitting room so she could try them on.
While trying on the dress in the fitting room, a familiar voice reached her ears.
“Welcome, customer. May I help you find something?”
“Oh, yes. I’d like to see bags and accessories.”
It was undoubtedly Serin.
“Do you have a particular style you prefer?”
“Elegant and sophisticated.”
Even after hearing Serin’s voice again, Mrs. Park left the fitting room. When the manager looked surprised and raised her head, Mrs. Park reassured her with a nod and carefully moved towards the direction where the voice was coming from.
However, at that moment, Mrs. Park hesitated and fell silent due to the unexpected conversation between the two.
“May I ask who will be wearing it?”
The calm voice of Serin was heard in response to the seller’s question.
“It’s my mom. My… mom.”
Not a stepmother, not just a mother.
But rather, Mom.
Could it be… Did I hear it wrong? Did my wish become too overwhelming, causing me to hear things incorrectly?
“It seems like a birthday present.”
“No, I’m getting married. Before that, I wanted to do something nice for her. The price doesn’t matter. Show me something elegant and sophisticated. My mom… likes things quite fancy.”
Eventually, tears burst out.
