“I also played the role of Jinvong Phil’s chauffeur back then.”
The man said that he had taken Jinvong Phil to a luxury residence for a brief visit, dropped him off there, and waited outside.
“I was waiting in the car, and on that day, many people presumed to be employees were leaving work in a hurry, which seemed strange.”
As expected, this testimony was consistent with the story Detective Park had shared.
Dohjun concentrated as the story became increasingly clear.
“I was just waiting for him to finish his business there as usual. After a while, Jinvong Phil showed up.”
“Is that so?”
“But, really unexpectedly, he came out holding a newborn baby.”
“A baby?”
“Yes. It was a baby who had been born not long ago, and I remember thinking it was strange that he suddenly came out carrying the baby.”
Dohjun’s lips parted slightly.
Surely, the thought crossed his mind: Could it be?
“So, what happened?”
“He said let’s go home, so I drove him. The next day, I heard that President Jintae Pyeong had returned to the fire.”
“I see.”
Having judged that he had heard enough of the story, Dohjun stood up from his seat.
Secretary Choi, who had been waiting outside, came in and handed over several checks.
“Oh, this much…”
The man bowed his waist to Dohjun several times, expressing his gratitude.
“Could you come to the police and tell this story again today?”
The man vigorously nodded.
“In fact, this story has been haunting me, and sometimes I have nightmares. If there is a reinvestigation, I will sincerely cooperate.”
“Thank you.”
Dohjun left the vinyl house using his long legs.
He instructed Secretary Choi.
“That man, I hope he moves to another place for a while.”
It shouldn’t be known by Jinvong Phil before going to the police again, just in case.
Secretary Choi quickly understood Dohjun’s intention and agreed to handle it.
“Director, should I take you to the company?”
In his heart, Dohjun wished there were Tae-yeon’s guest house, where he wanted to fly right away.
But he couldn’t do that; there were still things to take care of.
“That’s right.”
While riding in the car, Dohjun quickly organized the things he had to do.
He had to pressure Jinvong Phil even more.
He also had to stimulate Taejin.
And he had to successfully organize and conclude the new product contest that Tae-yeon wanted to hold.
He wished time would pass slowly and quickly at the same time.
“I miss her.”
It had only been a few days since they separated.
It was quite amusing that even after hearing the words about divorce, I had nothing but thoughts about Tae-yeon.
“When you come back, you’ll receive twice, no, even more than that.”
So, Tae-yeon was one of the people who needed to prepare themselves.
Tae-yeon smiled when she checked the notice that appeared on KK Food’s SNS.
It was a story that the recipe contest I proposed is starting today.
“Should I give it a try?”
If the participants are low, it will dampen the spirits of the KK Food staff and Dohjun.
It was a way for Tae-yeon to contribute support from a distance.
Since coming to the guest house, Tae-yeon took the lightest steps out of the room.
As she entered the kitchen, Il-hoon and Yi-hoon were sitting.
“Hello.”
Feeling sorry for herself yesterday, she couldn’t even eat the meat the two men had grilled properly and had burst into tears as she ran inside. That’s why today, Tae-yeon spoke first.
“You grilled the meat deliciously yesterday, and I couldn’t eat it, so I’m sorry.”
“Oh well. No, it’s okay. Smoke was so heavy that we shed tears throughout grilling too.”
“That’s right. It was the smoke’s fault.”
Feeling awkward about what Tae-yeon might say, the two men were again chatting away today.
The cautiousness they had towards her was gradually crumbling.
Tae-yeon, taking out the konjac rice she bought from the mart yesterday, asked carefully,
“If you haven’t had a meal yet, would you like this?”
Seeing the konjac rice that Tae-yeon offered, the two men brightened and reached out their hands, laughing.
“Hehe. What’s this?”
“This is…”
She closed her mouth, refraining from saying that she made it. It would be difficult to hear an objective evaluation, then.
“It’s a product that’s trending these days.”
“Really? Oh, konjac rice? Interesting.”
Il-hoon and Yi-hoon were excited, each taking a piece.
“Do we just eat this like regular rice?”
“Yes, that’s fine, or I was thinking of making fried rice.”
“Really?”
The two men exchanged glances and spoke warmly.
“I’d like to try making fried rice too.”
“Then should I make a lot and share it?”
“Oh, it’s an honor.”
Without even ordering, the two men took out the ingredients for fried rice from Tae-yeon’s shopping bag and began washing the vegetables.
“Even though we look like this, we’re also good at cooking.”
They tied aprons around their necks and handed one to Tae-yeon.
Tae-yeon just stood there, unable to accept it.
Ha. She took a short breath, barely suppressing the overwhelming emotions.
“If you don’t want to show your back, it would be nice to tie the apron from the front.”
