The 7-Day Contract (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 6

The park developed alongside the new city featured a vast artificial lake at its center, with various walking paths laid out around it.

The car, speeding along the quiet midday road, soon arrived at the park’s parking lot.

Jeong Hyeok gently turned his wrist to steer the wheel. Even with his skillful cornering, the car slid smoothly and stably toward the entrance without the slightest wobble.

After parking and stepping out of the car, Jeong Hyeok raised his hand above his forehead as a sunshade. Looking up at the sky, he saw it was high and clear—the unmistakable mark of autumn.

Jeong Hyeok walked with stylish, unhurried strides onto the walking path. His relaxed cotton slacks and loosely worn oversized cardigan enhanced the depth of the season.

His steady, boat-like pace along the lakeside came to a halt at a fork in the path.

Going straight meant continuing on his current route, while turning right led to the spot where *that person* had asked to meet. After a moment’s deliberation at this crossroads, Jeong Hyeok quickly steered the stroller down the right-hand path.

It wasn’t really an appointment per se—more like a unilateral notification—but upon hearing that near-death voice, even his nonexistent sympathy had surged forth.

Upon reaching the designated spot, Jeong Hyeok glanced toward a secluded bench. Seeing *that person* crumpled at the edge instantly made the surroundings feel gloomy.
