He drove hastily to the house where he was to meet Hae Joo.
Hae Joo, with her luggage still in the van, entered the agency building.
The tension was high, with Jin-han urgently advancing the shooting schedule.
“Hyun-seong, should we just run away?”
“Suddenly?”
“I just have a bad feeling.”
“What kind of…”
“It feels like a pit of fire in the Director’s office right now.”
“Don’t be too stressed.”
Jin-han had been hurrying her all the way there.
Unable to delay any longer, Hae Joo knocked and entered the office.
“Director.”
“Hae Joo, you’re here. Sit down.”
Upon seeing Hae Joo, Jin-han sighed heavily.
He moved to the sofa with a complicated expression and swallowed hard.
“About the rumor of Hae Joo’s marriage, I’ve found the source.”
“Who was it?”
“Don’t be shocked and listen well.”
A sharp glint flashed in Jin-han’s eyes.
In his unusually stern look, Hae Joo involuntarily shrank back.
“The rumor started from a nursing home operated by S Hospital.”
“That’s…”
“Yes. It’s where Park Do Jun’s father is staying.”
“He might have remembered me incorrectly due to his dementia.”
“The police have thoroughly considered that possibility,” Jin-han said, recounting his repeated conversations with Detective Kim before Hae Joo’s arrival.
“President Park Do Jun’s father told his doctor too that Ms. Hae Joo was his daughter-in-law, married to his youngest son,” Jin-han disclosed.
“……!”
“The doctor, thinking President Park was surely single, was puzzled by his claims about his daughter-in-law being actress Lee Hae Joo.”
“And then?”
“Finding it odd, the doctor asked where he heard it.”
Hae Joo’s eyes welled up with unshed tears. She clasped her hands together as her joints creaked at even the smallest movement.
“He said his son told him. That son is President Park Do Jun.”
“That means…”
“Park Do Jun deliberately started the rumor!” Jin-han exclaimed emotionally.
Tears streamed down Hae Joo’s cheeks, unnoticed.
Her mind wandered back to Do Jun’s clumsy proposal at the airport, his tall figure awkwardly smiling and calling her his bride.
“No, it can’t be…”
This incident had started with a rumor.
While any celebrity faces such trials, for Hae Joo, it was beyond that. It was an event that exposed a scar she wished to erase from her humble life.
Even if the whole world deceived her, Do Jun couldn’t. He was her only hero, her husband.
If Do Jun really did spread that rumor, if it was true…
“That bastard did it on purpose. He didn’t want to divorce, so he maliciously spread the rumor to keep Hae Joo for himself…”
“Stop!”
Hae Joo, covering her ears, screamed out.
Her cry, close to a wail, dimmed the light in her eyes.
Yet, Jin-han didn’t stop.
“What happened between you two in the past doesn’t matter.”
“Please…”
“Get a grip, Hae Joo! Can’t you see?”
Do Jun had spread the rumor.
If he hadn’t, Hae Joo might have been in the middle of a divorce lawsuit against him by now.
He was the first person she had opened her heart to, the only one who knew her voids, and she trusted him.
Jin-han argued that all this stemmed from Do Jun’s greed.
If true, it meant Hae Joo would lose everything.
“Park Do Jun’s only goal was to own you, Hae Joo.”
As Hae Joo looked up, tears that had blurred her vision fell heavily.
She seemed on the verge of collapsing, and Hyun-seong held her steady.
“Are you sure?”
“I called the detective several times because I couldn’t believe it myself.”
“Haa.”
“Hae Joo, you need to leave that house right now.”
“Director!”
“This news seems to have already leaked to the reporters.”
“What?”
“Now’s not the time to endure. First, distance yourself from Park Do Jun and think things over.”
“Hae Joo, you need to leave that house right now.”
“Director!”
“It seems the news has already leaked to the reporters.”
“What?”
“It’s not the time to endure. First, let’s distance ourselves from Park Do Jun and then think.”
As Hae Joo tried to rise from the sofa, she staggered.
Despite not being in a state to travel, she slowly turned around.
“I need to see Do Jun.”
Supported by Hyun-seong, Hae Joo stepped outside.
As soon as she got into the van and the door closed, she burst into sorrowful tears.
“Sister…”
“Take me home.”
Do Jun had deceived Hae Joo.
Anyone else, maybe, but not him.
“You need to go to the hospital first. You’re not in a good condition right now.”
Turning the car around, Hyun-seong rushed to the hospital run by their elder brother.
