In response to the rather tense words, Eunseo’s pupils rapidly vibrated and rotated.
Taeha, lowering the faintly raised corners of his mouth, lightly pulled the paddle shift on the left side of the steering wheel after letting go of Eunseo’s arm.
Instantly, the black car sped up, swiftly racing along the quiet road.
“So, don’t speak lightly. Why is giving up so fast?”
“…It’s not that I give up quickly; some people are forced to give up. Like me.”
“Then, let me force you today.”
“Fear? Am I in a situation to be afraid?”
“Well.”
Expecting not to get an answer anyway, Eunseo glanced at the rapidly approaching road and rested her tired head on the seat without asking.
The car entered Seoul through Gyeonggi Province.
Taeha drove up the hill of Itaewon-ro and turned the car around the entrance of the parking lot, where a sparkling cream-colored wall stood.
Feeling the car’s movements slow down, Eunseo tensed her body. It wasn’t a police station, of course, and upon closer inspection, it was the place she came to find Gwon Taeha yesterday.
Large square tiles of dark gray were neatly arranged on the floor, and rough stones adorned the walls, and in front of the walls were several white arched structural pillars.
And between those pillars were rare-designed cars. They were black, white, red, or yellow, some glossy and some matte.
“Where is this?”
“Home.”
After casually answering, Taeha turned the key and got out of the car.
He said he would force me, and it’s a home?
While Taeha went ahead, Eunseo folded Woo Young’s jacket neatly over her arm and walked slowly. She couldn’t relax.
As the footsteps behind her became dull, Taeha turned around. Then, he slid down the suit jacket on his broad shoulders. It was because Eunseo was standing with a reasonable distance, her expression stiff.
“Why?”
“Just in case I go somewhere else… it’s okay even if it’s a police station. I’ll give you my contact information.”
“Am I scaring you?”
If going into this house feels daunting, will he get angry if I refuse?
I thought it didn’t matter where, but if the body wants to live even a little…
“You’re scared.”
“Rather than being scared, the situation is a bit…”
“It’s okay. It’s not just you. Everyone gets scared when they see me.”
Before his weak smile disappeared, the glass door behind him opened on both sides.
“Have you come, sir?”
A woman with short-cut hair, appearing to be in her early 40s, greeted Taeha with a light bow.
“Aren’t you sleeping?”
“Team Leader Choi called. He said you were injured.”
“All the news is fast today.”
“Dr. Baek is waiting for you in the reception room.”
“I’ll go right away. Also, please check this nurse here. If there’s any injury, report it, and if not, you don’t have to.”
The nurse turned to Eunseo with curious eyes, looking somewhat confused. She was the woman who had been looking for Taeha in front of the door yesterday.
“Well, since he doesn’t seem to be going inside, please try your best to keep him here, and don’t send him anywhere. He’s an important person.”
Taeha, with an expressionless face, emphasized the word ‘important’ more than necessary.
As Taeha walked inside, Eunseo didn’t take her eyes off him. After he disappeared into the corridor, the nurse lightly grabbed Eunseo’s arm.
“Excuse me, may I check you a bit?”
“I’m fine.”
“Not here, let’s go inside. The equipment is inside.”
“I’m not injured. Really.”
“The president asked me to check, so I have to. He said it’s an important person, so I can’t be negligent.”
The president? It was a moment when Eunseo became curious about what he does.
“Don’t worry. Whatever happened here, I’ll keep my mouth shut. The GK family doesn’t just roll on. Even if one person dies, who knows. Ah, is that scarier?”
Saying that, the nurse chuckled, but Eunseo couldn’t join in the laughter.
Words floating in her mind. GK, GK… Could it be the Hotel & Resort Group? A company that controls subsidiaries in shopping, construction, energy, finance, etc. The chairman is Kwon Ki-hoon, so Mr. Kwon. Kwon Taeha.
Thoughts starting with GK gradually spread their roots, eventually leading to a conviction about Taeha’s identity.
Eunseo scanned the extraordinary parking lot again. Tremendous wealth was evident.
Firm self-esteem.
[Who sent you?]A person in a vulnerable position to be attacked. And the person to attack won’t be just one.
[One thing is for sure, whether this document is false or real, you’ll have to wait for my lawyer.]A genuinely unaware expression and tone. Controlled situational dominance, seen from the foot pressing on Seongtae’s throat.
“Shall we go in now?”
“Uh, Mr. Kwon Taeha, or rather, President Kwon…?”
“Oh, my, you didn’t know? I thought everyone knew when our president came yesterday.”
A solid wedge was driven into a mere speculation.
Grandmother, how on earth is she connected with such a person?
While Eunseo was in awe, the automatic glass door opened. In front of the short corridor about 5 meters away was an elevator.
