Past midnight,
Seo Rin, who was sitting alone on the bed, opened her eyes at the sound of the doorbell ringing late at night.
“What now, again?”
She really liked the luxury mansion that Ji Han had gotten for her.
However, occasionally, like today, she would get annoyed when her drunken neighbor rang the doorbell.
“As if I wasn’t irritated enough!”
Seo Rin, who hadn’t been able to sleep since she couldn’t reach Ji Han after he attended the shareholders’ meeting, was sitting there.
She threw her cellphone nervously.
The fact that her neighbor was getting on her nerves in the middle of all this was extremely unpleasant.
And as the doorbell rang again, Seo Rin got up.
“I’m going out, I’m going! I should move or something.”
As she walked to the living room, she checked the intercom and was shocked.
Forgetting that she was wearing a slip, she headed to the entrance.
“Brother!”
The person who had come was none other than Ji Han.
“Why didn’t you answer your phone today?”
“…Wait a moment, step aside.”
Ji Han, who hadn’t been in contact all day, was standing right in front of her.
As he mumbled a reply and bent his body, the strong smell of alcohol wafted up.
“Did you drink?”
“A little.”
Ji Han, who had been staring at her intently, nodded his head slightly.
Then he went inside the house first.
Ji Han, who had headed to the living room first, was sitting deep in the sofa.
Despite the considerable distance between them, the smell of alcohol was still permeating her nostrils.
“Tsk. Doesn’t seem like you drank just a little.”
Looking at Ji Han, who was covering his eyes with his arm and lying down, it was clear that something bad had happened at the shareholders’ meeting.
Even with Seo Rin’s sharp voice, he didn’t move at all.
“I said we should drink together if something bothers you…”
Seo Rin placed a bottle of water in front of him.
Only then did Ji Han remove his arm covering the corner of his eyes and meet her gaze.
“Drink this for now. The tea will be ready soon.”
He sat up and drank the water in one gulp.
Still not seeming satisfied, he threw the empty plastic bottle on the floor.
“Ah!”
Startled by the sound of the plastic bottle hitting the floor, Seo Rin turned to him.
The atmosphere froze like an ice rink in an instant.
“She already knew.”
“…Huh?”
“She knew about the relationship between you and me.”
“Is that even possible? Yeo Jin knew?”
With a shocked expression, she covered her mouth and asked with a trembling voice.
Instead of answering, he dumped the photos from the document envelope onto the table.
“What is all this…?”
Seo Rin approached and picked up the top photo with her shaking hand.
Blatant evidence of their secret affair was captured in the photos.
They were the photos Yeo Jin had thrown at Ji Han.
“At the shareholders’ meeting, Yeo Jin nominated Seo Jae Ha as a professional manager.”
“That person, isn’t he your brother?”
“Yes. He’s the eldest son of the Hojin Group and my halfbrother.”
Listening to Ji Han’s words, Seo Rin looked through the photos one by one and sank down next to the table.
She was more convinced by the sight of him losing his composure, unlike his usual self.
Silence settled between them.
“She pretended not to know even though she knew we were seeing each other. It’s so creepy.”
At the end of a brief silence, her trembling voice echoed through the living room.
“It doesn’t seem like the sister I knew. Right? She’s changed so much, even at the hotel.”
Wrapping her arms around herself as if she was cold, she sought an answer from Ji Han.
“How could Yeo Jin give the management rights to CEO Seo Jae Ha instead of you? It’s too much. They were engaged!”
“…”
“How could she, when you were supposed to be her husband…”
At Seo Rin’s words, he let out a deep breath.
“Our engagement was broken today.”
He replied curtly to Seo Rin as he pressed his temple as if it hurt.
Surprised by his words about the broken engagement, she sat up.
“She said we should break up.”
She swallowed her breath, forgetting even to speak.
Then she covered her face with her trembling hands.
Seo Rin couldn’t breathe in surprise. A breakup, they had broken up.
If Ji Han hadn’t been in front of her, she might have let out a cheer of joy.
In that brief moment, she even thought that becoming the mistress of Hojin Group, which she had only dreamed of, was not entirely impossible.
But soon, she lowered her head.
It was not the time yet.
Despite the joy that rose throughout her body, she wiped the smile off her lips.
“Yeo Jin said she would participate in the anchor audition.”
“…”
“I called to talk about such trivial things. Seeing you now, I must have been so thoughtless. You must have been struggling.”
She leaned on Ji Han’s shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Listening to Seo Rin’s steady breathing with his eyes closed, he suddenly pulled her arms down.
“She applied for the public audition?”
“Yes… I heard she already applied.”
Suddenly, Ji Han’s eyes sparkled.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
