Seoha averted her gaze at Myunghoon’s words. It seemed like her hidden desires were exposed, and she couldn’t say anything in response.
Was Myunghoon talking about her, knowing that she still wanted to escape from Taekyung?
“So you won’t regret it, follow your heart. That’s the way it should be.”
Myunghoon slowly stroked Seoha’s head.
Seoha pulled Myunghoon into a hug and fixed her gaze blankly on the television.
“Still, will it be okay?”
“Of course. Life is short. So do what you want and live. Love and live to your heart’s content.”
Seoha’s heart fluttered at Myunghoon’s words.
Was it okay to run away from Taekyung? Would she not regret it if she ran away?
Did she really live and love to her heart’s content? She still felt lingering attachment, excitement when she saw him.
Why was she only thinking of running away?
Is it okay to distance Minjun from Taekyung?
When Seoha hesitated, a text message arrived on her phone.
It was Taekyung.
[I’ll arrive in Yangpyeong in an hour. Is Minjun asleep?]Seoha stared at the message for a moment before slowly typing each letter.
[Minjun is asleep. I’m at Somang Villa right now.]As Seoha sent the text, her phone rang again, indicating another message from Taekyung.
[Okay. Show yourself for a moment. I miss you.]Seoha’s heart pounded at Taekyung’s message expressing longing. She resented her unruly heart but knew it was futile.
Not long after, the phone rang loudly, and thinking it was Taekyung, she answered the call.
“Hello?”
This is Gwak Minseop.
“Ah… Minseop. What’s the matter?”
Can we talk for a moment? I’m in front of your house now.
Seoha hesitated. However, she decided that she needed to say goodbye.
Minseop had helped her a lot during this time.
“Yes. I’ll be out soon.”
Seoha grabbed her coat, put it on, and went outside.
Meanwhile, Taekyung couldn’t stand Yuna anymore. He decided that he needed to clarify his relationship with Yuna and correct the misunderstandings between Seoha and Minjun.
He wanted to protect the two of them.
Taekyung called Gosiyeol, his middle school friend.
Hey, Han Taekyung! Long time no see! You, this rascal, didn’t say a word to me! You even got caught in a serious photo!
“Sorry. That’s why I’m trying to confide in you. Please write a good article. I don’t want them to be misunderstood.”
Taekyung’s voice was unusually gentle. Thinking about Seoha and Minjun made him feel warm and affectionate.
Siyul, sensing Taekyung’s change through the phone, raised an eyebrow and picked up his car keys.
“Kid. I’m coming right away. Han Taekyung, be prepared. I’ll expose everything.”
Siyul rushed to the T&K company’s representative office. No, he flew there at a speed that could be described as flying.
He opened the door to the representative office with a bang, and a man with disheveled hair, along with a woman with a neat short cut, walked in.
“Oh! Friend! My friend! Nice to see you, nice to see you! I almost felt hurt, you punk!”
“Thanks for coming all this way. Did you write the article?”
Siyul embraced Taekyung without hesitation. Taekyung accepted it without feeling uncomfortable. Somehow, Taekyung seemed calmer than usual.
“If it’s for a scoop, I’ll even write a congratulatory message! Reporter Son, this rotten guy is my friend!”
“Hello, I’m Nuri Ilbo reporter Son Jaeyeong. Nice to meet you. I look forward to working with you today.”
“Nice to meet you. I truly look forward to working with you.”
“Well, let’s start with a few photos first. And throughout the interview, I might take some pictures, so don’t worry about it and just talk.”
“Got it.”
As Taekyung rarely gave interviews, the fact that he was being interviewed was a significant point itself. Moreover, Taekyung was currently carrying a big issue. Although the articles related to Seoha were all treated with blind processing, it was impossible to erase everything from people’s minds.
Taekyung willingly followed Jaeyeong’s request and took photos. After a while, Siyul took out a recorder and began the interview.
“Shall we get into the main topic now?”
Taekyung motioned for Siyul and Jaeyeong to sit on the sofa, and he also took a seat. Siyul skillfully placed the recorder on the table and prepared to take notes with a reporter’s notebook.
“From now on, I will ask not my friend Gosiyeol but the capable Gosiyeol reporter. Representative Han Taekyung, what is your relationship with the woman in the rumors? Please provide a sincere answer.”
“The woman currently being accused of being a gold digger is the person I love. And first, I want to correct the distorted facts. My relationship with Jin Yuna, the daughter of Representative Jin Cheol-wook, is not an engagement.”
“Denying the engagement relationship that has been treated as a fact for the past five years, now that you deny it, please explain in more detail why you are denying that it was an engagement.”
Siyul looked at Taekyung with a puzzled expression, asking for additional explanations.
“Even five years ago and now, the person I love is not Jin Yuna but the person misunderstood as a gold digger. I first met that person six years ago, liked her first, and we were planning to get married, but we suddenly broke up. Recently, we met again.”
Taekyung’s answer sounded too calm, making it resonate sadly. Siyul felt a pang of regret. However, he was a reporter, and he couldn’t just defend his friend.
“So, what caused the rumor with Jin Yuna to spread like this?”
“With Jin Yuna, adults suggested that we meet. I refused, but this incident was distorted into an engagement. I didn’t feel the need to deny it at the time, as I was in sorrow after that person disappeared. We met again recently.”
“Why didn’t you try to correct it if it wasn’t true?”
“It meant nothing to me. If it wasn’t that person, whether I got engaged or married to anyone else, it didn’t mean anything. There was only that person for me. Even now and back then, I’m still clinging to her.”
Throughout Taekyung’s answers, Siyul occasionally saw a faint smile, but it tugged at his heart. Yet, he had to ask the most sensitive question to Taekyung.
“You have a child, and who is the child? Is it Representative Han Taekyung’s child?”
“That child… is my child.”
Taekyung’s pupils were deep and tranquil.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
