Through the portable recorder in Lee Yunho’s hand, her voice was flowing. Isuren’s dry eyes widened. It was a conversation they had shared during their first meeting with Min Haeyeon.
“Where did you get it?”
Isuren spat out harshly towards Lee Yunho, who was standing casually.
“Are you really asking because you don’t know?”
“…”
Despite being insolent, Lee Yunho’s words were true. Isuren, in order to give strength to the hand that was involuntarily rising to her unsteady heart, did not hesitate.
‘Did you record it from the first day?’
After adjusting her breath for a moment, Isuren opened her eyes fiercely.
Most people would be flustered when they saw Isuren’s eyes like this, which she rarely showed, but Lee Yunho, who had competed with her since childhood, did not even blink.
Lee Yunho forcibly entered her house to shake the evidence; Isuren understood that without any explanation.
If this gets exposed, she will be tormented here and there for a while.
Of course, social controversies can be resolved over time, but the chairman of Mibon Group was a person who would not overlook any small flaws.
Perhaps, while she is dealing with the situation, Lee Yunho will quickly strike and leave. That’s because he has reached that level of skill, and that’s why he has been competing with her until now.
‘Min Haeyeon!’
Isuren shouted the name of the absent figure in her heart.
Why is she trying to take away the position of Mibon’s leader after Doha? Just who is Min Haeyeon?
For the first time in her life, Isuren was engulfed in unfamiliar emotions.
This alien emotion, which did not go well with the confident and bold Isuren, full of vigor until this age, was ‘defeat.’
Arriving late in the evening, Doha listened to today’s story while stroking the sleeping Dohui on the large bed. Although Dohwa seemed to listen quietly, there was no sign of any disturbance, but the back of Dohui’s head, which gently brushed through her hair, had tense veins.
The next morning.
When Dohui woke up from sleep, she sullenly expressed that she had taken the beds of Haeyeon and Doha first, perhaps to break the stiff atmosphere.
“Miss, are you really going to the United States?”
“…?”
To Dohui, who is already boarding a plane despite returning home yesterday, Haeyeon raised an eyebrow.
Although he didn’t say anything yesterday, Doha, who seemed to have the same thoughts, looked at Dohui with a somewhat serious expression.
Dohui, who recognized the awkward state of the two adults, smiled brightly.
“I thought I would be a bother if I stayed when you guys handle people like Isuren or Han Yunseo in Korea.”
Although it was a much omitted speech, Doha and Haeyeon understood what Dohui meant.
Dohui seemed to think that if she stayed in Korea, it would be a hindrance when dealing with people like Isuren or Han Yunseo.
Understanding Dohui’s thoughtful remark, Doha and Haeyeon ultimately couldn’t stop her.
So, after coming to Korea and dragging the unresolved career, Dohui met Jua, who was blaming herself alone.
“… Dohui, I…”
“I’m sorry, Jua unni.”
Peeking cautiously to check if Dohui was okay and intending to apologize, Jua, who was surprised by Dohui’s apology first, blinked her swollen eyes widely but Dohui did not accept the apology and raised the corners of her mouth.
“You didn’t listen and came in secretly to eavesdrop on our conversation, so I should be the one apologizing.”
Unlike usual, without aegyo or whining, Jua spoke calmly. Hesitant for a moment, Jua soon wrapped her arms around Dohui.
The two stayed together at the airport until the plane arrived, then parted ways. During that time, due to Dohui’s strict instructions that there would be no farewell, Haeyeon stayed at home.
Doha and Haeyeon sat on the sunny front porch, looking at the garden.
“Miss, you’ve really grown up.”
When Haeyeon spoke, Doha leaned her head on Haeyeon’s shoulder, and softly replied, “Indeed.”
People on the street seemed cheerful despite the low temperature in the characteristic air of deepening night. Relying on the dim light, Sureen descended the narrow stairs.
The music, which had been faintly audible from the entrance, became louder, creating a noisy atmosphere.
Meeting someone today in a place like this was rare for Sureen, and it had been five years since the last time before going to the UK.
Can we meet?
The voice transmitted through the communicator was somewhat different from before.
Even if she knew everything now and there was time left, Sureen did not take off the mask she had always worn.
Isn’t that obvious?
…Thank you.
With a slow response, the call ended.
Thinking about the time the two had shared for a long time, it was a dry conversation.
Descending with these thoughts, the underground air felt even more stifling.
Unlike the narrow corridor, the interior was wide, and young people were scattered throughout.
The atmosphere of freely drinking alcohol reminded Sureen of British pubs.
Entering inside, Sureen asked the staff about a table for a solo woman.
